Dodge’s challenging proposition

It used to be a concept and now it’s a production vehicle. The 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 Coupe is available now (with deliveries being made by March 2008) at a price of $37,995.

This whole idea of doing a retro-styled muscle car is great. Perhaps Ford should do the same with the Mustang. Oh, hang on, it already has. And the most expensive Mustang hardtop is the Shelby GT 500 Coupe with a 500-hp, 5.4-liter V8, costing $41,930. Whereas the Challenger has a 6.1-liter V8, which should probably churn out something in the region of 425hp. Hmmm.
