Vehicle Description
The 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT-8 is possibly the best retro muscle
machine out there. After all, it gets its design cues from some of
the meanest sheetmetal of the era. And then you add in 425
horsepower of a modern HEMI V8, the comfort of a modern A/C
interior, and so much more modern equipment that makes this
ultra-low mileage, two-owner coupe an irresistible icon.
Hemi Orange is not only a great factory color, but also it's a
terrific name to have on a street-eating coupe like this one. It's
a throwback to the High Impact colors that helped make these Mopar
muscle cars so memorable. Today the factory-applied paint is still
so striking, because the 1,438 miles on the odometer is no typo.
This car has been treated like the future classic it is since day
one, and you see it over every inch of this bold orange. But to
call this Challenger "babied" is a bit tough, because there is
nothing infantile about its appearance. Dodge's SRT (Street and
Racing Technology) division knows how to make these look like
street brawlers even when standing still. The chin spoiler, carbon
fiber hood stripes, matching HEMI strobe side stripes, HEMI vented
hood complete w/callouts, and the full-width rear spoiler are all
clear indications this is muscle car for the modern era. But Dodge
also got the details right, too, by striking a perfect balance
between retro design and modern attraction. You see it in
everything from the classic fuel filler cap to the large 20-inch
forged factory alloy wheels.
Inside, the sport bucket seats with comfortable inserts match the
rest of this deep black interior. While it really lets you know
this Challenger has a dark side, it's also quite fashionable with
nice touches like orange streak across the SRT-embroidered
seatbacks. As you power adjust the driver's grippy bucket, you
instantly realize that this retro muscle car is far more
comfortable than anything that came out of the '60s or '70s. It's
loaded with the best modern features, including power windows,
power locks, tilt/telescopic wheel, heated seats, keyless entry &
ignition, cruise control, and dual airbags. The AM/FM/CD/XM stereo
is a premium unit that includes everything from an aux input for
your iPod, to a thumpin' subwoofer speaker system. But we know your
real favorite soundtrack comes from the dual exhaust. You'll be
running with the windows down so much that you'll be glad to know
the air conditioning is blowing ice cold.
While the SRT-8 package makes this Challenger look aggressive on
the interior and exterior, it's real value comes from what's under
the hood. You have the fuel-injected 6.1-liter HEMI V8 radiating
power from the engine bay. And with such low mileage, this original
V8 has barely been broken in. It growls to life like no other
modern car out there, and with 425 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque
straight from the factory, this one will outrun its muscle car
ancestry. But serious power is only part of this car's story. As a
modern computer-controlled and fuel-injected powerplant, it can
settle into everyday life with ease. In fact, the five-speed
automatic transmission can transition from muscle car to commuter
almost instantly. Plus, the fully independent suspension, power
steering, big Brembo four-wheel disc brakes w/ABS, and modern
Goodyear Eagle F1 tires are great features to have anytime.
Complete with owner's manual, you've already fallen in love with
the looks, the features, and the dominating HEMI V8. So when a
future classic is this appealing and this affordable, you know you
need to act fast. Call today!!!
