I had a 15 R/T plus 6m that I sold and " Stepped up" to a 21 Scat 6m. Total mistake listening to the hype of the crowd. I'd take a Do over if I could. An emblem cost me a lot of money.

@themultigamer56822 жыл бұрын
Not to surprising dodge understates the rt power, and overstates the scat packs so they can convince more people to pay for that extra trim model. My challenger puts out 395-400 horspower consistently, my buddy's scat puts out 470-475, so the difference in power is closer to 65-70 horspower. That extra torque is noticeable with some larger tires but in the end its not really enough to justify the increase in cost for most people. Plus, the 5.7 hemi has a special place in my heart for being around for so long.

Yea those tires make world difference for the scat pack. My first car 2015 Challenger 5.7 245/20 , did 0-60 in 4.9 if everything lines up perfectly. On (August 4 )Friday I purchased the Challenger 1320 as we know has the 275s did 4.1 not even trying. I took it down an old airfield in Chesapeake it was running sub 4s almost everytime. The best I did was a 3.7 with all the stars lining. Drag strip I might could get a 3.5,. The quarter mile I was thoroughly impressed mid 11s consistently. Where as my 2015 Challenger pre stages and supercharged ran in the 13 s. (Wanna say 13.7 was it's best I don't remember this was years ago.)
