I can see your frustration with your dad's charger, however there is no need to come into this thread and say you wouldn't buy a Challenger SRT8 if the price dropped down to $20,000 because it simply sounds childish. I bet you the majority of folks on this forum would snag up a brand new SRT8 at $20,000 as a second car to put alongside their Camaro without any second thought. based on experience, no matter what type of vehicle you have from whatever company, there will be a time when you will have to take it in for warranty repairs. My Pontiac G6 has been in the shop over 25 times in the past 4 years and the warranty is about to expire. My friend has a Toyota Camry station wagon bought in 1986 that still runs today and has around 400,000 miles on it while it has never had to go back for engine work. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don't. Dodge may not have a good reputation for quality these days but neither does any American car company. They all are trying to re-gain that consumer trust they have lost over the years to the foreign car companies. With a 100,000 bumper to bumper warranty, repairs to me aren't a concern anymore. My friend their is no need to crap on the Challenger as it is a great car and at a low price is definitely worth looking into and giving a chance. They are rock solid performers and make a good challenge vs the Ford Mustang and soon to be Camaro...
