From what I have read, Dodge will be producing approx. 30,000 Challengers in 2008 (all Hemis). Of this total approx. 3,000 will be SRTs. I think that a good clue about pricing is how Dodge has handled the Charger RT and SRT models. According to
www.edmunds.com, here is the pricing for the Charger:
Charger RT (5.7L):
Invoice: $27,864 (w/o options)
MSRP: $31, 215 (w/o options)
TMV: $29,895 (w/o options- "True Market Value")
Charger SRT (6.1):
Invoice: $33,433 (w/o options)
MSRP: $35,920 (w/o options)
TMV: $35,733 (w/o options- "True Market Value")
Charger SRT (6.1)- "loaded," how dealers are ordering:
Invoice: $38,041 (with Options I, II & III)
MSRP: $40,870 (with Options I, II & III)
TMV: $40,763 (with Options I, II & III- "True Market Value")
(Note that dealers are giving a slight price break on the RT model but are still charging MSRP for the SRT).
The bottom line is, the new Challenger in either RT or SRT configuration will not be cheap- but as the saying goes "you get what you pay for."
