Re: 2 6pd R/Ts Pittsburgh area dealer

I can't find ANY 6 speed R/T's at any dealers (in eastern PA or Jersey/Long Island) - they are all automatics. I assumed all the ones delievered were pre-ordered. Are you sure those two are not already ordered by someone else? Many dealers I have called said they are not ordering 6 speeds for the lot - except if a customer orders one specificially and puts down a deposit. How friggin' annoying!

Automatics are probably an easier sell - expect to see a lot of Inferno Red, White, Black and Silver cars as the typical dealer stock.

With the exception of most diehards (like us), most buyers perceive manual transmissions as being inconvenient...the past 50 years of marketing automatics as the "must have" option - and it was typically the 2nd most expensive option, besides A/C.

Found (1) J pkg m/t R/T @ Burgunder Motors - Inferno Red, 20" wheels, no sunroof...

All other searches no 27F pkg (m/t) cars.

All the rest are 28J package R/T(automatics)

Re: 2 6pd R/Ts Pittsburgh area dealer

its just hard to believe the dealer gets their orders first. I would assume he listed it as a sold order

Probably lists them under the names of his pets as customers.

Re: 2 6pd R/Ts Pittsburgh area dealer

These cars are both listed on ebay at sticker price Buy-it-Now option. I understand that a lot of folks here have been waiting for an ordered car longer than I have but I think that it is total BS that a dealer that is 80 miles away from mine has 2 cars sitting on the lot. I do not believe that these cars are selling at the rate that was expected given the size of the Pittsburgh area?. Needing to use ebay to achieve sticker price. Another dealer in my area has a black auto R/T on the lot the window sticker says it was built for Jack E Stewart. total BS Link to inferno eBay Motors: Dodge : Challenger (item 330276408420 end time Oct-14-08 06:00:00 PDT)

Re: 2 6pd R/Ts Pittsburgh area dealer

A dealer near me just got one in yesterday. Kind of pi**ed me off since mine is still in BG.

I took it out for a spin today. Wow! What a great car. The stock sound is amazing. The car feels really tight and it shifts crisply.

If anybody wants a dark red 27J w/roof and fender stripes, it's for sale.
