They mark them up like this becaus some dumb shit will pay that price so why not?

Just wait a month or two and save 20 grand. Some people....

Though I'd share.

That's gotta be a joke. There's no way that any reasonable person consciously did that.

Jason@JacFab · 12-08-2014, 12:20 AM

To this day, my local $417 hole puke greedy dealer still has a $5000 markup on all new camaro's v6, or v8, more on ZL1, and up... Greedy @$$hole dealers are the reason the manufacturers are @$$ up these days. Makes me sick. I have to drive 3-4 hours from here to pay MSRP, on a stock car no one cares about. Ridiculous.

Sounds like some of my local dealers. When the camaro first came back in 09, you couldn't get one from the local dealer without paying about 2500 over MSRP for probably the first 6 months. Local Ford dealer did the same when the S197 came out.

just found out the dealership right down the road here is selling them at sticker. Zero markup at all.

It allegedly was. Dealer said they put that crazy number on there to dissuade people from buying the car before the GM could put his estimate on "fair markup" for the car before it went on the lot.

So, it either is true and they got caught and changed their minds or it was just a joke.

The build quality and reliability of the Camaro and Challenger would be very comparable, both made in Canada and both plants are up to date. Cost for Challenger and Camaro is almost the same, unless you are paying a market adjustment.

The Corsair was awesome too, one of my favorite all time fighters, but the Hellcat shot down more enemy aircraft in the PTO. The Hellcat from the get go was designed to improve upon what Grumman knew would work and it did, the old keep it simple stupid approach. Pilots loved the aircraft for it's flying characteristics because it had no dark corners. It wasn't as sexy as the Corsair thus why the corsair is better known and thought to be the better fighter. But F6F was effective at doing it's job & sexy doesn't win dogfights.

Kind of like the B-17 vs the B-24, everyone knows the B-17 and it gets all the Hollywood fame & glory because it was a good looking plane and the B-24 looked like a flying dump truck.
The truth was the B-24 was more advanced had a greater bomb load and there were twice as many B-24's in service. B-24's accounted for the majority of enemy ground targets destroyed by American heavy bombers.

Vought took a more radical approach with the Corsair as a result the aircraft took a while to come into it's own where by contrast the F6F hit the ground running. The Corsair had issues becoming carrier qualified and was only land based till later in the war. It killed a lot of pilots till the kinks of operating it off a carrier were worked out. You can thank the Brits for that as they were the first to figure it out. In the end it went on to become a great aircraft but it wasn't successful from the drop like the Hellcat.

I just think Hellcat is a cool name, LOL these automakers name cars after everything form weapons to fish anyway. Ford made a car in the U.K. called the Corsair, it was hideous, definitely not anything like the plane, see below :O

LOL but everybody likes the Corvette right, nobody complains about it's name?
That damn car was was named after a British warship, Americas first true sports car and it was named after a ship??? And not even a American one???
Don't believe me they have a model of the ship in the Bowling Green Corvette museum LOL.
Love the Vett but come on a performance car has more in common with a fighter aircraft than a huge freaking ship
