I can’t tell you how excited I was a couple of years ago when I heard about the resurgence of the pony car wars. Being an original muscle car nut, I was among the many disappointed aficionados in the ‘70’s when legends like the Corvette had less then 200 horsepower because of the gas crunch. Now I do understand that there is nothing politically correct about driving a vehicle with over 400 horsepower that gets, well, not much gas mileage today, but let’s be honest; for some of us, the roar of a pure American V8 is unparalleled and the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 definitely got my blood boiling. I could spend a lot of time talking about the Challenger, but this video will give you just a taste of what it can do.
Unfortunately for me, it’s going to be a long wait for the Camaro to make it’s debut because we probably won’t see one till early ’09. I have been assured by our contacts at GM that there will indeed be one in the press fleet, and I certainly hope so because I’m guessing that the first production run has already sold out.
Anyway, enjoy the video, and I for one am thrilled that GM, Ford, and Chrysler started the wars in the late '60's, and GM and Chrysler decided to jump in the fray once more. We need to enjoy it while we can.
