Clearly, these dealers are feeling confident, but I think it's going to bite them if GM and DC come out with production models of their "pony cars".



Within the next 3 months?



Well, that's true.

But I just wonder if the response to the GT500 will be as strong as dealers seem to expect if buyers know that there are those alternatives on the horizon.



Alternatives like a Magnacharged GTO?



Yeah. Be like all Joe Gibbs edition and everything and make it a blown 4.8L. You guys are also forgetting about Nissan planning to introduce its Skyline GT-R over here, as well as that scary little Hyundai V8 Coupe that's supposed to come out some time in the future. The Camaro and Challenger will do their jobs, but I'm afraid they'll be entering a market that will soon be flooded with cars like them...Which is VERY good for the consumer, by the way. This upcharging of Mustangs doesn't seem to fly very well in my particular town however... I've seen the same row of Saleen and Roush Mustangs sitting out in front of my dealorship for five months now, not to mention the huge stock of "normal" 2005 Mustangs stagnating in the storage lot. Bucking the habit, the V6 model is the most popular down here...
