So are you maintaining that OTD is before tax?No sir.
My price has always been 58. The people on this forum assumed “OTD” meant 54 and i told then no, that it was 58k plus tax and tags. Over and over again.

No. I have stated 58K every time I have referred to the price. And have clarified a few times that I should have stated "plus tax and tags" (which is what most dealers (in the wild) will say. But a few forum goers insist on their own logic, and they are entitled to their opinion. And that's fine. I don't really care about that.
What I do find interesting, Is that a few continue to harp on whether my price include tax and tags, but the GT500, with its crazy pricing breakdown, is no problemo.. *(below is not including tax and tags)
Let see, lets option one out to the bare minumum -
+70300 base price
+1095 D&D
+2600 gas guzzler
+3000 the basic tech pack 67T
+1375 Just to get vinyl stripes.. When I bought my 08, these were included I believe. So you can add that right in to the bottom line.
and 10 k for painted stripes. Which is even expensive by supercar standards. That's pretty ridiculous.
base seats
$78,370 (plus tax and tags) for a pretty lean and mean GT500 without all the foofy useless options like the $18500 carbon fiber pack. or the cosmetic but useless $1000 carbon fiber interior trim pack. Lets not even take the Recaros @ 1595, to keep the price down.
$78,370 (Its important to note that many dealers will not even let you order a GT500 that is optioned with this few options) So Good luck finding one, or being permitted to put your order through in this fassion.
10k dealer markup -(And this in on the low end. many dealers are asking for more now )
$88,370.00 OTD plus tax and tags (and you will lose that 10 k the minute you drive off the lot).
So comparing that to my RedEye, which come pretty well equipped in base form, its ROUGHLY 20k more before you factor in the markups.
and then ROUGHLY 30k more (and up) after the ridiculous Dealer markups.. (BTW - IMO, If you are paying 1k in markup on this GT500, ( you are paying TOO Much) Don't listen to the BS.
So in the real world, not going crazy with the options, you're looking at about a 30k difference between the two. The delta being about the amount of money it takes right now, to buy a used 07-10 GT500 with low miles.
This roughly 20-30k is an enormous amount of money to someone actually buying the car on a working person's salary. If you are Old and Rich, have an inheritance, or your parents are buying it for you then, this conversation is irrelevant and does not apply to you.
This thread is certainly entertaining.
Ill repeat it again that i never deviated from the 58k price i originally stated i paid for the car. The OTD price did not include tax and tags and i clarified that once i realized certain people in the thread were making up there own numbers like “54”. Once i clarified that my Price did not include tax and tags, that should have been it. But this keeps going around and around like im trying to pull some kind of mis information campaign. Even after its been clarified many many times In this thread. people are even quoting me above where i said, plus tax and tags. So ill just keep restating it over and over and over. It was 58k plus tax and tags
There are certain members on here (hilariously) just trying to draw your attention away from The original topic, That fact that anyone can infact buy 10.2 second capable redeyes for 58k (plus tax and tags) . Its not that hard to do. You just need to be a bit patient and strategic with the order form, and find a deal combined with dealer incentives. There is one right now, brand new, near me for 61. thats a good starting point. Thats still a great deal.
the 2020 GT500 is considerably more At $$90K. anyway you slice it, it proposes a Vastly inferior “bang for the buck” proposition compared to the Redeye’s price after incentives. The Gt500 is not going to be the better car for everyone, and it certainly was not for me. Not even close.
And someone mentioned i am jealous. I assure you i am not jealous. I was about to make a huge mistake and spend 90k on an overpriced and marked up GT500 from a dealer that wanted to gouge me. bigger payments and a slower 1/4 mile. And i have no doubt that my GT500 would have Been regularly beaten by a car that i could have gotten for 30 k less. I enjoy the Redeye immensely and i know i made the right decision for myself. So much infact, that i came here to spread the word!
and who cares about street tires?!? No one uses them! If you do, youre going to get whooped on by all the DR’d Redeyes.
i know 95 percent of you will never switch. But if one of you even considers it, ive done my duty. To inform you of the vastly superior deal over at Dodge with the Redeye.
My Personal reasons.
-Ability to carry 5 people
-Better instrument cluster and tech On the 2019 redeye.
-feels more like a muscle car.
-way better sounding exhaust and supecharger. The GT500 sounds like pooh.and you cant hear the supercharger.
-better look- the Challengers Have more of a classic muscle car look than the gt500. Especially with headlight from a 2017 mustang GT. Its the first thing you see. Its as if they (the Ford execs) Took a project that was on hold from 3 years ago, dusted it off after a long hiatus and said,
“we should come out with that GT500. Most of the R&D was already done! It will make the new Mustang E a less bitter pill to swallow for everyone.. and lets not bother retooling the lights or front facia... just leave it as is and we can save a few bucks and get it out faster with the old 2017 headlights!! And we will use some ridiculous excuse about the carbon fiber in the front of the car needeing it.”
Oh and lets not forget the ”Golden ticket” to make it feel like you have won something from Willy Wonkas factory , to distract you while you spend your 100k on a supercharged mustang with the 2017 headlights.
So, what are the discounts,.......16K in discounts? Is it one discount or multiple discounts. Most of those discounts don't even apply to most people I bet. I may be wring, but that's how they "catch you".
Just curious about the discounts.
And no warranry if anything breaks while drag racing, unlike the Demon.
With that said, it’s hard to measure the true potential of a 700+HP car on street tires. So yeah, “stock with DRs” is a classification.
My car is still under FCA extended warranty, and if anything broke I would remind them of their multiple ad campaigns with cars doing rolling burnouts through the streets.
You feeling ok? LolNo comment.
Pretty much based on the reported posts by OP. I'm great.You feeling ok? Lol
LOL- The only thing im “maintaining” is that I said the car cost 58k. And then clarified over and over that it was (plus tax and tags). And that has been restated over and over. The redirection tactics of what “OTD” means are thanks to forum goers attempting to derail the topic. I have ruffled alot of feathers with simply stating the truth, and im not suprised, since the GT500 is so overpriced!So are you maintaining that OTD is before tax?
Debating...If this isn't Smackdown worthy, what is? If not you 03cobra#694, then who? If not now, then when?

Math wasnt his friend growing up.Again, explain how the GT500 is overpriced. The one you put together has the same MSRP as a HCRE. They will both perform similarly on the drag strip, but the GT500 will also be able to turn left and right. So a car that has a similar MSRP but has overall better performance is somehow overpriced? Your logic sucks.
