I’ve been thinking hard about swapping out the Hellcat Challenger for a Trackhawk. Maybe in the next few months.....
Have also toyed around with the idea of getting a basic crew cab truck for my daily and picking up a serious 2 seater weekend toy instead.
One week I’m all for the trackhawk and the next week I catch myself browsing ZR1’s & lightly used Mclarens...
Awesome man.

If I could afford a lightly used McLaren, I would go that route. A new ZR1 would be killer as well.
I was looking at a left over 2018 Jeep SRT a couple of weekends ago, but the dealership wanted to give me less than I wanted for my trade. Oh well,....they're loss. lol They had 2 left over 2018 Trackhawks and they are gorgeous.

Wish I could spare a quarter million to consider a used McLaren.......

Mclarens seem to be very short lived in the garages of the track members I'm around. People seem to get bored of them.

They hold their value terribly. MP4-12C and 650S can be had less than $130k.

I want a Trackhawk also, but not sure I would own one. I wish they would do blowout lease deals on the leftover 2018s, but so far haven't seen anything. We currently have a Grand Cherokee Altitude and it's one of the most comfortable vehicles I've owned. I just don't know if the drivetrain on the Trackhawk will hold up long term so it seems expensive to own.

Honestly I don’t think I’d sweat it at stock power levels. The engine and tranny combo are bomb proof. The only real question to me is the transfer case and thus far they’re holding fine.

As a daily With maybe the occasional track trip I just don’t see it being a problem.

I guess it depends on which vehicle I'd consider selling. My daily is an F250 and I love it. I'll never own another gasser. But after rolling it across the scales last weekend I realized I'm a little closer to the GVWR than I'd like. I see a dually of some sort in my distant future. I'd love to pick up an F450 and never have to worry about what I'm towing again. Especially with some of the toy haulers the wife seems to gravitate towards.

If the Cobra did sell I think I'd step away from Mustangs for a while. I've had a Mustang in some way since I was 16. (I'm 41 now). I might even go import next time around. I like the wife's A6. Even though it's an 09. I've ridden in my cousin in law's 2014 S6 and really liked it. For the longest time I was really into GT-R's. But they're starting to become more common around here. I was lucky enough to drive an R8 for my 40th birthday and that left a lasting impression. So that's probably what I would go for if I could swing it.

I go back and forth on my next DD, I've had plenty of time to think it over while our commodities market is in the toilet. I've thought about trading the current 2012 F150 for either a Lariat with some stuff done to it or maybe a Raptor. I've also considered just keeping my truck and leasing something euro-trash fancy for a bit.

That's crazy. I can't imagine the SRT's are flying off the shelves due to the TH being not that much more expensive, depending on options. And those aren't selling as well right now.

Their loss indeed.
