Lotsa Inventory

[BimmerDriver]

This thread peaked my curiousity, so I looked for DH w/manual in my area. Only found 3 new ones, but 2 of them were strongly discounted.

Heck, I could now buy a new one for less than I sold mine for a few months ago. Thousands less.

As the DH/SC begins hitting the street this summer/fall I’d expect N/A dark horses to show up on the used market by the hundreds if not thousands… it’s time is over, people will want the supercharged 5.2, except the DCT whiners and 3 pedal army, but they’re already too slow to catch up

For the price of a DH, you are at low trim level Vette pricing and sometimes even 2LT level.

I know when I bought my car in 2024, I was at the absolute top of what I would spend for a Mustang, and now the same car is a good $5000 more and frankly I would not spend that kind of money for what this car is.

I look at what GT's with PP and other options, or DH's cost and I can not think of any situation where I would drop that kind of money for what the car is.

Frankly I'd be looking at a M3 or other car

This is spot on from my perspective. The cost of the DH is to high. I almost went Corvette but the dealership dropped the price and I was able to cash in the 3500 rebate that ford allowed on the DH for a short time period.

Yes I'm also part of the 3 pedal army. I dont drag race so the time saved in an automatic means nothing to me. If the DH was only automatic it wouldnt have been a choice over the Corvette. Once my truck is paid off a Grand Sport Corvette gets put in the garage.

I too considered a C8, looked at both the E-Ray and Z06, but I'm too tall and it's not at all comfortable. I also think the Mustang looks better. I love the E-Ray and now GSX powertrains for the C8. I do think of the Vette as still an "old man's car" though, LOL.

It'll be interesting to see if Dodge gets the Hellcat and/or Redeye into the new 2 door Chargers now or what Chevy does with a possible Camaro.

Ha! This was the answer is got from friends and family when I asked which one i should buy. A common response was I would need white new balance shoes and jean shorts.

I'm only 5'8" so the vette fit me. Hopefully Chevy doesn't screw up the camero.

IMO DHs are sitting on lots for a few reasons -

1. Price. They're overpriced for what they are. As mentioned above, a lower trim Vette, used Porsche, or M3 isnt much farther away in that price range.

2. Demand. They are track focused, specially Mustangs that that have a very niche demographic in a competitive market. See #1.

3. Performance. There isnt enough HP separation from the GT. Unless you get the Tremec, its just a slightly warmed up GT from a Performance standpoint. Thats not a knock on the car (they are great). But the average buyer will never use it on the track to appreciate the extra cooling.

4. Economy. We are in a K shaped economy. People with money are doing great and buying more expensive cars with premium import names. Lower middle class people are struggling and cant afford an expensive and impractical high end mustang. Very few people are in between right now.

Now is a great time to scoop one up for a deal if you're in the market for sure! I pitty the people who paid dealer markups 2-3 years ago.
