    There is nothing that feels better than cruising in the most beautiful muscle car in the world and hearing the rumble of that HEMI (after you put a good exhaust on it). I'm sorry but there is no V6 in the world that will give you that sound.

    apparently the HEMI V8 doesn't either since so many owners swap exhausts for better sound.
    And I have had numerous people say they thought I had a V8 based on my exhaust sound
    All that to say that exhaust sound is a poor decision point to base a purchase on

    I test drove the stock 6 cyl and 8 cyl before buying my R/T, and there was a huge difference in sound. When you fire up a stock HEMI its a sound of beauty and there is no mistaking it for a 6 cyl, sorry.

    It all depends on how much money you want to spend and if miles per gallon is a concern.

    In my opinion Challenger= Hemi.

    Welcome to the Forum, I was in the same position you're in. My previous vehicle was a Chevy 2500 HD 4X4 and it was my daily driver. At best i was getting 12 MPG so i was ready for an upgrade. I test drove the Challenger SXT and the R/T Scat Pack. Night and Day....
    I ended up getting the 2015 Scat Pack with the 6.4L V8. Hopefully this helped a little :)
