    Thanks guys. :) 


    We still have some small after market parts to put on it. We got a vintage Challenger script for the front grill and then this, will replace the dodge emblem on the hood.

    That car looks nice in a real picture! I saw one at the local dealer a few weeks ago but none since. It's a tough choice between that and the Camaro, considering I am on Camaro #4 in my life maybe not that hard ;-)

    Still though, that is a gorgeous car! Love black on a muscle car.

    Def a huge upgrade over that old stang. If you got it new which I am just gonna assume, how bad was the markup? Even with the companys going to hell, I still see huge markups on that car still. To bad its a auto.....

    We did get it new, actually had to special order some parts. :)  And there was no mark up at all. We actually got the car at about invoice. :D

    Well, lets just say if the Camaro had come out first, I would have held out for the Challenger. It's not even close IMO.

    It drives great so far, even though the weather has been like 10 degrees with snow ever since I picked it up.

    Like alphie said, there was no markup. Got it at $1,000 under sticker and then got extra for the trade-in so it was basically right around invoice ($2600 below sticker).

    How'd you know it was an auto? It is, but you shouldn't be able to tell. I know everyone says that, but I personally just don't get the "fun" from manual. Thankfully in this case auto is standard and I didn't have to pay extra. It is auto stick though, so I can pretend a little if I want.

    The "fun" in a manual? If you don't get it, no one can explain it to you. It all goes to how you define "fun".

    And yes, I love a stick. I bought a Cobalt ( gas prices helped determine that decision ) and I got it with a stick. If I'm gonna have a weak motor, I want to have as much fun driving it as possible.
