It’s hard to believe, but the day that many, myself included, have been waiting for is only a few weeks away! The day is coming when the first Production ‘08 Dodge Challenger SRT8 will roll off the line!
The wait is just about over- The first ones should start to hit showrooms by the end of April or early May. Unbelievable!
If you’re one of the lucky few who’s getting an ‘08, congratulations!
I’ve enjoyed being a part of the Dodge blog RLD so far- it’s fun to interact with all of you fellow Challenger fans and hear what your desires are for the ’09’s and beyond.
With the introduction of the ‘09 Challenger Models at the New York Show, many of the questions that you had were answered, in fact some that I had were answered as well. Three models were unveiled,one for every budget and I think we’re all pretty impressed with each of them. Whether it’s a 3.5 V6 powered SE, a new VVT 5.7 Hemi R/T,or a 425 Horsepower SRT8, it seems like Dodge has us covered. My personal favorite of all has to be the optional 6-Speed Manual with a Pistol Grip shifter in the R/T and SRT8’s!
Like I’ve said in many of my comments here on RLD- Keep your comments and suggestions coming!
Even though everyone has their own opinion, one thing thing seems to be pretty much universally agreed upon: We want to be able to individualize our Challengers right from the factory- From all the original Hi-Impact colors, a few at a time, phased in and out, available on all models several times per year, to stripe choices, to special equipment like Hood Pins, Shaker Hood, Tuff Steering Wheel, more wheel choices, Convertible etc.
‘09 Challenger pricing and ordering info should be out sometime in May, so get ready!
So it sounds like they have not started the line just yet....
I also hope that '09 pricing and ordering info is coming out sooner then May.
