The Mustang, stripped down, sells at 25k. The days of V8 performance under 25k is over. Times change, and inflation is moving foward. I expect the Camaro to come in, with a 330hp 5.3 in either 6spd auto or 6spd manual to be around 26k. Most people when they buy the hi-po car, want the extra goodies. Not EVERONE who buys a car wants to buy it for racing. If you want to race it, thats why man invented modification, and therefor the reason why we are here. I know I want race-like additions, but I dont expect to spend little to get it. I figured a Camaro Z28, loaded as i want, is deffinatly going to be approaching 30k, and fast. Thats almost twice what my father paid in 1987, and that was more then 4 times as much as his father paid for his 72. If I can get a 400hp, 2+2 coupe, aggressive style and modern options with modern appointments for around 30k, I will be more then happy to hand over my hard earned money.
On a lighter note, here is a picture I put together. Some of you have seen it, but most have not...
enjoy.
