08 Dodge Challenger

The latest throwback muscle car is from Dodge and it wreaks of muscle, testosterone, and yes is another lady that makes my pants tight.  Dodge even managed to get the colors right and offer a selection to make anyone feel like a badass behind the wheel of the new 425 horsepower monster.  The new 08 Dodge Challenger comes in a very limited quantity of 6,400 units sporting the hemi v-8 engine.  My guess is the limited production is because of this v-8 Challenger only getting 13 miles per gallon.

Hey, if you are purchasing a new Challenger you aren't worried about gas mileage anyways (at $40,000 SRT-8 sticker price), but if you are expect a girlified v-6 Challenger version in 09.

Gruesome 08 Challenger Details

Engine: 6.1-liter V-8 with 425 horsepower, 420 pound-feet of torque.

Transmission: Five-speed automatic.

Speed: 0 to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds.

Gas mileage per gallon: 13 city; 18 highway.

Retail Price: $41,310.

Sorry all you mullet sporting, mustache wearing goons, the manual transmission won't be available until the 09 Challenger comes out this fall.  The way it looks, you better go ahead and get in line and pre-order your 09 Challenger, because these cars are hot.

Is there any question that the new 2008 Dodge Challenger will be a hot item? No, but Jesus Mary and Joseph, a special edition 2008 Challenger sold on eBay for $228,143.43...eeek! Granted, this special edition muscle car features a custom B5 blue paint scheme and comes complete with 2 VIP tickets to the Challenger 500 NASCAR race.

Sound expensive? Don't worry, base model 2008 Challengers will sell in the neighborhood of $38,000, not cheap but a far cry from this eBay sticker. The new SRT8's will come standard with a 5-speed automatic transmission, 6.1L Hemi engine worth 425hp and 420 ft-lbs of torque. I'd assume dealers will be selling these cars well over sticker, considering there will be a short suppy of 6,400 produced the first year.
