    Anyone know what the differences will be between these two Scat Pack Wide Body 392 R/T Challengers?

    Other than the availability of the shaker hood, I don't think there's anything new on the 2021.

    I was more interested in will there be any power increases or just any differences in options or what will be standard equipment that may have been options before etc.
    Is it 2022 or 2023 the last year of the current Challenger bodystyle and interior?

    Unless specs have changed (which they haven't), I don't see how there would be any gain/loss in performance.

    Time will tell I guess by New Years day or Fall 2021 for 2022 Challengers?

    I don't look for any additional power.

    Between the EPA and the global move to Electric Vehicles, I can't imagine that any companies are spending much money on developing more horsepower.

    The Helliphant engine still hasn't passed any of the emissions tests (which is why it's still a off-road only, crate only engine) so I don't see it being offered in a passenger car.

    My guess is that there MIGHT be an exhaust tweak here, an intake tweak there to make an extra 5 or 10 HP.

    Right now it's kind of weird ... there's a shortage of 2021 vehicles (one of the local dealers has zero V8s) ... but there are still 2020s sitting on lots. And you'd better be willing to travel if you're looking for a 6-speed because they're even harder than usual to come by.

    My dealer has more 2021 M6 Challengers than A8. No new 2020 models available.

    There is also a semi-conductor shortage there is a slowdown of production of new Challengers because Brampton was shut down.

    I am just curious as to what minor changes there might be on the 2022 SPWB R/T 392.:Frustrated:

    I was talking to a buddy of mine this morning and searching dealer inventory. Looks like there are only 4 or 5 (one is labeled as a 6-speed but it says it's a GT) 6-speeds in Jacksonville.

    There are even a couple of 50th Anniversary Challengers still hanging around.

    Didn't 50th Anniversary Challengers come out in 2020? Asking prices?
