The 2009 Dowdge Challenger is now underway in North America. The Dodge company says that a reported 500 of this gorgeous vehicle will be unveiling across the states very soon. There are going to be a lot of happy campers out there riding around in this sporty new head-turner.

“We can say that two [Challenger] SEs have already been delivered to buyers, and both were in Ohio,” wrote Mark Mallie, Dodge Challenger marketing manager, in a recent posting. “You’re the first on the block, the state and the nation.”

This unveiling of the next big hit since the Corvette ZR1 is going to be something the American country should be very proud about, having us the first to see this awesome ride, and the first to have it distributed out amongst the public view.

Who here doesn’t love a good thrill ride? Chrysler knows how much the average consumer loves to drive fast with as much power behind the wheel as they can muster (or is legal). That is why they are providing a drag package on the up and coming Challenger – which was shown off at the SEMA back in 2006.

If rumors are true we can expect the drag pack to be equipped with the hi-po version like that found on the Hemi V8’s and the 5.9 liter Magnum. The National Hot Rod Association will be inspecting the package themselves and determine whether or not it is ready to be certified for racing.

Once it passes it will be entered into the Stock Eliminator class. Patricia Georgevich a spokeswoman from Chrysler stated that Chrysler is plannind on introducing the new car in July.
