I would be terrified to buy a used Track Hawk or SRT8 Grand Cherokee! Surely you've heard the term "rode hard and put away wet", well those things are the epitomy of that term, same with Hellcat anything for that matter.
As a non-offroader maybe I don't understand a HEMI in something that sits high and has a short wheelbase. I'm sure Jeeps with the old inline 6's had ZERO problems when going off-road

Maybe not ALL but the majority are as they should be. Yeah they're not off-roaders which makes it more weird but that's the market.
I just saw there's a V Escalade coming out soon, maybe a "Hot Rod" Lincoln is next

Re: RUBICON 392
A friend of mine had a Charger Hellcat, which was a really nice ride. I got in and was riding in it when the Hellcat are up and he said his was one. I said, no way. He rolled down the window and I heard the supercharger whine but I was still pretty incredulous since it was such a smooth, docile ride until he got on it. When I got out, I checked for badging and sure enough.
To say he got tired of ALL the times people would come up next to him on the highway and try to race, it would be an understatement. He sold it after 3 years with no real depreciation and bought a fully-loaded Ram truck. The car was also going to need quite a bit of suspension work since the exotic suspension had several pieces that were considered consumables. I think he said it would have been $4K to address.
So I’m one of those that couldn’t see buying a used Hellcat but besides the expense and poor gas mileage, I was really impressed by the Charger Hellcat. Good family sedan for a race car driver.

Re: RUBICON 392
I'd like to drive a Hellcat for an afternoon just to see what it's like I'm thinking you'd better be careful flooring it on the freeway @70 mph because even with fresh tires I bet it gets sideways
I know car prices are stupid right now but $75K for a Jeep and $86K for a lux Jeep, to start and it can go WELL OVER a $100K, I don't get it

There is an elderly lady near me that I’ve seen in her plum crazy charger hellcat. She has no issue letting the blower whine and exhaust sing. Hot rod granny.

Owning those types of vehicles and knowing alot of owners that’s not normally the case. Most who buy them take great mechanical care of them and most baby them. Some get on them but are treating these expensive beasts with kid gloves
