The Scatpack is a great car. I have had both a Challenger and a Charger Scat. As far as performance goes, it is pretty much a drivers race between the two. I think you get a little more for your money in the way of overall options with the Camaro when it is in 2ss trim. The Camaro 2SS has everything from memory seats and heads up display to a wireless charging pad. As far as reliability goes, just going from my experience, the Dodge wins hands down. My Challenger Scat with the 8 speed never gave one problem. No torque converter shudder, no strange groans and moans etc.. As I type this, my Camaro is back in the shop for what sounds to me like the rear diff groan! I have already had the shudder too.

Stock vs Stock they are close, but for modding the Camaro pulls away. Once you put a LT1 on E85 and feed it the timing it needs to reach MBT, It's making more HP then a 6.4 hemi in a car that is 600lbs lighter. 93 octane is bare minimal for a LT1 with it's high compression.

No doubt the HC would be an absolute blast and I have looked at them price wise. The biggest shocker was how much my insurance would go up on one of those. I have a spotless driving record and my insurance premium would be an additional $140 a month to replace the SS. So likely a much higher car loan payment and then you tack on another $140 for insurance and it's a tough pill to swallow. At least for me.

If you're eligible for USAA try it out. With their discount I'm about to replace my supercar tires for $870 plus tax. |

Ahh yeah the USAA I hear makes a night and day difference on insurance. However I am not eligible. I have gotten quotes from a few other places and they are quite a bit more than Geico. Perhaps the state and location you're in is a contributing factor as well. |

Probably does have something to do with location! Those 4 years I put in 30+ years ago continue to pay dividends!
