Reasonably speaking, the market pretty much dictates that the price point for a V8 muscle car is in the $32k range (with a couple of options ticked)...Ford ain't stupid enough to go pricing the Mustang out of its competitive element.

Interestingly enough, however, my fiance's 09 GT/CS has a higher MSRP than my Camaro (granted, hers has almost every conceivable box checked...missing only the navi system. She bought it during Employee Pricing and got it for <28k...would have been somewhere in the 35k neighborhood I think)
anyone who buys an SRT8 is dumb in my book. 45k for 440hp on a fat ass tank that cant handle. 48k gets you a GT500 that will outrun that challenger anyday and also run circles around it with better handling.

and i know from experience. ive test driven SRt8 and GT500 in the same day.
