Sharp looking car. I like the chrome finish rims on the R/T better than the ones on the SRT8. Curious to see what the actual 0-60/quarter mile times will be with the pistol grip.

Thanks for the pics.!
Not a bad looking car at all. It's just my opinion, but personally, I think the aluminum gas cap distracts from the car. I never understood why people think highlighting where the fuel filler door is with an aluminum door looks good. |

I always here the theme song to Fat Albert in my head when I see pics of that car. Until I see pics of the interior, then I fall asleep.

well, i really believe i agree with Moose on this. that is a really nice looking car, for a dodge. the gas cap does kinda make the car look a little tacky tho. the concept had no gas car, and it looked better. i think this will give the camaro a run for its money, but it wont win

the inside doesn't go wit the outside...and is it just me or is the inside basically the same thing as the charger
and what i mean by the inside doesn't go with the outside is that the outside is a older/newer lookin retro vehicle which is a muscle car and the inside is no different than a charger and it looks like a family sedan it doesn't say muscle...i was expecting a little more out of dodge.. but chevy created a whole new interior and they are still tweaking it and it has that retro/new muscle feel....

anyone else care to doubt what I said about the Challenger now? while I do believe the Camaro will be faster, dont count the SRT8/TR6060 model out as "too heavy"... one wrong shift and you'll be looking at tail lights.
I love this car and think Dodge did an incredible job on the exterior... the interior could definitely be better... but I have Kowalski fever, here, and I can completely see myself in a Stone White R/T model

about 10 days ago, I posted that the Challenger was going to be available with the six speed manual... everyone looked at the Dodge website and called me a liar and said it was "going to be a while before that was available"... and now here we are 10 days later and the Dodge webpage is updated with the 2009 options, but not pricing (you still can't build a 2009 Challenger, but you can look at colors and some options), and everything I've said has been proved right.
I love being right because it so rarely happens since I've gotten married... lol
