I had a dream last night that I was at the Pepsi 400...

"And now I'd like to introduce a special guest from Daimler-Chrysler who's with us in Daytona today to make a special announcement."

"Thank you. I'm pleased to announce that in the 2008 production model year, Chrysler Corporation will bring back a great piece of pony car and Can-Am history: the Dodge Challenger." (Applause)

"The base Challenger will be offered with a high-output 3.5 liter V6 engine producing 250 horsepower, coupled to a five-speed autostick transmission. A T/A version will be equipped with the popular 340 horsepower, 5.7 liter Hemi V8, and the R/A model will house the massive 425 horsepower, 6.1 liter SRT Hemi. Both the T/A and R/A can be had with either an autostick or an optional 6-speed manual transmission. (Strong applause and spirited cheering.)

"Finally, just for you NASCAR fans..." (Wild applause) "Chrysler is pleased to announce that the top-of-the-line Challenger SRT8 will be equipped with the 6.4 liter, 510 horsepower race Hemi!"

(Dead silence, followed by wild applause, men screaming, ladies fainting, Mustangs in the parking lot spontaneously losing tire pressure...)

I know what caused the dead silence;that's when all of the Blue Oval and Bowtie guys messed their pants!!!!!!!!!

Wow, sounds good to me...Everything except the V6 part. I'm one of the few, I guess, who would actually prefer this to be a specialty vehicle. I'd hate to see the market flooded like the Mustang. It's too nice of a car for that. Just my opinion.

And no, I'm not loaded. I'm a college grad.
