I'd say several. These aren't $160k cars. I'm finding quality issues with mine already.

2019 Hellcat Redeye
Agree. After going through it and bringing in for paint correction and Film protection I had time to better access actual build quality. I am aware Brampton was in a big time rush to compete last cars before permanent shutdown for retooling. I still think with the MSRP asking price on all models across the board it should have been higher. The profit margins clearly show more staff should have been placed on assembly line to reach the quality level aligned with price of cars.

Don‘t get me wrong I am grateful for what I have and a build date of Dec 11 suggests just getting under the wire. The quality issues have been ongoing. My 19 RE hade some minor issues albeit small, but QC should have caught them. I will keep both of these last ICE rides and be happy. I don’t see returning for the foreseeable future with the offerings lined up and the direction FCA is heading. Ball is in your court FCA to attract and to get most of the core base to return for future purchases.

I didn't add them all up but table napkin math suggests 66% of Demon 170 listings on BAT aren't reaching reserves and topping out at around $160K these days. Still too much IMO but way cheaper than a month ago.
I'm hopefully getting closer to one, at sticker I would drive that thing. If anything a few car shows, a few days at the track, it would be nice.

I'm probably gonna lose some money on my redeye though. I'll put it up for sale here soon, maybe one of you guys can enjoy it 😆

Fixed.

We already dumped the Challenger. It was a Stellantis.
Chargers are just built better 😁😁

Yep, I saw it. But it has taken me a while to stop laughing enough to be able to respond.

And in all fairness, if I were hauling passengers around for profit a Charger would be the better choice. Then, as soon as my shift ended, I'd be in a Challenger.

Both to get out of the work environment and to enjoy the superior design.
