The factory buzz is for Feb 05 production. I think, given the backlog, this is optimistic. Dealers may not get order specs until Dec or perhaps even Jan.

My guess is that there will be few option choices (possibly nav system) and that dealers will order stock fully loaded or be forced to by DC.

My advice, if you want to be the first on your block with an SRT8, would be to avoid a custom order at all costs. Instead, select a dealer now and negotiate his profit over invoice now. Put a deposit down and have him order your colour choice as one of his stock units. Deal with the sales manager. Initially, some dealerships may only get one or two SRT8's. Some will get none for a while.

Actual delivery date - IMO - April 05.
