Any updates on 08 delivery?

Mopar488 · Oct 14, 2007

Anybody know any concrete info on 08 deliveries. Another thread mentioned something about problems that SRT has found. Anybody know anything about that?

As far as I am aware, the engine certification and other issues are resolved. I would also love an update from anyone in the know regarding when production will actually start.

Has anyone ever mentioned what the problems were...?

rcl4668 · Oct 14, 2007

Dan --

The factors previously posted on this board were supplier issues (parts being delayed) and also EPA engine certification. Some knowledeable folks have disputed the first factor.

I don't even want mine until April. Snows coming. Let them take their time and do it right.

Parts? Delayed? DODGE?

[sarcasm]
No, that simply CANT be!

LOL,Looks like you will get that wish :omg:

I cancelled mine today. I guess you can say that even though I never got confirmation of the order in the first place. I got tired of the wait for the confirmation and the other unknowns. I am currently looking for something else.

GOOOD, one less green car.

Good luck with the Z06. The production start date is the only real unknown, everything else is just hyperbole (the anxiousness and delay reminds me of the BMW M3 I ordered when the new model came out in 2001). I think the brief delay will be worth it, but good luck.

Sorry to hear that. Have fun with whatever ride you ultimately choose.

08,LOL,They cant even get a brochure out yet!! :rolaugh:

Camfab · Oct 16, 2007

Seriously, I not in the market for one ( I wish I was !). You guys with orders must be peeling off the wall paper. What's up? Another couple of months will unveil the next step up.

I understand that the cars won't be delivered until Dec. or Jan....this comes from a Viper tech who was just at the plant.......but, that's just the scuttlebut........

Could not of said it better myself. I cant imagine anyone buying that color in a high performance sports car.

viper77 · Oct 18, 2007

Sorry, but I meant that there will be one less like mine!!!!!!!
Really though, I did not like the color at first either, but seeing it in person blew me away. You have got to see the real thing. The shades of green are always changing in different light. It will be a car that will stand out as the badest car in the crowd and on a race course, especially with mods. Give it a chance. :2tu:

Hum.... one can only wonder what you are looking at now.

DodgeViper01 · Oct 18, 2007

Green is sweet!! I can not wait to see one in person. With black stripes, it is just sinister!

I thought it would be something worth waiting for. Maybe 600 hp isn't enough for some folk.

I don't know, looks pretty plain Jane to me... :omg:

And that Venom Red ain't too shabby either, but it can't hide the green...
