[QUOTE="Corbic, post: 16895511, member: 171475"] [ATTACH=full]1787029[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1787030[/ATTACH] I had a 1320 Scatpack. Beautiful car. Absolutely beautiful. Drove smooth and comfy. Took it from Michigan to AZ. Just outstanding. Never felt I needed Hellcat power. That said I got bored real quick. The Auto is stupid fast and accurate, but just... Boring.
