Yep died in the **** for a while there, during the FPV presentation. Didn't catch all of what he said, but what I did hear didn't have any surprises. Anyone get the whole message? Anything said we didn't know already?

GT-P wheels aren't too different. But new pics show the cars much better than the Motor Mag. Looks great. Especially the foglight surround on the GT-P

Some information that should be up shortly.

Gt price $62210 auto is 1250 option

Gt-P price is $70410 auto also a 1250 option

Now I am not sure on this one but I think you can order the 6 pots brakes on GT and that probably means F6 too for $4300.

All other options look to be about the same price

Basically that they didn't know why anyone woudl order GT-P,

Specifically mentioned the wheels and the fog light surround but couldn't see much else. However also said the pictures they have aren't good.

That’s exactly what you need to do. People will say what they will accept that for what it is an opinion and move on. No need to be negative yourself and preempt it.

Set the tone and be a leader.

Regardless of the value proposition, I like the GTP so far and from the pictures it looks like the gauge pods remain.
