I have looked around at the R/T prices in the past and was surprised at some of them. I considered it on and off, but when it came down to it, I'd be buying more car than I wanted/needed just because it was a good deal, and I really don't want to buy used. Maybe that's illogical or psychological, but I've been wanting a challenger since the concept was unveiled in 2006, so I really need(want) a brand new car with that awesome cancer causing new car smell. Plus I've read about reliability issues with the R/Ts so that combined with the way a 375hp car might have been driven over its 25,000 miles kind of scares me.

Maybe I should change my avatar to a toxic orange challenger SE instead. . .

Yeah, that Pentastar V6 looks to be pretty bulletproof. I'm glad to see Chrysler engineering back on track. My R/T is a daily driver with 18000 miles and only had one small issue which was fixed and wasn't engine related, 'Wrong lubrication on the input shaft bearing'. But I can totally understand not wanting to buy a car like this with 25000 on the ticker, I wouldn't either. It loves to do burnouts! :wink: Toxic Orange looks awesome, they need to make snake skin green a color too. When you get the Challenger be sure to join the Challenger Forumz. Tons of great info and great people, much like these forums. Good luck man.

I go to challengertalk. Early on I went to dodgechallenger.com but the people who ran it pretty much let it go to hell. They get like 5 posts a day now.

1970 Plymouth Barracuda, best color is "Plum Crazy/Statutory Grape" but I couldn't find a good enough shot of one of those.

Pontiac GTO FTW!!!! :P



Also where are the Impala's.... Maybe not actually a muscle car... But that sucker ran on 7.4 L V8 Turbo Jet engine in the 70s!!!


Edit: BTW RIP Pontiac... They just went under a couple of weeks ago... :cry:

Though I'm thinking about putting the supercharger on hold and buying a 1968 Chevelle SS. The prices are right these days with the economy and winter approaching. Image

Guy by me has a plum crazy (that's the dodge name, don't remember what the plymouth version was called) cuda. I'm not sure what year it is, I see it driving around a lot.
