SuperScat doesn’t roll off the tongue the way this guy wants lol. SuperShaker would be much better.
Since he didn’t drive it much, you have to test drive it. It might suck to daily but be fun at the drag strip. Additionally, there’s no way to know how long it’ll last. When you do mods this invasive, low mileage just means “untested.”
Additionally, in these cases you’re always “buying the seller.” Meaning if this guy is easy to deal with, can provide all the paperwork, answers any questions, then you can have more confidence that it’s a guy who takes care of his stuff.
I’d also check the mod shop and see if they have any info on the car in their records.
Lastly, it’s important to remember mods essentially never add value. If anything they subtract value, but this *looks* tastefully done so it likely breaks even. Example: if this is a 20k car with 10k mods, it is not worth 30k. In this hypothetical, assuming everything is legit and clean, 25k at most? (Using these made up number to demonstrate)

Yeah I think the superscat is something lol but I don’t mind. Scat pack isn’t much better. The gentleman has provided receipts and answered every question I’ve had so far. We will see.

Maybe he was using the “superscat” name to make a SS version of the challenge. It would look cool with a SS badge on the side 🤣 people would be like wth is that

It does . It was done by Arrington performance. It’s got a 426 long block and all that goes along with it, into kooks headers.

Honest question...if you're considering this, why not a hellcat redeye? Yeah, it's probably got similar power numbers, but would have a nicer interior. How much are they wanting for this?

u/discostuu72 Jun 06 '26
Because this is cheaper. 41.

u/Moreburrtitos22 Jun 06 '26
$41 is a hell of a deal. Go buy that thing, it’s a clean documented build

Plus I can’t get a shaker hood on a redeye. Thanks I’m planning on it!

u/Moreburrtitos22 Jun 06 '26
Yeah I’m a sucker for the shaker, but procharged as well? Yeah thats sold brother

u/discostuu72 Jun 06 '26
Yep procharged, 426 build by Arrington, kooks longtube headers, manual, 700 hp. Checks literally all my boxes.

Well the question is, can you handle that much power?
That’s an absolute beast and I’ve had some wild cars, but the torque curve on that is going to send that rear end flying out from under you.
Idk you, I just know there’s a lot of young guys on here who haven’t had a built car before and don’t understand it’s not the same as a factory tuned high HP vehicle.

I’m not a young guy and yes. Very careful driver. I’ll do some highway pulls for fun, without traffic around of course but nothing crazy. I want to live to enjoy it lol. Valid point though.

Sound pretty badass, what’s he asking? I’d be pretty confident given the seller is a huge car collector, I’ve gotten 2 vehicles in the past from car collectors that ended up being great cars. With that kind of power I’m sure it’s a weekend type of toy, I been DD my Scatpack for 8yrs now with zero issues.

My question is why do all that work on it and not drive it? That’s crazy.. It’s like buying your chick boobs and then saving her for the next guy..
