Why not wait a bit and get the 392 Shaker? It will be a pretty rare car as I've read they are only going to make 100 of them.

I guess I'm getting confussed, is the "shaker"an option on the scat pack or a separate model? It would be great to own one of a hundred. But not sure I'm up for the premium

A Shaker Scat Pack will be a model come January. It is for looks only, will add no horsepower according what I have read from Dodge and other sources.

I got to drive an R/T Scat Pack for a week and here is my story. I was traveling to Birmingham, AL and decided to fly to Atlanta and drive over so I went to my usual vendor and the 4 door sedans were very expensive so I scrolled through the other options and ran across a Mustang which was considerably cheaper, so much so that I figured OK a 6 cylinder/auto car, hey that would be fun enough with the 300 hp motor now in those things. I get to the counter and on the way passed a 5.0 Mustang sitting right up front and thought wow, that would be better. As I approached the counter sitting right in front was a Sublime Challenger and again although I am a total Challenger guy when I have a choice, I figured it was probably a 6 banger in a wild color and did not pay much attention because Sublime is not my color or choice but hey cool. So I get to the Fast Break counter and give the guy my name and he says "What do you want?" and I said well I rented a Mustang and he says well there are about 50 of them so do you have a color preference or .... and I start to give him a few colors and he interrupts me and says, pointing past me, or you can have that. Now I know that Challenger is sitting about right where he is pointing so I say you mean the Challenger and he says yes, incredulously I look at him and say "for the same price" and he again says "yes!" He says it is a Scat Pack, 6 speed and asks if I know how to drive a manual so I blurt out, well I have a black SRT8 6 speed sitting in my garage at home and yes I would take that car. He replies, Wow, at last I am renting this out to someone that knows how to drive it!. I take the car! As soon as I start it up, the exhaust note is rumbling the parking garage and I cannot stop grinning expectantly waiting to get out of there and on the freeway. As I am headed out towards the freeway, I take a left hand turn onto a highway and hit the gas, tires are spinning and I back off. As I look into the mirror sitting a 1/2 block down the road, thankfully facing the other way is a cop monitoring traffic. OOOPS! I guess he did not hear me or see me so no blue lights in the mirror!
To make this long story short, I drove the crap out of the thing when I could and came home now itching to trade my 10 in on one of these, it is incredibly fast and seemingly that extra 50 hp and whatever else they did between my 6.1 and the new 6.4 is WOW taking!! The Scat Pack with all the launch control features and the new grill, taillights, dash panel, console etc, etc is way too cool as is the bee scat pack emblem on the side. I got envy for all you boys and girls that got one! If I had not had a wind storm blow some of my roof off and now I have to pay to replace that (my insurance is only paying for the damaged side, so I am replacing the entire roof on my own just because it needs it) I would be wheeling and dealing at my local Dodge dealer.
Sorry this is so long!
