RE: 2007-2008 GT500 vs 2009 Challenger
My local Dodge dealer said he would call me when the first one came in.I drove a 73' Challenger 340 rallye back in 88',Senior year.I loved that car and learned how to drift in it before drifting was cool.I happened to be in my POS 74 F-100 at the Dodge dealer as he told me what a bad **** the new Challenger was.Not knowing I had a GT500 at home I told him I would like to see if the new owner would like to stage a race when it got here as i had another new car that he should have bought at home.This was all in jest as i didn't want to be an ******* at the Dodge dealer.
I'm really happy that Dodge brought it back as a 2 door!I was really pissed when the Charger was brought back as a damn 4 door!My first car was a 68' Charger and I was eagerly awaiting the new ones release,Especially after they blasphemed the Charger name on so many turds,Cordoba in the 70's,Omni 024 in the 80's.At least it has a real engine in it now.
Here's to smokin' some fool in one on the street as soon as possible!

lets hope the challanger is lighter than the charger was, that thing is so smooth to drive, but the weight is really a turnoff...just my 2cents

I saw a 2008 Orange SRT8 up close and personal and I liked but was not in AW like I was when I first saw the GT500, The Challenger also sits to high and the roof line is too high IMO..........Next years 6 speed std. will have the 3.73 gears I am told

Next to the challenger and the hamburgler, no contest, the mustang looks he best by far.I just wish they would add some decent cubes already. Dodge does like 5.7/6.1 and GM will be big too, itd be nice for the shelby to get around 6 litres.

yes, dodge has never been good on the interior...the seats are awesome but the steering wheel and dashboard are too plain...
I saw one at Starbucks the other day and talked to the owner and he showed me the car....it's nice...but I would rather have the Shelby....or even a GT for that sake.... I don't like sharing a dashboard with the avenger...

stoped in at Tucson Dodge today, they have 6of them on their lot...holy *****, guess they think we are fools. YUP $75,000 dollars! biggest markup i have ever seen. then the salesman told me it beats the 500 hands down as he pulled last month motortrend out of his back pocket. i was kinda shocked. i know motortrend is hard for dodge and their challenger, but wow. they kinda laughed at the SGT. i just got upset and left. ill be back with the whipple! you havent seen the last of me dodge!
