I also love that you've kept it mostly stock/clean. It's one of the things we got the most commentary on about our R/T as well. The Charger is an excellent-looking vehicle and makes impact - even with the smallest alterations - but even right out-of-the-box.

Great video man! I just put out my 170,000 mile review video myself on my 15 SP! Few things to note, the transmission is a ZF 8 speed, which is a german transmission. Second, the Scat Pack is only a 392 or 6.4L- everything else is either a R/T or below model. Dodge even dropped the SRT 392 later and you could argue the Scat Pack is a SRT but I could careless either way. Once again, great video- I enjoyed it!

Another grand note about BRAKES. The ability that our R/T to take the speed, handling and daily-driving we had - on the original brakes - was amazing. Another gold star for the Charger that far too-few are talking about.

[@jwhite0074]

My challenger scatpack is the same year same color. I'm at 57k miles and I daily drive it, (no road trips). However I drive in track mode only so I've gone through 6 sets of Nittos tires. I absolutely love it, no problems whatsoever.

[@chargerforward128]

Love hearing stories like this. The value and ongoing dependability of our vehicles is SUPER-underated. We put 100,00+ on our previous R/T, with flawless performance and we'd still be driving it had we not gotten hit at a red light. If people take care of their Charger, they'll have it for a good, solid long time. The content here is of excellent quality and I appreciate your perspective! Will be sure to check back in regularly!

[@M305-e1g]

Fantastic video, especially hitting on the point that this is in Fact an R/T Scatpack and not an SRT. Also the Torqueflight 8-speed isn’t made by Chrysler, it’s a ZF 8HP sourced transmission which is why it’s so solid and reliable. Nonetheless, I look forward to seeing more videos of this thing as it racks up more miles!

One of the other things that's been a 'common complaint' on the Charger is that "the interior hasn't changed in ____ years..." It's because it's SUPER EASY.

Having used enough rentals over the years, it's so nice to come BACK to the easy and straight-forward usage that's focused on inside The Charger.

Speaking from experience, the sound your exhaust is making at 18:04 is your driver's side active exhaust module failing. This just happened to my 2020. Easiest way to confirm that this is the issue is to put the car in track mode (disabling the active exhaust function) and seeing if the sound goes away. To fix it, you can either buy a new module or install a bypass like the MFER1 (which is what I did).

I have to recommend the Nokian ZLine series of tires for anyone interested in having better handling in wet conditions of any kind. They were an AMAZING, affordable tire, that I'm so sorry I found only at the beginning of our 100,000 miles on our previous Charger. I also urge you to find someone/a shop that will provide some great storytelling about - ANY TIRE YOU POINT AT. There's a difference between giving you ask for, and finding out what you need. Far-too-many shops simply wanna' hawk their most-expensive option/tire-match whatever you've got and we're fortunate enough to have someone that educates us about tires.

The amount of idling and rough driving that car went through. You should check your lifters and your exhaust manifold bolts. 2 of the most common issues for the 5.7.

No transmission work done! Currently at 177k miles

[@rajvosa71000]

My '18 Charger with the 6.4L developed ticking noise that wouldn't go away with just over 50K miles. Bought it brand new. Delear replaced all lifters and a cam and I still hear the same ticking noise. Very disappointing, especially after paying so much to "fix" it. Dealer said it makes a normal "ticking noise" that you normally hear from the injectors etc. But I drove 2 '19 scat packs with more miles and none of them had that "normal" ticking noise.

I'd like to see the dyno after 6 years to see what it's making crank and wheel now. Love the paint and the front end is still looking great not pitted and chipped. Did you have ppf in it?

[@LifeatSpeed]

The paint on the front is still in great shape, despite no ppf being installed. That's a good idea about the dyno. I might need to do that. I can tell you it feels to pull just as strong now as it did 6 years ago.

[@MrM4rvelous]

@@LifeatSpeed yeah! If you can squeeze it in that would be great 🤞🤞 Really appreciate your video sir. If you're interested in seeing what our car can do against the competition check out the playlist on my channel. 😎

Would love to ask you some questions if you would be so kind as to answer. In the 155,000 miles of ownership what problems have you encountered? I know you’ve heard of the infamous Hemi Tic and there are several theories and I can buy into the validity of all the theories. However, my theory is maybe not running better grades of oil and not keeping it changed when it is supposed to be changed. I ask this because I have a 2018 392 Scatpack Charger that is within 5,000 miles of the warranty running out (55,000) and I am seriously thinking about turning the “Themostat” up considerably. An aggressive cam, intake, throttle body, long tube headers, catless midpipe, a seriously aggressive tune, etc. Most people who modify these engines opt to do away with the MDS when doing a cam swap. I don’t know that I necessarily agree with that. I mean it has worked flawlessly for 55,000 miles so why fix it if it’s not broken? Now if it is a design flaw that is a ticking time bomb I could see preventing that from happening but I’m not convinced that this is the iron clad reason where the Hemi tic comes from because there are manual Challengers that have experience cam/lifter failure and manual transmission cars do not have MDS so theory busted. Your thoughts and problems experienced please. Thank you in advance Steven

[@LifeatSpeed]

Ours hasn't experienced any issues outside of what I laid out in the video. It's been rock solid up to this point (now has 167k miles on it). As far as the "tick" if it is in fact in the lifters, than doing a cam swap should solve that problem if you replace the lifters at that time (I definitely recommend new lifters with a new cam). If the "tick" is in the fuel injectors as some have suggested, depending on how aggressive you go on your upgrades, replacing the injectors with new larger ones should solve that problem as well. Hope this helps and good luck with the upgrades!

[@AlexHernandez-ob7hn]

What options does the scat have ? Plus good group, sunroof? I’m looking for a similar one with similar uses.

[@mrhyde0705]

Damn i feel great about my 11 with 160k now.

My Toyota Corolla S is pushing 700,000 miles and still runs like new.

[@thetruthaboutfacts224]

Probably doesn’t make 485 hp

[@MattHawk5.0]

some scatpacks come with the 5.7? i cant find any info to support that anywhere online. pretty sure all scats have the 6.4

[@LifeatSpeed]

It is possible I've seen people with "upbadged" base R/Ts

[@thedaytona3929]

@@LifeatSpeed yeah upbadging doesn’t make it a scatpack bud it’s still a 5.7

[@2.3T_Candle]

Awesome video man! But some tinted windows on this ride would look sick👀

[@LifeatSpeed]

Thanks! Yes, I definitely need to tint the windows

[@WeLoveCars47]

The 2022 ones say srt when you shut the car off and say srt powered on the engine doesn’t say r/t on it anywhere whatsoever , even has the new gauge cluster from the srt models but it’s just an r/t very confusing because the srt models minor tweaks

[@Chestnut1998]

Wow! I was looking at a 2017 Daytona 392, had 3 owners clean carfax 141k miles for $22k. What do you think?

[@vLittle666]

Sick car man!!

[@LifeatSpeed]

Thanks!

[@cashthestampede6629]

When did the scatpack ever come with a 345???

[@TheSprykilla]

I loved mine unfortunately at 76k it threw a rod threw the block was covered under warranty. But then again I got it used at 28k so who knows how it was mainted for those original miles

[@MrJRamos-ei2xv]

Extended warranty?

[@TheSprykilla]

@MrJRamos-ei2xv yep got it from a Lincoln dealer and they gave me a pretty nice extended warranty

[@flybygaming9678]

Super surprised you haven't gotten pulled over for all the "mods" (according to California) that have been done.

[@MrM4rvelous]

As the owner of 2019 6.4L this is great to hear. You never had the bubbling on the infotainment screen?

[@LifeatSpeed]

No bubbling on ours

[@MrM4rvelous]

@@LifeatSpeed awesome!!

[@ShaeJ_Shae]

My 2018 had that issue at around 60,000 miles. It took about 3-4 months after contacting Mopar but they sent a replacement directly to the dealership and they put it in for free.

[@MrM4rvelous]

@@ShaeJ_Shae yeah huh? Anything else?

[@MrM4rvelous]

[@mrktm65sx]

Does your SP have adaptive suspension? Another SP reviewer said the ride is stiff unless you have the adaptive suspension, so I'm curious about your experience.

[@LifeatSpeed]

Ours does not have the adaptive suspension and I would not say the suspension on it is stiff. Yes it's firm, but it's also a high performance sedan.

[@iYoungxKhalifa]

Need to put some tint on there to protect the inside from the sun

My E55 AMG is still strong at 200k miles.

My 2012 GT I got a couple years ago with 60, now has 180k all about maintenance

[@davion_boss22]

scatpack with the 5.7 doesn’t exist but great video all around

[@LifeatSpeed]

Thanks, yeah I've realized the "Scat Pack 5.7" I've seen are upbadged 5.7L R/Ts. Thanks for the feedback!

Make sure you change your water pump because mine went out on Christmas Eve.
