That's going to be alot of power, for not that high of a price. I wonder how it will compare to the Shelby?[&:]

Don't worry, dealer mark ups will level that one out nicely.

Price wise, its less. Speed wise, its slower, because of 75hp less and more weight.

I have been waiting for it though myself, just because I think it looks so cool. Plus I cant wait to stomp one of the early "status" buyers with the Mustang. Wont ever be able to afford a second car like this though unless I run into some good cash somewhere

wouldnt take much to get one into GT500 power territory. all the SRT'8s come with the same 425 hp hemi. the charger SRT8 is only like $33k. challenger will look better though...

cacimar

1 above, head&cam would put it even with the shelby

Too bad the aftermarket sucks for dodge. I couldn't even find a supercharger for my dodge truck. They won't give up they're codes for one thing. I bought my Mustang and they have all the performance mods in the world to choose from.

SRT8 Chargers are not that cheap. They are on par with the SRT8 Challenger.

Are we all in agreement that they look awesome though?

I like the look of the charger, though not that i think it's a 'charger' at heart.

But this Chalenger...it looks awesome.
