You're assuming a lot of things about the buying public. The public doesn't care about unsprung weight, they don't care about total weight (except in the context of fuel economy). Most SS buyers won't ever drive their cars anywhere close to the point where unsprung weight matters at all. They want big shiny wheels and an aggressive looking car with a big engine that they can brag about. If you're actually concerned about performance, you aren't going to buy one for those same reasons.

 

At the dealer here in MD they have $4000 to $5500 off (the higher amount being on more expensive cars) written on the windshields.

 

It's just sad to me that if you've got $26k and want to buy a new car with good performance, your best option is a car with a solid axle.

 

welp, scratch that.

 

Well, I figure you could get another 1-2k off that. Just how low did you think they go?

 

Just do your thing Jarrod and find every flaw on one.

 

Why did I read it as 40000 lol.

LOL. No. If I ever bought a new car, it'd be one fresh off the truck and the assholes aren't driving it.

 

Yeah, I'm definitely with you on that one..

 

I WANT a solid axle. Problem is, I want it in a mustang

 

yup.
