Does anyone here know or venture to guess why the Sapphire has 20" wheels in the front and 21" wheels in the back? Why wouldn't they go with either 20" all around or 21" all around?

Flip the car? Not likely with that battery pack down there.

Yep, I get all that. But in terms of reconciling information reported through the VIN ... do only minimum values need to be reported?

I hate to think it, but to a manufacturer, it is quite costly to inventory multiple battery pack part numbers that only have a physical 6 kWh variance. Perhaps it is possible to get the extra 6 kWh from controls or software?

Very interesting. Perhaps they cherry picked battery packs with the 6 extra kWh and threw them into the Dreams? Which could mean that any battery pack replacements will be 112 kWh versions?

I assume you mean a new 2024 GT vs a used 2022 GT-P? A used 2022 GT-P would be a pretty rare find since I believe there are even fewer GT-P's than DE-P's produced (fact check needed here)? Stumbling on new untitled GT-P would be a unicorn. Lucid will likely give you the depreciated price on...

Sorry for the delay ... Even my loaner on the left didn't have front plates. ;)

Best way to verify power output is through VIN lookup: https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/decoder/ Locate Engine Power in kW and multiply by 1.34102 to get hp. For my GT-P, it is 1050 hp as expected.

Bump. But it looks like I'll be bringing a loaner GT ... Costa Mesa is still working on my car. :(

Rigged?? I bet Hagerty would get even more views if they "rigged" the race for the 170 to win.

Producing better times on a prepped track shows slicks at all four corners would help ... that is unless something breaks from the excessive torque.

Having a few extra bodies step out of the Sapphire after the run would have also been good too. ;)

👍 I'd be down for something like this.

The only problem is I got the jumbo set to get a better fit on the windshield sunshade. That makes the side window shades too big for my car so If I really wanted to use them, the wouldn't fit right, but they would still do the job ...

The Costco screens are actually transparent ....

Interesting reading ... even though it looks like it doesn't apply to AZ: https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/transportation/article127811959.html

I'm not sure if this matters to you or not, but ...

Even though I never use them, the ones that came with my Costco windshield sun shade only cover part of the front door windows. I'm guessing it is supposed to allow for unobstructed view of the outside mirrors?

Wow ... you must've hit a crater ... do you have any pictures of the bent wheels? At "full highway speed" my tire blew out and my wheel just had a slight ding on it which wasn't enough to warrant replacement. This was after carefully driving at least a quarter mile off the freeway too.
