RE: Who has a 2008 Challenger on order?
Got a email from my salesman,he says my challenger was loaded on a truck and headed home(ohio) as of yesterday.He hopes to see it here by Friday,I sure hope I leave for Hawaii on Saturday for a week (party with my daughter who just got stationed there and is leaving for Iraq in a couple months for the third time) Anyway sure wouldn't hurt my dealers feelings if I left it in his showroom for a week..

My initial e-mail went something like this.
US Customer Service - Dodge Brand Site
Brief Description:
2008 Challenger status
Comments:
I am writing to voice my concerns on how long it is taking for me to
receive my 2008 Dodge Challenger. I have been constantly checking the status
online and through the dealer. I have been in Quality Control since June 10. I
have not been able to get a satisfactory explanation from anyone on
what is holding up my car. I have seen several cars that supposedly have later
order dates than mine being delivered. As I have stated before, I have
purchased 3 vehicles from my Chrysler dealer in the last 18 months. An
07 300C, 07 Jeep Wrangler, and 08 Town and Country. I am on the verge of
canceling my order. If I do, Chrysler will lose my business fro good.
The impression I am getting is that since this is such a popular car, the
company doesn't care about those of us who have ordered the car since
you will probably not have any trouble moving them. All I ask is for a
decent explanation on why mine is still held up in Quality and maybe a
estimated time when it may move to shipping.

Cant you just hit the switch on the the dash the says ESP OFF and turn it off?

Hey GPMAN,
Hows it going, when is you Chally due in? Hope soon.
The ban on traction control means just that, no traction control. Not allowing a disabled control on a vehicle.
I still feel that those who want to smoke their tires can do so without any mods to the car. I have seen many posts by private owners showing as much. Also, many other features, antilock brakes for example, help the driver.
These cars are being purchased to show off, have fun and or bring back memories. I doubt most, if not all, will never be used as a competitive racer. I for one am very impressed with the engineering in my new Challenger and dont plan to do much other than a CAI and possibly exhaust mod. Additionally, why risk voiding your warranty over something that really does not matter? Brake torque verses no brake torque?? Well, whatever floats your boat I guess.
Good luck and may we all be posting pictures of our cars soon,
Dave

DiamDave,
The reason people want to disable these (helpfull) features is that they take away from driver skill. Most racing organiztions ban traction control because it makes those with less talent more competitive. Real race drivers steer with their hands and their feet. A brake tourque burnout is really not a burnout. A burnout without ESP and traction control means hold on baby, we're goin for a ride.

I have read a lot of posts wanting to disable the ESP. Do you have stock in Goodyear Tire Co? Even if you were to drag race the car, and I am sure most wont, you would want traction, right? I have raced most of my life and I can tell you a real racer would not want to sit in a cloud of smoke. They want to get from point A to point B faster than the other guy.
If you have to look cool, just put the car in manual first gear and shove the pedal to the floor. Oh yeah, and make sure your local tire store has your size in stock.
