2016 M6 TorRed Hellcat Challenger

Here's a pic from this morning after I brought her home. When I parked her she was at 630 miles and still had the plastic shipping covers on the floors and the touch screen. Not bad for a 2016. I also realized that I'm now the only person in my cul-de-sac that doesn't have a white, silver, or black car. And my next door neighbor is also starting to show car envy lol

Freaking beautiful Challenger!
Had a 16, same color and stripes.
Loved it.
Why my 19 is the same color.

Beauty!

They pull an all-nighter or something to remove the side decals and detail it?

Cucumbers work better. That will scare the women and stampede the cattle.

Thanks. I like the red a lot more than I thought I would. They didn't really have to pull an all nighter. I told the sales guy what I wanted and needed to make it work and he has the detail crew take off the decals and detail it before I started signing paperwork. Really it wouldn't have taken much. It was already damned near perfect. This dealer also stores all of their vehicles in their own parking garage instead of an open lot.

Awesome. So I assume you got them under 50K? With a warrantee that's really good.

Yeah got them down to just under $50k all said and done. I got lucky and did it on the last day of the month. Didn't even realize it, but they get more desperate to move cars then.

A member on the other forum was looking at that car and let overthinking get the best of him. Saw the residual codes from the battery swap and got freaked out. All the naysayer doomsday peanut gallery comments werent helping him either. People love to assume the worst SMH. A couple of us were trying to tell him to not overthink it or let Carfax be the bible of the car but he got sketched out and passed. Good for you for using common sense. Congrats.

Yeah and I read through that thread and looked for all those problems. Some people just over think things. Oh well. His loss. The only one still there was the tear in the hood liner. No idea why it is or what caused it, but I can live with that small imperfection. There is no pull or shaking at highway speeds. On the test drive there was a little but, but that was the road causing it not the car. Hell I let go of the wheel to check alignment at 70mph on the drive home and it tracked as straight as could be.
