Default Has the new challanger been released?
I didnt think they were but a guy showed up at my bar lastnight in a new one with paper plates. It was a srt-8 with i believe the 6.1 hemi. Guy who owned it came in with mario ellie so im pretty sure he was a former professional ball player.

kinda dissapointed, when he started it, it sounded more like a lexus than a 425hp "muscle car"
in person it wasnt all that appealing either

Yup, I've seen a couple around the DFW area. They look nice. That's the only thing I like about them.

Last Friday at our local A&W hangout ...2 showed up--a Silver one with Black Stripes, and an all Black one....very nice looking. Talked to the owner of the Black one, and he said he ordered it over 2 years ago, on the day the orders were first taken....

Planet Dodge on 59 North (Humble, TX) had four of them earlier this week. Two orange ones, two black ones. $20K over MSRP. One of them was actually sold. What a dumbass
