Dodge Expands Hellcat Production
Dodge is increasing production for its hot SRT Hellcat models.
An anonymous source has tipped off Hellcat.org that the American automaker has added 1,000 more units to its production, although a breakdown of how many of those will be Charger and Challenger models was not revealed. In recent months, Dodge has criticized its dealerships for taking deposits on SRT Hellcat models when the dealership might not even get enough inventory. The company also restricted orders earlier this month, admitting that demand was “unprecedented” for the 707-hp sports cars.

Reminds me when the Ferrari F40 production limit was increased. A few early adopters did become upset for having "less" exclusivity
Just think, you can now get to the next stoplight 1/2 second quicker!
