whats going on guys Im really interested in the new challenger coming out. I own a 2007 charger r/t & will probably be trading it in towards a 2009 challenger. my question to you veterans are what were the special editions of the older challengers since I have very limited knowledge about the past cars & also will there be special editions like maybe daytonas or such just guessing? Im really leaning towards sublime, plum crazy or top banna. will those be normal colors or released in special editions on certain years kind of like what they did with the daytona edition chargers. any information is welcome. thanks for your time.
Welcome to challengertalk ! Remember we are just "talkers" not CEO -types/insiders. We cannot make any decisions or implimentations on the Dodge Challenger ; although a great many of us would like or attempt to !!!http://www.challengertalk.com/forums/showthread.php?p=18264#post18264 ; look at post #18 for that color possiblity ! That and others might not be standard issue but certainly available I would presumeably presume ! !!
I look forward to joing this community. I mean opinion wise I think they'll be released in limited numbers ( sublime,plum crazy, top banana etc) while the normal colors such as black & silver will always be open to order at any time.
The only special edition (performance) Charger was the 1970 T/A (Trans-Am version that had a 340 six pack).
Other than the base Challenger, there was an SE model (luxury options) and the R/T. The R/T came with either a 340, 383, 440-4 bbl., 440-6 pack or 426). Lesser models came with a 225 or 318.
Colors were pretty wild on all models (e.g.,Rallye Red, Plum Crazy, Lemon Twist, Sublime, etc.).
Going thru the list of standard options for the 2008 SRT8 I see option: SPECIAL EDITION BADGE (MZ7) indicating a special edition... and sounds like for 2009 they will be producing R/T's as the midrage model... (unless you were meaning something more along the lines of the T/A variety...)
Also thought it humorous to see option: DODGE I.D. BADGE (MUD) making Dodge's name MUD???
