"Not only will this exclusive heritage colour remain unique to the Dodge brand, it adds another fresh and exciting element to our modern North American muscle coupe." Production of the 2011 Green With Envy Challenger R/T Classic and SRT8 models will start in April 2011 at the Brampton Assembly Plant in Ontario. 2011 Dodge Challenger R/T Classic Upgraded for the performance enthusiast, the new 2011 Dodge Challenger R/T Classic includes a new performance- tuned suspension with rail-like handling, more power from the 5.7-litre HEMI V-8 and more standard equipment.
