Idk... Porsche does the same ( 911 R, GT3 RS), Ford does it (Mustang GTD, Ford GT), and you don't even want to start talking about what Ferrari does to it's customers

Oh that makes it better 🤡

I know... but the car enthusiast in me wants to see cars go to other enthusiasts and not speculators. It's not an ethically or morally defensible position.

Meh. Trade offs i suppose.

I think it's alot like some performers and ticket scalpers. The performers want to tickets to go to those who are the biggest fans, not who has the biggest pockets. This is usually done through loyalty programs, and I don't really know where I stand on the ethics of controlling a product after it leaves the possession of the producer... I've got a few conflicting views.

Maybe we should make money out of depleted uranium. Every transaction is dangerous, and the larger the transaction, the more potentially fatal.

It's more like the idea of covenants. I transact to you a piece of property, but on the condition of a restricted use case. It is kind of the legal basis for wills and trusts...
