I get that you are not going to spend $325K on a Mustang and appreciate your decision as that is a lot of money for most everyone.I get its cool and rare, but no matter my finances or "clout", no fucking way im spending $325k on a Mustang. Because in the end its still a Mustang. But its is stupid they are only letting "influencers" get first dibs.
That being said, I know someone mentioned SpeedPhenom being a douchebag, and yea he kinda looks and sounds like it. But hes a good dude and means well. I was on a work trip somewhere tennessee...arkansas maybe (i travel a lot with work so i dont remember where). I needed to refuel so i hit up a gas station by the hotel one night. Im pulling in and i see this bright red Z06. I was like oh shit, thats a ZO6! This was the first one i saw on the road and again, ya he got first dibs for who he was.
So i pulled up to the pump next to him and and just causally said "nice ZO6". Him and some dude he was with both smiled and he was like, "you're the first person on this trip who knew what it was" (he was driving across the country after picking it up). I was like, ya, i knew right when i saw the spoiler. So we just talked about mustangs and vettes for about 10 minutes. Just seemed like a nice kid, didnt have an ego or brag about it. I had absolutely no idea who he was at the time but i knew he was somebody being that young with that car. I told him i had to hear it so he got in and revved it a few times and its such a beautiful sounding car. Said our goodbyes and left.
then like a month later im scrolling through instagram and i see him in a reel with the vette lol. then found his youtube page and I was like...oh shit thats why hes got a car like that. He just got a 720s too.
That being said, i hate the whole influencer thing, and sure call it jealousy, because it is lol. Ive loved, drove, and worked on cars my whole life and you just get internet famous and get whatever car you want. Bullshit lol.
Regarding your comment centered around "influencers" getting first dibs on the upcoming 2025 GTD, I am curious how you came up with that conclusion or what your source of information is?
