Challenger R/T Scat Pack Shaker Gets Widebody Option In 2021:
Shaker Widebody, Is Now Open For Orders...
The Dodge brand announced earlier today, that it would be expanding its Widebody Package option for the Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack to include two popular heritage models for the 2021 model year. The models include the R/T Scat Pack Shaker and the T/A 392 buzz models. The news comes after the success of the limited edition 2020 Dodge Challenger 50th Anniversary Edition Widebody models, which were based on the R/T Scat Pack Widebody trim and added the iconic Shaker hood to that package.
Not only are both cars powered by the naturally aspirated 6.4-liter (392 cubic-inch) HEMI V8 delivering 485 horsepower and 475 lb.-ft. of torque, but for those who are a fan of banging gears a 6-speed TR-6060 Tremec manual transmission is standard. Of course, there is an optional 8-speed 8HP70 Torque-Flite automatic transmission as well. If your Challenger is equipped with the optional automatic transmission, steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters are also added.
The Widebody Package adds 3.5-inches (8.8-centimeters) to the width of the car, sticky 305/35ZR20 Pirelli performance tires wrapped on a set of 20-inch x 11-inch aluminum wheels, as well as an SRT performance-tuned chassis with SRT high-performance adaptive suspension. The cars will also be equipped with SRT Performance Pages with drive modes, as well as a standard Line-Lock feature which engages the front brakes to hold the Challenger stationary, but leaves the rear wheels free for a burnout to heat up and clean the rear tires.
The 2021 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack Shaker Widebody model features unique throwback muscle-car cues that link directly to Dodge brand’s performance legacy. As the model name suggests, the legendary “cold-air grabbing” Shaker not only looks good with its Satin Black center-mounted hood scoop, snorkeling up from the engine compartment, it also directs cooler air back into the 6.4-liter (392 cubic-inch) HEMI® V8 engine. And like the original 1970 Challenger R/T with the Shaker hood, the 2021 model continues the Dodge tradition of an engine-mounted hood scoop that “shakes” with the powertrain’s movement.
The 2021 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack Shaker Widebody includes the following equipment over the standard R/T Scat Pack Widebody model…
- “Shaker” Under Hood Decal
- Shaker Mounted 392 HEMI Badge
- SHAKER Instrument Panel Badge
- Gloss Black Instrument Cluster Trim Rings
- Shaker Hood by Mopar®
- Shaker Intake by Mopar®
- Satin Black Rear Spoiler
- White Face Instrument Cluster
Buyers who opt for the Widebody Package will get the same Widebody performance as the R/T Scat Pack Widebody, which includes improvement of close to 2-seconds per lap or 12 car lengths compared with the non-Widebody R/T Scat Pack. In a quarter-mile comparison, the Challenger R/T Scat Pack Widebody gains .2-seconds, running a 12.1-second ET at 112 mph (180 km/h).
The Challenger R/T Scat Pack Shaker Widebody has a starting U.S. Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $47,690 (all prices exclude $1,495 destination charge). For Canadians, the MSRP is $63,495 (all prices exclude $1,895 destination charge).
