Hey Martin Lipp

[ronaldtrotter]

I was just watching the Barrett Jackson auction. They put the very first Corvette Carbon 2011 LS7 Z06 on sale. It sold for only $270,000. Of course for that you got to help build the engine and watch it come off the line. So Martin, when are you ordering yours?

[SDGT3]

Hahahaha, he'll take 2 if they come in YELLOW

Martin and Tom Comeau went to the same school of color design

[ronaldtrotter]

Only two colors. Some sort of Competition Orange and a Carbon Blue which is really gray. Hey Martin don't be left out.

[MR LIPP]

Only $270,000? I'll take two
Corvette has a sneaky habit of putting on $500 worth of options and charging $15,000 for some special edition. These guys buy them and actually think they are going to go up in value. I always say that a "Limited Edition" is only limited by the number of people stupid enough to buy them.
But then again, I have seen Porsche do some similar tricks with options.
Don't even get me started on the 996 GT3 $2,000 "sport exhaust" option. They just cut out the baffles

Hey, Martin. That sport exhaust without the baffles is a weight saving feature. That's why it costs so much.

Is that where the term "less is more" comes from??
