At this years SEMA show, Dodge will be unveiling a new supercharger kit for the 2008 Dodge Challenger , providing the potential to significantly boost output from the stock 425 HP (in SRT8 trim). The dealer-installed option will be sold through the Mopar brand, and if the co-developed kits from Speedfactory are any indication, it'll consist of a Vortec blower with a cold air intake good for a whopping 630 HP. Hey, that's right up there with the Corvette ZR1's numbers. Okay, so the Challenger will still fall behind thanks to its rather portly 4,140 lb curb weight, but that'll be one hell of a ride. Oh, and don't get yourselves in a tizzy over that Plum Crazy Purple Challenger; we did that one ourselves, Chrysler style . [ MotorAuthority ]

Buyers are getting desperate to ensure one of the five thousand 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8's initially rumored to be available for purchase will end up nestled snugly in their garage. We've already told you about the pricing details on the SRT8 Challenger , and the impressive presale orders of Dodge's new muscle car , but now CNN is reporting buyers are bidding up to twenty grand on top of sticker for one of the reborn legends. The Mopar madness is reaching a fevered pitch folks. galleryPost('08DodgeChallengerSRT8D', 3, '2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 Official Detail Photos'); Let's add this up. Base sticker is $37,995, gas guzzler tax will probably run another $2,000, and now top it all with a premium of $20,000 - grand total $59,995. If you throw in destination, title, and all that baloney, it's comfortably over sixty thousand dollars. We don't know if anybody is paying attention here, but that puts the new Challenger in the same price range as a very...

Although we already broke the detail photos of the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 to you first two days ago, it now seems "The New Chrsyler" has deemed it safe to get in the act. Dodge has gone and revealed the same shots today -- only this time in high resolution. So check the photos out below in their full glory -- and note again the crossbar-delete option they've added since the concept car design. We'll of course be there live to see the official unveiling at the Chicago Auto Show in just two months. galleryPost('08DodgeChallengerSRT8D', 5, '2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 Official Detail Photos');

Dodge just issued a release exclaiming how excited they are over all of the excitement for the Dodge Challenger SRT8 (yes, the same Challenger we just revealed the first detail shots of earlier today, and first to show you a commercial on last week ) -- an excitement instigated by their release of pricing for said muscle car earlier this week. In fact they've already had a whole 6,000 folks drop a deposit down since Monday, with 4,300 slapping their piggy bank on the table on the first day alone. They're also claiming that they'll be revealing some form of "eye candy" later this week. All of this is fine and good -- and we'll even let them slide for using our service-marked and patent pending phrase " Muscle Car Wars " at the end of the release below the jump without charging them the usual $2 per use we normally charge. Ain't we a nice buncha guys? galleryPost('DodgeChallenger', 3, '2008 Dodge Challenger Concept'); 2006 Dodge Challenger...

So there's what appear to be scans of a Dodge dealer pamphlet for the 2008 Challenger and Challenger SRT8 making its way around the internet. While some of the shots in the scans appear to show off the concept vehicle (the tiny words that say "concept vehicle shown" are the dead giveaway), some of the detail photos appear to show off a non-concept front-end, fuel cap, badging and rims. Although we won't know for sure until the Chicago Auto Show in just a couple of months -- what say you? galleryPost('2008DodgeChallengerDealer', 6, 'Dodge Challenger Dealer Pamphlet');( Hat tip to Colton ) [via Allpar ]
