It’s Official, 6,400 Challenger SRT8’s To Be Built For 2008
After much speculation on the exact number of 2008 Challenger SRT8’s that will be built Mark Mallie, Dodge Challenger Brand Manager confirmed 6,400 units will be produced. They arrived at this number after volume and market feasibility tests were conducted while the concept was making it’s rounds on the auto show circuit. To keep the exclusivity for each 2008 owner all Challengers will be given a unique interior dash plaque with whatever your production number is out of 6,400 (1 of ,6400). With over 4,300 orders place on the first day for the 2008 Challenger it does not leave many to be sold to the public.
The unveiling of the production version will be February 6th at the Chicago Auto Show so check back often and soon for all the latest Challenger news and photos.

Wow, that does not leave a lot of hope for regular joe buyers like myself who have been dreaming about this car for 3 years. That sucks. Way to go Dodge, nice to hang the carrot in front of our faces then only make a few. You know people will be buying these for upwards of 100 grand and I simply can not compete with that. Shame when you can get a Jeep with the same engine for 41 grand. Really really really sad Dodge. You really know how to kill a good car buzz.
