I've had several Charger 5.7's but not scatpak and love them all. Never any serious problems. First I've heard of the door panel issue!

I think they are great cars, my sister in law has had two shaker 6 speed challengers. I don't like the six speed because I am a drag racer and the first gear ratio is horrible for that. An 8 speed in a scat pack would be a blast. If I were in the market to by me a daily driver right now I would buy a 1320 model and race the doors off of it.
A 2.97 first mated to 3.90 rear. Too low? Please elaborate. It is a heavy car and has a tall tire. With a slick where you could rev it up and dump the clutch it might do OK. Trying to get it out on the stock tires resulted in either a horrible bog, or when I got more aggressive it spun and tire hopped real bad right as I got the clutch out. I only got three passes in it though and it wasn't mine and she didn't want my brother in law to know she let me make passes in it LOL. The gears are nice and tight after first through. If I remember right I was having to grab 4th just before the traps.

All considered ... absolute requirement for premium fuel .... huge additional insurance costs ... and almost TWICE THE COST of the vehicle !! I’ll stick with my Scatty Your right its just my opinion, based on my personal experience. I bought a new SP, had it for about a year. I sold it and bought a used HC with 300 miles on it., still had over 2 years of warranty. The HC cost 15K more than I paid for the SP. The insurance cost did not go up at all. The performance difference was huge, no comparison.

Now the  factor is something to consider when getting either vehicle! The HC gets the bigger  there

I'm interested in this subject too but am not up to par on the new stuff. Can you get a Charger Scat Pak with a shaker? I'm torn between the Challenger and Charger. I'd like either one with a Shaker and sunroof  .

Surprisingly, the 70 gets more looks and interest than the HC. My 96 Viper Roadster seems to garner more attention than both the Challengers, tho. Im past the attention thing, i wanna enjoy what i worked years for. The HC is hands down the most fun to drive. all of these cars are manual tranny's cause that was my first car back in the day. A lower first gear would definately be a plus in the HC, but as much as i use it, it isnt gonna be changed. I'm sure whatever the OP decides on, he will be happy. We all have different tastes. Jim

It gets boring to drive because you only get to use 5% of the vehicles capacity. Don't miss the car but miss 6 speed scat pack challenger I had before the charger.
56 Plaza 63 D100 step side 67 Coronet, 68 Roadrunner, 69 Super Bees, 69 Coronet 500 convertible, 70 Roadrunner Post, 79 D150 360, and a severe case of Mopar a,d,d

Personally I would agree, but some people need and want 4 doors. For those that don't, they make Challengers. 
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol
