Dodge Challenger ScatPack vs CAMMED Chevy SS

In this video I race a cammed Chevy SS with my Dodge Challenger ScatPack. Thanks for watching!

[@peterrichards1058]

@@CM-jm6ui Yes this seems to be case as advertisements for the SS were non existent. We have a ute (truck) and wagon variations of the SS. I have two SSV sport wagons both V8s. My wifes one is 6.0 ltrs and mine is 6.2 LSA with 2650 Harrop blower. If you have dropbox I can send you a photo. I am very proud of these cars and their origins in Holden Australia and the mix of Australian and US engineering really got this car right.

[@norwegianblue2017]

Car guys covet the SS. They hold their price very well. If I picked one up I would totally put a Holden lion badge in front. Make it even more of a mystery car to the average US driver.

[@JROC734]

Why such low power for the SS? Traditional claims for cam only/bolton/tune LS3 cars is in the 480 WHP range. Maybe a stock throttlebody/manifold setup is holding it back?

[@KCars]

Maybe, still a pretty good increase from stock though

[@roshawn1111]

yeah something is wrong with the tune, you can hear the SS seems let let off from the noise it makes. 5:40 4:47 5:24. Its like the gearing is too low or something

You don’t need to put the shifter in manual to let the car shift for itself. Keep it in auto and still use the paddles to downshift and hit the gas. The car will automatically shift by itself when it get close to redlining

Will this change the outcome of the race?

@@KCars if you’re a good driver probably not, but it’ll keep you from having to use your shifter all the time and just be able to have both hands on the wheel from the start. It just makes it easier

Chevy SS ( Holden commodore 🇦🇺 ) such a cool car

[@evileyes79]

Good video, the ScatPack having 50hp more should more than cover the 90kgs, (200lbs) weight difference, and theoretically should have left the VF Commodore, (Chev SS) behind, however in the real world there is a lot more to factor in, how that power is developed, delivered and put down, and dont forget the Driver, so gear ratio's, final drive setup, air intake, fuel delivery systems, etc and the list goes on all equates into why the SS had the slight edge.

Very true. I upgraded to 275 Michelin’s all around and it made a huge difference with traction. I thought about lowering it but it already scrapes going over speed bumps sometimes since the headers stick out a little lower than stock but I agree I think it would look really good

[@spenzarmartin7395]

Technically you would be at an advantage with mostly everything just because you have more weight doesn't necessarily mean your at disadvantage.

I have a soft spot for the SS since I have a G8 which got the same treatment from GM. It’s sad that GM has no desire to market their vehicles that aren’t Camaros or Trucks and let these gems die after 2-3 years.
