Fuk those greedy ass stealerships and their stupid ADMs.

Im more than happy with my beautiful black mirror shiny WB Hellcat Challenger 717 HP with Ceramic Coat.

And I’ll even have a bigger hard on with a pulley, injectors, dyno tune, unlocked computer, exhaust, rear tires, etc…that will add around 160 more HP.

The ADM's are out of hand and coordinated. I wrote a script to messaged well over a thousand dealers. 9am Tuesday it didn't get bad with a bunch I could find in the 10-30k ADM range. But once those owners in Vegas woke up, 50k-200k flood gates opened.

One dealer I was working with for a buddy I found a 15k ADM deal. Salesman had all the info, license, card number and was getting ready to take the deposit. Salesman messages back a few minutes later and was like the GM said the car is now 50k over because of the volume of calls coming in for it. Found some others but this roll out is crazy

There is always strength in numbers and if no one would order one it would change. As we know there are some people with enough money that they would pay anything to get one. Could enough people go straight to dodge and and see if they could do this another way? Orders don't start until next week. Second would be everyone to send them the name of the dealer and how much adm they are adding. Dodge may not care but there is enough people to at least get them to listen.

I have Tim Kuniskis’ email address. I don’t want to piss him off, but I’m going to think about sending him a summary of the ADMs I experienced when calling at least 30 dealerships starting early Tuesday morning.

Anyone that thinks I’m not 100% in the capitalist camp is sorely mistaken. There is a certain amount of fairness involved in supporting loyal customers. If I’d have gouged my engineering firm’s clients when they had an emergency problem I’d have gotten the boot as soon as they could find another company. In fact, I don’t have a problem with ADMs in general for special cars, but what’s happening is way out of hand. I wonder why Ford GTs, Ferrari and Porsche amongst a few others give loyal customers first opportunity. It’s not exorbitantly fatten their dealer’s wallets. Loyal customers get rewarded.

To some extent yes, but those engine internals are nothing to ignore.
Still no official spec sheet it all seems like voodo at the moment. “Stronger” means crap. Need specs.

Do it! I could probably look him up in the directory.
I'm waiting on a couple dealers to call me back with what their ADM is going to be, GMs are out until Friday.

Dealers backing out on their word and/or agreements is problematic at best.
Like guys that order cars from three dealers to be assured of getting one?

There apparently was a dealer conference in Vegas. Some of my follow-ups said the same. Good luck. I’ve been calling for some friends and it’s getting crazier by the day.

It’s getting crazier. On behalf of a couple of friends, I’ve been following up with several dealers that I contacted on Tuesday to see if previously quoted $50k ADM cars are still available. One dealer sold all of their’s same day (Tuesday). One is taking bids with no end day/time and the current bid is $155k ADM. Another is taking a list for bid calling but don’t know when they’ll start the bidding.

It looks like to me that Dodge is just posturing about the ADMs.

I don't think that they really care because it creates more hype and it helps the dealer network financially with the dark days ahead.

This will help clear the SXT Challengers off the lots for people who can't afford the big boy.

All those people are trying to get a spot correct? If the car isn't ordered it really isn't their's yet.

Anyone have a Redline Red Dodge Demon?
Those got built first markup or no markup.
Then the Plum Crazy, B5, F8, and Indigo were late availability. Again, if you got one at MSRP, you still needed to wait until March of 2018 to get a PCP or B5 car.

its all talk from Timmy and nothing more.

Also, the SRT EV will run faster than 8.91, i'd put money on it. The Maserati Folgore supposedly has 1200-1300hp and will share the same chassis as the new Charger Banshee

Because Stellantis is stopping selling Rams and Jeeps too?

Dealers won't miss Dodge when its dead and gone. Same with Chrysler.
