Regular window sticker:

I see this car was built for 'Darrel Lopez'...............

The guy that posted the pictures said the deal with the person that ordered it fell through, and the dealership called him to come take a look at it...?

The 2008/2009 SRT 8 Hemi Challengers and the "package" race cars, like Judy Lilly and Don Garlirs ran, are two totally seperate vehicles. The run showed the race-only version, which is similar to the '68 Hemi Cudas and Darts. I haven't seen any "official" specs or pricing on them.

There is a thread on Moparts.com...supposedly low to mid 30's will be the price.

Yeah, we got that, but...are dealers gonna get greedy (hard to believe, huh?! LOL!!) on the race trim Challys also and hit 'em with a dealer markup? I hope for you ChryCo folks they don't, but my gut thinks otherwise...

Chris, Yes, I just saw the moparts info. Thanks.

As for dealers, I get the impression that they will not be involved with the sale of the race car packages. They are only suppose to go to racers who will actually race and promote the product/brand. Just speculation at this point, but dealers would not have much control if a street enthusiast or car collector would want one. But dealers would make a good drop-off point unless one has to go to Detroit, or wherever, to pick them up. I believe bodies-in-white also had special proceedures and contacts.

Jay Leno will have one before you know it. Some of them will be like the Cobra R's and end up in collectors/enthusiasts hands, no doubt. I hope though that is a very few that do.

I don't think they are going thru dealers. I think some service will handle them. About 35K depending????.
Not street legal. Only for racing. The sticker on this thread is for one of the 2008 SRT8 cars which we sell for window sticker. Lots of brokering going on. Several motor/trans pkges. Look for more info now that the unveiling has taken place. Gonna be fun. Lots of interesting specs.

Anyone else notice the "Chrysler Motors L.L.C." on the sticker?

Is everything Chrysler Motors L.L.C. now, or is this a spinoff corporation to insulate the rest of the corporation from this activity, as well as the non-safety rated disclaimer, and the obvious C.A.F.E. standards hit these cars would cause?
