    As a comparison, here is Motor Week's review of the Charger Scat Pack Six Pack. They got 12.20 sec. @116 mph in the 1/4 mile and 3.9 sec. 0-60 mph. The MSRP? Three thousand more than the R/T at $56,990.

    That's more than enough power for a street car. I would be looking for some long term reliability if I was planning on shelling out that kind of money.

    Edmunds compared the Charger Scat Pack against the Mustang GT (5L). Overall, they preferred the Mustang over the Charger and only gave it a 4 out of 10 on the "fun meter."

    Here were the performance times:

    Charger- 12.2 sec. @115 mph 1/4 mile and 4.2 sec. 0-60 mph*

    Mustang- 12.8 sec. @111.7 mph 1/4 mile and 4.3 sec. 0-60 mph

    *The Charger had a thermal management issue and the 0-60 mph times increased from 4.2 sec. to 6+ sec. to almost 8 sec. in 5 consecutive runs.
