newVideoPlayer("ChallengerLIVE_jalopnik.flv", 475, 269,""); Here it is! ...again. The 2008 Dodge Challenger . But this time we have video! And mustaches! Hoo, mamma! galleryPost('doanechallengersrt8reveal', 9, '2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 Live Shots');We'd have to label all this Challenger material we've been posting, Posting! POSTING!!! of late some kind of steady build to this cargasmic moment. Obviously, with previous coverage, you've been forced to ponder, perhaps question some of the performance data, skeptically consider the Challenger's true aerial capabilities, and of course study many, many still pictures. But now you can just kick back and watch as we inaugurate the Challenger Channel.

newVideoPlayer("ChicagoFood_Jalopnik.flv", 475, 269,""); Here at Jalopink, we don't just sit around waiting for the news to come to us. So, once we got to the windy city for the 2008 Chicago Auto Show, we just couldn't wait around for the official unveilings. So off we went, scavenging the city for the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 . Lucky for us, Hardigree is a local, so he had a few ideas of where we might find Chrysler hiding their new muscle car. Naturally, the first stop was Wrigleyville-- you know, because um, that's where I would go if I were a Dodge Challenger. After that, things went downhill... galleryPost('2008DodgeChallengerSRT8ExtE', 21, 'Dodge Challenger Exterior Shots');

Yup, more evidence that the Muscle Car Wars are on! After we showed you that single shot of the new 2010 Ford Mustang interior and after we ran the two covers Car & Driver saw slip out way too early, we happened upon the above shot of the interior for the 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T on a few of the forums all about the new muscle car from the Ram-headed brand. So what do we see? Well -- we see a lot of standard instrument panels, radio units and HVAC controls. But check out that silver plastic around the instrument cluster. Most importantly, check out that leather-and-chrome wrapped shifter. Now that we like. Click the jump to see a larger shot and remember, we'll be bringing you coverage of the official reveal live in just two weeks at the Chicago Auto Show . galleryPost('2008ChallengerSRT8Snow', 6, 'Spy Photos - 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8');

The buff boys over at the buff book named Car und Driver appear to be needing some crucial reader input on their April issue. They, or a duly-sworn representative, appear to have taken it upon themselves to send out some versions of their cover to a small clinic group of readers to determine which shots should get the limelight of being an actual C&D cover. What's really funny to us is we remember overhearing a conversation involving Editor-in-Chief Csabe Csere at Narita Airport in the Northwest Worldclub waiting for our flight back from the Tokyo Auto Show. Csaba was loudly proclaiming how his publication is very careful with embargoed information, never -- ever -- letting outsiders have access to covers. We also remember hearing him say that other outlets (in the case being talked about, it was Motor Trend 's accidental embargo breach on the Nissan GT-R) need to be more careful with covers that reveal sensitive information -- and that Car & Driver doesn't ever run...

newVideoPlayer("DodgeChallengerCommercial_gawker.flv", 475, 276); Oh yeah baby, the Muscle Car Wars (patent pending) are totally on now and Dodge is showing it -- revealing both a new commercial for the new muscle car that declares simply "It's On!" and then by dropping a pricing of $37,995 on the limited-edition, top of the line and 6.1-liter Hemi-powered 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 . The new pony car from the brand with the horns will come in three colors, black, silver or Hemi orange and they'll begin taking orders on the new Hemi hotness starting December 3rd. Now that would make a "December to Remember." We're totally declaring Monday a Jalopnik muscle car holiday. Full press release after the jump and we'll be seeing the official unveil in person in just a couple of months at the Chicago Auto Show. galleryPost('DodgeChallenger', 9, 'Dodge Challenger'); Dodge Announces Pricing for All-new 2008 Challenger SRT8® Dodge Challenger...

We've already seen it in spy photos -- a lot , but one of us was headed down I-275 an hour ago and spotted the musclegasm that is the 2009 Dodge Challenger meandering down the left lane at posted speeds. Luckily, we were coming from an event so we happened to have a camera nearby to catch the re-make making its way south. What was weird about this particular test vehicle was it appeared to be both red and black. So, what -- they couldn't decide whether they what color they wanted it to be? Seriously guys, pick a color -- preferably before the 2008 Chicago Auto Show reveal. galleryPost('2009DodgeChallengerSpy1', 8, 'Spy Photos - 2009 Dodge Challenger');
