I love the SRT 392 Charger’s in the 15+ configuration. But if I could afford it would rather spring for the Hellcat.

2015+ is what I would be looking at.
You forget who you're talking to? lol I can tolerate it for my dream car.
I've been over on the Jag forum & seems to be a mixed bag like any other car, but the gripes on the F-Type seem to be minor fit & finish things easily corrected or things that have a TSB out on them. Personal experience with them?
Just not sure I'd be happy with narrow body. Unlikely I'd find the right C7 with a WB conversion & I am not sure I want to spend the $3k+ to do it. Still considering a modded C7, though. Stock = no thanks.
See my OP. If not factory fast, I'm only buying cars already modded to my liking by the PO. Don't want a Z this time because I want the roof off. Hardtop FTL.
Can you elaborate? Send me a PM if need be. I am disappointed to hear this.
Like it, but I do think I'd want the HC every time I saw one if I went 392SRT.
God damn boring looks
Agree, but not going to buy a new car. Used FTW.
I'd get an Audi S6 and throw a tune on it. https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/726038284/overview/
Buy now before you wish you would've bought sooner.
Not exactly the pinnacle of reliable out of warranty or easy to work on, though, right? Everything I have heard/read says Audis have a shit maintenance schedule/cost & are a pain to wrench on.
Anyone think I should consider an F10 M5, modded E90/92/93 M3 and/or M4 or pass because of same reasons above?
Sell the Miata
LOL for what? Not like I'd get a ton of $ for it. With my agreed value policy, it's actually worth more wrecked...Sell the Miata
I'm vinyl wrapping it soon.
Damn you, I'm gonna list the Miata on the Miata forum tonight with a stupid price just to see what happens.

I won't be as lazy in my quoting this time...
I just don't enjoy turning wrenches like I used to, so I shy away from some of the 'dream' cars I'd love to build. I REALLY want to tack a fox body reto, but haven't forgotten the memories of owning one just yet...
No personal experience, but I wouldn't want one long-term.
With the right wheels and suspension setup, a narrow body C7 can look pretty damn good. I've seen a couple that make me forget about the wide body cars.
It's a super-fun car/suv to drive. In fact, it drives so well, I often forget it's a 5300lb vehicle. But, that simple fact rears its head a lot and it's not one that can be changed:
2018s will be in the market very soon! For what it's worth, the 15-17s are no slouch either, but I'd have to throw a power adder on any s550 platform to truly enjoy it.

- 12mpg is easily obtained, 14+mpg is really hard to obtain. It also calls for premium fuel. 21 gallons a week to drive 250-300 miles start to add-up
- More weight means more tire wear. I just turned 12k miles on my SRT, I think I'll get another 5k out of the tires--and 295/45-20s are not cheap
- My front brakes are nearly gone--in 12k miles! OEM parts are close to $1k for fronts only: $300 per rotor, $300 for pads. There are aftermarket options for a lot less than OEM, but I cannot believe I'm researching brake replacement at 12k miles
- two diffs and a transfer case to maintain, and Jeep does have relatively short fluid change intervals 20-30k miles...i think, I'd have to look it up again
- starting to see more reports of failed lifters in the 6.4 hemi--something to consider with any challenger or charger with the 392. The jeep only has a 3 year 36k warranty--I'll be dumping this thing before it ends

I'm right there with you which is why I want something already done. Whether it's by the PO or the factory, I don't care. I can deal with doing some appearance mods myself.
Jesus. I think you just talked me out of the GC SRT.
How do they look lowered with 18"s? LOL No doubt, any S550 I look at would have to have a power adder already installed for me to even think about pulling the trigger.
Jesus. I think you just talked me out of the GC SRT.
Right?!? Too bad 18's wont fit over the 15" brakes up front...or the 14" brakes on the rear. I do love the srt, but I'm already starting the research for its replacement...
I friggin love my 2015- no way i'm getting rid of it. Probably the only non-American car I would consider buying these days. Black/Black manual transmission, custom exhaust, tune, wheels, done and done. Great all around driving. If I did not have another daily then I would daily mine (except for my summer performance tires and our crappy SE Pennslvania winter weather)- but someone has to keep the Shelby company in the garage when not being driven!
If I was you- consider it!
Snow tires, my friend. I'd opt for the auto trans, though. Care to share why you love it so much? I will add it to my test drive list. No V8 exhaust note, though.
If I go HC Charger, I'll likely slap snows on it.

Snow tires indeed- but my Raptor has pretty nice tires on it so no need to put snow tires on an M4 unless it was truly my daily.
I love it because it has really consistent power throughout the powerband, I like the different drive modes (I keep mine in sport mode almost full time because it sounds and performs better with more immediate throttle response), I really like what twin turbos bring to the table (very responsive with little to no power lag), it handles beautifully (nice weighted balance and even at high speed cornering I have a rough time getting any tire screech), etc. I of course prefer the manual so have no experience with the automatics, but for those who prefer that I hear good things.
Yeah, no V8 exhaust note- one of the main reasons I had a custom exhaust put on it- it certainly helped and sounds great compared to stock, but a V8 is still a V8. I could not pass up the twin turbo engine power and torque increases over the V8 though. If I spent more time outside of my car listening to the exhaust/engine notes then I might have opted for the V8---but since I am inside of the car driving it then I will take the enhanced power over the sound. This is the same reason I went for the 2017 twin turbo Raptor over my old V8- more power!
I would definitely drive it if I was you.
If by "listed in the 40's" You mean $49,999
Chevy SS from that list.
I don't think they are going to go down very far in value from their current pricing. It's a very niche vehicle with not a lot of units sold, but a lot of people seem to like them.
