Is a 2021 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack a BETTER muscle car than a Mustang?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The Challenger has something New for 2021 but Dodge also continues the Muscle Car war. Under the hood is a 6.4L Hemi V8 that is pumping out 485HP & mated to a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission. On the outside of the Scat Pack wide body you will find 3in of extra wide, 20x11in wheels, and Brembo calipers just to name a few things. On the inside you will find more room than any of its competitors. Is a 2021 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack a BETTER muscle car than a Mustang?

I have a 2019 Mustang GT. I still admire other muscle cars for what they are. Drive what you like. No matter what you drive, there will always be someone faster than you on the road. Cheers!

I've owned a 2018 Mustang GT and now a 2021 Challenger 392 Scat Pack. Both great cars. Honestly I'd go with whichever car you can get for cheaper as they're both different but equally as good.

I bought one yesterday. 2021 Scat Pack widebody with T/A pkg, tech, plus, convenience pkgs. Loaded! It's an amazing car and I've had close to 100 cars and other SRT's. As solid as any car I've ever been in! For the price there is nothing better in the market!
It really is the funnest car I've ever owned. I was so hesitant to pull the trigger and was torn between the scat pack and the gt. Once I got behind the wheel I knew the challenger was for me. I haven't once regretted the decision.

Mustang might be quicker, handle better, and be more cost effective - but the Challenger just has more soul. You'll hear terms like "unrefined" "aged platform" "boat". To each their own, and its the only old, unrefined boat I want. 😅

Thanks for this review, Joe!! You reminded me why I bought a new Scat Pack Challenger with the Shaker Hood Package 4 months ago. I just love it! I can testify that its cavernous trunk, easy chair seats and spectacular power make it a great GT car as well. I’m 69 and I remember well the first muscle car era; this car really brings those days back; it looks almost exactly like a 1970 Hemi ‘Cuda. It’s so gorgeous!

Your absolutely correct how do I know, cause I had a 2015 Scat Pack and a 2018 Widebody Hellcat. From a dig it was near impossible to launch the Hellcat, if your at a stoplight and a possible run is next to you, you just can't do it, you will be fruitlessly spinning your wheels, sure the Hellcat has the name and the status and believe me got tons of thumbs up, controlling it was another story. In a 1/8 mile drag race, in stock form, the Scat will win every time. The Scat has more usable, tractable power, and having both, I know. I'm really considering getting a wide body Scat.

picked up my 2021 scat pack 2nd of Jan...

Not only does this capture the true image of a muscle car the best, but the White Knuckle color just makes it look so majestic. I'd love to get one of these, but I have to wait and see what the refresh brings in a few years. Something tells me they won't change that much on the exterior considering it's nearly perfect in my opinion, but the interior will probably get the same treatment as the newly refreshed Durango's interior.
