2023 DD SRT order updates?

This is true, but the Hellcat was a "one-off" in 2021 and is a "one-off" in 2023. the Durango SRT 392, which is what I am talking about, had a base MSRP in 2019 of $62,995; in 2023 the base MSRP is $70,690. 10-12% price increase in 4 model years is not, IMO, a significant increase compared to the rest of the market. The fact that you can't buy one for $70,690, and that you have to spend (if you can get one) ~$77K for a Plus or ~$83K for a Premium, is how they get ya....

It is actually not that bad my 2022 stickered for $82,440 it is pretty loaded but I did not add second row consol or the upgraded brakes or stripes.

Its not bad if you want all the options...but in my case if I could order "a la carte" like I did in 2019 I probably would get exactly what I want with an MSRP of $77K or so. In 2023, the "Plus" didn't have everything I wanted, but it included the red interior and some other stuff that I didn't want. The Premium has everything that I wanted, but some stuff I didn't want, notably the red interior, the premium soundsystem (I am half deaf), second row console, the upgraded brakes, and I forget what else.....(I could be wrong on some of the details....it has been several months since I went over all this....)

Anybody gotten word when the 2023 SRT 392 Base will be available to order?

Not sure what the over/under is but my bet is "never." Maybe they will ship a few to dealers for showroom eye candy, but they won't be orderable....

Just checked with my dealer order manager and not yet.

Personally, I doubt it will ever happen. On the bright side, I just saved $75,000.

Why do you say that?

Just a guess. Why should they? They have created huge demand by (perhaps falsely, time will tell) leading us all to believe that this is the real last hurrah for the hemi. They know (for now) that they can sell every one that they make, and there is huge profit in options, so why not force us to buy one with all the options?

Of course they sorta screwed 2021 Hellcat purchasers this way, but now that the engineering is done loaded Hellcats are also huge profit sources. And, Chrysler/FCA/Stellantis have always made good use of "halo cars" (Prowler, Viper, SRT's, etc...) to sell their other garbage....

I waited a little over a month for the online tracking to change from in production to built, even though it says jan 30 and feb 24. I honestly got the built and shipped update this week within a day of each other. Your dealer will have the most accurate and detailed info.

Yes!!! @tiebar90 Both my '18 SRT and my '21 HC were Octane Red

Lighter colors like white and silver result in faster cars. You see, darker colors absorb photons and thus make the cars heavier and slower. Lighter colors (and especially lighter metallics) like white and silver reflect photons and the cars are thus lighter and faster. And, in some cases, the reflected photons can actually give a slight forward "push" to SUV's due to the increased painted surface area of the liftgate, resulting in even more speed.

That's my story and I'm sticking with it!

Plum Crazy Purple has completely debunked this theory, go and check it out you will see I am correct.

This is why I add stripes and decals because they add 10-15HP a piece. ITS BEEN PROVEN
