I think RUBBERBNDMAN was referring to the SE. As in, if you're looking to compare the $40K Vette to a $40K Challenger, you'd better be talking about the SE, because the dealers want $60K+ for the SRT8s.

But your premise of SRT8s being overpriced because you can get a Corvette for $40K has limited merit. If everbody here was shopping based purely on performance, then maybe you'd have a point. But if point A to point B time is your only concern, buy a motorcycle.

I am buying a Challenger because it fits what I want from a car. I like the looks, I like the size, I like the power and I like Dodge. The Corvette is too small for me. I have no interest in it at any price. Others here prefer the looks of the Challenger, or the HEMI, or the history or some other reason. A price reduction on the Corvette may sway a few potential SRT8 buyers, but not as many as you think. And certainly not as many among those who frequent Challenger entusiast message boards.

You've heard of "preaching to the choir?" Well, you sir have brought the wrong sermon!
