Helliphant availability a pipe dream/joke/con?

[covidcommander]

[SilverBillet]

You would think there would be all sorts of news by now of these Hellephants running fantastic times in all sorts of drag cars…but where are they?

 

[Hickster]

Pubic conversatiy. Bad news all the way around.

good question. saw the plymouth fury they did. i guess for that $ they all show cars,

idk, how much to build a comparable motor?

I forget which speed shop bought up a tonne of the first batch.

They had rack after rack of them in one of their YT videos, I'm guessing , but I would bet they had 30 of them?

As for this batch, it's much like the other stuff they've been talking about...

I saw a special on that shop...they also had multiple crates of Demon and HC motors...I believe they specialized in various jeep transplants...if I remember...it was quite a sizeable operation..

Back when they made the first batch available for sale (hype to the moon) they sold out immediately. Then those “buyers” waited a year. By the time the connected celebs got the first few, many of the regular people said screw it and cancelled their orders. Surely I’m not the only one who has noticed that this is SOP for Dodge. The motor is a nice piece and at $30k (if you could get one) is tempting. I’m waiting on parts for a second engine build and when I saw the Hellephant listed on Direct Connection, I started thinking. I could sell that 3.0 IHI for big bucks because they never made it available by itself. I could put my new 3.8 Whipple on there and have a Ethanol drinking Whipplephant! But instead…. Same unavailable bs as before 😕

Smoke and mirrors.

The fury they did on graveyard cars they pulled the motor out because the guy that bought it wanted it to look more like Christine. Not sure what they did with the engine

They said they will release more of them.
Its a specialty engine so I am assuming it just needs to be scheduled into production.

Well, the first batch was not built by Mopar - they were built by BES Racing Engines in Indiana. Have no idea WTF they are doing this time around, but it sure has been a shyt show from the onset.

Not impressed with MOPARs business practices this far. Who is running the PR division? El Biden??

They have sucked since the merger talks began.

Fun times are ending
