I had the same thing getting a Stage 3.
I drove by the lot one night and got out to look at the car and no one even bothered to come talk to me. They wanted like 8k ADM. Then my wife called them and they blew her off completely and said to come down to the dealer. So we bagged it.
Then I drove by there again about a month later and this time a guy did talk to me, but he was clearly uninterested in making any kind of realistic deal. He even told me they had another offer, but the guy wasn't returning any of their phone calls. Yeah, right! Who the heck makes an offer on a Stage 3 and then doesn't return the phone calls??? Kind of ironic the car sat there for two months, and the day before I come and make an offer they get another offer?? lol
I had previously initiated an email conversation with the dealership that wasn't really going anywhere, but they happened to reply to it a few days later, asking if I was going to ever come down and look at the car. I said I did, but you guys don't want to sell the dang thing, and then I restated the EXACT same offer. She called me almost immediately, and within the week we had the deal done. Might have been done that very day if I wasn't snowed in.
The moral I guess is don't give up if one sales agent refuses to sell. Course I realize it's a whole different ballgame on a GT500.

True in some, but not all cases. Not when a dealer local to me got one in 3 months ago, put a price of 70K on it in the showroom, and it has been collecting dust. People have made offers on the car, including myself, and have been shot down and told "nope, we want 70K" and it has not moved. My friend offered 60 for it before christmas and was shot down (he since decided on a ZO6). I guess the dealer either wants the foot traffic or is greedy. Or the GM wants it for himself unless he can sell it for 27 over??
Mind you, this same dealer chain has had a ZO6 for 10K over for 3.5-4 months and will not budge on that one either.

Sounds like the Salesmen who "would not return your calls" and lied to you, was not as good as the final Salesmen. At our shop, they would not be there after a failure like that.

Awesome thanks for sharing! First off no one in there right mind would not get one of these if they could afford it (and were not being ripped off). The GT500 is worth every penny of MSRP, that being said the regular GT is no slouch, even bone stock the GT is a great car and in the long run a better car for mods. But man that GT500 is cool
Oh and I like this car better as a coupe with or with out stripes.
