If you want kick-ass power in this car - go for the SRT8 model.

For $38,000, you can get a stripped down BRAND NEW CORVETTE with 430 HP that will blow the doors off the SRT8 model. Zero to 60 is 4.3 seconds.

Now, I am not on this forum singing the praises of the Corvette. The point is that sometimes, zero to 60 is not the reason for buying this kind of car.

I have had several new Corvettes in the past ten years. They are very difficult to live with on a daily basis. I will gladly sacrifice time from zero to 60 in exchange for a comfortable stylist ride.

The new Challenger has knockout styling, great performance and very comfortable. In a big city traffic, none of us are going anywhere real fast anyway.

I am expecting my 2009 R/T anyday now. I have already driven one and I think the performance is pretty good. I can't wait to drive it everyday. If I am not the first guy to the next red light - I can live with that.
