Just got awarded a 2018 GTS allocation for doing so well with the GT series in the region.

Shahul and I were debating how to configure it. He says to keep it pretty base and inexpensive - I'm thinking more of loading it up like below:

Anyone wanna take a side?

Id configure it to be a GTR.... LOL

Yeah, a stripped GTR is around same money.

I cant change it to a anything but maybe a GT base... When they allocate us a GT, I can make it a GTS, but not a GTC or GTR, those are allocated as a GTC or GTR, no DTEC available...

I wasn't sure we shouldnt make it a GT or base GTS and keep the price point down?

As a build, I like Steve's config (mostly ). It will look fantastic. However, if less optioned models are moving better off the showroom floor, then Shahul is right.

For a geezer like me 469 HP was sufficient. My entry level GT is pretty much loaded except for carbon fiber, a whale tail and the night package.

And from what I've read the GT is a rara avis, with many less being made than the other variants.

So, if it was me, I'd load up a GT and watch it sell fast.

How long do you have until you have to submit your spec?
Will you wait until then, in case someone walks in, and wants
to select their own options?

We have some time on our hands fortunately, car won't be built until mid-july. The order will lock itself a few weeks before production at which point we can no longer change it.

So yes hopefully we find someone to walk in by then

Nope, too late.. Steve won.. it locked.Lot faster than I thought

Thats the config, being built 6/28 maybe here late July.. I dont mind it landing here since EVERY single GT coupe has been sold before they ever make it to us lol.....(plus 3 of our 4 cabs) will look nice in this config, carbon fiber, night packages, love the aero pkg

^Nice spec GLWS

TY!! Hope it find a good home.. one that will let it gets some exercise.. aero package , dynamic package, perf steering wheel (I love the feel of dinamica .. lots of carbon fiber goodness

Dinamica steering wheel does have a nice tactile feel.

plus extra grippy on track with a good set of track gloves

This is what I use (black with yellow) LINK

I live near your Devon dealership, and know one of your managers there for over 25 years (in fact we were out to dinner last night with him and his wife). I was interested at one point in the used GTS you have, but I ended up finding a car with a better list of options (at least for what I am looking for). I did not think these cars sold as quickly as you implied, but I'm glad to hear you are doing well with them.

Who? Luke? The cabs oddly tough to sell.. I think most opt for the coupe (which we haven't had a 2018 coupe sit on our lot for more than a week)... I did talk a cab shopper into a SL instead.. I think it made more sense from them.
