In fact, several riders, like me, were shocked at how comfortable the car rode on our Midwestern moonscape.Īnd I’ve gotta tell ya, the total performance adjustability, handled on an 8.4-inch touchscreen, is phenomenal. Handling is darn good too and ride, while firm, is so well controlled I felt the Challenger outperformed some pricy import sport sedans I’ve driven. While firm, it is so well controlled the Challenger may outperformed some pricy import sport sedans.Īlso helpful in putting the power down are sticky ZR-rated 20-inch performance tires that are literally (I measured), a foot wide. The Scat Pack Widebody's handling exceeds expectations. So this one cuddled up to a TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic ($1,595) that easily handles all that rumble.

(Officer, I saw no speed limit posted on the ramp!)Ī 6-speed manual gearbox is standard on this beast, which could be oodles of fun, but let’s be fair, the new automatics actually shift quicker and more efficiently than you or even a professional driver. Power is instantaneous and will get the Challenger up to 100 mph in the short burst of a highway entry ramp. How much rod? The R/T Scat Pack Widebody provides a 392 HEMI V8 that pumps 485 horsepower of pure violence on demand. No bad moons rising around this car, just plenty of hot rod heart. I settled in, often with a happy to oblige passenger, to cruise area highways and back roads with the $995 extra Alpine, 506-watt, 9-speaker surround sound system blasting out heavy-on-base Creedence Clearwater tunes. READ: 2020 Toyota GR Supra Premium Review My heartthrob for the week was a Hellraisin (metallic dark purple, get it?) Widebody loaded with all the options one could want, and still not have to sell the house, maybe. Yes, the more names and initials Dodge adds to its retro muscle car, the faster it goes and the cooler it looks, just ask any post-pubescent guy. But lavish in the luxurious cow-threatening interior of the R/T Scat Pack Widebody. But not the low-end V6-powered SXT, although I’m sure it has its party favors too. Slip into the camel brown suede and black leather interior of a muscle-bound hot rod, known to the Mopar brethren as a Dodge Challenger. I’ve discovered the perfect cure for pandemic boredom.
