    The Official "I ordered" thread

    Okay, I'm out of patience now. We ordered a Trackhawk on 2-12, and it's STILL not at the dealer. I'm starting to better understand Scatpacksam's frustration. Should probably call customer service and ask them what the heck is (or isn't) going on. Jeez, you'd think it was going to Mexico or...

    The Official "I ordered" thread

    I suspect that he was before ordering, and then it got worse. That was all over on "the old forum". Anyway, he'd call customer service several times per day, post some 5-10 times per day (in various threads) about his agony after not getting his car within a month or so. Making it even more...

    Glad you look at it the right way, Pierre. If for no other reason, because I'm not sure I could endure another Scatpacksam.

    Traction / Stability Control

    Not a fan of traction control, but I must admit that my '18 saved my butt big time when I foolishly ran through a sweeper at nearly full throttle. I could feel the electronic gizmos doing their best to keep me on course. And luckily they succeeded. Yes, I could've gone through that curve...

    Shape of your paint when you received your new Hellcat?

    Paint? You guys got paint on your Challengers?!?

    No, not really. But what's funny is how she decided to order the car: She did a coin toss. She really likes her Macan, which will go bye bye, so it wasn't an easy decision for her.

    She's partial to Granite. It matches her Porsches' Agate Gray. And, of course, her Redeye.

    The Official "I ordered" thread

    Okay, my girlfriend just ordered a Trackhawk. It would be embarrassing if it shows up before Pierre gets his 'Cat.

    Trackhawk is dead no more better grab one while you can

    It just dawned on me that at least you get slotted rotors with a Trackhawk...unlike those measly Redeyes.

    Yep, they put whatever on there, and ideally a full load. Your 'Cat will not ride in perfect company, unfortunately.

    Trackhawk is dead no more better grab one while you can

    I would think that the actual speed, and amount of passing (floored on 2-laners), is more influential than if it's a freeway or any other kind of road. Although, since I have yet to be able to maintain over 85 mph due to the break-in period, I can't speak for real life mileage at this point...

    The Official "I ordered" thread

    It's probably not all that many of them heading that far south, so logistics is likely the holdup. Hang in there, Pierre.

    I knew I couldn't be the only one who likes driving like that. Well, minus the phone.

    Trackhawk is dead no more better grab one while you can

    That's what I use to go around curves. Saves wear and tear on the steering components, but does decrease mileage a bit. Especially rear tire mileage.

    Trackhawk is dead no more better grab one while you can

    Hmm, I'm still in break-in hell and haven't been able to do much more than 85 mph, and certainly no full throttle fun, but the Lie-O-Meter claims 14.7 mpg now. It'll need fuel real soon, so then I'll have an actual mpg figure. The one thing that surely hurts mileage is the low gearing. It feels...

    Trackhawk is dead no more better grab one while you can

    If the looks are more important than the performance, why don't we all drive V6 Challengers and Chargers? Besides, putting a set of those huge Hellcat logo stickers on the sides should take care of the "stands out" part. For cheap. I guess we have two completely different takes on this. On one...

    Trackhawk is dead no more better grab one while you can

    In our case, a first time Mopar owner (Redeye) is now about to trade in her '18 Porsche Macan Turbo for a Trackhawk. Why? She likes the larger cargo capacity, but the main reason is the Hellcat engine.She wouldn't give a Grand Cherokee a second thought if it wasn't for that engine. Atypical...

    Trackhawk is dead no more better grab one while you can

    This thread may just have cemented the deal. After me getting a Trackhawk, my girlfriend has been wanting to order one, too. Why do I like it? Because I can drive it when I can't drive the 'Cat. Another huge plus is that it looks (almost) like any other Grand Cherokee. Especially after removing...

    How would I convince the wife I need a Red Eye?

    Hmm. My wife left when she realized that the garage I was having built was going to be larger than the house.

    How would I convince the wife I need a Red Eye?

    It has happened a couple of times, but the funniest was when I sold a vehicle (maybe six months after buying it) and that was the first time my girlfriend noticed it. Always parked in plain sight, too. In all fairness, that one was camo. On the other hand, the other five I still have are OD...
