Maybe only 30k and cheap aftermarket parts. You find that a downgrade?

when you were saying you have to have a V8, I'm saying strictly from a performance standpoint, The 4.6 Gt is a downgrade from the LS1. The LS1 has more horsepower, more torque, and probably just as much aftermarket support for an engine with over a litre more displacement.
If you're having mechanical trouble and need a daily driver, then yes, go for the GT. But let me ask you this, is two doors a must? You can probably find chargers, magnums, and 300Cs with the 5.7 hemi in that same price range from '05-'07. Maybe even for a little more get a 6.1 SRT, 425 hp/ 425 torque. The V8 challengers from '08 seem to still be going for $30k + though.
