    I bought a GTO today. Had to give up the F458 allocation to get it, but I think it was worth the trade-off. LOL

    I didn't get to choose the spec, but I like the way it turned out. Thanks to Dan360. His driving impressions and the input he gave me via PM put me over the top as far as my purchase decision. Now the car sits at the dealer for a few weeks until the snow melts.

    I LOVE IT.

    May I ask how this came to be? Original buyer dropped out?

    I have been poking around for one that might be in a similar situation but no luck so far ..

    Yup, my home dealer. I was just below the original cut line, but high enough once it became available.

    Great choice--as noted, esp the interior combo. Congratulations! Look forward to you joining Scuderia GTO...and know once the winter moves south, you'll enjoy more than just the sunshine...

    Great spec! Have fun with this incredible work of art! What dealer did you buy it at? I would love to go take some pictures of it.

    For a car where you had no input, you did pretty bloody well. A real beauty and it is nice Lady Luck was smiling on you. I would lend you some desert, but the people in Massachusetts would probably not appreciate anything about it except the sunshine part. Especially since so far this year we have had 0.11" of precip.

    Beautiful example! I love the black wheels and carbon accents but the interior really makes this car stand out from the crowd.

    Congratulations and welcome to the club. You will not miss the 458, believe me. The GTO is such a great car and yours came out really nice. Great interior. Goes really well with the character of the GTO.

    Would love to see you join Scuderia GTO.

    Cheers,

    M

    :) Great stuff! We will have to get our two cars together for a photo shoot at some point! Mine is still in hiding following its trip to Florida.
