    I always like to see the ebay listings for new Hemi Challengers. I check every month probably. There were always many, like 15-20 at least on any given day. I noticed there were very few today and they are all manual transmissions except for one leftover 2020 model with an auto. Plenty of 6 cylinder models but not the V8 models. I imagine there are way more on dealer lots across the country but I have a feeling the options and choices are a bit limited.
    I feel fortunate to have found the exact Challenger I would have ordered last year. I've certainly read about the 'chip' shortage so maybe that is the reason for the lack of listings. It will return to 'normal' eventually but I'm glad I'm not looking right now.

    ^^ That's wild! I realize they are rare but another seller has one for $975 plus another seller has two for $1,200. Different manufacturing companies. That's still really high but if you want one, they are available.

    As it is a Manual,
    I guess he can justify the almost $40k Markup

    AlSO, it is NOT an SRT model...even tho they have it advertised as such.

    Says right on the window sticker......Challenger R/T Scat Pack Widebody....no mention of SRT at all.

    I got my 21 a month-ish back for invoice -1%. Technically it is a Hybrid version SRT. No not electric, but the startup logos are SRT, the brakes are SRT, ...

    But it is NOT an SRT......look at the window sticker...it is an R/T model with the Scat Pack trim.....

    If I put a corvette radio in a chevette...it doesn't make it a corvette now does it ??

    And NO, the brakes are not SRT...they are Brembo....but someone decided to put SRT on the caliper.......................

    And the startup logos were developed by SRT....but are not SRT....almost any V8 challenger has access to them if they buy an aftermarket tuner.......does that make them SRTs as well ??

    Does the SRT and SP use the same engine?
