Enjoy the new ride man.
Well then you will be happy to know that I actually didn't pay MSRP but slightly less. Long term solid relationships sometimes pay dividends. When I said it was worth a premium, I meant over a standard RCF. Only car I ever paid over for was my 2011 GTO.

What are your initial impressions of the RCF track edition?

Don't have many yet. Driven it 15 miles. Comfortable, much like my daughters regular RCF. CCBs have a great feel with the limited driving so far. Fit and finish on the carbon is terrific. Wish there was more on the interior, as the red carbon is really cool. Sound seems like my old GSF but will put it next to my daughters RC and see if the exhaust note is any different. Will form some more ideas as i drive more. Gotta say that the car looks really cool though. Love the white and carbon contrast.

Thanks. Looking forward to your detailed impressions once you have driven it more especially once you break in the car.

Stevens Creek had charged my card 5k for 3 weeks and the salesman said the car was mine for msrp plus any port installed options. I spoke every few days with a salesman and one day the GM emailed me back and said my salesman wasn’t there anymore and he was taking the deal over. His first question to me was where I was registering the car and after multiple conversations I was told the same out of state crap as Longo. I knew what was happening but nothing I could do because I didn’t have anything in writing.
They are sister stores and both of them have since added 20k plus to msrp.

Pretty frustrating deal to be honest but my local store is supposed to get 1 allocated so my fingers are crossed.
Do you think they would have pulled that crap if you had agreed on a ridiculous market adjustment ? Do you think this was strictly a greed thing or they actually didn't want to sell out of state?

Greed all the way, Dealers and car manufacturers are in the business to sell cars.

So, it looks like there is good demand for these as paying customers are being told to wait.

I do not know about demand, I'm (from what I know) one of two persons who wished to put down the deposit on the car

My understanding is I have a later built RC-F TE than Kev's

ARRRRGHH I do not have this much patience!!!

I don't think demand is all that high for the TE as most of the delivered cars have been sitting but some of that is due to dealers marking them up.
I heard from a good source cars are delayed due to a issue with the carbon fiber...I don't know what the issue is but it pushed most cars delivery dates back to mid July.
I was stuck on getting a TE and have my name on one but after having 2 Cali dealers play the markup game and also waiting for a mid summer delivery date I am losing steam and may continue to save $$$ for something better will see.

My local dealer here in NC gas one in stock and priced at $101k. They said they'd never mark them up like other dealers and told me they'd happily shop to anywhere in the USA for $101k plus shipping!
Must say, it looks STUNNING in person! Someone should hop on this!
