The 2021 Dodge Challenger R\/T Scat Pack Shaker and T\/A 392 are getting the widebody treatment! The cars are among the latest to receive the special Widebody Package from Dodge, which other Challenger models and the Charger both have. The Widebody Package isn’t just about looks either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The Widebody on Charger and Challenger continues to gain traction, making way for wider wheels and tires, which means more grip and faster times at the drag strip,” said Tim Kuniskis, Global Head of Alfa Romeo and Head of Passenger Cars \u2013 Dodge, SRT, Chrysler and FIAT, FCA \u2013 North America. “Bringing that Widebody capability to the Challenger R\/T Scat Pack Shaker and T\/A 392 allows us to stick to that successful formula and offer more performance to more members of the Brotherhood of Muscle.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Challenger R\/T Scat Pack Shaker and T\/A 392 both share the 6.4-liter Hemi V8. The naturally-aspirated engine creates 485 horsepower and 475 lb-ft. of torque. Buyers can pick between a Tremec six-speed manual or the TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Opting for the Widebody Package on either car will translate into an improvement of close to two seconds per lap, or 12 car lengths compared with the standard R\/T Scat Pack. According to Dodge, in a quarter-mile comparison, the Challenger R\/T Scat Pack Widebody gains .2 seconds, running a 12.1-second ET at 112 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Widebody Package adds 3.5 inches of overall width to accommodate the Pirelli tires (305\/35ZR20) and 20-by-11-inch wheels. As is typical with Dodge muscle cars, the latest Widebody variants ride on an SRT-engineered chassis with an SRT-tuned adaptive damping suspension.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
