I saw a new Dodge Challenger today in a show room. It look really cool, it was black on black.

The They wanted $53,000 for it- $43,000 for the list price, taxes etc and a $12,000 market adjustment addition to the price!!!!!
-
I want one, but of course in Dukes Of Hazard colours. A modern 01 General Lee!
-
That was a Dodge Charger, not a Challenger.
-
that looks great! my dad had a '70 'Cuda in that same color.
-
You're totally right. I know all the differences and I even have some Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth/hemi books at home. I always confuse the Charger and Challenger names and I think the orange colour helped a bit...
They have to make a new Charger too! Or do they?
-
See how cool orange and chrome are!

They do make a Charger but it is a large 4 door sedan based off the Chrysler 300
-
An orange/chrome T-bird would be nice!
I like the Chrysler 300. A real mafia car. I'll search for some pics of the Charger.

The market adjustment is just to keep the riff-raff out. But it reminds me of the days when I was selling Toyotas in the mid-eighties. I sold the first Targa-roofed Supra in the Chicago area. Full list price (no market adjustment). The commission on that one sale was like an extra month's pay. Those were the days! Right now I could use the comission on a $12,000 market adjustment. (Actually I'd probably just use it to buy more bass gear.)

I like the retro looks of some cars. The Challenger really looks like a real old Challanger. Same with the new Mini Cooper, Fiat 500 and some other nice American Muscle cars.
This Charger looks great, but not really like the old one:

I really love the sound of a '62 Ferrari V12 engine. That's just sophisticated art. Jazz music maybe? A Telecaster through a clean Twin?
But I love the flushing-the-toilet-sound of an American V8 better:) It's just like a Les Paul through an overdriven Marshall!
-
What's really cool is a lot of the police stations around me are adding Chargers to their fleets. It's an intimidating police car in black, unlike some places that switched to 6 cylinder Chevy Impalas

Wow! I also loved the old rear wheel driven Impalas.
This is something else than the Dutch police Volkswagen Golfs and Opel Zafiras!
-
No I meant the last Chevy Impala which was a midsized front wheel drive V-6 rental/fleet car

-
I understood that. But I just meant I liked the old one!
An Impala just has to have a V8.

That's what ya call "dealer markup". They're just charging whatever the market will bear. I was looking at an '07 Shelby GT (not the GT500) which is basically a Shelby-tweaked Mustang GT. They wanted $45,000 for a $39,000 car! I ended up ordering an '08 Mustang GT and did my own mods. Less than 32 grand and some "sweat equity" later, my car will smoke a Shelby GT.

Nice car! (again) :) I love comp. stripes over the hood and roof, but your smaller ones below the doors are classy too.
-
I was going for a 65-67 GT look. They had the rocker panel stripes. I like the over the top stripes too, but they're a little... over the top! I bought a set of white ones, but decided the silver would look better.
