My main concern with the new Challenger is akin to what happened with the Shelby GT500 mustang - massive price gouging from greedy dealers. This is prevented me from even going to a dealership - knowing there was no room for negociation and I could expect a 15K to 20K dealer fee add on. If this happens with the SRT8 Challenger, I will not buy one - and sad to say, will go back to buying another Audi! Is there any way Dodge can prevent dealers from doing this?
How much horsepower and how much torque will be in the srt8 charger?
Just wondering. Any plans to do a small documentry on the Challenger? I think it would be rather cool to watch the first one rool down the line in Brampton. Also, will Canadian dealers get an opertunity to see the car before the public like you did with the 300c?
