It's a big car that feels big, but other than working within the laws of physics the folks at Dodge have pretty well taken care of the bigness when it comes to driving the Challenger
Dodge's Challenger Scat Pack Shaker (and no, the scat pack doesn't mean it leaves stuff behind it on the road) is not only a great muscle car experience, it's also an interesting lesson in semantics.
That's because it teaches us that the word "standard transmission" no longer applies to a stick shift, at least in this instance. Nope, in this case, the 485 "horsepowerhouse" comes "standard" with an automatic transmission, whereas the great Tremec six speed stick manual transmission is a thousand dollar option.
And a good option, too - better than a lot of the nannies for which you can pay more!
