Paul, Sr. and Paul, Jr., Teutul, of Orange County Choppers and American Chopper fame, were around to introduce the new Challenger . As far as celeb/car introduction pairings go, this one was mostly inoffensive and made some sort of sense as this car will be popular with those buying a third car as a way to blow some disposable income, which are the same people that buy custom bikes. Unfortunately, it lacked the uncomfortable sexuality of old people and Amerigasm potential of previous introductions. galleryPost('doanepaulteutulsrpaulteutuljr', 3, 'The Teutuls Shill For Challenger');

What better way to kick off the sales of your new muscle car, the last relevant piece of new product you're going to introduce for a while, than to invite a couple of guys who are best known for selling motorcycles. Paul, Sr. and Paul, Jr. of American Chopper fame were on hand to show off the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 . And what did we learn that you may not have learned from any of the sixteen or seventeen Challenger posts that already ran today? Dodge was smart enough to low-ball the 0-60 mph in the initial press release, as the actual car gets a more respectable 0-60 time of 4.9 seconds with a top speed of 170 mph and a quarter-mile in the 13's. There is also video of it jumping, as seen in this image of questionable authenticity , but it only goes about 8 inches off the ground. Press release below the jump -- in case you missed it the last time. galleryPost('doanechallengersrt8reveal', 9, '2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 - Revealed Live'); 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8...

Given how bad the photoshopping was of the original 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 , we thought you'd like some live shots. And while those shots weren't supposed to go up for another few hours, our intrepid photographer managed to catch one de-robed, as it were, during a rehearsal for the big reveal. galleryPost('doanechallengersrt8', 3, 'First Live Shots Of Dodge Challenger');

Employing the same skill as a 12-year-old grafting his head on Eli Manning's body, Chrysler's media team made the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 fly. There are so many problems with this 6th grade photochop that it would occupy us for the rest of the day trying to make fun of them and we couldn't bring you live pictures of the Ford Transit Connect . We've numbered the seven most obvious errors, bad clones and just outright injustices. You identify them and hopefully add some more.

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...
