Its actually a new game show. Who wants to screw a millionaire. The car is just part of the prize package.

I got a really nice image off of google, but when I went to post it up it was fubar, so I went with this one, it doesnt do it any justice. If you have a local dodge dealer that has one, I would say go down and take a look. the two they have in augusta are in the 50k range and they wouldnt let me take if for a spin in the rain. Bastards.

This is a little better picture.

Are you getting the man tits?

Seriously. I think saw one of those the other day. I couldn't figure out what it was. It was gorgeous. I was trying to get behind it to see what it was but traffic was too bad to get to it. I tried to describe it to people as being either a new car or an old car that had been modified as hell.

If they are on the road, that was the "mystery car" that I was salivating over.

Yep. That's exactly what it was. I saw a picture of the back end to seal the deal. I remember it one one row of lights.

Thanks Phatboy. That was bugging me.

No problemo, not getting the man tits, yet, I guess. :)

Im going to see what all colors they are going to offer on the 09, I like the silver and orange, but if they off it in Sublime Green or Plum Crazy I might get one of those.

Everyone sayst the new Camaro is going to be better, but from what Ive seen it is going to be smaller, like the mustang and have a wide set of hips. Plus I like MOPAR and the Hemi would give a nun a chubby.

Well this may be the quickest dream I have ever lost.

Went to the dodge website 'built' my car, I learned that if I get the one I want it is in excess of 35k. Not terrible, but still not great. They make an SE model, only comes with a V-6. The RT comes with the 370 (bumped it up) HP and is offered with 5-speed autostick and MDS (cuts of the cylinders at cruising speed) or 6-speed manual (+925) and then non-mds Hemi. So not only do you get worse mileage with the non-MDS hemi, you also have to pay more for the Manual? Oh well.

I will just wait and see how quick they move on the lot. If they hang out for a while Im sure I can get a deal on one. I was thinking the Hemi Orange with the RT stripes. I wanted the 6-speed but bump that.

Yuck. I hate orange. I think I will go build one and see the price.

$28,185

I did the SE w/G package in black with sound system, GPS, and sunroof.

I wouldn't spend that much on a car. I'm cheap and I hate driving, but it is the best looking new car on the road, fo' sho!

Why do the steering wheels look so ugly? I hate the steering wheel. I hated the Caliber because of the ugly ass interior. Dodge needs to learn to make a car look as good on the inside as they do on the outside.

Yea, it looks like the same steering wheel that I had in my 05 Ram. I dont know, you'd think they would have taken some queues from Mercedes when they bought them.

I couldnt get the v-6 because of the HP. its a lot lower than the hemi (370) but the MPG isnt there. If I was going to take a 100 less HP it better get 10 more mpgs.

But same thing, I am not paying that much for a car.

Well I got the plan in place.

1) Sell my Acura

2) Buy my wife a 'new Beetle'

3) Trade-in the accord and get the Challenger

4) divorce wife and get younger slutty chick

5) sell Challenger to pay for divorce.

6) buy Acura back, get apartment

7) get crabs from younger slutty chick

Hows that sound?

Aside from the crabs, this sounds like a plan... One question, are you distinguishing "Accord" and "Acura" from each other?

Yea, I drive my crappy little Acura to work (the black one in my other thread), the wife has an Accord. Once I buy her that crappy little beetle I can trade in the Accord, cause I aint driving the mini-van (no offense maj). I was actually going to trade it in on an Altima, because they get pretty good mileage and arent as homely as the Accord.

But when I went and saw the Challenger, it was like, hmmmmmm.

I should probably jetison my F-250 and Camper too.....

I thought we covered this: I drive a very manly GMC Yukon SLT. It's a very manly pink with coral interior and periwinkle seat covers.

So today I am going down the road and decide to stop in and see if they have any of the RT versions out of the Challenger. Well they got 2. One white w/auto and some nice RT stickers running up onto the hood, from the side. One was just a Red one w/6-Speed. Well they asked if Id like to take it for a spin. Yea, does a cat have an ass?

So I take this sweet little red 6-speed for a spin. Damn what a sweet fucking ride. The 370HP hemi rumbles nicely when you crank it up. The clutch is a little different from my Acura, so smooth shifting was not mine. It pulled very good in 5th gear, even at only 40mph. The shifter was an extremely short throw version. The interior is spacious, with three seats in the back. Very smooth ride. LIke it a lot.

I'd want the 6-speed but not in red. Don't they had that bright ass green with the flat black accents?
Joeslogic
10-21-2008, 10:42 PM
Hmm just looked looks like you gotta get the srt8 to get the Black accents and the best color scheme is Hemi Orange. IMHO

Now thats a sweet looking ride.

All the colors and stripes are available on the RT and SRT.

The stripes are just a sticker package, and they actually have a few different variables. They dont have the 'sublime green or plum crazy purple' (yet) They do offer the classic b5 blue which looks pretty good, kind of like a metallic 'Petty' blue.

I like the 6-speed but the clutch is so much different from my acura it's crazy. The acura has the old school manual clutch, the Challenger has the hydraulic assist clutch.

The white one looks good, they have two types of red, one called 'Tor Red' and one called something else (kind of a metalic burgundy). The Hemi orange is the only 'classic' color offered besides the b5 blue.

There are a couple of nice accessories like a shaker hood, that you can get from Dodge. The even have a wing to replace the decklid spoiler.

Now I just have to get my wife a car (she wants a new beetle convertible) then I can get my challenger. I am hoping by the first of the year (when the sublime green comes out)....
