Well since the average buyer goes by price it seems a pretty reasonable way to compare for me. If I have an out the door budget of $40 000, including tax, title, license, etc the GT500 and SRT8 are beyond my reach. The R/T, GT, and SS aren't.



It really depends on which r/t you want. You can easily kick the r/t challenger to 40,000.00.(r/t classic, r/t RTJ package, and all the bells and whistles) I bought my srt-8 fully loaded for about 38,000.00 including taxes and all the mumbo jumbo. My camaro will be about 40,000.00+ So comparing it, to an srt-8 wouldn't really be out of the price range.
Yeah I heard that they are discounting the Challengers now. Sounds like you got a good deal for a loaded SRT-8. Hopefully they will do the same with the Camaros after they are out a little while.
