Do you REALLY need a Charger Hellcat or is a Charger ScatPack 392 enough???

[@CarDr.]

Coming from a Dodge dealer automotive technician, I have driven all kinds of Chargers and Challengers. I bought a 16 scat brand new for the value. I feel like scatpacks will hold their value more than any other trim level offered. If I went to the track and had money to waste then the hellcat is the better choice. If I was going to rack up the miles, then overall cost is more important (v6 or 5.7 hemi is best). The scatpack is in the "goldilocks zone" that can relate to everyone.

[@joefelix3985]

The SCATPACK is the most popular because it makes the most sense in terms of affordability and pretty much round that HP @ 500 ponies which is the perfect recipe for street and HWY. I have a WBSP “SMOKE SHOW” 2020 Looks just like 2022 no different then the 23’s other then STICKERS! When I’m driving to my house in Palm Springs, ca I get nothing but thumbs up👍🏾Hellcat, sure would be nice but for an extra $25-30 G’s these days I would save your money SCATPACK has enough power⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️Hold on to it because it’s about to get CRAZY if you have one✌🏾

[@bjohnson9759]

I personally think having a Hellcat is about status especially if you never go to the track or do any type of racing. My Scat gets away from me occasionally and reminds me that I'm good right where I'm at 🤣🤣🤣. But do whatever makes you happy and buy what you can afford; don't forget to include the maintenance and upkeep fees because that premium fuel is a bitch sometimes.

[@Kc2Heatz]

I’ve had a v6 5.7 6.4 and a redeye. A person can have fun in a 5.7 to be honest but it feels far different in a scat. Same from a scat to a cat. If I never had a cat I’d be satisfied with a scat but after having a cat it’s hard to go back on power and I guess that’s because I actually use all the power. You notice the difference even if you ain’t using all the power. I agree you can be happy with a scat tho it’s more then enough power for most.

Hellcat owner here. For me it came down to the fact that I figured I’d never be able to get a new hellcat if I didn’t get it now. So I ordered a 2022. But I think if I got a Scat, I would have been plenty happy with it because it’s a great car. I have to say the Laguna leather, supercharger whine, and extra punch made it worth it for me.

[@cjmcclain115]

Its based on what you can afford, I have a cat and very happy,. Its all relative bro and how much power you can control

[@sertater]

It depends where you live, what you can afford, and if you need the power under your foot. I test drove a 2022 charger GT followed shortly after by an RT. The power of the GT felt similar to that of my dad's 2014 Nissan Sentra SR, obviously it got up to speed faster and just felt overall like a nicer car, but the RT was in a different league to me. I don't know how it feels to drive a Scat or a Cat, but I personally feel like an RT is just right for me.

[@STARFIGHT88]

Fo sho...I've had both...that same thrust you feel at the rt at 20 mph....can't be felt at 50mph with the scat...better gas on the rt though 👍

[@jones9309]

Don't drive a Scat or you will want one because of what you're "missing" out on. RT still gives you that sweet V8 power with over 300HP which is plenty to have fun with. Also gas is a lot cheaper than a Scat! I'm going RT or Scat Cats out the picture lol

[@rockjonez61]

The real question should be “What’s the cost of OWNERSHIP! In 3/21 I bought a 2018 Durango R/T Brass Monkey. I wanted a 392 Durango but the price of routine maintenance was the deal breaker for me. I’m happy with my decision. From a dig, on the streets, there’s not much beating me off the line in a 30 MPH zone stop light to stop light lol! That’s my world.

[@S8ER]

Thats completely true... I just did rear brakes on my Durango at 17,500 and it was $1300. Tires made it to 15K and that was $2600 just a few months back. Maintenance can absolutely crush people if they didn't plan for it.

[@WoolfJ35]

This is what nobody talks about the maintence for those higher trims is absolutely insane, those tires aren't cheap, neither are the brakes, rotors, insurance, gas most people just want to flex lol I almost got a SRT Jeep until the dealer explained to me how much all the maintenance was lol

[@DougandMichelle]

I’ve had a ‘12 SRT (bought new) auto Challenger and got HC fever in ‘17 plus I wanted a stick. I got one and only kept it about a year. It wasn’t just the cost of the car, the insurance was 34% higher and (I like to do my oil changes) it was even harder to do my own maintenance (the oil cooler needed draining too). I now have a ‘21 Scat Widebody stick. It’s the perfect car. I’m not going to drag race or take it to any other race track. It’s plenty fast for normal street use. Sounds great too (I don’t miss the supercharger whine). I really love it and I’m keeping it.🥂

Why do people want a smaller motor? Is it pure laziness? Obviously a 6.4 has more potential than a 6.2 maybe these “cats” just want something from the factory that’s BAD! If you want to be “BAD” from the factory than the hellcat 6.2 supercharged is an AMAZING OPTION you need no work just stick your key in and you feel like a gearhead but if you are willing to do “some” work to your car obviously a 6.4 has more potential!!🤷🏾‍♂️🧠💭✅ Ps.

[@azraell33]

I test drove a Scat before the Hellcat I bought. When I test-drove the Hellcat there was no question about which one I wanted. I have had powerful-built cars before. The drawback to building your own is if it breaks or you have problems with it its on you to fix it if you dont know a good tuner/mechanic. If I have problems with the Hellcat I can just take it to just about any dealer to fix it.

The upgrade was worth it 100000000% lol no regrets at all. Came from a widebody scatpack to a 19 regular body hellcat with great amount of options & it came with very low miles 1.8k. At the end of the day get what you want & can afford. & for the record the scatpack is more popular & sought-after because of affordability. Not the case for everybody but for most yes thats the case.

I'm that average American and the Scat and Hellcat was out of my budget, so I settled for a RT Challenger. I considered trading up to a 392 Challenger, but, took on a second car payment because my wife needed a new car. Plus I still have my truck, that is my daily, that requires gas and maintenance. I'm happy with my RT, plus I plan on keeping the car. I can always upgrade to 400+ HP once the car is paid off in 2 years. Honestly If someone were to ask me, out of all the trims, the 392 is the way to go. Hellcats are just too powerful for a daily. Plus you're asking for tickets!

Hellcat owner here, I gotta say you make good points but you said you're buying another car for essentially a bigger engine but to be fair if you're coming from an RT you're doing the same for a scat, but I agree 90% of people should be stuck to the scat cause truthfully most people can't handle the power of a hellcat, or a scat for that matter. Sorry the truth sucks y'all but most of y'all dont realize how much power a scat really has, I came from a 2020 RT and learned the power and at one point it was insane power but after awhile I got super comfortable with it but I WAS happy with i loved the exhaust note better than the scat and I preferred the RT but I really wanted the supercharger whine so I traded up to the hellcat and it's perfect, I trained myself to the 700hp on eco mode with 500hp limit just to get comfortable instead of launching headfirst into the road legal rocketship. I'm seeing people say hellcats are for status, i personally think the exhaust sounds better than the 392 and the whine is amazing. That's what I wanted it for, not even the insane power that I have inevitably fell in love with.

Scat is the perfect daily driver, you can do anything you could do in a hellcat (obviously to a lesser extent) like breaking loose, sliding, burnouts etc and being loud and rowdy. You can supercharge your 6.4 and build the bottom end for less than a hellcat and be faster too if that’s your goal.

[@quorthunsargeras7054]

Bro, supercharging a 6.4 costs way more than buying a stock Hellcat. The work PRIOR to installing a supercharger is $10-$15k in itself. The 392 is not a very customizable and mod friendly block.

My Cat is an 18, same color, same interior, same sound, same wheels. It had 21k on the odo. 100% perfect, no wrecks, still on stock tires. Got it for 50k. In 10 years it will be worth more than my Scat Pack would ever be. But I did buy Scat new and Cat used. So thats a difference.

[@lemmingfiftyone]

I love the current Charger. Big, comfy, great looking sedan with serious performance. A Hellcat Charger of course would be the first choice. The pinnacle of wonderful American V8-iness. Do I really need a Hellcat? 🤔 No, which is good because I cannot afford one. 🤑 I really, really do want a Scat Pack before they're discontinued. Do I really need a Scat Pack? 🤔 Honestly, besides the pure joy of the extra 115 hp and 80 lb-ft, I can only justify the extra cost over an R/T based on the Scat holding or appreciating in value as a future collectible. 10-15 years from now, a final year loaded SP WB could be worth a lot. But even with a beater 2nd car as my daily driver, I know I'll still drive the wheels off that bad boy. I'd have 2 tons of fun with it, but how much value will be retained with 150-200,000 miles on it? An R/T would be a far more economical and practical choice, yet still be stupid fast fun and have Hemi cache. Do I really need a R/T? 🤔 A GT with all-wheel drive (then add wider wheels and a tune) can be the hero in most 0-45 stop-light grand prix. And still be a very good, comfy fast ride. There it is, GT AWD. Saved myself $20-25k. And yet 🤔, while the V6 performs and sounds good, it is not the siren song of the V8. I'm pretty sure I'm going for the Scat. Wish me luck.🤪

@@tookayseven yeah that’s a steal! Just make sure you look at the Experian auto check report and see if it’s been in any bad accidents or ever stolen. Turned out my hellcat was stolen and I’m in the middle of a lawsuit with the dealership.

[@beatsbyjee1563]

i have a hellcat and honestly i think if I got a scatt it would've been just the same. you cant really even unleash the true power of the cat on a normal road for a daily driver so I'm starting to feel like a scatt would've been a cheaper and overall better choice

[@zachmahan377]

scatpack is the sweet spot of the lineup and best daily of them all. hellcats just keep getting marked up at that point id rather get some sort of amg benz at the pricepoint they are asking for them

[@NickB2Blessed]

I got a scatpack charger slim body.. The ultimate goal is definitely a Hellcat 💯💯

[@aslysa2277]

Your car is still hella beastly and not many like it at all in the street so W for sure I have a new 2022 slim scat in white and get so many comments and attention I guess people rarely see scatpacks in florida

[@danielhunsinger8017]

This video keeps me thinking of a lot of things. The Hellcat is the ultimate Dodge. But on the streets I still come up with it's to much power for everyday driving. I can't make any sense out of it other than I would love to own one. Its the best of the best in terms of suspension, engine and interior quality. It's not much different than the Scat pack except the suspension , well the wide body has the adaptive suspension so there's that. If I where to land a Hellcat, it would take the place of my Scat Pack. It would live in the garage , get detailed and go tot he drag strip a few times a year. I probably would take it to shows, but that makes me a little nervous as people tend to touch the cars, I'm all out of anyone touching my car. I think if I did get a Hellcat, I probably would get a Challenger . The Charger is the overall better car . The Challenger has that iconic look to it. I still think the Scat pack and the Hellcat is a bit much for daily driving. The R/T the more I think about it, is the perfect daily if you don't have snow. The SXT or GT AWD is the perfect daily if you live in bad weather areas. That AWD system is unbelievable how good it is and believe it or not, the V6 is still a damn fun engine. Not to mention you can mod it and get some good power out of it.

[@TheMrcadillac310]

When I got my Hellcat it wasn't about status I just wanted to be real fast with a warranty, my Scatpack was cool but I wanted to be faster than a Corvette, it wasn't a hey look at me, the Cat just gave me a rush!

Huh? The 392 also uses a lot of gas too😂

Lol stop letting people fool you. I've had two scatpacks & now a hellcat they both burn damn near the same amount when you're not going full throttle all day long.

I can't say what anyone else needs. If you can afford an HC, want one and can find one (!), then get one. I just purchased a '21 Charger SP WB. I love this thing. 485 HP is difficult enough to keep out a ditch or from around a tree...for me anyway.

I have 2019 scat charger i got back in june and I'm absolutely satisfied. Yes i over paid but thats the cheapest one i could find. The power on tap is absolutely insane. Everyday I daily it to work and it behaves as I want it to! I can chill or I can fly, I can rip it or I can burn it up. I don't feel intimidated by hellcats because they honestly look afraid of there cars like its to much. I also have a 2013 Zx14r that i dont ride at all becuase 98% of stuff on the road is not a match for my stock 1400cc beast so i understand how hellcat owners feel. The most thing I'm debating on the scat is tune or not and wheels. I just took it to Mississippi and turned heads in my lil town. I got 28 mpg doing 65 and about 25 doing 70mph. The 4 cylinder mode works less efficiently closer you get to 80 mph. Smooth ride all the way. Spent $65 on gas both ways 440 miles. Trip ended back in dallas with 1000 miles. No issues no ticks still ready to go. Love it no regrets. Payments (premium with tire warranty and 150% gap all that stuff) with statefarm full coverage insurance is about $900 monthly. Still full manufactory warranty till 60k . Man it's my baby and I gladly pay that.

In my case, I own a 69 Dodge Charger R/T, a 2013 Dodge Challenger SRT8 with a 6 speed, 2015 Dodge Ram Sport, so I'm ready for a Charger Hellcat, which I've ordered. It's a matter of opinion and choice. I want a hellcat because I've been blessed with all these vehicles throughout the years. So, I think, in my opinion, a Hellcat is worth getting in my case. For the first time buyer that can afford a hellcat, should get one if desired.

[@kal-el698]

My boy 360 I have a 2022 scat pack just bought it a month ago, today while heading home two 5.0 mustangs were bullying me, when I pressed the accelerator I left them eating dust. I love my scat and I will never sell it for a hellcat. That deeper sound from my scat is unique tho.

[@megatronmack213]

I have a Go Mango T/A. I could have got a hell cat, but all I was concerned was having a cool car. And I wanted something I could make a daily a day driver. I love my car and I'm completely happy with it.

[@frankhill7849]

I have a '21 Challenger 392 WBSP and I don't regret not even thinking about going with anything more powerful. - A Scat Pack's zero to 60 time is 4.2 seconds - A Hellcat's zero to 60 time is 3.6 seconds I don't care how fast my car goes in a straight line. I realize some folks do. So, for the extra .7 second 0-60mph time, which is what I really care about on the street, it is simply not worth the additional $20,000 price tag. Also, the Wide-Body Scat pack will outrun a Hellcat on road tracks. The WB Scat handles better, with it's larger adaptive damping suspension than the Hellcat. The road course is a hell of a lot more fun than straight line down the strip... IMHO. Also, as mentioned in the video, you could upgrade the Scatpack with forged internals, a cam, straight-pipe headers, and twin turbos to bump the stock horsepower to an earth-shattering 1,100HP+ for roughly $20,000...But unless you plan to drag race the car, it's meaningless under real world street conditions. Dollar for dollar, the Scatpack is still your best bang for the buck.

I have a 16 B5 Blue Scat Pack and I'm so happy with it. I get so many compliments and thumbs 👍 up on the road. I pickup my daughter from school and all the kids are like WOW I love your car.

Much smarter just to keep your2019-2023 scats, and upgrade them eventually with the stage kits from mopar. Damn near hellcat power, for less than 1/4 the cost than it would be to upgrade to a hellcat. Sounds like a win to me.

[@brownbriansjeep9020]

i really like the scatpacks but went with a hellcat because of the internals , supposedly the valve train is susceptible to lifter tick aka hemi tick but the engines built for boost have better quality parts that aren't prone to lifter problems etc

Don’t let people tell you otherwise. Hellcat or bust. Owning a ScatPack for me only lasted 3 months. It’s slow barely beat an old 06 AMG. Hellcat owner and only thinking what else will be out to top it(combustion engine) yeah waiting on Ford.

You hit the nail on the head with this one! As much as I appreciate the power of the Hellcat - I can't justify the cost difference. line a scat and cat up in a dig - and you'd expect the cat to win by a GREAT margin - but you'd be surprised. AND like you said - I'm not taking my Scat to the track or racing like that! I just want to gap those Honda's, Toyota's and Nissan's that think they can keep up with me! LOL!

[@quorthunsargeras7054]

an AWD v6 Challenger can beat a Scatpack or Hellcat from a dig under 40 mpg. Doesn't make the v6 faster... A promise you when you get 40+ mpg from a dig, a Hellcat would absolutely completely annihilate a Scatpack or any other trim below it. It's not even a close contest.

[@XboxAlive]

Well you may be gaping a Corolla but you aren’t gapping my Toyota Supra. I walk Hellcats with just a few simple mods. Yes you can modify a Hellcat for more power but it simply cannot compete with the way the MKV Supras wake up from a simple down pipe and tune. The Supra also doesn’t look like regular traffic. GT-R also going to walk a hellcat. Hellcat is a respectable car it’s just too damn heavy to be gapping anything more than a Civic Type R. Dodge owners think the Hellcat is King but it’s far from it. Also the prices Dodge owners are willing to pay is absurd for what it is… Regular traffic, no one’s excited about seeing a Dodge on the street, but people yell… Is That a SUPRA? It’s so common it’s become a meme… Not hate just facts. ❤
