Perfect reliability at 55,700 miles

Like other reviewers, I'm a huge fan of the 2021 Widebody Scat Pack Challenger. Others have already testified to the spectacular looks and performance of this car. I have a manual transmission, and am convinced it's the reason I still have the car. Thieves broke the passenger-side window at my son's gym, but I think they were confounded by the stick! The upgraded Harman-Kardon stereo will delight any audiophile (you've gotta play classic rock in this car), but the real reason I wrote this review is to testify to the car's reliability. A Stellantis engineer told me they had a golden age in terms of build quality during 2019-2021. After that the new French parent company started farming out parts/systems to cheap sub-contractors, resulting in diminished reliability (witness the recent sharp drop in Stellantis sales). My experience says he was right -- my 2021 Challenger has been perfect. Despite having been pushed hard, at 55,700 miles it's needed no maintenance/repairs other oil and windshield wiper changes. 2019-2021 is the sweet spot for these cars. Get one if you can -- it'll put a smile on your face every time!

ICE Scat Pack

With nearly 50,000 miles on the OD, I think I qualify to give an honest long term review of the Dodge Challenger Scat Pack, so here it is: The Dodge Challenger Scat Pack is a capable daily driver, sport tourer, and street and strip car. As I live in Ohio, and this car is a true daily driver, it has taken me everywhere I have gone; rain, shine, sleet, and snow, day in, day out, for the past four years. My daughter and I did a 2,000 mile road trip, that included the 2022 Hot Rod Power Tour, where we saw average daily temperatures in the high 90s, and it performed without fail. Hours long traffic jams, waiting to get in the gates, and a very rare occasion, where the Alabama State Police waved a bunch of the faster cars in our group, to open up; my Scat was able to hit a recorded 183 mph on the highway (Helmets and other safety gear was worn.) Thanks to Blizzaks, I have not missed a days work due to weather, while using the Scat Pack in daily duty, driving to and from work. It is a head turner at cruise ins, Cars and Coffee, and during local track time. This has been one of the most versatile cars I have owned in nearly fifty years of car ownership. Thank you Dodge, this is the car Americans NEED to own at least once in their lifetime.
