You are not making any sense.

Soooo your argument isn't about Modified vs Stock Performance... Its you hate Mopar and think thr Demon is a waste of money?

Well they only made a handful of Demons and sold them for one year. It's a rare novelty car with tons of just cool marketing and trinkets - like thr crate. The everyman can now buy a Redeye or 1320.

Dodge is doing thr best they can given their situation and I applaud them for that. They struggled for resources to put out the new Ram, and they haven't had money to update the LX Platform. They'd LOVE to build a 3500lb more sports car nimble Challenger, they just don't have the capital.

My only gripe with them is the lack of effort in beefing up the internals on the 5.7 and 6.4 short blocks. Thats the real problem Fords short blocks sucked all the way up to the Coyote and with each Yote generation got better.

GM's LS/LQ engines have continued to get better and you can grab a ho-hum 5.3 and boost it to 600whp all day. You blow apart pistons and rods on the Hemis at those power levels and that really sucks. That's a major hold back to making the RT and SCAT anything but a cruiser or "should have just bought a Hellcat".

LOL This pretty much sums up this entire thread

i hear ya, the badge/ego goes a long way in buying things. I think we are local, im familair with the hunt valley horsepower group as well. And same thing, i have racercars, but to buy a nice big new house, i had to sell all my shit, and start over, so your doing it right. now i want a weekend car that has a backseat for the same reason as you.

From VA-NY, every dealer has told me 20-30k over. im offering 5+ other incentives, at this point id take even 10k, if its the true 1st allocation.
but to me, the ONLY reason 350/500 is on the table is because it absolutely cannot be replicated for less $ ( + a small amount of the styling).

tons of friends are "bro, just get a GT and mod it". but thats not happening, the combination this car has is unique

For the money the GT500 will be a stellar performer. I’d gladly take a GT350R if I had the time to do track days again. I work a lot as it is and far from home so my free time is dedicated to my family. I’m turning 33 this year, I have plenty of time to get into track running again later on haha.

For me it’ll come down to pricing between widebody Redeye hellcat and GT500 in the next year or so. Ideally I’d like to toss 20K down on something and finance no more then 60K but that may not be a reasonable expectation so we’ll see.

Im familiar with Dave Ramsey. Im just not willing to live in poverty for 3-5 years to make it happen LOL.

Also...$90k is a great salary for a young guy like you so congrats.

Thanks, about $40-50 net is from salary, the rest is side work from hired hand and handyman to flipping cars and start up stuff. Freelance demo and clean up jobs are excellent if you have some tools, and a trailer. Construction material delivery is also also. I will buy a used box truck this summer to keep at it. Started a small custom furniture bus as well. Merica.

Try a boot camp month to pay off a small $500-2000 debt hardcore and fast. You can toe into a Dave Ramsey approach to see if your mentally fortified enough. I did a $800 credit card debt and switched cold turkey from living on $4k with $25-50 a day frivolous spending to home cook/don’t spend and from there went full retard. I’ve paid off a lot in about 3 years.

I feel a lot more like a man now. I was kind of a softie and used to need a few comforts everyday, now a cold shower or 20hr day invigorates me. I like knowing I’m well on my way to being an everyday debt free success without the college degree or flock to liberalism and big city manipulations of honest work for honest pay. I’d love to start a family before 35 semi retired with passive income and time to raise my children. 30 now and hard at it.

Damn 2020 gt500 pops up and I have to ply myself from a big buy.... damn you ford.

I pay 200K in taxes/year (would be more if I didn't max the retirement SEP)
Quarterly payments suck, but then again I'm used to it. I've had no debt for 10 years and have a decent retirement (had, until I put a large chunk into digital assets). Not bad for starting at 6/hr out of high school and no education.
I still struggle wanting to pay 90K for this GT500, but probably will.

40k additonal price tag+5k in interest or 10k in aftermarket parts, and continue to be smart and keep some money on the side to handle any out of warranty issues. 9s isnt hard, throw a whipple, some fuel, tune it, and tires. bang, done

So buy a $40k mustang, spend $10-15k, get your 9s and resale for $25k after 2-3 years for a $25-$30k loss. Or buy a $90k demon, run 9s, race it for 2-3 years, and sell it for $95k $110k. Btw, there are people doing this. Selling after 2k-8k miles and still getting more than what they initially pay.

Holy Crap. You sir, have disposable income.

Consider $90k for a GT500 a much better way to spend half of that yearly tax burden LOL. The sales tax on $90k would be almost $8k where I live, so you'll even get a tax break! Haha

Unless I wrote it off as a business purchase, I'd pay additional taxes for the car, in which just gets added to the pile, no benefit.

This year we had a change in tax law for the state, with a max taxable write off of 20k. That means, anything after that, pay taxes on taxes. It's a load of shit.
I pay nearly 20k on just property taxes and registrations. So I'll be paying taxes on the taxes I pay after that 20k... which is a lot more.

I know that feeling, currently about 14k in property taxes between our home and a condo we own. Getting ready to do an in law suit and garage build on the main home so I’m sure that’ll add to the taxes lol.

Thankfully that’s still small time compared to what it seems over all you get hit for.

Like what? We're not talking about a 370Z vs GTR. Nothing on either car can't be replicated by using a GT. You may not have a stupid DCT or 5.2, but all other metrics will be matched. Your not realistically converting a Z34 into an Awd supercar.

so i can order the GT with the 5.2 FPC and CF package?
i can order a GT with a 5.2 s/c and dct?
I can order a 350 with the 5.2 cpc s/c and dct?

can i do it all aftermarket for less than dealer new? If not, i rest my case

The transformation is complete. The BS meter is pegged. We now know how much money everyone makes and their tax liability. Bunch of Warren Buffetts in here. Gotta love the internet.

Same, but add 1".

My girlfriend catches butterflies and I breed salamanders, we pay 300k in tax/year

The funny thing is you guys are joking about how much tax you pay, the company I and partners operate seriously paid more in taxes than it paid me in executive salary by choice. Reinvest to grow is how to generate value. I don’t have control over property or sales tax, and being in a big blue city, both are a joke on a couple million of revenue. Whatever profit margin comes up we reinvest continuously to level up the site. Equipment isn’t cheap but it leads to growth.

You grow a site for 3-5 years and then take profits. It’s the opposite of how an Uber or lift driver or an arbnb with “business owner” does things, by its why 5 years later they still drive used Hyundai, and rare smart startup guy is driving Lamborghini with everyone saying he’s lucky.

But in all seriousness, I actually observe deer and paid $301,000 last year in tax, and my dick is actual twice the size I claim before because I knew you would make comparison. I quoted before the size before viagra.
