My First 2009 R/T spotted Today
 
I saw my first 2009 R/T on the way home from work today. It was black and had the 18" wheels. It looked really nice but I did notice it set somewhat higher then my SRT8. No I did not have CRUSH or yes, I would have jumped him.:D

It's amazing that you see so few Challengers on the street. I've had mine since June and I have seen "ONE" on the street. The dealers have them, but they don't seem to be moving. Are the dealers still trying to get MSRP and above for Challengers?

The SRT is 1" lower than an R/T.

My wife went to work this evening and called me up to tell me there was an RT in Titanium in the parking lot at her work. This is the first one we have seen around here. I live about 45 miles SW of Chicago.

A guy at my work has a '08 SRT and I have seen 1 TorRed SE across the street, but no R/T's.

Since you weren't in Crush, he was just looking down on you as being a non-Challenger driver. ;)

I have seen 2 Challengers thanks to Chris and wife... [sm=groupwave.gif] ...a few sitting on lots but none driving.

I've had mine for a little over a month now and have not seen any others in the area. I was eating at Pizza Hut tonight and a distant relative came up to me and told me that he had seen an orange one with fender stripes on a dealership lot about an hour away from us. He also said that it had 18 inch wheels, which made it look quite different from my 20 inch ones.

Kind of makes you wonder how those individuals that paid big $$$$'s to be the first on the block with a new Challenger are feeling today, since I feel that way everyday.....as I to have only seen a few Challengers on the road here in the Phoenix area and I didn't have to pay a lot for the feeling of driving a "rarely seen" car.
Now that I think of it...."CRUSH" may have been the first Challenger I actually saw in person.............

I'm still stuck at having just seen two besides my own: a silver R/T that was leaving the dealership the same day I got mine and a black SRT at a Friday-night car-gathering burger joint. Tim Duncan STILL hasn't come across town to visit me, so I haven't even seen his. ;)

Got off work yesterday and headed toward home. Driving past the NAPA store there was a red R/T with the dealer plate inserts in the parking lot. Stopped to talk to take a look and the NAPA machinist came out with the new owner pointed at me and told the new owner about mine. Talked to the new owner and his son for probably half an hour sharing thoughts about the Challengers and performance ideas and such. First one I have seen out in the wild unexpectedly. Apparently the black one my wife caught a glimpse of passing through town the other day was a black R/T from the next town... they have seen it a few times cruisig around. Maybe they will start showing up around town now... we"ll see...

To date, I've only seen two. MossOnaRocs Black SRT and the Silver SE in my dealers lot. Ive been visiting that one a lot lately. Just to look at the lines. Its parked in front of the food court, so Ill grab a burger or something and sit and stare at it while I eat.

when I went to pick up my R/T I saw 4 or 5 Challengers going up and down Telegraph, all three trim levels.

It was for me and CRUSH is a Texas car, I refused to get raped by the AZ dealerships.

The Texas town you purchased your Challenger in, holds a great little Dodge Charger Show most every year in the town square. I never knew they even had a Dodge dealer....but then I really never checked out the entire town...just the car show.

I noticed on E-bay that a dealer in Colorado has three R/T's but he's wanting around 5K over sticker. He must not listen to the news.

Yes they are getting msrp +, I just picked up my R/T, I just had to have one. I have seen 3 or 4 on the road but not many.

Ya very nice car always wanted one this weeked I will be at the track, this car wants to run I must give it what it wants.

I have a blue 5.7 R/T 635 miles :D

Congrats Rozwell1

Be easy on the launch. The weak link in the SRT8's and R/T's is the half shaft.
