Baby boomers are starting to hit their fiscal peak of their life. That's why the old school muscle cars are pulling in six digits and they are selling the new school muscle cars for so much, because their target audience can afford it.

At least for the first few months, until people realize they are going to keep making them as long as people keep buying.
You're right...but Freedom Ford offered me one at MSRP.

The guy saw me drive up in the Cobra and I think he was hoping he could get a trade out of it and then buy mine used

I'm sure they'll all be going for MSRP within a month or two. All new, anxiously awaited cars have done it. The C6, Terminator and Mach1 all come to mind... All their mark-ups faded into non-existence quickly.

I have a feeling the Dodge boys are going to come out and fuck everyone up w/ the new Viper.

They got their pussies hurt bad with the new Z06 and with rumors of the Corvette SS building a good bit of steam they don't want to loose again.

They have the displacement advantage and diamler-benz knows how to make FI very well.

Can you say 8.3 liter TT v-10!!!!

Hell, they should just throw in the V-12TT out of the SL65 AMG into the Viper with a manual and kick everyone's ass. Hello full torque @ 2200 rpm.
