Those mountains behind you. Spectacular! The car is nice too

I bought this exact car 10 hours ago. Spent 5 hours at the financing department lol. I don’t care what anyone says...this car is powerful as hell. Handles terribly in the rain/snow though unless you get custom tires

The car has 5 miles on it. No one has had it on the highway. Someone has most likely got the top speed to 68 MPH in a parking lot.

Just hit 500 miles with my scatpack, time to have fun with launch control. Driving in ECO isn’t bad, got my “distance until empty” up to 299 miles lol. Awesome review Ben.

As far as the "jumpy" throttle goes, the ECM will eventually learn your driving habits and automatically adjust the throttle response while in default mode... aside from you making changes yourself using other modes. In fact, there are some who prefer that punch of torque they felt when they left the dealer... this can be re-had simply by pulling fuse #31 (for the ECM) for a few minutes, which will reset the ECM to what it was before it learned your habits.

I own one. You actually have a lot of leg room in the back. That passenger seat is roled almost all the way back.

That dealer is high as hell selling it for 47. That’s used Hellcat prices. My local dodge has a 2020 scat pretty much identical for 38.

Good review as usual Ben! I recently (Summer 2022) traded up from my RT Shaker to a 2021 narrow body Scat Pack with The 8 speed Automatic. Awesome acceleration performance, and the SRT Dashboard is sweet....

Man I could watch this cars vids every day, planning to get mine in November for the holiday and 4th quarter rebates.

I'm buying a 2021 Scat Pack this weekend... Love it.

The leather stitching on the dash definitely looks way nicer than the “elephant skin” material on my 2019

I have a 2015 Phantom Black Challenger Scat Pack I bought new. I love this car and have had no problems at all. i don't kill it but I do have fun every time I drive it. My Factory performance app shows 0-60 in 4.7 seconds and 0-100 in 11.9 seconds.

If you're considering this vs a mustang or camaro here are the basic facts.
+Challenger is the best at what it does. Which is going in a straight line
+Challenger is the most comfortable
+Challenger has the most power
+Challenger has the most trunk space and legroom
+Challenger feels like a true muscle car compared to the others which feel more like sports cars.
-Challenger is a lot heavier than the others
-Challenger doesn't handle quite as well as the others
-Challenger feels like a one trick pony at times
-Challenger Scatpack is more expensive than the other two. If you opt for the lower RT trim that's about the same price as the competition you lose a lot of power.
+-?Challenger has worse fuel economy because it has more power and weight. Not sure if that's a bad thing considering no one buying a muscle car cares about this.
Overall it's a great car and feels more true to the classic muscle car but that doesn't come with some downsides.

This is the second review of the Challenger Scat Pack where the reviewer tried awkwardly to climb in the back seat from the driver's side, who does that? It was probably Ben Hardy reviewing a different year Scat Pack. Normal people get in the back seat from the passenger side. When you pull the seatback forward, you can pull the whole seat forward without dicking around with the adjustment mechanism from that side. Also, if you don't get the 6 spd. manual, you're missing half the fun.

I want this car, same color and everything

[SeanBond]

You did a great review on the Scat Pack! Nicely done Ben.✌👍

[Jeff-orem]

Can’t wait for my 2020 Scat pack 50th anniversary trim to arrive in spring. It will have a shaker hood .

[keytothegate]

This looks way more elegant than the wide body. I would also not spec the sunroof as I think a continuous line looks better

[corythomas]

Just got mines a couple of days ago. This thing is a BEAST

[Kidd-nqfg]

I have a Challenger the seats can move forward comfortable for 4 adults
