It's On - 2008 Dodge Challenger

HEMISPHERICAL BLOG | BRAMPTON - - It's on! According to our valuable source within the walls of the Chrysler Group, the Brampton Plant will shutdown in latter part of March 2007 for two-weeks in preparation to revamp and test the flexibility of the plant assembly line to introduce the 2008 Dodge Challenger R/T model.

Starting in the first week of April 2007, the Brampton plant robotics and workers will start assembling 50,000 Challenger units.

We did noticed also within the Airfleet webpage, who monitories the different auto manufactures, a place holders was palced underneath the 300-Charger-Magnum without any name. As a last minute thought? Perhaps but according to our corporate source, the placeholder is the LY version of the Challenger and was withdrawn to give Chrysler the edge over General Motors in bringing the car to the market earlier than predicated [Calander year 2008].

As told earlier within Allpar and our valuable source PVOMan, the Challenger will be offered as a two optioned power train for the R/T model within the first year of production. The first option will be the standard Hemi 5.7 Liter engine packed with a Mercedes Benz 5-speed Auto stick transmission. The second option will be offered as a Hemi 6.1 Liter engine with a 6-speed Tremac manual transmission that was borrowed from the Dodge Viper.

Expect a serious dealership markup or just get in line for a model. As told already, the larger dealership on both coastlines will get first dub on the Challenger before others.
