NEEDS A V8? 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack Review

At least this one will be hard to steal :/ I sold my scatpack for nearly what I paid for it back during Covid after putting 50k miles on it and that MF literally got stolen from the dealer 2 days later. Cops were at my house asking questions and I had to show them security cam footage of me pulling in my driveway the night it was stolen (2 hours away in another state so the footage proved I couldn't have been there when it got snatched)

So a car is immediately a pos if it isn't a ICE anymore? A least this looks pretty good, but since it is EV they shouldn't have done the fake exhaust thing. Although I did see a video talking about dodge and possibility of bring back the V8 due to Donald J. Trump's election win

This thing offends musclecar enthusiasts because it’s pretending to be something it isn’t; it’s inauthentic. Performance EV enthusiasts are offended by this thing because it’s trying very hard to be an ICE musclecar (which is not the experience persons seeking performance EV’s are looking for at all), so also inauthentic.) The noise maker seems to turn off both camps- muscle cars need to make real noise, and EV’s shouldn’t be making any noise except for electrical hums if you’re really leaning on one. By building a car that has to be BOTH EV, or ICE, they’ve built a horribly compromised version of both. It’s WAY too heavy simply because it has to do both, and isn’t really a good EV simply from space utilization (that front trunk is laughably tiny) all the way thru efficiency(another important metric EV customers look at). It needed to be built as either a ground-up ICE vehicle, or a ground-up EV, leveraging the advantages of either platform. Who is this car for??? Head scratcher for sure. I’ll eat my words if Dodge pulls a Tesla Model Y and starts selling a butt-load of Charger Daytonas, but I really think Hell would freeze over first..

Imagine a place like LA that already has rolling blackouts, our current system doesn't have the capability to support so many cars. Also trucks won't go electric because they wouldn't have enough range to drive from one charging station to the next. Anyone that lives in a remote area is still going to use gas. Anyone that tows anything is still going to use gas. There's plenty of people that won't want to switch over also.

[@spacedog504]

Me either, but someone is going to buy it. But they might take a loss like ford did with the f150 lightning. This EV is barely faster than a charger or challenger with the seats removed, is too slow to compete with the model 3, and the styling isn't that revolutionary that they can sell it on how it looks and refreshed interior in my opinion. So, I don't see a market for it unfortunately. Why spend that much money on an EV just for the sake of brand loyalty and gimmicks. And I own a previous gen Scat pack. I think the six pack will sell if they can keep them under 50 Grand. But these EV's might sell like hot cakes, who knows lol....

[@mystic7055]

Id definitely buy this, but i would buy the Hurricane powered one. Not that i hate electric, i just dont believe its feasible yet. Especially if you're not a homeowner. Hurricane has plenty of power for a normal person. 550hp is enough for me.

[@abovewongart]

I love the focus on the future and performance.

[@BobsBrotherSteven]

As Mighty Car Mods would say... "IN THE BIN!"

[@zafrizulfi]

This is total BS. We should not support those speakers. Future is Electeic, fine, be like one, be normal. Just an electric car.

[@jcat96]

In all honesty, i think the car looks good, and it does what it says on the box (which in 2024 isn't a given...) But $60k base is a tough sell. Hoping they actually sell, and that the Six doesnt suck.

[@bundy26]

Aside from the fake sound and the straps for the hood release and seats, I would definitely own this.

I like how my bone stock BMW m550i from 2018 with 450 horsepower ran 11.5. this is Dodge doing what they do best. Big horsepower numbers slow cars

[@jeffreydavidmarks]

ur stock 550i ran an 11.5 jfc

[@salninethousand2496]

2018 BMW M550i will run 11.5s in the 1/4 mile only down hill or tuned.

[@awepossum1059]

Yeah but big horsepower numbers and slow cars is 100% fine if the car has soul. i.e. a big v8 engine. this doesnt even have that

Bro it’s actually crazy that dodge thought this would be cool, this feels soulless im trippin that dodge did this

Stellantis man

[@Alejandra-cv7rj]

Sounds like my kids remote control cars😂

[@Tdfries]

Im not against EVs but honestly they should just adopt the 80s aesthetic like the Hyundai N Vision 74 and other Hyundai EVs… it really works with the character of electric motors. I would buy an N Vision 74 in a heartbeat and Im not into EVs.

[@crazylife4543]

60k for a base base model is crazyyyyyy, thats not including whatever delivery fees & markups, by then the base rt will be easily over70k maybe 80k with an optioned out rt, which probably oushes the scatpack close to if not over 6 figures. no one buyin this pos except tech bros & influencers💀 they completely killed their usual buyerbase

The automotive equivalent of stuffing a gym sock in your pants to fake the size.

Beamng drive sounding ass car 😂😂

[@davidmeloyaan2635]

I got two notifications, one from throttle house and one from you guys and both were posted at the same time and on the charger 😂

[@parkervarin]

This is like using a taxidermied horse head as a hood ornament. Don't pretend to be something you're not just to make people comfortable. It just puts this car in an uncanny valley that I really don't like.

[@JustRandomThings]

Well as someone from a country who doesn't get plenty of v8s. I think they have done a great job by adhering to the regulations and giving it a sound that sounds better than all that silent evs

[@QBDLettuce]

I don't even like EVs and I don't hate it. Surely some of those things can/will be worked out with mere software changes. All I know is, I'm at least giving Dodge credit for trying to make an EV that focuses more on fun than efficiency. With some tweaks, maybe they can nail it.

[@tirdkat6104]

Can you install a V8 and lose 1500 pounds with a software update?

[@goodvibesbeats2221]

They gave both the channels different press cars this time, glad to see Canadian content creators moving up 🫡

[@JuiceBoxScott]

One of the few things that doesn't bother me about this car is the lack of the V8. It's all the dumb shit that is fake. The old challenger was real and this one is full of fake BS.

[@youtubasoarus]

The only Straightpipes episode i've fallen asleep while it was revving. I woke up at the end of the video. What happened?! Needs a hemi.

[@PC-qy7vr]

Lol I was on the toilet At 2:29 when he said I'm going to plead with you guys sitting on the toilet

[@JStryker7]

I’ve seen the test mule driving around and my opinion is unchanged with this. I prefer the previous gen interior, exterior, and powertrains

[@coastaku1954]

You mean a 15 year old design that gulped gas?

[@JStryker7]

@ the proportions of this vehicular appliance suck in person. Also, yes, I’d gladly take the v8 over an EV

[@shogunero3.6]

@@coastaku1954 yup. I’d take it anyday.

[@Nestle245]

Agreed but the interior is far better than the previous generation.

@ the interior build quality is better, but I hate screens

[@terrificfrogg8377]

they should have given it a new name, start a new line up. Calling this a charger is so disrespectful and an insult to the legacy

[@ohioguy4326]

Yea just like Ford using the Mustang name on a Crossover, and Chevrolet using the Silverado name on what should have been called the AValanche

[@jaddenmp]

gonna be so many recalls & battery issues lmao (I work for dodge)

[@cheeng1]

Great first attempt. Definitely need hoonigan features simple & easy to access (standing & rolling burnout, reving, etc).

[@BZ1340]

This channel is pure horsepower.. Every video if it doesn’t do burnouts or launch at some surprising effect it doesn’t get the juices flowing in the two. Yet surprisingly the daily driving habits of probably 95% of us Cdn drivers is grid lock ,Some somewhat Gas economy unless total luxury wanted and comfort behind the wheel.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Correct. Fuel economy isn’t exciting. We still review everything but we’re not going to be excited if it’s not fun. Which is fine, because every car doesn’t need to be exciting

[@jmwdba]

😭😭😭 It's true, I watch about 70% of their videos on the porcelain throne!!! How did they know!!!!

[@austinwebbcreative]

If this had a V8 it would actually sell

[@Ank3rman]

Still costs more than a hellcat, I doubt it

[@austinwebbcreative]

@@Ank3rman that’s fair.. the MSRP is insane!

[@elchoronano]

It is a great car but i really want to see the I6 version instead of an all electric car

Thanks for another GREAT review!!

If someone pulled up next to me and started revving their electric charger I would immediately start laughing at them
