Matchbox is still alive and kickin' New Ride

Just picked this up this morning. 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT-8 6.1 HEMI 6-speed. Hmm maybe supercharge it like the old xB.

Anything over 140hp in the xB is a blast...
Starting out with 425hp before adding +125hp with a supercharger is fun...

Congrats on the car. Not my taste for $47k but should be fun off the line. How's visibility, I've driven the new Mustang and it felt like I was piloting a submarine.
