Order banks opened for Challenger 50 stock and special orders today. I have 11 in allocation, want to do it right. If you were going to build them, what would you want?

GOLD RUSH(Limited Edition), SINAMON STICK, HELLRAISIN, FROSTBITE, F8, TORRED AND GO MANGO are the color choices....

GT RWD, R/T, SCAT PACK AND SCAT PACK WIDEBODY are the trims.

I almost think I should do 5 scats and 5 widebody and maybe one R/T, loaded up with HK, Nav, and roof. I don't think base is the way to go.

Looking for some advice! How would you build it?

Erica, I believe most people on here are "already" disappointed with the Challenger 50. We were hoping for something really cool like a 426 option. Instead Dodge drops a turd on the desk and walks out. After the Power Dollars on the Redeye, it will be hard for many folks to step down to a Challenger 50. Having said that, there will be those that want the heritage....meaning stick car with the high impact colors. But as always, you will have your Black automatic guys too. Good Luck! You will be seeing me in the near future...but it will not be to buy one of these Challenger 50's.

Ditto what the last 2 said, especially Daman98. There will be buyers for these, but I honestly don't think they'll be your raving throng of gearheads like on this forum and the other. I don't think we can see people "fighting" over these as a gotta have. Because of that, it leaves the selection of hot specs too ambiguous.

From experience on the forum side viewing past dealer volume buys (Trackhawks, Hellcats, Vettes, etc.), sunroofs really aren't a desired option by most. Second, base cars may seem like a good idea and you may hear people say they want one, but the majority don't want a truly "base" car with no options. Someone usually wants at least something that isn't bare bones whether it be seat options, radio/nav, wheels, stripes, safety equipment, etc. Third, loaded cars built by dealers to pull the most profit aren't great either. Like base cars, most don't want every option (cough-manydealerswhoordered2018Trackhawks-cough).

I would definitely advise to order (1) each of the two cars in the media release, exactly as they are portrayed in the photos. These are what invoked the initial impressions by potential buyers that make them like it and want it, they know what they are going to get visually.

If I were to order one it would be a Scat Pack w/b in Gold Rush followed by Sinamon Stick. Nav is a neutral, sunroof a deal killer.

Skip the sunroof on a few. I bought my 1320 at your dealership when they first came in, and I never would've gotten a sunroof if I could've ordered a 1320 for the same deal I purchased off the lot. And if for some reason, you get some one to purchase a 50 and they want you to swap out the wheels for something custom.....I'd be interested in buying the wheels :)

Thanks all, very helpful. Order bank had IT issues for most of the day on our end so I'm just now getting around to the orders. I'm going to order a couple without sunroof and just nav and HK. HK seems to be something we missed the boat on for the Hellcats.

I love the HK in the Hellcat. Whatever car I buy in the future must have the best factory stereo available for that model

I'm actually pretty surprised by the Alpine in my 1320. It sounds pretty good, and a helluva lot better than those Infinity ones that were in my Ram trucks.

The Alpine in our 2018 Jeep GC sounds really good as well. I wonder if the 1320 has the same speaker setup?

I wouldn't be surprised if it used the same speakers....or at least some of them. I think it only has 6.

Hey Koons I’m a local and I know Jim Delagado personally and I buy cars from all your Koons stores. Here is an idea you should have access to Dodge 2019 orders with exact specs. I would use this as an example order for the 50th. Just an idea since it’s a so called unique lol badged car so I would do my research first before ordering a bunch.

Good luck. Hope that Hemi Jeep is what you are looking for! I don’t know what radio’s We’re available in the 2013’s?

It's got the stereo with nav and the 9 speakers with subwoofer in it. It's Limited with the Luxury Group 2 that adds the cooled seats, power liftgate, and the heated wheel. It's down to between a Hemi Jeep and a Highlander. I think the Hemi Jeep will be more my style than the Highlander :)

Sounds like a nice one! It should have the 2 position memory driver seat and power driver and passenger seat.

Yep, has both of those. Whoever owned it before took it to the selling dealer for all the maintenance. Oil changes every 3-4k miles. It really looks good in the pics both interior and exterior. I'm hoping it looks as good in person given the long drive I'm taking. I've got two others to look at if this one falls through. The one I was watching at Safford sold.

You know we do GC group buy at 7% below invoice less rebate on the new ones :)
