Default Anyone had a run in with a Scat Pack yet?

Had a run in with a brand new Charger Scat Pack the other day that edged me out slightly. Didn't realize how powerful they were until I looked up the stats. 485 HP/475 TQ and capable of low 12's.

Never a Scat Pack but it's funny yesterday on PCH a Charger RT came "charging" up fast after he saw me merging on. He got next to me and gestured if I wanted to go. I nodded and I put up 3 fingers gesturing 3 honks, dropped a couple gears down to 3rd and we're off. I put maybe 3-4 cars on it in from a quick 60-90mph then shut it down. He then got behind me and tailgated me for the next mile or so...

Pretty excited after I got home and looked up their specs, sadly they only run like 13.7ish at low 100s. Similar to an 2IS IS350.

My excitement was short lived.

Are you stock by chance? If you are even though you got edged out that's still not a bad run.

lol I ran with a hell cat on the streets a month ago. It was more cat and mouse and then we pulled over and laughed our asses off. It was a cool crossing. He said he put in 700 hp mode when he saw me in traffic . I told him I was flattered he even felt the need to. lol

With I/H/E you should have the advantage since Charger Scat Packs are like 12.4-12.5 cars it seems.
