Before you get your hopes up, it is just a black car with red stripes…

Anyway, I bought it a few weeks ago, and finally got around to posting some pictures.

It’s a 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8

…anyway, I really did not want the red stripes (sorry black and red fans), so I had them replaced with white…

I know it seems wasteful to buy a car with a stripe just to replace the stripe with a different color, but I did it that way for 2 reasons…

1) For some reason white is not an option in 2012

2) If I just bought a car with no stripe I would have had to wait 6 to 8 weeks

I should have probably just gone with silver, but I think the white looks pretty good. (the available colors for the stripe are silver, gray, red, black)

powerfull car, congratulations, pure muscule american!

Hoooo my eyes are burning!

Gosh this car is wonderful!!!

Can you let us know the price in USD?
I feel really curious about it.

The MSRP in 2012 for the SRT-8 model starts around $46,000 USD, but somehow the price climbs a bit higher than that. And unfortunately no dealer will negotiate that price either.

The Challenger was originally around in the 1970s, but they stopped making them in the early 80s. I was not alive back then, and I was never interested in that car. But when Dodge reintroduced the Challenger in 2008 I instantly wanted one. Well, 4 years later and I finally got one!

Some numbers if you are interested…

Engine: 6.4L V8
Power: 470 HP (350 kW)
Torque: 470 ft-lbs (637 Nm)
0 to 60 MPH (0 to 100 kph): under 5 seconds
1/4 mile (0.4 km): mid-12 seconds
Fuel economy: 14MPG city, 23MPG highway (USA gallons)(6 city, 9.75 highway km/L)

After owning it for a little over 3 weeks, I really think I made the right choice by going with the car 🙂 I was really tempted to pick up a Ford Mustang (hadn’t decided which one), but in the end I felt the Challenger looked cooler and had a nicer interior.
