2017 Dodge Charger R/T Daytona In-Depth Review - The Forgotten Model?

[@RTLife]

The 5.7L is overlooked in general, but the daytona is def skipped over because the price point isn't really good unless you get some kind of super awesome deal/discount.

[@PaulNicolau]

R/T Life yeah the reason why I went with the Daytona is because I like what the package offers me. And I did get a good discount. Since I used to work for dodge I got the employee discount + some more on top of that. So it became a good deal

[@MarspeedCars]

Agreed, Dodge seems to have those models people skip, it just goes RT to Scat to Daytona 392 to Hellcat, with fewer sales in between I’m guessing!

[@PaulNicolau]

Gustavo Palacios that's a good question. I have to check that out. I know the shifts feel different. More responsive on the Daytona. But I can be wrong. The regular 5.7 has a more comfortable shifting feel. More luxury if i can say that. More refined I guess, whereas the Daytona has a more rough shift, more racy feel to it.

[@PaulNicolau]

Gustavo Palacios you'd be moving to a 4 door family sedan which is a big difference in space and insurance payments. Also better on gas consumption.

[@KingLexus]

Gustavo Palacios Dayton all the way bro, unless your going to get an SS.

[@Chris-gx1ob]

This is my favorite model. The one that made me fall in love with the chargers.

[@MarspeedCars]

I’m glad they brought it back for 2017, the 06-10 ones were also very nice!

[@Chris-gx1ob]

When are you gettin one? haha

[@3swyndal]

I’ve owned my Daytona for 8 months. So far I’m really enjoying the car and it features. I haven’t done any performance upgrades only visual add ons. I’ve put this baby on the road 4K miles round trip and everything held up very well. The exhaust system from the factory is hard to beat. I’ve swapped the mid muffler for dynomax mini racing bullets and removed the rear resonators and my car sounds amazing with no droning. It’s sound stock until you go WOT and she purrs. Great review I’d buy another they are truly rare.

[@DoubleYellow857]

4k trip? Daaaaamn! I took mine on a 1,800 mile trip a few months after I got it. Like you I was happy with the trip. The car held up like a champ with zero issues. Surprisingly great on gas for a V8 too!

[@airjase3691]

Best review on this car, nobody has ever reviewed this car like this.

[@rockchalkjsharp]

Purchased a 2019 Go Mango Daytona and I absolutely love it. The 5.7 is a great daily driver.

[@robertflores2021]

How much you got it for?

[@bmorehemi392]

This review was so good man! Great job

[@MarspeedCars]

Thank you! :)

[@Mark_conor]

Shiiiiiit I’m perfectly happy with my 5.7 Daytona more than enough for me... plus all the amenities i can have fun do burn outs easily and let’s be honest I’m never gonna do a 180 mph so brembos I didn’t need. I could have gotten the srt scat pack if I wanted to easily but gas and insurance wasn’t worth it for me everybody is different and at the time it was the only way to get the hellcat appearance package with the 5.7 witch was the cherry on top it definitely feels different than a regular RT to me though

[@DoubleYellow857]

I'm on the same boat. I'm a city driver with the occasional highway. I went with the 5.7 soley because 99% of the time I won't be able to squeeze out all the HP. What's 485hp if you can't tap into it?

[@rawlee89rh11]

Yo I changed my mind of getting a scat pack you right gas and insurance I rather get the Daytona 5.7

[@michaeljosey879]

I’m probably the only one crazy enough to do this, but I bought mine at 55k miles…. In less than a year, it now has 90k. Totally worth it. Cut the mid mufflers though, get the bump in grunt without drone. No engine lights either. Only thing I wish was different is that I had a sunroof. Mine didn’t come with one.

[@zynba]

How much did you spend? I’m currently looking at a 2017 Daytona with 40k miles for $30k. Has every single upgrade from the factory. Thinking about getting a scar for a little more.

[@darrenpowell2342]

⁠@@zynbaJust got one today go mango 29k 32k miles

[@user30017]

Man this car looks nice

[@KingLexus]

I like your vids dude been watching for a while! I’m in love with chargers! Can’t wait till I graduate college to afford a Scat pack or 392.

[@SupremeCreator]

This is great content... Nice job man

[@doyouevenknowme7494]

the SRT 392 is the forgotten model. its either get a daytona or scat or hellcat. SRT 392 is the only model i never see, only in charger form at least see every kind of challenger everywhere.

[@ericjr9884]

Craig l mainly cause the scat has the same power as the 392 for a cheaper price but THEN again it isnt a 392 soo then you have to hear that everyday lol

[@PaulNicolau]

Alex Moran exactly what I was gonna say. For the same power and just a few small things is not worth it. It's almost 10k more(in Canada) so I wouldn't spend that extra for an art model. I'd rather spend that extra for a used hellcat instead

[@MarspeedCars]

That’s a good point yeah, the scat has just about replaced the 392 because I’m not sure who would pay sticker for that new when you have other 6.4 options

[@williamkraus841]

Looking at a 2017 charger Daytona rn with the beautiful torred hope it’s stays around just a little longer for me

[@dasllamas]

Really think it was overshadowed by the Daytona 392. Honestly if I was getting the Daytona I wouldn't get the 345

[@PaulNicolau]

dasllamas I agree. But the good thing there aren't many daytonas on the road. At least in Toronto Canada. Which makes it interesting. A lot of people turn heads.

[@MarspeedCars]

Yeah it’s interesting they have both Daytona and Daytona 392, and same with the Challenger T/A and T/A 392 as well. It does give buyers more choices though especially if you can get a good deal

[@lumtaroc]

Very awesome sounding engine and exhaust. one of the best.

[@ElvisCarReviews]

Nice and very detailed review

[@MarspeedCars]

Thanks Elvis!

[@charlesnicholson9635]

Sweet. I've got the Beats system in my 12 RT and I think it's a great system. Doesn't need too many tweaks. Am I the only one?

[@carramrod8232]

My lord how prices have changed

[@Maine76]

Good review!Would def spend the few extra for a Scat though,not sure Dodges thinking on its buyer,just seems like your paying for a sticker to me!And the CAI even isn't polished aluminum on the tube,come on Dodge!!Keep the informative reviews coming Marspeed 👍

[@MarspeedCars]

Thanks man! :) Yeah I agree with you, it’s nice there’s so many models but that means fewer differences between them for buyer

[@rntjake]

Personally I'd get the scat pack but it's still a memorable car!!!

[@MarspeedCars]

I feel ya!

[@chocolatewheelchair]

DAYTONAAAA!! 🏎

[@MDG_Collections]

Great review man.

[@MarspeedCars]

MDG Collections thanks man!!

[@muzikgeniusguy8031]

Grear review ❤ im actually in pricess of purchasing same exact model cvarger n color....im planning in adding black stripes wrap on hood and top car....plus wide body kit 😍

[@pewpew-_-2157]

honestly the only true competitiors to the charger all got discontinued

[@eunit08]

The look department is what keeps these cars selling. Mainly the trunk decal. Thats just my opinion of course

[@MarspeedCars]

Yeah those decals are very nice to have especially from the factory

[@eunit08]

Marspeed they do make the charger stand out. I will be able to recognize them sooner than a "392 Hemi" or a hellcat badge

[@blackice7408]

Man good review. I wonder if the 19 speaker harman kardon sound system is worth it because it's now offered in the 2018 RT daytona but not on the 2018 RT scatpack

[@MarspeedCars]

Appreciate it man! Not sure, I’ve been driving some 18 300s and they have Alpine, found it pretty shitty tbh

[@blackice7408]

Marspeed well when you get the chance, please let me know

[@rtcturnemup7028]

You should’ve added the chargers long lost rival “ the impala “

[@jaimeramirez-perez7198]

Nice charger

[@jtastick33]

Are performance pages included in the Daytona rts?

[@FirstNameLastName-hy2iz]

Jordan Williams yes. At least my 2018 does have it.

[@imserious2187]

Love the Daytona

[@kingl9801]

Nice review Marspeed. Would you pick one up?

[@MarspeedCars]

Thanks! Could be an option or maybe a used scat or 392

[@MarspeedCars]

driving the Daytona was a big step up from the little v6 though it’s a great car

[@quintenchornenki1136]

6:00 holy shit that sounds good

[@JohnnyYK]

How much to insure a 5.7 v8 vs a 6.4 v8

[@PaulNicolau]

Depends on your record. I'm paying CAD $260 monthly. I have no tickets, no accidents.

[@mokbelalomari7341]

Best video

[@MarspeedCars]

Thanks!!

[@shawnloop6674]

I want one👌🏽look like it did 3sec from 0-60 when you ran it but you said 5.1 to 0-60🤔

[@yunggod1981]

Now way it did it in 3

[@shawnloop6674]

@@yunggod1981 u right bruh i was looking at 40😂

[@crimsonstang]

Looking to get an unsold loaded 2018 for 31. Pretty good deal in my opinion.

[@DoubleYellow857]

31??? Man that is a STEAL! Don't let it slip away!

[@stevensanchez7740]

For 27,000? What do you guys think

[@blackice7408]

They've could've put on some 4 piston brembos

[@DoubleYellow857]

That is an option if you build it. Brembo on a 5.7 is quite rare

[@Dude-tb8ry]

Did this car have the performance handling package?

[@zaeInna300]

Love it

[@yxngmigo]

how’s 25k for a 2017 daytona rt with 61k miles on it

[@KoalaThom]

How do I know If the car has the high-speed controller in it like is there a difference in the dash?

[@FirstNameLastName-hy2iz]

Koala Thom use paddle shifters and manually shift it’ll display the gear on panel

[@zp2760]

Good car

[@angelospetalas4468]

Is it me or does the 0-60 seem a lot faster then 5 seconds?

[@Midnightmenac3]

Do they Daytona come with a back up cam?

[@PaulNicolau]

Yes they do come with a backup camera standard. The car in this video is officially sold :) Just got a 2020 Grand Cherokee 5.7 v8 LimitedX trim. So far so good but still miss the charger.

[@dennisfinan7977]

My 6 cylinder 300 got 18 mpg

[@nomo4u886]

I need to cop one ASAP

[@gamingheavenstudios9596]

Where is the HEMI logo on the hoodscoop?

[@PaulNicolau]

Gaming Heaven Studios I removed it because I just wrapped my entire hood black. Check my Instagram for after wrap photos :)

[@gamingheavenstudios9596]

Bogdan3d oh, my parents have a 2017 RT Daytona as well that they let me drive and it is really fun to drive!

[@PaulNicolau]

Gaming Heaven Studios yeah it's a bunch of fun for sure! :)

[@danoqamyasharahla6544]

Why not pay $1000 and get the Scatpack. People who buy new RT Daytonas over a scatpack are idiots...

[@OctonaBoyFresh]

Because base scat packs have shitty cloth seats and look cheap af inside smh

[@rafthagod]

These cars were so cheap back then 😭

[@Pat-rc77]

looks bad ass and sounds mean :P

[@MaksymNenashev]

Круто!!!! Молодец!!!!

[@tywar23]

why didnt he get the scat pack lol

[@MarspeedCars]

Sometimes the MSRP are different than what the dealer actually charges so the Daytona 5.7 ended up being a much better deal than the scat

[@FirstNameLastName-hy2iz]

To some people gas and insurance cost really matters. Big difference when you go up in engine displacement(5.7L to 6.4L) That’s my reason.

[@flackojoyde9646]

Man I was on the freeway and a Daytona pulled up on me he had a muffler delete and a “I eat ass “ spoiler And I have a 370Z couple bolt ons E85 and man I was disappointed those Daytona are slow like it’s not even funny not even trying to brag after that run I had to come to KZbin

[@caloFi]

congrats you beat a stock car with a modded car

[@goatedjunior6931]

Slow
