BaT is still a decent platform to learn, but the commenters who just stir the pot make it less likely that I would sell there. I recently listed my GT40 on Hemmings instead.

don't forget your $5000 buyer fee on top of any of the cars we are talking about.

This was in Orlando FL.
Looked like a “regular” black.

I don’t know who is going to buy it when my local Ferrari dealer can’t even move a 1 of 40 Pista Pilota at that price.

Yeah, they must REALLY not want to sell it.

Several GTBS owners have contacted Opus to obtain pricing and availability of their system in the US. Unfortnately no one to my knowledge has been successful.

Recently someone here reported that Lucas, owner of Opus had become very sick. Since then there has been virtually no information forthcoming.

In the meantime, Renntech brought out their exhaust and ECU upgrade kits.

At this point, I am not aware of any GTBS owners in the US who have installed either vendor’s products.

Even if it were,....some livery and F1 colors for >$500K more than 40 others on the market. Nope. Hell, even if it were Lewis Hamilton's discarded toy, I dont think that number is earthly.

source of what? How much the Edition 1 option was? Wait...saw your bold type.

40 was meant to be hyperbole, but there are several available - are you looking? Heres a quick search nationally that shows 30 available. This is a 10 second grab that doesn't account for auctions and private sells of course. Maybe 40 isnt that far off.

I think you incorrectly refered to the wrong model. The poster was showing what everyone assumes is the Suggested Retail Price on a MBGT P1 model NOT a E1 which I have owned.

I doubt that there are many P1’s actually in the US (41 made) and even fewer actually for sale even though recently MB decided not to sell the P1 in the US. That decision left any GTBS P1 owners with the option to sell or keep the car.

Regards

No,I get it and the rarity of the P1 edition being reserved for people who committed to purchasing a project 1 car. That said, its Livery and some color changes to interior and calipers etc. That's a giant premium for something that could be copied on the other 40 BS cars in the market. It's a great tribute to the F1 Team, and in low production, but its not clear to me that its worth a million bucks. Very very cool though..

That looks exactly like one of my Nurburgring runs (and then I woke up).

I have watched this video at least 6 times and continue to be extremely impressed with the BS performance and handling.

Thanks very much Wolfman.

Yeah, that’s where I saw or heard that opus exhaust. Seems like a must have on that car.

The passes makes the driving in the video so much more engaging (albeit much slower traffic) but shows off the cars capabilities very nicely. This was Lukas from Opus driving the car second, he didn't appear sick though (video was from 2 weeks ago).

Car sounded great with their exhaust. Here is a prior run w/o traffic...

I have been able to reach them, by email, trying to get full info before I place any order (eta for items, price, and such). Lukas said 200 cell catted d/p and ecu tune will get me to “at least” 850hp. Will update once I get all info together and hopefully place my order.
