Dodge Announces Official Production Number for 2008 Challenger SRT8
Ever since the car was first announced, speculation has been rampant as to just how many 2008 Challenger SRT8s Dodge was planning to build. Chrysler had originally specified a limited edition of 5,000 cars, later confusing the matter by reporting a much higher number of pre-orders, more than 9,000 of them.
The matter seems to be settled now though, as the automaker announced today that it would in fact produce 6,400 examples of the coupe. Good news for Challenger fans that got on the waiting list early, and great news for sellers who are set to make record profits on Challenger mark-ups.
For those of us who won’t be picking up a box-fresh SRT8 the day they hit dealerships, we offer the solace of pictures in our gallery below. Of course, stay tuned to WINDING ROAD news next month as we bring you live Challenger goodness from the car’s launch at the 2008 Chicago Auto Show.

Yeah, it looks like Dodge leaned and stretched the shape to give it a less bloated appearance.

To me it looks like the S14 Nissan 240sx/Silvia.

Pocky, you sound an awful low like that sodomy victim Bert who bitched like a girl having her period in the last Challenger discussion.

Looks good, but 4000+ pounds just does not make for a great car.

I have no idea who Bert is; but if two completely different see the same side profile and rear design then I would venture a guess that YES, it does indeed look like the S14 Silvia. Very very similar.
