Good things are coming in many packages for Dodge owners who love performance and delving into Dodge‟s rich history. In honor of the 45th anniversary of the legendary “Scat Pack Club” that played a prominent role in Dodge heritage, Dodge and Mopar today announced the introduction of new Scat Package performance stage kits for the 2014 Dodge Challenger, 2014 Dodge Charger and 2014 Dodge Dart at the 2013 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas.

2014 Dodge Dart


Completing the Scat Package offerings for Dodge at SEMA is the 2014 Dodge Dart GT, powered by a 184 horsepower 2.4-liter Tigershark engine with six-speed manual transmission. The Dodge Dart offering consists of three kits, with Scat Package 1 providing a shot in the arm of performance and handling improvements from Mopar through a cold-air intake, performance brake pads and a new short-throw shifter.

At the top level, Scat Package 3 provides the ultimate package for those seeking optimal track times. Included is a Mopar big brake kit, including 13-inch vented rotors, four-piston front calipers and stainless steel lines to maintain optimum temperatures during extreme braking maneuvers. Also included is a performance suspension comprising of adjustable springs for ride height, adjustable dampening struts and front and rear sway bars.

Mopar modifications extend beyond the Scat Package kits with the dual vented functional aluminum hood, which captures cool air for the Mopar cold-air intake and exhausts hot air to achieve optimal operating temperature.
The aero package from the limited-edition Mopar ‟13 Dart is imported into the 2014 Dodge Dart, with Mopar side sills, chin splitter and rear diffuser, and a unique new three-piece decklid spoiler to boost downforce. A new exhaust dump with side exhaust helps the engine breathe, and the Dart rides on concept 19 x 8-inch lightweight gloss black wheels, accented with Mopar logo center caps.


As with the Dodge Challenger and Charger, Katzkin performance leather seats add a premium touch to Dodge Dart‟s interior. Door bolster inserts with a red border and red accent stitching on the seats, dash, armrest, wheel and shift boot are also found inside, along with red seat-belt webbing on the driver‟s side, red trim accents and premium floor mats with red piping. Black chrome graces the door pulls, HVAC bezels, and shifter cluster, while an array of Mopar accessories, including the bright-pedal kit, leather-wrapped shift knob, bright door-sill guards, molded cargo tray and wireless charging complete the interior.


SCAT PACKAGE 1 2.4-liter

  • Mopar cold-air intake
  • Mopar short-throw shifter
  • Mopar performance brakes, including slotted rotors and performance brake pads

SCAT PACKAGE 2 2.4-liter


  • "Optimized” engine calibration (premium octane)
  • Mopar cat-back exhaust

SCAT PACKAGE 3 2.4-liter

  • Upgraded performance front and rear sway bars

That dual/vented hood is going into production.... Fingers crossed they put that rear wing into production as well....

I WILL BE SCOOPING BOTH UP if so.... So sexy.... I was origianlly buying the Dart wearing her red dress, BUT dodge advertised the color to appear much darker... The Bright red does nothing for me.. So I went with the white... I would love to have this Cherry Red :(

Jealous...

I don't understand why people are so pumped about putting spoilers/wings on cars. It just weighs your car down. Unless you're going 200+ MPH, you don't need it. It's designed to keep air flow angled so that your car is "pushed" to the ground and doesn't lift up as if taking flight (see Formula 1).

So that adjustable suspension kit is something I may look into to. I wonder how low it will go.

Also, are those fog light inserts mesh like the grill? Do they go through into the bay?

Helps them cream their jeans twice as fast!!




Sorry... very rude of me, but couldnt resist.

Mostly for appearance, but by all means would definitely cool your engine bay down, and will help improve power if your filter is where the cold air duct is directed... Could weigh less too

I've read that aero downforce starts to have a measure able affect at around 90 mph. So they could conceivably be useful on track days or for running from the fuzz (not recommended). You do not have to be doing 200+ to get aero benefits.

And that car is sweet. I love my turbo, but I may have to look into that Scat 3.

On paper, sure, but in practicality the Dart weighs more than most. The only conceivable reason to have it is if you've got a weight reduction package and put a mild carbon spoiler. Most will tell you that it looks cool, which is fine. I've got no issues with the image displayed in the OP. I just prefer utility rather than adding something for pure aesthetics.

No they are building this stuff for the 2.4. The 1.4 was never meant for performance at all. It was built for fuel mileage on the Dart.

Buy the parts and do it yourself if you think us dealership guys are hacks. You are such the master mechanic than you should be able to skillfully install the Mopar parts and not screw anything up and still maintain the warranty. Only thing that would not be under warranty is what ever you put in for the labor. Most parts you install would still be covered by 12/12 parts warranty.
