Overview
Dodge is expanding its Widebody Package with the Challenger Scat Pack 392 Shaker and T/A 392.
“The Widebody on Charger and Challenger continues to gain traction, making way for wider wheels and tires, which means more grip and faster times at the drag strip,” said Tim Kuniskis of Dodge North America. “Bringing that Widebody capability to the Challenger Scat Pack 392 Shaker and T/A 392 allows us to stick to that successful formula and offer more performance to more members of the Brotherhood of Muscle.”
Features

Details
Both models--Challenger Scat Pack 392 Shaker and T/A 392--are powered by a naturally aspirated 392 HEMI V-8 with 485 horsepower and 475 lb.-ft. of torque. The TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission comes standard; a Tremec six-speed manual transmission is available.
The Widebody on the Challenger Scat Pack 392 is extended by 3.5 inches in width. It includes sticky 305/35ZR20 Pirelli tires on 20-by-11-inch wheels, an SRT-tuned chassis and SRT-tuned high-performance adaptive damping suspension.
The Widebody also features steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters (with automatic transmission), dual-extractor hood, SRT Performance Pages with drive modes. A Line Lock engages the front brakes to hold the Challenger stationary, leaving the rear wheels free for a burnout to heat up and clean the rear tires.
The Challenger Scat Pack 392 Shaker’s history goes back to the 1970 original muscle car era. The legendary cold-air grabbing Shaker extends from the engine compartment, directing cooler air back into the 392 HEMI V-8 engine.
Like the original 1970 Challenger R/T with the Shaker hood, the Scat Pack 392 Shaker Widebody continues the Dodge brand’s tradition of an engine-mounted hood scoop that “shakes” with the movement of the powertrain.
