Long story short, dealer called me said someone backed out of their Hellcat order, they have the car on site and looking to sell it at MSRP asap. This car would essentially be replacing my BMW z4 as my non-winter Daily Driver. The current hang ups I have with it are that:
1) it is a manual. I have read some negatives about the manual in this car, the auto is where it shines. Clutch is heavy and people have been reporting have clutch issues already and dodge replacing the clutches.
2) its a big car (I am use to smaller cars) especially since I drive in a lot of traffic
3) Would have to keep it a long time (see below for reasons) and 1st year model has me a bit worried.
Other cars I would want over this for my DD would be the M3/M4 or hold off for a GT350.
Went to look at it, and its the granite gray color, looks BADASS in person. On the website the gray was my last choice in color option, but now its definitely rocketed to 1st place.
Payments are not a concern, but whatever I get I want to love and not regret or have 2nd thoughts about. This happened when I bought my CTS-V, and sold it 3-4 months later. Wife/family thinks I go through cars too quickly and whatever I get next I promised I would keep for a long time (5 years +)
Thoughts?
