You can get one pretty easily if you dont mind going the dealership route. Yeah you might get alot of shit for overpaying, but when it comes down to it, everyone does it. Dont worry about getting approved, theres credit unions that will approve you if you have job history and a good couple grand upfront.

I have been kicking around the 2 for years. Back in 2017 I missed out on the SRT Durango by 3 months and it bothered me a lot for the first year or 2. But recently I have been reconsidered my position especially for a daily driver. My Neighbor picked up a Jeep SRT and he said the gas mileage is horrible. I have a R/T Durango and it gets way better gas mileage and I use it as a daily. My Wife has a all wheel drive 2019 Charger in Purple and she loves it. She wanted a HEMI but they didn't offer it in all wheel drive. That car has a nice amount of power for what it is and the HEMI absolutely has more power and is much more fun. or a Daily Driver I think the 5.7L is a perfect balance between fun fuel and daily abilities. Dodge has done a great job offering all the different engine and trim levels so there is one for everyone. Excellent job on the video, Thanks.

I could not agree more, the R/T is a great package. I too was a drag racer, drove some fast cars ON THE TRACK, but on the street, being careful and smart, the R/T gives you a pretty aggressive fun experience. I leased a 2019 Challenger R/T Plus about a year ago and for a retired 74 year old guy, this car is everything I could want. It handles, stops, accelerates and sounds beyond my expectations in every daily driving condition, exceptional I would say actually. The car under normal driving is rock solid, comfortable, with every amenity one could want on a high tech near luxury car. The Challenger is proven, reliable, and clearly evolved over the years into a perfect muscle car daily driver.

Like one of the poster below, I have the RT with 5.7 and the 5 speed also. I too average the mid 20s MPG and high 20s on road trips. I have driven several 5.7 RT's with the 8 speed. The 8 speed is a bit quicker and is better around in the 35-40 mile per hour driving speed. The 5 speed really does not know what gear to be in at 35-40 mph vs the 8 speed has no problem. Having said that, the 8 speed removes some of the true character of the car that the 5 speed has. The 8 speed feels like you are driving a Volvo muscle car when you hammer it. The 8 speed does everything right, smooth and perfect. However, the 5 speed when hammered holds each gear longer. You really feel the complete torque curve of the engine. The 5 speed sometimes can not make up it's mind what gear it wants to be so the motor has to make up for it's in-decisions. Just like non professional driver would if the car had a manual 5 speed. The 5 speed gives you more of the old school muscle car personality like the manual 4 speeds back in the day. Just my 2 cents.

I drove a '16 Charger R/T for a year before tragically losing it in an accident on the highway, but shortly afterwards managed to save my pennies and get an '18 R/T which I've been driving ever since. I've not had the opportunity to drive any of the higher packages, but I effin LOVE the R/T! Granted the fact that the mere existence of the Hellcat has me constantly scratching my chin, its performance would largely go unused by me as there's no track near me and I don't race. The R/T is technically more car than I need but exactly what I want. Hell, I never really even put the thing in sport mode and still smoke 95% of the cars I meet.

Great video man! Could have walked away with a 2018 charger scat pack with 2800 miles... I chose a brand new 18 R/T.. do I regret it? actual I’m neutral on it. Why I say that it because yes in my opinion (coming from a 3+ year R/T owner) the scat pack is THEEE BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK, I mean come on you get the look, the power, the brakes, the suspension, etc.. and the R/T just simply does not have all that. Both cars have there pros and cons. I LOVE my R/T. And I’ll never bag on anyone with one when I get my hellcat. Because they are not by any means a slow car. There fast cars, and they are really fun to own. And they can take 8lbs Of boost easily so. It all depends on the driver. Me for example I’m happy with what I have. The 5.7 HEMI is the face of the mopar franchise and anyone with a mopar should not forget that. IMO

There are lots of fun cars to drive, and I drive my 2019 Stinger GTS which is also fun to drive. Not much weight but plenty of horse power to get you around town in a hurry. I think it beats an RT's maneuverability in traffic where acceleration, lane change and stopping is most important. At 73 I enjoy the game of catch me if you can.

Appreciate the RT love. The 5.7 gave birth to the 6.1 6.2 and 6.4 motors. I think people forget that because of the new powerful motors in the scat and hellcat the 5.7 has been a staple and workhorse motor dodge has ever made. It been around since 2003. I just think Dodge needs to rate the horsepower to 400hp vs 370hp. People would gravitate to the RT

Great looking Daytona 💪🏼 The 5.7 does allow people on a tighter budget more appearance and performance mods. I have heard some straight up nasty sounding 5.7’s. The exhaust is one of the first and best bang for your buck. Get video 👊🏼

Why do you or anyone else not mention the fuel savings that goes from an 8 cylinder to a six cylinder when it reaches a certain speed.? I have an RT Plus 2020 and i go from 14mpg to 26mpg on highway with cruise control at 70mph. I love my Charger.

Wanted a good hwy car. Daytona with 5.7 was it. Good performance, great handling, very comfortable, great mpg, quiet just eats up hwy miles.👍👍👍 loved this car😎👍👍. Nooo I think 5.7 takes mid grade. I used Costco premium and got great mpg!!👍

The 5.7 Liter Hemi has 407 lb-ft of torque. What you feel in the car is the torque; not the horsepower. Horsepower is for top-end speed and for a daily driver that is almost never an issue. Also, the 5.7 liter is a little lighter than the 6.4 L and a lot lighter than the Hellcat. Since the rest of the car is pretty much the same otherwise this weight reduction moves the center of gravity down and rearward; both of which help handling and overall performance. Properly optioned, a 5.7 Liter is a sweet package especially when compared with the plain vanilla competition.... most of which have more in common with toasters than performance cars.

Completely agree. Had an r/t plus and loved it. A handful in rain an especially snow. Drove the scat and it’s too heavy to be a race car and too impractical for a daily. Also nobody options a scat well so you need the srt 392. The r/t is the best of both worlds for a daily. (Allegedly) raced many scats and to 127 they only put a car and a half at best from a roll, less from a stop. Great car. My 87 grand national is a bit more fun, but you crash you die. The r/t is a tank. Walk away from a 127 wall crash (allegedly).

I drive a 17 Charger RT and i love it. When buying new, the pricing gap between a RT and a Scat is somewhat small (as long as both cars are comparably equipped). Insurance costs seem to be quite different between them, but mpg should be close. When buying used, theres a pretty big gap in price. Scats hold their value well while RTs dont. I bought my RT for around $23k with 33k miles. Used Scats were going for $35k! For a daily, the RT is perfect.

Took about seven years but my co workers finally cracked me on the HEMI. I liked the modern design of the 2015+ Charger. Had one six years ago as a rental. Base rental fleet SXT V6 and nothing to argue about high 20’s/low 30’s for highway MPG. Even as a base rental, hood design, smooth ride, modern technology and safety. Had a lead on two different 2022 SXT AWD Blacktop with NAV/Travel. Was a good dealer trade possibility but…both SOLD….moved to different zip code range and found a sleeper April Build Daytona Indigo/black. Will be picking up next Tuesday and the position ferry back to North TX will be the “test drive”

I got my '19 base model R/T at the end of November for 31K (before tax/fees/etc.). Main reason was car price, gas price, insurance price being much lower than scats. In a couple of years (maybe less if I get a couple raises and prices come down!) I'll end up selling it for a scat but for right now the r/t is solid in my position.

I'm 17 and I bought a Red 2014 Charger RT AWD. Best decision ever. I put a cat back exhaust on it and it rumbles like a scat pack. During the winter I put on snow tires and this car will NOT get stuck. I drove it in a blizzard with 7 inches of snow and it didn't get stuck at all. In fact, I tried to get it stuck but it would refuse to. Having a v8 awd muscle car is the coolest thing ever
