Challenger

Thanks for telling us your story I like hearing about the other muscle cars too, they are too. Keep us in the loop and if you go Mopar, take lots of pictures.

Yeah, seriously. None of them hold their value these days.

My only other thought is to hold off and test drive a Camaro when one is actually on a dealer lot (maybe a year from now who knows). Then make a decision and buy a used Challenger R/T for $25K if that's the way I decide to go. The only problem with that is the Lifetime Powertrain Warranty is only good to the original purchaser.

Don't get it used, then. Better to wait even longer. That warranty isn't something you run into everyday, I'd definitely exploit it.
