They claim 700hp at the crank and then, all the way at the bottom, says “Hellcat killer!”.

Uh, what? Seems pretty close to the power of a Hellcat haha. Clowns.

I’ve always liked the look of the Shaker and miss mine like crazy. Maybe one day I’ll do a procharged Shaker, it just won’t look like that haha.

And it’s got similar cf flares that have been so popular in the classifieds as well. 100k, exactly how many are included in that auction?

It is not a bad build. Personal taste really does lower the value.

The engine is not even forged. 600 hp at the wheels, may go boom very soon. Pushing the limits of the top ring lands.

I first thought that this was a late April Fool's joke until I saw the link! :)

I wouldn't pay $100k for Any Scat Pack but the saying goes: "There's a butt for every seat!" Good Luck to the seller but I think that they're going to be disappointed, especially when you could buy a brand new Redeye for that money and have money left for mods AND a warranty.

Yeah, they won't get 80k for that car. It's a rice rocket, worth about 42k, in my opinion. It says it has a ProCharger, but they didn't say it had the pistons swapped. Knowing how EASY it is to install a ProCharger, they have 4-6 hours of labor installing that, the BOV and Intercooler. Then, all they did was put an exhaust on it, tune it, and dyno it.

Every bit of the rest of that car is more or less useless in terms of functionality. Brembo vs. Baer brakes... eh. Same thing, different color brake dust. Then, you have all that rice rocket crap all over the car. I personally think it's tasteless. But, as others said... someone will buy it. Maybe. I remember when the story broke about this car at the 2019 SEMA show and how someone stole it. I immediately said then, and I still believe it now, that thief did them a favor.

When this thing was made, it was unique because there was no such thing as a WB Scat. Now, there's WB R/Ts, Scat Packs. You can just go buy one, new, with a warranty for a lot cheaper and without a side of fried rice.

Honestly considering this was a sema build with clearly no expense spared it has to be worth a lot of money to the right buyer. Cosmetically speaking it is an acquired taste to say the least but for something to be sitting at sema and to never be used given it only has 300 miles it's a one of a kind hot rod that some mopar junkie will shell the dough out for. Just because it's not an easy sell doesn't mean it's worth less it's worth whatever some rich nut job is willing to pay.

Not all SEMA builds are "good." This build, in my opinion, is a widebody conversion before such things became factory and/or aftermarket mainstream. Then, they slapped a bunch of stick on carbon fiber pieces on it. That's pretty much all they did. Not to mention the fact that the rubes who built it boosted a 6.4L without swapping the pistons. Everything about that build to me screams "We spent thousands so we could put wider wheels and tires on it."

Then, the world and the factory at large started offering widebody kits. It's an obsolete car at this point with a ricer grade look and a glass jaw engine. To achieve the same look, buy an RT widebody, put a 7k ProCharger on it and the carbon fiber stick on flares of your choice. Easily for 20-30 grand less and it'll be reliable.

They've been trying to sell this car for 3 years.

Would you pay $100,000 for this monstrosity
In Oct 2019 it was stolen at SEMA and wrecked. Last line on their eBay page says "This was the car that was completed and then stolen for a joy ride at SEMA at chased by police. It was completely repaired to better than original! Title is 100% clean, not branded or rebuilt."
Stolen and wrecked custom Dodge Challenger is a smash hit at Las Vegas auto show. .
