Picked up the new GT500 today!

[ChargerChallenger]

I just found out on the GT forum a salesman at the dealership made a video of my car the day it came in.

I found your first accessory.....since I know you're fond of decals

 

[vortecd]

Love the color. I had to settle for Sterling grey in '13 since Magnetic didn't come out until '15

Sets car alarms off! Haha, nice that’s a plus.

Congrats but it was parked in the wrong spot

LOL...thanks for the laugh. Good one.

 

[ChargerChallenger]

Not at all what you were getting at, which was pretty funny - but it is literally in the wrong spot.

He moved his Charger out of that spot in the garage to park the Cobra...
What sort of shack is the red white and blue beast in now?


Congrats by the way, good buy.

Thanks Jack and the Charger wont be thrown to the curb lol. She's just fine and she will be inside you'll see once I rearrange my shop. Projects Projects Projects lol you know and funny funny lol.

Here is just a brief summary of the new ride. And today was 30's and that's a no no on these Summer Performance tires. And tomorrow same temps so it wont be until Saturday and Sunday with temps in the 50s I hope to be able to get a better feel for her. One thing I felt last night was the DCT engaging when you let off the brake to accelerate in first gear. And my daughter who is 15 1/2 actually brought up the Manual Clutch Like Feel with this car. And in all the years of owning cars I have never felt this slight clutch like engagement off the line with an Automatic in essence vehicle. And now totally understand the delayed launch in all these drag videos. The car stalls for an instant then just blasts of while that Dual Clutch Engages. Just really different feel and the massive tires on her are felt big time along with the GNARLY Exhaust which I just love. The steering is so in tune to the surface (Camaro got the win on this but not sold yet) since the massive front tires just feel every imperfection in the road. Now keep in mind I drove this car 20 miles and at night very cautiously LOL. And I live out in the country and Deer are a major issue and DAMN DAMN sure enough deer runs across my path and thank god for the GNARLY exhaust that eliminated the story I would not want to share. And for the record I never drive my nice cars at night only Trucks and SUVS to run over the wild and not in your face.

Hehe, supercharger whine and exhaust barks does get them deer folk skipping Out of your way fast. That should count for enhanced safety rating haha

Ok....so my question is regarding comfort of the Mustang vs. Challenger. I know you have at least two of the newer Stang's, so I figure you have enough sources to truly compare
I didn't like the comfort of the Camaro compared to my Challenger. I've only circumstancially started shopping for a Mustang but will be stepping up my efforts soon, so some good first hand info would be great. If you don't mind.....

 

[Matt someone with an SRT]

Can you hear supercharger whine? If so is it anything like the hellcat?

The Challenger Comfort will be hard to beat. The higher stance off the ground first off gives easier access in and out to the Challenger. The lounge like seat and roominess in the Challenger is better. But the Mustang truly gives you more of the Sports Car feel and more compact smaller dimensions is obvious when looking across the passenger seat to the outside mirrors. The Mustang also radiates much more exhaust note interior wise which for some may not like this but it is truly race like feel and noise.

I wish I could answer that but just 21 miles home and babied her all the way and the exhaust interior wise on this car is very loud and border line obnoxious lol. This Weekend I should know and they recommend 100 miles yes 100 miles before you open her up. But not lengthy time high RPM.

BREAKING-IN
Your vehicle requires a break-in period. Drive your new vehicle at least 100 mi (160 km) before performing extended wide open throttle maneuvers and at least 1,000 mi (1,600 km) before operating your vehicle at high speeds or track conditions.
Note: Vary your speed frequently in order to give the moving parts a chance to break in.

 

[SilverBillet]

When can I come over for a test drive? Promise to keep it under 100.👍

 

[04Ram2500Hemi]

Yes I am here as a true Dodge MOPAR Lover confessing to my new FORD GT500 purchase. And to get a GT500 right now is just like the good old days for the initial Hellcat run back in late 2014 and 2015. Good luck finding one without ADM and actually getting your order. I ordered a Iconic Silver Base last September and too date no vin and or build time. And today I purchased a Magnetic Base from a dealer never planning on this to actually work out lol. Just incredible how this all came to be and I wont go into all the details since this is a Dodge Hellcat Forum. But thought I would share since it’s always nice to interact with all the members here. And here’s some pics and yes still have my MOPARS

You sir, are a bad influence!
This car is freaking beautiful!!

I've got a 2009 who do you pick one now,
Lindax

 

[stonewall]

It's nice.

 

[JRabq]

Congrats! Very aggressive lines on exterior. Carbon fiber nice on interior! Quite different vibe than the HCs, but excited to hear the comparisons and contrasts driving it. Have fun!

Yup, let me know. Because so far all I’ve heard in videos is exhaust and no supercharger sound.

Do you have the exhaust switch?
From mild or obnoxious. 😂
