The problem with the Challenger pricing isn't necessarily that it's outrageous, it's just that the 45k SRT8 is pretty much in the same league as a Camaro SS or a Mustang GT w/ Track Pack.

Reasonably speaking, the market pretty much dictates that the price point for a V8 muscle car is in the $32k range (with a couple of options ticked)...Ford ain't stupid enough to go pricing the Mustang out of its competitive element.

Interestingly enough, however, my fiance's 09 GT/CS has a higher MSRP than my Camaro (granted, hers has almost every conceivable box checked...missing only the navi system. She bought it during Employee Pricing and got it for <28k...would have been somewhere in the 35k neighborhood I think)
