looks like you got a heck of a deal! $3k off & 0%. it ain't a camaro, but at least you're happy with it & that's what matters!

Nice car. I really like the Challenger myself. I think it should be the Charger though and the 4 door should be the Challenger.

I like the interior and the back seat since I have 3 kids it does offer more room in the back if we all want to go for a cruise. Though my daughter spends most of her time with friends now that she is almost 17. But I went and looked at a Blue R/T and really liked it except the R/T had more plain cloth seats I didn't care much for and thay wanted 40k for it but came down to 35k which I thought was still to high for not being an SRT8. If they had an SRT 8 for 33k Id jump on it probably myself.

I like the LS3 much more than the Hemi in the Challenger. The LS motors get far superior mpg with HP increases. My 408 LS2 dynoed 558hp and my 06 GTO at 435hp with mods and tune. Both were getting avg 21 mpg daily driving highway was around 25 for the 408 auto and 29/30 for the 6 spd GTO.

Dodge put the v10 in a truck they should have put one in the Challenger since it is heavier IMO. Sell that for 40k and you got something really cool!

It is a great looking car and American so Gratz anyways!

Well I am leaving to go and pick her up. I will be out of contact due to a death in the family. I will pick the car up and drive it all the way to florida. I will try to get online and give you a trip report.

If you happen to check this while in Florida, and are near the Tampa area send me a PM and I'd like to get a ride. Sorry about the death though.

Ok boys I am back home and back online....Sorry Merf I didnt get your message and I was no where near Tampa.

I want to make it clear that I would never try to sway anyone away from buying a great car like the Camaro.

I LOVE this car. I made the right choice for me. This car is just pure sex. I have never been so happy with anything in my life. I cant even drive down the interstate. People surround it like it is a flying sauser taking pictures and riding next to me just to catch a glimpse. Getting gas takes 30 min for all the questions I get. Its crazy. Here is a pic when I first got it to FL.

That is a niiiiiice car. If it wasn't for the Camaro I'd seriously consider an R/T with manual. I sat in one of those at a dealer (well an auto) and I really liked it (except for the low roof due to the sunroof), and it while it's BIG it's also beuatiful. If I some day have loads of extra cash I'll probably get one..

But my SS first
