There is no mistaking the new Dodge Challenger SRT-8 for any other car on the road. Sleek, fashionable and ultra fast, Chrysler did an excellent job bringing back the "retro" look. Price tag? $47,000. And the first ones that sold, sold WAY, WAY OVER MSRP...one Dodge dealer in Davie, sold their first one fully loaded for $25,000 over sticker.

So, what exactly does this Challenger come with for that price? How about a 6.1 liter Hemi Engine with 425 horsepower at 6200 rpm! The factory Challenger is famed for its 0-60 time in the low 5 seconds, but the car weighs 4180lbs and those lbs could be the difference at the finish line.
The inside of the Challenger features leather seats trimmed with red stitching. The seats have a heating option available.

It is a very large coupe, also called a "big body hot rod." A very roomy back seat that comfortably seats two. Overall, the inside of the Challenger proves to be spacious as well as sporty.

Is the Dodge Challenger SRT-8 worth the price tag? If you are a sports car fanatic, YES. If not, there is always the base Challenger with a sticker of $27,000. You get the look and the feel, with less power. And, you get the drive the hottest car on the street.
