When I ordered my hellcat Durango I was very interested in that inviolet color. But the dealership could not show me any images of any hellcat let alone one in that color so I went the safe route and went black.

Since that time of course there’s been several photos on this forum of the inviolate color and I think it looks spectacular!
In-Violet is not available on the SRT trim.
And it doesn't look like that picture in real life. I researched it and found a video online of a car dealer showing it off. It looks more black with a hint of purple. But a very faint hint. They could have done a really nice job with that but they failed twice: too black and not offered on the SRT.
 
I could buy a starter house in AR for the price of a HellCat ! Or two !

Couldn't drive the house but couldn't live in the HellCat either !

Envy you guys with that much disposable income and "Money to Burn" !
 
It boggles the mind how much money and work went into our muscle cars in high school to never get this performance. But it was fun for sure to try.

Amen.
I have some work to do if I want to “hang“ with you hellcat boys.

did some baseline runs just to see what she’s capable of before I get my downpipe in tune. Not too bad at all. Kind of humid so I’m sure it could be better.

Now you didn’t think I would just quietly walk away from my Hellcat without Plan B did you lol? I couldn’t do that unless I got something that can run with you guys.
Here is the dyno for the vehicle on the tune I am adding. The downpipes are being built as we speak. View attachment 114761
That's some neck-snapping giddy yup, brother!
 
Funny story, I called my guy at the dealership and he says “I’ve been getting phone calls all over the country since you put my name out on the forum about the Hellcat Durango’s” and I’m like really, because no ones said anything here lol. So looks like someone in here is swooping in to pick them up and wants to get it locked before saying anything lol! Whomever you are I’ll tell you as far as dealerships go you’ll be all right with them. No stupid games. They are locally owned and great ppl right. I’ve never had an issue with the 15 or so vehicles I’ve gotten there. Happy hunting hope it works out. They only have the 2 allocations left luckily there’s a lot of red-nex here who love hellcats so their a high volume dealer.
 
Oh wow that’s crazy. We were trying to figure out how they were “sold out” so quick yet ppl are still ordering, or were I should say. Best I can figure out the dealer had their allotment and then let the customer spec it out how they wanted. But still I paid zero $ down, and paid no ADM. Hiester Dodge in Lillington should have theirs any day now. To the best of my knowledge it is not sold yet. No idea on specs but maybe if interested you could call them, ask for Bryan Cummins if you do. Tell him the other guy who bought one sent you and told you there was no ADM. Just throwing it out there for you brother sorry it’s been crappy for you.
If you saw this and called Bryan and don’t want everyone to know PM me I’m curious how it’s working out for you. Also as I’m right down the road I can physically go there if need be for you or help in any way. I’m like a good neighbor, I’m there if need be.
Airborne!
 
I've had mine since then as well, got it in 1978. I dated my starter wife in it, my daughter got to be scared in it, but my good wife hasn't had the pleasure. I've been "restoring it" since 1995. It currently has a pistol grip and Magnum 500s from my friend's '70 but I need to put the original shifter back in and find wheels for the original hub caps. I did get an Air Grabber for it from a guy many years ago so that's going to go in it as well. Lot's of great memories and lots of work to do. $$$$$$$$

They are now garage mates. Soon to be friendly road rivals.

Well. I had my eye on since the day the rumor leaked- that it was being built. Worked hard to be aware of when the ordering banks for open and to find a dealer that would sell me one MSRP. It was more bad luck but I didn’t get the one I ordered than anything else and since I found one where the dealer was willing to work with me on MSRP I pull the trigger.
