[Markp]

Dodge celebrates 10 years of limited edition mopars but doesn't celebrate 50th anniversary of the Challenger. Pretty dumb.

So to be clear, the new "Warpspeed" wheels are the same as the original "Slingshots"??

Same slingshot design but wider and deeper for the WB. Take a look at the B5 2020 Charger in the original press release a couple of wks ago.
Im digging those.

To my understanding and the few info I was able to find, yes.

I wonder when the 2020 will be available to order as I just saw this in youtube, Power dollar rebates are now valid through 09/30.

Bienvenido mi amigo, good to have folks from everywhere here.

As for the wheels, the post directly above this with the widebody charger is what I was talking about with the 2015s but with a deeper dish. I actually like it, alot.

Wasn't the Charger now supposed to come with the two little snorkel holes in the grill? Maybe it dawned on them to put it behind the mesh? And where the hell is the redeye motor for the charger?

Merci mon ami, gracias por la bienvenida. I’m actually french but I live in Mexico, thank you for the welcoming! I love them too, i really don’t like the devils and definitely want a WB so it’s good news to me, unless the version they sell in Mexico comes with the other wheels (in Mexico we don’t have all the options you have, they sell one combination of options, one interior color and that’s it. For 2019 demonic red interior doesn’t exist in Mexico and I love it ).

Hey guys we have nothing to worry about if they're celebrating a 50th anniversary 69 charger with a 2020 then all we have to do is wait for 2021 to celebrate 50 years of a 70 Challenger. Is it my or their math that's off. Maybe it's new math lol

 

[Magnified]

new math... best response

I still think we're getting too far ahead of Dodge's announcement. They have not said they WON'T build a 50th anniversary and they haven't said they WILL. They haven't even accepted orders for 2020. Look how long they waited to anounce the '19 MOPAR Edition. The anniversary edition would likely be introduced later in the '20 model year, to milk a few more sales of Challengers before the end of the year. I personally think they'll announce it sometime this spring, in numbered, limited quantity.

They got rid of the snorkel holes. 1 year only thing I guess. They have gone this new WB look and changed the front bumper (they have an air duct) in middle and top of the bumper now instead. Good question on the RE Charger. Nothing has been announced for it as of yet. Likely going to be a next 2021 RE Charger when it comes out. Possibly a mid year thing, but as of right now the Charger doesn't get the demon engine.

Unless there is something coming later in the year.

OK so my newest question is when the hell is the build & price feature going to be available on their website for 2020 MY. Last year I think it wasn't even out until December or January for 2019....so maybe we'll have this one by....March? lol

If the 426 was in fact still coming, wouldn't make sense to drop it with the refresh?

But we haven't seen any mules in disguise either.

I think its sticker packages from here on out. They better keep those rebate programs going because this car is about to be old news real quick. (if its not already)

When FCA announced the 2019 model year last September, they never said anything about the Mopar '19 numbered special edition that was just announced. They always have a new trick up their sleeve to keep the interest and momentum moving forward. I think everyone needs to take a chill pill, relax a bit, and sit back for a while. Dodge is not going to waste the opportunity for a 50th anniversary edition Challenger. Even if it is just a badge and sticker package, they will certainly do something. They just aren't ready to announce it yet. Maybe they are waiting for one of the big car shows (LA, NYC, Detroit, Phila, etc), or maybe they are waiting for EPA certification for a street version of the 426. Maybe they are just watching the boards and laughing at us as we lose out minds waiting and guessing and bitching. They probably had to release some type of 2020 information on September 1st due to a corporate/stockholder/business reason. There's a reason production runs to November, and we just don't know what that reason is yet. In the mean time, if you are in need of a new car, go buy one today, enjoy it, love life, and have fun. If you can wait for a new car, sit back and wait. Do I want a 2020 50th anniversary special to go with my 1970 Plum Crazy R/T? You bet your bippy I do. But we're just going to have to wait a little while longer. Don't give up, something big is brewing.

Or... they are waiting until 2024 to do a 50th anniversary edition of the end of the Challenger. Just like the 1974 car, the anniversary car will be under powered with an ugly front end and a lack of options and special features.

They're finally dumping the NAG1 5 speed from Charger Pursuit and giving it the 8 speed. However, they're only offering V6 with 8 speed and Hemi AWD with 8 speed. No Hemi 8 speed RWD (!!!) They're out of their freaking minds!!!!!! Sorry for the rant, but this REALLY disappoints me...

 

[SNeal5966]

I want the new Frostbite color, and I noticed that it says late availability for that color....anyone have any idea what that means for timing? Will that color even be available for order when banks open or will I have to wait for that color just to get my order in?

Been seeing that new 196 MPH top speed for the Charger WB. Disappointing, considering the 204.5 of the "regular" Charger HC. That extra width has a big aerodynamic price when you're getting into the high end. Not the end of the world (and who really operates in that area regularly anyway) but also disappointed because I'm not sure the flares will accommodate 345s which is what is really needed in the rear (in my opinion)
