If you sit around reading reviews of the Hellcat, it may be easy to fall victim to the allure of a sub-$100,000 muscle car with more power than most mid-engine supercars. We found the Hellcat to be surprisingly livable if not a bit scary when pushed hard and it is certainly worthy of dream car status. But driving the Scat Pack has softened our opinion. After driving a Charger with "only" 485 hp, we found it to be more than adequate and in fact, far more usable out on the road.
Whereas the Hellcat lights up its rear tires with the smallest provocation, the Scat Pack is more effectively able to let you enjoy the power without worrying about crashing or going to prison. Even on a race track, it would take some long straights for the Hellcat to hold a tangible advantage and out on public roads at legal speeds, there is barely an appreciable difference in acceleration.
If it were our money, we'd gladly save more than $25,000 by getting the Scat Pack Widebody. We understand getting the Hellcat if money is no object but on a budget or otherwise, we prefer the Scat Pack.
