'08 Challenger SRT8 February 09, 2008, 02:23:18 PM http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/FirstDrives/articleId=124470Well, there you have it. Chrysler builds yet another performance car that weighs over 4,000 lbs and isn't available with a manual transmission. To be honest, I don't really like the front end of the car. The massive, solid bumper design just seems out of proportion to the inset grille and headlights. I think "big chin" whenever I see a shot of the front. Quote Selected

'08 Challenger SRT8 Reply #9 – February 09, 2008, 06:29:40 PM Isn't the Shelby GT500 dangerously close to 4000 pounds?In this age of mobile office/livingroom/bedroom/spa/entertainment center cars full of airbags, ABS, and other nanny-the-occupants safety gear 4000 pound cars are going to become the norm, not the exception. I think a modern Civic weighs almost as much as a Fox Birdcat... Quote Selected

Chrysler builds yet another performance car that weighs over 4,000 lbs and isn't available with a manual transmission.At least not yet. All 2008 models will be automatics only, but 2009 models will have a Tremec 6-speed manual available. QuoteTo be honest, I don't really like the front end of the car. The massive, solid bumper design just seems out of proportion to the inset grille and headlights. I think "big chin" whenever I see a shot of the front.I completely agree, the overall shape of the car screams vintage E-Body but it just looks like a much "chunkier" version of the original.
