There’s no doubt that the new Dodge Challenger looks menacingly attractive in black but there are a couple of things we don’t like about this blacked out SRT-8 from Platinum Motorsport. First of all, we we’re not too fond about the fussy alloy rim design and second, the 20-inch front and 22-inch rear AGETRO S250 wheels make the rear end of the Challenger look like its sitting on stilts. Check out more pics of the Challager after the jump. -Continued

The thing we love most about image/graphics editing programs is that they allow you to explore the boundaries of your imagination. Anything is possible, even a Dodge Challenger version of the BMW M1 Homage Concept (see photos here) that was created by a Russian artist that goes by the nickname Remio. As weird as it may sound, not only do we find the end result convincing but as a matter of fact, we actually like the Dodge M1 or if you prefer, BMW Challenger.Via: Cardesign
More of a result of pipe-dreaming than actual inside info, the 2010 Plymouth Road Runner Concept that’s featured in the August/September issue of Mopar Enthusiast magazine is based on the new Dodge Challenger using styling cues from the ’71-’72 model year Road Runners. The folks at Mopar Enthusiast beleive that if the car were to be produced today, it should be powered by a HEMI 5.7L V8 as standard with 6.1L and 7.0L V8 HEMIs being offered as optional equipment. -Continued

While not as snazzy as the Challenger SRT8’s media kit (see here), the full brochure for the 2009 Dodge Challenger has its strong points. The first thing that caught our attention were the scrumptious 20-inch Polished Heritage Alloys that are standard on the R/T Classic. They look absolutely stunning and if we set to buy Dodge’s bad-boy muscle car, the retro-themed alloys would be our first choice. Check out the brochure after the jump.
For those of you that lack the funds to obtain the new Challenger coupe, Microsoft (through MSN Autos) and Dodge have just launched an online competition with the grand prize being a black 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T with a 6-speed manual transmission.Link: DreamDesignDrive
The Tonight Show’s host, Jay Leno has uploaded a video on his… GM sponsored website dubbed “Jay Leno’s Garage” featuring his most recent acquisition, the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8. Among other things, Jay Leno states that he is very happy to see that Dodge/Chrysler returned back to American hands and that it's creating products like the Challenger. Of course, Jay Leno seems to forget that the decision to create the Challenger was taken during the time that Daimler controlled Chrysler and that Dodge’s modern muscle car features components derived from the discontinued W210 Mercedes-Benz E-Class… -Video after the jump
Let the mods begin; as soon as the guys over at Speedfactory received their first 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 they went straight to work adding a 5.5 lb supercharger as the first step (Stage 1). According to Speedfactory’s initial dyno results, the 6.1-liter supercharged Hemi V8 delivers 496Hp to the rear wheels, meaning that there should be around 600Hp at the crankshaft. Check out more pictures of the Speedfactory prepped Challenger SRT8 along with the dyno results after the jump. -Continued
