Dodge Challenger test drive since 2008

Dodge Challenger SRT8: In Old School We Trust

All 16 valves on brake mechanisms are bite to bite. A test drive that surpassed all our expectations. As well as some politically correct data: for 5.1 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h and fuel consumption of 25 liters per 100 km is permitted more? Of course. But over time, it will already be difficult to get off in the harsh times of the fuel and ecological crisis with only an apology.

All 16 valves on brake mechanisms are bite to bite. A test drive that surpassed all our expectations. As well as some politically correct data: for 5.1 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h and fuel consumption of 25 liters per 100 km is permitted more? Of course. But over time, it will already be difficult to get off in the harsh times of the fuel and ecological crisis with only an apology.

Dodge Challenger in America is still historically popular
But since the Challenger model in 2006, which means a challenge from English, made their debut as a showcar, the funeral has instantly expanded in the number of its participants. Everyone wants a new cultural machine everyone wants to get it first. Despite this, the production began quite late. In 2008, the party will enter the market only in homeopathic doses: 6u400 copies, all in the top version of SRT8 with a capacity of 431 hp. And almost everything with complete configuration (navigation system/multimedia package). Special -purpose tires and sliding roof will be added only on the American market by Dodge.

3 days after the start, all copies were sold out
In less than 3 days, 3 days have passed since the start of sales in the United States, as American distributors have already begun to speculate and produce marks from above the market value of an average of $ 20,000. Plus, all this happens absolutely legally. And we are talking about the state with endless opportunities for our citizens. But we are also talking about a century in which hungry classic American pickups often have to sell 40% lower than their usual market value. It seems that this is what makes the car so popular. In Germany, for example, about 50 gray car deisters are already offering to buy a novelty to their customers. But while the animals are on the way, no one can

show, except only in the photographs. Tricky Germans pay for air transportation from the United States. size of 10,000 euros. A considerable margin, but not so big, if you want to really become one of the first owners.

In Europe, this is just a dream
So far, Dodge Challenger will reach the top version through gray suppliers to Europe with several copies the price of its purchase, including all taxes and customs duties, will increase to 60,000 euros. So, some poor Europeans will have to wait for the Challenger SE versions there the V6 V6 engine with a volume of 3.5 liters and a capacity of 253 hp. And the Challenger R/T version is with a 5.7 -liter V8 engine and a capacity of 375 hp.
