OK, you have to admit this is pretty cool...Challenger V10 for real

1st off...PLEASE don't turn this into the typical crap that comes up whenever the Dodge Challenger is discussed.

This is just cool, and it's basically the equivalent of that Ford factory drag mustang that's about the same price- so it's not really overpriced when you put it up against it's extremely rare competition.

Just appreciate it for what it is, pretty cool......

Man it's nice but I would hate to see what a street legal optioned out V10 Challenger would cost if a stripped down race only version starts at $85k. Could we be talking ZR1 territory?

I bet it costs them more to take all that stuff out than it would to just leave it in.

I don't think it'd be the same to put it in a "normal" challenger. There are a lot of changes on that list. I looked at the Ford Cobra Jet and that was in the $70's in 2009 (which is the same kind of thing, a body in white factory drag car), even though the regular Ford GT500 is much less.
