2008 dodge challenger

kenneth · February 11th, 2008, 12:30 PM

according to edmunds.com it don't appear that the new challengers are much of a threat for our cars.
they claim mid 13's for the 1/4.
6.1 liter hemi @ 425 HP 4200lbs.

Regency 2007 · February 11th, 2008, 12:53 PM

I'll race a 425hp challenger with my 300hp mustang gt anyday. I'm not impressed by the new challengers like everyone else is

Emay · February 11th, 2008, 12:57 PM

It's not the stock product that is the threat, it's the pluthera of power that can be had easily via modifications.

Also, if the plan pushes through for the SRT versions, you can bet we are in the dog house in the s-197 stock bottom end world.

The car is eye catching, they did right this time unlike the years past.

I have about 10 photos from the chicago auto show I can post up later tonite.. I have to admit, I'd like to own one..

I thought the 425hp 6.1L was the SRT version???

Emay · February 11th, 2008, 01:05 PM

Not according to show documentation.. (not that things can't be misprinted, but SRT documentation reads 510hp with the 6.4 hemi.. Rather than the standard 6.1)

According to their website you can build your own. Price starts at $40,000 and the only vehicle offered is the SRT 8 which has a 6.1 engine with 425 hp. I really like the way they look too. They did alot better job with this then the GTO which looks like a cavalier.

06RedfireGT · February 11th, 2008, 01:12 PM

They look really good, but they are absolute pigs. 4200lbs for a 2door coupe is unacceptable. An S197 with 425chp would smoke a Challenger.

stanglifemike · February 11th, 2008, 01:13 PM

Yea, I heard that the only thing available the first year woud be the SRT8 version. Which would have the 425 hp 6.1

The GTO was made by GM, the Challenger is Mopar.

I don't care if it weighs 3 tons... I gotta have one.

06VistaGT · February 11th, 2008, 01:15 PM

I think they look awesome, wouldn't mind owning one. We'll just have to wait and see how badass the srt8 will be, will still probably really expensive though.

Like I said, right there with you..

kenneth · February 11th, 2008, 01:18 PM

I think they are nice cars too, Just not a fan of dodges.
had one Never again.

1FastFox · February 11th, 2008, 01:19 PM

Look nice, just not my cup of tea...

06RedfireGT · February 11th, 2008, 01:21 PM

Like I said before, they look good but I just couldn't deal with 4200lbs. Being that heavy with IRS, it would take alot to beat a blown GT.

Just a few bolt-ons will beat the challengers.

06RedfireGT · February 11th, 2008, 01:27 PM

I think it would be a good race stock for stock. The GTs can run a 13.5 with a good driver stock.

06VistaGT · February 11th, 2008, 01:28 PM

the challenger reminds me of the the GTO mindset or idea, just wayyyyy better looking.

Never buy the first year product. The gt500 is a classic example of that, and the KR will be another.

Let the big money schmucks get them early, deal with all the bugs, weather the first year hit, and then buy an 2009 or 2010 in mid 09..

06VistaGT · February 11th, 2008, 01:39 PM

That is too true, i clearly remember the gto upgrade after the first yr. Did they have a price estimate for the srt8 yet?
