Auburn Hills, Mich.– Dodge announced pricing today for the modern interpretation of the American muscle coupe. The 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8® will arrive in showrooms next spring at a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $37,995 (which includes $675 destination).

Due to unprecedented demand, Dodge dealers will begin taking orders on Dec. 3 for the limited-edition 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 models. Each will feature a numbered dash plaque and a 6.1-liter HEMI® V-8 engine. 2008 Challenger SRT8 models will be available in Black, Silver and HEMI Orange. All will feature dual “carbon-fiber” hood stripes, harkening back to the original Dodge Challenger.

“The 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 offers pure American pony-car muscle,” said James Press, Vice Chairman & President – Chrysler LLC. “With styling that stays true to Challenger’s original heritage, an abundance of modern amenities and cutting-edge technology, the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 will deliver the SRT credo of benchmark performance at a tremendous value.

“The Challenger SRT8 is only the beginning of the story, as we’ll soon follow with a complete lineup of Challenger models that will offer a wide array of features and deliver outstanding value for our customers,” Press added.

Customers may begin placing orders at their Dodge dealer on Monday, Dec. 3. They can expect to take delivery of their vehicle next spring.

The all-new 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 will be built at the Chrysler Canada Assembly Plant in Brampton, Ontario, on the same assembly line with the Dodge Charger, Charger SRT8, Magnum, Magnum SRT8, Chrysler 300 and Chrysler 300 SRT8 vehicles.

Pricing for the complete all-new Dodge Challenger lineup will be announced at a later date.

SRT performance vehicles – including the Dodge Viper SRT10, Dodge Caliber SRT4, Dodge Magnum SRT8, Dodge Charger SRT8, Chrysler 300C SRT8, Jeep® Grand Cherokee SRT8, and now, the Dodge Challenger SRT8 – are engineered by Chrysler’s in-house performance organization: Street and Racing Technology.

The all-new 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 showcases the renowned, five key aspects of every SRT vehicle: exterior styling that resonates with the brand image; race-inspired interiors; world-class ride and handling characteristics across a broad range; benchmark braking; and standout powertrain. The all-new 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 will unquestionably deliver in all five areas.

Under 40K.......

My guess is a lot less people will be paying that ridiculous $25,000 markup on the GT500. Even If there is a markup on the Challenger, I can't see it being over $10,000.

Had the GT500 been selling for sticker, I'd have one....

Thoughts anyone?

the only thing dodge has come out with lately that sparks my interest. Now, if they came out with a dart demon duster oh hell yeah, that took most of the same design cues that the new challenger took from the old one... i would definatly start saving

I think it’s neat that they are starting with the SRT8 model first, and then will make the lower performance models the following year. This bucks the current trend that most auto manufacturers do.
I like the car but I like the current Mustang’s styling better. Now if the new Camaro comes close to the concept version, I would have a hard time picking the Mustang over it. I’m a Ford guy but that Camaro just looks great to me.

It’s too bad that you weren’t able to get a GT500 at sticker. A friend of mine purchased his GT500 at sticker from the dealership I used to work for. The owner of the dealership sold all of his GT500’s at sticker. But he also would not sell them to just anybody. From his list of potential buyers he only sold them to those that he knew really wanted the car and planned on keeping them. Not to those who were buying them just to turn a quick profit themselves.

BTW, here are some cell-phone pics of what is supposed to be the production version of the Challenger. The taillights and the grill now are a very close match to the 1970 model. I like it better with the rear spoiler too.

I love that car and the sticker pricing doesn't seem to be bad at all to me. I'd be more than happy with an R/T with the run of the mill 5.7 Hemi. The SRT's are nice but I have a feeling there are going to be more flashy "look at me" type assholes with money buying them than traditional enthusiasts.

As nice as it is I wouldn't buy an '08. I'd wait until '09 or '10 when they work all of the bugs out.

I like it... I'm curious to see the base model/pricing and see how it compares to the Mustang.

Dodge's website states that the MSRP starts at $40K. Typo?

honestly, visually it doesnt do much for me. im sure that will change once i start seeing them around. as of right now id rather an srt8 charger. i realy like those alot.

anywho...does the challanger come in a stick? whats the 6.1 sposed ta put down for power....i havnt been following this stuff.

as far as the gt500 goes, the whole thing is a shame. beautifull car. its too bad people have more money than sense out there. i remember the 1st one i saw around here. i talked to the guy about it and he was just about gloating that he forked over 70k for it like he was proud of it....ford is just going to keep falling behind right into oblivion...

my 2007 Barret-jackson pictures 383ci 615RWHP comes with wheelie bar and slicks if they make this car i would but it if not i will wait for a used one and fix it up to the specs on this concept car.

This is great news for ALL gearheads!

The more hi-po cars that are built today....the more used up hot rods there will be in 2018.

Can't afford new myself. I would like to have one, but I would be cautious of first run, first year start-up production problems, as well as over inflated dealer markups.

I keep thinking 84 Corvette....
