First official Challenger SRT8 photos leak onto the web
It's no secret to what the 2008 Dodge Challenger will look like. We've seen dozens of spy photos, reader-submitted photos of a production Challenger cruising the streets, and more recently we've seen it in on the cover of Car and Driver's April issue. That was enough for Autoweek to decide to post a few official shots on their web site, who didn't want to get left behind. More official photos and information will surely come shortly. Whether or not it's before the Challenger's introduction at the Chicago Auto Show is the question.

And it's built by people who make tractors and eat fast food. Typical...slow, heavy, ugly Chrysler product.

right...because I speak my OPINION and you don't like it, I'm a troll?
Yeah ok, go back to doing what you're told and follow the rest of the sheep on here.

You sound like a troll to me. And I'm a Chevy guy. The definition of troll is someone who posts something inflamatory, so as to get a rise out of someone.
You trolled.
Frank 4:28PM (1/25/2008)
No, it's because of your stupid comment that "it's built by people who make tractors and eat fast food". What does that have to do with anthing? If you don't like the car just say so and stop putting down people you never met. Now have a nice day.

Mango, your parents never treated you to a happy meal when you were young? As cheap of a quality McDonalds food can be, I'm surprised there are some Americans out there who haven't eaten McDonalds food. If you have had something from McDonalds, than you are what you would say "trash" just like the rest of us.

Looks lovely, but the offical photos are pretty much exactly the same as the non official photos that have been leaking out for the past year!

Looking at the Challenger, can anyone explain to me why Ford must have added those fugly side indicators to Mustang? Concept haven't got those...
I thought they were something that was just necessary to meet US regulations,requirements.
They (and the big always-black plastic side mirrors) are the two major problems I have with Mustang.
Now there's a proof thay don't need to be there.
FoMoCo, I hate you for that, and you deserve the sale-declines that are about to come with Challenger, so I won't feel sorry for you, and even though I am Ford-fan I hope Challenger will hurt your Mustang sales very badly.

Big mirrors are nice and practical. But always black? Yeah that's no good

side markers have been mandatory on cars since 1968

I'll wait for the 4.7 V8 in Celery Green with white interior.

I'd love that combo but white interiors have (mostly) gone the way of carburated motors...too bad.

I must just miss the demographics on either side. I just cant get into it. Other than the headlights, I'm not into it. Big, heavy looking. decidedly reminiscent of the tanks in the 70s before the bottom dropped out. looks bigger than the 69 it is fashioned after. though I guess that is typical. the mustang looks like the 60s version amped up about 20%.
new camaro is definitely the best option out there. we'll see what the new stang looks like.

Looking like a 70s tank was the point. Its not for everybody. But if you look past the skin, this is a competent fast vehicle. There are folks who want a proper muscle car, which historically is a large passenger car with a monster of a motor under the hood and aggressive styling. Challenger delivers the goods for that.
I agree Camaro has a broader appeal.
Allen McCormick 8:33PM (3/10/2008)
chevy is so far behind and the camaro wont look anything like the concept and it will be over priced with no after market parts to make it YOUR car instead of the car chevy wants you to drive, mustang is still the best option out there.

Sorry, guys. When I said LOSER, I was referring to whatever troll posted a link to that porn site.
