RE: $40,000 Challenger or....
I think it would all boil down to what options we're talking here....
Granted, a Viper is a Viper and will always have someone wanting it....but the fact is...I'd say half of us couldnt even afford to insure it...
I'd probably go with the $40K Challenger, provided its $40k fully loaded with every option you can think of....

RE: $40,000 Challenger or....
here is my thinking..for those of you who took the dodge poll..with the engine option pricing...my thoughts are as follows.
they said 3 grand upgrade for the 6.1L with a 6 speed...if that is true, then think about it..if the base price is X...then X+3,000 is the price of the 6.1L...if the car was 40,000 sticker, that means that the base model would be 37,000! even if the high end hemi was a 5,000 increase, still 35,000 for the base model? they wont sell ANY of them at that price....even at a 10,000 increase in price for the 6.1...30,000 for a v6 challenger? no thanks...
on the other hand, a viper isnt a good comparison..i could have had a 93 viper (no tops, no windows, no locks, no AC in 93) for 24,000...and the insurance was HUGE...
a 40,000 challenger had better have the 6.4L, and considerable factory performance mods...pricing it at 40,000 is more unreasonable than pricing the GTO at 35,000..and look how THAT turned out!

$40,000 Challenger or.... a used Viper?
What would you select if you had the chance to buy one?

As a former owner of 2 Challengers I really like the new Challenger as long as it looks like the concept car, has a manual tranny and it is priced reasonably. I hope its not priced like the Ram SRT10 or the Viper and Daimler Chrysler makes them more affordable to compete with the Mustang.

For 40,000 I could afford an origanl challenger with a hemi. I love the concept, but, christ man a used viper or vette would be just as much if not cheaper and still run the doors off of it.
