Challenger SE Rallye Announced With New 5-Speed Auto

[Brandon1978]

Does anyone know if current SE ownerrs would be able to swap out the four speed for the 5 speed?

Looks Good.

Three Points:

1. The City EPA MPG numbers suffer a bit, probably due to lower gearing in the 5 speed auto trans. Probably gets better 0-60 times, though, which is a good thing.

2. Stripes look fine, and there's going to be many color/stripe combos.

3. They should offer a Dual Exhaust Package OTC for the Kids.

What a bummer!! I got my SE in October , drove 2 weeks and parked it for the winter. I just brought it out last week and started to enjoy driving it again. Now I find out if I had waited I could have gotten the SE with the 5 speed autostick. I could give myself a kick in the rear. I wonder if I could swap out the trannys. I better start saving for that.

You know what. This makes my car ever more rare. Limited production SE. Thats the tag im going to put on my car.

i'm sure you will need a lot more than a trans to convert to the 5-speed autostick.

I still don't see the Rally pkg on the Dodge website although they have updated their inventory search tool. It was basically useless before, much easier to use now. I already ordered mine a month ago but I still check to see what's out there sometimes.

the srt's don't have this stripe. it's an all new design for the SE/R. and besides, the average point a to b person would careless about what's under the hood of the car next to him.

This makes the SE all the more appealing. Think I may just get one of these with 7k down, pay on it aggressively for a year or two and trade up to the R/T.

Has anyone actually ordered one yet? I ordered my SE before this was available and I don't wanna change my order now to cause further delays - it's reallly just cosmetic stuff anyway. I wonder if they started rolling down the line today since it's the 14th and the first day of production for the SE w/ the 5 speed auto trans...

A couple of great improvements to the Rallye SE would be to offer a stick and dual exhaust. A great RT cheater. They can use a cheaper 5-speed stick to keep the cost down and how much more could a dual exhaust cost from the factory?

The lower total cost and lower insurance would open up the market to a ton of wanna be RT buyers on a budget.

I just ordered a RT Classic 6-spd, but I won't be driving it every day. The SE/R stick would be a great budget everyday driver most people could afford.
