What is a Muscle Car

What is a Muscle Car? Most people would describe a muscle car as a rear wheel drive, two door, large, overpowered, 4 seat, American car. There are three cars on the market right now that meet that description, but the 2019 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack is the most muscle car of all of them. I can prove it in only six words. 

Flares

Flares. For 2019 Dodge has graced the Scat Pack with the option of the fender flares first seen on the Scat Packs insane cousin, the Demon. The fender flares add so much to the exterior styling of the Challenger without detracting from the 70's inspired body line. Those fender flares also allow the Scat Pack to include really fat...

Tires

Tires. The new widebody treatment allowed the use of 305 section wide tires all around, the widest of any muscle car. Some might call a tire that wide excessive, but isn't that what muscle cars are all about? Those tires also have the benefit of improving handling and acceleration, and if you want, leaving some crazy wide burnout marks thank in part to its massive...

392

392. Ok so that isn't a word, but hear me out. The Scat Pack's 392c.i. engine (6.4L for non-Americans) puts down an amazing 485hp. You can do a lot of things with almost 500 horsepower, like get down the quarter mile in 12 seconds flat. It can do all this yet still manage to get 25 mpg highway. This means it can still be used as a...

Daily

Daily. The Challenger Scat Pack is a car that is as comfortable being a GT car and traveling across the country as it is at the drag strip. It's not trying to set the fastest time at Laguna Seca, it's a car that is meant for the street, to be driven every day. You need to be able to drive a muscle car to work to show it off and have your spine still intact when you get there. And it easy to show off in the Scat Pack because it's still available in...

Plum Crazy

Plum Crazy! Yes, that is two words, but its one beautiful color. As I said earlier muscle cars are all about extravagance. Big, loud engines, huge tires, and long hood lines. Why would you then want to try and blend into the crowd? Plum Crazy is one of the best colors for a muscle car there is, just beating out Green Go and Go Mango. Of course, you can choose whichever color you like when you buy one, and you too can buy one thanks to its...

Price

Price. The Challenger Scat Pack starts at $38,995. That is a lot of performance per dollar. If you are looking for the purest, rawest muscle car experience to either relive the muscle car golden era or see what it must have been like in the '70s, the Challenger Scat Pack is the best muscle car option.
