I dont like the idea of buying a first year production car either. I personally would wait till they work out all the problems that are sure to come up with in the first year. It's not a bad car, but even the best have problem the first production year. It's impossible to plan for everything when building a car. I personally am going to buy the new Camaro but I'm going to wait till it's 2nd to 3rd year in production. This way the car will be cheaper, most problems will be fixed, and most likely have more opinions available. Maybe a bigger motor too

Not worth it imho, I know some dealerships are giving about 25k for evo 9s in stock form...might be better of parting out, putting to stock, then selling it to carmax or something and using that check for the SRT.

I love the challenger, but I would not buy an SRT-8....

The V6's are out and they look dang near the same. The mid level is on its way.

In 6 months you'll be able to buy the Challenger way cheaper than now.

And... how many evos have you seen this week? How many challengers?

Overheard at a car meet two weeks ago (by a new challenger owner) "I got this car to be unique! There are 4 other ones here, 3 of which are the same color as mine!"

There were two evos (an IX MR and my X) at the meet.

Evo = rare always

Challenger = common as a new mustang in a year

I kind of like the look of the SRT8 Challangers, but driving them feels like you're in a boat. It feels much bigger than it looks when you drive them. Plus, like someone said, you see so many of them now(at least here in Detroit you do)
