Hellcat JGC: confirmed [apparently]

[SlateEd]

I'll be in the same mode with our 2014. Maybe I can talk Courtney into a 2014? Isn't that too much of an increase in HP for her? (soooo doubting this ploy will work)

:-) Might be a tough sell Scott.

At the 2013 reveal party, Ralph gave her a hug and said I love your jeep, that was the real "hot rod" one... I think that's burned in her memory. And when the topic of Hellcat Jeep comes up she says "that's the only one I would give up my 09 for...."

Speaking of your 2014 - are you coming to the AUTOCROSS AT LIME ROCK JULY 11.....?? #shamelessplug

I won't run, but if I can find the time and it's a nice day, I'd like to make the drive.

I think owning one will make my weenie bigger. It will probably come with the two fob sysem, wouldn't you think? I have no doubt in my mind that it will sell. I think it will sell to the same people who buy the srt jeeps now. It's just a beefed up version of them. Pretty cool. Though how does that power translate to the snow? Or right now, one can tow a little with the SRT jeeps right? Would the hellcat motor lend itself to towing?

Maybe it will come with 3 keys. A white key for winter. Either way, it will be a hot ticket. My ole 06' Cayenne Turbo S will be out if they make this vehicle.

Cayenne turbo is a fun car. But I could see why you would want to make the change.

Hoping for a Durango Hellcat. The Durango is a sexy vehicle and I wish there were more buyers for them!

Carlisle is in 3 weeks. Last year, they unveiled the Hellcat Challenger. So this year, I expect the big unveil to be the Jeep Hellcat, along with the ACR of course. Should be cool to see!

It has been a good truck! Bought it used in 2008 with 30k miles on it. Came certified pre-owned with 7 yr, 100k mile bumper to bumper factory warranty. Original MSRP was $136k, I bought used from Porsche for $62k during Global financial meltdown.

It is almost 10 years old now and I have 118k miles on it. Been rock solid and just a great safe truck. Really very few issues except Porsche Cayenne specifics but when it does, always $1k or $3k to fix so with what they are worth now used, it is coming to a tipping point at some point. This new Jeep Hellcat/Trackhawk 707 will be the excuse to change out. Even if they derate it to say 650hp, it will still be worth it.

Wife's truck is a 2004 Cayenne Turbo which we bought certified pre-owned in Spring of 2005. Was only 9 months old with 3,300 miles on it. Original MSRP was $110k and we bought it for $78k at the time. Has 75k miles on it now. Again has been very solid. Waiting for a Tesla Model X to come out and a couple of years to work out launch issues for a new model entry then seriously consider it. That is the one she wants.

Crazy but as much as I love the new GEN V Viper, it is the last thing I need at this point in time for the 5% I would drive it against all my driving time and a growing family.

With where the government regs are going, this will be the last hurrah for the internal combustion motor with new cars between now and 2020. After that, it will be interesting but not looking forward to it.

Cayenne turbo is a fun car. But I could see why you would want to make the change.

I saw and got in the the JGC Trackhawk yesterday at the FCA dealer show. This thing is going to be INSANE. I tried to pop the hood but they had it disabled. Going to be a 2017.

There is a Durango SRT coming, not a Hellcat. Saw it yesterday as well.

[Viper Specialty]

I got confirmation of the same from a VERY reliable source a while back. I cannot wait to see this thing.

I want to get one of these. I can't think of anything better for a fun daily driver that I could also tow a boat with.

It's been their worst kept secret, however it's been hard waiting for the formal announcement... Finally. I've been standing in line awaiting the announcement, now I have to wait for orders to begin. I just can't wait. I've gotten and traded my Jeep SRT every 2 years for the last 3 I've owned - because they only got better with leaps and bounds - and the hellcat will be the 4th. This will be a badass car, the type we enjoy seeing our manufacturer build! Some early rumormills had the Jeep HC at less than 3.0sec 0-60. FCA says likely 3.5 (freaking not bad). Loving it. I'm hoping the 2017 model year brings with it even more enhancements in addition to power (though the present jeeps are great here as well).

[Destrukt]

I would buy this as my daily, since I don't drive too far for work. THIS would be perfect for loading up groceries, need to get home as fast as possible since I can't let the ice cream melt while in the car!

No idea if this is legit.

No it isn't. That's been around for a while. It's a jeep with a body kit I believe. Title is wrong on the video. I thought it was real the first time I saw it too.

Figured. Alex, please hold a place in line for me behind you.

I'm counting the days....
