oh yes different reasons, same out come. I could build a few Hellcats that would be faster for less money then what will be asked. 1 dealership wants $400k for a Black Ghost, this will be more

"Event marks the end of one era — the last of the Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger in their current HEMI®-engine-powered forms"

:unsure:

Some type of doublespeak going on here, so they have an out when they realize they've misjudged the EV market demand.

Surprise!, limited all new "First Edition Hemi's ... "

These 2023 cars will be for a very few individuals. As far as I’m concerned 2022 was the last model year for the masses. I will never own an ev. I have been a Mopar fanatic for sixty years and now it’s over. Fuck Dodge and fuck Stellantis. Somewhere down the road you folks will realize what we have lost due to the pussification of the country.

With any luck the market will prove to them performance cars need to be offered on two flavors. I have no problem with them adding power up front with electric if done right. Only if they put good ICE power to the back and doesn’t loose the connection and driving experience we all enjoy. Hope your right and they have a way out, to back pedal and offer it up.

With all due respect...I 'm sure there are many of us on here that don't have to go down any road to figure that out...what's alarming is those on here that don't agree with you..and don't see it as problematic...and trust me...we got em here

I will continue to enjoy what I have of MOPAR be it the RE, or 60s cars. Hope we don’t have another 30 year drought I won’t be around for it. So I will enjoy what I have.

Very, very Grateful and thankful for what I have. Busted my ass for it all just like you and others here. Doesn’t mean I have to like the direction we are going. It dose piss me off that the small batch of #7 to made, (shit sounds like a special blend from
Jack Daniele’s) will go mostly to people that just want the flip profit or not enjoy it for what it is, put it in their living room on display. Yep I might even do that once I have sliding patio doors that open wide like a dealership, but sure as shit it would be driven enjoyed, appreciated.

I was looking at the order form for the COPO Camaro. There's a question in there that asks, are you going to race it or are you a collector. This is part of the decision process by Chevy before they will build 1 for you.

Dodge should do this but never will.

So, it took Dodge 115 or so years to make the ultimate muscle car. It took Tesla about 15 or so years before they came out with the Plaid, now Stellantis will build the fastest EV ever made at their first time at bat. No wonder why people believe in global warming, everybody is a winner, 146 genders, orange man bad, blah, blah, etc. After boomers, X, Y, Z, A, millennial, zinennial, will be Gen S, for “suckers”. Again, sometimes I’m glad I’m old.

Dodge didn't build muscle cars for all of those 60 years. In the 80s and 90s you may have had something from the 60s. In 2030 you could have something from the late 2000 teens or early 20s. None of us are happy they are ending but that doesn't mean we still can't have something to enjoy

True. There was ebb and flow in the production of high performance cars from Mopar over the years. In those times, like now, it was caused primarily by government regulation of the auto industry. Ie: from 1972 till the early 2000s. Most of the manufacturers by then figured out how to build ultra high performance cars and still meet the stringent environmental standards. 1971Demon and I and a few other older folks here were fortunate enough to have lived through both muscle car eras. My first new car was a 1968 Dart two door post with a 383 and four speed. A year after my army discharge.
Every once in a while I need to vent my frustration about the current situation. I wonder what the Dodge brothers would do in these circumstances. Stellantis, being a European company, has no idea how we as "muscle car" diehards feel about their total surrender to the evironmentalists.
Ford and Chevy are carrying on somewhat with V8 ICE engines and the super cars will be around with high performance cars. In my opinion Dodge/Stellantis threw in the towel.
I will certainly enjoy my Hellcat and am looking for a 1970 Challenger R/T 440 six pack with a four speed. I paid $3966 for my first one new. Probably will pay a little more than that today.
