For this video review, we hop in depth about the Dodge SRT 392 Challenger with 485HP and a ton of smiles. Being one of the few true muscle cars left, this Challenger doesn't have the four doors of the Dodge Charger, but it's one gorgeous car. Thanks for watching!

Do you dig the scat pack? Thanks for watching!

[@CarscenesNC]

ThatDudeinBlue I didn't know you review boats now

[@andrewgrierson7164]

ThatDudeinBlue they still have the 5.7 david

[@hennessyviper]

ThatDudeinBlue you do realize that the scat pack weighs 500-700 pounds more that a coyote mustang and terminator cobra and on the dump I bet it make the same power as a coyote soo why even mention those cars the challenger is a boat and that's a fact that's why there over powered..

[@skyisdlimit6125]

Best most comfortable best looking of the 3. it's the most muscle car of the 3. the other 2 is more like sports car specially Chevy. Just look at the mustang it looks like a Ford Fiesta I mean Ford Taurus

[@neovenom9833]

It's a car that drives like a boat, and no waves, of course it is pure comfort. Scat pack, terrible name. Even by today's standards, If they wanted to use "scat" they should have gone with 50 shades of brown. But it is a true muscle car. The new Mustang I do not consider it a muscle car, it is much more of a coupé, good power fused with performance oriented suspension.

Yep me too

[@Sam_Pillay]

They didn't ditch the 5.7. they ditched the 6.1 for a 6.4 in the srt models. The r/t still has the 5.7

[@lb9gta307]

I_Am_Sam he's confused by the Scat Pack not being an SRT

[@Sam_Pillay]

Nicholas Rodrigues Oh

[@TheIrishPhantom]

It's sad they ditched the 6.1. In the Cherokees people are pushing them to 1300+hp. It was built the best and had a true closed deck block ready for insane boost.

[@fzj8022]

Mopar Magic 1:24 "They ditched the 5.7" He obviously didn't research before he made this video

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

I_Am_Sam thanks for clarifying!

[@concepts6581]

Dodge is nailing it... What an awesome time to be a car enthusiast! HP wars from Ford/Dodge/Chevy

[@Dangerwiggles]

The challenger just looks like the serious father of the Mustang and Camaro. Camaro is the older brother, and Mustang is the little brother sneaking out to do donuts.

[@jrcautomotive4319]

kiraanimerawr1 Lol the Mustang came first, then the Camaro and Challenger.

[@jamescurrence1644]

The Scat Pack comes the original muscle car era, a group of Mopar enthusiasts had basically a club with a news letter, so the Dodge made the Scat Pack Challenger. It's super cool to see it come back with the new car, and in my opinion the folks at Dodge hit the look of the Challenger out of the park!

[@davidhollis2734]

Here is the secret to determining which of these monsters is the best.... think about which would make you happy... that one is the best... thats it! There's always going to be a better, badder one next year so if your trying to be the fasted or the flashyest, your chasing a ghost. Don't second guess or buy one base on some stupid spec you think makes it the best. Do you think you would be making a smarter purchase by getting the one with 50 more HP than another or one that is 1/2 a second faster in the 1/4 mile than another? There is nothing rational about buying a car with more than 350 HP so why the hell would you get one based on a comparative analysis? I bought a 2016 Challenger SP with 6 on the floor. I read all the comparisons and knew the manual 6 was slower than the bad ass auto 8, but I got the manual anyway. Why? Because, in my mind, I saw myself ramming through those gears and I was happy. Life is short, do stuff that make you happy.

[@t.k.morris]

David... Are you still glad you bought the car? I am interested in buying a new car with a naturally aspirated motor and a manual transmission to drive with enjoyment. I can live with a v6 in some cars but would definitely want the v8 in one of these. I had a 1970 Dodge Charger with the 383magnum and pistol grip shifter with 4speed manual when I was 16, later I got a brand new 1976 Pontiac Trans Am 455 with the 4 speed manual. Years later I bought a 1971 Chev Camaro Z28 with a custom bilt motor and 4 speed manual. Those cars were a lot of fun to drive. I haven't had a car like any of those in a long time. Do you have any recommendations? I really don't want to pay more than 45k for any new car.

[@Maine76]

I would say he is happy with it!I own a 2011 Charger Se with the 6 cylinder and other than yes the smaller engine,these cars,Chally and Charger are such comfortable,fun,reliable cars!Thats an impressive list of cars you had,must say im jealous!But if your in the market for a new muscle car i believe its a no brainer to go with ScatPack,they can be had slightly used for under 35k all day long but new your prob def pushing the 45k mark and then some!You def get alot a bang for the buck it seems.Hey you live once man you should have things you want,I was recently diagnosed with a terminal disease so puts things in perspective,I'm thinking myself of going today to look at a 2016 Scat with 23k mile for about 34k,If i can get him down a few more I'm getting it!This vid confirms it for me!I know you asked the other guy his thoughts but figured I'd chime in a say that I'm positive you won't be dissapointed at All,485hp with 460lb ft torque is more than enough,unless thats too boring you could get a RedEye WideBody or the 1320!Damn its a beautiful time to see and be able to own one of these fascinating absurdly fast punch you in the gut and ask for more cars now!Happy hunting man and good luck 👍Mopar or No Car

[@borntorj1794]

This comment stopped me from buying a scat

[@jayyf3609]

@@borntorj1794 bad bad mistake

[@DBGMLV]

I share the thought on the tire size. 245's are way too small for 500hp. I bet the Charger can take a 305 on the back with no rubbing. To me all cars are undertired fromnthe factory.

[@couldbeowen5826]

DBGMLV Tru

[@2JZUL8R14]

DBGMLV I'd say a 285-295 would be great for this car

[@cutthroat795]

DBGMLV it's for mpg and other regulations.

[@RoadkillJTA]

The widest I've seen people go on Chargers and Challengers is a 315 wide tire

[@zachmockett7566]

Joe Andersen considering I plan on running 245s on my e46 330xi... yea that's ridiculously small for a big muscle car. My dad's 07 Mustang GT is running 305front and 315rear and its totally worth it

[@SyndicateLobo]

I like my tuner cars but deeeeep down it's Mopar or No Car

[@Mameyaro]

"Maybe I'm just a dad." Thatdudeinblue jr. confirmed

[@paulloyqishen9472]

Randy Buxsel lol

[@TheDutchTexan]

When I drove the Hellcat Charger I loved how that transmission shifted! But, in case of the more "vanilla" SRT8 challengers I'd need to have the 6 speed. No matter how good the auto is, at that power level you can still bang gears with not a lot of traction issues.

[@Basslightning666]

Dutch, your reviews are great Bro!

[@boltonc5z304]

This guy lol, I'm 6 foot 200lb and I can fit in the back seat for a ride comfortably.. and for sure a lot better than a mustang and Camaro. You didn't even hop in the back seat, just looked at it lmao

[@mpsangha]

I'm 6'2" 250 and fit comfortably back there... Couldn't believe what he was saying either.

[@budgetedgaming]

@@mpsangha I’m 5’9 150lbs and to me I’ve got enough room and some to spare XD

[@RBeeMedia]

Performance seems pretty damn good for such a heavy and N/A car ! It seems to be the best compromise between a Hellcat and the R/T.

[@samidarwish86]

This car should come with a Glock compartment, beer opener, grill, and freedom❤️

[@BoostedBuckets]

That's a shaker hood not a hood scoop haha so you can like see the engine move around while you drive I remember someone saying

[@ahnafzaky4600]

Somehow you nailed the definition

[@ryanvignogna4643]

Been waiting for a mopar review on the channel definitely should do some more!

[@ryanvignogna4643]

Also not to be an asshat the scat pack is an upgraded SRT package car not RT

[@mustangdocter]

Ryan Vignogna no, it's a downgraded SRT. It doesn't have the adaptive suspension, bigger/better steering wheel, 6 piston brembos up front, and you can't get full leather seats

[@Sam_Pillay]

Ryan Vignogna Yeah he should do a charger some time too

[@reynoutdecourt7983]

Awsome review, David. You covered the driving experience. Most reviewers cover the boring stuff, like sun visors, size bumpers etc. It is the driving experience that matters! 305 tires at the back fine!

[@emeraldages]

Dodge's new interiors are just so amazing now..

[@Blacquie5570]

I can hear the bald eagles

[@benwelter8890]

The tail lights are not aligned correctly.... it's really pissing me off...

[@mhtube01]

I own a 2015 B5 Blue Scat Pack Shaker with the 6 speed manual and it's a blast! You're right about the tires, that's the biggest issue with the car. Sure it's fun to spin tires but they're just not enough. Tell the owner if he wants to improve the steering response and handling, put a strut tower brace in the front. There's a company called Speedlogix that makes one that fits the Shaker equipped Challengers and you can have it powder coasted to match the factory color of the car which I did and it looks really cool. As soon as I installed it and drove the car I felt an immediate difference. Turn in is much more responsive, even though you're still driving a heavy car. I have videos of mine on my channel.

[@cstephenson9223]

I really like the challenger (and I'm a mustang guy too with a 2012 gt ) for one thing I've got to give dodge credit that the challenger is the only car that still looks like a muscle car and it has a sunroof👍🏻 unlike the mustang which does not! It's like my 2012 gt which I thinks is the last of the "muscle car" looking mustangs, which is why I love it sooo much and it looks waaaay meaner than the s550 stangs! So challengers and 2010-14 mustangs are my favorite muscle cars😉👍🏻

[@stevesmith6236]

Even though I am very late to the party here, I thought I'd add that last week ( July 2023), I finally got my dream car, a brand new 2023 Challenger Scat Pack 1320 , "Last Call" edition. TorRed with the plus interior package. WHAT A MACHINE!!! Only owned it a week and I am SO impressed! My first Chrysler product too.

[@evanhartley7351]

Talkin shit on the back seats im 6 ft and its not that bad at all

[@evanhartley7351]

It's pretty comfortable

[@arkher11]

I think the scat pack is a very good choice because the hellcat yeah it's 700+ HP but when are you going to use that much HP. A car you can push to its limit "anywhere" is way more fun in my opinion. For me the perfect range of HP for a "street car" is between 200HP and 500HP max.

[@yeetusdeletus9]

Alix Boutin ig that always depends on where you live. I used to live in a place with tight, twisty roads and I had the most fun in a 120 HP hatchback lol

[@reptilesgamers00]

Mazda MX-5 doesn't have much HP, i'd love to own one. Handling is amazing. A quote from the bike community, "It's a lot funner driving a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow."

[@jonr7207]

I’m a 350z owner and couldn’t agree more. What do you drive?

[@stevew145]

I wish they would have put that engine in the ram rebel... Would have made it a truly great truck.

[@Red_OhFour]

Rusty Shackleford I believe the Power Wagon has this engine.

[@Jaymepenni]

Red_OhFour It does, however its tuned different. I own both in the 16 year variants. Both feel great and very appropriate for there applications.

[@connerbutler1077]

Red_OhFour well it's the truck variant so it has more low end torque but less higher end.

[@ianmcdermitt3626]

the 6.4 Hemi is in the Ram 2500 and Power Wagons

[@razvanmihalache5680]

Chrysler loves sharing: engines and platforms (with 1990s MB).

[@UltimateCARNUT]

After driving a scat pack I fell so in love with the motor i immediatly just thought.... what about this engine in a 3300 lb chassis. Then I thought i know the Giulia prides itself on the twin turbo v6 but it could have been better with the 6.4l v8 and lighter

[@5_Star_Man]

You've been killing it with the reviews lately, David! Keep up the great work dude

[@chipthigpen3173]

I am a long time Mustang guy, and I currently own a 2013 Grabber Blue GT like yours (not supercharged, though :-( ), and I have to admit that I absolutely LOVE the 2015-17 Challenger Scat Pack/SRT 392. Thanks for reviewing it! One of these will probably be my next car.

[@zachmockett7566]

I can't say that 707hp is unnecessary, but I would buy a Scat Pack or an SRT 392 over the SRT Hellcat. I like the 6.4's exhaust note better plus you don't have the intrusive supercharger whine. The Scat Pack is definitely more exciting to look at than the Hellcat or 392, though if looks are what matter most; the Daytona or T/A are both awesome. And the price difference? A brand new Scat Pack sells for about $40-43k here in Ontario while a Hellcat is more than double that.

[@RathJ13]

Not really a Dodge fan at all, but I really love what they are doing with the Challenger. Such an awesome car.

[@2773mclovin]

You're making me want another Challenger. This is definitely one of my favorite reviews. Hope to see you at Import Alliance!

[@Lensync7]

Mustang guy here... And I love these Mopars! Lol ! Camaro, Vette whatever ... It's funny when people hate! We listened to our dads about the 60's... And yes cars were amazing as well as the vibe... But we really live in an amazing time where Stangs, Challengers and Camaros are in the low 12 to high 11's stock! Yes... Warranty and all! God bless America!

[@TrashPanda2801]

David you read my mind, I was just looking at the big 3 muscle cars and although mustang GT (now the GT350) is my dream car I was really liking what dodge was offering with the challenger RT and the scat packs giving you almost 500 horsepower for under 40,000 dollars.

[@dailydriven8144]

i have to say the reason why i stay on this channel went from just the cars to the way you video them and show them off and your talks you are by far my favorite youtuber

[@kroniical3830]

My dad just had a car exactly like that but black. Had it for 6 months and sold it 2 weeks ago to a paralyzed guy. He's looking to get a viper now because he's already had a hellcat.

[@IhateYoutube]

I've had my 2011 Toxic Orange SRT8 since 3 miles and I've put 60k miles on her so far and I *always* turn around when I walk away. I absolutely LOVE my car! And adding a 2.3 Liter Maggie just made the 392 just more angry! :) Tires... Oh where to begin... I replace tires (all four) about every 7k miles I just shred all four. I really need to stop buying 245's and step up to a 275 on the rear or step up to wider rear rims but even then there are limitations because of the suspension. Great review! It's enjoyable to watch someone honestly review the car that may come from the Mustang or Camaro or other camps and do so without just pure vitriol. Thanks for that!

[@fadedintegra9781]

anyone else notice that typical dodge taillight panel gap gotta love the quality of Chrysler products

[@lucafabiano4312]

Driveway Swapped Productions they all come with the panel gaps on the tail lights but they come with the tools to adjust it or you could even have the dealership do it for you

[@fadedintegra9781]

Lmao no car should ever come with tools to fix an existing issue off the showroom floor you shouldn't have to fix a panel gap on a car you just gave 30k for hell the dealer shouldn't even have to that's poor build quality I work at a Toyota dealership and we've never had to fix panel gaps on brand new cars

[@TheIrishPhantom]

But Toyota dealers have psychiatrist to keep depressed Toyota drivers from jumping off a bridge.

[@stormtroopervette2894]

sleepybird09 lol the brz is actually pretty fun even though it's low on power. Go test drive one

[@MarchuxProductions]

Driveway Swapped Productions Toyota is great if you want to drive a mind-numbingly boring, shapeless blob on wheels. The last fun car they made (apart from the GT86, which is decent) was the 2nd gen MR2. I'd rather drive the panel-gapped Challenger than any Toyota that you could buy currently. They're junk if you want any fun, as it's against Toyota's rules to produce an enjoyable car.

[@GordisSE]

loved driving those cars at my previous job. especially during a test drive.

the scat pack has usable power the hell cat has show off power

[@cali2468]

im a pirhana I'm not sure what you mean by that. The Hellcats seem to be doing just fine on the street and track. I get the same comments about my Z06 from Stingray owners.

[@keithhasafastcar]

Jay Moore yes the hell cat has usable power i guess i should have explained that i meant usable by common people. anyone can get into a scatpac challenger and go fast with out dying. you actuall have to have driving skill to drive a hellcat because if not you will always ve at the edge of death i know 6 people that bought hell cats and crashed them in a week. and lets be honest 750hp ( the hell cats were under rated at 707hp) isnt really "usable" on the street

[@JR-xo5hf]

The hell cat has a very usable hp. After 3rd gear anyways.. lol but who doesn’t like to know that you can light them up all the way to the beginning of 3rd gear.

[@brandondannys-menary3678]

Put good tires on it and the hellcst it usable..really and car over 450hp can't be used fully on the road but oh well

[@rakman020]

The new scatpack widebody has almost the same track times as a Hellcat less power, but more grip

[@irondino247]

It's great to see you branch out in these reviews, when I first subbed years ago it was just imports & mustangs lol. Nothing wrong with that but love the growth, keep it up bro!

[@gaiustrollius9920]

Try to review an older muscle car some day in the future, like a '69 challenger or mustang. In my opinion they're better than the new school ones.

[@tdotson95]

I've driven a Scat Pack Charger and that thing was badass, probably the coolest thing I've ever driven

[@hugsshrugs9247]

chill is not a word I would ever think to associate with this car.

[@ethanhaynes777]

If you don't care about hellcat name I think the scat pack is more than enough and you can modify it a little to make it better for cheaper

[@bigdee140]

honestly, i love the scat pack. i feel like you get that for the "true muscle car feel" and thats awesome. big power n/a boat, what more could you want out of your muscle car? compact and weight reduction? LOL.. i feel like ppl are missing the point that don't like it.. that being said if i could buy any of them i'd get the red eye manual widebody, that thing is dope.

[@carlosorozco4786]

Great review David! A first Mopar review! I like the Scat Pack version and I agree with you that it is a good balance for performance and daily. Looking forward to the next video!

[@930GearHead]

My buddy has one with a 6 speed, no shaker hood, cloth seats, looks identical to this one.. Its a rowdy car! I love the scat pack because you can almost get a "stripper" model, no options you don't NEED. Just that glorious 6.4, and a bad ass car built around it. I agree on the tire size issue, these should have a bigger tire option. I have 3 kids and really want to get a scat pack Charger!! In B5 blue!

[@TeeOG]

David, When will you review my totally stock, underestimated, slow, 2015 Fiesta ST ;D hahah?? Havent seen david review any yet! Would be honored to be the 1st.

[@marcflamer7846]

As a Scatpack owner I can say that it is the best trim to build upon. It's not as srt so it doesn't have the adjustable shocks so you can easily do coil overs. Fenders can accommodate a big wheel and tire and an engine when tuned right can easily do 500hp at the crank. All for a great deal.

[@hmackprotection1]

You're a Liar if you don't think that 100% Pure American Muscle Car is fukin Great! For only $39k the SP is 350lbs lighter than the HC (4085lbs)..and news flash to anyone who doesn't know the 2015-17 Challenger SP with the A8 trans are low 12sec on factory tires, & guys are hitting 11.7's @116mph with only a SET OF DR's (NO TUNE NO BOLTONS, JUST TIRE) in a 4000 pound N/A Muscle Car! #TorqueMachine Add👉 275's on the front, & 305's on the rear. Lowering springs, Strut tower brace, & Strut tower brace. Trust me, you won't regret it.. Plus the car is sexy as hell, & is dripping with road presence TINT THE WINDOWS ASAP!!

[@zatharos6427]

Soon2Be Fulfilled its a great muscle car no doubt. But Chevy and Ford have both left the segment with their newer model cars. The Camaro and Mustang have elevated them selves from being basic muscle cars, to refined sports cars that can compete with Europe's best but at much lower prices. Meanwhile the Challenger and Charger are still just in the states doing burnouts. They are good cars but are nowhere near the track performance of its former competitors

[@hmackprotection1]

Zatharos, bro, personally I'm glad that Challenger is still a big, & bad muscle car. There is room in the market for all 3. The mustang, & camaro are great sports cars, & I desperately want a Shelby GT350. I respect, & like the outstanding Job GM has done with the Gen6 SS/SS1Le/ZL1/ZL1-2LE..I'm not a brand loyal clown. There are things to like about all 3 No offense, but no one has ever claimed that Challenger is a track/course car. It's silly to even bring it up

[@hmackprotection1]

TheShook One, ok

[@zatharos6427]

Well actually Dodge does happen to have a couple ads trying to show off as being a track car. Not to mention there is an option called a super track pack to be fair.

[@scrubadub1537]

[@boltonc5z304]

I’m tired of people saying they handle like a boat! My challenger scat pack shaker is lowered,305 rear tires strut tower brace over engine bay and a rear strut tower brace in the trunk and ohhhhh man did all those things play a huge role in the car having less roll and “floaty” boat feeling. currently just ordered sub frame connectors which will just tighten up the chassis even more!! As well as improve launch.

Happy to see a Mopar review, haven't read all the comments but I feel a war both ways xD If I ever upgraded from my 2013 Charger the Scat pack with the shaker hood would be one of my first choices, don't get me wrong the Hellcat is incredibly appealing to me, but I like the styling more on the scat pack and the price is so much more attainable. I know their heavy but I love the nostalgic looks and Dodges crazy horsepower and classic mindset!

[@anthonyvenkersammy9385]

idk... muscle cars don't seem like real muscle cars today. They have the looks but it's just a big comfy sedan.

You my friend should keep doing car vids! Because I can tell that you are actually a car guy. The interwebs needs more of this...

[@Jesse.Crenshaw]

I think when I was shopping for a new muscle car last year, maybe 2 years ago, this challenger was priced about 5000 more than the Mustang,dealership prices, not MSRP, and I just couldn't justify the price difference. Otherwise my impressions were alot like yours. fun, comfortable, big. not as lively as the Mustang. Ultimately it felt like it targeted an older demographic, so I ended up with a Mustang.

[@eddiecarter8134]

Jesse Crenshaw I test drove all 3, and they all have their niche and pros and cons. All 3 are amazing cars. The challenger just had more of what I was into, and I appreciate how it stuck to its heritage. And it had the best sounding stock exhaust as well :)

[@tylersevo]

Eddie Carter where are you at in Atl? I'm in midtown

[@hemifire4092]

Jesse Crenshaw....not sure your referring to the challenger...

[@jamesmcbride1553]

I personally think the scat pack is in a class of it own. Because of the size and weight is the reason I ordered mine today. I had vests, Camaro's and many others and they did not perform on long trips like vacations. I did order the over size tires which are 275's all the way around and I like the fact that I can rotate them. Nice video thanks for sharing it.

[@AutoXStang]

I think it is the best looking of the challengers if you are looking for that complete retro look. As for the power and torque aspect.... it's got it, but it's still a land yacht. In fact I do believe these weigh more than the 60s and 70s and they were real steel.

[@nathant2414]

Definitely an old school cruiser that's best in a straight line. Love those kinds of cars. Something you can take out and cruise and not feel like it has anything to prove on a track because it doesn't lol

[@krocialblack]

I'm seeing a whole lot of haters towards this car in the comment section. If it isn't a Mustang or Camaro fanboy talking "My car is faster". It's a import tuner punk spewing their shit all over the comment box. But I'm sure your average Challenger owner don't give two cans of shit about your opinions. They're just in it for the cruising grand touring fun.

[@joshual802]

I was legitimately surprised by how quick the paddle shifters shifted. most cars that have paddle shifters and aren't super cars take a couple seconds to shift after you click the paddle. I'm a mustang guy but this is definitely a respectable car

[@khanpania]

Should I buy challenger super bee yellow 2012 for 26k or 2008 m5. Plz help.

[@eBestWayToLoseWeight]

700lb Ripped Lenny I would get the M5 if I were you. Yes it'll be more expensive, but it's definitely way worth having one. It's unique for its V10, and the new ones don't have that same feeling as the E60s had.

[@chandlercalhoun9901]

700lb Ripped Lenny super bee, M5 is not worth it in maintenance

[@bcl014]

700lb Ripped Lenny super bee brother more cheap parts than BMW.... and you can make more hp with less

[@Youngsoldier93]

700lb Ripped Lenny shut Lenny!! take your ass to the fucking hospital and get your liver checked out!!

[@mastekillerKurD]

700lb Ripped Lenny I would say the challenger, the maintenance cost is so much lower than the m5 and if you want to make power it'll be a little cheaper than the m5 depending on what power levels you want to get to

[@snowdog993]

I am extremely happy with my Challenger 345 HEMI. Plenty of power and just FUN! No doubt about it.

[@icky_thump]

Shawn Brown 345?

[@snowdog993]

Yes.

[@karlhopkins713]

Paul Denney 5.7 is 345ci

[@icky_thump]

Karl Hopkins sure but it's not marketed as such lol only the 6.4

[@snowdog993]

Just a plain R/T. She's my baby.

[@essaarif7941]

David you should try finding a challenger AWD GT. no big KZbinr has reviewed it yet afaik

[@lb9gta307]

Essa Alaa there's absolutely nothing interesting about it. It's just a slower V6 Challenger that doesn't look as good.

[@Cdub427]

I find it funny that this just came out, because my mom just got this same car in red as well 😂 and what you described is exactly why she got it!

[@justplayen4070]

I literally put the shaker on these things as my job

[@robbiefrentz9427]

Dang I’d go crazy until i got my challenger. Got three more years. And i can get the one i want...

[@actingnormal2256]

Tell us more I'm intrigued

[@paesce78]

this would actually be a perfect challenger for me. the hellcat is just overkill for me. this car, although being heavy, is super quick, produces an aweseome sound and still has a naturally aspirated engine. the hellcat sure is a fun car but for everyday use...I can't imagine it. also I guess it's not easy to really bring that power to the ground anyway.

[@jordanneumann9467]

now you need to review a old one

[@mass13344]

I love near a Chrysler factory they test drive literally hundreds of these cars every day I see a group of 20+ cars driving down the road

[@LawrenceTimme]

245 tyres are cheaper for burnouts :)

[@kadkars2753]

You comments on the tires is spot on. They are too skinny! Trying to get a 6 speed scat pack to hook is a "challenge"

[@brethem50c49]

I don't even know why people buy the RT version... just save up a little or don't buy...

[@eldfen1081]

Brethem50c because if you plan on supercharging the 5.7 block is stronger

[@codyday8089]

as an RT owner, go drive one first and then talk. for a lot of people the power is fine and exciting.

[@1Low550]

Cody Mhoon RTs are slow as fuck I smoke them

[@shawncarson8131]

Brethem50c You're still getting close to 400hp with the 5.7 which isn't bad at all. Plus like an above commenter said, it is a stronger engine. It also has a more torquey characteristic than the 392. Perfect daily driver engine in my opinion.

[@eldfen1081]

LowCammed2V lol your cammed 4.6 smoke stock challengers?

[@wolfman4lph4]

I really want a scat pack in charcoal gray with the shaker hood, that'd be killer

[@ryanevans8145]

You need to drive the new 2017 Camaro Zl1 with the new 10 speed

[@irondino247]

Ryan Evans Just saw one in person the other day, thing is nasty!

[@hamie577]

yeah but camaro are not the great, its slowest out of modern muscle cars

[@irondino247]

anisa rehman Idk, I'd disagree on that. The 1LE is pretty beast.

[@matthewp.5291]

Daymon Rondino it is the fastest of any of the muscle cars on the market.

[@matthewp.5291]

I did.

[@cristopher8186]

I like how the tail lights don't evenly connect

[@LS1OfAKind32]

245s ?! My FRS use that with less than 200 ft-lbs.

[@suhdude6550]

LS1OfaKind Blog it!

[@LS1OfAKind32]

Blog what?

[@snakes5506]

That's why you need the wide body, so you can put 305s and a little more

[@DareToBeDeviant]

It's so weird seeing that Superbee logo tossed on any Dodge now. In the 60s/70s it was unique and thankfully brought back for the Dodge *CHARGER* recently. To see it on a Challenger is a little weird to me. Nice car though. If not for the excessive weight I'd consider one. No one tells me the exact reason they're so heavy other than "Chrysler fucked up".

[@Photoshop098]

The Challenger and Charger are based in the 300C platform, wich itself its based off a late 90's Mercedes Benz E-Class chassis they got from the partnership with Daimler. The Chassis itself its pretty good for what it is, but have in mind they had to reinforce it to meet new safety regulations, So its a bit heavier. Then there's there's components like the engine. For example, the Hellcat engine block is iron (they did this with reliability in mind, because of the boost and heat) instead of aluminium like in most modern engines, that's a lot of weight, and so on. Its heavy because its built kinda "the old way" , just to get cheap Horsepower and good looks :)

[@DareToBeDeviant]

Finally! Thank you!

[@lambosrkwl]

The next gen challenger is going to be built on a modified version of the Alfa Romeo Guilias platform though so it should be a lot more modern both in terms of weight and stiffness (for better handling).

[@mikegay8511]

Now I'm impressed about the Challenger. Everything that a friend of mine rated about it, after seeing this and building one up from Dodge. I could still get one with a manual transmission. I still want a Mustang GT. I love the Challenger Scat pack.

[@Viktorrhansen]

it need the pistol grip :O

[@samgaudet5756]

There's no replacement for displacement... except a big turbo;)

[@atlanticimports6939]

485hp isn't considerable when it weighs more than 4200lbs... mustang gt is the better car. Sorry not sorry.

[@powelboy667]

It looks like you did more color grading for the intro shots in this video. It looks really good! The way that red becomes almost pastel while still maintaining the gloss finish is great, good job dude.

[@anthonyptaszek8751]

ayeee

[@keithcowger2058]

hellcats come with 275s all around. It seems a little small but dodge did a good job with their traction control and power distribution so it doesnt spin too much. However, traction control off and its a spinning machine, quite fun on back roads.

[@keithcowger2058]

they definitely could have put some more meat on the rear tires, also the p zeros are nice for a daily but not sticky enough for 700hp
