It looks pretty awesome. If you have 40K to spend on an RT, this is probably the way I would go. If I had 40K to spend though, I'd probably start thinking about an SRT...

If I had $40K, I'd buy another SE outright and make a VERY hefty downpayment on a second.

You'd buy that anemic little V6? When you already have a perfectly good V8? Wait, what's that you say? You mean that Challenger of yours that you always brag about is a lowly SE???? Mind = Blown

Joking of course. We all know you love your SE.

However, you COULD use the 40K to buy the SE, for 25K or so, and then spend the other 15K doing something awesome with it.....like dropping in a crate motor :)
