Anyone here plan on getting one? Or already have one on order?

Some Rumors

- They will have no VINs just Mopar part number because they don't want them to end up on the street.
- They will be pretty much complete cars, carpet, headliner, door pannels but no sound deadening or creature comforts.
- They supposedly will have solid rear axles like the Jeep Cherokees
- Lift off Hoods
- Lightweight seats
- Lightweight brakes
- 800lbs lighter than the factor Challengers
- Hearing 2 different stories on a few things like I've heard that they will be startable so you could just put on a set of headers and slicks and go racing and I've also heard they won't have fuel or exhaust systems because they know they will be immediately modified.
- They will not be carbon fiber bodies (same bodies as the factory cars)
- I've hear they are going to require or strongly encourage people to put retro paint schemes on them.
- I've heard they will cost $15k to $40k
- I've also heard that only active Stock and Super Stock racers will be able to buy them (at least at first) but that's just rumors and probably started by the Stock and SS racers.. but it has some merit since they are supporting the sport and Mopar they've earned some privileges.
- I've heard they wanted them to be in people hand by January 08 but that didn't happen, obviously.
In a previous post, Jeff Teuton shared his team will be campaigning 3 cars.
