I have been talking to my dealer for a year now about ordering a 2016 Hellcat Challenger. I spoke to him and I am officially first in line to order when the 2016s are available for order.
Please keep moving if you do not want to get worn out with my whining and rants while I wait.
I am going to need someplace to vent. This is it. If you want to vent while you wait also, welcome.
I plan to post links and notes that I might want to find quickly along the way.
Order banks open 13-17 August.
VON cancelled, order banks reopen 27 August.
