Dodge Challenger
According to sources, Chrysler is trying to decide on which strategy to follow: a high-price, low-volume run, or a high-volume, lower-price run. Also in flux is the question of engines - restricting to just the Hemi, or allowing both the Hemi and at least one V6. Chrysler announced a manual transmission will be available along with an automatic, each having five speeds; an SRT-8 version will have the 6.1 Hemi while the stock Challenger will have the 5.7 Hemi (no, they will not have the new crate Hemi, nor did we expect them to). One possibility was just sent to us: the Challenger start out in SRT-8 form for model-year 2008, with both a manual and automatic, built on the LC (shortened LX) platform. Following that will come the standard Challengers.
When and where will it be built? “DCAutoWorker” wrote that customers cars would be built starting in April 2008, with a 30-day hold to get some supplies built and perhaps handle any last-minute issues without a recall; hence it would be given to dealers in May 2008 as a 2008 model (in the near past, Chrysler would have called that a 2009). Brampton has not yet been officially named as its home, but the three-week model changeover is longer and later than normal.
CanadianJeepYJ wrote that, according to a Chrysler rep talking informally: “Cars should start rolling off the line in January-Feburary of 2008, hitting the dealers by March. There will be a SXT model with either a V-6 or a 4.7 V-8. The first hemi R/T's will be all autosticks. The SRT-8s will be the 6.4 Hemis putting out 500-505 HP. The story right now is the manual trans is still up in the air, he said there is a faction that wants only autosticks, and another wants the 6 speeds. He's backing the 6 speed availability.”
