Didn't Ford also do something similar with the new GT? They wanted people with highly visible social media accounts and such. Seems stupid to me as like you I am private about my personal life, but such is the day and age we live in.

No, it's not normal.

Obviously, the sales manager feels empowered to set himself up on a high moral perch from where he can judge the fitness of his GT customers. And kissing his ### may be part of the adoration he requires. So, look for that next.

He wouldn't dare pull that stunt on a Cayenne customer.

Sometimes, when people get so full of themselves, for their own good (and yours), in so many words, they need to be told to stick it.

Can you imagine? LOL
I don't think I've ever seen a Cayenne or Macan off-road. OK, maybe on a dirt road, but they washed it right away.

LMAO if the sale manager thinks this car is anywhere close to a Ford GT, I don't know what he's been smoking that day.

After getting all excited but then ultimately disappointed with the 991.1:

https://rennlist.com/forums/991-gt3-...2fs183709.html

I figured I might as well custom order exactly what I want as a 2018, and wait it out. I know I am way late to the party, but I also understand that there are some free allocations that have recently popped up? If anyone has any leads (at MSRP), please PM me.

Ummm, I'm sorry...wut? How have you come to the understanding that some free allocations have recently popped up, and/or at MSRP?

Free allocations = yes

At MSRP? = not so much

so too late to be part of the 81%?

Sounds like those free allocations that remain are still free for a reason!

well, I can't give you a definitive answer but $10k- $20k over MSRP slots are available. To the right local, I wouldn't be shocked to find an unspoken for MSRP slot somewhere.

FWIW, at the last DE I was at there were TWO Macan's in the beginner group!!

I was wondering if the "two wheels off" rule applied to them.
