So $38k..

I am guessing $60k with markup.

Black, Silver and Hemi Orange to start. That is pretty good - considering that they are only making 5500 for 2008.

Yea I'm sure for the initial 2008 year where its limited release, then as soon as they release the other models and everything you will see them drop to normal pricing for the most part.

Kinda negates the statement "...2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 will deliver the SRT credo of benchmark performance at a tremendous value."

Like SonicGT said, hopefully the mark-ups will come down beyond 2008 as the rest of the line-up is rolled out. Early on, however, I could see the mark-ups even higer as this is the ONLY model Challenger available.

Remember, the mark-ups on the Shelby 500's were probably as much to do with the "Shelby" name as well as the increased HP, other goodies and the limited production but there were other standard Mustangs available also. For the initial run of Challengers, it is SRT or nothing. I have always commended Dodge SRT owners for using their cars (if not also "abusing" them at the track) and I hope that continues with the first Challengers. I hope we get to see some of them on the road!

Sorry but, dealer mark-ups are a bunch of sh*t.

I think the car is cool but, $40k+ for that car seems a bit steep.

I agree, dlr markup sucks, but unfortunatly thats a way of life...40k is what i paid for my WS6 brand new back in 02 but that was out the door. Plus I would wait at least 1 year for them to get all the bugs out of a brand new car model.
