I searched and read some threads....but is there somewhere that details the exact differences all in one post? flipping between posts gets confusing.

There is a lot of threads about this, and a lot of small differences.
Are you looking for a certain year, or have one?

+1 !!! You will get the nicer, all black interior. With the different headlights, make sure to get HID's. :D Those are my favorite!

Now the 09, you get the Performance Options to measure your 1/4 mile, 1/8 mile, 0-60 time, braking time, and more.

Don't forget the red calipers and Dura-Brite wheels. ;)

Brilliant black is an AMAZING color to me.I saw a Charger in May and a Challenger in June (at shows)and thought it was a custom paint job.I was even bragging about them to friends on how sweet that color was.Do you know when the Brilliant black was introduced to each SRT vehicle?

This is going to be my daily/winter car. I want a blk/blk but dont want to pay alot more just to get the 08. I can live with the lighter interior. As far as options im looking for nav, remote start, heated seats with memory, heated mirrors, 6disc changer. I would like to have power pedals and telescoping wheel and memory seats cause the wife is 5'1 And I hate having to adjust everything when I get in the car. The newer steering wheels, red calipers, wheels, kicker system, perf display , rear dvd and hids dont mean anything to me and the newer front bumper doesnt look that different. From what ive found I can get a 06,07 for 10k cheaper that an 08. $30k is my limit.

You could find a higher mileage 2008 for around that much. But a 2006 or 2007 would be much more realistic in that price range.

I am a little wary of higher milage since I plan on keeping it for a long time or untill I get bored with it lol. I have a 97 JGC now with 170k on the clock. I dont drive everyday usually and have a work truck to take back and forth to work. I would like to get a srt with under 30k mi and under $30k. are there any common issue I should look out for when looking for a srt?

I found mine through Rob (smokinsrtboi on srtforums). He works at a dealer in WI and his job is to go to auto auctions. He found 2 in the color I wanted that were 5 of 5 condition within 2 weeks of me telling him what i wanted. I got a 06, memory seats, VES, Nav, and others, 34,5xx miles for 27K. It was the higher mileage of the 2 but easier for me to get home (MN). If you want his contact info PM me or PM him on the national srt site. Great guy, he also sells alot of srt4 parts. and srt4's,

Oh and the most common issue (all years) is the gas pedal is defective. Everytime you get behind the wheel it ends up on the floor. No fix available yet.
