It certainly did not appear to be headed for extinction in 2008. It had its problems, but extinction was not imminent.

Just a few question/observations:
How many of the Mustangs are actually in competition? Bet many are sitting in collectors garages. Since the Challengers are not sold as complete cars, do they have any collector value? (Remember the last time you drove down a street and there was a Daytona or Superbird rear wing visable in an open garage door? Does a Challenger on trailer tires get your heart thumping the same?) Think you will find it is just like the younger racers, where a lot have very wealthy parents running multiple cars.
I no longer tell any of my friends the $$ involved in racing. Many choked on the cost of just tagging along as crew. Engines and transmission are out of their realm. And $90,000 for a car? (plus 12% sales tax here...) One almost passed out seeing Arnie Martel's nice rig! Could you purchase one of these cars for $90,000 and run it without spending even more $$ on it?
