Pricing

Chrysler has already disclosed pricing for the Dodge Challenger SRT8, which will start at $37,995 — including destination — with Dodge already accepting orders. Customers will have a choice of three colors — Black, Silver or HEMI Orange — with all three coming with carbon fiber racing stripes. Deliveries will begin in the spring.

The first offering of Challenger SRT8s will come with a numbered dash plaque, with all using an automatic transmission.

Pricing for other Challenger models has yet to be revealed, but an announcement is expected to be made sometime in mid-2008.

Options

Customers who shell out the cash for a Challenger SRT8 — including the $2,100 gas-guzzler tax — will receive a car that is pretty much fully loaded. Only three options will be available: a set of summer tires instead of all-season rubber for $50, a MyGig Multimedia Infotainment system with navigation for $890 and a power sunroof for $950.

Pimp rotating wall of rims at Sema 2007. A few of these would be the perfect accessories to pimp your ride.

The Bugatti Veyron is one mean ride. With a top speed of 252 mph, there is nothing that can really contend with it. It’s sleek look, and high tech weight-shifting/body lowering mechanisms help with acceleration, velocity, balance, steering, and grip. The Bugatti can only hold enough gas so that when it’s at top speed, it can not travel for more than 10 minutes. This is basically a safety precaution, not only to be gentle on the engine, but because the tires could literally explode due to all the friction and heat.

VW Group’s 252mph, 1001bhp W16-engined supercar, the Bugatti Veyron is definately one pimped ride. Faster than any Honda, Chevy, Toyota, Subaru, Cadillac, etc.

The long-awaited Nissan GT-R has finally made it to U.S. soil, and based on the crowd’s response, it is already a big hit. Whistles, applause and cheers welcomed the Nissan supercar as it made its North American debut in Los Angeles.

Decked out in silver, the GT-R’s aggressive styling and smooth looks in the front and circle taillights in the rear put together an aerodynamic package that screams high performance. In Nissan’s words, it “evokes the lines of a well-trained athlete.”

With a lap time of 7:38 on the world famous Nürburgring track in Germany, the GT-R logged in one of the fastest times by a production-spec vehicle to date. The supercar is powered by an all-new, hand-built, VR series 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 that produces 480 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. It is mated to a 6-speed transmission and fast shifting can be done via paddle shifters.

But Nissan wanted to emphasize the GT-R isn’t just a car for the track; it’s suited for daily driving as well. There is seating for four passengers and trunk space for two golf bags or suitcases. A cockpit-style instrument panel features a video-game-inspired multifunction display that can give the driver 11 pages of information from acceleration to steering angle to brake pedal pressure.

The GT-R will arrive in showrooms during June 2008, with a starting price of $69,850 and $71,900 for the premium version. With performance stats showing 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of more than 190 mph, most will think of those numbers as champagne stats at a beer bargain.
