New Jeep SRT8...Come on Already!

[LS1owner]

Since I sold the Camaro last weekend I'm half way to a Jeep dealer to have them find me a low mile SRT8 Jeep because I'm getting tired of waiting and listening to rumors about a NEW SRT8...I'm also thinking I can find a low mile 2009-2010 certified for under 40k, and the new SRT8 will likely be marked up over 50k for a while with no incentives when it comes out...and paying 5% interest on a car that expensive is not an option. Should I just go out and have a dealer find me a used one? they have this thing called a "Car finder" where you tell them what you want and they try to find it for you...much like locating a new car it seems...

Hold out and wait for the new one with the 8 speed auto. It might be quicker then the Challenger. Boy am I glad I Google'd "2011 GT500" when I was about to buy a 2010 last year and discovered all the new improvements so I just sat on my down payment for 4 more months. Better things come to those who wait and I'm sure you can find one a new one at msrp if you check the forums like I did.

Good luck

That article was written in April, and with the 6.4L being rated at 470 in the SRT8 challenger, the jeep will likely get a very similar rating. With that said, it will be an animal with that motor. I hope they offer a 2wd version that can tow something this time, though.

that is usually an after thought and a big *DOH!* moment. you are lucky : )

I'd be kicking my own ass if I was uninformed and bought a last year model only to miss out on some vast improvements from a model released in a couple more months.
