Dodge Reveals 2009 Challenger R/T and SE

[Falcon500]

Depends on what you mean. I'll just clarify fully. The Charger and the Challenger or not the same car......but are built on the same platform. The 4 door Charger has been on the market since 2006, the Challenger is a 2 door coupe that will coming into production this year. Both cars will be offered in 3 trims:
SE: a 6 cyl model which will probably be the mass sellers
R/T: for those who want V8 performance without paying too much
SRT8: for those who want the top of the line performance trim (bigger V8, better brakes, sportier suspension).

Thank you i get that now.

Gms easy they throw SS on everything and somtimes a followup.

Ford easy normally they have a GT and then above that is SVT.

And last time I payed attention to chrysler usually the R/Ts where top of the line.....at least here in aus anyways.

I actually like that blue alot more than that hideous red on the unveiled R/T. Yuck. They should have gone with a darker metallic red. That bright red just makes the body lines look hideous IMO.

My thoughts exactly - That red was not my style but they are offering another red - Inferno - that's darker and more my speed.

Check out this video for Top Gear Magazine of the 2008 SRT8 and the 1970s model. You can definitely see the similarities between the two in the shot of them lined up side by side. And man, the two cars driving together is awesome!

wow, that is interesting... is the two sets the two engine options?

Forgotten the context and can't find its original thread, sorry Cuda

seems to be a bad tune for the challenger? as in, it's all over the place, spikes and dips etc

I'm no dyno expert but thats what struck me too (if an accurate representation of Hemi power 'curve')

I've yet to see one in person I agree Charger SRT8 or R/T is cooler

[Smithman]

I haven't seen one yet either and I'm anxiously waiting for them to come out. I signed up for dodge updates and I'm betting they'll send something out when the cars are at the dealers. Man I can't wait!

I'm a little pissed off Just noticed Dodge dealer has new Daytona R/T 2008 decals a little different does this hurt value on my 2006 1 of 4000NOT!
