My brother's Dodge Challenger Hemi V8 6-Speed came in on Friday and I got to see it and drive it today. Freakin' Sweet! Anyhow here is his thread with his first impressions and pics (from the Challenger webboard).

interesting car. Didn't know you could get it with a 6 speed. How much was it?

It was around $31,000. His is the R/T version. They can get up to $40,000 if they are fully decked out with a lot of options. I believe the 6-speed manual is the same one they put on the Viper.

an SRT8 Charger couldn't pass me little 4-cylinder in the tunnels not too long ago on the way to work at full throttle.

those things are heavy turds.

Nice car... I thought it was wider or something...

I'm not a fan of the Charger at all either. It's just ugly, and I always like a coupe much better than a sedan.

By the way Challenger SRT8 will make the 0-to-60-mph run in less than 5.0 seconds depite being a heavy car. That's a pretty good in my opinion.

(That being said I still like the styling of the SVX better)

while i like it better than the Charger, the Challenger just looks strange to me below the grille/headlights - as if the designer just quit. even the rear lower portion looks unfinished.

just my opinion - what really matters is your brother's, and it sounds like he's enjoying his new ride.
