2023 Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack

The 2023 Charger is a full-size four-door muscle sedan, one of the last of its kind, offered with everything from a frugal V6 to a supercharged V8. Its main rivals are the Chrysler 300 and the now-discontinued Ford Taurus, but the Charger stands apart with its available V8 power and rear-wheel-drive layout. The Charger drives with the confidence of a muscle car, offering strong acceleration and a throaty exhaust note, especially in V8 form. The ride is firm, especially with the performance suspension, but the front seats are supportive and the cabin stays quiet at highway speeds. The cabin is spacious with a large trunk, and the dashboard layout is straightforward with physical controls for the climate and audio systems. Stepping up from the R/T to the R/T Scat Pack swaps the 5.7-liter V8 for the 6.4-liter V8, along with a high-performance suspension, Brembo brakes, and SRT drive modes. The 6.4L V8 makes 485 horsepower and sends it through an automatic transmission to the rear-wheel drive, delivering strong, immediate throttle response and a deep exhaust note. The Scat Pack's active exhaust lets you quiet the V8 for early mornings or open it up for full volume, and the Line Lock launch control helps you nail consistent drag-strip starts.
