Jay Leno's New '08 Challenger SRT8

[DodgeInfoCenter]

Earlier this month, Jay Leno added the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 to his impressive collection of new and classic cars. If any of you are interested in checking it out, Jay is featuring his new Challenger SRT8 on his website this week, JayLenosGarage.com. The feature includes a video segment of Jay comparing his new 2008 Challenger to his classic 1970 Challenger, along with glamour shots of his SRT8.

If you want to see more of the ’08 Challenger posing with Hollywood’s finest, visit the Dodge Flickr site, or check out the Redletterdodge blog to catch the latest Challenger updates.

I’ll be around if you have any questions.

Cheers,

Will

Very Nice!!! It looks like 'Mother Mopar" really (and finally)
got her act together with this one!!! Hope the obscene
fuel prices of late don't kill off sales of the 2009's because
this car could really revive Chrysler!

2008 Charger R/T is rated for 15 / 23 MPG.
Maybe a Challenger R/T will be 16 / 24 MPG?
(With the new gen HEMI giving a 5% bump.)

I wonder if the 6-speed will do even better?
(Although I do not think it comes with MDS.)

Ok, I came across the info...

2009 Challenger R/T
16/23 automatic
15/23 manual

I was expecting the manual to do better, especially on the highway.
But I guess the MDS actually does a better job than that 6th gear...
