Good points. Challenger, Camaro, TransAm, Firebird, etc... have all dipped into the market share of the best known Pony Car - the Mustang in the past. (Notice I said best known...not best) Let's face it the Mustang is an icon that is a recognized worldwide. This is the only pony that has had sustainable sales to keep it a viable part of the Ford lineup year in and year out.

I think in the grand scheme of things Challenger buyers will find pricing reigned (after the first release excitement wears off) in precisely because Mustang is a good seller & because of new additions like Camaro to the landscape.

I think the $175k for the #2 will prove a STEAL in 10+ years.
