Skat package charger 201912/22/2023 ![]() ![]() I used the savings to pay for detailing, graphene coating, tint, and eventually better tires.īy the way, I think the adaptive suspension is absolutely worth it. While the Widebody reduced lap times by a few seconds, I was under no disillusion that the Scat Pack was going to be a "track car." So, as a daily driver, I feel like I got about 90% of the benefit at about 60% of the cost. If money were no object, I probably would've gone for the Widebody and called it a day. So, all I would be missing would slightly wider rubber, the fender flares, and the retuned suspension. This way, I got the larger brakes which are the costliest piece of the upgrade, wider tires (albeit 275 vs 305), and better wheels (I was not a fan of the base wheels at all). ![]() I decided to go with the Dynamics Package + Adaptive suspension, and save the ~$3k. I went through this very same dilemma before placing my order. I'm sure there are some guys/gals here that probably have done this jump to a widebody that could help here. I know if you go from a 5.7L, and especially a 3.6L to a 392 it will go up, more so from the V6 jump, but with just a wider body style I can't see it being astronomical more. I'm not sure on insurance with the widebody. Most of the non OEM pads can keep the rims and surrounding area free of brake dust for 100's of miles or more. There are a ton of us here that run aftermarket pads, because they are cheaper for one, and the OEM pads on the 6 piston version are a dusting nightmare. Even if you do take it to a track, the Brembo pads can be swapped back in pretty quick as this system is designed for that. The Powerstop's Z26 or even the Z23 are one example of a good aftermarket alternative, if you don't track the car anyway. The 6 piston version vs 4 piston I would think wouldn't be too big of a difference cost wise, but there is always aftermarket pads which are significantly less than the OEM pads. The 305's will cost more because the are wider, and as such cost more, this will obviously depend on what brand you go with of course, but they will cost more than say the 275 width on the non widebody. Maintenance and cost on a widebody vs a non widebody will be more, but shouldn't be too awfully bad. I personally would like to have it, but missed out as mine is a 2018 392 Daytona, those and the Scat Pack's didn't have the option yet, that happened on the 2019's and up when SRT 392 went away. If you actually take it to a track often, then this option would probably benefit you more than just a daily street driven car. The Adaptive Suspension is subjective to some buyers. What should really help with the widebody is the grip in cornering and just body roll in general. The 305's "should" help more with traction on the widebody, but these things are torque monsters, so better quality tires from the stock Pirelli's (if that's what it comes with) for traction off the line are still needed. Regarding the Dynamics Package, does that still add the larger 275 width tires, 6 piston brakes up front, and other Hellcat goodies, or is that standard now with a 392? To me the upgraded brakes alone are worth it, as well as the wider tires from the stupid 245's they keep adding on high horsepower cars. The widebody stance looks very nice, some may not like it, so it is up to you whether you like it or not, I know I like it. ![]()
