Why would Dodge announce something before the planned event in Chicago? It would only ruin the Chicago announcement, therefore I predict that we'll learn nothing until then. Now...SRTEight, supposedly has placed an order and was able to confirm that it was a SRT8 with 6.1L. This seems great! BUt the dealer also throws in the caveat that he'll need to come in and verify the order. This to me says "we have your money but you don't really have an order until Dodge opens the order bank. At that time, we'll call you and place an official order." That's just my take because I haven't heard of an official order announcement. One good way to check is ask your dealer "how many 2008 Challengers will you get?" and "How many orders have you taken?" This should help...I hope anyway.
