Steve,

Are you having purple car withdrawals? Do we need to build you another with a 6.4 crate in it this time?

Cheers
Dave

Got an updated Purchase Order Contract (POC) last week. Car has moved from "BG Restricted" status to "C-Tentative Schedule" status. No VIN yet but the 2022 assembly line ends production on 12/12/22 and moves to 2023 production. They have already built a dozen or so 2023 Pilot Hellcats according to insider info.

Had her out for probably the last day before the snow (and salt) come down. The translucent stripes really pop in the noon-day sun.

Sweet car love the stripes that disappear! Happy to see another mopar on here. My dad had a dodge d500-1 convertible which is what spurred me to buy the hell cat Durango in 21 just thrilled they are making another run of them :-(

You can do donuts w yours which I can’t w the Durango wish they’d made it selectable between 2 and 4 wheel just for that reason

The final 2022 production numbers were tabulated by one of the members on the Hellcat.org site.

881 Narrow Body Hellcat Redeye Challengers were produced.

Only 69 of those were in Octane Red.

Only 10 Octane Red were produced with a Demonic Red interior.

So, 1 of 10 made aint so bad.

If anyone wants to see the overall productionchart, it is here: https://www.hellcat.org/threads/curr...umbers.253630/

The order tracking website finally shows an actual rendering of my 2023 order. They are staging the new paint color introductions with Sublime already being produced and B5 Blue is next, followed by Plum Crazy (on 2/27/23) and then Destroyer Grey in March. All the other colors are already being produced. Can't wait to see that Purple with the Demonic Red interior! I gotta get me one of these Austin Powers matching jackets.

Well it looks like the purple car order is gonna get cancelled (by me).

Some weird things were popping up on the hellcat websites so I did a little digging:

The 807 hp rating of the narrow body Redeye Jailbreak was advertised on the Dodge website from day 1. But recently a buyer took delivery of his car that was just built a couple weeks ago and the SRT app on the infotainment center which displays the horsepower rating, said "797" and not "807" like it was supposed to show.

So I started digging and comparing build sheets and window stickers from the narrow body Redeye Jailbreak and Widebody Redeye Jailbreak and found something very concerning: the widebody listed the "high performance engine controller" as part of the Jailbreak package ONLY on the widebody version.

That didnt sit right with me.

Here's what the website showed from late October to 2/1/23:
