2020 Dodge Charger RT Review (Daytona)...Will the 5.7 Satisfy?

[@MeynMotorGroup]

See my 2020 C8 Corvette Review here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/al6pk3ufr5VjeNU I would love to hear from owners how their Charger/Challenger has held up for them. Nobody seems to do fun better than Dodge and before we transition to an EV only world, I believe we should enjoy these V8s before they are gone. Please follow me on Instagram & Twitter @exhaustsports or you may become a Patreon member for early access to these reviews. Thanks again for stopping by.

[@pursuithemi5.7awd81]

Yes pursuit is like RT but only being AWD HEMI especially being up north in long snowy states when you need automatic AWD switch. But if I was Tennessee Georgia any southern or out west states. Then I would definitely get a scatpack for sure

[@pursuithemi5.7awd81]

Also I can add airflow muffler exhaust system with mod cold air intake for a growling sound too

[@daytona5.722]

I owned a 5.7 Daytona for 3 years, held up great, no issues, I did 5 autocross events, 5 open open track days and 1 drag strip event with it. I recently traded it for a 2020 Scat Pack with the Dynamics package and Adaptive Suspension, the Scat Pack takes everything I loved about the 5.7 Daytona to the next level. I agree with your assessment of the ride quality, the Scat Pack rides even better when the shocks are set to street mode, good job on the review.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

That's awesome glad it's been treating you well my friend especially since you didn't go easy on it haha. Yea the Scat Pack is just perfection 👌 and still very exciting in the speed department. Thanks again for stopping by!

[@richardh3587]

Totally. I’ve also rented mustang GTs but actually find the chargers to be more fun. Steering feels better, visibility is better and there’s something satisfying about driving a big body car like this like a complete dbag

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea haha exactly between the mustang and camaro, camaro is a far superior drivers car but I do love the NA 5.0 motor in the mustang. Chargers handle way better than people give it credit for, its such a long wheel base car that you always know what the car is doing but the mustang doesn't communicate properly which is why everyone spins out in them lol

5.7 definitely best bang for your buck because you can always add a new intake and exhaust to make it faster, along with other things

I own a '15 Scat Pack 392, before that I owned a '14 R/T Plus AWD, and have owned various other Chargers and Challengers, and NOT 1 of them EVER gave me issues! I've been building and racing cars my whole life and these are probably the best all around built car and reliable that I've had the pleasure of driving and owning! Yes, I've also owned Corvettes, Mustangs, Trans Ams, Lexus, Toyota, Nissan, Hondas..etc...My Chargers have not only been a complete blast to drive every day, but has NEVER stranded me or got me stuck or left me wondering why I bought it!! Usually, the ones that complain about all kinds of problems either don't know how to properly take care of the car, or they inherited someone else's lemon!

Another thing people don't seem to realize when they say they're not fast enough is the 5.7 takes to mods much better than the 392 does, it doesn't take much to get a hundred horsepower and be competing with those scat packs with one of these 5.7s

[@rustyshaklferd1897]

The charger r/t is the perfect car for me which is why I bought 2. Had a 2018 r/t plus, and just got a 2022 r/t plus. Extremely comfortable. Plenty of power to have a blast on the roads. Active exhaust and Harmon kardon sound great. Fits a car seat nicely and the trunk is huge. Not much more I’d want. The extra 115hp with the 392 would be nice, but not worth the 93 octane and gas mileage plus added insurance rates. The dodges are so heavy most cars that are quicker than the 5.7 are also quicker than the 6.4, few cars fall in between the two.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Thank you!

[@BigMack392]

I have a 2018 SRT. Fabulous. Looked at Camaro and Mustang but they did not really match my requirements. Now, four years in, it remains fabulous. One warranty problem . . . a small area of blistered paint beneath the edge of the trunk lid. Dealer fixed that under warranty. That's it. No other issues . . . not a one. I have the dynamics upgrade which includes six piston Brembos, front, and four piston Brembos, rear. Slotted rotors with two piece rotors up front. Fantastic stopping power which this car will use should you take it to the track. You may not be aware but the suspension originated with the E-class Mercedes. Dual ball joint front, fully independent rear, Bilstein gas shocks (standard), large sway bars front and rear. The ZF 8-speed gearbox is excellent, shifts quick up or down on its own or with the standard paddle shifters. Multi-mode exhaust dead quick when cruising, huge roar when you put your foot into it - a no extra cost feature. Great highway mileage, as much as 26 MPG because the engine switches to four cylinders during low load cruising. This transition is smooth and seamless, but you will note a change in the exhaust tone. Many other features too numerous to mention here. You need to test drive one of these on a curvy road. Once you do that you will be convinced. After four happy years I still smile every time I back out of the garage.

[@BigMack392]

Forgot to mention, I have the 6.4L Hemi. Fantastic engine, gobs of power and smooth as silk right to the 6400 RPM redline. Without using the paddle shifters, the ZF gearbox will run right to the redline before shifting during a full throttle launch. It is very quick.

[@christo6765]

F80 M3 is a pretty epic handling car doesn't get much better in terms of handling on the street. I think Charger would be a nice complement to the M3 and will provide you with an engine noise and comfort that you will really appreciate so you will own the best of both worlds. Enjoy the amazing cars my friend!

same car my dad has, hemi v8 5.7 liters. Added a muffler to it, and added red tape to the calipers to make it look cool 😂 Not the kinda car u would normally see in the street, it’s pretty rare if u ask me. Also he added headers and is looking to add a lot of more tunes and modifications, also a device that controls the speed of the acceleration but since he had headers he said he didn’t wanna go to crazy because then the car could go bad, I am 10 my self and it’s the best car I have ever experienced. Amazing.

[@johnromero6642]

Just had one of these a rental car for 10 days in PA. I rented a Full-size Rental and was expecting a 4 banger Hyundai or KIA and got this - cool surprise. The best thing about this was the sound. Rode well but really was really lacking as a performance saloon. Wasn't as fast as I was hoping and a bit sluggish overall. Again sounded great and the first day I drove it I thought - nice I would buy this thing but by Day Nine I was ready to get out of it. Got about 17-18 mpg overall.

You missed putting it on sport mode and putting all the performance settings on sport as well. It add an extra kick and opens the throttle more which makes it sounds louder as well

Daily driver for just over a year now. It is the best-ever family shuttlecraft we've ever had. Power when needed. Sleek looks. Grand legacy and the most important part you'd mentioned - FUN! We'll have this car a good long time, sharing our adventures (coming as October arrives!). Regarding the power: Totally agreed that THIS is the one that should be on "the roads." We test-drove the Scat and the Hellcat and - it's insane that that kind of power is put onto standard American roadways. The lack of understanding and respect for what is generated there is one of the giant red lights in the MOPAR community to be sure. About the interior - I've never felt that this was "cheap" by any stretch, but I've never had anything more expensive than this car. I think it might just be something to hate on for hate-ing on's sake. Thanks for your review!

[@noodletitan9086]

I love the charger rt almost bought one, the exhaust sounds so good, so good on the 5.7 with the active exhaust, the power is more than good enough for me, the reason I didn’t buy it is because oh the bad crash test rating, scored pretty low, that’s the dealbreaker, otherwise I love it

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yes despite the high curb weight the safety is rather poor on these beasts. Such a shame mustangs and camaros don't fair well either I admit that is a turn off

Ok having issue here I have deal on table I got a 392 scat pack for $43,450 out thr for or Daytona rt 5.7 with 15k miles for $43,199.00....which would be better option daytona more balanced and more loaded. Scat Pack is the fire octane red and daytona is the f8 green

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Is the 392 new?

[@dubwilliams77731]

12 miles on it, daytona 15k miles mint condition

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Oof too much you should try and get a new car in fact I’m going to tell you to go on the leasehackr website and find the leasecompanion broker. They offer new chargers and challengers at 8% off MSRP I think you will have to wait and have it built tho so might take a month and half before you get the car but def the cheapest way of getting a new mopar vehicle. I think they’re located in the DC area but the ship nationwide via JS Transport

[@MeynMotorGroup]

I honestly would never consider buying a used car in this market so much cheaper to just buy new

[@dubwilliams77731]

Now that's a plug right there I appreciate so much I just like how both of these are in town now. I will look up information really appreciate it.

[@1mhykee]

Could you add more hp to this ? Or would it be bad

[@MeynMotorGroup]

If you need more HP just step up to a Scat Pack. For the amount of money that's going to be spent modifying and voiding the warranty on 5.7 just buy the 6.4 to begin with and Dave yourself the trouble.

4:07 ish just wanna clean up that “camaro is just a coupe” you can get a Chevy ss older year unfortunately but still a 4 door v8 sedan putting out lots of power, ( not trying to be that one guy just didn’t know if others knew that Chevy has more than a camaro and vette) but Ford yeah they just have coupes but I’d say Chevy and mopar are top of the board

[@big4jake112]

I don’t know man I’d take a Ford over a Chevy (New), but Dodge takes the cake.

Does a Daytona R/T have better gas mileage since it comes with cold air intake?

hey. ima coupe guy lol. 2017 5.0 here but i do have the 09 impala ss which is a v8 sedan but its fwd tho

Nice! Sick rides you got there my friend

@@MeynMotorGroup I wish there were more V8 sedans. I had no choice but to get a Mustang. I didn't want a Dodge because I feel they are very unreliable as they age

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea not many available I think it's just the Lexus GS F left now and the typical German junks with their insane twin turbo setups which actually isn't the same as these more "muscle" feeling NA V8s. Yea Mustangs are pretty bulletproof I like the 5.0l in that very charismatic motor

[@Dee--Jay]

@@MeynMotorGroup I believe its a Genesis sadan with a V8 also. Have you ran across any of those?

[@suckaduck991]

I loved my 09 ss, I traded it in for a 2016 Malibu 1.5t and even tho I love the car there’s nothing like a good v8

[@jessicaperez1790]

I recently purchased a used 2019 Daytona 5.7 with 70k miles on it for 35msrp and the price after everything ended up being 45k was that too much? And do you recommend me turning it back?

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Are you in California? Because that's the only explanation I can think of for a 35k car turning into 45k is the crazy taxes. If you sold that car today at best it is worth around $30k trade in and private sale is like $33k at best. Did you grab any extra warranties or coverage? If not then I would look over your finance contract and see what you signed up for

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Well I'm sorry to say once you sign the papers the car is yours. You unfortunately did not get a good deal on it but whatever such as life. I guess you would just have to pay it off early or something and keep it or take a personal loan out for 15k and cover the difference but I suppose next time you buy a car take someone with you. I personally only buy new cars or CPO cars at worst. But best or luck it's a fun car try and enjoy it at this point

[@fabianthomas6051]

Can someone explain a manufacturing warranty to me

[@StanzeGQ]

I heard u can supercharger it

I can agree on the quality and the fun he says dodge do but thats why you only lease these things.

Yea these are super fun to buy new and enjoy for a few years

[@JoeltheG]

Exhaust Sports Auto I do wish they made them better tho that way I would get one knowing it would last and not break down so fast

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea I know but just one of the ways they can keep the costs low

[@MeynMotorGroup]

That's good that your car lasted. Most people do not share that positive experience owning an FCA vehicle long term. Mechanics even shy away despite how fun they are. I would only lease new one. But def keep yours since it is holding up

[@JoeltheG]

@Speed Gate thats cuz it’s still pretty new 61k is not much. New Dodge cars have a hard time reaching or going past 100k or 200k cux they get a lot of weird problems like the transmission or general engine problems mostly cuz people don’t know how properly to maintain them and they drive the hell out of them
