We would see a LOT more Challengers if the SRT8 was more like $32k like the SS is. I suspect the SRT8 would've been a lot closer to the SS in price if the SS had come out first. I think Dodge thought they could get away with charging $42k because at the time the Challenger was basically the only game in that part of town. For a number of reasons, it looks like the R/T doesn't cross-shop too well against the SS and 5.0. But now that the 5.0 and SS are out, Dodge either could re-position the SRT8 to try and compete with the GT500 or slash the price. They chose the former.
