2021 Pulled The Trigger

Finally pulled the trigger on a 2021 ZL1 coupe automatic.
Coming from a 2018 SRT Demon.
The Demon was a amazing car. Drove it for over 2 years and really enjoyed it.
My background is Dodge SRT. I have owned them all. 4 SRT Jeep’s. 1 SRT Durango. 1 SRT Hellcat. 1 SRT 2009 Challenger.
It was time for change.
Inventory on 2021 is just about 0 at this point.
I had this car on my radar for 2 months.
It’s getting shipped to the Swamplands of Louisiana next week.
I learned a lot reading on this forum.
I decided to get a 2021 over any other year.
I will give my reviews once I get it in hand
Thanks to all you guys for all the detailed information on this platform

Please post up when you get it. I’d love to hear a Hellcat owner/Mopar guys opinions on the ZL1!

You're going to love it. I made the switch myself 6 months ago, sold my 2016 Hellcat Challenger with just over 1000hp. I've had a few Hellcat's and we're actually supposed to take delivery of our Hellcat Durango in about 2-3 weeks. That being said, I love the ZL1 more than the Hellcat even though they are both fruits, its a little apples to oranges in direct comparison.

You can read my comparison here.

I was born, raised, and educated in Louisiana (LSU), but haven't lived there since mid-70s. It was those high school and college days with muscle cars that that my friends owned, but I didn't, that led to my passion for fast.

Congrats! Let's us know what you think. I also made the jump from dodge, I'm coming from a Charger Hellcat. I ordered my ZL1 mid February and it is schedule to be built mid May, so hopefully it still gets built.

i would hate to give up a Demon, I think those cars are going to only go up in value.
