That I believe, will be the approximate age range of the Challenger buyer, give or take a few years. The fact that baby boomers have thus far been historically the wealthiest, doesn't mean they aren't entering the twilight of their working careers where they've already had their toys, and are now becoming cheap in preperation for retirement, its a natural cycle. The only reason baby boomers are currently the wealthiest is a natural factor of an increasing standard of living. Its the same way that new movies keep generating more money and bigger audiences every year. And in 20 years, you'll be able to read all about how generation X is the wealthiest, then They'll be replaced in time. As far as me wasting my time watching BET, don't hold your breath. I'm sure rappers will rent Challengers to have as props in their videos, just like they've been doing with supercars. Then when the cameras stop rolling, it will all be taken away just like with MC Hammer in the Geico Commercials. Life comes at you fast.

This is a car for a young person who has a good job, not some crackhead wanna-be, or some cheap old fahrt." Actually Madcapp statistically on average the Baby Boomer generation is the wealthiest generation today. Compared to other age groups middle age and younger people 18-29. That's also just common sense. I also bet that the average age of someone purchasing the Challenger will probably be somewhere in the mid to high 30's or even lower 40's. I'm also sure a lot of middle age people will also be buying this. Way more than younger people. And the younger people that will be buying this will probably be those that do have a good job, or want one just because it's the latest car out. I also bet that the rappers will probably be buying this and throwing some 20's or 22's on this very quickly. Stay tuned to BET to see how many of these are going to be in their music videos. They loved the Charger, so they'll love the Challenger. But yeah there will be those younger cars enthusiasts that will want to buy it if they can afford it. Probably the lower priced R/T and base models. “Nah, the baby boom generation is getting old and cheap.

In 05 it got the LS2 with 400hp and a split dual exhaust. Then 06 really just had new taillamps. I saw them sticker on the lots between 35k-28k with rebates and employee discount. But if you ask me the GTO was priced at a bargain. Granted it's a heavy Goat, and it was still a little higher priced then the Mustang GT that has 100hp less but cost 5k less. My buddy has one and loves it. Seeing that the Challenger has 425hp and is costing around 38k four year later then when the GTO first came out it's probably about the same. cost wise that is. Bolex: When the GTO came out it had an MSRP of like 33k and the 04 model was the first year with the LS1 making 350hp. In 05 it got the LS2 with 400hp and a split dual exhaust.

Take a look at the wheel picture and see how the front nose piece fits to the sheetmetal fender near the top. Take a look at the rear trunk picture, note how the lower black inset pieces, under the orange paint, are off? Whoever set this car up for PR purposes should have his or her ass fired!
