    Vroom is selling a 2019 Scat Pack Widebody, with 5,295 miles, for $52K.

    It has an SRT badge, Demon hood and Demon wheels.

    Would you consider this a poser car?

    I hit a deer and had to replace my hood. I have an SXT Plus and my buddy said I should put a Demon hood on it. Problem is that you can’t buy a OEM Demon hood if you don’t already own a Demon, you have to buy aftermarket, such as carbon fiber, and I personally never saw a carbon fiber hood fit right.

    I also think the Hellcat Redeye hood looks better. In the end I just got an OEM SXT Plus hood and had it custom painted.

    That's because it has the original SRT engine. Before the Scat Pack, you could only get a 392 in an SRT model.

    That a pretty high sticker price for 5k miles. At least for here. And honestly i like the Stock Scat Pack hood on mine better than this. I also am weird and do not like the widebody.

    Agree. It is not an SRT model.

    I would say 'no' to being a poser. That's an impressive machine no matter what.

    With so many styles, colors, options available from Dodge, only the hard core Challenger folks would even notice anything. Your average car guy, never mind the regular Joe's on the street, just say 'cool car'.

    Now this is a real poser. A guy with an SXT, near me, slapped an SRT badge on his rear spoiler.

    ^^^ Even though minor, those misrepresented badges 'bug me' too. Not sure why but they do.

    In the Trans Am world, it's owners putting on WS6 badges on Firebirds of all types. Not cool. :nono:
