So in reality you would need to compare take rates on the SS vs GT vs 392 Dodges, which you will never find complete data for that anyway. So arguing it from either side is worthless.
But on a side note, you do have this...and let's be honest. There are women who like performance, but there obviously aren't as many who just like "the look" of performance.

At least for the 2015MY, the take rate for the 5.0 was almost 40%. EB sold far more than the V6 which likely explains why the dropped the 6cyl.
