Got a Challenger "Shaker" in today at work

Pretty neat car!

 

Did you put in your order ?

 

If I were to buy a new car..........

 

Well that would be fun I'm sure...... but has modern technology took all the "skake" out of the shaker, new cars ride, drive, and idle so smooth today?

 

Well I put my order in for one of those "Shaker" decals...it was even out of my price range! :banghead3:

 

I can believe that. When I bought my Dodge truck SPORT it did NOT have the word SPORT on the rear of the bed and was shocked what the dealership wanted for two of them. I had to repeat I already had the truck bed. I only need two small silver decals!
Shortly after went to the Tampa State Fair and got them made at a vendor for a decent price.

 

Not sure about the stripes look like a demon stripe,didn't the challenger have good enough stripes in the 70's?

 

There was one of these at the strip last night it was pretty stout.

 

That's nice Dennis and I'm sure it runs strong. But I'm guessing the hood scoop on these is non functional since the cold air box is off to the side and doesn't seem connected? :confused:

 

Shake your money maker

41,000 Who can afford this?:confused: I would invest half the money into a really cool old car myself.

 

Not planning to spend $41k for a new car in the near future, but if I was, it wouldn't be one of these - or a Camaro. For me, the value just isn't there. I look on these retro pony cars as pretty much a current fad thing. The Mustang has been in production the entire time these two were gone, so it has a bit more intrinsic value behind its name. There's also the issue of the usefulness of Challenger/Camaro. What you're getting is essentially a large, 2-seat coupe with very limited visibility, waaay too much performance (unless you settle for the V6 model) and a high sticker price.

There's lots of vehicles out there that I would rather have for that kind of money. Like this one:

The prices for these cars is outrageous. I only paid 40K for my 1st house, a two story with 8 rooms, a 2 car garage with a 1-1/2 in the back yard sitting on two acres.

They actually have 84 month payment plans to make the nut affordable, but the car is worth less than you owe after a couple of years.

 

This is one of very few modern cars that I really like.
In 10 years or so, I will pick one up used for a reasonable price.

 

I think it is a good looking car, not one I am willing to go in debt for it but a nice car. I agree with KK as much as it pains me to say, you can not beat the Mustang as far as bang for your buck goes! One of my friends is a Mustang guy, owns 2 or 3 restored one's and he and I do the whole Ford/Chevy joking thing and when we had this conversation the other day at work all he could do was grin when I said that!

 

To be sure, the Challenger is a good-looking car (and if I had one, it'd be all white with the dual-scoop hood, a la "Vanishing Point"), but if I was fortunate enough to buy a new car, it definitely would be a Mustang.And as far as these high-performance cars go, the Mustang was the only continuously-produced one (even the long-produced Corvette missed 1 year, I think 1981, for the redesign into the third-generation version) in automotive history; but at one point, the Mustang was to have become a FWD platform. Bleeaaahhhh!!!
