SRT Specialists

Just curious if any one knows of a garage that specilizes in SRT's. I'm ordering my 15 GC SRT in August and should get it by October-ish. It would just be nice to know that before I do it, in case I want to go crazy with it later.

There's so few over here I doubt you'll find anyone unfortunately.

There are, however, plenty of people who will be able to do all sorts to it.

[cwiklab]

Anyone you'd recommend, Roo? And the closer to Cambridgeshire the better.

You could try Mike at ModUrStang.

Very, very knowledgable about all sorts of mods, and not just on Mustangs.

wonder what the srt8 will called in the future, since now they are dropping SRT name

[cwiklab]

Um, I think you might be mistaken. They last I heard is they're dropping the number, so SRT8 becomes SRT. Maybe I'm wrong, but I can see how that could be confused with what you're saying.

The SRT brand is merging (back)into dodge. The may keep the SRT name on the vehicles though so the SRT Viper SRT10 goes back to the Dodge Viper SRT with or without the 10.

Chrysler Group Announces Leadership Changes said:

May 6, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - In conjunction with the outlined plans for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), Chrysler Group LLC today announced that the SRT family of vehicles will be consolidated under the Dodge brand. Tim Kuniskis will lead this effort as he continues his role as President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Dodge Brand and head of the Company’s Fleet Operations. Ralph Gilles continues as the Senior Vice President of Product Design and President and CEO of Motorsports. The move is effective immediately.

It's all a bit misleading.

SRT is now back as part of Dodge, as opposed to being a standalone brand name.

The biggest effect is that the SRT Viper now becomes, again, a Dodge Viper.

Yeah, I did more reading on this after I saw your comment on the cherokeesrt8.com. It does look like all non-Dodge SRT variants will be dropped by 2017 and that includes the best selling one, the Grand Cherokee; however, the plan of Fiat/Chrysler seems to be replacing it with an SRT Journey. LOL!
