I agree, I thought old muscle cars were big, that things an effing tank! 4,000 lbs (V8)!

Wheels can always be changed.

Dodge rear ends suck. My friends dad had to pay a bunch of extra to get plain ol posi on his truck. Most dodge vehicles just do one leg peels. Retarded.

I hear that they look huge next to a current Mustang.

i was in love with the challenger but the more i see it in motion the fatter its starting to look...a heavy muscle car is a slow muscle car unless you put in all the coin to offset the weight...although i bet it'll do a mean burnout with all that tonnage...i used to count the days till i could trade my stang in for it but now i'm thinkin i'll keep the mustang...

that drag race package does give me a slight boner though

Regarding the big 3, I prefer them in this order. Based off of design. I do like how the challenger has the race package--innovative!

1. Mustang
2. Challenger
3. Camaro

"all of the 2008 Challenger come equipped with a 3.06:1 ratio gear and a Sure Grip limited slip differential. It has also been confirmed for 2009 that the Challenger will offer much more performance minded gears, such as a 3.73:1 and 3.91:1 ratio for the manual transmission models."

so much for all the BS about one wheel peels. and i bet the 09 challenger will be here soon enough.

V-6 is for real drivers. Go buy a Jetta if you want gas mileage and a chicks car. Buy a V-8 Mustang if you have no driving ability and need the extra horsepower to compensate and feel like you''''''''re fast.

i dont know of any 08 models that have been delivered yet...my understanding is that all of the models in our area are pre-production 09s, and those pictures of the challenger doing a burnouts are part of a huge series of photoshopped press photos from dodge. lsd is standard on the 08 srt8

hm....maybe if i can catch an SRT8 around here and ask for a quick 5 second burnout, then i'll be able to verify if they really do have LSD.

but why would we have preproduction 09s before the 08s have been released? maybe those 09s have the stronger HEMIs that are being tested for street duty...

i dont know why they are driving pre-production 09s, but i was told by a dodge employee that a few execs are driving white car with black stripes...which isnt offered for 08, and ive never seen a nicely painted mule, especially one driven by an exec...so maybe the white/black is going to be another special edition, similar to the blue v6 model.
