08 SRT vs. 09 SRT
So, I need to clarify the differences between the 08 SRT and the 09 SRT. I believe they are the following:
08
Base Price $37,320
No Manual Trans (Gas Guzzler Tax $2,100)
SRT Group II Included
MyGIG / Nav Included
Tor Red not available
Limited Edition Badge
09
Base Price $39,320
Manual Trans for $695 (Gas Guzzler Tax drops to $1,700 for Manual, still $2,100 for Auto)
SRT Group II for $1,045
MyGIG / Nav for $890 with SRT Group II or $1,240 without SRT Group II
Tor Red available
No Limited Edition Badge
Are there any other differences or corrections needed to this list?

'09 SRT8s (both Auto and Manual) receive a true Limited Slip Differential
'08 SRT8s utilize a brake-lock differential (electronically simulated limited slip)

I also saw where the manual trans will have "special tuned exhaust"...whatever that may be. In addition, the EPS fully "off" is only on manual trans as well, thus unique to '09...for now.

The gas guzzler tax on the 2009s has been reduced for both the manual and the automatic. It is now $1,701.
Also, the security alarm is now standard equipment on the 2009.

If the ESP is the same set up as the charger, it costs about 4$ and 20 minutes work to set up your own toggle switch to knock it out completely. If the same Charger set up works, you basically press a toggle to disable the esp, and then power cycle the car to restore it...very easy to do, and Ive had zero problems with my R/T in over 2 years of modding it as such.
