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.

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.

That looks sharp!  Not too horrible of a price either for an SRT

It does look good, except for the 20" plus wheels.   :ack:   They just don't look right to me on a retro body like the Challenger.

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:

It looks like you might be right, the grill has an R/T badge in it.  There is a lot of difference between an RT and an SRT.  Looks like the scat pack is an RT with the SRT motor.
