Are they producing the 2008 Challenger SRT's by the VIN# or VON#?

Was it ever measured if there were any mpg increases resulting from a Cold Air Intake?

Why would the manual have a higher top speed if it has a lower gear ratio than the autostick? Also, does the manual have the same $2,100 gas guzzler tax?

Thanks for responding to all of my questions. I have read your posts on all of the other SRT Chat sessions and they have been very informative. You guys are the greatest! Keep producing this SRT line as long as Dodge will let you.

i know you guys dont comment on future products. So im not asking for an answer.

Can you show us a video or pictures of the possible upcomming staged kits for the caliber.

Sorry, we don't do fuel economy tests on Cold Air Intakes.

Is the new re-formulated Mobil 1 0W40 oil still ok to use on my 2006 SRT8?

No you can't. Just the '08 Magnum. It was part of the Magnum upgrade for '08. HIDs are expensive and not having them helps the Charger SRT8 base price. The Charger has not had an exterior upgrade, so we haven't had the opportunity to put them on, either. Check you insurance rates before you get too excited about HIDs.
