Well see, I stand corrected. They could be testing the engine in the Challenger....sort of.
What I'm seeing is that maybe 08 is a bad year to get the Challenger, other then it's going to be very expensive. Engine wise, it looks like the people that get the 08 may just get screwed over because new engines are coming out in 09. Granted this information is from a truck website, but being that the 5.7 is the same in the car as it is in the truck, other then the car looses some power, then I'm sure this is going to be the same thing in the cars, changes to the engines.

Some new powertrain information has also come to light.
At a recent industry conference in Traverse City, Michigan, Frank Klegon, Chrysler's executive vice president of product development, reiterated earlier statements that Chrysler is focused on producing advanced engines for all its vehicles, including the Ram.
Mr. Klegon highlighted, "A significantly upgraded version of the renowned 5.7-liter HEMI V8 with gains in fuel efficiency, refinement, horsepower and torque, will debut in the 2009 model year."
It's rumored part of the HEMI power boost will come from the addition of variable valve timing and a bump in displacement.
