Obviously people will stick with what they know, but your reasoning is incorrect to compare Mustangs and Camaros with Miatas and Integras- as you will see and why I never mentioned in the last post- as is scapegoating Corvettes while ignoring the more expensive RX-7,Supra etc.  A Mustang GT/Camaro Z28 was maybe a grand cheaper than a regular Integra RS and $2-3k cheaper than a GS-R. A Mustang GT convertible was the same price as a similarly optioned Miata and that's not even counting rebates and finance programs which would make them thousands cheaper. $1500 down and $225 a month was the usual deal for a GT coupe. Corvttes definitely were an older demographic, but Mustangs and Camaros definitely not. Ford sold more GTs each year than what GS-Rs sold in the entire production run, world wide, over 8 years. I'm pretty sure- without looking- that similar number (or even more) of Corvettes were sold in '94 than the entire production run of all the Japanese cars listed above, world wide, over their entire production run from '93 to '98 or whatever. So production numbers are also a huge factor. And of course it was Boomers and Z buying them all- Millenials would have been 14 years old. FYI I got out of high school and started right away in the car biz as a dealer and broker and was dealing in this stuff when they were new. ... View more

No, I worked in dealership management for 20 years the dealers don't control demand- if you wanted one just order it. And yes you have to wait, just like any other special order or colour that's not in stock- and sticks were very rare so we wouldn't order them. They'd sit out on the lot for a year or two and ended up losing money them. ... View more

Speaking of quality- have you ever owned and tried to keep an RX-7, M3, 968 or 300 running cheaply once the warranty was up? I foolishly did. ... View more

Not mentioned- the top 5 vehicles for price, not coincidentally are also the top 5 for being unreliable,having expensive/unobtainium parts, and known to blow up and/or be a continual repair project. Back in the day- once the warranty was recently up- they were all bank account busters to keep going even with parts being semi available. I've owned all the top 5 on the list,some of them multiple times and learnt my lesson. But once I got my hands on a C5 Corvette those all vanished from my though processes. ... View more

Maybe 10 months ago, I emailed the same message twice in a row, so it would be noticed along with a request to email me back for more info. There's a huge warehouse in NY full of C2 Corvettes, mostly 427s, a bunch of C1s, exotic Italian cars from 60's and 70's muscle cars, Mercedes, Jags etc etc- hundreds. Undoubtedly the ultimate find. Never heard back ... View more
