The 2008 Dodge Challenger has finally arrived!

With its ground shaking performance, unmistakable design cues and world-class ride and handling characteristics, the return of the iconic Dodge Challenger brings what pony car fanatics crave! Developed by Chrysler’s in-house performance engineering organization, the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 was engineered with a focus on the five pillars of every SRT vehicle: bold exterior design that resonates with the brand image, a race-inspired interior, world-class ride and handling across a dynamic range, a standout powertrain and benchmark braking.

For 2008, Dodge will be producing only 6,400 models in three distinct colors, HEMI Orange, Bright Silver Metallic and Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl Coat. Each 2008 model will have the same SRT8 6.1L HEMI V8 with 425 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft. of torque that will propell the Challenger from 0-60 mph in the low 5-second range along with a 1/4 mile time of less than 14 seconds.

With an MSRP of $37,995, most (if not all) 2008 Challengers have already been accounted for by customers who put deposits down the first week they were able to. Currently, Chrysler has provided Franklin Sussex Auto Mall with three.
