Did you put in an early-bird order for a 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat? Has your delivery date been mysteriously pushed back over and over with nary an explanation? The problem could be a lack of optional satin black hoods, according to a forum thread on Hellcat.org.
Forum members on Hellcat.org have been anxiously tracking every step in the process that will hopefully end with a 707-horsepower behemoth landing like two tons of freedom in their driveways. A number of them, all of whom opted for satin black hoods, have had their orders delayed with little or no explanation. Some have even been contacted by their dealerships, saying that delivery would be delayed until as late as February 2015 unless they switched their order to a body-colored hood.

If that's the case, it's a shame–the only thing meaner than a brutal muscle car packing more than 700 tire-obliterating horsepower is one with the all-business look of a satin black hood. And if you're ponying up to be one of the first lucky dogs to buy a Hellcat, it should be a Hellcat the way you want it.
Then again, it's not like this mean machine needs any more attitude. We've reached out to folks at Dodge to see what's going on, and will update if we hear anything back.
