Reed Brothers Dodge, Rockville, MD Has the New 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8

Feb. 2, 2009 - PRLog -- For 2009, Dodge has added something called the Track Pak to the options list of the Challenger SRT8 (and the V-8 powered R/T for that matter). This adds two important features. The first is a limited-slip differential, always nice to have in your muscle car. The second is the one worth crowing about: A six-speed manual transmission. Ripped from the Dodge Viper along with its dual clutch, this transforms the Challenger SRT8. If it was lively before, now it's downright exuberant.

While all three versions of the Dodge Challenger share their exterior styling, the SRT8 has a few notable differences. The rear spoiler, for example is flat black; the Challenger R/T's is body color, and the Challenger SE doesn't even have one. The chin spoiler in front is deeper, and the various badges on the exterior let it be known that this is an SRT8 or 6.1-liter Hemi. Then there's the hood stripe; patterned after carbon fiber, it accents the hood bulge nicely.

Inside, the SRT8 gets unique seats and standard leather upholstery. The seats are awesome, wide and comfortable, but with plenty of grip for hard cornering. The dash also sports a standard performance computer, with settings for acceleration times, cornering and braking loads, and other fun things.

The 2009 Dodge Challenger is truly a muscle car for the 21st century, with the power and the technology to back it up.
