I have to eat some crow

Last summer I was adamant that I would not pay 5k over sticker for a GT350 and I would wait until I could find one for sticker. Well the reviews are trickling out along with videos and dammit I gave in. I just placed an order for a 900A (non-R) with the track pack in Shadow Black with no stripes. The only other option was the car cover. This particular video cost me $5,000 to watch. But at least it means I'll get one much sooner!

About 2 months ago I traded my 13 Raptor in on a new 15 Challenger SRT 392. I'm so underwhelmed by the car that I'm going to trade it on the GT350 and drive my 2001 F150 as my daily driver. So the GT350 will be joining my 12 Boss 302 Laguna Seca in the garage!

$5K over isn't too bad. I know that people are paying much more.

Went and signed the paperwork and gave them the deposit today. Also had a change of heart and went with Race Red with White Stripes. Anyone have any clue how long the wait is going to be at this point?

Entirely dependent on what quarter your allocation is for. It's about 2 months from getting a VIN though I'd believe at this point now that they're shipping but they really haven't been long enough to get a good idea.

Have your sales person contact the District Manager for your area. They are probably talking to them frequently over other business anyway. The District Manager is the person that controls the build schedule for the allocations for all of the dealers in your area.

I was fortunate enough to get mine for $1 UNDER msrp, but that said, the car is worth every bit of 5k over. You will enjoy it!

Thumbs up Sometimes you have to make choices

I have lost thousands of $$ because of timing of sales.
If I love a vehicle, I keep it for decades.
If not, it goes away (sometimes quickly).
Money aside, I think you have made a very good choice.
The Challenger SRT 392 is a powerful car, but can't compare to the GT350.
Good Luck
