Limited slip differential, performance brakesĪpple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, 8.4-inch touch screen Though the car does cost lesser than most of its mainstream rivals, the optional packages will get the price up pretty quickly making it quite expensive.Īggressive sporty seats, dual-zone automatic climate controlįunctional hood scoop, high-performance suspension For interior extras, we get the Dynamics Package and Carbon/Suede interior which add the said materials to the cabin. The car comes with standard dual-zone automatic climate control and power-adjustable front seats. There are a lot of optional packages that add visual extras like the Daytona edition and the Blacktop package.
For passenger entertainment, we have an 8.4-inch touch screen with a premium 19-speaker stereo system. The hood scoop on the car isn’t just for showing off and severs a purpose. The Scat Pack gets exclusively designed 20-inch alloy wheels, a sports suspension, and a limited-slip differential. Still, for a brief shining moment, the Scat Pack demonstrated what could be accomplished with just a little creativity and a lot of horsepower, and paved the way for its own revival many decades later.The Dodge Charger Scat Pack is a high-performance trim that gets extra hardware to support the immense V8 power. So successful was the entire initiative that Plymouth got into the act with its "Rapid Transit System," which would run from 1970 to 1972, and included the 'Cuda, the GTX, the Superbird, the Duster 340, and the Roadrunner.īut 1973 spelled doom for most American muscle cars, as insurance concerns and emissions regulations slowly choked the life out of large V8s - a sad state of affairs that would last until the mid-'80s. By 1970, the family had grown to include the Charger Daytona and the Dodge Challenger, and when the final year of the Scat Pack came to pass, the Dodge Demon 340 was also included.

The Scat Pack logo was a variation on the drag-racing Super Bee found on, well, the Dodge Super Bee, and collectively the group of cars was referred to as "the hive." The marketing team went on the warpath, blanketing dealerships, magazines, and television with references to Scat City and the full line-up of Scat Pack cars. For the money, members received a monthly newsletter, a quarterly magazine, a wallet card declaring their loyalty, a bumper sticker, a jacket patch, and a racing guide. It was a play on words - the Rat Pack had been Sinatra's gang of Hollywood pals that became legendary for their partying and the pictures they made together - and as such Dodge also created an actual Scat Pack Club that both car owners and Mopar fans could join for the very affordable price of $3. The problem was put to the talented team at the Ross Roy Ad Agency, which came up with the idea of the "Scat Pack" designation that would encompass all of these cars.
What was missing, however was a way to unify each of these uniquely named models under a single, world-beating banner - an issue that would only get worse with the introduction of the Dodge Super Bee mid-year. A 340-cubic-inch Dart Swinger was also available, and of course 426 Hemi power was also in the cards for all three models. By the time 1968 rolled around, Dodge was in the catbird seat with its line-up of fierce street machines, including the Dodge Coronet R/T, the Dodge Charger R/T, and the Dodge Dart GTS, each of which could be ordered with an (underrated) 375-horsepower, 440-cubic-inch V8 under the hood. The late '60s represented the fiercest period of competition between the Big Three (and to a lesser extent, AMC) for the attentions of speed-thirsty American buyers.
