 Talked to my sales manager today and he said he had some bad news. He hit the regional sales rep up yesterday about my car. It's still in the BX status. The area rep said it looked like my car wouldn't get made before July. That's the end of the 2008 run. I'm still going to try and make some contacts on up the ladder. Seems like that if my order was in the first 4300 and they are making 6400, I should have a shot. It won't be the end of the world but I was excited. Mine would have actually been a driver. If this deal falls through, I'll probably get a 2009 R/T. It's what the wife wanted in the first place. She was really wanting a red car. Still, I'm not going to give up on that 425 hp without trying as hard as I can. What really is hard to take, is that my dealer wasn't charging me a penny over MSRP. His boss, the dealership owner, will set his in the storage building with his two Vipers and Ford GT40. The manager said he would really like to see one on the streets in our area.

I had my Rumble Bee serviced today and spent quite a bit of time talking with the Business Manager at the dealer I go to.  He has a 2008 Challenger order in, as well, and was saying he hoped it wouldn't get built so that he would be price-protected for an '09.  Rumor has it that the '09 SRT Challenger will be a larger-displacement, 392 cubic inch HEMI with 500HP and a 6-speed manual to compete with the new Camaro and hi-horsepower Mustang offerings.  It's all speculation at this point, but that is what they have been hearing.  He also mentioned there is a possibility that they will build as many as 9,000 2008 models.  He said 2008s are supposed to begin shipping in April, but he thought it may get pushed out.  If so, it will be hard to imagine them getting the numbers built before it's time to start production on the '09s.

A buddy says this week's Auto Week magazine has a few photos of the production car, including some interior shots.  My issue hasn't arrived yet, but here's are a few photos off their website:

Going to the car show in Chicago on Friday. I will have the digital camera with me.

From what I understand, all of the 08's that will be built are spoken for, unless you want to pay 10 - 15k over sticker. Realisticly, I'd say anyone else who wants one will have to wait on an 09, unless you have a bunch of extra money you want to spend.
