Dodge's all-new Challenger SRT8 will be shown publicly for the first time on February 6, 2008 at the Chicago Auto Show. Dealers began accepting orders on Monday, December 3; more than 4,300 SRT8s were ordered by customers the first day, and more than 6,000 people have made deposits with dealers since orders opened.
The Challenger SRT8 is powered by a 6.1-liter HEMI V-8, and features a numbered dash plaque, and dual “carbon-fiber” hood stripes that harken back to the original Dodge Challenger. It will also come with a five-speed automatic with Autostick (look for a manual version in ’09).
According to Dodge PR specialist Kathy Graham, “The 2008 model year is a limited run model year and deliveries of those vehicles will start in the spring of 2008. If dealers are telling customers delivery will be in 12 to 15 months, they are not talking about the 2008 model year vehicles with the limited edition dash plaques."
The limited run has not been specified but will be under 10,000 cars, according to Graham.
