And this is a surprise to you? Vehicles are mass produced, unless they started selling mustangs for $5,000 they're never going to sell out from every dealer.

It does supprise me, and you should be asking FordBlueHeart instead of me.

When the dealership only has an inventory of 300 vehicles, and 42 mustangs, more than 12% are mustangs, and they have more mustangs than any other model.

That's right Paul. Guess I should have spelled it out better.

Same at my dealer, I think the F-series trucks only top the number of Mustangs they have.

So we are going to be able to order the car before knowing what the specs are?

That's a good point. Maybe you have to use your crystal ball when ordering before the LA show opens.

Perhaps Jeff can clarify that point

The Challenger with 6.4 will be the biggest engine ... but won't be the fastest car.
(but it is needed...and will breath some life into the SRT8)

Wow, that SRT8 is going to be an absolute beast. Despite it's shortcomings, I absolutely love the Challenger. If I was in the market for a new car, it would run a very close second behind the Mustang for me. Even with the 5.0.

Wonder if the R/T will get the 425 hp 6.1? The R/T would be well worth the money then. The competition is making the decisions harder. To me Challenger is the best looking car of the 3 and the most practical but right now performance is not = to the price.

yup, but it should be noted that that is the SRT8 motor and not the standard R/T

They'd need to do a HUGE overhaul on that interiro tho, nothing about it remotely matches the exterior look of the car.

In fact! Let's play what car has which boring lame *** interior?!?














Yawn.
