Dodge’s new 550-horsepower Charger Scat Pack borrows a nameplate that goes back to 1969 — but the original “Six Pack” didn’t have six cylinders at all, it had six carburetor barrels bolted to a 440 V8. A week of real-world commuting captured with binaural microphones shows what the twin-turbo namesake actually delivers: a 3.7-second 0-60 time and a driving experience nobody expects from a car named after a decades-old carburetor joke.
Dodge hid its rarest 1968 big-block under the skin of its cheapest compact, and only 991 buyers ever got the 383-and-four-speed combination. Jay Leno tracked one down for his own personal collection, not a guest’s car passing through. Here’s why a plain-looking Dart could out-run muscle cars twice its size.
2026 Dodge Charger SIXPACK Scat Pack Review: 550 HP Twin-Turbo Fury Proves the Muscle Car Isn’t Dead
Dodge tried going all-electric with the Charger Daytona, and enthusiasts made their disappointment clear. For 2026, the brand is walking part of it back — dropping the Hemi V8 but also the electric-only approach, in favor of a 3.0L twin-turbo inline-six making up to 550 horsepower under a legendary name pulled straight from 1970s Mopar history: SIXPACK. At around $55,000 for the Scat Pack trim, this is Dodge’s answer to enthusiast backlash. Watch to see whether it actually delivers.
