[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 15938792, member: 188865"] Supply and demand. You're speaking to supply. The real issue is demand. The regular 350 is going to be "supported" by the GTPP2 pricing. If the PP2 is almost a 350 (without the brand notoriety, the uniqueness of the voodoo, the wider stance and body upgrades, the slightly better brakes, etc) then demand for the 350 will remain as long as there's value at that particular price point. Once something BETTER is offered at a similar price point, THAT effects demand and less demand, just like too much supply, drives costs lower. You can make a zillion units of a product and it won't devalue as long as there's demand (which is primarily driven by VALUE). Conversely, you could make a one off custom My Little Pony themed Dodge Caravan and it might be the ONLY in the world of it's kind but if it doesn't offer value, then despite it's low supply, it's price will plummet. In summary, low supply isn't a substitute for demand. And similarly, high supply isn't necessarily a killer either.....as long as there's adequate consumers in numbers (and that comes from value). As soon as the 500 hits the streets, we'll see. It will ALL depend on it's price point. If the PP2 were offered with a factory roots blower from Ford with a warranty and in the same price point as the 350, don't you think it would DESTROY 350 sales? Of course it would, despite the 350 having wider body, snake emblems, a FPC, etc, etc. Because MOST consumers are driven by VALUE (i.e. what they get for the money the spend). Of course there's a few "purists" who see the uniqueness of the 350 and what a tender flower it is and how special it is and the nostalgia of it's return and how it's a balanced track focused cars....blah, blah, blah. Those consumers are the exception, not the norm. [/QUOTE]
