2019 Challenger Hellcat

Good morning, all.

Years ago, I bought a 2009 Challenger RT in B5 Blue through the military auto sales while I was in Korea.


I was following @Speedy!'s Orange Crush build on CT (I think). I wrote to him to ask a question and found out I was about a year or so behind, since he had already moved on to Go ManGo! I liked the Hellcat from the first time I saw one in the wild, but it wasn't something I really thought about.

Then the Demon came out. Since I was in Guam (no way to order one at the only Dodge dealership on the island), I didn't dwell on it. Then the widebody came out and fell in love. But never really thought it was a possibility.

Last September, I was dropping my RAM 1500 off at the dealer for some recall work and saw a Widebody Challenger Redeye. My wife saw it, looked at me and said (and I quote) "I'd support you getting this." Blew my mind!

So, the brain started working...

Last month, I sold the RT to pay off her Q3 and open up space in the garage for something new ;) (I don't have the space that @ChargerChallenger has). I just couldn't get everything in order before the Power Dollars went away, so for now, I'll wait and look and build up a good down payment until (hopefully) power dollars or some other good deal comes up.

Until I'm able to order or find one and get back into a Challenger, I'll have to read and learn and live vicariously. Also have some decisions to make:

Frostbite Blue or Octane Red / 2.62 or 3.09 / Alcantara, Leather or Cloth / standard or HK sound / HC or HC Redeye / I'm sure there are others.....

I have never gone to the drag strip - but wouldn't mind making a few passes, at ChallengerFest, for example.

TL, DR: Had a 2009 Challenger RT, just sold it and looking forward to a Hellcat or Redeye
Welcome, and good luck shopping!

2020 Scat Pack Shaker
Well after 2 SXT Plus Challengers I went for the gusto last September. Bought a new just off the truck 2020 Scat Pack Shaker loaded in Sinamon Stick. Still trying to figure out why I leased the 2012 then bought a 2018 both V6 ? Guess I was trying to get away from racing ? I had to drive my trade in from SW FL to Kansas City, MO 1425 miles to get mine with the Scat Pack Shaker and color i wanted. Dealing with the crew at Gladstone Dodge in KC was a pleasure !
New chrome wheels staggered, front 9.5 x rear 10.5 , with 315x35x20 tires in the rear. Dynomax race mini bullet mufflers, Hellcat air box with tube, carbon fiber dash and center console appointments, painted the Brimbo calipers Rust-O- Lum bright red. So it's coming around.

Hi all
Just joined but had the Cat for 3 years. Bought used. It's stock except for Drag radials and did an 11.2 flat at Keystone Raceway Park.
I hope to get in the 10's soon. redu1.jpg 101010.jpg 13131313.jpg
