Where are you located exactly?

Sacramento Calif.

So far, Ive seen only a limited amount being sold in my area. I've been up near San Diego too... Still no 2013s and only maybe 3 lots will have 1 in stock and rest will have 2014s, that's nice but, I got bbudgets lol. As stated, Charger R/Ts up the ying yang dude... Sooooo many! Where are the SHOs ? :(

Does anyone know why SHOs are in such a limited quantity per year ?

Even more confusing, some people who got a tune have a grade assist mode that lights up when the car is shifted into M or S depending on year...but some don't have it...mine doesn't do it, yet cars built only 10 days after mine do.....And some cars have it without being tuned....so even more head scratching stuff, since it doesn't seem to have anything to do with whether its a PP or non-PP equipped car.

And to clarify, when I said "Sport mode", that's the same thing Mark is referring to as grade assist, which I honestly think is a better description.  Some (many) call it Sport mode, so I just call it that too. Grade assist is a more accurate description.  End result however is that 6th gear is locked out, shift points are higher, etc....  So...car feels a little snappier (all perception IMO) , but my 0-60 numbers show no real difference.

DRI:  you can shut off Advance Trac, I cannot fully defeat. I have Sport/Hill assist, do you have that? Shift car into M mode, if you see a car on a slant/hill icon on your DIC, you have it.  If no little car on a slant icon, you don't.

i put the car in M mode and did not see any icon at all...
