Good thing you didn't get an import. Else I'm sure the posts would be a much different story, lol.

Congrats! Which dealer did you buy from? My wife has pretty much decided that she is ready to trade her Crossfire in on a Challenger SRT-8 this spring/summer, so we may be seeing each other at some of the local cruise-in's/gatherings in the middle-TN area.

It's very likely by the fall we will have a GT500, 2SS Camaro and a Challenger SRT-8 in the gargage(s) along with the Aspen and the '65 Fastback. Life is looking good!

Dude, you bought last year's model...

Seriously, the Challenger is a SWEET car. If it fits your needs and you're happy, then good for you! You're always welcome here.

Congrats. If the Challenger SRT8 were more like $31K than $43K, I would definitely have considered it more seriously.

Congrats! I almost bought an RT last week. I loved the car "it's a monster".
Dodge di a great job with this car but there was one problem "It did not fit in my garage".

My garage is on a angle and it could not make it, if it did I would of bought it. You just can't beat the deals on this car. I have suppliers discount and $1,500 on my GM card but GM is not honoring any of these and this is also going to make me look at the Genesis Coupe. GM is risking going under.

Nice car! I've driven a R/T automatic and it was nice. I am a GM guy true blue, so I have a hard time switching, but I will say that is a good-looking car. No imported junk will ever have the looks and grunt of real AMERICAN MUSCLE!

Where did you see this as being true?

Thats a good looking car, enjoy.

Congrats...I like the look of the chally (not as much as the camaro). But I just hope your giddyness holds up when Camaro SS's start whipping past a slower car with boring interior.
