Well welcome board our family friendly forum.

We already have tons of information on our forum you can read about.

The short version is there is a 2008 Challenger (6.1L/Automatic only) limited edition which means it will have a numbered plaque on the dash. People have been able to buy them since December 3 but for $10-$20K over MSRP but in limited quantities (5K). The limited quantity number has been changing. The production version will be unveiled on Feb 6 at the Chicago Auto show. We hope to hear more about it then. Those 2008 models will be delivered in late Spring. In July approx. you will be able to order a 2009 with a manual transmission and those should arrive in the Fall. We are speculating that there will be more of those and will not have a numbered plaque and should be cheaper. They should also have available V-6 engines as well.

Here is the official press release:
