Default 2008 Dodge Challenger

Oh my God, I am in love!!! I have been eying the Charger since it came out, but was not thrilled with a 4-door sports car... It just didn't feel right.

Then, Bobby spotted this in a magazine last night. WOW!!!

But with a base MSRP of just over $40,000, we need to hit the lottery or get a huge inheritance from some long lost relative before I will see one in the drive way...

A girl can always wish, right?

Undeniably one of the sexiest cars to hit the market in decades. The Mustang went with Retro Styling...the Challenger went with 1970's Styling, fast forwarded to today.

I'm in the same boat as you, I'll never be able to afford one, but I'll be first in line to test drive one, when they finally sit on a lot long enough for the dealer to let me.

They do make two other models, both with smaller engines. But very affordable and the gas mileage claims are pretty good. I have a video of them all. I will see if I can find it and post the link for ya.

Yeah, the SE, with the 3.5L V-6 ... Starting at about $25K (before dealer mark up). And then comes the R/T with the new 370-380HP 5.7L Hemi . Then comes the Bad Boy SRT-8 with the 6.1L Hemi, churning out (for now at least) 425HP , and all of them will be available with a Viper derived Tremec T56 6-Spd manual gearbox! Thank you American Muscle!!!

I think those look sweet, but it seems like the auto manufacturers are wanting way too much for these cars.

They'll sell all of them even with dealer markup, anyone else wonder how many guys are already planning on driving them home and storing them for 30 or 40 years?
