It contiunes to climb insales over all while the Camaro has been dropping since the end of 2015. I do agree that they won't take many 1LE sales though. Those cars are more purpose built for people that have road courses in mind.

Exactly. Dodge has done a fantastic job at offering many levels of both performance and aesthetics to the Challenger platform. As I've already stated, a brand new Scat Pack can be bought for ~$41k depending on options. That is amazing, considering a similarly equipped new Camaro SS will run you ~$5k more. GM dropped the ball on the new Camaros with the price. This is why most Chevy lots are sitting on piles of 2016's as the 2017's are being released. I already mentioned in another thread, the sticker on my car when I bought it new in '11 was ~$45k. The same optioned '16 2SS stickers for ~$52K. That is nuts...just plain nuts!
