We just can’t get enough of the 2008 Challenger around here

Published by drew under cars, muscle cars

Nice article over at Winding Road about our current favorite car around here, the 2008 Challenger SRT-8.

An axiom from the world of industrial design goes like this: If something looks right, it probably is. Examples are legion, from the classic Eames chair to Raymond Loewy’s Coke bottle. This saying also rings true in the world of cars. There was nothing right about the exterior design of the Pontiac Aztek. In contrast, from any angle the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 looks right. Very right.

The still pics had me, but this video just puts it over the top for me. Check out this video of the Challenger playing in the desert from autoblog.com. I’m completely in love with the look and sound of the Challenger in motion.
