Sorry, my dumb ass was google searching a special edition "Goldilocks" - its been. stressful week.

I have driven/owned most of the Challengers and the Hellcat is indeed 200 HP more than 275mm can handle. For me, 6.4, Widebody, Automatic Challenger with down pipe modification, hold the porridge. lol

"Down pipe modification"

What's that?

Sorry mid pipes. Mid section cats.

I bought and sold a T/A edition last year that had the centre pipes replaced...o lawdy it, what a thing

OK, now I get ya. Known here as 'mid-muffler delete' - a very common mod that makes the car rowdier. However the adaptive exhaust on these cars is so free flowing that the only tangible benefit is more noise. Making them unnecessarily loud is a bit obnoxious (just my view) when they sound really good bone-stock.

There is something of a down-side to widebody ownership. These big brakes require big wheels:



Big wheels require big tyres - big tyres are big money



Despite having a 'square' arrangement (fronts are same size as rears), meaning it's possible to rotate fronts to back, mine has still eaten $1600 worth of P Zeros in 16k miles

This thread has potentially changed my mind about my next car. Have some inheritance and a Caterham was on the list, but now changed over to a Challenger or maybe a Charger.

You should definitely do it
If you are down this way happy for you to check it out. Bit of a trek though! I was up in Hull last summer with it but not sure I'll be up in Yorkshire again for a while.

Just picked it up from Pilgrim Motorsports / Muscle Car UK following a service and MOT. Excellent service and some seriously nice cars down there so I think I'll be back again.

With the auto box it really works well, the down shift blips are tremendous. Absolutely on the excessive noise however, I traded a Mustang 2018 with a full race/catless thing. Horrible. Screams of effort!

Bone stock with a little extra volume is perfect! Epic car, enjoy it!

Took the Challenger to the Mopar Muscle Association UK meet at Brooklands over the weekend. Got snapped by the photographer so it would be rude not to share on here! Lots of incredible Chargers, Challengers, Cudas, Coronets etc on show so a great day out.

The [https://scatpack.info/]Scatpackt|https://scatpack.info/l[/https://scatpack.info/] Dodge Widebody Charger is a high-performance sedan that was first introduced in 2015. It’s powered by a 6.4-liter V8 engine that produces 485 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque. The Charger Scatpack has a widebody kit that makes it look more aggressive and gives it better handling. It also comes with bigger brakes and 20-inch wheels. The Scatpack is the perfect car for those who want a high-performance sedan that looks great and is fun to drive.

It has been a while since the last update but there is not much to report other than I have finally had the wheels refurbished. Had enough of the lacquer peel, so diamond cut replaced by satin black!

I've also been to the odd show - really enjoyed American Speedfest but not many Challenger owners when I arrived! The Dodge is off commuting duty too with the arrival of a 2010 1.1 Panda. There are enough threads on those though
