What about the first statements from dodge was they weren't building any 09 orange srts. Now they say we are listening to what you want & hemi orange is available noiw for the 09's, were we misled or what?
Hemi-orange, the carbon-fiber hood strip and the dash plaque were all intended to make the 2008 Challenger unique (and sell foir big $$$). Two things happened to extend the color to the 2009 SRTs- lobbying by Bob Frederick (redletterdodge.com) and disappointed buyers who could not get a 2008. Rather than lose these potential 2009 sales, the color was extended. That being said, Hemi-orange will disappear as a color option half-way or less through the 2009 model run.
