The free-breathing Hemi rumble is intoxicating, the acceleration is exhilarating (an understatement.)  And half the fun is marveling that something so big and heavy can go so fast and handle so well.  I've driven faster cars, but try to drive one of these without having a smile plastered on your face the whole time.  $37,995 is less than what I expected; I'll be looking for an end-of-year deal when my Mercedes lease is up in late 2008.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[500]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 29th 2007 12:35PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 arrives at $37,995]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/29/2008-dodge-challenger-srt8-to-start-at-37-995/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/29/2008-dodge-challenger-srt8-to-start-at-37-995/</guid><description><![CDATA[Dealers are getting 25K over MSRP in the SF Bay area.

I'm guessing V6 models will start around $21,500 and standard Hemi ones at $26,000 or so...<br>   I'm betting the initial dealer markup will be a joke though, they'll laugh all the way to the bank on the $$$ of those that need to have things first.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mark_welby]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 29th 2007 9:10AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 arrives at $37,995]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/29/2008-dodge-challenger-srt8-to-start-at-37-995/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/29/2008-dodge-challenger-srt8-to-start-at-37-995/</guid><description><![CDATA[If the regular Hemi will be available with a manual trans, that'll be the scorching hot seller. Affordable out of the gate, with awesome hot-rodding potential. <br>Sebastian- the beauty in this car is not in elegant crurves and delicate features, like on 60's Ferrari's or Jag E-Types and Alfa's and the Merc. CLS of today. Its in its un-ashamed, iconic, retro design. There's history to this thing. I wonder how many of these we'll see with temporary Confederate flags at the Woodward cruise next year.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Guenther]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 29th 2007 9:23AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 arrives at $37,995]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/29/2008-dodge-challenger-srt8-to-start-at-37-995/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/29/2008-dodge-challenger-srt8-to-start-at-37-995/</guid><description><![CDATA[the Dukes Of Hazzard didn't drive a Challenger so unless those people at Woodward are completely 100% dim in the head... i am guessing 0. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[010111]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 29th 2007 1:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 arrives at $37,995]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/29/2008-dodge-challenger-srt8-to-start-at-37-995/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/29/2008-dodge-challenger-srt8-to-start-at-37-995/</guid><description><![CDATA[How much is introductory rebate going to be??]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dave in MI]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 29th 2007 9:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 arrives at $37,995]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/29/2008-dodge-challenger-srt8-to-start-at-37-995/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/29/2008-dodge-challenger-srt8-to-start-at-37-995/</guid><description><![CDATA[LOL]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pete]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 29th 2007 9:19AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 arrives at $37,995]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/29/2008-dodge-challenger-srt8-to-start-at-37-995/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/29/2008-dodge-challenger-srt8-to-start-at-37-995/</guid><description><![CDATA[Dodge played it way too safe with the styling on the Challenger. It looks great, but it could also pass for a heavily customized 1970's Charger - a good thing in some respects, but in the long run I think the styling will make the car look old, and fast. Especially when compared to the new Camaro and re-designed Mustang ('10/11?) this car might feel dated.<br><br>There's retro-inspired and then there's retro-focused. The Challenger is definitely the latter. Nonetheless this will sell well, but in the long run it really depends how Dodge fills out the bottom of the lineup - what kind of V6 will it pack and how much - and whether or not Chrysler completely cheaped out on the interior like all of their other recent releases. My mom's '06 PT Cruiser (yea, yea I know) feels like I'm driving a Revell plastic kit car.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Stealth E34]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 29th 2007 9:26AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 arrives at $37,995]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/29/2008-dodge-challenger-srt8-to-start-at-37-995/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/29/2008-dodge-challenger-srt8-to-start-at-37-995/</guid><description><![CDATA[SRT-8 or not, $38k is still kinda steep especially after the dealers get at it.

I think everyone knows it will follow the same price lines as the Charger, 300C, etc.  <br><br>But also just because the SRT-8 cars all cost around 40k doesn't mean it's a value at that.  Take the Mustang for example.  You get better performance for the price if you just buy the Mustang GT and add your own supercharger rather than shelling out the extra cash for the GT500.  It's the same with the Charger and the Challenger.  You'd have better performance for a cheaper price if you buy the base and add your own aftermarket upgrades rather than buy the SRT-8 model.<br><br>If your investing or collecting that is of course a different story and it's more or less going to be a garage queen anyway. So you don't have to prove anything on the track.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chad]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 29th 2007 11:29AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 arrives at $37,995]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/29/2008-dodge-challenger-srt8-to-start-at-37-995/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/29/2008-dodge-challenger-srt8-to-start-at-37-995/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's a beautiful car, great power, but only available with a 5-speed AT??
