well i just like the price better and the looks. i like the 09 challenger better then the 08 because all the 08's are automatic and the 09 will introduce the stick w/ a pistol grip shifter

that thing is like 80k and a 40k challenger is running with it. i just watched a video where it got owned by a z06that was like 20k less. ford is capable of great machines, its the price that needs help

One thing that everyone fails to recognize is the reliability of the vehicle. If you look at any car magazine (motor trend, hotrod, etc., they all say that Dodge vehicles are junk. The average score for reliability, on a scale of 1 to 10, is 4.5 for Dodge. Ford mustang reliablity is 8.5. Even the high end Chargers RT packages are falling apart after two or three years. You get what you pay for.

sorry man, i like the supersnake if it was 45-55k. for 80k, thats ridiculous. figure thats a zo6 with 15-20k to play with, thats a viper, thats a challenger and 40k, thats a camaro and 40k. its overpriced man. way overpriced.

I like th Challenger to Vp I think its a great looking car. I would get a green or bright orange one pistol grip car for sure. I think its great the big 3 are in middle of a muscle car war and bring back all the retro cars. Not that I would trade my stang for a peg legged challenger though. That would be my first mod if I had one would be a straight axcel under rear with gears

lots of resto mod car out there

PT cruiser
charger
challenger
prowler

chevy has that ruck that looks like its from the 40's
crapmaro coming out soon
that car that looks like the pt cruiser

Mustang

80K is not sticker for the supersnake, I think That price is inflated just like all the other variations of the new shelby's. Just the fact that people will buy it for that much tells you how good of a car it is. If you go on ebay you will see all the challegers even SRTs going for sticker. Thats cuz they cannot get a dime over MSRP. I dont want to say junk but.....
I do like the looks of them though and I wouldnt mind having one next year when the manual trans comes out.

except a z06 for almost 20k less handed it its ass and that challenger ran with it, for 40k less. ford makes good vehicles, just not for the price. i hate to say it but the gt will get wasted by the new camaros coming out too. if the supersnake 2as 50k it would be a good car, gt500 for like 40k good car. its like when for keeps up with gm performance wise they want 30% more in price. sorry man, supersnake=fail.

just googled it 72k msrp
