Re: 08 Challenger Race
 

I was there. There was NOTHING on the score boards at all, they announced that if you want to know what they ran, you had to go buy one. Nice. Oh, and Judy DEFINATELY shut it off. They both kind of pedaled at the end, but Judy by much more. I was standing just past the 1000' mark on the hill.

I think maybe Garlits was supposed to "win"? No clue. But it was strange.

They sure sounded good on the burn outs. Nice cars really.

I hope for you racers' sakes that the dealers don't hurt you too awful bad with their markups...check out the treatment this *normal* Challenger got...nothing like a $30k right off the bat! :p

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

Re: 08 Challenger Race
 

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...?

Re: 08 Challenger Race
 

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.

Re: 08 Challenger Race
 

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

Re: 08 Challenger Race
 

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...

Re: 08 Challenger Race
 

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.

Re: 08 Challenger Race
 

Judy was .08 quicker at the 1000 so she would have ran a 11.16 or faster. corrected to sub 10.50.

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.
