When the frenzy dies and people move on to the next "limited edition" car, it's gonna be painful for those that paid way over sticker. A carrera GT is at least special as a one off. 4.0? Plain old GT3 with a hot engine.....
What's a Metzger? Ha ha. You deserved that.

FWIW, I had similar concerns about value which is why I passed on my allocation. Who's stupid now?

I want to be stupid secretcollector in my next life. I deserve it.

I'm stupid twice, I sold too cheap full well knowing that 4.0's will never be at this price level again unless you crash them/drive the **** out of then and even then I'm not so sure. I really tried hard not to sell and its gone.

It's only a matter of time before you are proven wrong.

If you want to discuss yours, please call me at 248-388-1188 or email me at michaelkelter1@mac.com. Please do not PM me as I rarely check those. I also won't reply through this thread in order to maintain the appropriate confidentiality.

Thanks all,

Michael
WTF wow 1 or 2 more at 80-100k over msrp hmm...you are not helping my hope of picking one up one day with low low miles up at a reasonable cost.
Curious about your collection....for sure and near Detroit of all places....
