The first Challenger model released will be the SRT8, packing the same 6.1L HEMI firepower and suspension as the 300 SRT8 sold in Australia. It's the same type of car as the HSV and FPV cars there. This summer the more affordable R/T model with a 5.7L HEMI will bow.

It's a shame Chrysler decided they will not export this car, I figure many of you would probably enjoy it in the land Down Under.

That is HAWT!:bounce:

Yeah but we are getting the Chevrolet Camaro. If I could order my Bumblebee now, I would! :D

PS - just out of curiosity, how does someone from Phoenix, AZ, USA get validated? lol

Hahaha funnily enough, I actually had a guy come to the dealership and ask me "When are you getting the Camaros in"

"Um, we're not."

"But they're scheduled for release soon"

"2009?"

"Yeah"

"It's January 2008"

"Oh"

"Yeah, you should probably check back closer to the release date"

"Oh, okay"

I think he was upset I didn't have one in the back to show him or something.

Thanks for putting up the pics. I love this thing and really hope some how they end up coming here. The silver/grey one is awesome. Based on looks this thing is my my pick over the Camaro so far. Long time before I have to choose though :D

Hello, you there Rogue:lmao:........Do you want me to get you something or call some one :lol:

The first Car and Driver magazine cover refers to the VE as American. But I suppose GM would rather have the average Joe on the street in the US thinking it is.

[moose]

Looks a hell of a lot nicer than the camaro IMHO.:yup:

Probably because they put their spin on it (ie, new front bar, etc) they are claiming it as a GM US product.

looks like the SS is goin up for sale......I WISH! farkin hot lookin ride!

My local Dodge dealer sent out a X-mas advertising flyer with the usual specials etc. It also included a "Coming soon" or "Future" section, cant remember which, but it showed pictures of a couple of new Jeep soft roaders, Sebring 'vert etc from memory AND the new Challenger. Naturally I got on the phone and asked the question "where do I sign" for a new Challenger.

Only to be told that it was only a 15% chance of becoming available.

[Grommz]

i agree with rogue..


enough said.

well not said :p

[CATACK]

Looks Fantastic:bounce::shock:

[Cruzadr]

Holy crap that car's awesome! I still prefer the Comaro (as if i had a choice). I know its not a charger but I smell a new Dukes of Hazard tv series coming up (crosses fingers, toes and testicles).

[vt2vx]

nice, prefer it to the 300C

[buddyforu]

I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!!:shock:

[Redhot_57]

That looks sweeet!! Pity we wont see them out here. Hats off to Chrysler for a tasteful modern version of the classic. Would love to see a few of the original classic colours make a comeback too..

I reckon they will sell like hotcakes

That looks sweet EXCEPT im not sure on that little black plastic flip at the rear, just looks a little cheap, maybe put the badge somewhere else and get rid of it or make it an actualy part of the boot.

But would i say yes to one...HELL YEAH :shock:
