no doubt, a white or white pearl would look great. You could always buy it in whatever color and bring it over to "Unique Whips" for a paint job

 

When i was looking at the new 997, i was speaking to the dealership about having a white CGT made, they said it would be possible in about 3 months, as long as it is not paint to sample. Also there is a 25000 air frieght avaliable i believe

 

Just spoke to Porsche, we can still get a GT ordered to customer specs. It would need to be quickly though. If someone were actually interested in doing so that is! Hint, Hint!!

 

Arling: how long will you keep the car?

 

Until the Bugatti finally gets released!

 

that's fantastic news. can you do it at the same $416k pre-paint to sample price he's found on a new 05?

 

Ben, am I to assume that $416K is plus delivery and gas guzzler tax?

 

Oh, oh.....I smell a bidding war coming.

 

yep, $416k FOB from the dealership though Arling only lives 100 or so miles away and would probably come down and pick it up - or i'd give him a hard time :-) you guys on the west coast of fla, right?

 

hmm, why do you think white is not easy to take care of? i think white is one of the EASIEST colors to take care of next to silver. You can't see scratches or nicks and it always looks clean. The only thing you really see is dirt

i say to get white if you can find it for around the same price you are paying on a silver one. a white CGT would look absolutely amazing... you don't even need to photoshop it, I will garauntee it. And in the event that it comes out bad you can just give it to me, no problem

 

true, but the black rubber (weatherstripping, etc) usually seems to bleed onto white.

 

yea that's what you would have to take care of. well that and all the dirt those huge rear rubbers would kick up if arling decided to go off roading

 

but man did that photoshop look bad a## in pearl!!!

 

That is correct. We are on the West Coast of Fla. I will do anything possible price wise, but understand that the dealer moving a GT at $416K is probably trying to get rid of unspoken for inventory that is landing soon. I would say with 99% confidence that I could work a similar deal on a silver/terracotta that is in transit to me. But on a paint to sample that is being ordered from scratch long after the cutoff date?????? That is iffy. I would need more of a commintment from Arling or any other interested party to even pursue price negotiations.

 

and ben it glows!

i'll be doing more white GT PS too see how it looks...
