Great car! Thats a brand new color for 2012, only available on the SRT8.
I think that it's Dodge's new version color of Sublime or Sassy Grass Green from back in the day.
Plus the fact the NEW 392 motor for 2012 is pretty cool as well...
Damn, you'd never think I was a Chevy guy! LOL!
Truth be told, I love ALL Muscle cars, new and old.......
Congrats again!
Hey guys, thanks again! Jeff, I seen that the auto top speed is low 170s and the manual is almost 180 MPH. I don't have the balls to get it up there LOL..unless I had a track to do it on. I did 130 on a little 600 cc Ninja...felt the front of the motorcycle lifting off the ground :scared:. Drew, this is the last "special" color of 2011. The 2012s didn't really show too many colors that I liked...there is a cool blue coming soon though, called blue streek pearl. There should be a special color coming late as well...kinda wondering what it is. This color "green with envy" is more limited than they had intended because the Sunami in Japan flooded the plant that was supplying the color. I have a hunch some other kind of green is gonna come later in 2012. I also considered the ZL1 Camaro coming for 2012, which is gonna boast 570 HP with their super charged 6.1. Then the shelby cobra is going to go up to over 600 with theirs. Then I've heard for 2013 that the SRT line is either gonna get a supercharger or direct injection in their 6.4 which should put them in line or over the others. I'd like to have the largest HP stock muscle out there, but this is all I really need. Depending on what they do I'll keep this one until I pass. Only thing I might do is trade in for a direct injection. Something with better gas mileage and more HP. Supercharger is just something that I would need to maintain or worry about over time. Would be fun though!!! Its really cool seeing these car manufacturers stepping up to the plate and offering some cool rides as of late. We skipped SOO many years of fun muscle. Glad its coming back a bit. Thanks again guys for the nice comments, and helping us make a good decision. I LOVE THIS CAR!!
That car is awesome!!! I'd love to buy something like that but I don't have a garage to put it in. I see the plate holder says Olathe? That's not in the Hawkeye State. Great purchase!

Hey Lane, yep, I had to get it from that dealer as it was the only one that had the options I wanted. I don't have room really either. I got a 3 car garage... The Challenger takes one stall...my wifes RAV4 in one stall and little tractor in another...with other lawn equipment. I moved my truck outside now and gonna put a block heater in it. :( Oh well...gotta sacrifice a little, but come the nicer months its not so bad.
looks great man, but then again all mopars look great!
Nice purchase! Good looking Mopar. Mr. Norms garage does a lot of good work if you ever care to modify it.

We were there a week ago as they were turning a new Challenger into a Cuda by changing the 1/4s, etc. We do the interiors for the restoration shop that is owned by the same people. Good to deal with and they know their stuff.

Wow, I see quite a few new Challengers on the road here in LA, but I have NEVER seen that green. And it looks [B][I]stellar[/I][/B]. Great call...enjoy it!
Thanks for all the thumbs guys! I'm gonna take it for a spin tomorrow. Today I programmed the homelink for the garage doors. Also programmed all the preference settings....then watched a little bit of a DVD (Sword In The Stone)to see if it all worked okay. Gonna get it rust-proofed Friday. Then it'll be all set... Lovin' the car!!
Great choice dude!! congratulations.
Hey man, no promlems here LOL... I LOVE THIS CAR! I'd NEVER be disapointed in my decision, it was the right one for me. I had a vintage challenger about 20 years ago and while it was a nice car for its time, I wanted reliability and something I could take my family anywhere in. This car is THE BOMB... I get so many compliments its unreal...I had no idea I would get this many. Its borderline harrasment IMO...but I'm easy going LOL I know it will loose value over time...just like any new car, but I don't ever plan to sell, so that doesn't matter to me.
Thanks again!! :)
