I'm thinking we won't see them till 2025.

And by see them, I mean at the dealership for sale.

If there were one across the street now, I'd still be sitting here.

I don't think that it matters when they show up since the majority of them are just going to sit there.

I’m going to assume most of you feel similar. Even though I missed the Muscle Car Era, I still could have bought them used in the late 70’s and early 80’s, but I was never in a position to both afford one, AND afford a reliable daily driver to use for work AND have a place to safely store and work on it, not to mention the extra expense of maintenance and insurance.

The advent of the Hellcat was completely unexpected and beyond imagination! And when the stars aligned and I was able to buy that new HC and drive it home!!! That day was an unforgettable life experience. I’ll never forget the 3hr drive home, one spot going through construction a hard hatted worker said “WHOA!” when saw the cat badge on the fender. Later going up an entrance ramp under (more) construction a cop said “Nice car!”. Absolutely unforgettable thrill!

These are not just cars, they are a majestic pinnacle of the entire muscle car concept. A concept I admired and longed for since 1970, but only recently have realized. The timing was perfect, but now it’s gone. I have mine, and I get a thrill every time I walk by it in the garage. I am extremely lucky for all this to have happened, like I said, the stars aligned.

As for the Charger EV, it excites me almost as much as a sale on brussel sprouts.

In the current political environment Dodge had no choice but to go this way so I don't blame them for doing it. Should something happen to my 2015 HC, I will probably just buy a new truck and finish restoring or buy a restored late '60s muscle car for pleasure driving.

If something happens to my 15 HC, Im looking at a caged dart and a 572 with the nastiest cam

A sale you say? I like Brussel sprouts!

I just want something fast and electric that isnt a Tesla..... I dont give two shits if it meets the muscle car criteria or not. I just want a decent looking EV that doesnt look like a car with Down syndrome. Thats what I see when I think of the Tesla Model X smh.

Or a Plaid that looks like a Chevy Lumina smh.

Im retired, im drive a LOT. I need something with free gas and this seems to be my ONLY other option right now thats reasonably affordable. The Rivian is more than the Tesla.
