Hey guys, just found this great site and decided to join. I've been asking LOTS of questions about a few different cars, so I'll probably ask too many about the SRT-8, but I take car buying as a pretty big decision (long term).

I am going to test drive SRT-8 next weekend, the LAST test drive befre i buy something..TBSS and GTO are other options. I know the SRT-8 is a little more pricey, but it seems like a car that will shine and last for a good 5-8 years right?

They have Silver in stock, so we'll see.

I myself had the GTO and was not impressed. I couldn't wait till the lease was up... the TB SS gets ripped a new one performance wise (stock vs stock). Once you drive the JEEP SRT8 you will be in heaven...plus you get a nav (optional) and some other perks the other 2 don't offer.... not to mention the exclusivity factor and the what the hell just beat me factor...lol.
May the force be with you....choose wisely.

yeah 30k for the GTO doesnt seem worth it when compared to the SRT8. I see the invoice is listed much lower than the MSRP. What kind of payments are you all making? Any 0% deals? I can barely understand their website.

I think payments depend on your credit and down paymnt plus final price of the car...also buying or leasing....
safe bet i think would be in the 600's a month generally...give or take.
Just my opinion...relax all you HATER-ADE drinkers out there...:D

Running gear 80 @ 3k
Gas mileage But all of your choices are pigs on gas
Not very good for towing(who cares)
And the addictive take off from every light. <<< Not so negative.

Also I have held off a well modified GTO till 105 MPH
And the TB SS Can not compete stock vs stock in a straight line. Or in any way on a road course.

That's what I figured. I am heading to see a silver one and test drive it this weekend. Hopefully they come down near 39k when we bargain. I'm not paying 50 grand for ANY SUV...I'd rather buy the C6. I say 40 tops and we may have a deal.

Yeah, i'm sure it's 6's either way. The money you would've saved would've been put right back into mods, right! :)
