except dodge does exactly what I’m pointing out to the challenger. You can get a hell car or for more get the red eye and both seem to sell for them.

I also gave a price range for where the Mach 1 could fit. Hey maybe they don’t slap a blower on it, maybe more NA power but again that makes it even more like a gt350 so that’s senseless. Meanwhile if they did put a smaller blower you would likely find different buyers are drawn to this car the gt350.

As far as the impact to gt500 sales, I doubt it. Many people who buy the gt500 do so because they want the top dog offering even if they too plan to mod it. By your logic that they would instead buy the Mach 1 to mod, why aren’t we seeing more GTs or GT350s bought to mod for less then a modestly equipped gt500.

Trying to address all your points so bare with me...

The challenger doesn't sell as just as you think it does. It is nowhere near mustang sales which is the reason why dodge always has hp per dollar discounts . How many times have you seen Ford have 0% financing or thousands off msrp for a Shelby car? It isn't working for does like you think it is, they have to give those away to move them off the lot.

All NA power is not equal, making more power in the coyote is not the same as having a voodoo motor. The FPC motor is special and ppl buy the GT350 for that alone. So no adding more power to a coyote based motor does not make It more like a GT350.

How saying " why aren't we seeing more GT's and GT350 bought to mod"? Well first of all we are seeing a ton of ppl slapping a SC on the coyote motors, you don't see more of the GT350 because of the cost . The mustang crowd is bang for buck so if you have a car like a mustang with a SC on it from the factory ppl will no doubt buy that before a GT500. It will hurt the GT500 sales without question. There is a reason why the only SC motor Ford has build has been the Cobra/GT500.

Since everyone is crying about it lacking a shaker hood, how would you go about incorporating a shaker into the intake?
