I was just reviewing my "Dealer Order Status" report. I have 4 challengers ordered. The first one was ordered 12/4/07 and is a "sold order" with Scooterhairs name on it, it is in "C" status. The other 3 were entered as sold units (that aren't really sold) with dealership employees names on them, they are in "BX" status.
   BX is the first place an order goes. It means--- good order availible for scheduling. C status is the next section in the scheduling process, which means --- tenative schedule. What we will be looking for next is D status --- which is firm schedule: serial number assigned, then D1 --- gateline: plant has sequenced the unit for production, estimated ship date asssigned. From there we go into build status, E for framing, F for paint, and G for trim. After that we are looking for KZ status ---released by plant and invoiced, from there it shouldn't be more than about two weeks in shipping before it arrives here at the dealership. I'm only 99% sure that I am going to get this first car, I say 99% because I've been with Chrysler (in 2 dealerships) for 22 years and have seen them do some s&*tty stuff to some small dealers. I would say that I will not get the other 3 cars on this first 2008.5 model run.
   Scooter is getting real anxious for his car. He asks me every day, "when is my car going to be here". I always tell him the same thing----"I think they shipped yesterday, should be here tomorrow or the next day".
   One thing that I have seen in the past is, just because you have "BX" on your order, doesn't necessarily mean you are going to get the car, it just means they (Chrysler) has recieved the order. You are only going to get what you are allocated. It is my opinion that dealers are not going to get more than one each of this first run of cars.

 Some non-SRT8's are now being spotted. I bet those outside Roush don't stay stock for long. The torque numbers for the new 5.7 to the 6.1 are real close, only reportedly 13 apart..

Which begs the question; you going to drive it and have fun with it or turn ASAP while the nut jobs are still swimming and excited?

[Scooterhair]

Well lets see,



 I am a nut job,

 


                so










 I'm gunna drive it with gentle enthusiasm.

Wonder how long the tires will last with that approach.


  Wanna ride?

[Scooterhair]

Plus I've already had an offer for 15k over what I paid,


 So I guess that would put me in the nut job sack.

Hell no.  That's no fun.  I wanna drive it.

[Scooterhair]

  I wanna drive,

          I wanna drive,

                  I wanna drive.

I don't just want to drive it.  I want to pretend I'm still on the dirt tracks I used to play on, pick it up at the dealership, buzz up to CC, flog it all the way across, barrel back through Nixa to 14, beat on it again across 14 and take it back to the dealership.  Rinse and repeat.

[altugo]

I want one bad. I wonder what they will ask over here.With the current taxes around i estimate around 100k.Gotta get rid of the goldwing asap than finance the rest lol.

Paid over for my SRT10 and got to drive it almost one year before they dropped to MSRP and below everywhere.

I see the local Ford guy has 5 GT500's in stock.  I imagine those have seen the high dollor day.  Now it's the KR's that will be hot.

I say drive the pizz out of it and have a good time.  My 2004 SRT10 is still a blast and I still get  all the time when I have it out.
