Sure but this car doesn't exist under 7 figures. So :whocares: a Chiron is probably easier to get and doesn't require the pre purchase of 15 cayennes and gt3s to get a line on the "list"

I think it’ll be about $500-600k with whatever dealer fuckery happens. Don’t think it’ll crest 7 figures unless it’s some crazy dealer.

They direct the hot air from the radiator vents down the side of the car passed the windows. Have fun on open window track days.

We are at $150k over for these things, and already have over 50 order demands with five figure deposits.

We take money for cars we know we’ll get over the next 3 years.

We have a 400+ person wait list.

For every person who's got it made in the shade, there's always some douchebag in line in front of them.

But sounds pretty bad when they mimick the exhaust through speakers... :disgust:
Go to 10:30 for the sound
EcBROboost 'stangs blast V8 noises into the cabin when in Sport+ mode... it is pretty fun IMO. Top down, flooring it, hearing some turbo whoosh whoosh from the front and V8 roaring as you floor it through all 10 gears. I dunno, it beats silence.

:dat:

I was :disgust: just this morning to find out that these people we sort of know (went to a party at their house, friend of a friend thing) just don't work. They just have a $1.5 mill house in the nicest zip code in the state, private school life for CF, and somehow afford all of this without jobs, I guess rich parents. They're still too poor for this Porsche though.

I always think I'd work at least part time if I ever came into lotto money or something like that, but really who actually knows? If you can fuck around every day without work I'm sure it would be hard to actually commit to it. Do they at least throw a good shindig?

It was Allison's friend's 'engagement party'(isn't a wedding an engagement party? This is serious rich white person shit), these non working people held it at their house. It was indeed pretty dope, they had a hotog truck in the driveway prepaid, other foods, and a canoe full of ice and beer and shit, plus some pre mixed bourbon and tequila cocktails. All in all it wasn't really my social scene but would attend again.

Right. It's not like they are all going to Lewis Hamilton.

They don't HAVE to go to racecar drivers. Most of them probably don't give a shit and just want the most expensive thing they can get ahold of.

The secret is just to hang out in town from what I've heard, or try to get to Laguna

Probably not. Add it to the list of things Jack Reacher doesn't worry about.
