2021 Dodge Challenger: nine models, from V-6 to Super Stock

This record's own dek describes 2021 as the year of nine models from a 303-hp V-6 to the 807-hp Super Stock, with Widebody now reaching the Scat Pack Shaker and T/A 392. This record's own overview lists the nine models: SXT and GT with rear- or all-wheel drive at 303 hp, the R/T at 375 hp, the R/T Scat Pack at 485 hp and 475 lb-ft, the SRT Hellcat at 717 hp, the SRT Hellcat Redeye at 797 hp, and the Widebody-only SRT Super Stock at 807 hp, with the 8HP90 automatic standard on the Redeye and Super Stock.¹

Widebody became available on the R/T Scat Pack Shaker at $47,690 and the T/A 392 at $49,090, both before $1,495 destination, per this record's own overview, with Dodge claiming a 12.1-second quarter mile at 112 mph for the Widebody versions, a figure this record's own performance section carries. This record's own overview also states that no 2021 model-year production figure was found, with FCA's Q4 2022 report giving 54,314 US Challenger sales for calendar 2021 reused as the best available substitute.^2,3

This record's own production section carries only that single calendar-year sales row, and its own note explains that the figure was taken from the following year's prior-year column because the original Q4 2021 release's own table was a PDF chart not read for this record; its own production notes state plainly that no 2021 model-year production total or trim counts were found anywhere in a Chrysler or FCA source.³

Five engines are documented: the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 at 303 hp, the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 at 375 hp, the 6.4-liter (392) HEMI V-8 at 485 hp and 475 lb-ft, the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V-8 at 717 hp on the standard Hellcat, and the supercharged high-output 6.2-liter HEMI carrying two ratings in this record, 797 hp on the Redeye and 807 hp under the Super Stock calibration. Three transmissions are documented: the Tremec six-speed manual, standard on the R/T, R/T Scat Pack and SRT Hellcat, the TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic, standard on most models, and the TorqueFlite 8HP90, standard on the Redeye and Super Stock.¹

This record documents an extensive options list, including Widebody's new availability on the Scat Pack Shaker and T/A 392, the 1320 drag package, and lettered equipment groups spanning Alcantara, Alpine and Harman Kardon audio, Laguna leather, and Shaker, T/A and Painted Black Satin Graphics appearance packages. Fourteen exterior colors are documented, plus Gold Rush, which returned in December 2020 on the T/A, T/A 392, SRT Hellcat and Redeye with SRT cars requiring a satin black hand-painted hood, roof and decklid, alongside nine interior trim descriptions; this record's own specifications section is empty for the year.^4,5

This record's own performance section carries the single 12.1-second Widebody quarter-mile claim already noted above, and its identification and conflicts sections are both empty for the year. Its unpublished leads section carries two enthusiast-compiled figures explicitly held back from promotion: 659 R/T Scat Pack 1320s built, sourced to a Mopar Insiders forum thread whose own site says the color data came from owners because Mopar would not release it, and 559 SRT Super Stocks built for the US with a full color breakdown, sourced to Stellpower's Patrick Rall, who this record's own note says calls the figures unofficial numbers gathered by an outside individual rather than a factory or registry source.²
