This car corners a lot better than I expected going in, negotiating curves with ease. Throw the Challenger into corners and it sticks to the road on its Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tires. Put the suspension and steering into sport mode and you feel them both firm up right to where they need to be. The biggest surpsise to me though was handling. The big Brembos stop the car quickly and quietly with excellent pedal feel and feedback. 2018 Challenger R/T 392 Scat Pack Shaker (Moparinsiders) Something else I noticed with the way the transmission behaves is when you put it into gear the car rocks back and forth a tiny bit just like an old school high horsepower muscle car with a shift kit, nice touch Dodge. The paddles respond quickly to up or downshifts as well.

ZFs 8 speed transmission is also very well calibrated in this car, shifts are lighting quick when you’re going full throttle or smooth and undetectable under normal conditions. Drive it normally and it’s a nice composed grand touring car with a bit of bark to its exhaust, pin the throttle to the floor board and it turns into an animal. The 392 Hemi is so well tuned that you get the feel of driving a classic muscle car but with the refinement of a modern car. Put your foot into it and the Challenger pins you to your seat and pulls like a freight train right to redline, the ZF 8 Speed automatic rips shifts lighting quick and as it’s doing that you get some nice barks from the exhaust, this is the best combination of classic muscle and present technology that I’ve ever experienced. The 6.4L Hemi develops 485hp RPM and 475 ft-lbs of torque RPM. This is what you’re here for so lets get right in to it. This is a comfortable and well thought out interior that is an enjoyable place to spend time.Ģ018 Challenger R/T 392 Scat Pack Shaker (Moparinsiders) The Drive

The redundant radio and climate controls are mounted in the center console, just ahead of the T-handle shifter and are easy to operate. The system is as easy to use as ever while being faster and featuring crisper graphics than the older UConnect systems. FCAs new Uconnect 4C infotainment system is also along for the ride with the big 8.4 inch display mounted high on the dash and angled towards the driver. You can view vital information, such as oil temps etc, fuel mileage, 0-60 times and much more while having the ability to choose what you want displayed at all times. As with most FCA products there is an attractive gauge cluster with a 7 inch customizable display in the center. I found the seats to be very comfortable and unlike many bolstered seats they are wide enough for a big guy like myself to sit in and be comfortable.

My Tester had the black Alcantara heated and ventilated seats with aggressive side bolstering. The Challenger takes design cues from the past and incorporates them with materials and technology from the present to create an inviting and comfortable place to spend time.

Open the drivers side door and you are greeted with a retro-modern look. Overall the Challenger has an imposing prescence on the road that does not go unnoticed.Ģ018 Challenger R/T 392 Scat Pack Shaker (Moparinsiders) Interior The width of the car is accented by horizontal themes in the grille and taillights. Long, low and wide seem to be the theme here with a long hood, low greenhouse and a long rear deck. The Challenger received a fairly extensive refresh in 2015 that in my opinion cleaned up the looks of the 2008-2014 model.

Although the overall design dates back to the 2008 Challenger which in itself was a re-imagining of the iconic 1970 model it still turns heads everywhere you go. Red Brembo calipers are visible behind the wheels and really complete the red and black look.

Our tester was beautifully finished in Octane Red with black accents and featured 20×9 matte black aluminum wheels. 2018 Challenger R/T 392 Scat Pack Shaker (Moparinsiders) Design MoparInsiders was fortunate enough to get some seat time in a 2018 Dodge Challenger 392 Scat Pack Shaker thanks to our friends at Abbotsford Chrysler.
