Sublime was the most popular color for the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and this afternoon, the high performance brand announced that the bright metallic green hue will be returning for the 2019 model year, but not just for the Challenger, as this color will be offered with all Charger trim levels as well.

The 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 finally made its world debut this morning at the 2019 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, and while we don’t know how much power the supercharged Stang will offer, we can look at how it will stand up to the in-class competition from Chevrolet and Dodge.

The 2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has a much lower starting price than the 2018 models due to the removal of several key standard features, but even when you equip the 2019 version with the same basic features as the previous model year, the new, more-powerful Hellcat Challenger does cost a bit less.

While I have not received confirmation from FCA, multiple dealership contacts around the United States have confirmed that the 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack 1320 will go on sale tomorrow, with deliveries planned for the first quarter of 2019.

The folks from Car & Driver published the results of the 2018 Lightning Lap competition in this month’s issue of the magazine and the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody finished in the middle of the pack – an impressive placement for a car that is often pinned as being nothing more than drag strip dominator.

FCA announced this afternoon that production of the 797-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Redeye began today in Brampton and while we don’t know for sure when the first units will reach dealers – we do know for sure that the newest Mopar muscle car is about to hit the streets.
