70 a day is a good start but I'm sure that number will increase once that line starts hummin'. :D

I just hope there building by vin this would mean my car could be built in the next week or so .

It's really tough to figure out how they are sequencing the builds based on some of the VIN's I see shipping. I suppose we have no choice but to keep our fingers crossed and hope they do build by VIN. As long as we've waited for this car it's nice to know the wait will be over soon.

if what I read earlier is correct, tupperware blew the vin sequence order/ build. He has a much higher vin than several with a d status. I suppose they are being built and that they go in vin# order but time will tell.

They will have to pick up the pace & build 155 plus cars a day to get them all out by time they take a two week mandatory vacation.

WOW 70 cars a day. I guess I never thought much about how many were produced in a day. 155 would be truely awsome:D I have never toured a Detroit plant that produces cars and never really comprehended the amount of cars that roll through on any given day. I hope mine is built on a Wed. Middle of the week and middle of the shift;)

I hope they are all built by the end of May at least.

Well, I actually got to talk to my boss's buddie that works at the plant, apparently they are producing pilot cars off the line to check quality issues, line issues, panel fits etc.... He also said they've been dropping the 6.4 Hemi right into the SRT 6.1 cars, and guess what? they're twisting the rear ends right out of the car. I also found out that out of the production run of 6400 units that are scheduled, he told me that a percentage of them will have the manual tranny in them, go figure, who are they for?

zman I find that hard to believe. If it is true, it sounds like they may be working on 09/10 models - but that can not be, because they need every bit of capacity for pushing the 08's out.
