Re: Canada - 2008 MSRP about 50,000

money2burn, and ResumeSpeed;
Thanks for those reports !!
We have waited a long time for this info. to come to Canada.
It's going to be the SRT8 500, with 500 badges , as I mentioned a while back.
The seats will be bolstered, as most of us were looking for, and I know at least " SIX PACK " was holding out for. (Still going to wait ?) See below quote.
"Interior 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 500 highlights include race-inspired leather seats with added bolstering "
Everything else , looks like what we expected, but I'm not familiar with the phrase below.....
"Sure grip differential," (I Think , heh, heh, !!)
Can anyone tell me exactly what that means? Is it the same as a limited slip?
Somewhat dissapointed in the pricing, considering the current close proximity of the Canadian and American dollars. Today the USD is worth $1.02 Can, but it's been going back and forth. But even that 2 cent difference on $40,000. is only $800., so I wonder why $6,000. in the difference. Can bolstered seats, and a different badge be worth that ?
Also, I wonder about a $1300 delivery charge in the same country it's made in, when I'm not hearing of that charge in the U.S. ( Maybe it's still hidden in the U.S.)
I thought Gas Guzzler of $2200 was high for the States, and didn't even know Canada had one, so another $3000 there was a surprise.
All in all though, not completely out of line, and I will be getting mine at sticker, so it's welcome news. At least now, I know what I'm getting, and what it costs.
Thanks guys !!
