Danny Odoul model has been cancelled due to danny o’doul being committed to bellvue psychiatric ward.
And The Legendary Danny O’Doul Dodge Challenger Official Track Car will, of course, be a modified SRT8, with a tweaked HEMI which features an installed
O’Doul Timing Chip tm.

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.
Check out the new post by Bob the dealer this guy actually knows and responds!
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!
Agree with Greg. This is all stuff we know. How cool would it be if some of these guys actually responded to our posts.
cool blog
The pride is back.I’m excited as i was waiting for the 70 challengers to hit my local dealer.
But it beats watching CNN.
Nothing new here..
