2018 DODGE CHALLENGER

If you've been searching for a 2018 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack for sale in Detroit, MI, your search ends here. Best of Michigan Auto Sales has this iconic American muscle car ready for its next owner — a rear-wheel-drive, V8-powered coupe that delivers the kind of raw, old-school performance that simply doesn't exist at this price point anywhere else in Wayne County.

About This 2018 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack

The Scat Pack is the sweet spot of the Challenger lineup — sitting above the standard R/T but delivering genuine supercar-embarrassing performance without the Hellcat price tag. With 124,853 miles on the odometer, this Challenger has been driven and enjoyed, which is exactly what cars like this are built for. The 6.4-liter HEMI is one of the most bulletproof V8 engines in modern production, and many Scat Pack owners regularly push well past 150,000 miles with proper maintenance. If you're looking for used muscle in Detroit, this is the kind of car that delivers legendary street presence and a driving experience you can't replicate in a crossover or a turbocharged four-cylinder.

2018 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack Performance and Engine

The 392 HEMI — 485 Horsepower of American Muscle

Under the hood sits Dodge's 6.4-liter HEMI V8, known internally as the 392, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission sending power to the rear wheels. This combination produces 485 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque — numbers that make the Scat Pack capable of a sub-4-second 0-60 mph run in the right conditions. The MDS (Multi-Displacement System) allows the engine to deactivate four cylinders during light cruising, improving highway fuel economy without sacrificing the full grunt when you plant the throttle.

The 8-speed automatic is a significant upgrade over the older 5-speed found in earlier Challengers, offering quicker, smoother shifts and better performance across the rev range. The rear-wheel-drive configuration stays true to the muscle car tradition, giving drivers the connected, planted feel that enthusiasts demand.

Dodge Challenger Scat Pack Features and Interior

Built for Performance, Not Stripped Out

The R/T Scat Pack trim comes loaded with performance and comfort features that make it a genuine daily driver as well as a weekend warrior. Expect Dodge's Uconnect infotainment system, sport performance seats with bolstering to hold you in place during hard cornering, a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters, and Dodge's Performance Pages — an in-dash display that lets you monitor real-time engine and performance data.

Standard on the Scat Pack are Brembo high-performance brakes, 20-inch wheels, and a three-mode drive system (Sport, Track, and Auto) that adjusts throttle response, transmission behavior, and traction control settings to match how you're driving. The cabin is wide and comfortable, with a rear seat that actually fits adult passengers — a genuine advantage over narrower competitors like the Mustang or Camaro.

Dodge Challenger Reliability and Ownership

What to Expect at 124,000 Miles

The 6.4-liter HEMI has a well-earned reputation for longevity. These engines are known to reach 200,000 miles and beyond with routine oil changes and basic maintenance. The 8-speed automatic is generally robust, though fluid changes matter more on high-performance applications. At this mileage, a prospective buyer should verify the condition of the rear tires (performance rubber wears faster), confirm the brakes have been serviced, and check for any engine codes.

Overall, the 2018 Challenger Scat Pack is widely regarded by owners and automotive journalists as one of the most reliable high-performance cars at its price point. Unlike European performance cars that demand expensive specialty service, this Dodge can be maintained at virtually any shop in Detroit or Wayne County.
