So, you’re an enthusiast looking for the most American horsepower for your dollar, but your budget limits you to something in the mid-$20,000 range? You might think that kind of money can’t get you much unless you get something ancient or rough, but thanks to Dodge’s strong horsepower-per-dollar offerings with the Challenger and Charger and good old depreciation, you can now get a 10-year-old muscle car with an awesome 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine, nearly 500 hp and reasonable miles for the price of a new Toyota Corolla. That car is the 2015 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack. If you need four doors, the Charger Scat Pack is only slightly more expensive, and there are still decent examples of those available for just under $30,000, too. How does the Challenger beat out its competitors, and what should you look out for if you’re going to buy one? Read on.
