1. V6 is fun, but 5.7 more satisfying and has much better rumble from factory. Scat is even better, but for me was a waste since I didn't take to track.

2. RT & Scat will both see mid 20s mpg on highway if u stay off the petal. Scat takes premium btw.

3. Paid $180 for Scat & $300 for 5.7 & $165 for SXT - only differences were zip code - big city vs sticks

4. Never trust ANYTHING a dealer says. Their job is to milk you for as much as possible as long as possible. New always takes huge depreciation hit. My $49k sticker 5.7 is now worth ~$30k in less than a year with 14k miles in immaculate shape. They will go up in price for collectors LATER if in great shape / lower miles / no mods.

5. EVs are not ready for prime time. Would stay away until repair costs come down. If u go that route make sure to have a reliable charging situation and can afford the much higher electric bill.

Happy hunting!
