2021 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack Review | Better than Mustang & Camaro?

[@Justacogg]

I just purchased a frostbite blue special order Scatpack Challenger. I didn’t order the adaptive suspension. I went with the standard suspension which turned out to be much stiffer than I anticipated. My new scat pack rides much harsher than the 5.7 R/T. I wish I opted for the $1000 adjustable suspension hoping the softer setting would be still softer than the base suspension. Overall I am thrilled with this Scat! My new 2020 Scatpack challenger showed up flawless! After seven months of ownership not a single flaw, no rattles no lights does everything like it should! I am thrilled of the quality of this car. It’s as good as my wife’s Toyota Highlander! And it’s a Dodge! I purchased a 2007 Dodge Magnum that initially had a lot of problems and spent almost 3 months at the dealer. I think cars like my magnum are the reasons why some Dodge vehicles get a bad reputation for quality. Since then for the last 14 years it’s been a great car. It has a lifetime warranty on it which makes it difficult for me to sell. But this new scat pack Challenger is a fantastic car and I love it! I’m going to have to sell the Magnum sooner or later. Oh my car is a garage kept. The Challenger will enjoy a nice life like my Magnum did. Where else can you buy a large V8 Engine Rear wheel Coupe or sedan for under 80 or $100,000 these days? BMW? Mercedes? Believe it or not the overall reliability is not as good in the more expensive options. The Dodge Challenger is actually more reliable going by consumer reports.

14:57 tire pesssure at 47 is outrageous...

[@Justacogg]

All gods products from the factory have over inflated tires to prevent flat spots if they sit too long on the lot. Most likely somebody skipped that part of pre-delivery inspection. I took my car without PDI in the tires were between 45 and 47 pounds each.

Just bought an automatic in Granite

Who. In their right mind. Would EVER.....name their kid Bort? Lol, I miss old Simpsons. Hope you enjoy it! Looking at one myself...Did they have your match in the lot or did you wait?

Great professional review of a great car Mr. Gold Pony.

[@goldpony]

Appreciate it!

[@Godzukidan]

3rd , I am a Mustang guy but I do love the Challenger with the big hemi. Old school muscle car looks.

[@dmcisme1141]

I am 2

[@SteveL11]

The benefit of getting older is knowing exactly what you need/want (Though I'm only 27). Challenger is a winner for me, it has style, space, comfort, and arguable - the price. Doesn't matter which models, from SXT to Hellcat, you don't feel "left out". My dad ended up swap his SRT for my SXT because he couldn't handle the power. Honestly, I couldn't care less, even at SXT, it's an amazing car. You not missing out much, exterior or interior-wise. I know I'm going to get so much hate for saying this but I actually enjoy the quiet of the SXT rather than the SRT lol. I'm not a car guy so please spare me.

[@frostedpearl1386]

Buddy, I totally agree. I ordered an RT, then switched to a scatty & then went back to the dealership to change it back to the RT. They must hate me by now. lol. I know I'm not gonna be able to use all that power where I live, and don't plan on racing or tracking the car, so whats the need for 485 HP? From all the videos online, they say the RT is fun enough. It'll be more than enough for me at 372 HP coming from a 130 some HP camry. lmao. To each his own, your SXT looks just as good as a hellcat & without all the noise if thats what you want. I do want that muscle experience so I thought I'll just get the RT because it has enough usable power, definitely has the looks & somehow actually sounds better than 6.4L imo. All at a lower price. So its perfect for someone like me who is getting their first V8.

[@lions208436]

I would love to see a chally with an all aluminum hemi and new stiffer, lighter chassis, but still keep the integrity of the exterior design

[@bultacowally]

Yeah you'd like to see one but you would never be able to buy one...and that is why you never will unless you built it yourself. Yeah right...

[@lions208436]

@@bultacowally The point of my statement is this Italian owned, Canadian built car should use an aluminum chassis and engineer the hemi to be an aluminum block and head engine. Never said they're going to, just a wish list. You're insinuation is hilarious though, but thanks for the laugh.

[@johnng584]

Greetings from Lancaster! Hopefully picking up my manual scat pack from stetler soon!

[@goldpony]

Haha awesome! Congrats! 😁

[@VanitasDatBoi]

Literally just ordered my automatic today, beyond excited

[@goldpony]

Awesome car! Congrats!

[@VanitasDatBoi]

@@goldpony thanks, the the reason I got it was because of this video actually. Had to order it so I won't be getting it for about 2 months

[@thelateresponder-tlargh8591]

Great review with the exception of the recommendation of an all-digital cluster. I’m a Challenger purist (Scat pack daily and redeye for the track). No one in my driving club would want to shift away from the analog either - so Dodge if you read this please take note! If it went digital I fear my current two ‘little’ beasts would be my last. The Challenger holding onto its key old school quirks are its main charm. If that’s not for you then go get a Mustang. 😉

[@miguelircontar]

Beautiful sports cars ever

[@manueldarby3160]

Mustang and Camaro are sports cars, this is a muscle car

[@pistolpete6321]

Great review!

[@goldpony]

Thanks!

[@spectre3492]

how much quieter is it in the cabin of this car vs a challenger RT? I've heard that the exhaust is a lot quieter

[@gstrohn1]

Whats the Difference from 2020 to 2021 ?

[@easy6427]

I really wish they would offer the charger in the 6sp

[@ttsscorpio2664]

I love how it looks like it’s a rt then u hear it and be like damn a scat

[@fredwilliams7893]

Just purchased a 16 scat challenger 6 speed manual!

[@JonFox1945]

If you don't care about the track or drag strip and you just want to make sure you can pass other cars in the freeway and street, what would be better, the scat pack or the hellcat?

[@VFio689]

You can pass plenty of cars in a scat. In the future I will be getting a hellcat tho. Honestly if the scat had the supercharger whine I probably wouldn’t get rid of it lol

[@Charles_Mulberry_7977]

@Gold Pony Hey Gold Pony. You're almost to 100k...stay Gold with your Silver Play button plaque!

YES NEW 2021 CHALLENGER

[@Kuhladestkyicky]

Let’s see....Mustang GT 350, Mach 1, Camaro SS and ZL-1 or a Challenger that looks plain ‘ol BAD ASS. It has a Hemi. That just sounds like 1969. Did I mention it looks BAD ASS?

[@axelfoley1406]

The modern day Challengers are by far the most reminiscent of the muscle car era, in terms of looks and sound. Cams, Stangs and Vettes are still awesome...But, Challenger just looks perfect.

[@rick6582CNCMedicalParts]

@@axelfoley1406 if you 6-3 the challenge is a much better fit !

[@flipfloplogic]

Challengers really aren't from the same mold as mustangs and cameros. They are sports / performance cars. Challengers are true muscle cars which are mostly for straight line racing. I have a 19 scat pack and love it. Its a great, practical daily driver. The perfect cruiser. The head unit is far better than what chevy and ford offer. I also enjoy the real exhaust growl in the cabin. Mustangs have fake exhaust pumped in through the speakers.

[@superteen1717]

can we get a 2021 charger scatpack

[@pjwatts209]

Boy you'd better let some pressure out those tires

[@malakialkins5332]

Only the left side is a actual working intercooler the right side is just there for looks if you buy one of these cars and open up your hood you would see that the right intercooler actually goes nowhere and the left one actually goes to the engine

[@sulokakatsidze3647]

im intres..what problam have challenger most???

[@genebooher7402]

love this car , drove it with the 6 speed , damn !! hearing it shift is an awesome sound ❤️❤️❤️ I personally don't like the stripes on it looks cheap , plz do the Chrysler 300s with the 5.7 😱💞❤️

[@goldpony]

I'll definitely try! 👍

[@Ao-pj1mc]

I went with the ToRed with bumblebee stripe on the trunk. looks great with the matte black rear spoiler

[@transam1870]

3:28 Is that a memory seat button on the door right below the window vent?

[@BMan100]

Yup comes on these cars now pending your seating option

[@Justacogg]

Are there any differences at all between a 2020 challenger and a 2021 challenger in any variant from the Scatpack down to the six cylinder? Also one thing you failed to mention is on the driver side door there appears to be a set of buttons possibly for power seat memory? I’m not sure what else that could be but I’ve never seen that in any other challenger before. Since you’re highlighting the 2021 model and that is some thing that no other challenger in the past has had I thought that you would focus on that or at least mention it that it is a new option for 2021! Could you let us all know what is that group of buttons on the driver side door?

[@niziksobirov2477]

Please do a 2021 scatpack charger and a widebody scatpack version

[@goldpony]

I'll definitely try! 😁

[@MohsinexploresCanada]

does it only take premium gas?

[@fredwilliams7893]

Yes for full horsepower!

[@bman99ss]

How fast does the Scat Pack feel stock for stock compared to your Mustang?

[@goldpony]

Definitely felt heavier but both very fun cars!

[@josephabdo6664]

i went 6 speed its so much more engaging IMO. also ive been ruined with oaddle shifting by driving 5 exotics over the years and once you paddle shift with a 300k car it just ruins you too other paddle shifting. tbh. lol

[@carguy0389]

What car were you driving?

Waiting for mine, hoping for a Jan 2nd pick up.

[@VFio689]

I bought my car from Stetler in 2019 got a good deal

[@V8guy83]

Please no full digital dash. Or make it an option. Really don't like the full digital like in the Mustang.

[@jbcarsvids4128]

I agree

[@blackice7408]

Im starting to distance myself from these mopar vehicles (and im a dodge guy) because these cars are old, their platforms are aging, and because these platforms are old, thieves can break into these cars easier than if you left the door open. So many cases have come out that these cars are getting stolen

[@goldpony]

I've actually heard that as well... still fun cars tho! 😁

Definitely need a faraday pouch for the key fob.

Thats one fast sofa there. Sucks they don't come in stick. Dodge believes this car don't need a clutch🤥

[@user-gm4kv2my4u]

The challenger comes with a stick. The charger is auto only

[@unjaded2]

should be optional AWD , no reason it isn't offered by FCA.

When they offered the 5.7 AWD a few years ago, they didn’t sell well.

Did you get the driver convenience group package? About to order mine and I know I’m Deff upgrading to the 275 tires which makes you select the dynamics package just don’t know if I want to add the convenience or plus package as well.

[@Challengerscatpack50]

@@TheIcemanCommeth The Plus package and convenience are worth the upgrade. I have a 50th Anniversary Scat Pack and I'm glad it came with all of that and the 275 tires. The 245 tires are pitiful.

[@TheIcemanCommeth]

@@Challengerscatpack50 have the 2021 scat pack octane red, 275 tires & dynamics package, sunroof, automatic, locking lug nuts and appearance package. 43,084 + taxes and tags so 45500ish our the door. Not sure if it’s a good deal or not has the 3k rebates so either pull the trigger or wait for the full power dollars to come out later?

[@Challengerscatpack50]

@@TheIcemanCommeth If they will let you still order it, the Octane red 2020 50th Anniversary Scatpack has the 275/tires/wheels, Alcantara seats/ carbon fiber inserts, white gauges/ sunroof/ Satin black hood, automatic for a little over 44,000 after rebate. No need to order the dynamic package with that. You don't need the 6 piston Brembo's unless you have a Hellcat. But if not, the 2021 isn't a bad deal. The power dollars gets you about $1,800 more off.
