2016 Challenger Hellcat
#1
So it's been about a month. A long, miserable, boring month without my Hellcat.

I've looked at many other cars and have come to the conclusion that I will be buying another cat. Probably Challenger but would pick up a Charger if it was spec'd correctly.

Probably not buying new, unless it was some amazing deal but will be looking for a 1 owner gem. If any of you want to sell your car - DON'T! But if you know of a gem somewhere, let me know!

Will be buying privately - again unless a dealer had a crazy good deal. AZ doesn't charge sales tax on private sales.

Subscribed for the journey. Hope you share with us all. I agree on buying used in your case. Makes sense.

Sweet and Charger if I was you they truly are a blast and so practical. And if anything go drive one and the front seat does have more leg room😁 and it is a nice change up of Cars and I have both and my Charger which I bought 6 months later has more miles than my Challenger. Close to double the miles if that tells you anything.

With young kids isn't it a pain with car seats in the Challenger? Now my kids are in the seat belt car seats, so easy for them now.

Buy what you want. We have both models and I like the Charger way better. We had an R/T years ago so it isn't just because the current Charger is a Hellcat.

I don't ever have the fam in my Hellcat. If we go somewhere, we take the wifes Atlas. She's a stay at home Mom, so she's always available with her vehicle.

Only twice in the year we owned my Hellcat did she drive it.

So Teresa picks up 2 of the grand kids on occasion and seems to be able to make it work fine

It’s a total drag i drive one of my underpowered 400hp cars😁. I mean when your out on the road and the jerk in front of you try’s to lock you down. Uh huh yep Hellcat says bye bye and especially the BMW and Tesla crowd it’s a blast to walk those ones😁

I lasted less than a year after selling my last Hellcat before buying my current one. Picked up a mint M6 15 with 3,000 miles from an older fellow who babied it for a good price. Shouldn't be too difficult to find what you are looking for.
