2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 coupe 2-door automatic

2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 coupe 2-door automatic

After 35 years, the Dodge Challenger two-door performance coupe is back and better than ever. The original Challenger premiered in 1970 and ran through model year 1974. It was the last of the Big Three to offer a pony car to the consumer, and to compete against the Ford Mustang and Chevy Cameron in transom racing.

The Dodge Challenger returns for 2008 as the limited-edition Dodge Challenger SRT8, powered by a 425-horsepower 6.1-liter HEMI V8 driving the rear wheels. Available in HEMI Orange, Bright Silver Metallic or Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl Coat, each limited edition 2008 SRT8 will include carbon fiber-look hood stripes and a numbered dash plaque.

The all-new, five-passenger Challenger captures the emotion of the original two-door, rear-wheel-drive Challenger, but with an updated twist. The exterior design combines Challenger’s heritage of bold, expressive, modern Dodge style, while the race-inspired interior is reminiscent of the original Challenger with all the modern amenities and technology that we expect today.

The all-new Challenger SRT8 offers exterior styling cues that are signature Dodge. Exterior proportions evoke a bold, instantly recognizable vehicle that has a wide, stable stance on the road. A full-width grille and fog lamps reminiscent of the original Challenger are married to the modern ‘Dodge’ attitude. The result is an aggressive face that is unmistakably a muscle car. The hood, with a raised center, carbon fiber-like stripes and functional dual scoops, stays true to the Challenger heritage, as does the A-line and beltline.

Highs: Drop-dead good locks, supportive sport bucket seats, major performance for the dollar.
Lows: Lots of mass, no manual transmission option for SRT8, SRT8 gas-guzzler tax dilutes bang-for-buck, and the interior is a bit underwhelming.
