I don't fully get the government excuse Dodge is using. Build the car, tack on the appropriate guzzler tax, and let folks that want them pay it. Maybe I'm missing something but seems straight forward to me?
There seems to be some type of pressure or upcoming fines / government penalties for these cars.
I remember the last time this happened and performance cars were gone in 2 years.

Well, hopefully that changes with some of the elections this year.

Well, let's see. 2020 presidential election was fraudulent, the Georgia senate race was as was the recall election of Newsom in California.
What's the chances of getting an honest election this time?

Yeah there is that. Republicans will have to step up their game to stop shenanigans for sure.

Do you not agree the government controls every big business in this country? Always have always will.

Not Republicans or Democrats.

The People need to correct this. We've all been conditioned to believe that someone else will always take care of things. Look where it has us?

David,
I agree, but I do hope that a lot of people will be watching. As for Florida/// we are blessed with a great
governor and congress persons. As long as the party doesn't force our state leader in running for the ass hole chair in DC. Thru the Chianese germ warfare, our state, and still, was a role model for the rest of the country. Just hope they don't steal him to DC. Gov control over the large cooperation is a no brainer. But thank god the majority of companies are small businesses. Why don't we start with the IRS. Damn communist gov agency ruined my life and put my 5 businesses and 55 tradesmen out of work. Cause I had a nasty divorce with the woman's daughter whom owned the largest CPA firm in Tenn. I brought her up on charges with the CPA association. Could have got her disbarred. Should have.

I meant from going in a factory car perspective. If doing a "build" I'd have a performance 426 built and put the Whipple on it personally and save the other $15K for other upgrades.

I wonder if I can talk the wife into letting me put one in my 69 Charger. She keeps upgrading on her new house so…..
whoa, did you just sneak that reveal in here now or did I miss it? Last I saw, you were still looking for one?

TRX with a redeye isn't happening
If Ford actually comes out with a Raptor R, and if it has more power than the TRX, I can see Ram doing a one year run with the Redeye.

Negotiate everything up front. I got the oversize garage and she got the pool. She did get the floorplan that she liked.

My wife got the land and the house/floorplan she wanted and I got the oversize garage with lift. No pool this time thank God. This will be our 11th new home since 1994. This old Soldier is done moving for sure.

I totally understand about the pool. I've maintained my wife's pools for over 25 years. So damn glad that's over. Now if I can figure out how have her clean up behind her dogs life would be great.
