Well...at least you didn't get an obnoxious color.

Honestly, you almost _have_ to get a crazy color with a Hellcat, there's nothing subtle about it, plus it's a great throwback to ol' school muscle (something the Challenger does really well).

They really do.

congrats!!!!! Im really wanting a Challenger lately, Ive been looking at the SRT 392's

I got nothing against Dodge, but the challenger is such a damn big car. The S550 is already huge, I can't imagine getting something bigger than this. The powertrain is great but its such a damn big and heavy car.

And for some reason, the challenger is the only car out of the three muscle cars that I dislike the exterior. I like the charger, but the challenger doesn't appeal to me for some reason. Just my opinion.

All that being said, Congrats on the new car! Hope you enjoy it.

I had a SRT8 Challenger for 4 years before I bought my GT/CS. I really liked the Challenger, but I had too many close calls with the huge blind spot. Backing out of a parking space was a pain! (The newer ones may have cameras and sensors now, I don't know.)

Congrats on the new ride! I have always been a Ford guy and still am, but as an overall "car guy" I can certainly appreciate these. Have fun with it!

Love the color, enjoy it man!

congrats on the pick, there are plenty of hellcats sitting on dealer lots now you can get good discounts

Me and bro bought a 2013 SRT Viper GTS about a month ago. I cant make fun of MOPAR anymore. I too went with a non obnoxious and subtle color that will in no way attract attention

Thanks guys for all the compliments. I will say this about the car. It's way different than the Mustang in every sense. 2 completely different cars. The stang was smaller more sporty and the interior was compact. This is a huge car both outside and inside. The interior has lot of headroom and the back seats can be used for more than storage. It barely fits in my garage. While I appreciate the extra space inside I do prefer the Mustang interior. And as far as looks go. They are both gorgeous cars in their own way. I loved how each car looked. But the main reason for switching was of course the engine. There is no comparison when it comes to that. The hellcat is a rocket. No matter how big or heavy it is. And i love that whine plus it just pulls and pulls and pulls. Now traction is a different story. It is kind of annoying not being able just to floor it and go. But eh first world problems I guess.

Thanks. I've always been ano overall "car guy" myself. Not really loyal to anyone or ever had a preference. I just like what I like.

Thanks. If you think the S550 is huge then the challenger is like a tank. But looks are subjective and that's cool man. We all have different taste. At the end of the day it's whatever makes us happy

Grats on the hellcat! I'm looking to trade the ecoboost in on one soon. I'll keep the GT.

My dad just traded his '11 Z06 for a new Hellcat Challenger a couple weeks ago!!! He's 71yrs old and 6ft 2" and it was painful watching him fold his body up like a lawn chair to get in and out of the 'vette.

The ZF transmission programming in the Hellcat is phenomenal. It only has 200 miles on as of last weekend, and he is "breaking it in" per the owner manual. The fast shifting with partial throttle inputs still results in mesmerizing exhaust pops. If I had the money....
