Hi All....
Like everyone else waiting for their Hellcat, I have been following various threads and am especially annoyed at the way some Dodge dealers are really screwing over those who have placed an order for a Hellcat...We are very lucky as our dealer is a friend and is LOYAL to his customers...not to his greed...and our Sublime Hellcat will be delivered to us a couple days after Chirstmas....BUT...we are also very lucky as to have the luxury to buy a 2015 392 which we ordered in August and received it the first week of October...For those who are sick of the allocation hassle, the dealership games, and who are totally frustrated by the possiblitiy of not getting a Hellcat before the end of next year...do yourself a big favor...Order a 2015 392! What you will receive is a Hellcat that doesnt come with the red key...period! The features, mechanics, even the baffled exhaust are no different than the Hellcat, with the only difference being the hood, engine, beefed up tranny, and the badging! I am not kidding when I say the 392 is amazing!!! We owned 2 2012 SRT8's and let me tell you, the 2015 SRT is night and day from the '12 when it comes to features, performance, and just about everything!! And we loved our 2012's but the '15 SRT is light years ahead of them!!
After putting about 1000 miles on our '15, I can not say enought GOOD about this car! We originally ordered TWO 2015 SRT's, with the second as a standby incase the hellcat fell thru...well, I can honestly say that we wouldnt be at all disappointed if we got a second 392 if something went wrong with our Hellcat order...and if we were experiencing the additional frustration of allocations, dealer dishonesty, and a potential long long wait to POSSIBLY never getting a Hellcat until maybe next year, we would definitly opt out of the Hellcat and pick up the second 392...they are that impressive!!
So if all this waiting and hassle to try to land a Hellcat has you down, just go and order yourself a 392...you will be saving $20K, not have the allocation crap to deal with, markup gouging to deal with, and end up with one KICK butt car!!!
I will post our comparison of the two cars when we have the Hellcat and have some post breakin miles on it...but except for the mistique and the extra ponies, I guarantee that you will see the cars go neck and neck for most everything...btw, our 392 is billet silver with black stripes, and ruby/black interior...and does it ever look MEAN from every angle..and when the exhaust baffles open up while the car is rocketing you forward...the thrill...indescribable!!!!
Regards,
Tony and Jody
