You're on the wrong board- Google Dodge Challenger SRT...

Greg is correct, sold olders do not determine allocation. I'm not sure who he's referring to when he says people were misinforming those here - or who may have sold more orders than they have allocated.

From day one GM has state there is no guarantee's that even the sold orders sold under the "estimated guide numbers" would be produced. Nor when they arrive.

What I DO KNOW is some dealers have given a date or "estimate" on when someone's car would be arriving. There is simply no way to know, until the order is ready to be produced. Telling a customer a car will be done by April was a guess at best.

I have a little more faith in the V8 and SS situation than what was posted by Greg. But he's a Corvette guy, that plant works a little differently :-) I like my sources, and I have faith in what was discussed. I guess my take was a little different than Greg's.

Fbodfather dissapeared once the ABL/supplier talk started and hasn't been back since except to comment on car show appearances. It's acceptable you don't know who he is.

So theoretically I might be in decent shape being first at my dealer and ordering a 2SS Black/IOM int car... I hope.....

I didn't need to be "first" in lieu of what I wanted. I wanted a Red Jewel 2SS/RS with grey leather. If that means another week or month or two months down the chain to get what I want, so be it. Guess I'll just go put glasspacks on the Impala in the meantime and close my eyes...

I was gonna call Shenanigans on some of what he was saying but thought better...I actually thought he was enjoying being "Debbie Downer" today on here...grain of salt....

[CamaroScotty]

Fbod is actively working the shows right now, in full swing. Thats his responsibility.

[redsap05]

So you guys are telling me that if you have ordered a v8 1ss, you will have to wait until mid summer/fall before you may get it? This news is

No, were saying that if you ordered a 1ss you may be waiting until this time next year before you get it.
