What I have been told is that the challenger srt8 will only come in a 6.1 hemi with a 6spd manual. The great news is that we were told that the base price would be $37,420, there will also be 3 srt option groups just like the charger. I am in Fort Wayne, IN fwi. Also, there will be no 3.5L v6 right away, just a 5.7L and 6.1 in the srt. Plans are according to our district manger is to release a base level with a 4.0 (same motor as nitro) in 2-3 years to increase volume.
Hi, welcome to the forum!!!
Are you sure the 6.1 will be the SRT engine? I was told about a month ago that the first Challengers released would be Challenger R/Ts with 5.7 MDS / Automatic Transmissions, followed by Challenger R/Ts with 6.1 / Manual Transmissions. Also was told the SRT8 would be released as a 2009 model with a "larger" Hemi... Info is from a Dodge salesman who chatted with a district rep...
Lots of conflicting information, even from "Dr Z" replies...
Thanks again for any & all info!
