Probably $5-$10K over sticker, like all the other speciality cars, Shelby's, etc....some dealers put up auctions on Ebay of How much OVER sticker are you willing to pay....? Geesh.

Some dealers tried that with our 2003 Mach 1 Mustangs, when they were re-introduced, half the dealers didn't even have a clue about the cars. THEN, they went into 2004 production with them since the demand was so high and many of the people that bought them for investments lost it....since you could get a leftover for Sticker or below after a while. I got X-Plan and a big downpayment on mine, so I was happy!! Just paid it off last month!! :)

All of the allotments for the Hemi/stick version are sold out nation wide from what I've seen. Dealers are already getting $20k-$30k over sticker for these cars. Thats about $70K+ per.

The SRT8 challenger is available in automatic trans only (5 speed) and it sold out within a couple of days of the day that you could order one. I saw my co-workers bill of sale and his cost was around 45k with taxes included. I think it was around $2200 for the gas guzzler tax alone. Yes these cars (contract with dealer) are selling for 20-30k over sticker. My co-worker does not expect to have posession of his car until June.

holy smokes, I guess the recession hasn't hit yet if people are waiting in line to blow 70 g's on a car.

scroll down and look at the factory drag package. That is sweet, probably high 12' s out of the box. Personally I like the cop car Chargers better.
