Any info out on the new SRT8? I'm buying soon...either an R/T or SRT8. I'd love to hear the new goodies for 07. Colors? Pics? Anything!

I highly doubt that the MDS system will be available in the SRT-8s for '07. The 6.1L utilizes a "bumpier" cam profile- shutting off half the cylinders would lead to an unnacceptable amount of engine quiver. As well, replacing the 6.1L's high performance valve gear with the more fragile setup on the MDS system would countermand the high-performance nature of the SRT's. In essence, adapting the SRT-8s to utilize MDS would be a downgrade to the car instead of an upgrade (according to the target market).

I have heard that the '07 SRT-8s will be getting vented rotors to help counteract the squeaky brake issues.
