then why is every magazine stating under 30 grand? at first you wont be able to get it anywhere near invoice, but after a while, it should be, if the magazines are right, and they usually are at Least close.

if they price it higher, they will be competing with the corvette, not the gto/camaro/mustang...and a manual C6 would give the chalenger a run for its money, with the published performance times.

If I had the money, there would be a Challenger in my driveway, next to the Mustang GT. The best of both worlds.

I would think this 425 hp coupe would be competing with the Cobra...

It is one of those things, we will have to wait until it is official. We can all speculate and read the rumors. But until it is set in stone, we will just not know for sure.

I have to agree here.....the current batch of SRT-8 cars are all sedans.......and while the performance is there....you are basically in the Corvette range when you start getting to the $38-40K range....especially in a coupe. Pat's got the right of it.

There's no way this car can be priced over $35k, at the very least not to START with. Take a look at the Camaro for instance. Prices got so high that they discontinued it due to lousy sales. That and the T/A and Firebird took sales away from each other and the Camaro.

Now, I expect we will see a very baseline version of the SRT-8 for around the $31-32k range. Just the bare necessities. Then you start adding the additional crap and it will get up around $35-36k for sure.

The GTO has come down quite a bit in price since its initial release...and it's now a 6.0L V8 LS2 engine that produces 400hp for a MSRP of $31,990......so a 425hp Challenger shouldnt be too much more then that....otherwise it will flat out lose sales....

The convertible Mustang GT is only like $32-33k...so you have to think they can NOT afford to price this thing stupidly...
