With the US auto industry falling on some hard times, Dodge is looking to it’s past to help solidify it’s future. With Jessica Simpson having strutted her stuff as Daisy in the recent Dukes of Hazzard movie, it is now Dodge’s turn to tap into that same nostalgia and re-introduce the Challenger. The Challenger is most famously known as the General Lee in The Dukes of Hazzard and it is a serious beast. The new Challenger comes in three versions, with the big daddy version the SRT8, coming in with a massive 6.1 liter HEMI V8, 425 hp engine!

Our boy Wes who we have told you about in the past is in line to get ones of these beasts. When he picks his up we’ll post some pictures and let you know if it is all that it is cracked up to be.
