    I just bought a ‘09 srt8 and it is a fun car to drive. I’ve been a fan of the challenger since they came back, but don’t know much about them. I only bought this one because my wife loved it and I’m just curious if the ‘09 red SRT8 is decent car to own for value. Judging by her reaction I won’t be selling for a long time so hoping it holds a little value. thanks everyone this forum has been awesome for all kinds of info. Happy to e part of the challenger family.

    Congratulations on your 2009 SRT and welcome to the forum!

    I have a 2009 SRT and still love it after 14 years of ownership. Although it has held its value, I don't expect any sizable appreciation, if any, until 20-30 years.

    Here are the 2009 Challenger production numbers. Only 9,580 SRTs were built that year (1,549 in Tor-Red).

    Check out the informative interviews of the designers of the 2006 Challenger concept and the 2008 production car. They really give you incredible insight into how the retro-styled Challenger evolved from the drawing board to reality.
