Why don't GM or whoever makes this car cut the chase and make enough of those vehicles... Yes, it is very fast, but people don't have to pay a speculative 8 grand over MSRP just because the car maker artifitially limits it's production.

Replying to: kuk (May 18, 2008 12:02 pm) If there are say 40,000 people that want one in 2009, that's probably the limit to their market. Maybe another 20,000 people will become legitimately ready to purchase this car in the next decade? Not everyone in America is going to have one in their driveway, no matter how good of a performer it is. So why build 60,000 in year one and basically sell yourself out of the market instead of average 6000 a year for 10 years? And since our economy is based on growth, they have to 'ramp up' production to look like they are doing 'the same' year after year. Though I agree, they should have started with more than 1000-1500. The markups will be significant for that reason. And you already know its not GM that makes it. |

Replying to: ace47 (May 30, 2008 2:36 am) On a side note, I was in an R8 over the weekend at Pocono Raceway at our NASA Northeast HPDE and the car is fairly amazing, and I'm not an Audi fan at all. -mike |

i would really love to get a hold of one of this beauties, but i heard that to replace the breaks is going to cost $6,000 dollars since you will have to replace all discs, and if you have a problems with a tire you will have to replace all tires d/t computerized traction ajgarcia

Replying to: ajgarcia (Jun 29, 2008 8:52 pm) Rotors should be replaced in pairs on all cars. I'm not sure the rotors will cost $5000 but they might cost $1000 for rotors and pads on the GTR, not uncommon for a near super-car. -mike
