drove a challenger
My friend just bought one. He replaced the clutch in my car and while he was working on my car, he let me take his out for a few hours. I have to say, it's a pretty nice car. It's a heavy pig, but it's still pretty quick. It's comfortable. It felt huge to drive, though I could get used to it. I'd own one. If the new Camaro is a disappointment, I will have to consider a Challenger instead.

Nice deal, he replaces your clutch and you get to drive his ride.

He's a helluva guy. He even did the work for no cost, just parts. Awesome guy.

Good question, not really sure. It has a Hemi, it's not the super expensive model, it was only around $38K

Lots of dealers still mark them up... theres places you can get them for around 30k in the r/t form. Make it 25k and I'd own one. Last I checked gas is as low as it has been in a while. The srt is well over 40k.
94 ta, m6 (sold)
70 Challenger

That depends on how you define “well over”. According to the dodge website, the MSRP on the 2008 SRT8 Challenger is $40,095 and $42,295 for the 2009. Gas is (relatively) cheap because we are in a soft economy (to put it nicely) and in a soft economy there is not a lot of demand for (perceived) impractical muscle cars. That said I think it would be perfectly reasonable to get the SRT8 for 38k.

Edmunds tested the Challenger R/T Hemi 5.7L with 6-speed manual. It only ran 14.1 @ 100.8 mph. Ls1 can still take the R/T.

They have used 2008 ones on Autotrader already. Most are A5 Automatics. There is One 09 SRT8 M6
They look cool. Still think 2010 Camaro SS is better!!
