2017 Charger HC (once upon a time)
#41
Okay, I started looking at used HC's. I found an 18 pretty close to everything I want. Here is my window sticker and the Cat Sticker - Give it to me straight. What am I losing by go down a year, what am I gaining besides 200HP!! (yay). Mine has 15K miles, this one has 4K and is of lease.

IF I don't make a deal on this one, it still seems to be the way to go for me used with low miles. Thanks in advance -

Too few doors.... that's the first problem.

Get the Hellcat. Scat pak’s/392’s are great as well but I guarantee if you go with the Scat/392 2 months later a Hellcat will line up next to you at a light and you will be smoked lol. Try and go for a 18+ if you can. Now if can get into a Redeye now your talking!
Like stated above a few small mods and a great tuner you can add an extra 100hp easily to a Hellcat. I know 2 guys that have a 392 and both of them put in 15K$$ plus to try and be faster than a Hellcat. 1 blew his engine.... for that price he should of just got the cat.
Good luck with everything.
Sorry if someone already said what I just said. Didn’t read whole thread.

Great choice! Oddly enough my GF talked me out of getting the SRT392 and glad she did. What's the point of getting that when you'll always want the HC? I'm glad I waited the the year and ordered exactly what I wanted. Nothing wrong with the Scats or in my case the SRT392 just now I have no regrets.

If you’re a car guy and you can pay for it, HC is the only way to go.
if you’re not a car guy or you can’t afford it, the Scatty is an excellent bargain.
I imagine it took about 5 minutes behind the wheel of the HC to realize what you’ve been missing.

Lmao! See you get it! I definitely have to tune her out quite a bit though that's not easy because she only has 1 volume and that's loud! All that said she will do anything for anyone and takes care of everyone above and beyond. Ya man you're a lifer with her!

I bought a scat pack in 2018 and with in 11 months had sold it and moved into a hellcat. As many have said it depends what you want to use it for.

If you're looking for power and racing hellcat is the easy answer.

Last correspondence from OP 2:30 on a Friday afternoon wonder what happened to him:unsure:. Uhm oh yeah he’s out smoking the competition or breaking her in the right way to keep the tradition going. Congrats on your really nice ride and color choice and be sure to take the official PICS with your HC in front of your Garage:cool:

Same thing. Got a Scat off showroom floor July 2016, traded it for a HC July 2017.

It comforts me that you knew you should not marry your sisters, man.
