The Dodge Scat Pack models are big-block beasts that do what other muscle cars are afraid to do: offer an uncompromising blend of high-displacement V-8 performance, affordable pricing, and a premium interior experience, all while staying true to the genuine muscle-car formula. This trim, available on the now-discontinued Challenger and Charger, is most notable for unlocking the classic 6.4-liter HEMI engine.
Once you take a test drive at Frisco Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, other muscle cars will just seem boring.
The Dodge Scat Pack is a trim level for the Challenger and Charger. This name harkens back to old-school muscle cars and Frank Sinatra's Rat Pack. The first Dodge Scat Pack models came to be in the 1960s as a reference to the pop culture of the time; six decades later, the cars wearing that old-school name carry the same spirit of fury and fun. More performance features like premium brakes and high-performance suspension come standard – and of course, a 6.4-liter (392 cubic-inch) HEMI V-8 engine is there to power you down the road.
This is also a mid-level trim in terms of convenience and safety features – for example, a 2023 Dodge Charger Scat Pack comes with SRT Performance Pages and SRT Drive Modes, while the top-trim Hellcat models offer all that, plus upgrades like Laguna leather upholstery.
The Dodge Charger Scat Pack starts at $51,925 MSRP,1 and the Widebody version ups the price to $57,920.1 Compared to similarly powerful muscle cars, like the Ford Mustang Dark Horse, you'll find the price quite reasonable.
Removing two doors and a chunk of the cost, the Dodge Challenger Scat Pack starts with an MSRP of $49,265,1 and bumps to $57,260 with the Widebody package.1
The Challenger Scat Pack grabs attention like a drag radial grabs prepped pavement. This iconic coupe model has unique badging on its sport-centric grille, highlighting that you've got a big ole' HEMI engine up in there. The sports seats are race-inspired and comfortable for cruising.
The Charger highlights what makes the Dodge Scat Pack. Envelop your ride with iconic muscle from badging to grille design. Compared to the Challenger, the Charger boasts a rounder, more sedan-inspired, aerodynamic design with expertly crafted ridges that cloak its performative core.
As discussed, the Scat Pack engine is a 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 that provides either Scat Pack model with real muscle. Producing 485 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque, this powertrain is designed to make every straight shot memorable: the Scat Pack 0-60 time is just 4.3 seconds with the Challenger Widebody model.
