That's awesome. Hopefully we will see a Camaro with a LS9 in it at SEMA as well.

wow, they put the Viper V10 into the Challenger, then completely cover the engine with an ugly pig-nose scoop..

That is a terrible looking shaker.

I think the front bumper cutout and splitter is worse than the shaker.

I like it!

There is an orange SRT-8 nearby, brought from the US by local dealer. He's asking $56K CDN for it. I think he may actually end up losing on the deal, with the economy now making people cautious on their expenditures.

Anyhow, I went there with my wife, and she said "wow, i don't like that car". She doesn't like the colour, the shape, its presence, etc... Then it struck me, it must really be a guys' car. A muscle car with power appeal. Men go for that sort of thing, not women though.

Is there any demographic data on Charger buyers at this point?

Absoloutely. I was hoping this would be a pretty cool car with the Viper motor in it. The Shaker looks horrible compared to the origional shaker. It completely covers the V10(which looks good). When its not running, you could have a V6 under there for all I know. I think its a cool car, but its like they got 90% there, and forgot to finish it.

Man, I guess the HP wars are still kicking if Dodge produces this, Ford is only a blower upgrade away from 600hp on the GT500.

Too bad it will sound horrible, just like the Vipers. Otherwise, it is pretty cool.

Heh, they need to tap the guys that did the Boss 351 V10 Mule for exhaust tuning.

I don't like the lower valence on the front bumper, scoop is a bit much but the striping and obviously power-train are where they should be. Awesome stuff

I like the Viper more.. The challenger looks even worse next to it. I've seen them on the road and have yet to be impressed.
