To answer the last line...
Yes, I'm enjoying mine. It's got 4K on it, and needs tires.

Sound of Blower intoxicating. Just drive it. Enjoy. Forget resale.

I was testing cars/trucks for Stellantis through mountain roads back in those days. All the way up to the Red Eye Demon Wide Body and the TRX. Never the 170. The only complaint I had was that shifting into 6th required me to stick my right elbow way out to catch the gear. Now I'm hearing about the "Hemi Tick."

I would love one, but can't really justify the cost. A friend at work just bought a pristine 2014? B5 Blue Hellcat 6 speed. It is nice and I'm sure fast as f#$%.

Kinda funny, but not really. I was driving a brand new Red Eye in the middle of the mountains at night when all of sudden out of nowhere I thought, "I think I'm going to hurl!" I've probably only done that twice in the last 25 years. Thank God I got pulled over and made it back.

5.7. 6.2. 6.4. No Hemi tick.
