2008 SRT8 The Price Is Right ?

Did your typical 70's era muscle come with air bags ,ac,fuel injection,composite bumpers,crumple zones,on board computer,etc etc?

Plus todays cars have about 3 miles of wiring in them.

I'd say you are getting ALOT more car for your money now than 40 years ago.

I could care less about that junk, and with the electronic technology the way it is (laptops costing about $600) I find it hard to believe that it doubles the price of the car.

My example with the Buick GN has sequential fuel injection and A/C standard and that car was still half the money.

I'm not getting any more car for the money because I like most people can't see or afford spending that much salary for an auto so we are not buying.

I would say you are getting less car for the money because new cars don't last as long as the older cars. On top of that most sub assemblies are made overseas with cheaper labor than the labor they used 25 plus years ago and the cars still cost more.

The new Challenger is a great looking car and I would love to buy one and would if they lowered the price to a reasonable level. Everytime they over price a car it gets killed because of lack of sales, IE the Magnum and Prowler and soon to be Challenger if they don't make it reasonably priced like the Mustang.
