    I haven't heard. I don't know if the website has any info either. Maybe they will update it.

    Do they typically let you drive SRT cars, especially in their first year of production?

    Yes there is usually a place where you can test drive some of the new cars.   :grinyes:

    I haven't talked to the people at Chrysler with regard to what cars they will be bringing for the Test Drives just yet.  I honestly doubt they will have one available but that's just my opinion.  IF, and I say IF, they were to bring one for people to drive, can you imagine how looooooooooooong that line would be???  You'd think people were camping out for Zeppelin tickets  :ylsuper:

    Yeah I gotta agree with Ed - it'd be a disaster trying to have a Challenger test drive.  I really wish they WOULD, but it probably wouldn't be wise.

    They have had SRT's in the past - they had the Crossfire SRT6 out there two years ago.  It was cool, but you couldn't unwind it at all - if you even went above 20 miles an hour or so they'd ban you from any more test drives.

    Last year I didn't even bother with the test drives.  They need to follow Hummer and have some sweet offroad courses set up for the Jeeps, and maybe an 1/8th mile strip for the SRT's.  I mean, afterall, they're trying to attract sales, aren't they?  Ed - see what you can do.  :)  lol!

    Know why??  'Cause no one would go to the show itself!  The freakin' line for that would run clear to the Maryland border!

    Don't gimme wrong - I'd be right there in it!

    That, and once MEK took the wheel, they'd have to shut the whole thing down to clean up all the wreckage.  :)  lol!

    I remember back in '05 when some guys took the Crossfire for a little "spirited" drive down the hill.  Let's just say it was a good thing I was in the PT Cruiser convertible and not the Crossfire. :misbehaving:  I could only imagine how many people would try putting the new Challenger through its paces if they kept the same road course as before.
