True that Zman. If you can smuggle some pictures out via camera-phone that'd be pretty sick. Good luck!

RETAIL PRODUCTION HAS NOT STARTED...

April 21st is still the scheduled "Job1" start date. Slight but unlikely chance this will be moved up a week.

A few will roll off the line before then.

ONLY pilots have been run so far.

Chrysler/Dodge will issue a press release when production starts, this will be "big" news for the company, and believe me they will be all over this. There will be photos of the first one(s) to come down the line, photos showing proud employees arround the vehicle(s).

What happens to the pilot cars? Do they tear them down to re-use their parts? Keep them for crash testing? Give them hopeful enthusiasts posting on dodgechallenger?

On allpar someone posted that the 2009 price lists will be out the first week of May.

Also, a factory worker stated that, starting this Monday, consumer orders for 2008 Challengers will start rolling off the assembly line at the rate of 70 cars per day. [sm=happybounce.gif]

hope they can up the production rate, at 70 cars per day will take 90 work days that would put the last ones being delivered in sept..the rate should be 270 a day
