    Well I have looked around at the dodge dealers here looking for a new 2013 challenger R/T in white and no luck. the only thing I saw were some SXTs and 1 2010 R/T in silver with 15000 miles on it and manual transmission. What I am looking for is a white 2013 R/T with auto transmission with NO stripes and it looks like I can still order a Challenger just the way I want it and that would be a white R/T that I can make into a vanishing Point challenger. I saw a picture of one that had the old challenger script on the front fenders just above the side body line with the R/T below that just like the 70 had it and the old letters that spelled D O D G E on the front of the hood & it looked good.. The R/T classic has the challenger script too low down plus the side stripe. The options they all have are confusing and I am not sure exactly what I would want or need option wise. Those of you who ordered your challenger R/T what options did you get & wish you didn't or didn't get & wish you did ? what about rear axel gearing and differentials what are the options there ? I will drive the car both in town & highway. The R/T is what I want as I don't need the srt8.

    Our local dealer has 2 white R/T's. Both have no stripes. Gotta remember more options more price. If you don't need all the bells & whistles then save some money. If you want loaded, go for it.

    I am in Nevada & the car is in California, are the California cars any different than non California cars in regards to emissions or engine restrictions ? The calif car has a code at the bottom that says California PPA with a sales code of A-66. the dealer here can't tell me & a calif. dealer wasn't helpful.

    I also have a question on the autostick Paddle shifters, what do you guys think of those ? It is something I don't think I would order as I have a bad left hand. there are 2 R/Ts that meet my needs both in calif. one has a sunroof and the one with paddle shifters does not. are the paddle shifters something that would be in the way when holding the steering wheel on long trips or are they out of the way ? I have a limited time to make up my mind because the car in solid white in the R/T is hard to find and need to be driven to Nevada from the SF bay area as it is. sorry to be a pest here but I want to make the RIGHT decision.

    I don't know about the emissions deal, but the if you think you will never use the paddle shifters, as in put it in manual and shift the gears with the paddles, then don't get it. They are not in your way at all, but for you, may never get used. I would go with the other one then that has the sun roof as you may get more use of that then the paddles.

    the dreaded rust belt
    I have two friends with paddle-shift Mopars (one Yellow Jacket, one Super Bee) and both love the paddle shifters. My personal taste leans towards manual but..
