I am a future challenger owner but am undecided which way to go. I have been really interested in
the 09 180 se with the 255hp but have recently found a NEW UNUSED 08 se with 215hp for $16,995.
A big difference in price but what difference in performance will i find. What performance will I lose with the 215hp compared to the 255hp? Is it a big enough difference to justify $8,000.00 more in price. What issues did the 08 180 challenger have that the new 09 180 might not have. I really had my mind made up with the 09 180 but i also dont want to spend more than i have to. Is the savings on the 08 180 enough? Is 40 more hp worth the extra money or is there more to the 09 that i have not seen? Any suggestion will be very helpful.
