    Default Not New But New To Me (Almost New)

    I've been after a Hellcat since they came out in 2015 but I refused to pay over sticker so instead I bought a regular SRT 392 with a paltry 485 HP. This spring I've been eyeing a factory order on a new Hellcat Redeye but Covid had other plans. Just like 2015, unless you're willing to pay well over sticker (and I'm not) there were none to be had, MAYBE by next summer I was told by several shops. Well low & behold a mint 2017 with 4250 KM (not a typo) shows up online spec'd just like I had my 2021 laid out plus the original owner spent a bunch of money on things like 3M, extended warranty, etc.. Like my last few vehicles, a short test drive and about 5 minutes worth of negotiating and I signed my name. None of this 4-square bullshit and the man in the business office was 5 star, would work with again (no shock to old-time Beyonders). I have to admit I'm a little surprised at how different this unit is compared to the outgoing 392 but I guess a supercharger and another 222 HP will do that.

    Truthfully this is more or less a rental, once the world smartens up and a guy can factory order something again without waiting 18 months I'll likely pick up a Redeye. This isn't a terrible way to spend some time though.

    Fantastic! I can't imagine how much fun it would be to stomp on one of those and hear that insane supercharger whine! Have fun.
    Good for you!

    ZF 8-speed or stick?

    I’d love to have a run with my wagon against it!

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    I'm guessing you meant ZF 8 speed auto or six speed stick? It's the auto.

    Not really a fan of Dodge, but I did always like this body style. And you have a great example - congrats!

    This looks like a real nice car. That motor sounds great with that supercharger whine.
