Question What are the differences between 2008 SRT / 2009 SRT?

So I've basically put myself into a conundrum by investigating around a bit too much. I originally planned to get 2009 Challenger SRT in Hemi Orange. Upon learning Hemi Orange isn't available for the 2009 SRT; only the 2009 R/T, I didn't know what to do. Red is pretty cool - but it's no Hemi Orange, black *would* be awesome if it weren't effectively black stripes on black, and I currently drive a silver car so I want a different color.

I decided to look around for 2009 MY ordering information and stumbled upon an available 2008 SRT in Hemi Orange. If I were to pursue it I would be throwing 3-4 months of my lease payments on my current car down the hole while it sat in the driveway in addition to the Chally's payments (which is why I was planning on '09 releasing a few months later), but the main issue is I'm wondering what (if anything) I would be missing out from with the 2009 MY SRT in terms of features.

Regardless I would be getting an Automatic - so no loss on the lack of Manual tranny. Looks like the same engine. But are there any little small changes/features that will be lacking on the '08 which are being added to the '09? Even things as little as the keyless go and all that. Or on the flip side, little features (like the badge/#) I would get from the '08? Trying to find this information myself, but I would be kicking myself if I missed a cool gadget I would've wanted as opposed to color.

Any input would be appreciated.

The '09's won't have anymore the Carbon Stripes - they'll be replaced with black
asides that remains to be seen on Dodge.com in the options list now available for SRT,R/T ,S/E for '09 . Used to have the '08 listed ... you could compare it to the 2008 here (you need to scroll down to bottom half +) LC: 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 (and 2009 Challenger R/T and SE)
