I honestly can't believe if this car didn't come with MORE power stock people would be saying "no, it doesn't need that much....can't you give us less?" Even then people would want more.
A lot of people would be happy yes. My point is that this is not something that EVERYBODY wants. Most certainly nobody would want to go backwards but there would not be this massive sales increase that people seem to think. My dealer has said a couple of times that they have lost several sales to people that test drove it and the car scared them. Know that sounds weird on here but that is the reality of the vast majority of car buyers. The high level Mustangs of fame make up about 5% of the sales numbers yet if "car guys" think of Mustangs those are the ones they are talking about. Joe and Jill Average just don't give a rat's ass about HP as long as the car is cool. Any across the board price jump or wild power increase would lose some of that market and the sales would probably remain about even.
I personally would not be adverse to another 50HP or so but do not for one second think that I speak for "everybody" as get's said all the time.
