That should be a nasty piece of hardware if they can get the weight down to 3500 or so! She's going to be a pricy b*tch though.

It looks good, but I'm not 100% sure they are going to offer it with a manual. The ones I've seen are the same automatic the other Mopars have. I'm thinking it's going to run similiar times as the other SRT-8s, only more consistently. I guess we'll find out. That thing is going to rip whoever buys it back pocket off $$$.

Dodge really needs to jump on the aftermarket bandwagon like Ford has. It would really suck if you bought a Challenger and could never buy a supercharger or turbo for it.

The new Challenger does look nice. Which is rather ironic in a way, like a really good looking fat chick.[&:]

The ride is very sharp but id rather get the new camaro over it, maybe cuz the camaro will offer manual gearbox.

I'm amazed Dodge didn't f#ck this up too much. I actually kinda like it. I wouldn't buy one, but they're good looking cars, and the price seems fair. (minus stealership markups[:@])

They say manuals will be available in '09.

But who knows if that will change.

Pretty sick car. But I hope they address the:
-Small gearing Dodge uses, even Rams have small gears
-The overweight sports car trend they love
-The sound, by stock that car should sound like raw, raspy American Muscle, but instead it sounded like a European sports car.
