With all the hype around the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon and Hellcat, many people have forgot about the Challenger R/T Scat Pack and Challenger SRT 392. Both are extremely capable, powerful, and fun muscle cars equipped with a honking 6.4-liter 392 Hemi V8.
The Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack is an absolute monster for an affordable price, starting at $40,590. When The Drive tested the Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack back in 2016, the window sticker of our nicely-equipped model read $43,795—still a great deal. But now that it has been on the market for a few years, lightly used versions are hitting lots, meaning a well-motivated buyer can find a Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack can be for less than $33K.
Before we dive into some serious deals, it is important to mention a few facts around the Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack. The 6.4-liter 392 Hemi V8 engine produces 485 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque, enough horsepower to shoot the 4,200-pound Challenger from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 4.3 seconds. In order to slow the Scat Pack down, Dodge opted to install four-piston Brembo brakes all around. Although the vehicle may be designed for speed, the adjustable suspension and 15 mile-per-gallon city/25 mpg highway rating also makes the Challenger R/T Scat Pack a great car for cruising down the highway. And whenever you want to feel some excitement, just stomp on the gas…and let the naturally-aspirated V8 scream.
