RE: POLL: First on the Block, or Wait for a Good Price
That's certainly a fair statement & I say kudos to Mustang for its longevity. It's high time they had some competition for those dollars people pony up (sorry...could not resist).[8D]
I have already seen an ad for significant discounting of Mustangs this year though. You know they are going to get hit by Challenger and Camaro in the next few years. They know it too.

Not to be a jerk - but Mustang was introduced to the public at the New York World's Fair on April 17, 1964 and has NEVER ceased production! Unlike it's two biggest wannabe "competitors" / challengers....
What I am referring to is the new model year 2009 Mustang, then of course you have the newly designed 2010 model on the horizon.

RE: POLL: First on the Block, or Wait for a Good Price
Of course I do...I just found your statement somewhat amusing, that's all. 
I can't wait to see what the intro of the Challenger and Camaro do to price of specialty Mustangs; more specifically the Shelby GT and Shelby GT500. In 2009 if you can get a GT500 for the same price (give or take) as an SRT-8 Challenger, I guarantee that takes a huge chunk out of potential Challenger buyers! Which means more units available for us...at a reasonable price! Dontcha just love competition? God Bless America!!! That might just be wishful thinking however because I don't see any let-up in sight for the $10-$20k markups the stealerships are STILL getting for the GT500s! I was on ebay yesterday and saw an `07 GT500 convertible going for $56k+! WTF???

I would hope that you would think I was a little smarter than that.

One thing is for certain, it's good to be a car guy nowadays. There's a bunch of good, fast cars out or coming very soon, not just from the US but from Germany and Japan too.

Yep, and I agree except I think we may not see but 3 years of muscle cars wars.
History sure does repeat itself.

RE: POLL: First on the Block, or Wait for a Good Price
Kind of what I've been pondering as well. I am thinking just by the nature of economics and such that the bulk of support for the new muscle car era will likely be 3 to 5 years. Nothing to base it on other than just a gut feel and historic observation. Insurance costs, fuel prices, government meddling, the pending "go green" initiatives and general state of the economy will probably cut things short is my guess. Leads me to question whether one outta get while the gettin' is hot, or wait for things to really die down?

I will plan to get a 2009 model either next Christmas or a 2010 model. I think the 2010 will be an LY chassis.
If I suspect the economy is going good I will get a 2010. I am hoping that another
special edition will come out that will catch my eye.
Kind of like the GT500KR, Shelby, etc..

As far as the poll is concerned......I don't mean to be rude, but..............................some people have too much time on their hands.
