There are enough of us floating around with Yellow Jackets on order now that we should start our own thread!
This will be the place to post your pics when you finally take delivery on your Yellow Jacket in just a few short weeks.
For now, introduce yourself, tell us where you're from, how you've optioned out your Yellow Jacket, what upgrades you are planning, and maybe other cars in your fleet. I'll go first.
I'm from Evansville, IN. Ordered a 6-spd, upgraded tires, NO sunroof, 730N w/ Premium Sound, Mopar Appearance package. My Speedlogix catch can is also on its way (thanks Shawn!) and skip shift eliminator. Eventually I want to get the Speedlogix CAI, Zoomers exhaust (maybe, I have to hear it in person first), and the back-up camera. Before I even drive off the lot I'm going to have them activate the DRLs and Navigation input while driving.
Other cars I own: '05 Audi A6 and '01 Nissan Pathfinder. This will be my first Mopar!
After two years of trying to figure out which Challenger I wanted (I had to have a Challenger after a test drive in '09!) the time had finally come - ordered a new Yellow Jacket yesterday:woot:Now the wait begins!

Last year, the guys ordering their GWEs ordered Feb. 1 and they got them in June. It seemed they waited until May to start making them because of the paint. However, the YJs are in dealers now, so I don't think paint will be an issue. The DYs were all painted on one run (I think). Yeah, the wait will kill you, but before you know it, you will have owned it two years, like me. The wife says I can get one, but I still think I don't need the power as I can get my SE over the speed limit by the time I get to the end of the on ramp. Just don't have the thrill. Perhaps if I drive one my opinion will change. Have fun with your rides. I'm waiting to find an aftermarket stripe that matches the YJ stripe.
I've sent them an email asking if they'll make the hood stripe that was SUPPOSED to come with our cars. I'll let everyone know what they say. I've told them that they'll probably get lots of business from us Challengertalk Yellow Jacket owners!
Parked beside one of the yellow jackets,should of brought my camera.
The stinger yellow is close to detonator yellow but the stinger is a shade darker not lighter as some people thought.
Just got my YJ over the weekend. I just sold my DY and was worried about buyers remorse after I got my YJ. I loved my DY. Here are my observations... The color: I think the SY might be a touch 'deeper' than the DY and maybe even a bit darker but not by much. As a matter of fact, unless you have both a DY and SY side by side it might be hard to tell the difference. My DY color appeared to be 'thinner' if that makes any sense. The SY definitely seems to be 'deeper'. If you are worried about the SY being dull, don't worry. It's still plenty bright. You will draw a lot of attention. lol. The wheels: I was surprised. I was really hesitant until I saw them in person. The wheels kind of fit the car pretty well. Stripes: The jury is still out. The side stripe is ok but there is a lot of unbroken yellow paint on the hood, roof, trunk etc. And like I said it's bright but maybe some sort of striping on the top/hood might be in my future...But who knows, maybe it will grow on me. If not, I can always change it, lol. The rest of the car is pretty much the same except for some small blacked out trim on the exterior and some small interior items/seat striping. Overall, the color is great. I'm very happy with it.
Our YJ is supposed to arrive next week. Are the YJ wheels same as standard SRT wheels? (spacing, offset,ect.) Can I run 275-40 all around with no handling or rubbing problems? I don't think I can stand leaving the car in the garage because of the f1 tires and cold temps....
That's awesome! I will definitely be ordering some bling with that logo. Can you make it any size? I was thinking of getting the fuse box cover, with that logo and "Yellow Jacket" on it. But I would want the logo and lettering to be larger than it would be on the catch can.
My buddies YJ came in today. He has to work for a couple weeks and then be home. Can't wait to get pics of the YJ and IE together. He sent me a pic today and the YJ is beautiful.
