There is no reason to hate the dealers. It's the consumers that are at fault. If they would not pay the markup, then markups would not exist. They are in business to make money. I say shoot all the idiots that drive the prices up.

I like it, not outright love, but I do think its sharp. I dont need a new daily driver, but Id go ahead and take one in auto for the wife. She hasnt cared for it since I first showed her anything, and we just got her a new ride... Oh well...

That's a little heavier that I thought it would be. I figured around 3800 lbs.

There are 3 options on the car available to order:

1. A tire upgrade (not sure why ?)

2. A power sunroof/moonroof

3. MyGig navigation with kicker sound system

Most people have ordered all 3 like myself. All of the first runs will be orange and then they will build black and silver in the following weeks.

They are porky, similar to an SRT-8 Charger, 300, etc. My folks have the Charger, nice car, runs well for it's size and weight. At the track with 1/4 tank and dad (250) lbs it was 4400.

I will wait until they offer a manual and OR the 6.4L.
