Similar to comparing the 426 Hemi and 440 Six Packs of old, the Scat Pack model was released by Dodge as a way to create a street performance car that might not have the raw power of a supercharged engine but still had all the manners to go fast. The 2023 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack Widebody offered here shows a mere 68 miles on its odometer. The Widebody option was often chosen to allow for the potential of larger tires, and this car features that.
Underneath its power bulge hood is a 392 CI Hemi V-8 engine rated at 485 HP at 6,100 RPM. A displacement number long revered in Mopar circles since it was formerly the largest displacement offered in the Hemi’s first generation (1957-58), it certainly lives up to that heritage with excellent street characteristics and power whenever it is needed. Many traditional Mopar owners chose this normally aspirated mill as a result. Likewise, similar to the A833 New Process 4-speeds of yesterday, shifting here is left up to the driver. That meant selecting the overdrive-equipped Tremec 6-speed manual transmission. Nonetheless, it is fully modern underneath, complete with the Widebody-option competition suspension with adaptive damping, factory Line Lock, all-speed traction control, electronic stability control, Launch Control with Launch Assist, and the Last Call underhood plaque. Brembo disc brakes slow it down.
Outside is White Knuckle paint and fender flares, spoilers and a power sunroof. Inside are black and red Alcantara and Nappa seats featuring centered Scat Pack logos. The power tilt and telescopic steering column is topped by a flat-bottom steering wheel, while the Technology Group includes rain-sensitive wipers and automatic high-beam control and the Harman Kardon Audio Group features a GreenEdge amplifier, 18 speakers, surround sound and a subwoofer. Other features include pushbutton start, dual-zone climate control and heated and ventilated front seats. The Widebody 20×11, split five-spoke, low-gloss black wheels wear Pirelli P-Zero tires.
