The last Hellcat rumor mill

[vortecd]

So I'm starting this thread since the Hellcat as we know it is coming to an end. It keeps getting brought up there may be one last special model before they pull the plug(or plug something new in)

I heard something today that was very interesting. One of our venders that comes in visits other companies and knows I have a Hellcat. He came in today and told me that a company he visits was approached to make 15,000 carbon fiber wheels for Dodge. A lot of companies around me in West Michigan make car parts for the big 3

He said it was for the Hellcat and they wanted 18" skinny fronts and 17" rears which is the smallest you can put on a Hellcat. Now if you run a Super Stock front brake maybe a 17" but still hit me as odd. He doesn't know enough about Hellcats to know that would be the smallest size that would fit

There could be something in the making or maybe they are just going to sell a special drag pack set of wheels you could buy but either way some food for thought

One of my contacts has told me there is one more model coming and his words "I would be impressed". I'm hoping. Mine's 6 years old now so something new would be nice to replace it with. If not no biggie, some motor work can always be done

I MAY have heard something like this a while back from a known source...

Seems like the cat is (coming) out of the bag...

He did tell me for sure Hellephant program was terminated so it won't have that.

I hope whatever it is i priced similar to what we have now. As we have seen the prices of redeyes have gone up this year and they have raised the price on jailbreaks who have already ordered them. Carbon fiber wheels sound cool but on the gt500 isn't that like a 10k upgrade?

 

[Speedy!]

Yeah that and no "limited edition" mumbo jumbo or I'm out.

 

[thetalonguy]

15,000 carbon fiber wheels / 4 = 3,750 wheels. 3,000 limited edition with 750 for extra stock?

Aren’t those CF wheels a fortune? Like 15-20k add on?

Whatever it is, if it is, I’d be priced out of market with ADM and 100% likely no manual option anyway.

Perhaps Super Sport with CF wheels and other weight reduction getting to 4K lbs, special stickers/trim and #’d dash plaque. Base MSRP $99,999. ADM+++++++++

Features versus Stickers... Makes a big difference...


I'm thinking Features

 

[ChargerChallenger]

Oh great your telling me something badder ass than the WB Challenger looks is coming. No no no no this means I will have to buy one😳

 

[why2kmax]

could be parts for the DC catalog, things that havent been announced yet too .

 

[Slowpoke387]

125k car for sure is coming. I cant see paying that regardless of how big, bad, and bedazzled it will be.

Same thing I was thinking.

 

[Magnified]

I am astonished at pricing at this point. I consider the 2017 I got at my price as essentially unattainable now at a reasonable price. Sad.

Awww..ya aint gonna miss nothin..all a bunch of smoke..we've seen the best..

 

[DGatzby]

What? We think they will pull -500 lbs out of a magic spot? Maybe drill 1000 holes in the frame? Think they are going to spend $1 on R&D and/or re-tooling for a one year run of something? I hope you are all correct. But I doubt it. Drop a HO Hellcat engine in the last Viper ACR model. Too easy.

100k car for sure is coming. I cant see paying that regardless of how big, bad, and bedazzled it will be.
