VIDEO: Another Challenger SRT8 sending rubber to the afterlife
Video posted after the jump
Ahh, YouTube: the equivalent of morning cartoons for us grown-ups, only now we drink coffee with our Fruity Pebbles. The post title pretty much sums this up. As more people get their hands on SRT8 Dodge Challengers, more videos of wanton tire massacre will surface. Today's round comes via MyRide, which set about tagging the tarmac at Willow Springs with a silver example. When the Camaro finally comes out, we expect to see approximately one bajillion videos exactly like this, with at least half sporting the inevitable Dead Milkmen soundtrack. Thanks for the tip, David!

How frickin' awesome! I still can't believe the Challenger is back and I'm going to be driving mine soon. It even looks good in silver.

Don't get me wrong, I love Chrysler. My girlfriend has a 300c while I own an S550. But this idea is stupid.
If you take a long look at the Challenger's history, it was discontinued to to the gas crisis years ago. Now, gas is higher than ever and they are re-releasing a car with the same SRT8 that gets just 14 MPG city-highway (or less) ?
Madness...These things are gonna sit in lots after the intial craze over them is over. The only Chargers that will continue to sell will be the 2.7's and 3.5's a year or so from now.
This thing shoulda been a hybrid.

flashpoint, you're retarded. If you can't afford to put gas in it, dont buy it.
i cant wait to see some of this action in the flesh. Such a badass car.

Let's also mention that this is the first time we see the DODGE reverse light light-up. It looks as good as the tires lit-up.

First? Lol, Man more people need to hit up cars n coffee, there were two there yesterday. Hell I didn't even notice the black one after three trips around the parking lot - instead I saw it lurking in a photo next to a phantom. Also the front camber seemed odd in the Orange one Edmunds was driving.

Hopefully this works for non facebook types:

zamafir, that Hemi Orange one you saw was pre-production. you can tell by the fact that the DODGE in the reverse light is clear. but on production it is written in black. nice try though.

Enjoy it while it lasts. With new CAFE rules round the corner this could be one of the last chances for tire-smoking.

Big deal. A weak burnout session with a lame automatic challenger. Who would even want one of these with an auto?? Get a life, get a stick.

I'm tired of burnout videos. I know this car weighs 2 tons and is about as quick as a mustang gt, but can we see some high speed action?
I used to do burnouts in my volvo 240d. No big deal.

Yes, but most people wouldn't understand the irony and criticism in that song around here.

I ran over my neighbor!
Could not help it. It just started in my head..."hey Jack, what's happening? Oh, I don't know..."

they should have installed a LSD...one wheel burn outs are a little amateur o_O...either case, nice car and nice exhaust...
