2019 Scatpack vs Hellcat .. 0-60 on the street - (Part 2) Is the Scat faster?

Check out this latest test between the 2019 Dodge Challenger Scatpack and the 1000 horsepower Dodge Charger Hellcat on the street. This is the second part of the series in which we pit the two cars against each other in a 0-60 battle on the street using 4 different types of tires. Who do you think will come out on top?

[@TakeDeadAim]

Here's my take: A 392 is 98% of a Hellcat for 50% of the price. If you want to take your car out to the track...buy a Hellcat. If you just want to drive it on the street and have fun...buy the Scatpack or T/A.

[@RacerX9]

I wouldn’t say 98% since the hellcat literally makes double the power but I absolutely love driving the Scatpack as well 👍

[@TakeDeadAim]

By "98%" I mean what you can get down to the street from a standing start or basically what your testing proved.

[@Rocklyn1]

@@RacerX9 485 x2 " 717? Damn lol

[@enocheli8223]

RacerX You mean it makes a little more than 200hp than the scatpack (stock for stock) not double.

[@TorridDesign]

Saw the first video, thanks for doing this follow up. This sums up everything I and other 392 owners have been saying for awhile. The Hellcat is a beast for sure, but making that power usable is hard on the street. I've done rolls against Hellcats and hold my own because I'm in my power band without waiting on boost or spinning the tires out. No need for power adders, slap on some thick rubber!

[@RacerX9]

Joshua Croft .. great point my friend .. the Scatpack is very efficient in the way that it puts the power down 👍

Well said. HP means nothing without traction and grip...just fancy smokeouts.

[@thomasburns3345]

I’m a German sports sedan guy but for some reason I love watching your muscle car content man. All the number driven tests are really my jam. I appreciate your work! It also helps me know what I can hang with in my luxury 4 door (450hp Audi s4, supercharged 3.0l V6). So far she’s right in there with the stock 392/GT/SS crop of muscle cars on highway pulls (60-130 in the 11 range). I REALLY like lining up from a dig though. 4x255 on 9.5” with AWD helps me blitz off high 3 second 0-60. ALMOST none of the muscle car guys expect it as I scoot off. So cool we live in a time where there are so many great high performance and affordable options!

[@David-qf9gp]

I appreciate you taking the time and effort to do this tire comparison, it is interesting to see what happens with each test and what the tire will actually deliver under street conditions. Thank You!

[@wbhink3]

You working with the drive modes to get the best 0-60 inspired me. I bought a 4395 pound 2020 Charger Scat Pack in late April. Before "having fun" with it, I took it through the 100, 300, 500 and 1500 mile Dodge-recommended break-in procedure that I found in the manual. Today I went out to see what 0-60 I could get with the 245 Goodyear Eagle RS-A2s that came on it. I left the tires at 32 psig cold, with the only warm-up being driving for about 30 minutes to get to a safe place to run. I set up a custom drive mode with the Transmission set to Track and the Traction set to Street. I foot stalled the engine to 2000 and then floored it from a standstill. The computer showed a 0-60 of 4.8. Ambient temp was 77 with 70% humidity. The pavement was rough asphalt. The engine is stock. The only thing I have done to the vehicle is physically replace the AES valves with straight pipe and install an Active Exhaust Solutions AES simulator kit.The tires did spin in 1st and 2nd and maybe some in 3rd, but not as bad as they do in Street or Track mode. I guess this is because the traction control stays on with Traction in Street mode. I plan to get some different rear tires later, maybe some 275 (stock 20x9 wheels) Nitto NT05s, the street version of the NT05R. Thank you for all of your hard work to make all of your very informative videos!

[@RacerX9]

ee dubya .. awesome stuff my friend! I appreciate the support on the channel 🤜🔥🔥

[@Icipher4]

I have a 2020 scat, 100% loaded with every option except for not being a widebody. I paid 41k even before TTL. As much as I would have loved the bragging rights and supercharger whine of a Hellcat, the massive price difference makes the 392 a much more compelling offering. The hellcat also seems to be unusably powerful unless you're driving with the right tires under perfect circumstances. For the money I'd rather just get the new C8.

Best time being a 4.0. Granted I live in Minnesota but our summers still hit 90 plus days. But man the widebody with just the stock 305 perellis grab pretty good. 1st set only lasted 7k miles but now I have michelin pilot sport and they grab even slightly better. But man what a sweet spot for the money. Stop light to stop light it's a riot to drive. I find joy in that almost shit your pants feeling for a second or 2 followed by your heart pumping . It gets looks too in the beautiful indigo blue and the huge brembos . 90 percent of people say nice hellcat at the gas station lol.

From what I've seen from these 2 videos, I'm gonna conclude the scat pack is more of a street car where the hell cat is a track star. I'm not a track racer, but I love a challenge on the street!

[@WorksIRL]

Thanks for the efforts you put into your videos to share such great content with us! Here in Michigan, some of us add sandbags in the rear cargo areas across the rear axle for better traction. I know weight is the nemesis in racing but given how much HP & torque those cars have, would adding say 210lbs (3 - 70lbs sandbag tubes) provide more down force on the rear wheels to help them “hook-up” better?

I have a 2012 SRT Charger with the 6.4. Stock on the street 0-60 with Michelin Pilots it was 4.7. I added the Procharger P1SC with the larger intercooler and using the tune that came with it. Now with traction control on in street mode I hit 0-60 in 5.8. Just no traction. However without spinning tires it's so much more fun from the midrange power and up. 0-60 times don't matter. And oh the sound from the blow off valve is fricking awesome. I left off the plastic panel covers underneath so it's even louder. I don't drag race bc I haven't changed the pistons.

[@willgray3514]

Nice video Racer X. Why don't you ever try it in Track mode?

[@RacerX9]

Thank you Will. I can’t get the tires to stay hooked up in track mode. The street is the great equalizer

[@FaithfulServant316]

Here's the deal: great comparison as far as all the work you put into doing all those tests. Thanks! BUT, after drag racing for 37 years the one factor I didn't hear you mention & you have left out, which is super vital is, the hellcat charger has to be at least 300lbs heavier being its a 4 door, plus blower and cooler water weight than the 2 dr N/A challenger which would make a Huge difference in All your times & comments. It's too bad you didn't have the same type vehicle at least for all the tests. But it was still cool all your hard work & results. Thanks again. I guess that's why folks got a Demon or super stock challenger from the Dodge aspect of things. I have a funny feeling here at the Assembly plant, from the lead engineers saying when Dodge pipes in the big block screaming audio sounds in the cabin of the 2024 AWD EV Muscle car with instant over 1000++ TQ and it hooks up instantly, I think you're going to see alot of dealers with older used gas fueled dodge muscle cars of all kinds from owners trading them all in for This EV Monster. Most likely it will miss Detroit, but By April in NY it will land for viewing by All. Of course this is a educated guess.😉🤐

Hey RacerX, new to the Chanel and enjoy your videos. I recently got a 2020 Challenger Scat Widebody and it is a blast. I’m not at 500 miles yet so no Launch Control but in sport mode I pulled 4.3 on my second run. I totally agree with all of the variables but does the engine perform better as it breaks in?

[@demodemoncrat441]

So how ragged out is your Challenger already, since you obviously didn't do a proper break in before "pulling runs?"

[@gordongragert3399]

Sc is rated 4.3 0-60 so I would say spot on with your times. No matter what 4.5 & under for both challengers is quick enough for daily driving. Anything faster and most people would probably wrap it around a pole or something.
