Cheap SRT8!

The ignorance in this forum amazes me. In 15 years that car will still be worth 3 times what any comparable Evo will be.
36k for that car is VERY reasonable. The R/T Version will prob be closer to 30k

134 more hp doesnt justify the tag and comparing it against an evo. I'm not a evo slave and gonna say "the evos better yadadada".. The evo is a completely diff type of car. We have ACD, they have a 1/4 and 0-60 timer. Get the picture..
PS: although it has 425hp, im sure an evo with far less hp could take one no problem so HP racing is a noob game imo

With the GT500 selling at $44k + markup, the Challenger SRT8 is priced just right.
The market seems to agree:
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- It's no surprise that Dodge has an apparent hit on its hands with the 2008 Challenger, an update on the classic muscle car from the early 1970s.
What may be surprising is that some buyers are lining up to pay as much as $20,000 over the $40,000 sticker price for the earliest top-of-the-line production cars.
....
It had been reported that Chrysler would build only 5,000 Challenger's for the 2008 model year, but more than 6,000 have already been ordered. The company may increase production to meet additional demand, Chrysler spokeswoman Kathy Graham said.
The initial run of 2008 Challenger SRT8s will be offered in only three colors: Hemi Orange, Brilliant Black and Bright Silver, said Graham. So far, more than half of the orders have requested Hemi Orange.
A few individuals and dealers have listed pre-ordered Challengers on eBayMotors.com, with bids taken in terms of how much over the suggested retail price buyers are willing to pay. Winning bidders are being asked to put down deposits of as much as $10,000.
Two auctions have already ended with bidders agreeing to pay $20,000 over the sticker price.
