[Animo]

Nice!!! Fingers crossed for you. biggrin2

[VilleV]

I´ve been drooling over these cars lately and I think they are VERY cool!!!:cool: I also like the new Camaro, which I think might be even better looking.

[Pethead]

It's precious! Much more than the Shelby GT500 or Ford Mustang.

At first I was also looking for the new Camaro, but IMO the design is too modern for a muscle car, the Challenger on the other hand, have this classic look and yet is a modern car.

[Pethead]

Have you seen the Chevrolet Camaro Transformers edition? I love it!

The Challenger is only available in USA and Canada, thats why it is all LHD. ;)

That makes it more then 70.000 euros with the taxes and all here in Greece .
I have to find one somewhere in the EU for 40.000 euros with the VAT paid, so I pay only import taxes, plates etc 20.000 euros, total 60.000 euros max

[wreckmaster]

WHAT THE H*LL!?!:eek::eek::eek: Thats not even taxed yet? Thats just bloody expencive!!!

Yup, the 52000 euros price is without taxes....horsepower tax sucks:mad::mad:

Believe me, things are not that easy here also, in each country, people have their own problems, Americans thinks that they pay too much money for their cars, the same cars that we europeans pay from 3 to 5 times up .... the same for gas etc...

[VilleV]

28000 euros is what these cars are really worth, no way 50000 euros or even more! They do look really good but are in no way on same level with some premium brands in quality. Take the interior materials for example...

[.Lefteris.]

That is correct, if finally got mine, I will put leathers everywhere inside, and I have the perfect man for the job (se my esseesse interior) ;)

[wreckmaster]

Those who buys these cars in Norway, dont usually put plates on them because of the taxes. They just buy them and use testing plates every now and then... Many buy them from the US just to sell them on, so they can make a profit... When the cars gets older the taxes gets lower, so in about 10-15 years they will probably get theire first set of Norwegian plates. But still more expensive than new in the US:(

It is not the prices really that makes me like Greece so much, it is more the slow/relaxed way of life in general and the weather and foodlol

[.Lefteris.]

ok here we go, my best friend is a EVO lover and he believes that after the 911 turbo, the best car to have is the new GTR, and this is the only ''problem'' he had, I accept my friends with their ''problems'', but I wont drive a Datsun even if someone give it to me for free lol

x2! I just think that these japanese cars are a bit soulless. Would be nice to try one on a track, that´s for sure, but I wouldnt buy one.

[wreckmaster]

They just look to much like plastic:eek: But in my case it is probably the fast and the furious movies who has done it for me, I just dont like the looks of them! But as Ville said, probably a lot of fun on the track:icon_thumleft: And there is no doubt that they are real quality cars:)

[Kertallica]

That's what I meant for that car, it would be impractical for everyday use lol I bet it would be fun to keep it on the track let alone drive it lol

[.Lefteris.]

Ok here we go, at first I was on the Red or the Orange one, now and after this video I believe that the black is THE color for this car.
Please check it out and let me know what you think
This is the black one
http://www.oncars.com/video/237/Dodge-Challenger-SRT8-Ultimate-Test

and this is the Orange one

[Stormi]

Black: Beautiful, mean, clean, fighting machine. Not the best colour to keep
clean, but " a real man´s " colour ! :cool:

Orange: Love the stripes and the original paintstyle from the 60`s ! Also
this car can be seen from the rest !!!

Retro in it´s best ;)


I would go for the orange ! ( cause I have allready a blck one ).

[ewandougie]

Orange all the way, with the black stripe down the middle :-)

[wreckmaster]

Orange is absolutely the best looking IMO! I like it because of the same reasons I love the 500, because of the retro style in it = Orange:icon_thumleft:

[.Lefteris.]

Thanks guys, I would like to know what our fine ladies think about it also :)
I still believe that the black one is the bad a$$ one and like our friend Stormi say
'' Black: Beautiful, mean, clean, fighting machine. Not the best colour to keep
clean, but " a real man´s " colour ! :cool: ''

[Stormi]

The colour you choose doesn´t matter as long as it´s black :cool:

Thanks to our friend Kevin Big Panda I got my new Challenger SRT8, I've just send the deposit to US and waiting for delivery! :),
Here is my new baby

[wreckmaster]

:congrats::congrats: that car looks so nice :) How long before you get it delivered in Athen? It's even got the right color ;) I bet the wait will feel like forever? Is it brand new from a dealership?

[VilleV]

It looks simply stunning!!! Congratulations! Is it red or orange? Because I cant quite figure that out from the pics!

[.Lefteris.]

Thank you both, it is the red one! :)

About 2 to 2 1/2 months with customs and all in order to get the Greek plates, the car will be here in about 45 to 55 days! :(

[navy48]

Do you work at the dealership Big Panda? The car is looking so gorgeous:)

YES, and YES....YES, I work at the dealership in their Wholesale Parts Center and YES, the car IS gorgeous......I'm soooooo jealous! biggrin2

NOW he has TWO of my favorite cars: a 500 Abarth and an SRT-8 Challenger. :rolleyes:

I told him that it still has that "new car smell" inside. Well, that was until I farted in it. I wonder if it will still be there in 2 1/2 months when it's unloaded in Athens? :eek: :p

[navy48]

I've never heard of O'brien Dodge (it must not be near me.

We're located on the southside of Indy in Greenwood Indiana. Tom O'Brien Chrysler has been in business in Indy since 1933. Started out at Chrysler-Plymouth-Desoto and has just rolled with the punches as Chrysler Corporation has changed.

We have two Mopar locations: "Northside" (Chrysler-Jeep) on the northside of Indy and "Greenwood" (Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge), as I said..on Indy's southside. We also have a Toyota-Scion store but that's another forum. :rolleyes:

You lucky guy will probably get a really good price on the A500 when it gets to the US.... Here in Norway they dont even sell the Abarth, just the standard 500:)

Hopefully you will see the Challenger again in Greece at some 500fans meeting in the future:icon_thumleft:

English cows on the other hand are good for leathers, thats because the English cows are mad and smell nice! :D

Nah, most exclusive leather comes from the Nordic countries. Reason is that there are no barbed wire fences around the fields where cows pasture, and therefore there are no holes in the leather!:roflmfao: True story...

This morning me and my boys went to Sweden for some shopping(40min drive) and we ended up buying a large pack of Gyros meat:icon_thumleft: Love the stuff, but actually never made it my self so I am not sure how to make it tough..... Lettuce, feta, tomato, onion and olives in a pita maybe:icon_thumleft:
Offcourse I also bought some car shampoolollol And root beer(we dont have that in Norway):) First time for the Bravo outside Norwaylol

Sorry for the:OFFTOPIC:

Gyros is like Greeks, you can find one everywhere lol

[wreckmaster]

Even in Sweden:eek:

[VilleV]

Simple recipe for gyros: gyros meat, red onion, tomatoes, tsatsiki and french fries wrapped into a pita bread.

I´ve just noticed that this kebab place right in my neighbour has started to sell gyros also!! I´ll have to test it as soon as possible! All tough their price seemed to be 5,50 euros, when in Greece they cost 2-2,50 euros a piece... Maybe this price will stop me from getting fat!:D

And sorry about off topic...

I don't want to spoil the surprise, but it's kind of like when "Elvis" show was over, they would announce "Elvis has LEFT the building...." :D

In this case, the "Challenger has LEFT the building...." lol

Next week will be on board for Greece! :icon_thumright:
I would like to thank again our ''Big Panda'' for all the hard work in order for me to order and finally got this car :thanks2: Kevin

And such a beautiful colour!!! ;)

Congratulations, Finally the beast is home!:cool: How did it feel and what was it like to drive? Expectations met? Tell us the first impressions!

[wreckmaster]

:congrats::champagne::champagne: Lefteris:icon_thumleft: It looks amazing:) How is it in the streets of Athens? Does it feel big? The color looks very good also:icon_thumright:

[Pethead]

¡Congratulations Lefteris! I think this is, in my opinion, the most beautiful car of your collection. It's really, really precious! I love it! :icon_thumleft:

[.Lefteris.]

I bring it home from the customs last afternoon and I don’t have number plates yet, so I only test it up to 100mph on my way home and it drives perfect, more photos and impressions on weekend !
Now, about the look. it was the first one I see in the real life, yes I buy a car from the photos, this is not the first time for me (the first one was the first FWD Alfa Spider and yes it was the first one in Athens Greece as this one)
The car I was told that it is large, well it is not large, it is huge.... biggrin2 thanks God it fits in my garage! :)
It drives like a dream and the power is always there, the seats are not a car seats, they are more like a chesterfield biggrin2
The build quality is the typical American one, the materials are good but the build quality is not up to Porsche or Mercedes standards.
The interior design is very base and I like it this way on a muscle car, it has all the electronics that you can imagine but still in the right amount and it is ergonomically correct!
The factory paint job on the other hand is the worse I have ever see on a new car, I have to deal with this asap.....
Now, how others see you on the road and their comments is something new even for me, there is no Porsche or Ferrari at this time that receive so much attention as this car did!
If I have to describe this car with two words?.... its a Rock Star car all the way..and for this and this along, it is the best car I ever had! :icon_thumright:

Thank you all :)
