Are Widebody Chargers and Challengers worth the Money? Consider This!

[@TheSaxyG]

I got a Scat Pack widebody: I think it's one of the best looking and handling cars I've ever driven. Compared to the RT I had before with 275s, the 305s and the better suspension have me making corners at speeds that would not be possible on 275s.

[@patthetrucker5670]

I got one too in 6speed manual. I get attention everyday.

[@vf12497439]

Never having a wide body to compare with... my r/t on 245 fronts and 275 rears is the most amazing handling car I've ever driven. Was that your assessment before your scat pack wide body? I've had dynamic suspension on an off road machine and it was amazing. Same thing on the road I imagine where your amazed at the difference?

[@ThePlutoArmy]

pretty true + 11inch wide tires hold well

[@augustdrums1247]

I absolutely love the look of the widebody, and everything with it. It's just hard for me to justify the 6k on it. That's $120 bucks more a month for fender flares, bigger brakes, and bigger tires and some suspension adjustment. So as much as I want the wide body, I end up getting the narrow and saving the money. But if it's in your budget hell yeah I say go for it. The narrow body comes with a new tire purchase right out the gate, but still less than 6k and it does have the classic lines. I swore I would get a wide body next time, but dealers are charging 5-10k over for the widebody and I got my narrow body for MSRP.

[@leathernlatexmicrominiskir3784]

@@augustdrums1247 Don't forget those WB have a lower top end speed due to aerodynamics (if that's important to you and consume more fuel) but supposedly will outperform a HC on a roadcourse. Also you will definitely NEED PPF, rock guards like ZL-1, on all 4 wheel wells because those wide tires kick up debris, rocks, gravel etc. So you end up with a scratch up paint job and that might bother alot of people who are anal about keeping that finish nice. It will just cost more $$$ for the PPF as well when it times comes time to replace those 305 wide tires and brakes.

Actually, you can get the adaptive suspension on the regular body, and drag mode suspension on the regular body 1320. The wide body Charger definitely looks better. The bolt on flare on the front of the Challenger cuts into the body line on the front fender. The Charger doesn’t have this body line, and the look flows better. I wouldn’t kick any of them out of the garage though. You look more natural surrounded by Mopars. It’s like putting on that favorite pair of comfortable shoes. It just fits.

[@scottandrews4822]

The WB package also contains a shift light, 4 piston rear Brembo brakes to go with the 6 piston front Brembo brakes, larger sway bars, the Bilstein suspension that is adjustable with the drive modes, and the requisite exhaust valving with each mode. it's definitely not just a "wheel, tire, and FRONT brake" package.

[@sexybitch6605]

It's a $6,000 option with the Adaptive Suspension and 305 wider tires. When it comes to replacing those tires and Brembo brakes I can only imagine how much the cost will be to replace those brakes?🤑

[@louispulitano7087]

Wide body's make these cars look 10 times better!!

[@Vffr1]

The RacerX I've come to know and love, is a drag racer. In an almost 11 minute video, you never even came close to talking about the weight difference between the cars. The WB is noticeable heaver and the wheels will make the WB a slug compared to the non WB in drag race I think it's 2-3th slower. Triple

[@scottandrews4822]

Nope, not true. The top end is effected slightly [5 mph] , but the quarter mile, slalom, and 70-0 tines are much better due to increased tire footprint on the ground. I do get what you're saying about the increased rotational mass, which is somewhat higher. But, we're not talking VW Bettles here and the difference in rotational mass is way overcome by the traction difference that allows you to launch the car so much harder and with much less wheel spin. Spinnin' ain't winnin'-- unless it's a burnout contest.

[@microminiskirt]

Wide body has lower top end speed, with worse gas mileage but is faster on road course than a regular HC. Is widebody better as a daily driver on city roads and freeway? Or is scat with "DYNAMIC OPTION" with 275 tires better for all around driving. No track usage.

[@jaceblack7842]

Great video comparison and looking at the issue from a different perspective: the narrow body requires the Dynamics Package for obtaining the preferable 270/45 tire wheel set up and larger front brakes which runs $2,395 and the adaptive suspension costs an additional $995 so we have a $3,390 total. Given this fact, the wide body runs only $2,610 extra and you get the 305 wider tires. Or, you can go with the 1320 narrow body for $3,995 and you get the preferred 275/40 wheel and tire set up with adaptive suspension (I took this route). Or, you can go the narrow body TA route for $3,995 which includes the 275/40 wheel setup and add the adaptive suspension for $995 and you also get cold air induction. And, you can add the dynamics package for reduced price for the larger front brakes. So various options exist. I did not know any of this at one time and originally purchased a narrow body SP and the car had the 245 tires. I kept the car about one year and then traded for the 1320. (I should have been watching Racer X videos and I would have known more about these features before I purchased my first challenger).

I just went thru the driver in window at a bank with my new Charger Scat Pack with the narrow body. The car is big and you have to watch the clearance with the narrow body. I can't imagine the wide body.

[@MsCarrie71]

Hey RacerX. The reason you don’t get fog lights on the widebody is because the fog light location is actually a air duct to your brakes for cooling.

[@microminiskirt]

SO THIS MEANS THE REGULAR CHALLENGER BODY DOESNT HAVE BRAKE DUCTS BECAUSE OF SMALLER BRAKES? IS THAT NECESSARY TO HAVE COOLING DUCTS ON BIGGER BRAKES BECAUSE YOU MUST GO AT HIGHER SPEEDS TO GET THAT COOLING UN LIKE CITY DRIVING. I WOULD PREFER TO HAVE THE FACTORY FOGS IF THEY REALLY HELP WITH BETTER VISION.

[@scottandrews4822]

exactly!

[@scottandrews4822]

​@@microminiskirt I think Dodge feels that the WB cars will probably be taken to the track more, and the brake cooling ducts will make a big difference in brake cooling and, therefore, less brake fade. But you're right - in regular city driving, you will see little difference. Mainly on the track or carving canyons. Remember, the front brakes do 80% of the stopping on a car, so they can get hot 🔥 in certain circumstances.

[@microminiskirt]

@@scottandrews4822 vERY true and consider the Challenger is 4,200+ pounds so like anything else the more weight, the more wear and tear on everything especially the brakes. But if you don't drive like that and just cruise around easy like grandma/grandpa you are still hauling all the weight around. Perhaps the weight will contribute to the comfort and ride on street roads in isolating those nasty dips on these ill maintained public roads we have here.🤢🤮

[@scottandrews4822]

@@microminiskirt I have a 2021 Charger Scat Pack now and just traded it on my new Challenger T/A 392, so I'm familiar with the weight. However, I feel that Dodge has done such a great job whrh the engines and suspension that the weight is not felt. And it's not like a Camaro or Mustang are the weight of a Miata, so its all relative. If it was lighter snd smaller, then maybe a 485 HP engine wouldn't work. Regardless, I loved my Charger and will love my Challenger too. Plus, I have a 2022 Ram Ecodiesel that is kind of the other end of the spectrum. #Moparornocar

[@butleroferic1135]

I think the wide body options are better. My only gripe is that the car industry is really inflated right now. These dealers want a crazy amount of money for base model cars. Just saw a 2020 hellcat near me with 7k miles, no alcantara, leather or suede, no drive assist package, 275’s all the way around for $75k plus taxes. They’re out of their minds.

[@AStanton1966]

You have to consider that MOPAR is making no more V-8's after 2023. Get 'em while you can! I just picked up a new Charger Scat Pack and had to pay full sticker. A closer dealer to me had a $1,000 over sticker mark up. It's simply a sellers' market between the V-8's going away and the supply chain shortage.

[@michaelthebarbarian3380]

I have to say that the road manners of my 2022 Challenger Scat WB M6 have been very impressive for such a large car. Also, according to Dodge the Scat WB suspension was re-engineered for the 392 cars to take advantage of the car's lighter front end and better weight distribution. So it is a different set up than simply bolting a Hellcat's WB kit underneath.

I decided to dodge literally the wide body on the Challenger and decided to upgrade the bigger brakes on the Challenger narrow body by adding the dynamics package which I preferred and I was still able to keep the overall price of the car cheaper than a wide body.

Check the settings on your adaptive suspension setup. The steering effort and feel is adjustable and you may have the steering on Track mode. But, in any case, larger and wider tires will be a little harder to turn, if only for the increased rotational mass. With the Dodge's excellent electric power steering system, it shouldn't be that much more difficult though unless the steering is in Track mode. I hope this helps.

Ok so my reg scat was 74k but I wanna trade it in to get a wide body should I? The only reasons it was that high was because I added a paint protection plan while the wide body is still cheaper then that

[@michaeldunn5997]

Devil Rims...best looking modern wheel of any auto maker.

[@Unknown-oz7xs]

I’ve been looking for a video like this! Thank you!

[@keithwheeler5467]

Wide body up close looks like they just hung an aftermarket mod their not molded into the fenders , looks cheap , I prefer the other look

[@truckingwithj7202]

Same here, I love my widebody, but I wish it had a more finished look to it.

[@bashpaw]

Love the channel! Curious, my 2021 widebody scat has more features in the SRT mode with the addition of transmission. I did not see that on this one. Apologies if I missed something.

[@jondickson75]

Great channel. Thank you for what you do

[@PatCurrie]

I had the fender flares on my 2008 Mustang. Wasn't wowed then so my 2017 SRT392 is perfect. I'd rather put the dough towards leather, Nav & audio.

[@8speedhellcat889]

Idk man 6k for plastic fender flares 🤷‍♂️ if the car came molded with a wide body and not just stuck on I would understand it. I got a white knuckle 2021 scat pack shaker with brass monkey wheels and 6 piston red calipers. Side note- You said you can’t get the 6 pistons unless it’s a widebody but that’s not right. I have them on my 2021 narrow body

[@Newwhips4ya]

Hi X I think its coming down to which cars will be the collection worth out of all the models that's where I'd put my money example hellcat motor straight body vs hellcat wide body cuz dodge is offing buy back program what's ur take on that ??

[@shocktrp66]

1320 is a better bang for the buck than a widebody. The only disappointing thing with the 1320 is that it doesn't come with 18" wheels like the Demon & Super stock.

[@Serenessl1994]

And it only come in auto

[@Chris-vq1jt]

why is that?

[@panama2500]

The narrow body doesnt appear to have dynamics package, no 6 piston brembos and flat steering wheel, also wheels on dynamics package cars are much different...

[@paulvwhalen]

Thanks again as always for the great video. I agree after all my research , if you buy a scat you need bigger tires and I prefer to get the better suspension. By the time you add your performance options for the narrow body you are approaching the price of the narrow body , and the wide body comes already with 305's and rims. Winner winner chicken dinner!!!

[@MR.TOYBOX]

The 1320 is were it’s at!

[@jerryjeff4089]

So aside from the flared fenders is there an actual difference of the physical body or the actual width of the cars?

[@rockhopper01]

Prefer regular Challenger body. Wide looks cool on Charger though.

[@Ramblequist]

at 3:27 that is for a M6 ? I ordered narrow body, but with dynamics and adaptive suspension, so will I get Suspension choices too?

[@LamontBoucherville]

Can't wait for dodge to rejoin Nascar

[@justpray365]

I agree. They should never have left. They won the championship and walked away.

[@ardelld8465]

Definitely! I am exited to see what happens.

[@dinkone7943]

I have had both and I love the wide body try to drive it every Day

[@XOBOYSRT]

Just ordered my widebody scat on Wed in smoke show with red guts 😀😀

[@bigfly_214]

The problem I have with the widebody look is that it looks glued/bolt on instead of a smooth fabricated look

[@Gene88.]

Same here bruh but if I say that out loud I’m hating or can’t afford smh that’s why I didn’t trade my 19 Scatpack not worth it.

[@DrippyMazda6]

Beautiful, powerful, gas guzzling police magnets! Once you get this car you are instantly a target by feds and thieves. Dangerous to own but super fun to drive!

[@jerryjeff4089]

Take it easy dude, obviously you have never owned a fast car before.

[@cracker135]

Great video and comparison.. I’m a slim body guy, just what I like. Thank you again!

Is there any clear way to spot fake/aftermarket Widebody from the original one by just looking at the car? Thank you!

[@ronl8495]

Depends on the tires you run, I have a 2018 scat with the Bilstien High-Performance Suspension and a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A\S 4s in 275/40. Around corners I get no understeer or oversteer at any speed! From a roll I get virtually no tire spin, the only way I can break them loose is from a dead stop with my 6-Speed Manual. Great vid once again X!

[@djwilliams9842]

What about the shaker Challenger I haven't seen yet for 2022?

[@oawefajweee]

IIRC the hellcat NB has the same antiroll bars as the WB, but the WB has the 'widebody competition suspension'.

[@kenclarkson3493]

The hellcat suspension is the same whether narrow body or widebody. The widebody Scatpack has a different setup from the hellcat including hollow sway bars and the stiffest spring rate in the line-up.

[@oawefajweee]

Widebody competition suspension is its own different line item on the window stickers of hellcat challengers

[@frankmmiii]

The six-piston Brembos can stop a loaded dump truck. I bought my 2021 Challenger Widebody Scat Pack T/A edition in the Gold Rush with only 3000 miles and I've only put 100 miles on it, between driving it home and running around town. Those 6-piston calipers stop the car like it hit a wall.

[@robertsegrave1398]

I have some questions about the widebody vs the regular challenger. I may have found something that proves they’re bodies are not the same with just a kit

[@tomyunt1839]

Personally I like the straight body better than the wide body they look cleaner and the cost isn’t worth it 👍

[@jerrygd4]

I agree

[@brody8857]

i personally love the widebody on the challenger but normal on charger

[@bobreynolds744]

I agree. Love the straight body with a shaker hood.

[@jmavlogs0729]

Looking to get a used challenger soon. Perhaps a widebody. Should i get minimum 2016 and up models only? I read somewhere 2015 models and below have the most problems. Any tips/advice are highly appreciated 😊

[@Yocannon]

I have a narrow body Hellcat charger, bought the wide body kit for $1800

[@mr.noway77]

if you get option of widebody scat pack vs NARROW body HELLCAT... which one would you pick ?

[@alfredoserralles5396]

If you want to save some money go narrow body, install Eiback pro lowering springs,bigger sway bars, strut tower braces,subframe connectors and Michelin pilot 4s 285 front 305 back and you are ready to Beat the widebody and still save around $2,000 for new set of tires plus your own personal satisfaction that is a custom build 😝😎🦶💪🤩

[@jamesfrint4979]

Great cars and a good looking t-shirt too.

[@alanzolotoff6014]

I ended up buying the standard hellcat because I couldn’t see paying $6K for wider wheels & tires and fenders. If it was $2K more I would have ordered the wide body, but hell no it’s not worth it on the hellcat ! 👍👍👍

[@21scatpack46]

My thoughts exactly. $2k and I would have been sold, $6k and I was OUT! Got a ‘21 Narrow Scat in Frostbite and I’m happy!
