The only info I have available so far, is as follows: Options/Packages: SRT Group I - Pretty much the same as 07 SRT Group II - HID headlamps, heated second row seats, now includes the rear seat video system, automatic leveling lights. Navigation is now Chryslers MyGiG system, 20 gig hardrive, sirius radio, and touch screen nav, all in one. Colors so far will remain, Red Rock, Steel blue, Black, and Silver. No pricing available as of yet. Pretty sure they can be ordered but no word on when you'll actually see them.

Replying to: 06blksrt8 (Jun 21, 2007 5:23 am) I'm sure they'll raise price on these option packages, especially opt 2 as it includes the foresaid video system and new HID lights. Were looking at 47-48 large for fully loaded ones now for sure. |

Replying to: jeepster9 (Feb 03, 2006 11:51 pm) Have you marketed the JGC SRT8 computer mods that improves the horsepower to 500? I'm sure the community is highly interested in these modifications.

This is based on the truck that my dealership has on order. 08 Silver Base - $40,525 Roof - $ 800 Option Group II - $2075 Option Group I - $1995 Nav/Camera - $1090 Dest/Shipping $695 _____________________Total $47,180 Not a bad markup considering the new features that you're getting. |
|
| WKJeeps.com updated their pages to list detailed pricing info on the 2008 SRT8 model. It's about time Jeep added the 11-speaker Kicker audio option, all of the other SRT8 models have had it since day 1. A lot of nice new features added to an already great vehicle! | |

Replying to: butta_fab (Apr 11, 2007 11:07 pm) My dealer has no idea About the your brakes Supposedly there is an upgrade to slotted rotors that helps break dust and the noise from the front rotors |

Slotted rotors may help with reducing dust. But, the uneven wear (concentric groves in rotors) is likely caused by the pads. I believe that it is essential that all the lubricant (wax) be driven out of the pads prior to installing on the car! The alternative is to do it yourself on new pads, i.e., bed-in the brakes (multiple near stops from about 70 mi/h to get the pads hot). Be even there, the process is probably not 100% efficient. Best is to heat the new pads in a vacuum! Does anyone know if Jeep is doing anything about this? Since my SRT8 is still under 12,000 miles, I can probably get the whole brake system replaced under the warranty. But, unless something is changed, the problem will return. Jacques |

Jeep STR8 2007 recommended is 33 psig. However, I think for better all around performance it should be higher. Since I think the front end is heavier than the rear, I put in 40 psig in front and 38 psig rear. These are with the tires cold, i.e., 35 F. I checked the standing "bulge" in each tire for comparison. Car seems to handle fine, albeit a little stiffer ride than that at 33 psig. Also, I get somewhat better gas mileage (average 13 mpg). Does anyone have a better suggestion? By the way, the car's digital tire pressure readout is right on! A really useful feature, especially with runflats. Jacques |
