Dodge

The sales for the Dodge Viper are down - but that doesn’t stop buyers from putting in their bids to purchase the whole operation. Jim Press - Chrysler President - stated that the line is long - which leaves us no doubt that they can get a substantial amount from the sports car.

We were excited to see that Dodge has finally released the Challenger SRT8 and while we don’t have all of the juicy details yet we are happy report that the new car will be equipped with an “SRT-exclusive Reconfigurable Display”. This means that you will be able to customize the readout from the SRT8’s 180 mph speed to display the 0-60 braking times, 0-60 acceleration times, and and ¼-mile times and g-forces.

The 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 is coming close to its official debut next week at the Chicago Auto Show. We’ve gotten a chance to see some pictures of the new vehicle and we are already impressed – but we are looking forward to seeing just how much power this new car really holds.

As of the most prestigious and anticipated car auctions in the world, Barret-Jackson has always been known for ‘collector’ cars. Well that’s changed a bit over the last few years, led by offerings from Shelby (Gt500, GT-H, etc.) and other custom tuner-car builders. Now that the infamous ‘Muscle Car Wars’ are back, the auction’s playing up to it’s new role and will be offering three of today’s most sought after late model sports cars.
