You know, if this new gig goes well enough, I may just save my pennies for this as a DD.
It will be interesting to see how they price the new Mustang GT. And depending on when the new 5.0 is released (late 2010 perhaps?) I'm thinking for those in the market for these retro pony cars, the Camaro SS may be a competitive option since that model's used market will be open up after a year and unless the 5.0 is MSRP'ed at the very low $30k range (and this is without the dealer markups which may be quite high) many may opt for a used Camaro SS in the upper $20k range than what may be a mid to even upper $30k cost of a new 5.0
Nevertheless, it's a great car and a new 5.0 was long overdue. And obviously Blue Oval fans will rush to grab the first ones to roll off the line, but with the Challenger SRT8 and the Camaro SS cars popping up in used car lots in the next year or so and not to mention both have more than a liter of displacement on the 5.0, just as attractive looks (some say more so, I tend to agree), and likely a better pricing point, the new 5.0 may have a tough time selling during its initial year.
