Is the 2021 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack manual a BETTER muscle car than a Mustang GT?

[@mattmekhaeil]

You can’t go wrong with a challenger or 6 speed manual transmission. Especially what’s under the hood a NA v8 these cars will still be icons for years they will never be forgotten. The retro styling of the challenger has aged so well it will never look old or boring

[@RaitisRides]

No replacement for displacement!

yeah it's one of the few modern cars that actually did the retro look right, I'm not even into muscle cars and I can appreciate that

Damn shut up

[@thullraven1]

"Is the 2021 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack manual a BETTER muscle car than a Mustang GT?" The short answer is "yes" because it is the only one that still has the old muscle car look. As far as an overall sports car vs a Mustang, it comes down to preferences. Let me explain. I have a 2018 Manual Mustang GT. I've raced three Scat Packs (Two Challengers, One Charger) and beat them all pretty good. They ALL had me off the line, then I caught and passed them. The Low End Torque the Scat Pack has is unreal. I catch them seconds later because the Mustang has a steady increase in the higher gears and revs, where the Scats seemed to level off, plus the additional weight they were carrying didn't help. They have 485 hp stock, which is a ridiculous amount of power, however my Mustang seemed to maintain traction better. The best old school muscle car looks = Challengers win easily. There is nothing out there that looks like them. They're beautiful to me. That's not saying Mustangs and Camaros are ugly. They aren't. They don't look old school, either. The Mustang had some of that look with the Fifth Generation, but that changed in 2015. You want room for people and gear, don't care about handling, and want gobbs of low end torque, get the Challenger. You want to drive something American, sporty, fast, and that handles good, but you can't afford a Corvette, get the Mustang or Camaro. There really isn't a wrong answer here. Also, EVERYTHING is better as a Manual. That's all I have ever owned. Save the Manuals!

The way I always read it online and personally saw it as is that the Challenger is a great long distance GT car, the Camaro is a great track car, and the Mustang is a blend of both between those two. That theme seems to continue from the Scat Pack, GT, and SS all the way up to the Hellcat Redeye, GT500, and ZL1

I’ve had 3 Mustang GT’s including my current car, a 21’ GT PP1 in Oxford White with Showstopper interior, which I love and an 07’ C6 Z06 in Lemans Blue and I’ve loved them all. But there’s sometimes about this Challenger in a manual that I really, really dig. When we have the discussion of which car is faster to 60 or in the 1/4, Camaro, the Stang or either of the Dodges, we are splitting hairs snd how often will you actually line it up? To me, cars are about emotion and how they make me feel when I drive them. This Challenger sounds great and it has the Tremec, which my GT, sadly does not… The C6 Z06 had a shit ton of low end torque. This Challenger does too. And for street driving, that torque provides all the emotion one could ask for. This manual Challanger with that 6.4 is talking to me!

I think the way my Stang is optioned, with PP1 etc., it would hold it's own against this car. It's got wider meats in the back, a little less HP and TQ, but definitely lighter than this Challenger. Depending on the driver, the Stang would likely beat it, not destroy it, but beat it in a drag. The torque curve in these S550's is amazing, so linear and rev to the moon! Not knocking the Mopars, they are great cars, love the true retro look to them, but being under tired in the rear and heavy AF, I'll take the Mustang GT! I love that the manual is still barely alive! SO much more fun than the boring automatic! BTW, this is coming from an old ass die hard Chevy guy!! LOL! Cheers!

That is really awesome Dale! They are so hard to find.

[@dpledford1]

@@RaitisRides it sold! They have a go mango RT manual! I have been looking hard! I have to go to another city for it!

[@dominickirkwood]

I love it my boy Joe keep up the work and I love the video lot real true 💯 👍 💯💯💯💯

[@RaitisRides]

You are the man!

[@gmanhere.173]

Just get it with the dynamics package. 275s, bigger brakes, etc...You even get the flat bottom steering wheel.

[@RaitisRides]

This is very true!

[@garybishop4030]

This one has that

[@CSLFiero]

Can't believe dodge actually made a car that a) was good enough to goe produced for 15 years and B) still look good after all that time

[@RaitisRides]

Tell me about it! The Challenger and Chargers have been sales successes!

[@2Bunphettered788]

Keep the yellow guards Joe. 👌💛

[@weirdshibainu]

I wish they'd offer a Jailbreak version of this model with leather interior and the Jailbreak wheels option. It would be the perfect muscle car. I don't need 707 hp.

[@RaitisRides]

That would be such a great idea!

[@michaeldennis3028]

That sound!! Oh my! Wish it had a quad exhaust though

[@RaitisRides]

Same here!

[@69bjgmopar]

Got a 22 triple nickle scat with the 275 tires ordered.love the video.

[@RaitisRides]

That is so fantastic Bobby! Congrats man!

[@JohnDoe-iw2ft]

Hopefully my 2021 WD scatpack arrives to Jerry Ulm soon. Can’t wait!!!!

[@RaitisRides]

Fingers crossed man!

[@DannyTheCarGuy]

Those throttle giggles get me all the time 😂

[@williamreynolds3487]

I've been binge watching these Challenger videos and I noticed that, over time, Joe's become more accepting of people who decide to keep the shipping guards on their cars lol

[@DWH300]

I feel the Challenger is more of a muscle car for its straight line performance. On the other hand. The Mustang has become a sports car for it straight line performance and track prowess. If you watch IMSA GT4 racing or Trans Am sports car racing. You find Mustangs because of it's improved chassis to go with it straight line performance.

[@RaitisRides]

I just can’t call a Mustang a sports car.

[@yes8032]

I totally find this car badass the most iconic muscle

[@RaitisRides]

Soooooo very true!

[@controlhogger8]

Mans definitely ran a red light at 21:00 lmaoo

[@RaitisRides]

I didn't do it on purpose.

[@Irishmanbikes]

Merry Christmas Joe and Lori!! Do you think you will be able to review the 2022 Lexus ES 300h with heads up display in the new year?

[@RaitisRides]

I will do my best to make it happen Dan! Merry Christmas bud!

[@jordanstrickland9585]

I love my scat pack wide body!!! It’s in go mango looks awesome

[@stevehuk902]

We work for a bunch of different brands but the funniest name is a gm paint that we do here is called pull me over red. Been here for years and I still get a laugh when that program comes up.

[@stevehuk902]

That said my favorite color on these is f8 green by far.

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for sharing that Steve!

[@RaitisRides]

That is a great color.

[@jasondavid9981]

I always like the Challenger, but I’m a Ford guy, so I’d go with a Mach 1, if I were looking for a comprisable car with the aforementioned Challenger. If I got what I really wanted, it would be a Ford Shelby GT500 Hennessy Venom 1000.

[@TV-cx2zw]

Dodge over Ford any day

[@RaitisRides]

You have great taste Jason!

[@jasondavid9981]

@@RaitisRides thank you!

[@freedomstar3814]

The Challenger and Charger sound the best out of all the big 3 v'8s. The stock 6.4 produces such a great natural old school sound from the factory!

[@RaitisRides]

I think you may be right! No replacement for displacement!
