You guys don't actually STOCK that thing, do you? Seriously (I've wondered about this with other uber-rare items), if someone orders it, how quickly can you really source it? It seems kind of a dicey proposition making the assumption that you could source a CGT engine or clutch or whatever from Porsche (or wherever else) quickly and guarantee that they can get it to the buyer ASAP. If they don't deliver, it's YOUR reputation that gets beaten up - not Porsche's.

I mean, it's great that you offer it and have a direct relationship with Porsche and whatever other vendors you do, but I know if I ordered a $150,000 engine and it didn't show up because of some misunderstanding between my vendor (Pelican) and their distributor, I'd be mighty P.O.-ed at the vendor, since they said "we have it".

Just curious as to how this all works. Some of this stuff is AWFULLY expensive to have sitting around in inventory and I'd be shocked if you actually did. . .
Yea, we have six on the shelf in the warehouse ;-)

Seriously, though, it's unlikely that Porsche has any of these in their two warehouses here in the States. But we'd get it from Porsche in Germany (like we do with many of the rare parts we sell) and it would take an extra week or so to arrive.
