Good for you.Its yet to be seen but speculated that the new Camaro will go through basically the same thing. I think not and here is why. Chevrolet has the Corvette and Dodge and Ford dont have an equilavent. 2008 Corvettes can be had every single day of the week for 39,995. GM is not going to let the Camaro out perform the vette and they have to keep the price in check as well.
Now, I know GM dealers are just as greedy as Ford dealers and no doubt some of them will try to bump the price up ect......... The informed buyer will tell those dealers to go fly a kite and walk out laughing. There will be a handful that get screwed.
I hate to beat a dead horse but the real price that people are paying for Mustangs now a days are creaping into Corvette territory and there is just no comparison between the two cars. Special edition or not Ford is driving me away because the product is not worth the price (at least to me) and the performance numbers just dont justify the extra cost. I love the Bullitt but no way is it worth 39K. With the SGT, Bullitt and some others approaching this kind of price its hard not to look at a Corvette.
Im a tight wad and would consider giving them 500 over invoice but thats it. That goes for any so called special edition stang. At the end of the day its just a car and Ford needs to move them. While I look forward to seeing a new Mach 1 I shudder at the thought of the ADM's and all of the other bs that comes with it. I long for the day of a cheap stripped down LX mustang that is light, powerful, has no bling to it and can be modified easily. Where have those days gone?

These cars can be modded VERY easily. I think the S197s have revitalized the mustang aftermarket. The MACH1 will get Adms, as will the camaro and every other hyped car. I got my bullitt for $29k... I'm sure it's worth every penny. At $39k, I'd be looking at a different car, but I love mustangs and will spend what I think the car is worth. Is the GT500 worth the adms...? IMHO... no, they are not. But, they are worth every penny of their MSRP. I love them, but no way will I pay that much for them. I'll hold out judgement for the camaro... a car I like.... but from the new pics of the production version... I'm not liking it.

But unfortunately, the Bullitt or regular Mustang GT is as close as you're going to get to the stripped down days of the old LX's minus the cheap price tag. A new Mustang GT is triple the price today versus what I used to pay back in the good old days.
