“As we revealed a few days ago, the first Dodge Challengers to go on sale will only be 2008 SRT8 models. Today we’ve learned that those 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8s will carry an MSRP of $37,995 (including $675 for destination) and that dealers will begin taking orders for them as early as December 3rd. That’s next Monday, people. If you were expecting to have the whole month of December to convince your domestic partner that a Challenger is much more important than Christmas presents, the deadline for that convincing argument has just been moved up.

The 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 will be available in three colors: Black, Silver and HEMI Orange. All will feature the same carbon fiber hood stripes as the concept vehicle, as well. The iconic muscle car that looks poised to beat the Chevy Camaro to market by a good margin is, of course, powered by a 6.1L HEMI V8 that’s available with a 5-speed automatic or six-speed manual (though prior reports state you need to wait for the ‘09 for the latter). While power figures have yet to be revealed, this engine makes 425 horsepower in other SRT8 vehicles.”

All I know is that car is the balls, tits & whatever else you want to fucking call it. Jesus Christ. That’s how they should have done the Charger up to begin with. 2 doors + Hemi = Balls. Too bad I cannot afford this wonderful piece of machinery. As Sean William Scott said in Dukes of Hazzard: “I’m gonna eat in it. I’m gonna sleep in it, & I’m gonna make sweet love to it.”
