Dodge has done a fantastic job of teasing the media and car buffs alike with their upcoming Challenger coupe. Available in several different trim levels and powered by several different engines, Challenger goes on sale this spring as a 2008 model year vehicle. Pricing was announced yesterday for the fire-breathing 425 horsepower Challenger SRT-8, and bidding will open at $44,995. The Brampton-built muscle-coupe was previously announced to be priced at $37,995 USD. The car will feature a plentiful list of go-fast touches, like 20-inch wheels, HID lighting and a 6.1 liter HEMI V8 breathing out through a dual-exhaust system.
