Can the Dodge Challenger replace your mid-size sedan? - LeftLane News
So with that question seared in our minds, we set about treating the Challenger Scat Pack like any other ordinary sedan for an entire week. For our evaluation Dodge sent us the latest version of its 2015 Challenger Scat Pack complete with a retro-inspired Shaker hood. The Scat Pack Shaker Package includes a long list of add-ons, including heated and ventilated front seats, heated and power-adjustable steering wheel, leather upholstery and, of course, a 6. 4L HEMI V8 sticking through the hood. Like all Scat Pack models, our B5 Blue example was powered by a 485 horsepower, 475 lb-ft of torque version of Dodge's 392 V8. Spec'd like a proper muscle car, our tester came equipped with a six-speed manual. As far as we can see, there are three major barriers to entry if you're considering ditching your Camry or Accord for the Challenger Scat Pack Shaker. The first and most obvious is literally a barrier to entry -- the Challenger only has two doors, which is exactly two fewer than you'll find on any sedan alternative, so accessing the rear seat does take a little bit of extra effort. As seen here the Challenger Scat Pack will set you back nearly $46,000. In comparison, a fully-loaded Honda Accord Plug-in tops out at about $40,000, and the Accord includes a bevy of very expensive and very complicated electronics. Source: www.leftlanenews.com
