2008 Challenger

[BlackBart]

Heard from a friend of mine who works at Chrysler that the 08 Challenger will be a 6.1L/auto - basically the same drivetrain in the current SRT8's. That seems to be common knowledge.

What I did not know is that for 2009, he said Chrysler will put in a 6.4L/500HP/Tremec Viper 6 Speed combination. I have heard rumors of a 500HP SRT8 combination, but did not know it had been given the green light until now.

Might be worth the wait! :drool:

Hmmmm!!! Interesting!!! :shifty: Perhaps by 2009 gas prices will be within reason again too!!

That would be correct.

2008 the Challenger comes out with a V6, 5.7 and SRT8 (6.1L Auto).

2009 (Aug 2008) the Challenger will have new options.

6.4L with 6 speed

Convertible and new colors.

worth it IMO. Then I swap the 6.4 in to my 300 and the 426 will have twin Turbos by then and will sit with a nice 5 speed

Wouldn't be so bad.... The way I look at it, the beauty of having 3 cars is that you can only drive one at a time!! So, essentially, we wouldn't be using more gas than we already are!!! :imao:

Yeah.... I know! My theories and rationalities are quite unique!!! :rofl2:
