The days of OE's slapping turbos or special engines in limited run cars is coming to an end. It costs way too much for design and testing in this thin-profit time frame. If they can't past the premium onto the collectors.....errr buyers its not going to happen. People already complain about how much well optioned ND's cost. Add another 10k-15k for a special engine/transmission package that you're only make a few thousand off and most people are going to scoff, buy a base model, and modify it how they want.

Ford/GM/Dodge get away with it because they charge a premium knowing many buyers of the GT500/1LE/Demons are investors and are willing to gamble that their high purchase price is going to to turn a profit when the supply runs out.
