According to the Detroit Free Press, Dodge has announced the pricing for their limited-edition Challenger SRT8 with the 6.1 liter Hemi engine: $37,995, including destination charges. That’s actually very competitive for the top-of-the-line Mopar pony car, and is only a couple grand more than I paid for my GTO after the sport appearance package.

Unfortunately, we all know that nobody is going to get their hands on one of the limited SRT8s for sticker price. Dealer markup is going to kill this one, just like it killed the Shelby. If you want a Challenger, best to wait until year two or three of production. (By then, they’ll have the bugs ironed out anyway.)
