Uhh, all Mustangs high sales months were before all the heavy discounts you've been seeing this past month or two. The summer month sales have been significantly less than earlier in the year.
Anyhow, I got my almost fully loaded GT for about 37k OTD (not the average price that's for sure but I was able to get a good deal, MSRP was 41k I think, maybe a little more). There were a couple options I didn't want due to the increase in price, BLIS, ACC and "better" speakers. Cost wasn't worth it to me, IMO GM screwed the pooch on not allowing some of these more lux items as options instead of being required. No way I could even consider getting a Camaro over a mustang at the current price points. Aside from Camaro's potential better performance, the HUD is the only thing I want that the Mustang doesn't have. Acceleration will sure be better, and track prowess has a good chance of being better than my car, however I don't expect the weight to be much different than the GT. On that point, we'll just have to wait and see what the new Camaro will weigh in at once customers get their hands on it.
But more about price, without accounting for Xplan....if you are performance minded, you can get a Base GT add some real nice C/O's and sticky tires and probably whoop a lot cars for the cost of a base SS. Granted that's not a lot of buyers but for those with a track mind that is something to consider. I think 35k would have been an ideal price point for the base SS, sure I'd want it lower but its always been a little more than the GT.
On a side note I really love the 1LE/ZL1 wheels lol, they are amazingly concave
they honestly almost make me want a camaro haha
