Not to burst your bubble white, but I am all but positive that the countdown is to the date and time in February at the Chicago auto show that the production model Challenger will be revealed. The date matches up perfectly with when the "general public" part of the show starts.
Not to mention the fact that logistically speaking releasing a sports car onto the mrket in February doesn't seem to make much sense.

**EDIT WOW, I was SOOOO late to the party, sorry white!!!!!
