" Here is the latest info... 5500 produced in 2008, they will be
SRT8's only w the 6.1L hemi and AutoStick Transmission.
2009 they will have a 3.5L V6, 5.7L Hemi, and 6.1L Hemi w/ Optional
6-Speed Manual. Looks like it will be very close to the concept.
Different wheels and a few small changes but overall it is pretty
close."
