Again, explain how the GT500 is overpriced. The one you put together has the same MSRP as a HCRE. They will both perform similarly on the drag strip, but the GT500 will also be able to turn left and right. So a car that has a similar MSRP but has overall better performance is somehow overpriced? Your logic sucks.

Well currently GT500's are going to have a ridiculous ADM. RE's have $7970 rebate and dealers are generally knocking off another $7-8K off. Based on that the RE is much less expensive, but the GT500 at base price is not overpriced.

Not every dealer will have an ADM. And yes I understand that the RE has discounts. You can't compare a car that's brand new vs one that's been around a while.

To me, it is ricer math.

Heavily discounted Redey that has been on the market for about two years now vs. a GT500 that is SUPER LIMITED which isn't even out yet.. Yeah, that sounds so logical.

Base price vs. Base price, the GT500 smashes the absolute shit out of the Redeye, bang for buck. Can't really compare the two and also factor in ADM. Redeye's had them when they first came out. Two dealers near me in Chicago wanted over 100K for a Redeye when they hit the floors. Go figure, right?

Except there will be no such thing as base price vs base price. Argument is dumb and will never make any sense.

Red Eye will always sell for at least 10% off of MSRP, while the GT500 bought at MSRP will be the exception and not the rule for at least 2 years.
