Talk me out of a hellcat.

[Budnicks]

I'm not seeing any downside...

if not for the sticker price & Insurance
that's kind of nutz'
& I just bought a Gladiator Rubican Launch Edition in Nov 2022

Without reading all the preceding posts. I was talking to my son about the end of of the Hemi Hellcats and he brought an interesting perspective. There will be a lot of hype about the end of what was a very popular car. Dodge is not stupid enough to not replace it with something even faster. by 2027 I imagine the Hemi Hellcat will be out of style. Just as in the late 60's early 70's cars became unpopular. We all know they were stupidly cheap for years. Now in 25-30 years the very best Demons and 170's will be worth a lot but that's a long wait. Let's face it. The Chargers and Challengers are already old cars. They're fast but technically very old.

In 10 years when a young man goes to pick up his hot date in a 2023 Challenger, I doubt she is going to be impressed.

Believe it or not both the hellcats purchase price and insurance are less than my wife's 2020 expedition.

Wrong. Resurgence is based on a 50 year old design. Timeless.

I loved my 300.....awesome car, great ride and fun. Is the SRT an option/was an option or was that something you took care of. That is awesome..... love this car.

However - it was a cop magnet, my trooper buddy told me that they teach them in the academy that 300s come standard with drugs in them....LOL

1of 200 SRT's. Last of the SRT 300's. Lucky bastage actually was able to get one. lol

My wife was fully on board with the purchase until we were talking and I said it has a top speed of 199mph. She said nope, you can't have it. I said too late, it'll be here monday.

That's telling her!

I wear the pants in my house too. I do the cleaning, dishes and laundry the way I want to!

Oh she was half joking. But I don't think she fully realized just how powerful of a car it is either.
