Challenger SRT8 set to challenge Z/28 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Just got this email

What's your opinions?

Me I highly doubt it. Challengers to be are just to big and handle like crap compared to mustangs and camaros.

And I doubt dodge is building the challenger as a track car like GM did the z/28

They have core models so it may be possible. Guess we shall see.

I believe in Giles. Look what they threw together with the SRT Viper TA, just a couple of months after the zr1 whooped it, they forced it out and it was great. This could be interesting

Def nothing wrong with some good ol muscle car competition.

Very exciting indeed!

So now we got a $70,000 Challenger too?

I sure hope so. I mean, what would be better in this world than two incredibly fast pony-cars? Maybe one day Ford will make a car that can challenge the Z/28 too!

I thinks it's cool what dodge is trying to do. Frankly I hope they succeed. That would shut up a bunch of people about the Challenger. I highly doubt they pull it off though. Although, we don't really know how the Z/28 performs for sure other than what GM told us. These are good times to be a Motörhead.

Did they launch the 2013 model yet?

Dodge website shows only 2012 SRT8 models until now !!

It seems that they are working on many changes because I heard about a supercharged version too

SRT8Tech · 04-16-2013, 05:53 AM

Psshhhhh, I will believe it when the car is on the showroom floor. Until then, its a bunch of BS!!!!

....the Dodge Boys are getting back into the fray! It's about time...but..they have their work cut out for them.

FrankT · 04-16-2013, 08:09 AM

Dodge has a long way to go. I had a 2010 Challenger SRT-8. For an everyday driver, it was a great car. As far as a performance car, it left a lot to be desired. Still, I hope Dodge makes some significant improvements to the Challenger.

Bad@ssCamaro · 04-16-2013, 08:20 AM

Just wondering if the guys @ GM are having a chuckle over this announcement
