Yeah, if I had the money, I'd be all over a GT500KR.

The way I see it is if you want a challenger your going to wait for it. If you can be easily swayed to buy another then perhaps you truly didn't want a challenger. Or you just have mega bucks and can buy and sell or lease cars as you wish...I envy you.
I got challenger fever and only a challenger is going to satisfy me.

There is no known cure for "Challenger fever" other than a new Challenger parked in your driveway!

In tonight's SRT Chat session, the following question was posed to the SRT Team:

"I know you can't exactly mention future status of any vehicle, very understandable... but are you at least thinking of putting the 6.4 (392) in a production DC vehicle of any kind? Is there one set in mind?
How come there aren't ANY manual transmissions in any offered HEMI vehicle?
Was there a reason why there isn't an LSD rear axle for the GCSRT?
What are mods that YOU would do to your personal GCSRT?"

Their cagey response was:

"You're right, I can't. But take my word for it - stay tuned."


Read between the lines. I think I see a 6.4 Hemi Challenger in 2009!

It was originally implyed that an automatic transmission wouldn't be offered the first year. This seems to support that.

No response to the question about manual transmissions for other hemi cars?
I could stand a Magnum/Charger if I could get a manual trans.

The following post as made on the chargerforums.com website:

"What I have been told is that the challenger srt8 will only come in a 6.1 hemi with a 6spd manual. The great news is that we were told that the base price would be $37,420, there will also be 3 srt option groups just like the charger. The 5.7 (trim level designation still being decided) will have a base price $29,970. I am in Fort Wayne, IN fwi. Also, there will be no 3.5L v6 right away, just a 5.7L and 6.1 in the srt. Plans are according to our district manger is to release a base level with a 4.0 (same motor as nitro) in 2-3 years to increase volume. "

SWEET....... It sounds like it will be affordable after the price gouging from the dealers.
