Overview
The Scat Pack in Dodge born in 1968 denotes a group of special high-performance cars that were capable of covering a quarter-mile in under 15 seconds. The Scat Pack flexes its muscles and the sound of its powerful engine and torque.
What is a Scat Pack?
The original group of Scat Pack cars are the Charger R/T and the Challenger R/T, which both of them are equipped with 392 Hemi Scat Pack trim. The SRT 392’s engine was developed and replaced by 392ci “Apache” Hemi boasting 470 hp from the 425 hp 6.1L Hemi. With further developments, the 392’s output increased to 485 hp when it debuted in the Dodge Scat Pack Charger and Challenger in 2015.
In 2015, for the first time both the SRT 392 Charger and Scat Pack Charger were offered at the same time, and there was a price gap of $7,390. What makes the Scat Pack Charger and Challenger differ from the SRT 392 models was, SRT 392’s larger and more expensive Brembo six-piston brakes, Nappa leather interior, 900-watt Harman-Kardon sound system, and Bilstein adaptive dampers.
Dodge’s president Tim Kuniskis said in a recent interview, The reason for their huge sales success is that customers more readily relate to drag racing than road course racing. As Drag Racing was the most common aspirational denominator for any form of racing, as enthusiasts loved its raw performance numbers.
