Default What Gas and the Economy has done to the GT500

After considering an SRT and then the HXC Cuda and now a Speedfactory Chally, it dawned on me that all I am really looking for is the biggest version, (my wallet will allow) of a current muscle car. Thus I went looking at the GT500 today. After only two calls I was able to find a dealer in Plano Texas willing to sell a white with blue stripes GT500 for $49,800+TTL.

This surprise left me thinking: How in the world is the SRT going to survive at $49,000 (after the initial run due to launch excitement). The GT500 has a far better pedigree and performance numbers not to mention 500 horsepower! I am thinking of waiting another month for this retched economy and gas situation to allow one to finally get a GT500 at or below MSRP and save a bundle over a 500 horsepower Chally. THOUGHTS?
