   RW> Yeah but, can you live with a V6 in a car like that? What does the same   
   RW> car with a V8 and the 8spd OD get?   
      
   Sure can, unless the dealer were to give me an option to buy gas for the life   
   of the vehicle for $1 a gallon.  :)   
      
   The Chargers and Challengers have two different V8s.  One is a 5.8, and the   
   other is a 6.4.  I believe it is close to 500hp, comes with a $1000 "Gas   
   Guzzler Tax (here in MD)", and doesn't have the 8-speed transmission (yet).   
   The 8-speed is only available in the V6 3.6L models.   
      
   I took a look at them a few days ago, did more looking yesterday and ended up   
   buying a 2012 Charger SXT Plus.  The incentives right now and the lower low   
   rate I can get is too hard to resist.  I also like the idea of having another   
   extra vehicle, especially since my younger daughter wants to work later this   
   year and will be able to get her full license.     
      
   I now have two of my favorite vehicles..  I'm keeping the Monte Carlo and will   
   also have the Charger to drive (and the HD when the weather permits).  I'm   
   set.. :)   
      
   Will have to take some pictures so you can take a look.  I'm going to get the   
   windows tinted the same as I have in the Monte, and also might do a few custom   
   graphics to offset all of the black.
