Wow. A Hemi. Balls to the Wall.

Post by Libra Monkee »

That's Joe Dirt for those of you who didn't get the reference.

The 2008 Challenger SRT8 goes on preorder today for a MSRP of $37,995. I like the way this car looks. Especially the taillights. I would probably get one if I had $40,000 worth of disposable income... and was drunk off of PBR. Since neither will ever happen:

Probably fun for about a week.

I think they announced that the gas guzzler tax bumped it to just a hair over $40k.

after seeing both the Challenger and Camaro concepts in person, I like the Challenger a LOT. but if I had $40K for a new car I'd be driving a 135tii... :wink:

Looks great, but for 40k, it better have the grip and go to justify.

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Silver's not looking bad. Even if it's hefty, I'm always glad to see a non-eyesore care cruising the streets.
