cuda340, wouldn't it be shorter considering the concept was built on the LX or am I missing something?

The plan is to move it to the LY platform eventually I think in the 2nd year and it is shorter.

I just heard of a Dodge dealer in Texas who will auctioning off his 2008 Challengers to the highest bidders over MSRP! (This "rip-off" is what I suspected would happen the first year).

The dealer claims that Dodge will be making only 4,000 Challengers in 2008, in both 6.1 (425 hp) and 6.4 (525 hp) SRT models. [sm=gears.gif]

Most dealers know less than us, however. Who can you believe??

You hope that the auction is for a charity event and not some money in some dealers pocket but the reality is probably the latter.

The thing is... the "08s" are going to be a limited run to get the flex line up to speed. They'll try to get one to every dealer, like Ford did with the first 05 Mustangs, and the options will be very limited. (I'm hearing there will be only three: stripes, HIDs, nav system, and that all the cars will be auto trans). BUT, and this is a big but: the 09s will start production just a few months later. They'll do one run of 08s, have 'em on dealer lots at the end of spring, and have 09s (with a full range of options and powertrains available) coming out in volume by the end of the summer.

Personally, I can't see paying a $50k dealer markup or whatever to get an auto-trans 08 with color etc chosen by my dealer when I can wait a few months and order a manual trans 09 the way I want it.

Look what I found on Chrysler's blog spot! Could a 'Cuda be around the corner? See:

That blog doesn't belong to Chrysler, it belongs to a guy named hemidakota who posts in various Mopar forums. Sorry, guys.
