Well maybe my 350z or '05 Mustang (after installing an Eibach suspension). The problem with all that power is the constant throttle modulation as you attempt to keep traction. But hey, drive what you think is the most fun for you!!

I rented a Charger Scat Pack WB on vacation last year. It was an absolute blast to drive. My goal is to try and rent a Hellcat this year. However, if I had to chose between a Scat Pack and Hellcat for myself, I'd choose the Scat. The Hellcat has outrageous power that is no doubt fun, but I feel like the Scat Pack was the perfect amount of power for the street. I was able to keep it in Track mode and I always felt in control of the car. I could break it loose if I wanted, but it wasn't losing traction at speed like in this video lol. And it was still plenty fast. Best case scenario would be a Scat Pack daily and a Hellcat for the weekend!

I don't like how they are ending a great car. They are difficult to find and the dealers are continuing to bend people over with inflated mark ups. I bought a 2021 challenger scat pack. Had to buy a 21 because they quit taking orders for the 22 and it was months later before I guess you could order a 23. Never have figured out how to order or find a 23. The 21 I found I really like but the dealer charged me $500. More than the original window sticker.

You have to learn how to launch these cars. They are not easy and it takes a lot of practice. Launch control is not the way to extract the best times. I can consistently do 0-60 in 3.6-3.7 in my 21 Hellcat and 3.3-3.4 in my 21 Redeye on stock tires and on unprepped, but clean surfaces and all documented. This has taken time to master, but it can be done, especially after owning 4 of these cars. So 4.5 to 60 is probably correct for someone who has no idea how or the experience, to properly launch the challenger.

If I had the money for a muscle car, I would always prefer to drive a hemi v8 instead of another one. The Mustang, or even the ne Corvette Z06 with its completely new high rev flat-plane v8 may perform better on the track, but will never reach the deep bubbling and torque of such a large displacement. The 392 Super bee would also be enough for me, I honestly find the loud supercharger whining less beautiful than the pure v8 sound. And almost 500 hp are already more than enough. In addition, this great look and design language make the challenger for me the currently most beautiful muscle car there is. It's a pity that Dodge says goodbye to these legendary V8 engines for its muscle cars in the future and then you only get to hear a tuned leaf blower.
