In my town there is a young girl that has a black Challenger With black 20s and tint. It looks damn good. I hate to side with you but if you like the car alot and don't have plans to make it much quicker, then buy it. If you think you may get pissed if a rcsb GM blows your doors off, or if you think you will catch the engine mod bug, I would suggest buying a vehicle with an LS engine. The options for modding and tuning are endless. The Dodge aftermarket may be limited with the challenger

just my opinion, if you buy a challenger, buy a black one!

I wouldn't buy a challenger. I think they look nice but they weigh 2 tons which is alot for a so called muscle car. Plus its a dodge and in my experience you get some mileage on em and they start to have problems. If you really want a camaro then just keep looking and I am sure something will come up. The GTO's are awesome as well. My buddy has one and he loves it.

You guys really aren't talking me out of this damnit, lol. I'll definately look at GTOs more, an LS2 would be fun for sure.

Damn Dodge, why did they have to build such a cool car............
last time I looked at a Challenger (last week) it was 44K plus t&l. I will take a GXP any day of the week @ 38k

However if you take a step back the G8 GT @ 31,395 (sticker) is the best bang for the buck car available....

But I am bias Blown G8 FTMFW

First off, I love your car. That's ******* gorgeous........

The SRT8 is $40k+, the R/T, with the 5.7 is 31-33k depending on trim level. With employee pricing and the fact they are willing to bargain puts them down in the mid 20s. I love the G8 but a manual transmission is mandatory.

Stupid GM, why can't we have a G8 GT with a stick?

You can get G8 GT's in the mid 20s if you look As for the manual, I like the A6....but I am an old man now

Thanks for the complement on the car!
