For those who are interested in the Dodge Challenger models which has over 400hp, now there are three choices:

2. The Challenger Scat Pack, or Shaker trim with the 6.4L V8 option;
3. The Challenger SRT Hellcat with supercharged 6.2L V8.

– Can be paired to a 6-speed manual transmission or an 8-speed ZF-sourced automatic transmission;

The 2015 Challenger will has similar mechanical, electronic devi...
