Drives great! Love the brakes and especially the way it handles. Staying under 3K RPM for easy break-in. Still fun to drive even at low revs. A little hard to get in/out of at 6'4" tall, 228 lbs. and 71 years old but so worth it! C8 lust is starting to fade away ......Tucked in under the 392 Scat Pack (6.4 liters for you metric types)

Nice! Some time back a friend of mine took a 392 Scat Pack for a quick ride at a local Dodge dealer, he was very open and more than happy to accommodate us even though we said up front we weren't buying and my friend actually lives in Australia. It was fun, we started with a Hellcat that needed to go to their back lot and then got to choose which 392 to take back to the main lot a couple of miles away.
Re. getting in and out of the 992, I'm a similar size albeit a little younger and the method I use is: left hand on door 'wedge' next to the outside mirror, right leg into dead pedal / footrest, drop backside into seat, swing left leg in. Getting out is much the same, using the dead pedal / footrest to push against. Works well and stops most of the seat side bolster wear - which I was getting a lot of early on. Hope this helps.

That is a bunch of Challengers! They must be quite popular Down Under. Here in Texas most folks drive full size pickups and little SUV's. We like Mopars ! We have the 392 and a 19 Jeep Wrangler 3.6 V6 and the new Ram 1500 5.7 liter Hemi 400 HP (Cowboy Cadillac)

Oops, should have said that photo was taken in Huntington Beach CA. They don’t make RHD Challengers so can’t buy them in Oz.
