Muscle car enthusiasts, rev up your engines, Dodge has announced pricing for the all-new 2009 Challenger line. Styled like its '70's namesake, the base price for the five-passenger SE coupe starts at $21,995 and comes with a 3.5-liter V6 engine, producing 250 horsepower. The R/T model, starting at $29,995, features a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 engine producing an estimated 370 hp. The high-performance SRT8 model is priced at $39,995, plus gas-guzzler tax. It has a five-speed automatic transmission matched with a 6.1-liter Hemi V8 engine producing 425 horsepower. A six-speed manual transmission is available. All prices include the $675 destination charge.

Dodge dealers are accepting orders now; the Challenger arrives in showrooms this fall. With Chrysler auto sales struggling, we’ll see if this model can help muscle the company out of its slump.
