Although ordering is opening up early for the 2008 model year please be aware that the bulk of first month's allocation will not be shipped until the September time frame and that production will be on a very limited basis - so get your orders in NOW! Allocation of those orders will be based on previous Dodge, Dodge SRT car, and Viper sales.[/align]

 

Can't wait for the ACR SRT!

 

Hope they do not rake you over the coals on price. Jumping on a "new" car so early typically they will not budge from sticker, or worse, put a markup on it.

Did you get the blue? The Orange later in the year will be awesome.
