Default RE: my take on classic colors II

Nope, still Go-Man-Go Hopefully renamed to Catch-Me-Copper, is still a smart color for this car. But the Yellow and the sublime would be too, if I can not get my primary choice.

I spoke with my cousin (Regional General Manager) the other day about colors, he told me not to worry, there would be a decent palette. Of course I have no way of verifying this. My cousin would not go into any detail. I did get out of him that the SRT8 color options are limited (duh!) and for more than the cost of paint reasons as bantered about here. <speculation> I was left to infer it had something to do with CAFE laws - the more the larger engines sold all the more fuel efficient ones would have to be. If I were a person given to conspiracy theories I would say Chrysler is afraid more of the larger engine Challengers would be sold making it almost impossible to sell enough fuel efficient cars to meet the CAFE requirements for the company. </speculation>

Still, if I am forking over almost 45K, I want the color I want, so it is to the back of the queue for me (again). First waiting on a manual tranny, now on the color.... (I suppose I could always get an R/T, ... naw.) 8^)
