Is the 2023 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack Swinger the BEST new muscle car?

[@bobbyricigliano2799]

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.

[@TuanaSchumacher]

amen 👍🏻💪🏼

[@josepharagon108]

392 has 485 not 475?

[@bobbyricigliano2799]

@@josepharagon108 485 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque

[@JimiJamma]

Just picked up this vehicle at my local dealership and the smile on my face won’t go away. I had the biggest grin watching this video too, I love this car.

[@omarcortes5754]

I guess it's never too late to become a swinger. This Challenger looks fantastic, loved the color.

[@RaitisRides]

I see what you did there!

[@extroxfps]

i am a bit late but congrats on the 1 million subscribers!! you have come a long way from driving cars professionally, teaching, and youtube. keep up the great work joe. we love how hardworking you are and the cars you bring to us on the channel to showcase. much love man!🖤

[@RaitisRides]

Better late than never! I appreciate you being in the journey with me!

[@abrahamnutrition]

Even though it doesn't have 700 or 800 HP I still love it! This color and the shaker scoop. Just perfect!

[@RaitisRides]

I agree with you 100%

[@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.

[@mickeybrumfield764]

Joe does muscle car reviews better than anyone.

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks Mickey!

[@garyfuller392]

Thanks! You guys are the best!

[@Basslightning666]

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.

[@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.

[@asbrandonsconcerned]

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

[@pharoahmonk50]

That Swinger is a beautiful ride with its green metallic color and silver accents. Someone will enjoy owning that soon to be classic!

[@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

[@joecovey2235]

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.

[@RaitisRides]

You have a keeper for sure!

[@lazarogonzalez4882]

Can’t go wrong with a GT350

[@jtysondavis4092]

Bought this one Friday in this color thanks to this review. Great car so far. I smile as much as he does while driving it.

[@davidwolf226]

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

[@jackhammer2671]

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.

[@Cats_Are_Scary]

Your one grip, always zonking the mopar exhaust tips. Keep up the great show! Love it!

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks so much

[@DoctorHemi]

Just a slight nit-pick, but the Swinger was also available in White Knuckle color. F8 Green is my favorite of the three available Swinger colors.

[@RaitisRides]

You are correct! Good call!

[@asbrandonsconcerned]

That shaker view out the windshield is awesome!

[@davidp2888]

It’ll pass everything but a gas station and sound great doing it! I’m not a Dodge guy but this is a beast.

Do not forget Lori's great camera work. Spot on. The Raties Ride team is the best at reviewing and showing vehicles.

[@DannerBanks]

I kind of like the yellow splitter protector

[@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.

[@luv4life1]

Raiti you keep us entertained always 😅. Great video as always

[@markburns4650]

Just bought this same edition and color. This car does not disappoint. The F8 Green really stands out as a gorgeous color especially with those wheels and shaker. Loving the SRT power and looking forward to making a few spirited runs.

[@jhustler1992]

I love my 2023 Challenger R/T Scat Pack 392 Hemi!!! Dodge really did a great job with the last year of the Challenger.

[@leeterwilliger2303]

Not a Challenger fan normally, but I have always loved them in that color.

[@leeterwilliger2303]

If they did a side exhaust before rear......that would be cool.

[@treydelaney4870]

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

Hello Raiti, I have a 2023 TA Widebody Scatpack 6 SPEED MANUAL B5 BLUE fully loaded minus sunroof on order.... I am beyond excited, and I got it 7k off MSRP from Mark Dodge in Lake Charles Louisiana. Good dealers still exist! The wait is tough! I ordered in April... No word on a build date yet 😞

[@abdielpedraza4149]

did you get it delivered already?

[@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!

[@malcolmar]

This car is GLORIOUS! Such a shame it is going away :(

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!

[@Tripp393]

Whoever designed this car really studied fatherless boys. They knew exactly what they would like lmao

[@mueldaddy]

What function does the shaker hood perform, because the air intake is the blue air filter?

[@Kingvx21]

The shaker scoop feeds cold outside air to the backside of the airbox that the blue filter sits in. The open headlight feeds the front side of the airbox.

[@garybishop4030]

I don't believe that car has the open headlight. My Scat Pack didn't until I changed it.

[@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?

[@tonyaleibach3042]

The power in those cars are scary it will put you back in your seat what sound

[@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.

[@elizabethwallace1843]

I love this car; just got one for my garage!

[@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.

[@anthonyrose8]

Great job as always!

[@davidclements7187]

There is also a White Knuckle color avalible, The bright green is a 6so manual.

Great review. The angle of the camera at the end when you went on throttle was disappointing because you never get that feeling of speed light you do when the camera is set straight forward. 😢😢

Back in the day, this babe gave me a ride in a Dart Swinger. Joe, sometimes the name is actually the name, whoo hoo!!! Just kidding but what a cool last tribute to the Challenger and the shaker hood, always extra cool. Excellent review Team!

[@GoGoOpie]

I cannot get beyond the fact that it doesn't come with a sunroof. Salesperson told me it was for weight reduction but I don't care. Can't pay 70k for a car without a roof
