Went in for my 2 week visit - They have been told that they believe they will get their allocation amount next week. They also still believe they will be able to put orders in the week of the 16th. Now I will be on vacation that week so I said I would provide them with my "specs" prior. This is the interesting comment - he said he doesn't expect to be able to "order" a car that Dodge will build spec cars and they will get what they get. He said e-mail him my desired order and if he can put it in that way they will - but of course I will be the first to know.

Now, they didn't do this in '08 - granted you could only order one of three colors and there were three other options (no manual) and that was it but you were still able to choose. Has anyone heard of spec cars being built and not being able to order desired options.

The saga keeps unfolding doesn't it. At least the deal of if he gets allocated (3) so two other than mine he will honor MSRP if not we'll see. I would say it is now a 50/50 chance I will be getting a first run car :dunno:

That's exactly what 2 different dealers told me in my area...no custom orders...they get what they get

...WTF is that?

Ok, so he wasn't the only one. Yeah WTF... I don't think any real Mopar enthusiast who has been waiting for this car would take one that didn't meet want they want perfectly especially at the price point.

This makes no sense. Why option them and ship them out instead of taking orders from hundreds of us waiting to do so? Maybe 500 or so but not initially. Allow those of us ready to order to do so. Easily 500 there. Then crank 500 or so out and allow orders to get the other 2000+ mix of dealer orders and individuals.

Its a great point - the Mopar people are supposedly reading these forums - if they really valued true Mopar enthusiasts they would offer the first ones to us at a set price move them through dealerships allowing them to get their dealer kickbacks. They would get amazing goodwill, move the numbers they want make a profit and get the best social media publicity they could ever want.

But that would be too easy, too nice, too human to do so - is anyone really listening - I don't know. Maybe
the question should be does anyone really care.

Well I don't know what to say, I went to the dealer in Canada they logged in and pulled up the Hellcat. I got to pick my colour however on the screen it said late availability for some colours. I then went to options and there were not many. The sepia leather was late availability and sunroof was not available. Everything else was. I got my von, they printed the order sheet and I was done in ten minutes.

I would suggest waiting to see lots of speculation here.

Good luck for those ordering.
