you could prolly get a nice chunk of change off the SRT8.
i just wish they had nicer interiors...

I thought about getting a Challenger. Ever since I saw the first concept pics, I've been salivating for a chance to have one of these cars. But a funny thing happened on the way to owning a Dodge: I changed my mind!

The biggest reason is because, from reading the reviews, the Challenger is not gonna be much different from my current ride, a Mustang GT. Big, powerful engine, but not much handling to speak of and plenty of weight dragging it down. Why would I want more of that?

I'm sick of that!

Then I see the 370Z. The clouds part, the sun shines and I know that *this* is the car that I need, not the Challenger. I've owned a Z in the past (well, two of them, but one I only had for a week before some idiot destroyed it when he failed to do what the sign told him to!), so I'm not such a stranger to the line.

But this one... this Z... mama mia, it's a-perfecto!

Buy the Z and turbocharge/uprate it. Then, for the same money as a Challenger you have a turbocharged Z - you said it was power you wanted...
