I'm weighing the thought of my next purchase in the near future. I've always wanted a 30th since I saw it previewed coming new and a definite for my wish list but the thought of a Hellcat Challenger is very difficult to overcome. Just throwing this thought out there for opinions

Anybody with the money can go to the dealer and buy a Hellcat.
You have to find a 30th anniversary TA. Plus, you've always wanted one. Easy decision in my opinion. |

Yea I think that is how I'm feeling about it also..... They still build Cats and will for a while, used ones will continue to drop in price and make it more affordable in the future. |

Hellcats are cool, but they're fairly common around here, I no longer "snap my neck" when one goes by. I'd go for what you've always wanted. In my case that'd be a Super Snake, but it'll never happen.

Hellcat all the way. Go to a dealer and sit in one. You'll be amazed, and I imagine you'll soon forget about owning a 4th gen.
They're really apples to oranges, but since that's the choices, to me there's no question to which one I'd take.

the 30th is the white with blue striped car;
with the gorgeous blue anodized wheels? for me, at face value, that's an easy one - the Trans Am... but to be more realistic, it comes down to something much more practical; Are you able to find the right car, in the right condition? Hellcats are cool, but I like actual special packages; The Challenger T/A (based on either the R/T or SRT) is a really neat package... I also liked the very limited SRT 'core' that I think most people today have forgotten about...

I mean I really like 4th gen TAs and all but...... 700+ horsepower. If the finances to you are all the same there is no way I opt to ride a horse when I can afford a dragon.

I'd love to get a Sublime green Hellcat someday. They only made that color in 2015 though.

lol interesting but that I could never afford.
I would be looking at a 2016 as I couldn't afford a brand new Cat either. The Hellcat would cost at least double the 30th also. I want a nice kept driver that I wouldn't be afraid to drive not a low mile museum piece. If I go 30th I'd keep my R/T, go Hellcat and sell the R/T. As stated 700 + HP with all the creature comforts, adjustable suspension and extras etc has to be incredible! As some of you know |

Hell cats are so out! Demon is the only way to go if you’re going to do it, do it BIG!

If you want a head rush, get a Jeep Trackhawk.

Everything being equal between the two I would get the dodge, that is if I liked them. Its a new car compared to an old one that is prone to have some kind of problems. I have gone to the dark side and if I could afford modern muscle I would opt for a mustang super snake over a dodge any day.
