All that coming from a real GM fan. When I was looking for a newer car for my work, I wound up with a Dodge.
I looked hard but kept coming back to the Charger. I like big cars, so my choices were limited. I kept trying to like the Impala, really, as I was driving an "03, but they just don't have the curb appeal of the Challenger to me. Sorry, Buck!
I found the Charger on Fleabay. It was a one owner, in like new condition with a lot of mods/extras. I got it for a song, especially when you consider the adds: SRT8 hood, 20" wheels and tires, lowering/handling springs, custom rocker plates, paint protector, undercoating, leather treatment, Blue Star headlights and custom floor mats to list a few. It also came factory with the track and performance option as well as everything you could order on the R/T except a sunroof (if you don't include the Daytona or SRT8 editions).
