Next poll: Do you vote in polls for cars you didn't really intend on buying in the first place?

- Yes
- No
I will edit for that.

I'm looking at challenger t/a 6 speed cars now. Cloth seats, lighter than the mustang, more comfortable, 392 cubic inches, 500/500 at the tires with a cam and headers......




50 grand.

I have my Twister Orange CF ordered up at MSRP. Also putting in a 2nd order for the base just incase the dealer does not get a shot at one. Can not wait for the orders to hit Ford to get the ball rolling.

Out due to timing and slight price concerns...the way I have my order setup would be pushing 100k, nuts for a mustang.

Can't see 100k for this car. I'll probably step a little higher and go 911 or AMG GT when their refreshes hit the lots in another 6 months

I’d be torn between a nice 997.2 GTS and the 500. A local place has a sweet 911 4 GTS with 6 speed for sale right now for 80k or so. I’m done with economics on this thread and will shut my trap, but as an engineer I deal with facts and trends and predictions, by analyzing past events. History does indeed repeat itself.

Yeah, I'd like to see some sources that show the Challenger T/A is __lighter__ than the Mustang. Here's one I found for the T/A:

https://autoweek.com/article/car-reviews/2017-dodge-challenger-t-392-review-definition-modern-muscle


Here's the summary:

4,239 lbs with some additional equipment (car tested had leather, heated, automatic seats)

I guess my $0.02, in general, when talking about a Challenger, I don't think I'd make weight one of the key purchasing factors ...

... but a person would when buying a 4300lb gt500...

what I'm getting at is the ancient lx (?) dodge platform can compete on weight at 1/2 the cost.

In, CFTP for $25k under MSRP, guaranteed Golden Ticket Holder. and Guaranteed 2021 Allocation for the Manual optioned GT500

Sold my 9 second pumpgas street legal Demon and my ZL1 1LE Deathstar Track weapon to make room.

I will fly back from Ibiza, private jet -as always- to take delivery of the car , personally from Carroll Shelbys Daughters.

I debated NOT buying the car, because there is nothing unique or exotic about it, a base GT with vmp would be a much smarter choice for a man of my status, however, i cant get the color i want on a base mustang.
