not at my post...
unfortunately I think Ford had a lot to do with this being that they set the price for these at astronomical levels.
the average person with a brain who isn't going to spend more money on a car payment then their mortgage (or rent) probably wont own one for a while.

and that's all before the markups that undoubtedly will prevail at most dealerships. That bullshit is finally going away on most 350s, but it has taken years.

yup. it's going to be interesting to see what price levels gm sets the new z08 or whatever the hell they're calling it now.

that's a retarded oversimplification of my argument. i see it as the poor man's bugatti which isn't an insult but rather a commentary on its achievements and limitations. I don't like late model cars. this is definitely one of those.
fixed ;)

I hope so.. My REdeye goes 10.3@133 over and over. and It was only 58k OTD.I could buy almost 2 Redeyes, for the price of a new GT500.
You bought brand new 2019 RE for ~$20K off MSRP ?

RE starts at $72K so as the 2020 GT500 . They are priced the same so they should run similar in straight line and get similar lap times

Both modified with similar parts . Why would a Demon with weight reduction and race gas be considered not modified ?

Because it’s not... it comes that way from the factory.

Yes, it’s one of a kind and for some reason Dodge is the only manufacturer with the balls to do it.

Yes, however it was during the “power dollars” promo and those rebates may have ended. I also got some dealer discounts on top of that.

That’s a great deal, but it’s hard to pick the RE over the new GT500 without the discounts.

It has race gas tune but no race gas is included , I think like 99% of them come with full seats . Removing seats and adding race gas[ no tune ] to GT500 won't be any different then the Demon

It won't beat a Demon but it will compete with the Redeye. Stock REs run 10.40s on DRs. GT500 vs Redeye would be a hell of a race.

It's crazy but 2020 GT500 might be the quickest 1/4 mile and fastest handling car when it comes to brand new cars available right now from the big 3 . Demons are gone ,Vipers are gone , C7s are gone .it's 2020 GT500 , Redeye , C8 and ZL1 Camaro

It will be a good race both cars on drag radials but I think GT500 will be quicker when both cars run 100% stock
