I have one in at Chapman
Still nothing

I check in once a month to see if there has been progress.
It will show up very quickly and boom it's being built.

@DavidKFla I think most of your scenarios sound like wins regardless of how you end up sorting your rides. A drag truck and HC widebody Charger as the 2 in your garage, well what else does a guy really need? As far as constantly worrying about theft and living in that state of fear, just keep your shit insured, be smart and live life. What else can you do?

Possibly.
Not sure I care much anymore.

The Demon 170 shit just killed it for me but I threw my hat into the ring anyway.
2 dealers that actually have allocations were either a markup or didn't feel like they needed my business.

It would be cool because its manual poverty pack car (as in most options i wanted were unavailable anyway).
We will see. Probably showup at new years LOL

I think you are mistaken. A f150 with drag radials is going to get a lot of attention especially if its a single cab and lowered.
There is one here in the high 10s with a blower and like you said, it gets attention

It's either the F150 or the Charger. Not both. We have a Tundra that's the daily driver and I don't want to take care of or pay the insurance and maintenance costs anymore.

Is it a sleeper or a wild build?

Is it still covered on warranty? Is the blower factory stock? Does it have drag radials on it? DavidK, if you want a 10 second truck with sticky tires that gets attention, you probably should just keep what you have? If you want a nice Charger to race that doesn’t need any work at the track, consider a Scat Pack with Summer performance tires. It’s a 12 second car but potentially a lot of fun and a lot less to worry about than a HC

I don't know the whole combo but think it was standard cab and box so basically bought to go fast. May just be a blower and tuned

I did want a Super Bee in PCP but dealers want 90k for it.
Stopped chasing it as it was causing blood pressure spikes. Figure I can get one in a couple of years at a nice discount.

Since you already have the Tundra I would choose the Charger. It’s one of the best all around cars on the road period. Can always throw some extra hp at it if you get bored.

I was trying to buy a narrow body in B5. Not paying stupid money. A friend just got one. I think it was $5K over.

But that B5 blue widebody will be stunning. So much more car that that purple super bee which is only a 392 and almost the same price!!! Red 2018 can still get great resale or trade in value I assume.

The best "sticker" car they did IMO.
Should have thrown the Demon engine with 840 tune etc and called it the King Daytona but whatever.
I think Dodge was just trying to empty the parts bins at this point.
