Those are 2 nice rides. Have you taken the T/A to the track?

I was just going to respond that I have been to the track on a grudge night and was paired up with a SRT8 Magnum 2 years ago. When the tree dropped, the BS stopped and I was the first at the finish line. Of course that was also the personal best that the car has run...13.26. The Hemi was coming on strong and had a trap of 109 mph!!!

Yes, I would like to have one of those sitting in my garage with keys in my hand. No, I would not pay $40K plus. I will go out and find 2 Oldsmobiles and really tick my wife off for that kind of money!!!!

the LS1. Its unreal how they respond to a good set of heads and a bigger cam. My friends 02 T/A just got some more work done to it at Vengeance Racing in ATL. 451 rwhp with a 228/230 cam, fast intake, full exhaust, and a set of TEA heads. This was done though a 3800 converter, built trans and a 12 bolt with 4.11 gears. Car ran a 11.29 @ 119 while toting the left front.

Wow, I saw a 2009 white R/T Challenger with a black leather roof and 5 spoke wheels (20"), and it looked better than any one I have seen yet.

The black leather roof just set it off like it was 1970 again. Got a pic with my phone, will try to post.

the roof is not leather. Its vinyl.

Probably is vinyl, but it looks very much like leather and not the old vinyl. Regardless, it looks killer.
