Dodge-Scat-Pack-Packages

To Dodge muscle and motorsports enthusiasts, Steve Magnante requires no introduction. A former Hot Rodmagazine editor and an expert TV commentator on the collector car auction scene, Steve is a walking encyclopedia of Dodge technical knowledge and lore.

In the video below, Steve joins presenter Christy Lee to walk us through the hot new Scat Pack performance packages, starting first with a brief history of the original Scat Pack concept of the late 1960s.

In the golden age of muscle cars, Dodge was usually found at the head of the pack. The latest Scat Packs are designed to maintain that performance leadership.
