Congrats great runs and a good no BS video ! I left you some weight reduction tips below the vid.
Tips from an old drag racer: Bring ice in a cooler to the track, use double Zip lock bags full of ice bungeed corded on top of the intake manifold during runs. Loosen the front sway bar and...
Sir, you missed some of the prerequisites . If you can buy a well equipped 5.7 Mopar for $35K you are doing better than me with my FCA employee discount. The Mustang V8 will smoke a 5.7 powered vehicle and will give a 392 vehicle fits. I personally luv the 392 package but it requires 92 octane...
FCA dealer in Ft Myers FL is running ads for Challenger lease deals at $99 per month with the usual $2900 down. Of course this is a come on but their web site shows plenty of base models in stock.
How about a good looking vehicle that will sell in volume that has high HP and under $35K. well equiped ? Said vehicle would burn 87 octane gasoline, weigh say 3500 lb. , and be stylish. It's a business model waiting to happen. Mustang wouldn't know what hit them, right SRT ?
YES ! Most buyers will tack on $10K - $20K in options. Which will bring the price to appox $70 K. I expect the C8 to sell for full MSRP for 2-3 years. Dealer mark ups will stifle all but the well heeled true believers ? Mean while SRT has offerings ..................................
Kiss the FCA Italian premium brands good bye. GM has under taken a big gamble with a clean sheet of paper new vehicle. Now lets see how the market place responds. After all it's all about $$$ and image.
With the new Vette coming online soon let's hope SRT has a few aces up it's sleeve for 2020 !
Detroit News today has a article about FCA in which Goldman Sachs states that FCA North America supplies FCA with 93% of it's profits in 2018.
FCA has made it quite clear, their main $$ focus is PU trucks, Jeeps, and SUV's, so SRT gets the left over crumbs. Heck Dodge and Chrysler are at the same budget as FIAT. By dropping the Chrysler 200 FCA gave market shares to the Asian brands and screwed themselves on the EPA fleet average MPG...
To those who don't think the Challenger isn't porky or too heavy, it's because you don't own one ? Live with one for a few years and then comment.
I say; Bring out a light weight Cuda based on one of the Italian brands platform as that may be the only hope ? Make the base engine the NA 392 and...
Unsold vehicles target supply is 55 days. Check out Richmond [ Michigan ] Dodge, Ram, Jeep over flowing inventory as one example. You can put lip stick on a pig but it's still a pig. I'm hoping this settles out ?
Please watch the real news on You Tube: AMTV, Silver Report, Jeremiah Babe, etc. The auto industry is in trouble world wide.
Jeep Wrangler has a 105 day spply of unsold vehicles also.
Before you break out the party goodies consider; Ram inventory 134 DAYS.
Warren Stamping, major Ram body panel supplier, many layoffs till next year. Also offering certain skilled tradesmen $25,000. to retire early.
The whole auto market is soft and may get even worse ??
Here is a couple of tidbits;
The is a company that makes carbon fiber body panel. They made a skin for the Challenger I believe 2017 or 2019. Car weight dropped 250 LB.
The 2019 Ram 5.7 Hemi comes with an aluminum block, saves 100 LB off the front end where it really counts. Why the Challenger...
