By Bassem Girgis

If you're a fan of the Ford Mustang, then you will absolutely love the Richard Petty Edition Mustang; however, you may not love its price tag.

I don't have an issue with R. Petty heck I still have those STP stickers from the 1970's but my problem is with this Mustang because he never had anything to do with any Mustang ever. He drove for Mopar and only switched to Ford because he knew the Boss 429 was going to beat every car then it was banned and he jumped back to Mopar. So his team now is using a Ford so what its not a Mustang so what you think you can put your famous name on a car and its going to sell, nope and especially when you price it way above not only the Roush Mustang but even the Shelby too. There are plenty of Mustangs to choose from so stick with the Mopar and build a special Challenger that Mopar fans will come in groves and buy it, but they're not going to buy a $100k car. I can't the Camaro but I actually like the shape of the Challenger and Dodge still hasn't done the potential this car can do and sorry the Hellcat is not it because now days a car the can do autocross and road course is more desired then the 1/4 mile and the Challenger's suspension is still the weak point. It they could drop about 300-400lbs off the Challenger and install a suspension that is similar to the GT350 the Challenger would not only be a great car to drive it would increase sales
