9972RS

Regular ones do not swivel

C.J. Ichiban

I have had a CGT since 2009. When the 12C came out I emailed mclaren and asked to be put on the list for the "F1 replacement" should there ever be one. That was in 2011, well before any rumblings were laid out. I was told I was the first person to request being put on the list nationally.

I was offered 918's three times for msrp in configurable spec. The P1 deposit was 120k followed by 240k. After my 360k was out the door that is when I had people asking/ telling me I should do it. I kept my CGT, bought the P1, and bought a few car dealerships instead of buying a LaFerrari and the 918.

I love the 918 WP. Really do. I made a few offers on cars second hand but was never the high bidder.

I'm turning my attention back towards dealers and have 3-5 more in the pipeline.

Thanks C.J. for answering this. I think people who overspend money on cars, watches, etc. should really read this. At lease for me, I don't regret not getting the 918 now

Thank you for the response. Very interesting.

any chance to get PTS for 911R?

I remember just black or white strictly about RS 4.0 at the beginning, after some month PTS was allowed for this car following US client pressure.

Touche. Filing that under "your results may vary...."

If they are not safe enough to stick on a plane, its not safe enough for my car..

Smart moves CJ- make sure your money is making money before you spend it. I see a lot of dealer/owners with high end cars or funding racing programs. When your athletic career is complete, you will be glad you made these decisions.

Now, back on topic- I found the radio completely worthless on my GT3 and loosing it would not be a big deal in my book. I've driven several hours using my Bose noise cancelling ear buds and it was just perfect- I could hear the car (the best part- not the road roar) and could enjoy my music. I know it's illegal in most states but it's very discrete and I don't find it is a hazard.

AC is the tuff one, the cars without it will be very, very rare- hard to sell at first but the most desired years from now. If I lived in the Midwest or East- no way, too uncomfortable. But out west where it's dry, it's just a few really warm days- but the AC works really well in my GT3....

Finally, someone said it. I say either go full halo like Audi or just get rid of the 4 dots.

Does anyone know if bluetooth phone function (not audio) works when you don't order PCM?

The dots work on the Autobahn. People know.

C.J. Ichiban

yes but all you have to do is the blinky headlight thing anyway right? or left turn signal?

PDLS and LED swivel. Far as I know LED aren't any brighter than Bi-xenon thanks to DOT regs. PDLS vs LED is down to an aesthetic IMO.

any weight differences worth mentioning ?

i'm sure there is but I bet it's de minimis.
