485-hp 392ci Hemi V-8 engine developed by Dodge SRT mated to either a six-speed Tremec manual transmission (Challenger coupe only) or eight-speed TorqueFlite automatic with paddle shifters.We're at the end of the road with high-powered ICE engines, so if a Hemi is what you've always craved and you like the value proposition of the 485-hp 392ci Hemi-powered Dodge Scat Pack, what are you waiting for?

Alternatively, one can bite the bullet on whatever remains of dealer inventory (usually full of bloat options) or getting a used one and paying a smidgen less. For the moment, the best deal seems to be special-ordering a new Scat Pack ($43k gets the job done) and waiting however long it takes.

To be honest, there is no substitute for what a Dodge Scat Pack does. The same goes for a Camaro (which recently became available in LT trim with a 455-hp 6.2-liter V-8 and an MSRP of $35,195). Other domestic manufacturers nibble at the edges a Cadillac can do the same thing, but at what cost? A Mustang GT is arguably a faster car for the same price but forget about taking the family on a longer trip. If you're looking for a good ol' slice of American V-8 muscle-car pie, with room for American-sized people on wide-open American-sized roads, there really is no other choice than a Hemi-powered Dodge. We found no used Dodge Scat Pack 1320s for sale the day we checked on eBay but a special-order quote for a Scat Pack 1320 on came in at $44,410 (well-optioned at $49,660). Moving up to a widebody Challenger Scat Pack produces even more bizarre results with the average cost for a used widebody running at $50k where a new base-model widebody Scat Pack Challenger rings in at just $48,220 (A well-optioned widebody Challenger Scat Pack tops out at $59,135). We found the average used price for a 2015-2020 narrow-body Challenger Scat Pack to be $39k (A brand new one configured on the website rings in at $42,895 for a base model and $56,725 for a well-optioned narrow-body).

The first broad-stroke observation is that used standard-body Scat Pack Challengers are by far the most prevalent in the used-car market compared to all other Dodge Scat Pack models (widebody variants, 1320, and Charger). In normal times when there isn't a lack of inventory in dealer showrooms, the price of a used car is significantly less than that of a new car, but a survey of used 2015-to-2020 Dodge Scat Packs on eBay Motors relative to the cost a new one on provides some surprising insights. The term 'scat' imparts additional meaning from the free-spirited improvisational vocalizations of jazz singers like Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, and Cab Calloway, and is echoed in Chrysler's flamboyant color pallet popularized by the youth anti-establishment art and culture movements of the 1960s. Substituting 'rat' with the rhyme 'scat' emphasized the speed with which those partying antics could unfold. The name Scat Pack is a play on the ' Rat Pack,' a revolving group of postwar Hollywood entertainers known for their partying antics.

Norm's Grand Spaulding Dodge big-block Dart GSS and Dodge's Dodge Rebellion ad campaign of 1967 (a series of ads loosely promoting Dodge performance vehicles) the Dodge Scat Pack became a recurring fixture for Dodge through the 1971 model year, though none of these cars were actually given the name 'Scat Pack.' Within the original group of Scat Pack cars are the two names central to today's Dodge Scat Pack: the Charger R/T and the Challenger R/T, both available in 392 Hemi-equipped Scat Pack trim. The Dodge Scat Pack was initially a collection of three 1968 Dodge models: the Dodge Charger R/T, the Dodge Coronet R/T, and the Dodge Dart GTS.
