slim to none....most dealers will get only one (except for obviously the bigger ones)....I think many dealers, like the one I bought my Z from, will have a silent auction for a price over MSRP....my salesman said they are expecting a bid in the 50-75K range....this is a dealer in Hartford....a lot of wealthy people in CT so I don't doubt his assumptions....

Vegas and Phoenix are probably not going to be easy. You would probably have better luck in Baltimore.
CA, Vegas, Phoenix dealers are notorious as far as markup on the newest, latest/greatest, must-have, limited edition cars.
I've been on a dealer's list for well over a year, and I'm number 4 on the list at the dealer.
Your only hope will be people backing out and giving up their spot on the list, which will happen. It also depends on what you are willing to pay. You don't need to be on any list if you are not concerned about the price of admission.

My understanding is there will be 2000 of these per year produced.
You will definitely be able to get one if your willing to pay the price
Good luck!

I have had very good luck steering people to the tiny dealers that get them. Sometimes they are in towns so small that locals can't afford them. Just wait a few months after they are in production.

Be first.
Go to Barrett Jacksons in January. You can be the first civilian to own one period. But like (asian-winkie) said, hope you got real deep pockets, because I am sure it will go for well over $200k their.

If history holds true, Ron Pratte will buy it at B-J. He just paid 1/2 mill for a new Mustang with funds going to a Carroll Shelby charity.

As soon as I learned this car was going to B-J this guys named popped up in my head. If not him there will be quite a few people ready to spend 500k.
