Man I gotta say, you did a lot of complaining, moaning, and bitching about nothing. Of course they are going to refine it. It is a process. Of course there were going to be improvements, again its a process. You jumped off the GTD train so fast you should change your name to Usain. If you...
OP's place is going to do the absolute bare minimum. Me personally, I'm not allowing them to touch my car.
With that said, I'm not bashing ceramic coatings as I think there is some value, but paying someone thousands to apply a temporary coating is IMO a waste of money.
Keep the car clean...
10 years? Dang man, they laying liquified diamonds on the car? If you drive the car, there is zero, I mean zero chance its going to last anywhere close to ten years. Find someone honest.
Unsprung rotational masss requires a multiplier so it’s quite a bit more than 40 pounds if ten pounds per corner. You can get 20 to 24 pound flow formed wheels from Apex and others and I think a nice set of light weight wheels is one the best mods that can be done to this car.
I see no universe where someone produces a sub 3700 pound (and realistically 3800) V8 for a consumer. Higher trim levels will add more weight. A six cylinder M4 is 3800 pounds plus and cost far more than a base Mustang or base Camaro.
Single biggest factor discussed amongst my crew was the visibility. I've never been in a worse car. It was simply terrible. Calling the visibility terrible is an insult to terrible. It was whatever is worse than terrible.
They gotta fix it. If they fix that, then I'll at least consider it...
This is the crux of our disagreement. I think very very few are going to care as very very few will be at the track. It's rare, it looks great, and by all accounts is civil on the road.
I still say winning the driver experience battle is a far better achievement than having the single best lap times. Not only that they produced a very fast car which looks far better than the Corvette. Consumers don't buy rare cars because of track times, never have, and never will. At this...
Think he will let you drive it? lol. That would be cool to have someone on the forum actually speak to what it's like rather than numb nuts talking about numbers.
Those people shouldn’t unless they are actually going to fork over $400k.
Has any regular posting forum member actually bought one?
Almost everyone is an internet bench racer where the GTD is concerned. Heck, the overwhelming majority of buyers aren’t going anywhere near a track.
Something that gets glazed over constantly is that almost every reviewer, that I listened to, preferred the GTD to the corvette. Driving experience is king.
Before anyone says something about reviewers, doesn't matter, cause you ain't never going to drive one 🤣
I bought my wife a brand new 2022 Subaru Outback because that's what she wanted. The touch screen was so bad. Incredibly bad. The worst thing I've ever seen. I dumped it in less than year. Never again. Everything was routed through that head unit and it sucked.
Ferrari finally addressed the elephant in the room . Physical controls are now much more expensive than touch screens. Usability, as all of us with common sense knew, doesn't drive the trends we are seeing. Economics does...
Stuff happens, nobody is perfect. You all still dropping in here like whiny little girls. Mistakes are annoying, but as long its not repetitive then I'm ok with it. I've made my share of mistakes.
I'm surprised that actually works. My experience with big companies and their ability to do anything on time, on budget, and have the end product be useful/desirable is not a positive one. The bureaucracy is usually insurmountable.
I think going outside is usually the move as a smaller...
