blogentry-133713-0-74204500-1426559206_thumb.jpgDodge has paused the order taking for the Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcat so that it can honor existing orders for the muscle cars in its own home country. According to Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) which issued the statement, it is not sure when it will resume taking orders but rumors online suggest it will resume only in August.

 

blogentry-133713-0-77133000-1426560157_thumb.jpgThis is because demand for its 707bhp high performance models haven been too overwhelmingly good and the limited supply has frustrated both dealers and buyers. FCA has even gone to accused some of the dealers for marking up the retail price by a big margin and taking orders that they will may not be able to fulfill.

 

blogentry-133713-0-05508300-1426560125_thumb.jpgTill now, more than 2,200 Hellcats have been delivered. Since September, Dodge has received more than 9,000 orders which is double the annual sales planned by FCA.

Time to buy shares in Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. How many car companies can say we need to stop taking orders as there are too many customers that want to buy. :)

Sigh, if only Chrysler makes a RHD Challenger and Charger Hellcat.

 

Seriously to sinkies whose mindset is stuck with exotic Europeans machinery, you need to test out the Challenger Hellcat and tell me if your Porsche and Lambo still makes sense or not.

 

Rem, both the Hellcats can be as mild mannered as your B&B sedan. And yes both are designed to handle hot weather and bad traffic jams, and they will do your weekly supermarket shopping and dropping kids off to sch just fine.

 

And both can handle ultra long distance driving without breaking a sweat..

 

But when you put the foot down, all the Euro exotic machines just stand one side la... LOL.

 

At a fraction of the cost only

    Are forums outdated? I try to find out by asking AI

    Is your boss asking you to explore and learn how to use AI to improve the quality and efficiency of your work? Yup, you aren't the only one in that boat.  Whilst exploring new AI tools, I figured: Why not use it to answer some burning questions that I have? This time, it was about whether forums are outdated. Yes, forums like this one that we are on. I remember how before social media became popular, and before apps like Carousell existed, forums were where I chatted with others t

    The Music that Shaped Me, Pt. 2

    Note: If you’ve stumbled onto this post without any context, do read Pt. 1 here first! It is said that the average person’s music taste starts to solidify early on in their adult lives, and by their early 30s they will begin to say things like “Music was better in my day”, “>insert your favourite artist or genre< is not real music”, something to that effect. Of course, I am speaking generally. With four more years to go till I hit 30, I’d like to think I try to expand my tastes o
