I agree DD, at 6'6" also and 280# the Hellcat is the right fir for me. I have a C3 Vette and I fall out of it to get out. Maybe the allocations should go by size and age, what do you think??
Isn't there something about beauty before age? Either way I would have been toast! I'd be waiting till next DECEMBER...
Folks, just remember that there is a very limited segment of the population that even want a Challenger/Charger Hellcat. As much as I like the car compared to to others, most Americans could care less. We are a select group who WILL get a car if you can remain patient. There will come a day that these will be available to purchase off the lot (yes I know its hard to fathom the thought, but it will happen). In time Ford will be producing a 700HP Mustang which to most Americans is a far more popular car and triples the sales of Dodges. GM will follow up with something for the Camaro
(its already in the works). The bottom line is simple, Dodge needs to capitalize while they can. Once the competition makes there specialty cars available things will change and you won't have people running around saying the sky is falling.. If this was a "very limited" car most everyday folks either wouldn't spend the money for this car or couldn't afford it because it would be priced to where only a select group of people would buy this car like celebrities or athletes.. So yes, this car is special because its the first of its kind, but let's chill out and let things happen. Its Winter for most of us anyway.. Oh and if you have a VON, that means nothing.. Its when you go to D status that means something. For people that gave deposits in "good faith" unless the dealer has an allotment, your not even in the order banks at Dodge..

It just seems so crystal clear. Make a statement, any statement. Blow smoke up our ass if you have to, but at least look like you care about what is going on. How much could it cost to pay some nerdy college intern to send a mass email to the people that have cars ordered and money down, asking us to be patient while they work the bugs out of the process. Right now the Dodge Brothers look like the Smothers brother!

Come on T, you know you would have been 00002, unless you have 850K to part with?
I agree KM, most of us know a VON means nothing. But I think if Chrysler took the people that have orders and money in from 3 months ago, and gave them all VINs, it would cool things down a bit
You have to remember bfusion that Chrysler isn't taking orders or deposits from any consumer, that's the dealers. Most dealers (ethical) aren't even taking orders if they don't have an allocation. Its unfortunate that there are dealers who are taking deposits to start a waiting list/line to get a car as they gain allocations from Dodge. Until they start building sold orders nothing will change. They will start building "sold" orders sometime next spring, but for now unless a dealers has an allocation, a;; of the VON's and deposits mean nothing to Dodge..
I've stated it before & I'll do it again: It's not that the car could take a while to be delivered. It's the fact that no one in the company has even made an attempt to answer my & others questions. Based on orders & line time someone there can forecast a build estimate. It's not a hard or impossible request. SRT in the U.S. provides you with some service. Try Canada! We are completely in the dark! If someone there had the balls to tell me or my dealer that it won't happen for me until the 2016 model; I'd have more respect for the whole handling of the situation than I do now... For me it has more to due with the lack of communication than the production time...
I hear ya! They'll get it together, be patient my friend, were going to get our cars..
Unfortunately a dealer can take a deposit and print up an order sheet and it will show BA status/sold order.. That however is not yet been excepted into the actual order bank by Dodge.. BX status is basically the first acknowledgment from the Factory.
Hey! I have a first acknowledgement from the factory. Woooo. Oh, wait...
"BX" in Dodge lingo stands for buzz kill. Don't let anyone else tell you different...
Can we 3D print a Hellcat yet?
I understand but if you ask most people, their contact with the car companies is through the dealer. Their dealer is Chrysler or Ford or whatever. You can't blame them
Two dealers want 15K and 20K over, Dick Scott Motor Mall wants 15k over and Franklin Sussex Auto Mall wants 20k over. I am tired as well, and do not know if we will ever get the car.
Dodge? I do not trust them anymore. Chrysler? Less than Dodge. They are playing with us the customers. I cannot understand that a small dealership located in the middle of nowhere gets 3 or 4 cats. No way. My dealership in MD is the number one or two in the DC area. There is no way for them to allocate more cars to that small dealership.
But they will not disclose their allocation numbers. It is a scam that starts at the top, CEO Kuniskis and all of his minions feeding lies to the press. That is my opinion. Because after all what I hear and see I cannot believe that this process is transparent as they want us to believe it is.
Happy Holidays Hellcat Maniacs !!!

Well dodge, another dealer pissed me off today, got me in the dealership under the guise that he had an available allotment with $7,500 deposit. Fine... Until I made sure the $7,500 went towards the price of the car. NOPE!!! Mark up bait and switch so a big F U! I now proudly own a 2015 ZL1. Not a hellcat but I have no regrets. Car is loaded and was less than what my hellcat invoice was for. Maybe I will reconsider in the future but you've lost a customer and I WILL spread the word
Either way, Congrats Joe! At least you got the weather to rip the highways up RIGHT NOW!!!
