Fastest production vehicle under 20k. Performance OEM upgrades sold through Mopar. Sounds like a hell of a deal to me. It is the "affordable race car" for those who can't afford a viper, etc.
When you say selling out, you mean they are actually "selling the products" because they have a ton of buyers! Go drive one. You'll change your opinion.
As for the earlier years, it isn't just one motor, its a design that continues to push the further ahead in the racing world. Go to a drag event and tell me what kind of cars / motors are pulling all those 6 second passes.
Isn't your acura.
