Dodge’s doomed Charger adds raucous good times to the sports sedan segment. While the supercharged Hellcat flavors are household names, fans of the Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack aren’t exactly speed-deprived. The Scat Pack’s thunderous 6.4L Hemi engine is the biggest, most powerful naturally aspirated V8 in the marque’s modern lineup. Still, the Charger isn’t the last word in fast sedans; these four not-so-tired sleeper sedans will smoke the Scat Pack to 60 mph, like the Audi RS 3 or Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio.

What cars are faster than a Dodge Charger Scat Pack?

The Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack can break the 4.0-second threshold in a sprint to 60 mph. However, these four cars will outrun it with some ease. 

• Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing
• Audi RS 3
• Tesla Model 3 Performance
• Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio

Still, all four of these cars cost more than the robust Scat Pack. However, in some cases, like the Audi RS 3 and Tesla Model 3 Performance, the starting points are close enough for serious competition. However, the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is nearly twice as pricey as its fellow red-white-and-blue contender. 

Is the CT5-V Blackwing fast?

Years after the Cadillac CTS-V proved that the automaker could still bring it, the CT5-V Blackwing exploded onto the scene with 668 horsepower courtesy of a volcanic supercharged 6.2L V8. Moreover, Car and Driver says it will likely sprint to 60 in under 3.4 seconds with the 10-speed automatic. 

That puts the Cadillac sleeper sedan model around 0.4 seconds ahead of evaluators’ tests of a 2019 Scat Pack. Of course, with a starting point of around $93,390, the Blackwing is far less budget-friendly than the Dodge Charger Scat Pack.

Is Audi RS 3 a V8?

The 2023 Audi RS 3 might not boast a V8 like the Dodge Charger Scat Pack, but it makes up for it with an eager turbocharged 2.5L inline five-cylinder mill. The RS 3 produces 401 horsepower from its unique heart, more than enough to motivate its 3,639-lb curb weight.

Moreover, the Audi RS 3 will dash to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds, even quicker than a much more dramatic Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing or Charger R/T Scat Pack. The Audi model’s $59,995 base makes it a willing competitor to the much larger and thirstier Charger Scat Pack Widebody. 

How much faster is a Tesla Model 3 Performance than a Dodge Charger Scat Pack?

Telsa’s Model 3 Performance takes the smallest EV in the automaker’s lineup and dual-motor, launch-happy grip. Factor in the combined power of its platform, and the 470-horsepower Performance will outsprint the Scat Pack to 60 mph by around 0.7 seconds. 

Moreover, considering the Tesla Model 3 Performance starts at around $53,990, you’d be hard-pressed to find a faster new car for the money, bar none.  

What is the 0-60 time for an Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio?

What? An Alfa Romeo as a Dodge Charger Scat Pack alternative? Hear me out, dear reader. With a 0-60 time of around 3.6 seconds, the Ferrari-derived 505-horsepower twin-turbocharged 2.9L V6 is an interesting stand-in for Dodge’s raucous N/A Apache V8. 

Moreover, since the 2023 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio’s platform is similar to previous model years, a used 2017 or 2018 model could be a solid Scat Pack-trouncing option.
