RE: What is the expected price for the Challenger?
Nice car, an't it? I love it..I love muscle cars in general though. No hate on the Challenger, I just don't think it's going to be worth it's price tag.

RE: What is the expected price for the Challenger?
When you guys say that a car with this much power can easily get away from you, exactly how do you mean that would happen? For example, if you accidentally pressed too far down on the gas pedal, would it accelerate so fast that you'd rear-end another car before you got the car under control again? I for one never tailgate and I never drink and drive. The only serious accident I've had was when it was raining at night and I couldn't see the other car. I love this car but I don't want to die for it.

I think that it would be possible with any car with as big a engine as this car has. Of course there is the smaller engine with the V6 if that worries you..

If you want a safe car for someone of ANY age, get a Volvo. Yeah, I know - the image thing.
The Charger IS a safe car - we got my wife an R/T last spring. It's also a very powerful car (even the 3.5L V6) - one that could easily get away from ANYONE, let alone someone with little/no driving experience in traffic. And yes, it's listed as a large sedan. Size alone doesn't make it safe, nor does it keep you from making poor decisions. The operator behind the wheel makes a car safe or unsafe through the decisions he/she makes.
If the operator behind the wheel makes the car safe or unsafe through there decisions as you said, then why would it matter what car I got?
I knew it all when I was your age too - now my kids know it all and they think I'm a horse's @$$. LOL! If they only knew HALF of what I've forgotten! AND if only I listened to the people that offered ME sound advice when I was thier age, I'd have saved myself a lot of pain, inconvenience, time and money.
I can't imagine why your kids don't like you..
A charger is a pretty big car..and it's not like im racing. I figured the charger would be one of the more safe cars for a person my age.

RE: What is the expected price for the Challenger?
My kids are learning the way I did. If they want something bad enough, they'll work to get it. They appreciate it more that way. When it's THIER time, energy, effort, sweat, and blood invested in something, they tend to take better care of it - because they know what's involved in EARNING it.
I don't recall saying they didn't like me, but that's the kind of assumption I'd expect from a someone your age who's never worked a full-time job, never provided for a family, and never sacrificed of himself to make sure his family had what they need. What I said (in so many words) was "they think they know it all", just like you!
It's comical how people can be brash when behind the comfort and security of a computer monitor, but stand them face to face with the person they're being bold with and the tone changes rapidly.
Several of us were trying to give it to you "honestly". We have years of life experience and hard work. We've made the mistakes you haven't yet. I'm not sure why we were trying to steer you in the right direction, though.......we should have known you'd have none of that. [sm=headbang.gif]
My kids have everything they need, MOST of what they want, but MOST IMPORTANTLY, they have the strength of character and the ability and experience to support themselves (without my financial support) because of the lessons I've taught them, not the things I've bought them. That's something money can't buy.
I'm charged as a Christian Father to teach my children how to live, not sate thier worldly desires. That would only serve to turn them away from God and make them spoiled brats.
Matthew 19:24 ......Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
Luke 16:13 .......No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.
Now, isn't it time to scoot on over to a "Mustang" forum? [sm=hiya.gif]

Please don't even start with the "My kids earn there stuff" thats not even what this thread is about. I didn't ask "What do you think of my dad getting a Mustang, would you buy me one" I assumed someone that posted regularly and at your age could mind his own business and give some advice on the price range. Sadly you have to wonder off into different topics and yell brat, because thats your only defense. And you act like I wouldn't say this to your face or something? You have your own kids and yet your talking about how a 16 year old would be afraid of you? Wow, very nice, sounds to me like you are realll tough.

Okay....This has what to do with the pricing of the challenger? Oh, right, you still haven't came back to topic..

I said I am staying here just to learn a bit more about the car, who are you to try to tell me where I should be? You really have no idea how a forum works, do you?

Hey Skillz - You're going to be hating it when you see everyone posting their new Challengers in a few months! Great looking Stang, though!

Well guys, I'm coming back just to talk about the new Challenger because it's got me excited, but I already got my car.

RE: What is the expected price for the Challenger?
If the 2008 or 2009 Challenger comes in a 6.1 R/T (instead of a 5.7) would you guys buy it or, r spend the extra dollars to get a 6.4 SRT? If you would buy the 6.4, how much more money do you think you would have to spend over the 6.1? $10,000??

RE: What is the expected price for the Challenger?
On the off chance that anyone still cares about the original poster's question, the current 'insider' rumor is that a 6.1 R/T will cost about what a Mustang GT vert costs, or around $31k...
