Any ideas (or anyone in-the-know) on the price of the RT?

 

I've read: ~$34,000 MSRP. We'll know during the NY Auto Show in... April I think it is.

Here's my source: http://www.caranddriver.com/carnews/...nger-srt8.html

 

$34K seems a bit...EXPENSIVE!!! I was expecting $31 or $32K.

 

Me too, exactly. They should keep it priced VERY close to the Mustang GT!!!

 

In relation to the SRT8, it does, doesn't it? Just a $4,000 premium for the SRT8's larger engine, other amenities and larger engine? Who wouldn't just plunk down the extra few thousand and get the SRT8? And a $10k step up from the poser-ish V6 base model? On the other hand, the Challenger R/T pricing of $34k basically mirrors the Charger R/T pre-incentive price of ~$31.5k. I kind of wonder if the R/T will the unloved stepchild; unless Dodge either adjusts the SRT8 price up (likely) or the R/T price down (unlikely) I suspect everyone will go for the SRT8 or get the base model.

 

You're forgetting about the gas guzzler tax. Even at $34k it's still $6,000 less than the SRT-8. And only short by 45hp. I think the opposite. . . The R/T will be the most popular model. That said, something's gotta happen here with pricing. 34k for the R/T is too much and if they move it down to a more realistic 31k, that puts it at $9000 less than the SRT-8. Who is going to pay an extra 9 grand for 45hp?? Either the R/T will get the current 340hp or the SRT-8 will get more horsepower.

Oh well, I'm getting the poserish V6 anyway so I'm not worried about it

Thanks Bootcamp...

2009 Challenger R/T with 5.7L HEMI with VCT / 6 speed TREMEC - $31,545.00

That's more like it!! Where do I sign?!

 

You can also go to Dodge.com and build your own Charger to get a rough idea on the R/T price.

 

That's what I used as a basis for my estimates for the '09 prices for the Challengers.
