When is the next SRT Engineers Chat Session?

When is the next SRT Engineers Chat Session?
The last one was Wednesday, December 19.
Hope they didn't decide to leave because of the negative comments about the Caliber SRT-4.
There is currently plenty of interest about the new Challenger as well as other SRT vehicles.
Anyone?

I want to get in on the next one and get some insight to the Demon debacle. I got to talk with some [Dodge] people at the Philly show and they're just as dissapointed as we are in the FWD deal.

LOL, that's as good a reason as any why they may not want to do it.
But I sure hope that is not the case.
Actually, it can't be since they are not allowed to taulk about future products.

I was interested in the chats, until they turned into "we do not recommend altering factory settings" and "we cannot discuss X because of Y". The first few were great, with a ton of information, but the last few have withered and died; nothing more than "status on brake recall", "shifting issues", and "can I do X to my Y?".

"Sorry, we cannot talk about future products." See what I did there? I pretended. It made me all fuzzy. What's sad, is that it's the truth.

I'll be interested when they have products I'm interested in again. Gas guzzling, bloated SRT8s and "still not good enough" 4s aren't on my list of "must haves". Sadly, some of us have families and do not make enough mad coin to flip over new vehicles every 3 years (especially in multi-vehicle families), nor the patience to wait 5 years to finally find out the vehicle we're been waiting for got axed.

Last months session (Jan 16th) was held on the Viper forums. I would guess this months session would be the 13th or 20th, possibly on one of the Challenger forums.

Of course they cannot discuss future product, why would anyone expect different? The sessions have been running for over two years now and have provided a ton of invaluable information. SRT owners and enthusiasts are very fortunate to have these sessions and I hope they continue for a long time.

The engineers are dedicated performance enthusiasts and provide these sessions on their own time, and while there are obvious corporate boundaries covering what they can and cannot discuss, there is plenty of information that they can talk about. Because of the input from the sessions many issues have been addressed resolved.

WHAT other manufacturer, I ask, provides such an incredible opportunity to communicate with the very people who design and engineer their vehicles? Kudos to the entire SRT division and team members for not only bringing out some of the best performance vehicles on the planet, but for also taking the time to communicate and listen to the owners.
