If you have what you’d consider your dream car, then why consider jumping ship? Putting all the future crap aside; as you don’t have to buy it.

Didn’t you already mention that your current car is already faster anyway? Blemishes can be fixed. A 2018 for all intents it’s a new car. And you have history with it. I dunno, I guess I sort of get attached to cars.

Dodge hasn't owned lambo in over 30 years so you would be buying a vw. Jimmy's girl likes those vw's

You are right my numerous head injury’s do call for an interesting life style 😂 good news if I sell something I forget all about it.

You are probably right. Me and this car have learned so much together.

I had a surprise today, an orange sport car was ahead of me, thought it was a C-8, turned out to be a McLaren. First I ever saw in person.

You can configure the orange one on their site.

I can imagine where you are you may not see very many cars like that. There was one that came to cars and coffee last year a few times and even saw one at the drag strip this year. He was not consistent on his runs but did post a 9.88

Good point here on a couple levels, I mean what would it actually cost now to replace what you have? Also thinking you can keep a new car blemish free, I mean we all think that, but then the real world steps in sometimes and sets us straight ;) Show me an un-blemished car and I'll call it undriven, and what's the point really then?

Good luck with whatever you end up doing!

Cars still listed but at this point I doubt it sells. I listed it for 69k which is way to high. But is a price where I'd just order a brand new one. But what ever happens I don't care.
I have spent sometime on the gt500 forum. I have got some pretty honest feedback on that route. The gt500 does not sound like it is the car for me. They all say the same thing. Amazing car, great track car and very well refined. But it doesn't have the brutality of the hellcat. Which is my absolute favorite part of any car. I'm just going to assume I'll end up keeping this car. I still have so much to accomplish with it.

I would like a couple Lamborghini tractors, that would be great. Also a Huracan evo awd, and Aventador spider. Will only be shopping for a Huracan evo though.

@vortecd has told me to stop telling everyone about them and no one will notice :) I bought the car used. Talked the guy down quite a bit because of such "blemishes"

One of the first things Jon says to me meeting him for the 1st time. "do you notice anything wrong with my car" I look it over a little and say "no" then he points out something on his roof. I say " I'm not tall enough to see the roof"

Your point on "the brutality" is the really real. I sold a 2016 Hellcat for what I thought was a dream car and ended up in my 2019 WBRE within a year. The car was a stunning Jaguar F Type R with a 550 hp supercharged V-8. Was a great ride...poppin' & crackling exhaust, AWD with heavy rear drive bias for great launches, beautiful lines and color. I wish I could have kept it and bought the Redeye but am retired now, it is one toy at a time. Actually, our daily is kind of a toy (I tell my wife it's her car) as it is a 2021 F Pace SVR with the same engine and same color as my F Type was :LOL:. Trading cars now has been great, but a story for another time...

What was missing in the F Type R is what was missing in a bunch of other performance cars I've owned (911 GTS, V-10 R8, AMG CLS63, last gen GT500, etc.)...the level of raw, brutal insanity. The Jag was much more engaging than other Euro cars I've owned but there is something about these Hellcats...they are insane! There is truly nothing else I've experienced since my heavily worked 1969 SS Camaro from back in the day that can compare.

Get 'em while the gettinz good. If you've got one, do what you can to keep her...unless getting a newer model :oops::eek:o_O (don't tell my wife of 20 years I said that).
