This pic is interesting.... http://www.allpar.com/cars/dodge/challenger.html .....I don't see the Srt8 stripes. THe cars in the background must me non-challengers as the mirrors are not body color. Sorry I'm a pc dolt and cant post the pic directly.

Lear,
By allpar stating production has started and show a whole line of chargers to mislead if your not paying close attention, with only 1 challenger. Doesn't look like a lot of challengers were produced. I still don't think they are producing the challenger at capacity. Looks like a lot of chargers are being produced if you ask me. Again, I don't think production will really get started until the next week or the following. This is a ploy to to help everyone settle down until production can really get started. There have been a lot of people misled about delivery of their cars and some becoming angry. They are coming, just not in the spring, but rather the summer. There have been panel alignment issues and framing issues according to allpar. People aren't stupid, especially with the internet an access to a lot of data. Again, this is my take. Believe me I wish I was or am wrong as I have a challenger that has been in D status since 3/27. I believe if we didn't have access to data concerning the challenger which would lead one to think they were being built, we wouldn't be getting mad or upset with dodge. As they really haven't said anything concerning the actual retail production.

RE: assembly line pic
OK I see what the deal is. They put a Challenger in front and hope you don't look no farther from there
I guess I should feel your pain... but I'm waiting for 2009 production and have lots of patience
But I do feel for you guys. I'm sure if the cars could be delivered quickly, they would. they want your money as much as you want their cars. But if they were turned loose before they were picked over real well... then a recall would leave everyone who owns one crying the blues. Its better to wait and have as much ironed out as possible. You should serve no HEMI before its time There will be small issues, there always is. But minimize it as much as possible. Guys I know its hard, but lets be as patient as possible and get the car we deserve.

JH,
Thanks for the pictures at the plant,, I still see a bunch of chargers. I do believe the challengers are starting production, but only a minimal amount at this point. These first cars are not for retail.
