"It was a four-door, hemi-powered flying Purple Audi Eater"

Apologies for the lame parody attempt, but I got this Charger Scat Pack for a week, and it’s badass. Best part imho, besides the cool retro Plum Crazy color is the sound. Oh yeah, and the 485hp hemi. Sure it’s a 4,400lb tank but 470 torques motivates this sled very nicely.

At 4,400#, I think it probably just ate half of an Audi. DOUBLE BURN!

I’m sure it’ll get back down under 4,000 once it poops out the Audi.

Is that the journalist Scat Pack that TST had?

I had a scat pack challenger rental last summer. Overwhelmingly mediocre car, but my god that engine was incredible.

I’m going to be really sad when the current Charger/Challenger go out of production they might be long in the tooth but they have so much presence going down the road.

I love the 3rd generation LX. I have a fist gen MSRT. This will be my next car. Plum crazy purple of course. Please post your thoughts on the car later.

Who rents out hemi Challengers? Agree with your conclusion, but I still love that car; my biggest squawk with the SRT8 Challenger was it was too damn quiet. This Charger does not have that problem however.

Possibly. Who's TST?

Just had a look at the Allpar site; they haven't updated anything re the LX. They're just saying the new cars will be on a smaller, lighter chassis. Whatever FCA does they better make a vert version of the next iteration.

Local, private owned Budget franchise. Best part: it was a manual
