I don't think so?

BTW, did anyone catch Big Daddy vs Judy Lilly this past weekend from Bandimere Speedway in Colorado? The had a match race in these cars....Big Daddy "drove aroound" Judy at the end...LOL.

The cars ran low to mid 11's if I remember right?

Re: Dodge Challenger Drag Package
 

When you say "had a match race in these cars" do you mean the Dodge Challenger? Cool https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif !

Judy Lily's ex built the Max Wedge engine in my S/S Plymouth (aka Dennis Mauer). https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

They were "Barracudas" in 68 but everybody called them Cudas. In 69 Plymouth had an official 'Cuda option late in the year on the A-body model in both fastback and notchback. In 70 the 'Cuda became a separate model.

Cars won't be street legal, and are *supposed* to go to racers...I'll believe that part when I see it, but it sounds good! I just see too many collectors snatching them up and parking them, forcing the racers to have to buy the more expensive DOT model to tear apart...I've already seen an early delivery street Challenger with a $30k dealer markup! The markup was almost as much as the MSRP!!

Re: Dodge Challenger Drag Package
 

I want one !!

Maybe I can write it off as a business expense.......... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: Dodge Challenger Drag Package
 

I saw a black Challenger on the road this weekend going west on the NYS Thruway. It is a mean looking car. Had to do a double take to realize what it was, but at first glance on the highway, I thought it was a '70.

Re: Dodge Challenger Drag Package
 

Our local Dodge dealer called me to let me know that they have an Orange SRT available for me now for only 15k over sticker, I don't think so. By the time they get the next production run to market, the value will drop just like the mustangs did. I'll wait.

Re: Dodge Challenger Drag Package
 

One of our local dealers is selling them at sticker and they are leaving as fast as they are delivered.

Another dealer about 20 miles away wants a ton over sticker and they have 4 SRTs sitting in their showroom as of this afternoon. People just walk in and laugh when the salesman shows them the markup. That dealer is also next door to two other large dealerships that just went out of business in the past 3 months. Ya think he'd get the hint? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

Ya gotta love the guys who are trying to pull the "market adjustment" deal! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif

Re: Dodge Challenger Drag Package
 

Guess what? The 2008 version of "market adjustment" is when people stop buying your cars and taking your crap and you go out of business. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smirk.gif

Re: Dodge Challenger Drag Package
 

Looked at today a Orange SRT The dealer wants 10.000.
over the sticker price the car sticker price was 41.900.00
and he wants 51.900.00 plus tax and tags Told him the car will be there next October I really like it but it just a bit over what I can aford http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...HPIM4055-1.jpg

Re: Dodge Challenger Drag Package
 

Do a "completed items" search on ebay of the 100+ Challengers SRTs that have gone through and print out the results and bring them to your dealer just to rub his nose in it. None of them are selling. A couple have actually sold under sticker at 41K - 43K.

I would wait a few months til the 6 speeds come out and get a regular R/T model with the 6-speed, 380-horse engine. Looks just like the SRT but without the hokey fake carbon fiber hood stripe.

Waiting will also get you the limited slip differential with available option of a 3.92 gear. Also if you opt to wait for the 09 and the R/T with the 5.7 380hp HEMI as I am also, you will get the lifetime powertrain warranty. It is not available on the 6.1 425 hemi in the limited production run.

Re: Dodge Challenger Drag Package
 

Dealer here in Missouri has two orange cars and wants 10,000 over sticker for both also.

Re: Dodge Challenger Drag Package
 

Oh, and waiting for the 09 R/Ts gets you no gas guzzler tax, also. That's about $2500 saved.

Re: Dodge Challenger Drag Package
 

Went to the Jackson Outlets show this past Friday and saw four new Challengers there; three orange and one black. Nice cars but didn't really blow me away; they are much bigger and bulkier than I would have expected. Can anyone tell me why the new cars have started to be so "slab sided"? The Challenger is this way and the new Camaro has the slab sided look.

Re: Dodge Challenger Drag Package
 

Dave - concur on "slab-sided" https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/shocked.gif . They need some stripes (i.e. 70's R/T stripes would be nice on the Chally) to break up the voluminous real estate on the sides of those cars.

Re: Dodge Challenger Drag Package
 

Just saw a brand new orange Challenger SRTS today with a Hemi. It was at a local Harley Shop I stopped at to get some bike parts.. A Dodge salesman brought it up to the Harley dealer to show his buddy who works there. I guess they just arrived at his dealership. I was fortunate enough to look over the car. The salesman told me the same thing about the price of those things, 41K sticker price but dealer selling them well over sticker..

The car was a bad machine!! I was surprised how quiet it was at idle. You almost couldn't hear it running..
