Awesome purchase Bob. There isn't a better looking sedan anywhere on the planet these days. It just yells "bad ***"!
Enjoy it immensely!!!

I pulled the trigger on 2019 Scat Pack Charger
- Thread starter 1978 NYB
- Start date
I only have driven 70 miles so far. I did have a Mustang and a Camaro kind of chase up to me. We pulled up to a stoplight and when it turned green they were hesitant to chase any longer. I'm taking it easy and following the break in procedure.
I can't wait to try the launch function. LOL!
You lucky guy. I thought you were going to buy one earlier, but you ended up with the RAM. I'm hopeful you'll drive it the way it is built for.
I believe Mopar has the computer governed to 175 mph. I won't be driving that fast.
Well maybe once....
By now, they know their place - losers if they try!
Dodge's performance strategy and tough looks has kept their sedans alive in the marketplace while the other U.S. manufacturers have dropped most of their sedans due to low sales volumes/no profits. But Dodge Charger and the Chrysler 300 are still kicking. And they are very sturdy, quality cars. I still think it takes plenty of engineering know how to release such street monsters to the public and they will still take the abuse and keep coming back for more. That really impresses me.
Giving the engine at least 500 miles breakin is probably a good idea and the owners' manual stresses that too. I wouldn't be surprised that they are tracking how it is being broken in by monitoring and recording the performance parameters encountered in that first 500 miles in the on-board computer so if you go in for warranty work later, they can reference the data to either approve or not approve a powertrain related repair needed later on.
But given how well you take care of your cars, e.g. your former Chrysler 300, I am sure you are doing what they want. I would buy any car you sell without any questions asked sight unseen right away if I needed another one and it was available. I agree that they will make money off of a jewel like that one.
You have been through a lot, and you deserve a treat like that black beauty.

That's been the problem at Carlisle. All the newer stuff people own they rather drive in comfort and fuel economy than in the old ride. Which has led to the decline of pre 1980 stuff on the field .
FYI, even my wife mocks those that leave the yellow strips on the nose. Half think they belong on there and the other half thinks they help.

I kinda like the little yellow scrapers, I’d leave them on.
Dayum, Bob! I'm totally at a loss for words. . . Except to say: YOU TOTALLY SUCK !!
I was talking to the salesman while my Scat Pack was being prepped and there is a Hellcat parked right next to his cubicle. I asked him if I wanted to test drive a HC would he let me. He said they have a lot tire kickers that ask for a test drive. He will ask if he can conduct a credit check first. Most say no so the test drive is a no. Or if their credit comes back a fail the test drive is no. He said why would I let someone test drive a hot rod that I know doesn't have any intention of buying the car. BTW, he said he would of let me test the HC. My Scat Pack had 6 miles on it so I was the first person to drive it. Plus they only had the car for 24 hours before i walked in.

And be laughed at ....
I asked about those yellow guards when I was taking pictures and the dealer recommends leaving them on for now. I guess they have replaced a lot of splitters. If you trash the splitter it's not a valid warranty claim and the cost of replacement and installation is on you. And they aren't cheap. I'll play it by ear down the road and either leave them on, paint them black, or take them off. But for now I'll leave them on.

It kind of reminds me of yellow caution stripes that you would see around heavy equipment or maybe around the impellers on a fighter jet and implies a little bad ***. It’s a nice touch I think.

Sweet, now this is a car I can get behind, actually, get left behind by, is more accurate.
I'm jealous, but you deserve it, congrats.
No parking head in at your place.
No parking up to a sidewalk anywhere.
No parking anywhere you can't pull straight thru to leave.
No high speed entrances into parking lots
Your splitter will thank you.
