Update on my insurance costs. Between $100 - $300 a year for the 8 cylinder. So the 8 cylinder is back in the hopper.

Fantastic. Going to have to be more patient.

For me at least part of the fun is the hunt but can be hard to stay patient.

Nice. Haven't driven one before but think its best looking of the throwback style muscle cars and sounds great. While its easy to use reason to justify something like the v6 over the v8 for me at least every time I see and hear the v8 I'd think about it. Once the newness wears off the itch will return for what I really wanted.

Think the R/T is the one I was recalling. However looks like they have some crazy new one called the R/T scat pack that has the 6.4 but less expensive than the SRT.

I you want to consider expanding budget a little for something crazy there is a Challenger R/T Scat Pack that has the same 6.4 Hemi from the SRT. Well optioned MSRP on their website is is around 43K at MSRP. 8 speed auto, 485 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque of madness. 0-60 from the usual magazines is 4.2-4.4ish.

That M5 was nearly $100k new and the engine is still a masterpiece. Though the SMG...

Crazy that a new car can offer that much performance for mid 40s.

you don't like the orange look huh? I wouldn't own it - but I'd own the 4 in that weird dark powder blue.

The only time I truly see the M5 shining in the SMG version - is in 3rd around 60 MPH - it absolutely rips in that situation.
