2015 Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack - Car and Driver (blog)
Dodge knows a good thing when it has it. And we’d argue that its 485-hp 6. 4-liter Hemi V-8 is a very good thing. Dodge is making that good thing more widely available by putting it into another model—the Charger R/T, this time—and lowering the price of entry. “We’re now putting the 6. 4 at a price point people can afford,” said Dodge exec Bob Broderdorf. As with its coupe counterpart, the Challenger R/T Scat Pack , the Charger R/T Scat Pack is just as heavy on the power as the SRT 392 model but goes a bit lighter on the frills. Some of the SRT 392’s amenities, like leather upholstery, heated front and rear seats, a power-adjustable steering column, and HID headlamps, move to the options list. The SRT’s computer-adjustable Bilstein dampers give way to fixed-rate Bilsteins, and the front brake rotors shrink slightly to 14. 2 inches with four-piston Brembo grabbers, down from the 15. 4-inch/six-piston Brembos on the SRT 392. The 20-inch... Styling is virtually identical, however, save for the Scat Pack’s black rear spoiler and Scat Pack grille badge. Inside, the SRT’s rad, flat-bottom steering wheel is replaced by a so-called “performance” flat-ish-bottom wheel, which has a thick, contoured rim and perforated leather, and the gray fabric seats feature the Scat Pack bee on the front seatbacks. Best of all, the Dodge Performance Pages—and launch control—are present and accounted for. Source: www.caranddriver.com
