Dodge Challenger SRT8 2009

The Chrysler Group took several months to build up to its Challenger introduction. Recently, at a Jan.2008 Barrett-Jackson event in Arizona, a Challenger prototype and the "First Production Purchase Rights were auctioned off to the highest bidder. In honor of Richard Petty, the number 43 production vehicle will be auctioned on Ebay. It will include some special "Petty" items and the proceeds going to charity.
Chrysler said that the 2009 Challenger SRT8 would be built in three colors. The retro design takes you back to the 1970 Challenger, but with an updated power train and amenities of the 21st Century. The Challenger also recently appeared at the 100th assembly of the Chicago Auto Show of 2008, where it took two of the Shows five categories voted on by Consumers to proclaim their favorites. Among those categories Challenger took the Best All-New Production Vehicle and The Best Chicago Auto Show World Introduction awards. The Shelby GT500KR followed up with 18 per cent of the vote in Best Production Vehicle. The GMC Denali came in second place to the Best Chicago World Auto Show with its concept hybird pickup truck.
