as a fellow MD who is not as fast can we go half on this?! Haha

I assume like me you have branched out of medicine somewhat. Congrats on the awesome rides. I am obsessed with the GTR as well. Still may get one.

Anyone have good video of Hamilton taking Bolt for hot laps in a GT R at the COTA F1?

I saw them go by but sadly no video. Also didn’t see it on the screen at the track. Maybe Bolt tried with his iPhone? Lol. Would be fun to see it.

Well my car is one of these effected cars, but parts came today and car is finally ready and I take position tomorrow. See video of damaged aero. Mark

That vette lap was rough. Not Christian’s (?) best driving at all. GTR did look easier to throw into corners.

After 4 months of waiting for VPC release, picked her up this weekend. This thing is a beast - can't wait to break her in. Definitely makes more power than advertised!

+1!! Gorgeous car.

Driving review when you have time, especially the on street ride; handling; NVH, etc.

TIA,

Excellent GT R.

Is it hard to get an allocation for the GT R Black Series.

Was going to the dealer later today and perhaps order a 4x4 but wondering about the Black Series. Own an S550 had a few AMG's CL65 G63 but never thought about a track AMG assume all the Hyper car slots are gone - Fast MD congrats!

It hasn’t been officially announced so hard to say. I’m on the list but not hopeful considering I’m sure it will go to high bidder. Only few dealers will get them. Hard to imagine what more they can do over the GT-R which is already an absolutely incredible machine.

How hard is it to get a GT-R slot (not black series)?? Walk in and pay, or hoops to jump through??
