2008 SRT8 The Price Is Right ?
Not sure why you think the new Challenger is a "wannabe". The SRT8 will outperform a 70-74 stock vs stock.
It also has better brakes, better handling, bigger tires and wheels, a quiet interior, with a nice audio system, and production tolerances measured in thousandths - not inches. It truly is an all around better car.
Unfortunately car prices have far outpaced incomes since 1970. In '70 most people bought their car outright, or took out a short loan. These days it seems most take out loans, or lease, and the loans can be for 7 years or more:eek: Sucks](*,)
We have a 5 year loan on our Dodge Dually. We own our 2004 Mach 1 outright. I would love to trade our Mach 1 for the SRT8 Challenger, but I don't have that kind of cash kicking around and I don't want to take on the load of another loan.
Chrysler blew this sale... When I was looking for a 2 door muscle car in '04 Chrysler only offered a 4 door they dared to call a Charger. So, I shopped around and found what I was looking for at the blue oval dealer... Not what I really wanted, but for some unknown reason it has taken Chrysler the better part of a decade to come out with a two door to stick their Hemi in.:thumbdow:
