Man shipping dates are top on my list for the 6spd R/T's and SRT's!

Rear end questions, half shafts too.

Darn it, I was going to ask if there was going to be an SRT8 version of the Hornet, oh well.

all of the hemis have this noise with the lifters. Its just the nature of the beast. There was a bulletin out a while back that suggested changing the oil to reduce this noise. I cant remember what grade oil it was though.
