As you know, the Dodge Challenger Scat Pack name is under fire, and not for good reason. The Chrysler Group may be in trouble over the Scat Pack name, a name that has been in the Dodge family for a long time dating back to the 1960s as a performance package available for the Coronet, Dart, Super Bee, and Charger.

Scat Enterprises, a crankshaft company out of California, is not happy with Chrysler/Dodge for using the word “scat” in its name for its high-performance package. Although Dodge had used the name decades ago, Scat Enterprises had made their case known back then, too, and now the crankshaft company is suing Chrysler for violating its trademark word, as we brought you early last month.

Dodge Challenger T/A concept debuted at the recent 2014 SEMA show. This T/A Challenger concept featured many of the components that come on the production Scat Pack Challenger, and this could be a possible new name for Dodge’s high-performance Challenger, one that could easily go from concept to production.

Dodge Challenger T/A SEMA concept car

The Challenger T/A that was introduced at SEMA features that familiar 6.4-liter Hemi V8 engine with shifting power coming from a 6-speed manual transmission. Exterior goodies included the SRT hood, Hellcat intake headlights, Mopar chin, and 20-inch SRT wheels. Unique to the T/A includes the rear spoiler and the graphics on the body. As a concept, nothing was too crazy for a production car. Also featured on the this model was a special induction system.

Exterior wouldn’t change a whole lot, but the interior is a different story. In the SEMA T/A model, inside featured Viper Seats with a harness bar and rear seat delete. All which may be a bit much for a production model, but who knows, it may work.

Switching to the T/A name and calling it a day may just seem like the viable solution that would make everyone happy. Scat Enterprises was founded in the early 1960s, and when Dodge used Scat Pack for their performance brand later that decade, Scat Enterprises served them with a cease and desist letter. In 1971, Scat Pack went away and the case was only brought up again when Dodge, who didn’t get permission or registration approval for Scat Pack, began to use the name again. The T/A will be a nice way to settle this, and a very welcome return to the performance world of Mopar. Now all we need is an AAR Cuda again and we’re all set.
