I actually really like it. I saw one on the highway, and it looked great.

Needs to be a manual transmission.

Here in Miami, they had a $30,000 "market adjustment" I couldn't believe these idiots. In today's economy they want to put a premium on a lower mid level car. They are nuts. Did they not hear that their company is no longer leasing because of the financial crunch, and now they want to charge more for mustang/camaro fighter!?! Crazy!

Yea, but no Orange 2009 6 Speed's. Orange makes the car in my mind although the pistol grip 6 shifter is cool!

Markups aside, I really like it. I took a good, long look at one in the local Best Buy parking lot and talked to the owner for a while. It's really beefy - what I think American muscle should look like. Also, I like the automatic with the SRT motor - it's a good match. To me, the SRT Challenger would be a great short commute, weekend errand, local car show machine. Too bad the dealers are idiots...
