Maybe I am the only not surprised here. Hugely jealous and happy for the OP, but not surprised. My understanding is that all PTS cars that were to be DELIVERED in October, made it through the process. Its really those cars with PRODUCTION beginning in October or later (maybe even September or later) whereby PTS is being nixed....

Pics of the Gulf Blue? No. I was offered an East Coast car at $X,XXX over MSRP. I was given its spec sheet. I did think very long and hard on it but after countless hours on the internet I concluded that it was too light.

It does . Unfortunately for us audiofools the preamplifier is usually not the most expensive component in a system.

So much love for Mexico Blue. Congrats, and enjoy!

(And +1 to the Voodoo Blue comment above. Also a personal favorite, just like Mexico Blue.)

I was at the factory last week and saw a Mexican blue GT3 sitting in the completion area. I wouldn't think there would be a lot being built at the same time frame so I wonder if this was yours.

I have about $500k invested in my 2 channel home audio system. At that level, things like that expensive pre matter, especially when it is voiced with the XS mono block amps which I use. Think, close your eyes and the musicians are live and enveloping you in your space. Discussion for a different type of forum.
