Sup guys, I've been lurking on these boards for some time.
Been riding my '07 overland for almost 3 years and the lease is up in July. Got a great lease maturity deal in the mail and a sick rebate, so I went into the stealership today and worked out a deal.

I'll have my 2010 brand new JGCSRT8 by next Monday!!

I am so pumped. I love my overland but any time i see the srt8 on the road I straight up get the chills. This is my dream car.

As far as mods, I think I'm gonna match the front windows, throw my V1 in and MAYBE debadge it. We'll see.

Anyway, I just wanted to say whats up! I'll update this thread with pics when I take delivery. WOOT!

Is it loaded? What is the MSRP? That sounds dirt cheap?

I didn't get group 2, everything I wanted came in group 1. MSRP was just under 48. But It's got all the regular works.

And yeah I know, got a sick deal.

obviously got the nav/audio package too.
the options I didn't get are:
Automatic Headlamp Leveling System
Heated Second Row Seats
High Intensity Discharge Headlamps

If you can afford it get the option 2 package. It is well worth it and you won't regret it. The factory HID's cannot be duplicated after the fact due to the auto leveling technology.

Let me see what they find for me, then maybe I'll opt for it. These things apparently aren't easy to find.

What do u guys think about the 2011? I'm NOT a fan

I will be a fan of the 6.4 500hp powerplant but I don't think I will like the price :(

Could you explain $34,000 for a $48,000 GCSRT8. Thats $14,000 off of MSRP. BTW get SRTII rather than Aftermarket HIDs, plus the Ladies, that ride in the back, like to warm their Tushes with the Heated Seats you won't be sorry.

The only explanation is that I got a rebate in the mail and was also able to turn in my '07 Overland early

I don't think I'm doing the SRT II package. The SRT I has everything my overland has and more. I'm very happy with it

I had an 07 HEMI Limited and the SRT8 is a great step up! Welcome from East Meadow. Nice to have another 'new yawker' around. Meets this summer are going to be busy!

Dude, it feels like time is going in slow motion.

I must admit I got a little nostalgic today though. I took off my windshield tint, put the badges back on, reinstalled my stock intake and unhardwired my V1 on my Overland. Tomorrow the tint is coming off the tails. Car lost all of its character, what a shame.
