The SRT 8 badge will be replaced by a 500 badge on the grill. This dealer will be selling for the sticker price.Also he suggested that the engine for Canada will be stronger than the 425 horse 6.1, but did not say what it would be. Probably 6.6 !!Delivery will be in July. Anyone have anything more ??
Maybe I am wrong, I hope I am wrong cause that would be cool.
BUT I think your dealer is blowing smoke.
the story all along has been orange and black, same SRT8 badging and same power.
I've worked in car sales before and this sounds like a common ploy here. My boss used to get a bunch of identical plain jane cars in then change the badging (add badging where there wasn't any) and tell everyone that it was a special edition and thats why its costs more. Sadly most people fell for that. Glady it was that kind of crap that made me get out of the business.
