500hp still commands respect. That’s plenty fast.

Is mpg slightly better on Eco mode?

[@JoeDeezy]

@@perz400 depends on how you drive it but yes it could be a lot better going from 807 down to 500 and driving lightly

[@BlackyLee88]

​@@perz400 I would say yes, and the Challenger also has a cylinder deactivation. As long as you do not call up any power you are partly with a 4 cylinder on the road. Of course, such a large displacement always has a high basic consumption, but this can be pushed down a lot thanks to modern technology and a relaxed Foot

[@nathangallegos9304]

Honestly I don’t think Dodge Challengers’ and Chargers’ are dead They have just begun there long journey

[@whatsupwithsteve]

I guess some people like this but IMO I think a more "balanced" ride is more fun on the street. My c6z06 with 505hp was just about as perfect as I've driven. Well maybe my 350z or '05 Mustang (after installing an Eibach suspension). The problem with all that power is the constant throttle modulation as you attempt to keep traction. But hey, drive what you think is the most fun for you!!

[@Theemikebell]

what a ride, and awesome review Miles.

[@TheLeftHandOfGod]

Great video! Still, was hoping you would have hit the interstate and initiated the Warp drive!

[@carsonj4031]

16:58 those all season tires are whats really killing the time. Not sure why dodge thinks all seasons and 800 horsepower go together

[@MilesPerHr]

Better tires are a must, I agree

[@thearousedeunuch]

Dodge knows that you'll be doing burnouts with those as soon as you leave the dealership, and that you'll have to buy new tires soon anyway. :)

[@JussDraftfr]

cause its still a street car?

[@deboiidaaaoo]

You can get summer tires for an additional $695 from factory

[@christophershutts3873]

The upgrade is pretty reasonable price wise from Dodge. They should not have built this special edition with all seasons, as they offer a better tire from the factory.

[@fastlyf98]

They did offer the silver wheels on all the hellcats for 23.

[@Teddingtin]

I don’t see how you can compare this to a gt500. Hellcats are pretty much meant to do one thing: go fast in a straight line. The gt500 is BOTH fast in a straight line and can hold its own in the corners.

[@MilesPerHr]

They compete in the same two-door muscle car segment. There's always differentiation in a segment, otherwise everyone would sell the same car, just in a different color.

[@Teddingtin]

@@MilesPerHr Fair enough. I haven’t considered the mustang as a muscle car for awhile though.

I rented a Charger Scat Pack WB on vacation last year. It was an absolute blast to drive. My goal is to try and rent a Hellcat this year. However, if I had to chose between a Scat Pack and Hellcat for myself, I'd choose the Scat. The Hellcat has outrageous power that is no doubt fun, but I feel like the Scat Pack was the perfect amount of power for the street. I was able to keep it in Track mode and I always felt in control of the car. I could break it loose if I wanted, but it wasn't losing traction at speed like in this video lol. And it was still plenty fast. Best case scenario would be a Scat Pack daily and a Hellcat for the weekend!

I don't like how they are ending a great car. They are difficult to find and the dealers are continuing to bend people over with inflated mark ups. I bought a 2021 challenger scat pack. Had to buy a 21 because they quit taking orders for the 22 and it was months later before I guess you could order a 23. Never have figured out how to order or find a 23. The 21 I found I really like but the dealer charged me $500. More than the original window sticker.

[@matthewwitzke4520]

You have to learn how to launch these cars. They are not easy and it takes a lot of practice. Launch control is not the way to extract the best times. I can consistently do 0-60 in 3.6-3.7 in my 21 Hellcat and 3.3-3.4 in my 21 Redeye on stock tires and on unprepped, but clean surfaces and all documented. This has taken time to master, but it can be done, especially after owning 4 of these cars. So 4.5 to 60 is probably correct for someone who has no idea how or the experience, to properly launch the challenger.
