Yes. Especially if you are tracking the R/T. Haven't heard of the super track pack.

First thing about Dodge STP, They spell it wrong. It's Super Track Pak. I guess they wanted to separate it from the Scat Pack appellation.

I would still be driving me beloved SS if they didn't stole it.
My dealer gave me the keys of a new 2016 Camaro SS with Magride for a day to test drive. It has so much to offer performance & technology wise but now with 3 kids, the Gen6 Camaro was not possible due to it's smaller cabin size & hefty price increase since Gen5. I'm 6'4'' and my wife 6' so we love and need big cars. We had the Chrysler 300 and the Dodge Magnum. I've came so close to get a used 2013 ZL1 but got robbed again on the day I was suppose to go and get it, someone else made the seller a higher offer. In the end, I wanted to cut down on car expenses, having to pay for my wife Ford flex plus maintaining my winter car (Magnum) and a new summer sport car was just too much money and would of cause financial stress. We needed a compromise solution and the challenger fit the bill; Large size seating 5, 4 seasons, low purchase cost & financing and still have a great look with above average performance with track capabilities. Hopefully I will get to love it.

Like with our Competition mode the R/T has sport mode and it improves the performance of it, more throtle response and once you deactivate the Traction control COMPLETELY it's hard to pull out of first gear without roasting the rear wheels.

Tell him to watch the steering rack and brake calipers as my buddy had constant problems with those on his.

Changes in model year 2015 and up; the steering-column-mounted electric power steering (EPS) system improves handling and performance, by modulating power assistance according to driving conditions; it is up to 3% more efficient than hydraulic systems, and reduces maintenance and repairs. The system is integrated with the stability control to help compensate in split-traction, torque steer and pull-drift (crowned road) situations.

Congrats on the Challenger. Great looking roomy car. Still a bummer about your SS and all the interest and enjoyment you had with it prior to it being stolen. I'm not sure I would go down the same road after all the time, money and enjoyment I have invested in my SS either.
