Did you put in an early-bird order for a 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat? Has your delivery date been mysteriously pushed back over and more than with nary an explanation? The dilemma could be a lack of optional satin-black hoods, according to a forum thread on Hellcat.org.Forum members on Hellcat.org have been anxiously tracking every single step in the process that will hopefully finish with a 707-horsepower behemoth landing like 2 tons of freedom in their driveways. A quantity of them, all of whom opted for satin-black hoods, have had their orders delayed with little or no explanation. Some have even been contacted by their dealerships, saying that delivery would be delayed till as late as February 2015 unless they switched their order to a body-colour hood.
If that is the case, it’s a shame—the only issue meaner than a brutal muscle vehicle packing much more than 700 tire-obliterating horsepower is a single with the all-business look of a satin-black hood. And if you are ponying up to be 1 of the very first fortunate dogs to acquire a Hellcat, it need to be a Hellcat the way you want it.
Then once again, it is not like this imply machine wants any more attitude. We’ve reached out to people at Dodge to see what’s going on, and we’ll update if we hear something back.
