Wow, I wanted to see a race, not a 13 minute vlog. Nevermind I guess....
I agree but it isnt hard to move slider to the right to get to the good stuff. Lol

Can you imagine what a RWD Hellcat Dart would do? It would be an in house Demon killer.
While i agree a bump in power is never a bad thing, i think they’re still holding their own even against the latest and greatest 5.Bros.
Funny to see all the good comments. Most around here clowned it when this design was first released calling it a baby dart.
Good luck adding more than 5 or 6 PSI of boost to a Scat Pack.i wish i had the 4 vids of my buddys and i running our stock s197s against 2 big bully scats. A bump in power would make me think twice before running with em, until then im not worried.

SRT8 has mag ride, interior upgrades, etc. Scat Pack is like the LX Ford wont build anymore. My 17 SP stickered for $39K for a 485 HP V8 with an 8 speed auto. SRT8s are $50K+, and heavier
How do you like the Challenger?The 6.4 Hemi/8 speed combo is outstanding for the money. Budget in Omaha rents both the Mustang GT and the Challenger R/T Scat Pack. Never thought I'd see the day you could rent a car with almost 500 hp for $300/week. Although you do have to sign a tire damage waiver Last time I rented one it was Orange, so couldn't help myself.

Overall I loved the car. Definitely needs more tire (stock is 245/45's), and the rental cars don't come with any sort of premium rubber. Wants to go sideways with any sort of aggressive throttle but it's very controllable. With the 6.4 it felt faster than the last 2017 Mustang I rented. Way more interior and trunk room than either the new Mustang or Camaro. Handles okay but not great. EVERYONE comments on the car.How do you like the Challenger?
The Scat is the better performance per dollar car in both the challenger and charger than the SRT variant. The ONLY thing I miss is the better wheels and tires. But that can be remedied for much less than the cost difference. Not to mention you can get the Dynamics package on the scat that comes with the brakes and tires same as the HC. The SRT392 cars should have been discontinued in 2014 when the SCAT an HC got redesigned.
As mentioned, Dodge really beat the ever living shit out of all their models. Most can be nearly identical depending on the options.
The Daytona comes with the dynamics package as a standard option, which is optional for the Scat Packs, that includes the 6 piston Brembo brakes and 9" rims instead of 8" on the non dynamics Scat Packs.
Also gets the 6.4l V8’s as opposed to the 5.7, suspension, exhaust and Brembo’s if I remember correctly. In addition to a new hood, front bumper etc...So, does any of the info you guys have been giving also mean that the SRT 392 Durango is the "real deal"? It's not "just" a V8 Durango with a badge on the fender?

I actually own a 2017 Scat. My car is not a base base car. It has everything but the tech package. So I have suede everything, nav, moon roof, A8 and so on. I also have heated and cooled seats. The SCAT comes with more than a base SXT. You are really missing the wheels and tires. There is not much else you cant get in the scat but like you said, the laguna leather. And my car was $47k sticker compared to a similarly equiped SRT which was close to $55k. For $8k you could get some badass brakes, wheels and tires and then some. I do wish I had the SRT hood though. But I love my scat. I DD it about 60 miles a day. In all weather but snow. The car is comfortable and fast. Much better than the 17 Mustang GT auto i had. More room and more power plus like said above, everyone snaps their necks looking and starting convos on it when I stop for gas. The mustang never got a second look. Now if I could get a HC, I'd do it in a second. This car with 220 more HP would be a blast.The Scat pack is essentially a 2014 SRT carried over as a no frills way to get a 392. There was no dynamics package offered in 15/16 so you were stuck with the smaller brakes and skinny wheels & tires. The Scat pack also doesn’t come with leather interior, HID headlights, or remote start as standard equipment, and no way to get the premium laguna leather interior in the SP. The 3 mode SRT suspension is a big plus. It also has a lot of little differences in the interior; a thick flat bottom steering wheel, different seat cover design, red start button, different gauge layout, SRT performance pages, track mode, etc. You also get a track day at Bondurant with the purchase of an SRT similar to the track attack offered with the Boss 302 & GT350. Like someone else mentioned, the SP is like an LX fox body, great entry level value but once you start optioning it up equal to the standard features on the SRT, the price gap closes real fast.

Awesome man. Thanks for your input!Overall I loved the car. Definitely needs more tire (stock is 245/45's), and the rental cars don't come with any sort of premium rubber.

Basically if I just wanted a fun road trip car and didn't do track days this (or a Hellcat) would be it.
Good luck adding more than 5 or 6 PSI of boost to a Scat Pack.

and here i was imagining a big turbo 6.4The 6.4 hypereutectic piston has a very narrow top ring land and therefore doesn't tolerate boost well. The 6.2L Hellcat piston has considerably more meat above the ring land. Plus it's forged of course.
