    Like/dislike about my sixpack scat pack

    It was on the car I test drove and it only had 25 miles or so. It was on the same screen with the drive modes and had to be in sport mode.

    Six Pack Early Issues

    First of all, I don't really like the idea of a major component needing replaced on a new car. Second, having the car in the shop for 37 days would be pretty annoying. At the very least, I think they should give you some sort of compensation. North Country Ford in Coon Rapids gave me a...

    Dodge Charger Sixpack Pricing (Dodge Charger Sixpack MSRP)

    When you start comparing the new Charger price structure with the previous Charger, I suppose the new one seems overpriced. I would just say that I think the new one is worth the difference in terms of interior quality, refinement, content and overall feel. Also, I can't think of any other...

    Six Pack Dyno Numbers

    Yep, it needed more tweaking. It is still in the beta phase. I wouldn't trust it yet.

    Six Pack Dyno Numbers

    If I get a new Charger Six Pack, I will definitely go for a JB4. I would like to see some 0-60 and quarter mile times, though.

    Sixpack test drive

    I just can't help but think the marketing of this car is wrong. When most people hear the term "muscle car," they think loud, a bit crude, and almost cartoonish. Based on some of the comments on the Youtube videos, there are some purists who still want that. This car is probably not for...

    Six Pack Early Issues

    Sorry to hear of the issues but I am sure it will get sorted out. ZF makes excellent transmissions so needing a full replacement surprises me.

    Sixpack test drive

    I am not a professional reviewer but I drove a Scat Pack Plus model today and will share my impressions. I do not buy cars based on styling but, in my opinion, the Charger is beautiful and has a lot of road presence. It will never be mistaken for anything else. The car I drove did not...

    Throttle House reviews the Charger Sixpack

    Mine is stock. I thought about a piggyback device but never did it. If I get a Charger sixpack, I would get a tuner for it. That Hurricane has potential.

    Throttle House reviews the Charger Sixpack

    BMW updated the software after that test. Car & Driver did a re- test later: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a38159882/bmw-m550i-xdrive-acceleration-test/ I ran mine at the Brainerd, MN drag strip and it ran 11.6 @ 123 in hot humid conditions.

    Throttle House reviews the Charger Sixpack

    I have read or watched about every review of these and most have been very positive. The Throttle House review seemed to be an outlier. They were critical of a number things including the ride quality. I suspect the 40 series tires would be a bit more compliant than the 35s but most...

    Throttle House reviews the Charger Sixpack

    Most of the reviews have been pretty positive....except this one. I don't think marketing it as a "muscle car" is such a great idea, though. It is really more than that.

    Got mine!

    My BMW is all wheel drive. I had a Mustang GT and the only way to get it to hook was drag radials. A high performance vehicle really needs AWD, in my opinion.

    Got mine!

    A local dealer has one in stock and I will go drive it on Monday. I currently drive a BMW M550i. BMW discontinued that model so I am looking at alternatives that offer a combination of comfort, tech, and performance. I know the Six Pack will not quite match the acceleration of my current...

    Got mine!

    I am strongly considering one of these and am anxious to hear impressions from owners. They are getting good press and winning awards. On paper, they check about all the boxes for me but I look forward to a test drive when my dealer gets them in. I also plan to wait until we hear a bit...
