A 2010 SRT8 Challenger MSRP is $42,XXX. There is a 0% chance a premium, limited edition Camaro 2 years away will be under that. In fact, the 2010 GT500 is 5-10 thousand dollars more than an SRT8 Challenger. They're not even in the same class because of this price difference.
With Chrylers current dismal state, look for the Challenger to be discontinued within 2 years and the company fall into their inevitable bankruptcy again.

With an exception...not another bankruptcy. If the Challenger is discontinued, it will have been a call straight from Fiat, and I couldn't blame them -- it's uncompetitive, over-priced, and reports absolutely terrible sales. :( But that's neither here nor there.

Rember Ford is uping its game and are bringing the Heat next year, The 2011 Gt-500 will switch from an Iron block to an alluminum block, which will take about 100lbs off the nose, giving it even better handeling and acceleration. Ford's 5.4 v8 is going away, so a supercharged 5.0 32 Dohc V8 is a no brainer sooner or later.

I agree with you on pricing.
And I think GM's got a few tricks up their sleeves to keep this particular pony at bay.
