Yes, but now all future sales of the Hellcat are suspended. Dodge says they have so many orders and their dealers are playing silly games with "market adjustment" pricing, the factory has suspended all orders/sales until they sort out production and the dealer network.

Old news, but the 2 recalls are easy dealer fixes. They are awesome cars. Next door neighbor got one. There was one running at the 1/2 mile last week tearing it up. Very impressive car.

I love everything about my ZL1 and respect the competition's own version....despite the faults.It is not like our cars are perfect....
Bottom line?
Don't take for granted any offer any brand's attempt to satiate the need for speed.
.......and Money.

Are you a hater if you never would buy a Dodge based on their history of unreliability.

Skinny tires are not an issue. At the 1/2 mile in Gila Bend the bone stock Hellcat was faster than any modded ZL1 an just as fast as a C7 Z06. Tires didn't seem to hurt it at all.

The fact that they have 9000 sales/orders is crazy. That is as much as the 1st 2 years of the ZL1.

I just don't get the hate. They made a great car. Good for Dodge. It will just make the next ZL1 or GT500 that much better.

Driver! Good thing it didn't have to turn in that 1/2 mile, can the fat cat turn?

I know of no recall more hilarious (or shameful) than our own key recall...

The ZL1 is already the better car. Other than the 1/4 mile where does the hellcat out shine it?
