With a starting MSRP of $63,995 excluding the sales tax, title and registration fees, most of us can agree that the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat isn’t cheap. It’s only when you put into perspective what kind of get-up-and-go you get for the money when the hellish four-door sedan starts to make sense, buck for buck.
As I’m sure most of you already know, a supercharged HEMI that churns out a behemoth 707 horsepower & 650 lb-ft (881 Nm) isn’t the kind of engine a company can produce on a budget. Cost-cutting isn’t in the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat’s nature. After all, we are dealing with the most powerful sedan ever made if we don’t count the all-electric Tesla Model S P85D too.
The truth of the matters is this: every single one of us who puts a hefty deposit on a Hellcat expect the car to be as tight as a drum from the get-go. To this moment, the Hellcat-grade Challenger has been recalled over a glitch affecting the instrument panel software. Furthermore, both Hellcat models were also the subject of a safety recall that saw FCA US LLC “replace fuel delivery components that may leak,” aka leaky hose seals. Moreover, who can forget the customers that reported paint issues with their Hellcats?
On this occasion, a new Hellcat owner complained that his 2015 Charger SRT Hellcat came with a different shade of Brass Monkey for two of the four 20 x 9.5-inch Slingshot wheels. Take a brief look at the wheels in the picture above then compare the finish of the one on the top left to the other three. If you concentrate on the wheel on the top left, that one appears to be a lighter shade of Brass Monkey than the two forged-aluminum wheels featured on the bottom left and right.
Bilal mentions on the forum: “could it be brake dust on the front wheels, I tried cleaning yet there is a slight color difference that I can catch in the rear right wheel. What do you all think?” If we’re not mistaken, the dealership that delivered the car should replace this man’s imperfectly colored wheels. All in all that 3-year/36,000-mile basic limited warranty is there to provide Hellcat customers with stress-free ownership.
