Used 2012 Mustang Gt. = about $20K + $6k for a blower = car that runs high 10's in the 1/4 for on average about $15k less with better visibility, cheaper insurance, and none of the problems of a first year car. I like the gen6 a lot but have spent a majority of my time here after the honeymoon phase of the early buyers wears off. I'm trying to see what the car is as a whole, not just performance numbers. I for one will not touch a '16 maybe not a '17 depending on how much of the little things they can get fixed.
What percentage of guys auto x their car, any brand? I'd say less than 5% nation wide. Most people generally obey the speed limit so if it's fast from A-to-B and sounds tough that's all that most average people care about. At this point I've only saw two gen6 cars on the road since the roll out. People aren't that worried about running into one with a lesser car b/c they haven't sold enough of them for many guys to have their buts handed to them buy one. Why worry about a car that you won't see except for MAYBE on the track. Buying a low option 1SS, A8 will end up being over $40k with taxes for almost everyone unless it's is a smoking deal. Blue collar people have a hard time spending that much $ for a car that's nearly a two seater.

I agree. I like the 6th Gen a lot. I just think Chevy got too ambitious with pricing. I have never taken my car to a dragstrip and will never ever put it on a closed road course, sure handling is nice but I wont be buying one to be used as a race car. Just nice to have brute force every so often to step into for kicks, shut people up or coming off ramps.
