But will those looking for an FL5 flock to the DE5? Maybe.Eventually we will get to the point of 0 ADM on these across the board and maybe you'll find a few dealers willing to drop below MSRP at the end of the month to move a unit. More so if they really start to pile up. I honestly don't see that happening, all these people wanting FL5's are going to flock to the ITS since its less expensive than a FL5 + ADM. Especially if it comes within a stones throw of the FL5 on the track.
However, the ITS doesn't have the panache that the CTR does. It doesn't have the history, it doesn't have the lap record credentials, it doesn't have the features like the highly bolstered seats and unique digital gauges & displays.
I'm sure there'll be some people that switch and end up in a DE5, but those that want the FL5 for what it is, will hold out for one. I'll also be curious to see if the DE5 eases the ADM on FL5's. I think dealers have sold all the FL5's they can with a $15k ADM on them, and now that the media blitz hype is wearing off, we're seeing the high ADM cars sit on dealer lots. Maybe those dealers lower or drop the ADM on the FL5's so that they actually sell, and those people end up not switching over to a DE5.
I think the initial 200 cars will sell out, and likely the other cars delivered through the rest of this year for those that have existing reservations. But as we get in to next year, I'll be curious to see how the supply of ITS' shakes out relative to demand, especially if shit goes sideways with the economy.
