Meet Our New 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody Jailbreak!

We Even Got To Witness The Birth Of Our Car At The Brampton Assembly Plant!

At MoparInsiders, we love the big rear-wheel-drive V8-powered Dodge Charger, Challenger, and Chrysler 300. Well, unless you have been living under a rock for the past year, you know that this year is the last chance to get your hands on one of these cars before they move to electrification and Hurricane Inline 6 for the next generation. As fans of these cars, Co-Editor Robert Miller and I each wanted to get our hands on one. Last month he showed you guys his 2023 Chrysler 300C, and now I am excited to show you my new 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody Jailbreak.

Some of you may remember the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk that I factory-ordered a few years ago. If you do remember that vehicle, it immediately becomes evident that I ordered this Redeye in as close as a spec as possible to that Trackhawk. On the exterior, I went with Frostbite blue paint, yellow calipers, black badging, satin black hood, SRT Performance Spoiler, and the Devil’s Rim wheels, which not only have an awesome name, but I still think are some of the best-looking factory wheels available on any vehicle.

On the interior, I went with the full Laguna leather, Hammerhead gray seats, hammerhead gray seatbelts, hammerhead gray floor mat bindings, Alcantara headliner, Alcantara steering wheel with white LED, Carbon fibre interior trim, Technology group, Driver convenience group, and Harmon/Kardon sound group.

The base price of a 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat in Canada starts at $87,395 and as optioned this Jailbreak hit my wallet for $133,945. This is the fourth Challenger that I have owned after starting with a 2019 Challenger 1320. After that, I briefly owned a 2020 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye narrow body. I still own our 2015 Challenger SRT HELLCAT project, and I have added this 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody Jailbreak to the fleet.

Making this car even more special to me is the fact that I was able to visit the Brampton Assembly Plant and watch this car get built before my eyes. It was an amazing experience to watch the car come together on the production line, and it was eye-opening to see just how complicated the process is, where all of the parts and subassemblies must meet up with the correct car in sequence at different stages of the assembly process. It was also nice to see the employees that have an obvious passion for these cars and what they do. I had a ton of employees congratulating me on the car and even asking why I chose certain options as they were genuinely curious. I have to give a big shout-out and thank you to all the employees and management for making that day an unreal experience for me.

Check out the video above and let us know what you would like to see in the comments below. The plan is to leave this car fairly stock, but I am interested to know what you guys would like to see or know more about this car.

That's a beautiful Challenger. Is there any part of the assembly process that you liked seeing more than other parts of it? My Grandfather retired from the Fenton MO Chrysler plant as a millwright when I was still in grade school (early 90's, I might have been 10 if that when he retired) and I wish I had asked him more about his work there. I know when model change came around and assembly line workers were off for x amount of weeks he worked 12 hours a day 7 days a week getting things changed over.

If you don't leave it stock in the end are you planning on using the direct connection program through a power broker dealership to keep it under warranty? I don't think it's in the cards for me right now with us hoping to buy a house in the nearer future but a scat pack Challenger in plum crazy purple is really tempting to go into debt over haha.

Sorry for the long winded comment and congratulations on the car.
