This mess is still going? I guess I should go back through it. Any SD potential? Never had crow, is it any good?
This is true, there are the usual incentives that everyone gets, then a lot of conditional ones.
My gut tells me that your calculation of OTD price of $58k involves some fuzzy math. Perhaps it is DA adjusted as well?
And who the **** doesn't know what OTD means?
its was always stated as 58k. I should have said plus tax and tags. Ive restated that a few times.
a 58k 5 passenger car with a full warranty that does 10.2 on a DR is pretty good, which is the point of this thread.
A good option to have, compared to the overpriced GT500 which cost 90-110k, and will be lucky to do Mid 10’s. Plus you can only fit 2 and a half people in it. Which to a family guy like me, makes the new GT500 semi un useable.
Those of you taking the GT500 to a race track (not the the drag strips) can make a solid case for the GT500. It will also be good for put putn around town.
Evan smiths times i personally take with a grain of salt. I weight everyone elese’s times (hi ten low 11’s),as being more representative of what I could personally do with the car. I have tried to duplicate his times with 5.0s and never could come close, Im not doubting his credibility, just my ability to match what the master can do.
*secret squirrel pricing and not OTDa 58k*
*and on 17 inch drag wheel and with crazy DA10.2 on a DR*
Just wait til someone like yourself with experience puts a base 500 down Atco in neg DA with just a DR.its was always stated as 58k. I should have said plus tax and tags. Ive restated that a few times.

What do they run on stock rubber?
Not sure why anyone would bother going to the track without the right tires. Kinda like driving a car in the snow with summer tires
Yep, and the biggest variable once things change is driver skill, therefore stock has to be on oem tire or there is just no point in the debate.Because stock tires are the common denominator. I do a lot of road course driving, and I agree with you, but the second you change a tire you introduce variables.
You can see all the nonsense just in this thread: Well, X car would beat Y car if it had a radial. Oh, well Y car would beat X car if it had a slick... we could what if all day, but on stock tires, it is what it is and that's all there is to it.
If you change tires (or anything for that matter), all you can say is that in one specific case, one specific car, went faster than another specific car, in this specific situation, and no one can be bothered to quantify a statement that heavily.
maybe motor trend came up with $58k OTD on their dyno
You always stated $58k otd. When I questioned it and said otd costs means you paid $52/53k on the sale price you never once corrected your original statement.
You paid about $64k otd with California taxes and fees. This is much more believable and still a great price! I don’t think you can find a normal HC new for that price in ca.
Just wait til someone like yourself with experience puts a base 500 down Atco in neg DA with just a DR.
Something tells me your RE will not look superior.
It’s impressive and I love everything fast, and both represent a great value with potential for a lot more than 10.2.
Carry on.
