What kind of gas did you think it would take?
The kind that comes from indigestion?
..but wanted to ensure I got the opportunity to get one
Why wouldnā€™t you? When the price tag is revealed, I doubt the mass public will be knocking down the dealershipā€™s doors to try to secure a unit. I also doubt this HEMI will be a limited production run model.

I just spoke with another local dealer, and they told me that they are not going to be doing any markups.

I bet you are wrong. Look at raptors, TRX, hellcats, demons...

If you want one right away you better get in line right away. Otherwise be prepared to wait and or pay well over msrp

All gonna depend on MSRP. 70-75k? Some will have it for sure. 80-90? More scarce at that point. I canceled my bronco reservation for my ecodiesel. Now Iā€™m wishing Iā€™d have waited lol šŸ™„ not thatā€™s Iā€™d want a $1200 a month note.

I LOVE your sense of urgency. While I donā€™t blame you, the demand seems over inflated and artificial. Remember, we are a small niche of enthusiasts, not the majority.

Also, there are still plenty of those models you mentioned on dealer lots. The dealer wants to sell them as much as people want to buy them. I have never paid over sticker for any of my vehicles and Iā€™m not about to start now.

And as someone mentioned earlier, let other people be the first year beta testers.

Yeah, I think they have to nail the pricing here. Problem for them (and this) is the Rubi can already get kinda pricey--without a V8!

The timing is right for me. Iā€™m with you never paid over msrp and not gonna start now.

But...Iā€™ve also tried to get other enthusiast vehicles at launch and failed. So hereā€™s hoping!

This thing will be a beast on desert runs....not so sure about rock crawling with 3.73 gearing and 2.73 transfer case. Will have plenty of power but can it be controlled.

D44s will hold until using all of that power in rough conditions.... How can a 2ā€ lift only have 10.3ā€ of clearance. My 2ā€ lift with 315/70s and Artec skids is good for 14+ā€. Even with 35ā€™s it would only have 10.9ā€ of clearance. That seems like a problem...might save me some money since I really need an excuse not to buy the 392.šŸ˜¬šŸ˜¬.

Iā€™m not defending their decision to go with those ratios (itā€™s not what I wanted), but I think this is why they mentioned that the 392 has the ability to lock the torque converter on demand - to help with modulation. Of course, I have no idea how effective this is.

Because they are measuring clearance under the axle. Assuming no changes to the axle, the only way to increase this clearance is with bigger tires. Lift has nothing to do with it.

I am holding out for a hellcat with a 4 spd manual.

I need a manual. I also need more than 20.5g gas in a 392, I promise.

In the meantime, I will keep my 20 jlur 6cyl manual.

But for those that want one, more power to ya!

I never thought the 392 would happen in a production Wrangler, let alone a Hellcat, but 2020 isn't finished shocking the shit out of everyone.
