SRT-8 Scheduling order

[TheSRTSaint]

I got this a couple of days ago from the Brampton plant scheduler.

"We are ramping up for the charger first then the police units then SRT8 so I'm guessing end of march."

He wrote me earlier stating the SRT-8 got pushed back so they could run the charger first on 50cents publicity.

THAT's COMPLETE BS!

Did the plant scheduler say that the srt 8 was going to be an 06 now instead of an 05? If we are waiting it might as well be for something.

Figures ....

Couldn't he have just wanted an SRT-8 Instead? Maybe we would have gotten ours sooner ....

I wonder how long of a delay we are talking about ....2 weeks? Or 2 Months before production starts ...

I just called DC and I received my vin number and the car is in "D" status. Everything looks good. It will also be an 05, even though I would rather have an 06.

Any idea as to when you'll get it?

DC could not tell me when until the car went into D1 status, which may be in about three weeks. I will be staying in touch with DC to check progress. I would think late march, early april isnt out of the question. We will see.

You ordered your srt 8 before I did, what status is your car in?

Well - an update from my dealer, for whatever it's worth. Order placed 1/10, still in BX status. I was told today that as of 1/31, all '05 orders are being "re-booked" as '06's - there will be no 2005 SRT-8's. The '06's will have a few minor modifications, including an upgrade to the brakes. The production run will start up late Feb.-early March, and cars should begin showing up for sold orders in April, and that sold orders will ship before any stock orders. He did re-iterate that this info was based on what Chrysler is telling the dealerships. The wait continues...
