Have you tried going down to your local Plymouth dealer lately?

Yes, I know they could have, but... "Dodge Baracuda" sounds wrong...

Dodge is doing 0.0% apr 60 MOS. OAC and throwing in a 6PK of wife beaters with every new Challenger I hear.

Just need the gold chains and you're set...

Ah yes.... with gas prices heading toward four bucks a gallon and the economy in a slump American automakers are producing $60-70K muscle-cars...

BRILLIANT!

I just finished reading Challenger article in April issue of 'Automobile'. Weight 4,140#'s and get this, ALL 08's will have an open differential no option for posi/limited slip until 09.

That's why I just bought a Camry Hybrid for $26.6K with my inside deal with my brother in law who works at Toyota, USA. I mean out the door at $26.6! I'm getting about 34 mpg, not as good as a Prius, but not bad.

LOL that POS weighs over 800 pounds more than a corvette.

Dodge really IS making a smart play with these cars - from a marketing perspective. The sad part is that there's such a large contingent of people out there to buy into the hype/stereotype in the first place.

Maybe they should include a free pit bull with the cars? j/k.

Gives you some insight into the old joke about the difference between a Porsche & a porcupine, doesn't it? Would be almost equivalent to giving a penis pump with a Porsche, don't you think?

So let me see, you're looking down your nose at a guy with 425 hp from your hybrid Camry? Git 'er done.

That would be 1,140 #s more than a Z06, and 645 more than a turbo. That turbo's looking pretty porky too huh?

Now there's a point well taken.

It is a good-looking car. But out on the road with others vehicles around, gives you a better sense of proportion. Sort of like looking at your 911 in the garage and then seeing it parked next to almost any 'normal' sedan - the 911 looks positively tiny.

The opposite is true with this Challenger. It is the Titanic of sporty cars!

Boy is that the truth. I have a Jeep Liberty, a small vehicle. But in the garage next to the Carrera it looks like a tough guy!!

Honestly, the biggest jerkoffs I see on the road around here, are the drivers of high priced Euro cars that have a sense of entitlement and think they own the road because of the car they drive.

Given the choice of a Pit Bull or a penis pump with my new car, I'm taking the Pit Bull every time!

[Porsche-O-Phile]

You're one of the responsible ones. No problem with that. But you can't deny that there are too many people that get pit bulls as a "fashion accessory" to complement their "tough guy" image and then don't give them the care/attention they need.

At least you didn't say you wanted the penis pump FOR the pit bull. Then I'd start worrying.

I'll let you come try that on mine if you want. He's a pretty understanding dog, but I don't know that I'd want to test him that severely.

Fat pig eh?

R34 vs. R35 (GTR) comparison.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Porsches are even heavier than Corvettes.
