As a suggestion you may want to carefully compare the recently released RENNtech product with Lucas’ offering.

OPUS was the RENNtech Germany store before COVID. I don’t know if they are currently collaberating or not.

Both companies provide high quality products so pricing, VAT tax and logistics for shipping or an install will be significant factors.

The information on the RENNtech site says that a 12hp gain is possible with their downpipe/cat install.

This is a great topic to continue here to assist any Black owners considering the upgrade.

Doc:

Just my opinion, but as you can see below, the last 3 auctions have been nearly the same when the sales/auction commission is included.
  • 7/22 Mecum $430k plus commission or $473k (10%) Harrisburg Gray
  • 8/19 Mecum $430k plus commission or $473k (10%) Blk
  • 9/6 BAT $470 plus $5k commission or $475k Orange
As you know these sales are $125k plus over MSRP. So, I’m guessing that speculators are taking their money and moving on.

It’s difficult to say where the GTBS market is heading but there are only 5 new BS remaining and about 31 “Flip” cars for sale.

The trend seems to show 1-2 sales/ week as more dealers are taking their albeit smaller profit and getting out. Most of these cars are floor planned so, the dealer has to make some very large payments every month if he doesn’t sell soon.

Can't fathom that anything is wrong with it. Are there really replacement body parts available for these?

Saw the first BS sub 600k on auto trader in Canada.

We dip a little more this winter and I’m in - need to get back on the track after the GTR Pro left.

Yes, I remember the conditions being quite damp/ wet in areas. I wonder if they will release the new record time? Can you share some details of the record run?

Thanks

Supply and demand. Some people don't mind paying the extra freight. Unless we revert to price controls (we haven't had them since the Nixon Administration), dealers are free to be pigs. Oil companies are doing that right now, along with a lot of other businesses.

Scott I understand but the fact that they are scumbag enough to even post a price like that tells you something about the dealership... Of course, no one is forcing anyone to buy it so hopefully it will remain in the showroom as a dust collector as anyone looking for a GT BS can find one at a way more competitive price..

Happy to see the AMG GT Black command a premium and hopefully hold and appreciate in value. The performance topples nearly all the exotics but seems to command very little respect in that arena.

I think it's because most magazine articles said it was a very competitive track car on long tracks but a very uncompromising road car where most will be driven.
Ring times are not important to the majority of people who buy these cars except for bragging rights and now another Merc. has filled that slot.

That price is absurdly unrealistic, and does not reflect the actual market sentiment, as the GT BS is already retailing in the $430s, a year after prices were in the $600s.
