GTD allocations should be this week

[Epiphany]

I thought about that as well, but the weight isn't official by ford.

”Normal” and right are two very different things. This …. is not just on exotics. Dealers around here try the same thing on service trucks(450-550’s). Was quoted a grand for a service on one of my 550‘s by one dealer, the other a quarter of the price. The logic(sell job) was it was a procedure to do it. Needed 3 hours to do it. The procedure is to bring the tranny up to 170-180 to check proper level and top off. Complete …. that there’s anything special about transmission services. Simply trying to fleece the customer. Took me 45 minutes without a lift. All these cars are serviceable even for those with little ability.

I know it's ridiculous. Takes me 15 min on hoist to change my oil with Pennzoil Euro synthetic 5W40 and $50. I paid for a brake flush and they just sucked fluid out of reservoir took it back and demanded a full flush....pure rip off.

Now I want a coolant vacuum method to exchange coolant......the machines are costly have to check around.

I sent an email asking to deffer until the next model year. 4400# and no resolution to the fuel issues in a $400K car.

One would think a 25ish gallon cell would be some sort of option at the lofty tally.

I know someone who asked for that and no was the word.

This could be a very dumb question so forgive me if it is. I understand that there is a no sell clause for two years just like the GT. Is there anything that says you cannot modify this car to your liking with other robust add-ons like a larger fuel cell if it fits?

Not that i know of. It's a $400k+ car. Why should anyone have to do this? Consider it has a warranty like any Ford vehicle. You mess with it, you own it.

Still think the GTD looks amazing and will definitely hold its value but almost 4400lbs is insane!

For the majority of owners weight will not be an issue. It’s just a number.

At $100 per pound of body weight it better be the best damn Ford car ever built.

I think a sub-7 minute Ring time speaks volumes to the capabilities of that car, especially at that weight

Imagine if it lost 1K pounds, like it needs to.

I think a mid 6 minute ring time would be even more impressive if they shed a quarter of that weight.

4343 lbs is insane.

That’s what I’m saying though, breaking 7 minutes at 4,300+ lbs is pretty impressive and speaks to the car (and driver obviously). If they found a way to drop 500lbs off that car, I would think 6:30-6:40 would be in the realm. Especially if the Multimatic team thinks there’s more time to shave in its current configuration…
