With all the hype over the Hellcat it really seems like the regular Challengers aren't getting much love. The more basic models are pretty sweet as well. I also like what they're doing with the graphics packages this year. We just got a truckload in last night, so here are a few highlights. Warning- extremely potato-ey photos ahead.

Challenger 392 Scat Pack. This package looks like a much better deal than previous SRT's. The last 2014 SRT we had stickered at $47k and wasn't as nice as this one, which stickers at $43k.

Red suede seats with embroidered R/T logo.

Stupid potato phone couldn't capture the shift pattern on top of the shifter. Really wish I had my DSLR today.

I didn't actually know challengers came with a manual. Awesome. Now I have the wants.

This is the one I would get. The Hellcat is awesome but this looks great and has more than enough power, for not that much money. My favorite muscle car.

It's the Charger that is auto only. ~the more you know~

Yeah. I am always confusing these two cars. It's too bad the Charger is auto only, because I like that one better, but cannot into auto.

There have been plenty of conversions but it's expensive and a matter of getting the electronics to play nice.

Given I can't even fix my rear defrost....I may stay away from that.

Unless things have changed recently, only the V8 can come with a manual. The v6's only come in an auto. That is the main reason I didn't get one.

Bottle holder, yes. Most of the newer cars I've driven have them. Holds a 20 ouncer pretty well.

Had a small run of shakers in late spring/early summer but that was that. They haven't announced anything official yet on 2015 model shakers.

The charger needs to have a manual option too.

Well shit, if only you'd told me before I put in my two weeks' notice at Chrysler, I totally would've stopped the line to throw some in ;)

Honestly, the whole LX platform needed manual options...the Challenger was the only LX platform car that did get the TR6060, because it was built alongside the Vipers....

Meanwhile, everyone in the 300C, Magnum and Charger had to choose between a really shitty Dodge 4 speed auto, or the Diamler-Benz 5 speed auto.
