yellaheep Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 2015 Challenger 392 Scat Pack.......... 485 hp / 475 tq. Available with Shaker package and manual / auto transmissions. $38K That's where I'll be headed. 700 hp is just stupid excess and not worth double the purchase price. The Scat Pack will be a whole lotta fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue XJ Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 What's a "release" engineer? You design, engineer, manage and release the part for production. Following it from initial design through to production. Gotcha. Heard the term a few years ago when talking to a buddy I graduated with, but never asked what it actually meant. On a brand new automotive design, approximately how many parts does a single engineer see through from design to release? Depends on the commodity you are working on, but I'd say on average it was about a dozen parts at a time. +/- based on part complexity. For the Challenger I had fixed glass, interior and exterior mirrors, sill moldings, windshield wipers, cowl screen headlights and front and rear fascias. For the vehicle before that, I had maybe 10 sheetmetal components and fixed glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellaheep Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I don't believe the Scat Pack Challengers are an SRT product. But I am perplexed as to why they'd add it to the lineup to compete with the SRT. Not much separates the Scat Pack from the SRT8.... Brembo's, seats perhaps, suspension mods....... :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of difference between an RT and an SRT. Looks like the scat pack is an RT with the SRT motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
