Did your friend know that you were going for this car. Time to change friends?
No, the GM gave it to one of his friends and lied and said they never got the allocation they promised me... that GM got canned, but given that this happened after allocations dropped, it made the search exponentially more difficult for me, they screwed me over last minute... still not over it tbh

We need these videos to be done by people who have nothing to gain or lose from the company that is being reviewed.

Motoman is the kind of guy that would spec a sunroof on a GT car if it was (still) offered.

or people who know the reason for the lower top speed is shorter gearing, not CD ....

I did the math and it’s actually electronically limited at 300kph. Gearing would still allow it to go well faster than that…

He was also wrong about the Winged GT3 being 2mph slower than Touring. The real reason for that is the PDK is slower than Manual and Touring comes with manual standard (pdk free option) and Wing comes with pdk (manual free option).

Pretty common unfortunately.

Deposits don't mean anything unfortunately. Had a deal for a Roughroads Dakar out in Cali with money on the books, signed sales order and all no trades or stipulations except 50k over with roofs rack and Dakar accessories 315k deal. They somehow caught wind of my GT4RS and essentially threw a fit when I wouldn't trade the 4RS to them. They just sent my money back and said they wanted to go a different direction. I just giggled and still gave the broker $ for his time as he was even confused on their actions.

yep and I signed a Special Order Contract, and at the end of the day, there was nothing I could do.

They didn’t even have the decency to refund my deposit until I demanded it… but when one door closes, another often opens, and I’m in much better hands now; some amazing people.
