Ford Focus RS vs Dodge Charger Scat Pack

First off, I normally wouldn't compare a hot hatch to a muscle car but in this case I'm going to because the RS could possibly be in the same price range. The Charger SP starts off around $38,500 and has 485hp.

So with that said let us know who you think the winner is in each of the following categories:

1. Interior Style
2. Interior Quality
3. Exterior Style
4. Power / Performance
5. Handling
6. Fuel Economy
7. Price

This is actually the only performance car I'm cross shopping because its a 4 door but I gotta lean towards the focus rs because it comes in manual. interior wise its probably even, both cars small back seats. Exterior styling I don't like the front end of the 2015 charger. Economy the focus (should) be better but we all know the ford turbos almost never hit their EPA estimated mpg. Handling will be all focus rs because the charger scat pack will weigh 4400+ lbs. Price wise dodge always discounts chargers heavily, like 8,000 grand off so you can probably get one for 35k OTD. Performance wise 0-60 will probably be even 0-60 in 4.2ish. Quarter mile the challenger scat pack guys are getting 12.5 at 113 stock and not on hero runs so the charger should be right there. If I had to guess based on the 2015 wrx sti running 13.1 at 104 I would have to say the RS should be able to do 12.9 at 108+ due to the extra 40ish hp it will have over the STI. Sorry for the long rant its just i hadn't even considered the RS since i never thought it'd come to the USA
