As a proud owner of a T/A 392 Challenger, I think all of the last call editions are home runs. Hellcats get the most attention, but I will attest that the 485 hp 392 already has more power than one would need for a daily driver. These are just great, great cars. I'll never buy an electric vehicle.

[@gwoo39617]

Just picked up a '22 392 T/A WBSP 6sp...best car I've ever owned hands down (traded in '11 R/T Classic 5.7L)...pick these monsters up while you still can!......AWESOME!

[@lazarogonzalez4882]

Good to see my challenger drivers here! I own a ‘17 392 TA on full bolt ons and e85. Crazy fast car and that’s coming from a 2016 GT full bolt ons as well.

[@LulzFam-th2yb]

Hell yeah brother i went and got me a ‘23 Scat Pack with the shaker. Fully loaded interior. I fit all 4 kids with ease. I loved my 5.0 stang. But the additional seat in back, the side hook for the front seatbelts, and that flip lever that folds and scoots the front passenger seat to let the kids out with ease. Even going back to the exact setting it was at. This is the best dad car ever. Even with 4 kids.

[@asbrandonsconcerned]

Yep it's a complete shame that muscle cars are being eliminated.

[@GoMango_Scat_392]

I have to agree, yes everyone may want a Hellcat, but I also can attest that my 392 Charger is plenty! Love that V8 rumble and feeling the car shake at a standstill.

It will never be "last call" for enthusiasts. Great review on a badass muscle car! The Dodge Dart Swinger was a great car too for classic muscle.

I have a 2018 Hellcat Widebody. Still love it and will be hanging on to it. The color of those wheels, love that. Getting away from the black which seems to be on everything with sporty intentions these days, and that shade of green is pretty cool too. Anyway, Dodge going electric means they lose me as a customer. If I were to do a trade in on another sports car, Ford and the Mustang would get my business.

[@nxko1]

Great video Joe! Also congrats on the 1 mili!!! I had a chance to pick up one of these 2023 shakers but instead opted for a 2023 hellcat jailbreak because I was able to get it with 0 mark up. Albright u test drove the new shaker and man it’s amazing. Dodge does it right with these challengers may not be the most practical but so much fun!

[@davidwolf226]

I just love that through-back green color that was common on the 1970 debut of this iconic model!

[@belchbat9955]

If your wanting to make the rear seats more useable making it a manual control for putting the seat down quick makes sense and it’s super convenient

Nice to see the Challenger with wheels that isn't black...I just took delivery of my 23 HC Red Eye a month ago and the first thing I had done was had the black wheels recoated with a bright silver...as far as the exhaust tips I think they really fit these cars and look great the way they are...I'm glad they ain't round or worse yet quad tipped.

This is my absolute FAVORITE last call trim if you could add the hemi orange package on top of that kick ass green it would be absolute heaven to me. Just my personal preference because im from the country and i love camo green and orange together but its still my fav even without that extra stuff

[@fizeksteacher]

Awesome review as usual. Just got notification that my Charger is scheduled for production! Any chance of an on throttle in the Last Call Super Bees?

[@JimJWalker]

Jerry Ulm Dodge is an amazing dealership. They have ALWAYS bent over backwards for me. There was an alternator recall on my Challenger, and they charged me for the battery that the alternator destroyed. I called the manager, who was not in town and left a voicemail. He called me back within 30 minutes and I was refunded. Always treated amazing. I cannot recommend them high enough.

[@TheSpeedDemon64]

Hey Joe, did you know that the Challenger used to have a quad-tip exhaust? The 1970-1973 models had the quad tips but more of a square shape. They do the vacuum-style exhaust because it flows with the boxy shape of the car. And I believe the same thing happened with the 2011 Inaugural Edition SRT8 392. I also want to see a quad tip option but more of a circular shape to it.

[@wesalexander2693]

Great review, Joe, thank you! I'm a long time Ford guy but this Challenger checks all the right boxes, starting with a very cool, clean look! Really like the color and the wide body look. Who cares about technology when you have that sound and power! I could be tempted to trade in my '18 Shelby GT350R!

[@bryanwashington9511]

Basically a slight detune of the 6.4 HEMI 10 hp less than the Scat Pack 485 to 475. A 426 HEMI would be a good engine option for these last call Challenger and Charger models! And a manual transmission would be nice as well!

[@DemocratsRDemons]

Except it's not. All Challengers in 392 have 485hp/475tq. Raiti quoted it wrong.

[@mpsangha]

They list them at 485, but they're pushing over 500 crank no doubt, dynos support this. Mopar has been known since 60s to underrate their engines.

THANK YOU for letting the automatic shift itself so I can at least get a guage on how it feels. So many reviewers ONLY use the stupid paddleshifters irritates me to no end. Get a stick if you want to shift. I had a ZF in my Wrangler and loved it, but the ZF Torqueflite in the pentastar Grand Cherokee was lurchy in the first couple gears. I'm definitely gonna test this one.
