Right now, across the US, there have been over 6000 pre-sales taken, but they are only making a run of 5000. Do the math...
It's hard to "do the math" when BOTH of your numbers are way off...
Really? Go tell CNN, who backs my numbers.
"It had been reported that Chrysler would build only 5,000 Challenger's for the 2008 model year, but more than 6,000 have already been ordered. The company may increase production to meet additional demand, Chrysler spokeswoman Kathy Graham said."

EDIT: I just went and asked our owner and he said he's been told there are actually only going to be about 4700-4800 actually for sale.
Sorry, but CNN is WRONG and so is your owner. Chrysler has NEVER officially stated that they would build 5000 Challengers for MY 2008. This was an unofficial number that someone came up with some months back and it spread across various news sources and across the net.
As of December 20th, Dodge had taken exactly 8,851 pre-orders on the 2008 Challenger. At that point in time 7,200 2008 models were scheduled for production (6,500 for the U.S. and 700 for Canada). That number has now been raised. The pre-order number as of today is well over 9000.
