The Challenger SRT8 is a good deal at $42,000

Too bad nobody will be paying that for a long time.

10,000 over seems to be the average.
I know this isn't surprising, but it's sad and I hope it doesn't happen to us : /

It is?
We're getting a better car (relatively speaking) for somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 thousand less!!

And I agree, markups are a bite.

That big, fat pricetag seems to match that big, fat Challenger. Are they paying per pound? The Camaro is going to be a great deal. The Challenger is still great, but as a deal, Dodge can do better.

Yes, the going rate is about $10/lb. I believe that is how Dodge set the price, I can't think of any other reason why it would be that high.

The SS V8 manual weighs 3860 lbs.. Multiply that by 7.5 dollars and you got $28,950 which is what I am willing to pay.. That's where I came up with the figure of $7.50 per LB is what I'll be willing to pay for a Camaro. The Dodge Challenger weighs a hefty 4140 lbs and is priced at $37,995 msrp, (even though dealers overcharge).. So the Dodge comes in a little over $9.00 a pound if you manage to find the SRT8 at MSRP... If not, its over $10.. I'm checking all the Publix grocery's and Winn-Dixie's to see if they are going to have any specials on the horse meat...

Challenger with a manual should be around 4000 lbs.
