G8 GT or GXP. The only way I might purchase a new Charger SRT8 is if I could get one for < $30k....even then, I'd rather forego the add'l 155hp in favor of an 08 AV6. (I really do not like ANY Chrysler product. The C-SRT8 is definitely one of the fastest pieces of crap on the road.)

On the flipside, the G8 grows on me everytime I drive past my local Pontiac dealership. It is definitely one of the few shining stars from GM aside for Caddy and the C6.

As would I, but this isn't about muscle coupes. This is about competing american high performance sedans.

I think you all know my answer

and besides, its the only one that comes in a manual transmission. And because of that, for me, there really is no comparison.

Off topic but, the Mustang GT owns this category IMHO.

if they came back with the Plymouth Barracuda or even if they had a Chrysler Barracuda, I would get that instead of the Challenger. i've always like the Barracuda name.

G8 GT hands down. The car goes fast, stops fast, and turns fast. And to top it all off, it's built way better than the Dodge. And from what i am hearing, Australia doesnt have the strict pain regulations that the USA has, so the paint is of much better quality and more durable.

So, if this were a poll: G8 GXP 100%, Charger SRT-8 0% (thus far anyway)
