    Great job bringing the concept car into production. How about creating a more distinct difference between the SRT and R/T besides the carbon fiber tape stripe and emblems, such as a shaker hood or T/A hood.

    Also more color options than black, red or silver.

    LOl, Im talking minor ammouts of wood trim like on the wheel like the old rim blow models of maybe wood on the pistol grip ..
    I like what they did and Im sure there will be aftermarket goodies for all of us..

    Notsure - Did you say you want wood trim?? Are you serious? Go back to the concept man…metallic finishes. It speaks to technology and modernity. Wood is a trim for luxury sedans and old man cars.

    Look at the concept…go with that.

    Im hoping maybe they could change that crappy looking wheel to a wood trimmed at least.I hear the trim on the interior is being updated for 09 thank god..

    also maybe they could offer up hood stripes for the rt also..
    The letters hemi in red on the hood dont cut it for me and Im sure Id have then removed immediately.

    moparman - you’re not alone, I think we all wanted the butterfly valves! Bring ‘em back on the 2009!

    the only problem with the Challenger SRT that I can see is where is the 6 speed manual transmission auto stick is not the same

    Ok, call me old fashioned, but I still wish they had left the butterfly valves on the hood. They looked great.

    Oh, well, I guess maybe I should just be glad they left the scoops on there at all!

Welcome

Back in the day, folks referred to holidays as "Red Letter Days" because of their color on calendars. They were times of excitement, tradition and celebration. Well, that's how we feel about the New Dodge and frankly, we've always had a special place in our hearts for red.
