Just to be clear, the major reason for price hikes over the last several years is because of the tariffs on imported materials.
if we could rollback tariffs for good and go back to free trade we would see significant deflation in car prices.
Itās not gonna spin a rod bearing instantly.
Itās cumulative over mileage and rpm
talk to me when the 87 octane car has a rod knock at 130k miles and Iām going 200k plus.
People donāt understand pre ignition and hammering their bearings.
If they did theyād be scrambling to get it on 93 or even better E85
it is a 12:1 engine, on 87 octane itās basically eating itself and sensors are retarding everything from spark to cam timing to try and keep it alive.
It will...
Iām at the ranger plant, we havenāt barely began.
We are building 10-15 daily and rumor is production ramp up is pushed back to October.
Itās gonna be awhile for sure.
I donāt understand this power grid argument at all.
We all have stoves, and dryers.
Itās not going to be anymore of a problem than the current system.
itās just like using my oven for an hour or doing laundry.
I was with my friend to pick up his new gt500, same thing, no test drive or nothing. And he spent over 100k.
I think they just expect someone buying a new car would think it drives like any other new car.
Interested for other opinions though.
Weāre in a new world bro. Order what you want and wait and maybe ā¦.maybe if youāre patient youāll get it.
this is just the new world.
Only new car comparable would be ordering a Tesla model 3 performance.
Probably get that a tad quicker too.
or just get a 2022/23 leftover off the lot or...
Very likely this is the final gas powered generation, maybe we get a facelift, or we just do the dodge move and build the last ICE cars and performance variants off this over the next 2-3 years.
Donāt be so surprised if this is the final 5.0
It doesnāt need to, thatās the point, the take rate is so low for manuals, that if autos can do it, the repo men will be free to grab manual cars in no time.
Itās a win win win.
And are you planning on not making car payments?
Itās a weird thought to even worry about lol.
