By the way, Charlie, congtats on the 2008 Bullitt. I liked it an awful lot when I saw it at the 08 Detroit International Auto Show. You couldn't get too close to it at the time, though. Have had the opportunity to see it up close since then and it really looks nice. I'm sure it's a fun car!

Talking

Actually the 6 speed manual is the way to go, it does away with the variable displacement aspect of the 5.7 hemi, all 8 are on all the time.

Thanks Mike They are close to end of their production at 7700. Anyone who wants one should act this year. Later I think they will be only available used.

Default Challenger

I think those vehicles are the closest to "retro" in terms of size from the late 60's Challenger, good or bad. The Camaro is also going to be a big hit, but the Challenger is hot.

You will be able to pick up a current R/T model in a couple of years in the early $20's and skip the ADM. A LOT of car for the $$$.

Have a great Labor Day weekend guys.
