First 2008 Challenger sells for $400,000

1st Production 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 Sells for $400K
http://www.thehemi.com/news.php?id=20080122-1
Limited-edition 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 features a 6.1-liter HEMI V-8 engine, HEMI Orange paint, carbon-fiber-like hood stripes and a chrome fuel filler cap
Carbon-fiber-like? That's not cool. :-?
Only 6,400 Challenger SRT8 vehicles will be produced for sale in the United States for 2008; more than 4,300 orders placed the first day the all-new Dodge Challenger SRT8 went on sale
I think the last time I heard it was 5,500 cars.
Nice to hear they've at least raised that a few.
The 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 will make its worldwide debut on Feb. 6 at the Chicago Auto Show.
An interesting bit of news to remember!
