I would just buy the Hellcat.
Can always drive with the black key to limit to 500 hp if you truly wanted to.
But c'mon...
The 392 SRT's got into the low 80's fully loaded, base was 67k.
The trackhawk is 86k msrp, or it was in 18.
From Jeep's perspective, and extra 232 hp, stronger transmission and beefier driveline for an extra 19k isn't that crazy.
IMO the price was right, as it was set as the American counterpart, HP wise, to the German Performance SUVs.
Faster and cheaper but the tradeoff was the interior and qc/qa.

Hellcat, Klaus. Gimme a shout when you get it. We’ll hook it up.
HC @Klaus... WTF is wrong with you? Going all Canada on us all of a sudden?
MOAR power is always the answer.

I guess I have the black key for when I am on my period.
Honestly the 5.7 that I drove impressed me. Hauled ass getting on the freeway, lit the tires up with TC off. Exhaust sounded GREAT for a stocker. I looked up the specs and was surprised how slow they are (~13.5) - it felt faster.

I had an R/T Challenger as a rental for work while traveling about a year ago. Ill agree that trans was soooooo fun to drive. Interior was nice and the car carried its weight very well. Didnt feel like it was over 4k lbs.
Opposite of you though, I thought the 5.7 was a little under-powered.
Idk Dom, my old lady’s Durango with the 5.7 RIPS. She loves it.
Of course she’s never had anything fast to compare to.....
hahahahaha

Almost bought a Challenger 392 this last weekend, decided the engine was just to limited, if I wanted to turn it up down the line. There are some smoking deals with the rebates they have on them now.
There was a Hellcat with auto trans used not far away. It was a grey car they wrapped blue. Mildly tempting, but man is that grey a butt ugly color.
HELLCAT DOOOOOD
flames are the cure for that sir.
jk jk

i suppose the guy bought it because that was the only color he could buy and then wrapped it to hide the ugly!
Was it Destroyer Grey?
If it was, that's an awesome looking color on that car, especially with the dual carbon fiber stripes.
Black accents with red highlights looks absolutely SIIIICCCCKKKKK on a well done grey.
I'll agree with that!
I have seen a couple that are cheap but have weird graphics on them. Is it possible to peel these off?
I've seen them too. Do not like. lol
I think most of them are vinyl.
Have seen a few that had the demon graphic, kinda in your face, but depending on color some haven't looked half bad.
