Hey all,
for those who don' t know, I currently own a 2015 SXT challenger. I love and am grateful to own such a great car, however with how much I've paid off on my car versus how much I owe on it, I seem to be in a decent position to potentially upgrade sometime at the end of this year.
While I love the v6 for its balance of fuel economy and power, I feel like the car would benefit greatly from a V8. I'm looking for a lot more low end grunt, and while I originally contemplated buying a supercharger for the V6, I've come to realize that a trade in is more sensible, and leaves me with a better platform for modifications down the road, not to mention I will be able to get the M6, something I really missed with the SXT.
So with that in mind, my question is: 5.7 or 6.4 scat pack? SRT and hellcat are out of my price range (honestly even the scat pack is pushing it unless I get a good deal). I realize only I know what I really want/need given my budget, but I'd appreciate input, especially from those who upgraded from an SXT to either the R/T or Scat Pack. What are your impressions, what would you do if you could choose all over again, etc.
I am looking for more of that off-the-line attitude and power; this car will hardly be tracked, just the occasional 1/4 mile or maybe an open track day. It will still be a daily driver, even in snow, at least until I could find a cheap winter beater for the snow storm days. Fuel economy is still important, as I commute roughly 80 miles a day of mixed city and highway (with the sxt I'm averaging about 23-25 mpg depending on traffic and how aggressive I drive). What is your real world experience with both in terms of fuel economy, drivability in various conditions, and most importantly, fun factor and performance. Just looking for some honest input, any and all is much appreciated. Thanks guys!
