RE: New Challenger Badge?
I think what they are refering to is the SRT line. I know they said Super Sport, but they are not the most accurate outlet when it comes to concept vehicles. Either that or they were getting the Camaro and the Challenger confused. If anyone knows about a supposive Challenger SS concept, please tell me.

RE: New Challenger Badge?
I just looked around on the Internet and found nothing about it. If I remember correctly the declaration of the SRT version of either the Caliber or Charger came out before the car was actually released. It wouldn't be the first time this has happened. I doubt the existence of an SS model, but I will be pleasantly surprised if they do offer such a model.

RE: New Challenger Badge?
Unless, they are really messed up, I do not think they are gettting it confused with the Camaro since the whole article has to do the the Hemi and Nitro.
The Semi show is on Oct. 31 - Nov. 3, 2006 and so in 5 weeks we will know what there plans are for sure on a SuperSport version.
I kinda excited and curious about what Dodge has up their sleeve......maybe nothing but we'll see.
IL Insider: Hemi-Powered Dodge Nitro Charges in to SEMA
Date posted: 09-22-2006
SAN DIEGO — Dodge is preparing two hot-rod versions of its new Nitro SUV for the annual fall SEMA show in Las Vegas, including a Hemi-powered edition with 22-inch wheels and tires.
A Dodge Challenger Super Sport concept also will be unveiled at SEMA, but Chrysler declined to provide details.
Senior Design Manager Dennis Myles said Dodge will install a modified 5.7-liter Hemi V8 in the first SEMA Nitro, as well as a Tremec five-speed gearbox, Brembo brakes and 22-inch Alcoa wheels.
The idea, Myles said, is to create "an all-out performance" version. "We want to stir up and stimulate thinking about the Nitro," he said.
The Hemi-powered SEMA Nitro will be painted in black-purple metallic, with a two-tone black and slate-gray interior, according to Myles. A lower aero body kit will include new fascias, wheel arches and side sills. The cabin will sport four bucket seats from the Viper.
A second Nitro conversion — both are being done in-house — will be a white Mopar-themed panel wagon with special graphics on the sides. The rear seats will be removed and a sliding load floor installed to accommodate surfboards and other large gear.
What this means to you: The Nitro Hemi sounds like fun, but we're more interested in the Challenger SS "concept of the concept."

RE: New Challenger Badge?
So it isn't a place were they only bring offical concepts and models. It is just a place for people with an imagination.
