Daily driven muscle cars it’s the only way to go. About 3 1/2 weeks ago I picked up a 2016 dodge challenger scat pack 392 with a shaker hood in plum crazy purple in a six speed manual and when I got it it only had 4881 miles on it. And only 126 of them were made in that configuration of that year!!!!

[@GemmyDonCars]

It's not the only way to go, but it is a good way to go.

[@CrapMyDadMakesMeWatch]

This is fantastic. That’s a beautiful car. Your breakdown is great. I wish I was in a position to own a 3rd car like that.

[@stevenbrown5210]

Sell your other two cars. It's worth it!

[@DeepFinger-UA]

I confirm one of the last best “real” American muscle car to drive daily

Now that's what i'm talking about! Great review!!!

[@GemmyDonCars]

Olde Carr Auto Guy Thanks Jason!!! Appreciate it.

[@MyAb111]

The Challenger and GTO are my favorite muscles.

[@Iwillnotbepushed]

I had a 2008 Challenger SRT8 that was manual shift.

[@DeepFinger-UA]

Oh yes the GTO is also a fantastic car 👌🏼

[@RayB50]

I love m y 09 SRT8. Such a bad ass machine

I daily drive my 6.1L 09 SRT8 5SPD Automatic Challenger. Couldnt find unfortunately, a 6speed near my two states during the time i was desperate for a new car (August 2018). PA nor NY had a 6speed black in and black out challenger 6.1. But 28 miles away, found my Hemi for $18,900.00 with 52,700 miles. So went ahead and did my downpayment. So far, its been good. I feel horrible that i am daily driving my car. But, cant afford to insure another car under my name. Being young in NJ is expensive when it comes to insurance. Only 23yrs old. Full time worker and college student. Anyways, if i had a garage, would have been nice. But overall, daily drive this beautiful beast, finished stage 1 tuning. two custom tunes, 180 stat, resonator delete, 87mm throttle body, pettys strut brace for front suspension, 20x10.5 rear and 20x9 Hellcat 2018 Replica wheels by Voxx. So far.

[@firstnamelastname5846]

What’s the payment on that if you don’t mind answering I’m look for an srt8 myself

[@CesarTheCreator2012]

Where’s my Jew cap payments differ from people. Your credit says how much your payments are

[@tornikeniauri7743]

Hello can u tell me the approx price of 2008 2009 2010 challenger automatics in good drive able condition?

[@KTrainPro]

I just found one for $32000 hopefully they go down to $30K... Only has 18 K miles stick shift... Black and black stripes... 2009

[@gregleuze6657]

I don’t daily drive my 09 but I park on the street and drive 80 miles round trip. At some point I would like to drive mine more. Does he still have it? I plan on keeping mine forever.

[@GemmyDonCars]

I don't think he has it anymore since he got the Jaguar F Type.

[@eddieking1247]

Are the manuals transmissions difficult to drive on the challengers?

[@GemmyDonCars]

It wasn’t too bad, I mean the clutch was heavy, but you get used to it quickly.

[@eddieking1247]

Thank bro I’m asking cause I’m looking to buy a 09 challenger SRT with a manual trans. Any tips or advice on driving manual bro?

[@dedricbullock5567]

The 2nd to 4 shift is for gas guzzler tax thing when you shift to 4 will save gas the diablo sport will eliminate that but you will burn up the clutch and go through reverse for some reason fast.

[@GemmyDonCars]

Gotcha, good to know.

[@dedricbullock5567]

@Jeremy Linton What has happened to me was the syncros wouldn't match up ever I had to get a rpm transmission

[@campanelli8]

That's the power the new 5.7 liter Hemi's have now but Dodge won't tell you that cause then they would have to sell the R/T's at not an affordable price which would throw off the price of all the other Hemi's just saying.

[@EyesRed]

For 2020, I'm only seeing the newer 5.7 hemi with 360 in the Durango, 375hp in the Challenger and 395hp in the Dodge Rams....Maybe I'm missing something but none of them are 425hp.

[@durrellthomas4806]

@@EyesRed because the post 15’ hemi’s have a PCM limit a Diablo tune will increase the potential

Does anybody know how much I should pay for a 09 str8 with 45k miles?

[@lovethesmellofracefuelinth7374]

If it's been well cared for & clean inside out, then your looking at an average of around 21 to 26k for those miles. Saw this 09 earlier for example, and it looks like a nice one for 24k. www.cargurus.com/Cars/inventorylisting/viewDetailsFilterViewInventoryListing.action?zip=85070&showNegotiable=true&sortDir=ASC&sourceContext=RecentSearches_true_0&distance=50000&sortType=DEAL_SCORE&endYear=2010&entitySelectingHelper.selectedEntity=d894&startYear=2008#listing=281397079

[@mateoschiavi845]

I’m looking at a srt8 09 with 100k on it and the guy wants 15gs it looks pretty clean other than the fact that some of the trimming on the outside of the windshield is cracking off and just little things you think it’s worth it?​@@lovethesmellofracefuelinth7374

[@ScottFichter]

Hmmm, 800 horse with rear wheel drive and a stick? I'm not sure I'd go with that platform. I'd lean towards an automatic with four-wheel drive if I had a car with 800 HP and up.

[@GemmyDonCars]

Scott, I was just talking about the variance in engines with this model. This car is RWD, but with 425hp and a stick. The Demon I was referring to is 840hp automatic RWD.

[@ScottFichter]

Oh is it? NICE! Love the channel man. Keep up the great work.

[@mauser8515]

Just bought an 09 with 160,000miles for $11,800. :-)

[@Dahmer_Jeff]

I'm looking at a silver 09 with 108miles from the dealer I work at. We bought it in from a customer for 12,800. My cost to pick it up would be 15k out the door

[@stanleylara264]

2019 305 hp v8? LOL

[@GemmyDonCars]

Stanley Lara I meant V6.

[@ediswiththememes7988]

46k miles? He probably live where the snow is and only drive it half a year

[@GemmyDonCars]

Yes, we live in Pennsylvania and he also has a Jaguar F Type, a BMW 3 Series and a Subaru Outback. All manual except the Jag.

[@michaelhudson303]

Dude said 302 horsepower v8 or the dodge demon🤔so you just skip the Scatpack

[@GemmyDonCars]

SmaSh FirSt I just meant one extreme to the other, wasn’t leaving out Scat or Hellcat on purpose, my friend. There’s a 500 hp spread.

[@Jelsick]

Cheaper than a 50,000 392

Hell yeah, it's a lot of car for the price.

No the 6 cylinder is 305 hp, like I said.
