    I agree...they should have tried to produce the concept wheels. Those are awesome. I was surprised that they got rid of the menacing cross-hair grill though. Guess it still looks awesome. ;)

    What do you guys know about this hemi...? is it going to come out in 2008?

    6.6-liter Hemi in Store for 2008 Challenger?

    DaimlerChrysler is working on a 6.6-liter Hemi V8 for the forthcoming 2008/2009 Dodge Challenger, according to Hemmings Motor News. A Chrysler insider reportedly told the publication that company officials want to "come out of the gate" with a "real performance car." Recent reports have indicated the Challenger will be offered with V8 engines only — with perhaps a standard Hemi and SRT variant. Chrysler could be planning a more powerful Hemi to enable it to compete with a top-of-the-line performance version of the Chevrolet Camaro. Back in January, GM's Bob Lutz said Chrysler's 425 horsepower 6.1-liter Hemi was not a concern. "I would just reply that we have a certified 1OO more on tap from the ZO6 engine, should the need arise," he said. Earlier this month, Chrysler announced the Challenger would go into production in 2008.

    That car, 100% stock, should be in the mid to low 12s... I will be tough waiting until 2009 for that car, but that will be my next car... I'll keep my Charger SRT8 as my daily driver...
