If it makes any difference, the new one was probably manufactured within months of the one you have. They probably sat in the same large lot before one got slapped with a "2019" MY and the other got a "2021" MY. So quite honestly after all is said and done you will have shelled out more money for the same exact car. That is just being pragmatic. I will admit tho that these purchases very rarely exist within the realm of reason.

I would like a new HC. But if I was to get a new one it would be the RE or SuperStock. For sure not another standard Hellcat like I have now. So I would suggest perhaps swapping over to a different car that is on a similar level. C7 Z06 for starters. That would be a nice upgrade. Or maybe put in an order for a C8. Or hold out until the C8 Z06 arrives. But I would never make such a purchase. My ZL1 is a 17 and I won't upgrade because the new ones are still the same exact car as I have.
What I find funny is when ZL1 folks still have the upgrade bug I've been wrangling with on my 2SS, except they have nothing to upgrade to when they also want to stay stock, so they just change model years

As you said, it's essentially the same car apart from the new electronics that is a must for some and a meh for others.

gtfoxy, this is not a stab at you in any way, I appreciate your decision and hope you'll love your new 2022
