And even the handling is excellent (it pulled better numbers than he Camaro SS does and is every bit the euqal or better in most performance situations compared to it's much MUCH pricier competitors).

While that may be true theres a little something called brand name and that intangible reputation of world class cars that allow those companies to ask what they ask. There's no way in hell Dodge deserves to ask that price on any car in their line up besides a viper. Sorry even with all that stuff people at the end of the day will still say yeah but its a dodge. Thats like making 90% of a Ferrari on a Kia and then asking for 95,000. LOL people will laugh it out of the market, yes it may be good and you can say well its 90% of what a ferrari but in the end its still a KIA and there's a certain ceiling that any kia can charge no matter how good the car. You don't see GM asking for Cadillac prices on their Buick cars which are just as good if not better then cadillac counterparts.
That's all I'm saying and yes we all know that its not like this car is going to be a big seller as far as mass numbers. The Challenger SRT8 isn't so this will be no difference. Point is Dodge is overpricing their stuff and don't have a rep like that to get top dollar. Sorry that's just the facts, sale numbers don't lie.
