    This may sound like heresy, since I have Ford Blue (and BMW Blue & White) blood in my veins, but that Challenger looks great! If they made a stripper version w/no power do-dads, roll-up windows and that 6.1L Hemi w/425 hp for about $30-$35K...HoooBoy!!

    Stan et al,

    I couldn't agree more- the Challenger looks like a helluva car to me, and, as a former Viper owner, the only thing that would keep me out of one would be the obvious duplication of capability with the '07 GT500 I'd like to buy this year, as long as the dealers don't go crazy!

    That's a worry, by the way- I see that B-J is selling the first one available to customers for charity next week, and that can't be good for anybody but the charity. If the "be the first on your block" crowd decides that this is a car to have, those of us who hate to pay dealer premiums (or "market adjustments," as they call them) are going to have to wait until they have their run, much like the Ford GT.

    Cheers,
    Mike Heroy
