I got some pictures of the pre-production challenger today at the vancouver (Canada) autoshow
this car is exactly as they will be produced, NOT a concept or prototype
it comes out next month, 500 srt8's this year
$44000 dollars canadian so the USA will probably be less, the new charger superbee retail is $52000 ????????????
only in black pearl or orange pearl this year
its a very cool car just needs lowering a bit to make it perfect.

Im sorry but it will take more than lowering to make this car perfect!
The stubby body sides and tweaks they do to these cars to pass standards of the crash test and so on dosent allow for a true great lines vehicle!
Personally you can put all the SRT badges you want on it and sure there will be alot of more money than brain people out there to buy them but theres a few challengers running around this site that are being built that are absolutely beautiful, and id rather have my money invested in a real challenger like some of these great cars!
Even with modern running gear etc, Than you would have a great looking car and something unique, And worth something.
Dont get me wrong you have to nod your cap to these auto makes for actually building these cars but think why they are. They have ignored the platform of great rear wheel muscle cars so long that they really had no choice but to build them with all the chanting from the horsepower people and the lack of auto sales and excitement was about gone! in the market! for FUN performance cars again nice to see the big three HP wars on again but these cars to me fall far from the target in raw muscle car appeal and wow factor!
