OK - Some of you know that I've been going on about this for months.
I ordered my Dodge Challenger last October. This was after waiting for about 4 years between the concept first being shown in Hemi Orange, and my chosen color, the classic Plum Crazy, becoming available.
I ordered the R/T Classic package, which comes with a 5.7 Liter Hemi, classic stripes and wheels, and scripted fender badge like the original Challenger. I ordered a 6 speed Manual, and nearly every available option for the car. It has 382 HP at the rear wheels, and 425 Lb. Ft. (575 Nm) of Torque.
My car was built on February 3rd, and then faced a quality control delay imposed by Fiat, and then a logistics delay, due to inclement weather and a lack of available railcars to bring it west.
After all that waiting, it went on a train on Tuesday, March 9th and was delivered to my dealer today.
I stopped on a parking lot that seemed to have a nice backdrop, and only managed a few pics from my Android Phone while it was still light, before making my drive home. So more pics to come, but here is the Purple Beast, in all its glory.
In case any of you were wondering, I've got the plates on order as well. Remember, the color is Plum Crazy. And here they are.
I'll be away for the weekend on a long trip, so can only promise that by next week, I'll have plenty more pictures to show everyone, including interior and underhood.
I might even take a quick video so you can hear how it sounds.
Hope you like it as much as I do.

. But pussyfooting style break in is antequated anyhow.... I kept away from the high revs but apart from that I gave it plenty horns! Didn't hurt the engine a bit, more likely the opposite 👍
