OG, here is my XC sled. I just picked up a Madone last year in an attempt to add more miles.

The madone is incredible and I love the Ellsworth! I asked Greg Lemond in September if the madone was the best bike in the Trek line up and he said his carbon fiber is a bit better than what Trek uses. He says his is the best CF in the world. But we had a few beers by then and I guess he would say his bikes are better than the parent company.

Straying back towards the subject at hand (not that I've got anything against bicycles), I asked a sales manager at my dealer today about placing a deposit on the next gen GT3 and got a vague response about how they might possibly not be available at MSRP. Without divulging any trade secrets, may I ask; are those of you with deposits placed expecting/hoping/assuming that your cars will be sold to you at sticker?

Is it just a So. Cal. thing? Should I be calling out of state dealers? This is the same dealer (but my sales guy is currently on hiatus) from whom I recently bought (at full MSRP) a well-appointed C2S. I was expecting a little love, but can't say I'm feeling it yet.....

Rule of thumb...don't believe anything your dealer says. And yes most of us got our cars at sticker.

The factory Pratt & Miller C6Rs (with 7.0 liter motors) run in the GT1 class (as they have for years). LG has entered the GT2 class this year with a Riley car based on a standard C6.

It's on Speed Saturday and Sunday (in hi-def )...can't wait. F1 and Sebring in the same weekend. GT2 in ALMS should be fun this year between the Porsches, Ferraris, Corvette, Viper, Ford GT, Aston DBRS 9 and Panoz...

lol I clean it after I ride like you clean your car after the track, but that shot was when she was a dirt virgin. I’ve had it for 3 years no issues & I’m 220# & with a 700# spring on the rear it climbs like a HT. Supposedly they fixed the Truth but I’d be pissed & the way the whole thing was handled by the owner reminded me of a Porsche vendor… We need to have RL ride.

GT3 content:

997 version 2.0 3.6 with DI
998 version 1.0 3.8
998 version 2.0 PDK

Have to spread out the improvements for marketing purposes.

irish guitar- you should absolutely go out of state, especially out of area. Phone call bills are much cheaper than markups! I bought my GT3 and RS from out of state fyi.
