Oh, you're just being a slanderous *******.

I like the new Hemi. But I don't see how you've come to this
conclusion. The 6.1 SRTs only run about 108 in the 1/4. The GT500s
run an easy 110. (And do we want to add the GT500KRs and KR Super
Snakes?) Or are you betting because the Challenger is going to be a 2-
door that it'll be lighter. I say don't bet on it. I think we'll be
lucky if it's south of 3,900.

You're just a little bit off. Total production for the 2007 GT500's
came to 10,844 units with 8,150 of those being coupes and 2,694 being
convertibles. If only you would have added 2 more zeros and then
about 7,000 to your number, you would have been right there.

And you think you're going to get a Challenger for anything close to
sticker the first year? Rrrrrriiiiiggggghhhhttttttt....lol

It is, if you first remove the 500 HP motor.

Dodge will be lucky if it's still alive in 5 years. (And Ford is
hardly in any better shape.) I say we should be extremely happy
they're even making the Challenger and GT500/Mustang.

Considering the Mustang hasn't missed a model year since '64, I'll
stay in the Champ's corner. What's our Challenger's history, again?
