GTD allocations should be this week

[Epiphany]

There is. I believe it has been strongly recommended to them to not attempt to do that.

Ah okay. That makes sense. Is there a possibility that the dealer can mark it up?

I guess? However, as the customer has the ability to use ANY dealer in the country, so all you need to do is pick a different dealer. It's self correcting. ADM is based on supply and demand, in the case of the GTD, the dealer does not have the supply. Lots of talk and complaints about the allocation process (who and who didn't get one), but no one has complained about the delivery and pricing process.

The start of the video with the 500 and GTD basically side by side really shows how wide the GTD is. For those that haven’t seen one in person, it’s massive.

The video was pretty weak but it was interesting to hear commentary on driving the GTD and the width you mention. Hearing his sense that the GTD was pulling you vs the GT500 pushing you was something I had yet to hear.

Ive sat in and backed a GTD out of a storage building, (could not drive as PPF was not done yet). Its true, the front corners are invisible, but you know they are out there really far.

It's only 2.5" a side wider LOL...oh wait, that is wild.

I wish they would have been required to put the side lighting markers and grill markers, like a pickup truck!

I read an article as to how Ford got away with this regulation. I'll see if I can find it.

And here we are.....

I agree. About the push/pull, sounds like a load of crap to me

I’ve not watched many of his videos but he’s at least honest in the fact that he’s not a car reviewer. I don’t know if he really knows how to describe what a race car (for all intents and purposes, we’ll call the GTD a race car) feels like vs a street car that can be tracked like the GT500. I’m guessing he’s just feeling all of the aero and the tires keeping the car glued to the ground in a way he probably hasn’t experienced before.

I’ve been in a GT3RS on a track before, I’d love to be a passenger in a GTD to see what the similarities and differences in feel are.

pffft, it’s like the dark sucker theory…jet engines don’t provide thrust, just lots of vacuum

And FWIW, jet engines push. Ask me how I know.

Two rear wheel drive vehicles??? Well, can’t argue with someone’s perception I suppose, but unlikely in fact.

hey one actually being used on track

ditto…but nevermind, that wasn’t the point 🫠
