Today's date represents the 4th delivery date that has come and gone since "my" car moved into D1 status.

I know many of us are waiting and have waited for many months. However, I wonder how many of us have been stuck in D1 for more then 4 months. Is this typical??

If not, it makes me wonder if brake problems have made their way to DCX and production has slowed or stopped to fix the problem.

Would there be other reasons why a car would remain stagnate for this length of time?

Someone tell me this is normal and they had to wait more then 5 months in D1 before their car arrived.

One more thing. It would be helpful if DCX used D1 only when the car was set to role down the assembly line and only then provide the customer with a delivery date that is rock solid! I was dumb or naive enough to believe DCX the first two times and changed vacation dates to coincide with the delivery dates. The good news is I finally went on vacation. The bad news, the car has yet to be driven into my garage.

hunter - I feel for you. The only delay commented on lately is the elusive Silver Steel color. If your car isn't SS, I'd try to get your dealer to get his dealer rep to call the plant and find out what's going on. I believe the rep can do that. Good luck.

Waited 6 months for my 300c

Ordered Thanksgiving 2005 as a 2005

Received Memorial Day 2006 as a 2006

I kept my order simple with Group I&II, no Kicker, DVD or SS. The goal was to make the build process go smooth as possible with few options so I could take delivery by the middle of summer.

Seemed like the right idea at the time.

Look at it this way, you can still add all that stuff and it won't make things any worse!

SS is still on hold I don't care what your ship date is. Thats the info I got. Just stick it out. Once you have the car it will be worth the wait. Wasen't that Jfaulkner suppose to have this right now. I got reemed out by him for saying that the colour was on hold and he had connections. I wonder if he got his.

I have a feeling this colour is going to be hot once it comes out.

SRT-8 production has not slowed down at all, and in fact, has been increased this month...

so Is the silver steel on hold, is it gone, what?

I'm trying the brampton site and posting my vin# to get any info I can. However, I made a donation and still can't get in......damn

It can sometimes take as long as 24 hours. Speckler works shift work there, so depending on his schedule is when you'll get in. I lucked out and got in within minutes.

AMGHunter....

it has been a while since we spoke...
you have a VIN right?
And what was the allocation that your dealer got?
What were they told by DCX?
And I would get the Dealer rep. involved NOW if I were you...

Hi Chris,

Your right, it has been awhile. I continue to monitor the board daily including your exploits. Keep it up.

My plan is to wait until the second week of Sept then take it to the next level. I've lay low on this issue simply because the car was ordered in April.

However, I'm frustrated because it went to D1 so quickly and now won't move. That's why I feel it would be fair to all us if DCX waited on the D1 status until the car is ready to be built the same week and please STOP giving us delivery dates that will never be met.

Alright, enough of my rants. I'm starting to sound like you a few months ago before you received your beast.

Take care.

AMGhunter, clean out your garage, your wait is finally over!! Congrats, your Bright Silver "beast" was finally built!! Born Thursday August 18th, 2005 at Hour #00. Yeah!!

Thanks Chris, you do the same!

One more thing, my car is expected to be delivered the second week of Sept. Is safe to say both No Cal and So Cal will now be properly represented!!

Steve, where in Nor Cal? I'm trying to keep track of the Nor Call gang for future events like the SRT track exp at Laguna Seca.

Home is Rocklin, suburb of Sacramento.

I'm already signed up for SRT Experience on 12/3. Any chance you might be there the same day?

 

[Trainwreck]

I don't see one on that date on the SRT experience web site. Where is it held at?

So far, on this board we have SRT8s in Rocklin, Yuba City, Aptos, Campbell. In addition I know of one in Sunnyvale and I know SRT8s where sold in Colma, Walnut Creek and San Jose but havn't seen any of 'em yet. That would make 8 known in NorCal. Anyone I missed on this board?

Looks like there are few of us driving around. However, it unlikely we will ever see ourselfs across the intersection from one another. I like that.

Regarding the SRT Experience. I received a call last month from DCX advising that the dates were changed and wanted to know if I was interested in attending on 12/2 or 12/3 at Infineon Raceway. Starts at 9:00.

Are you in??

 

[Trainwreck]

I kinda promised She Who Must Be Obeyed I'd take her to Carmel in Nov. So is the Sears point date an addition or a replacement of a date (if so, which one?)
