Dodge did mark the "end of the line" slated for 2023 for their hemi power train lineup. This would include any and all cars carrying the R/T and SRT badge with the 345ci (5.7L), 392ci (6.2L and 6.4L) and 426ci (7.0L) engine package. But are still being sold in 2024 as leftover stock. The SXT version powered by the Pentastar 3.6L V6 will still be available for a few more years.
Now the 392ci engine is a tricky one to pin down. Because the Hellcat and Demon shared the same 6.2L supercharged V8, but with a different is pulley size on the supercharger. Making around 700HP and 800HP respectively. Unless it's the Hellcat widebody. Then it has the Demon's bigger pulley. While the Scatpack came with the 6.4L naturally aspirated V8 rated at just over 500HP. At any rate, you don't buy one of these cars for its longevity. You buy one because they are crazy fast. And when you go fast, you break fast too. <--Words to remember. When you punish these cars, they will punish your wallet even harder. So, it's good that your cousin has lots of money because he's going to be spending lots of it maintaining that car.
Oh, and for the record, the Tesla plaid edition will blow the doors off of the Scatpack. AND, last quite a bit longer too. Some electric cars really are fast.
