Dodge knows a good thing when you have. And we would argue that the 485-hp 6.4-liter Hemi V-8 is a very good thing. Dodge makes another model Charger R / T, this time-and lowering the price of admission, which circulates good. Power for the proletariat!

“We are now in the process that can make 6.4 at a price that people” said Bob Dodge executive Brodersdorf. “Not everyone can get a Hellcat. Not everyone can have an SRT. But we want to ensure that the element of power. And I package makes feces.”

We would agree. Like its coupe counterpart, the Challenger R / T Scat Pack Charger R / T Scat Pack is just as hard in power as SRT Model 392, but is a little easier on the flyers. Some of the SRT 392 services such as leather upholstery, heated front and rear seats, an electrically adjustable steering column and HID headlights, turn to the list of options. The SRT team Bilstein adjustable dampers the way fixed-rate Bilstein, and front disc brakes slightly reduced to 14.2 inches with four-piston Brembo Grabber, compared with 15.4 / six-piston Brembo in the SRT 392. This 20-inch to change wheels in design, but not in diameter, although the tire width decreases significantly from the SRT 275/40 Pirelli P Zeros 245/45 Goodyear RS-A all seasons, optional rubber Goodyear F1 Supercar. The style is almost identical, with the exception of Scat Pack black rear spoiler and grille plate Scat Pack.

Within the SRT is rad, wheel flat bottom is replaced by a so-called “yield” wheel-ish flat bottom a thick, contoured edge and perforated leather, and the seats of fabric have the Pack Scat Bee consider backups the front seats. Scat Pack only a “splash screen” is on when the instrument is started, too. Best of all, the performance pages Dodge and throw this being taxes and accounting. Hoping to lower weight with the (slightly) lower decoration rent? Sorry, but Dodge Scat Pack says the 4,400 pounds to 10 pounds lighter than the 392nd SRT

But as the SRT 392, the Scat Pack feels spectacularly fast. From a traffic light, it’s oh so easy to illuminate the optional three-season Goodyear, thin, wide and only 245 mm, when the rear end connects quickly with a sensible application of the accelerator pedal. Sharpens throttle response and speed of transmission of a “Sport” button on the lower instrument panel and manual changes are called with a start in the palette of zinc. All the while shouting the Scat Pack with the same banshee wail, have come to love all use SRT logo.

Dodge claims that 60 mph is reached in the middle and upper range of four seconds, with the mark of a quarter mile in the middle of last 12er. We think that’s a little shy. Oh, and he claims that the Dodge Scat Pack Charger can be at 175 miles per hour.

During our first trip was only about 40 miles, much of it was along the California entertain Ortega Highway (Highway 74). From this limited exposure, we learned that the car remains very flat during cornering and holds in the corners, to lower socket on the border (the ruling of heavy Hemi for a distribution of 54/46 percent by weight Chrysler scales). The ride is firm, but none of the fragility of Scat Pack Challenger models have observed before sign. Obviously, the sedan longest distance between axes has its advantages.

As in the SRT 392, steering feel is one of the best features of Scat Pack, for the tremendous torque engine makes it easy to loose rear wheels to break some of ox-by-the-back tricks, although the distance long wheelbase ensures that the rear end not to move too fast, so perfectly catchable in the corners. It braking is also impressive, maintaining excellent pedal feel and strong response from Dodge that happens braking from 60 mph to a dead stop in less than 120 meters, very impressive for a car of this size.

During the Scat Pack of $ 40,990 starting price is $ 7.390 less than the $ 48,380 SRT 392, adding things like a sunroof, leather upholstery, ventilated seats and can close the price gap, so you might consider springing for SRT grippier, better equipped 392, if you want things like adjustable shock absorbers and brakes super grade. It keeps it simple, however, and the Scat Pack is an incredible deal charger achievement, which is very entertaining themselves.
