Default RE: Shifting gears to another car

as much as i want to stay driving a mopar, as ive said before, im not willing to pay 10 thousand more to go a second slower...i drive a stratus RT, so im obviously not a "bang for the buck" person, but at some point common sense steps in...if they price the challenger at 45-50 grand, all youre going to get is more "viper driver-like owners"...middle aged yuppies with khakis and golf shirts at the track, struggling their way down the track in the mid 13s...there is a reason why the mustangs are "the cars to beat" at the track...theyre priced reasonably, so that people who are actually going to modify them, and who know how to drive them will buy them...not these guys who have driven a minivan for the last ten years, and since they finally got caught banging their secretary and the wife left with the minivan, theyll buy some crappy econocar for a DD, and buy a 'new challenger' to take to shows and the track, and all he will do is give the mustang owners some bragging rights on MF:

"my 260hp new edge GT beat a big bad 425hp challenger"...
