Happy to perform and tests for interested buyers......

Bluedatura, I sent you a PM.

Thanks,

I'm guessing if you add up the parts and labor to build this car, the price is not out of line at all. Include the knowledge GMG has to get the setup right, and the price is a good deal. Plus, this is essentially a new car!

I know the car well as I've both been a client for a very long time, as well as watched the build and saw James run it on a few different occasions. I realized early on you are much better off buying either a professionally raced car or one built by a pro shop. Usually money is of little concern, and safety and reliability are top priority given what it costs to haul across the company and run a weekend, not to mention it is the company owners car. No doubt the GT2 is a monster, blows away an FIA GT3 car (GT3R, R8, etc) and has many standard cup parts, plus the long lasting H-pattern. If I didn't already have so many cars I would buy it as my club monster because of its lower operating costs than a FIA GT3 car. Somebody will be very happy with it.

How many of these other so called monsters can do this sort of speed on an oval through corners or any race track for that matter, etc. And last.

I too would buy this if I had the time to use it. Would make a great club car, and probably would be a great car to try to break the Pikes Peak record for this class of car.

I was told this car would be perfect for Pikes Peak......I don't know much about that event but I do know Turbo cars rule the land there......

I am EAST COAST all the way!! Born and raised in NY and then spent 12+ years in Boston......with a lot of family from New England.

Hey, I like the Pats when Steve Grogan was the QB, now that's loyalty!!

I apologize for being a *****. Had a rough few months. No excuse but never the less sorry.

Way to go, takes real cajones to make a public apology.
May the next few months be far better than the last.
Blessings to You and those You love!
Sincerely
Glen
