Supercharged Dodge Challenger V6 Races 392 Scat Pack With Painful Result

The story with the V8 toy that battled its highly-modded V6 sibling is simple: we're dealing with a 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack that comes in factory form, sending its 485 hp and 475 lb-ft (644 Nm) of twist to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic.

As for the build that brought us here, it is a 2016 Challenger that still sports an unopened engine (thanks to the factory forged rods), even though it has gone through a block, as well as some pistons and rods over the years.

Thanks to a centrifugal supercharger, the horsepower number of the 3.6-liter V6 has jumped from 305 to well over 500 ponies (its owner claims the unit delivers around 470 hp at the wheels). And while the factory torque value sits at 268 lb-ft (364 Nm), it is now close to 470 lb-ft (637 Nm) at the crank (just under 400 lb-ft/542 Nm at the wheels). As for the automatic transmission of the vehicle, it has been massaged by Paramount Performance.

To understand this build, one must consider we're dealing with a project that stands out among a constantly increasing number of Challengers out there.

The machine features plenty of work outside the engine bay, from the Brembo brakes sitting behind the custom wheels, which are shod in Mickey Thompson Street Comp rubber, to the rear seat delete that allowed for a 4-point chassis-mounted roll cage to be installed along with the also chassis-strapped rear diffuser.

Note that the piece of footage below, which comes from YouTuber RacerX, the owner of the Scat Pack, showcases the boosted V6 build at the 2:00 mark. As for the racing action (please don't engage in such street fights and head over to the track instead), the five-run battle kicks off at the 13:25 timestamp.
