The Production Challenger

The 2008 Dodge Challenger is offered in one trim line, the well-known SRT8 designation. There were 4 choices for the lucky people who reserved a 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 before it was released. The first dealt with color, either Hemi Orange Pearl Coat, Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl Coat, or Bright Silver Metallic Pearl Coat. The second choice was whether to stick with the basic 6-disc AM/FM/MP3 stereo system or to select the $890 MyGig Multimedia system complete with GPS navigation. The third option was whether or not you wanted a sunroof at an additional $950. And the final decision was simple: stock or performance tires. The base tire of the SRT8 is a set of four 245/45ZR20 all-season Goodyear radials. For fifty dollars more, a buyer could select a set of performance Goodyears with the same 245 size tires up front and 255/45ZR20's in the rear.

The Chevrolet Corvette and Ford Mustang are two of a handful of American performance cars that have secured their place in automotive history books. They both contributed to building the young performance market in 50's and 60's America, and then passed the test of time. The Pontiac Firebird, Chevrolet Camaro, Ford Thunderbird, and Dodge Charger can also be counted amongst the most powerful cars of their day, though presently the Firebird is no longer produced and the Charger is offered as a performance sedan. Ford Muscle returned to classic styling with the release of the S197 2005 Mustang, a mega success. Around the same time, rumors of another vintage muscle car returning began to grow; this time for the Dodge Challenger.
