Cuda ,
You've got it, well maybe the carbon fiber hood stripes, but the way things continue I doubt it. It surely isn't time as the 09's will be right on the heels. Is a high number badge worth more than an 09, I doubt it. If I could get an 09srt in a few months guarranteed I would do it right now. As I am starting to get alittle agrevated with the way they are handling the 08's.
Is anyone intersested in an 08 hemi orange?
I feel ya. I had two deposits on SRT8 '08 Hemi Orange cars, each at different dealers. One was in C with no VIN, one the dealership refused to tell me the status of it claiming they didn't know. Long story short, just this past Saturday I started emailing Bob Frederick from redletterdodge.com and I now have a deposit with Bob and my car was ordered within minutes of ordering opening up on Monday @ 9:00am. Bob has instilled more confidence and made me feel more comfortable about the car, my order, himself, and his dealership, than *any* other car purchase I've looked into. After a slight bit of hesitation about whether or not I wanted an '08, today I went in and pulled both my deposits from both of those dealers. Given my local dealers and how things have gone I'm not even confident I would've even gotten the car, and my 'best price' was $5k over MSRP. Bob has assured me MSRP pricing on my '09.
Unless you REALLY want the numbered plaque and/or the carbon fiber stripes, I can only advise finding a great dealer for an '09 and gaining the advantage of the optional manual transmission and true limited-slip differential. Bob is out-of-state for me, but the piece of mind and customer service I have received is beyond excellent and I can rest comfortably that I know I will get my car.
