[@Chestnut1998]

5.7 s just don’t have high top end but lots of torque. 135mph with a governor is just pitiful for a 370 hp car. My avenger maxes at 120 MPH and other cars like the Toyota camary will do 120/130 ish. That’s why the R/at is frowned upon. The scatpack/ Hellcat aren’t electronically governed.

[@RCWeldingsgarage]

@@Chestnut1998 for guys like me who don't go to the track or race I don't need more than 375hp. If I ever decide to upgrade id go straight to the hellcat. But realistically I do like my rt very much.

[@AlessandroVolta1]

I look at it like this. The RT is great if you would normally be buying aa Accord, Camry, Or any of the base Euro sedans, the RT is an awesome choice and has a way bigger trunk , bigger seats and is way more fun and feels more powerful. Also since the RT is only lowered a 1/2 inch more than a SXT, you can still drive it if you live somewhere with potholes and snow covered roads like northern Pennsylvania. The other thing is regular gas which saves me some $s. If I lived in a state with good roads and cheap gas I’d be driving a Scat.

[@brandonrainbolt7382]

I like my RT. I don't really drive over 90 at anytime. But I do like to get there pretty quick. I do want some more power. Once the warranty is up I'm going to Whipple charge it. So I'll be close to 500 hp and have lower insurance. It's a give and take for each situation like you said.

I total agree with you, I used to have a 2018 Scat Pack Charger and I loved that car but of course was just itching for more power so went with the Hellcat Charger. After having the Hellcat for about a year its true the scat pack is the most bang for the buck. When driving around I want to always just mash the gas in the hellcat but here in California (Pre-quarantine) is always traffic and just nowhere for me to use the power unless I track it but as a daily just eats up gas like crazy Avg is about 11 to 12 mpg. Scat pack is the perfect balance of price and power!

[@nkjellman]

I agree with that. Though to add, if you're looking for the modding experience, the 5.7 is the way to go. That thing is bottle necked from the factory, and every mod is going to gain more power compared to a stock 5.7. If you wanna put a blower on the car, but don't wanna pay for a Hellcat, the 5.7 is definitely safer to do that with.

If you like doing mods definitely go 5.7. With just four mods you can have it putting out the same hp as a scat pack and have fun doing it.

[@CaptainKronk]

the 5.7 is in my opinion the ultimate engine to build on. you get your self a comp cam some some heads and injectors, drop in forged rods and pistons maybe a crank that increases stroke and throw on a whippel twin screw and you can build a hellcat level car for a fraction of the hellcat price. i am actually working on a build with a retired police charger. it has the 5.7 HEMI and an AWD set up which is great to offset the massive weight of the charger it is a 2020 but it has the old Mercedes built NAG1 Transmission. that sounds like a downside but a built one will run you 6 grand and i can drop it in with out any modification that transmission will handle upwards of 1200 crank HP. when i get done with the build i plan to make 800 hp to the wheels and with the AWD system it should be a fun little pice of car.

I love how unlike a lot of other reviews out there that I've seen, you actually factor in the cost of ownership. I'm looking at a challenger for a daily driver and commuter, so in my case I'd be a lot more inclined towards the Scatpack due to things like insurance, fuel costs, maintenance costs and good ol' depreciation. For my situation, things like that are a little more important than the whole "this one has this kind of track suspension setup and that's why you should spend $25,000 more on it" lol

Same takeaway for me. Went from 5.7 Grand Cherokee to 392 Durango to hellcat Durango. I figured I'd I stayed out of boost mileage would be comparable to SRT. I thought wrong. SRT was a far better daily. Just picked up a beater to offset the frustration while I chunk this thing down. Gonna stick to drive a focus when I know I have a HC waiting at home. But that fuel is a car payment every month.

[@mattlaw8020]

I’ve got a 2014 Charger Sxt with the AWD package. It’s been excellent for daily driving to work for the past few years, but the 292 HP isn’t really meant for racing. Especially with a heavy ass sedan. I’ve been saving and hope to pick up a scat pack within a few months 🙏🏻

[@scram8188]

I've got a 2017 Z06 and I drove it on my first road trip in economy mode to compare economy to touring mode mileage. Going on the 230 mile trip in economy I got 26.0 mpg and I didn't Baby it. Coming back I used touring mode and definitely did not Baby it and got 25.5 mpg. I was pleasantly surprised since the rated mpg is 13/23. Picked it up in July of 2019 for 67k and it only had 1595 miles on it. Love the car, it is a beast with 650 hp/tq.

[@Bizzair1990]

So glad I bought my scatpack and paid it off in 2 years and enjoy it all the time in the summer. I almost went for a hellcat but honestly.. unless you're at the track the hp is useless. My scat has to be one of the most enjoyable cars ever. I go to the track run a 12.2 on 20s and then drive home. Anyone on the street cant beleive how fast it is. Its funny were in an era where a 12.2 car is being pushed aside for high 10s haha. I love em all but the scat is ana amazing car.

[@FirebirdCamaro1220]

In city driving, I'm able to get over 200 miles out of one tank on my 18 Camaro SS 6 Speed, only fill up once every 2 weeks (have a fairly short commute thank god), according to the dash, I average 20 mpg in daily driving

[@samuelgrabel1664]

It's funny I have 1966 mustang coupe with a 289 2bbl and every charger and challenger at a stop light wants to go. That old 289 only puts out 190 to 200 hp I just think it's funny! Anyways I'm a ford guy but was curious about all mopar trim levels thanks for the info!

[@bigdaddy2401]

I did almost the same thing, but started with a Scat Pack and then jumped to a Red Eye. I used my 2017 Scat Pack as a daily driver for 3 years before going to a Hemi Shootout, thanks Mopar... once I saw a few Hellcats and Demons, it was either I’m trying to do a supercharger upgrade or I’m looking at the new offerings from Mopar. I opted for the safest way to the horsepower I needed. You talked a little about the cost of ownership. For me personally I loved the Scat Pack, because if I would drive my mother in law, I could get 21 mpg out of that big HEMI. If I drove it like I liked to drive it, I would average about 12mpg. For the Redeye, probably the best that I have seen is 12mpg and I average around 9mpg with my normal driving. It is a thirsty machine, but you have to love the noises that it makes. All in all, I am using the Red Eye as a daily driver and love it. The Smiles per Gallon for that car are very high, even for the overall cost.

Is that faster than the Z06 I know that's the vette. I got a new SS CAMARO but I wished I would have gotten the ZR1 CAMARO BUT ITS SUCH A BIG PRICE DIFFERENCE. I.LIKE MY SS .I mean, I will keep up with a regular c7 vette but if I trade for a vette, what's the fastest for around my price range because my mom and dads vette. I ch 9uld beat them in my Camaro but on leaning toward a vette now. I got it because you have s back seat but my wife and I have had people in the back seat and to be honest with you,might as well get a two seater because you got to move the seat up it makes it hard to drive.

[@Kam.ina.Camaro]

Greg Phillips if you’re getting a corvette the c8 is the way to go if you can find one around 70k. If you want a c7 the stingray and z51 2019 is around 50-60k the zo6 is 80-90k and the zr1 is 100k+ the stingray and z51 will give you around the same performance as your camaro the zo6 will give you camaro zl1 performance and the zr1 will compete with redeyes gt500s and demons. But so will the C8 corvette and you can get one around 70k right now so to me thats the way to go but its your choice

[@gregphillips5644]

My dad promised my mom a Corvette when he retired from GM, which he did. She wanted AN ALABABAMA, ROLL TIDE RED New one.. That was 2009, brand new off the lot. Is that a C6 9R A C7. I have tried to get him to race me and he want do it. There is so many things I want to do to my Camaro but i cant because it's still under warranty. It looks just like Bumblebee from Transformersm when i get it paid off, it's on. A supercharger is about 4,000 ain't it.

I have a 2018 T/A 392 6m - it’s a great choice. You have most of the Hellcat underpinnings and, while not as fast, it’s one of the most unique-looking Challenger models out there.

Any Scat pack is great as a daily driver. If you have highway miles you can get over 20+ mpg. I average 19 with (very) spirited driving. Also, get the oil catch can, can't believe how much oil it caught when i was racing. I have a 2019 scat, worth every penny. Also change stock rims or tires for more tire. 245's are not enough tire for 500hp. As soon as mine are gone I'm getting 275/40 r20 's

[@panama2500]

Good information bro! I'm thinking either build my rt to a sleeper or just get a scat pack...It is my daily driver...

[@johnwilliams2378]

Scat pack bro widebody had an rt their fast but it seems to run out of breath once you hit 100. Raced an lexus es350 And honestly I wasn't too much in front of him. Build if you want a project get a scat build on what already is a badass car.

[@enzocree515]

I just purchased my first mopar product in a 2018 Charger scatpack RT 392 with the 6.4 engine in destroyer grey and optioned out. it’s probably the best purchase I’ve ever made. No regrets. I will say the 6.4 great starter, it prepares you for the 6.2 in the Hellcat lol

[@butsmash]

392 Charger Widebody is the dream v8. The do it all muscle tank of my dreams haha.

[@cbhale9255]

I bought a 2019 B5 Blue Scat Pack Challenger, narrow body, because I wanted a retro car that was as close to the original 1970s Challenger as possible. It makes me smile every time I look at it, sit in it or drive it. And just to prove its versatility I fit a full sized mountain bike in the trunk. I considered buying a Porsche but the Porsche exhaust note sounded anemic compared to the raw, guttural symphony of the Challenger’s twin pipes.

I have been debating between a used hellcat and a fully loaded RT Scat Pack widebody, and I have to agree... the RT Scat Pack widebody is by far the best bang for your buck... you can get one... fully loaded for $58k. The RT Scat Pack widebody has all the looks and basically all the upgrades of the old SRT line and then some. Another solid video! When you giving away those tire valve caps?!? Lol

[@P1MPINSINSE1997]

Paul Hayes used hellcat all day. Relatively low mileage and way better bang for your buck. Or buy a used 18 19 A10GT which is faster than a scat pack for cheaper🤷🏻‍♂️ a lot of options

[@majhaze]

P1MPINSINCE1997 I agree the Hellcat has everything you want and more! But I might be looking at a baby number 2 here some time. Sooo I might have to settle for the RT Scat Pack in the mean time :)

[@SteelTimeify]

Or go for a 14-17 SRT Jeep. Fun for the whole family. You can get one for 38-50k with low mileage. I love mines and smoke chargers/challenger's on the dig all day.

[@jose6566]

@6:29 I completely understand what you're saying. I'm going through it right now. I have a challenger gt, it's nice and quick, but it's quiet and I have been wanting to go and get a widebody scat but I'm waiting because the 2024 market is terrible

[@briand9027]

You can get a different muffler if you want a louder car because I was in the same boat except it was a charger. I had a charger GT for literally less than a year then decided that it wasn't powerful enough. Went out and traded in my charger GT for a charger scatpack. At the end of the day, when you upgrade to the next tier after a few months or years. You'll want more power and more performance.

[@ifawkurmum5125]

For myself personally, I bought a 3.6L SXT plus challenger 2016 because I couldn’t afford the scat pack at the time and I didn’t want to settle for a 5.7L R/T. I talked my friend out of getting an R/T because not only is it a waste of money but dealerships will scam the hell out of you and tell you there isn’t another car like this one for the $35K price range when in reality you could find a scat pack model 4 years behind the current year for around the same price. The R/T didn’t knock my socks off, especially once I learned that the SXT wasn’t much slower than the R/T unfortunately. Having that in mind, I couldn’t put myself into a hemi knowing a V6 model was close behind me.

I've owned two challengers, both scatties. A 2016 6.4l scatty, standard body with a manual transmission. I throw on a full Hurst Pistol grip short shifter and a full cat back Corsa Extreme exhaust, it was a blast..... Today I have a new scatty. My one regret is, i've should of been patient and waited for the 1320 Angry Bee. The only dealership (which I have no problem calling them out for there shitty service, Prestige Dodge in Centennial Hills, Las Vegas AND there sister dealership in Henderson NV called Towbin Dodge. I should of went to Chapman Dodge in Henderson NV, were I bought my 2017 Rubicon jeep, but they had zero wide bodies. But that was my experience, you all may of had better experience there) that had a Wide Body in that dark deep burgundy was at Prestige, but it has the automatic transmission which Im not a fan of when it comes to muscle cars, paddle shifters are not as fun in my opinion.. But I did put on another Corsa Extreme and since my cars are registered to my small ranch in Pahrump which is Nye County, I paired it with Corsa headers with a Diablo tune, and I dont have to worry about emission laws like in Henderson where my main house is because it sits in Clark County, so does Vegas and Clark county adopted Cali emission laws.....
