I wonder if the sky high prices of the GT500 is putting some people off? I know that it is the case with me. IMO, Ford needs a reasonably priced intermediate model between the GT and GT500. Plus, with the threat of a new Challenger and Camaro coming to market soon, maybe some buyers are waiting to have more than one choice. The Charger may have taken away some buyers. |

I now you shouldn't HAVE to spend extra money on a brand new car... BUT... a $400 aftermarket tuner, like an SCT X-Cal2 from one of the better shops, will VASTLY IMPROVE throttle lag and shift problems... And for a few more dollars i'm thinking putting a couple of resonators in would help your drone problem.... Like I said, perhaps you shouldn't have to pay to "fix" these things but they certainly aren't insurmountable... |

I seen people report 20-30 rwhp more from just a custom tune. Not a bad return for a $300-$400 cost. |

Well you know it will probably have at least a 400 hp N/A V-8 which is a very good start. If it looks anywhere close to the one I saw at the DC Auto Show last year it will be a home run for D-C. Plus, I can see the marketing now... Challenger with a Hemi. Then, if they are smart, a Hemi Cuda will appear. > Alcohol, Tobacco, & Firearms should be aisles in a > convenience store; not a Government agency! |
