Sexy ass car, idk if I’d describe it as obtainable tho. For him obviously. We’ll see in a few months I guess. I’d love to have one, but not really into the frenzy and all that adm is just a turnoff for me.
It was an infomercial for his new car care line, lol. Kinda cringe, ngl.

As if giving billionaire Jay a free (or MSRP) D170 and the Jailbreak option wasn't enough.

Yeah, why even hype the thing if they’re all sold and you’re getting out of the ICE muscle car biz.

Because it helps sell the brand as a whole.
Can't get or afford a D170? Here buy this Hellcat.

I think there are something like 1,000+ new Hellcat available for sale right now.

Plus however many more get built.

A friend told me that a dealer in Tampa has 10 Challenger narrow bodies in stock with 10 Chargers coming.

Every time I go out, I constantly see truck loads of Charger/Challengers leaving Brampton like there is no tomorrow. [headslap]

The same Jay Leno that didn't know anything about these cars at the D170 reveal when interviewed?
He really didn’t. It was a horrible interview

I understand that you can buy from some dealers under msrp.

I would be very careful about getting one with all of the QC problems people seem to be having. 500 miles from my zip code.

He was probably like "hellcat, i have a hellcat"

They probably stopped him on his way over to see Ford about the GTD

Just 10?

Wasn't too long ago they felt like they were doing me a favor by allowing me to buy a Hellcat at only 10k over.

Maybe a different dealer but I called a few of them in Florida about cars. They can all fall into the ocean

Bad bearings in the superchargers and then some.
Funny they are trying to pass it off as a Hood shortage

Ya OK

There are other issues besides the supercharger bearings.... I don't think it's a hood shortage but a problem with the hood inserts like the 2018 Demons that they are trying to resolve. I've been told yes they've been building them on the production line, BUT parts will have to be added/replaced after the fact. I do know that apparently every one built up until now needs the supercharger replaced. I also knew about the Leno Demon for a few weeks now and know just how much had to be done to get the car done on time.

I just gotta protect my source. Something I will say that's kind of cool is apparently the badge on the supercharger has magnets embedded into it and the whiskey kit glasses nest to it and stick.

That's all I'm going to share for now. I still stand by the fact I don't think anyone that isn't a VIP is going to see their cars before Winter.

They have 10 in stock. Some are still playing the stupid game.
And they can keep them.
Pretty much done with Dodge dealers.

But I was interested in seeing what was out there.
Found a 22 at Huntington Beach Dodge for 18k off of sticker. Been on Cars.com for 285 days.
10k of that price reduction is them losing their markup. Then another 8k off sticker.

I think its 74k now.

It just rubs me wrong and I've lost all interest in trying to grab one.
Even the 24 TRX's base price is almost 20k over my 21 level 1!!!!

Enjoy those Hurricanes
