2023 Dodge Challenger R/T - A Muscle Car for Everyone!

[@PaulRankinYT]

What an amazing experience to be able to drive the new Dodge Challenger, it was supposed to be the Dodge Charger but hopefully next time in the Hellcat variant. What car would you like to see covered?

[@Hunter_Nebid]

Jaguar F-Type!

[@Hunter_Nebid]

...and test it out on the great roads of the Smoky Mountains where I live. 😎😁

[@dychejs]

I have a 2018 Challenger R/T. This is my first Dodge and I don’t understand why there are anti-dodge people out there because the car has been fantastic. It’s not the fastest car in the world but it’ll beat probably 95% of other automobiles in 0 to 60 time. However, car enthusiast look down on the R/T because it only has 375 hp, which is low by today’s standards of a muscle car. The only other car I would consider right now would be a scat pack! You should review one of those! Don’t do Hellcat, do naturally aspirated challengers, because a regular worker can potentially afford it.

Yeah man the trim is great! I've got an RT as well. Love the way it feels, sounds, looks & everything. Power is just enough to break traction when you want. That active exhaust is perfect, not too loud, but loud enough. Scattys got a throatier exhaust note, but I actually like that deeper growl of the 5.7 better. Purrs like a kitten, roars like a lion. Really throws you back to the 70's. Everybody turns heads. 375hp is enough for me right now lol. Don't feel like I need much more performance then what the RT offers right now. I'd get into trouble in the scatty for sure. 😂

Get what u like and u can afford forget what people think they not paying for it

[@robertosan66677]

I also got my RT 2022 ,,,,don’t drive it in winter ..,actually taking it out March 15th …375hp is enough and good street car …sounds amazing just stock exhaust and yes people turn cause they hear you coming before they see you …would not advise to get scat pack at 475 hp or higher as too much speed and yeah I’m not racing …just a great daily driver and your car does stand out compare too most cars

@@frostedpearl1386 The 440-4br. Magnum was rated at 375 hp in the late 1960s and 1970. That was a lot of power even then.

​​@@robertosan66677 💯 It's a great daily! Does everything I bought it for! Lol 2022 also 6 speed manual is too much fun lol 😎

[@Big_Ern1215]

I put a deposit down on one the other day. It’s on it’s way to the dealership so hopefully I will get it soon. I wanted a manual which was hard to find. Can’t wait to drive it.

[@markmorehouse4751]

Absolutely love my 2nd hellraisn challenger. I have the T/A version and as usual get many compliments on the car. I’m 76 and owned many cars, this without a doubt is my favorite

[@lotus956]

Granite is by far the most underrated cleanest looking color. If you see one fully detailed with the right black wheels and tires and right stance they are the best imo.

[@elvic-xg6hh]

I bought one of the 23 leftovers in light green... Man .. i love this RT a lot!!!! And yes it catches the attention in the streets 👍🏻

[@PaulRankinYT]

bet thats mega mate, i've seen them in green suits it really well

[@fabiolas4]

Nice ride man! That's all I'd need to be honest.

[@jonc8302]

Nice video , nice review … I just purchased this exact vehicle except in black .. have had it one week … love the vehicle !! No regrets

[@PaulRankinYT]

Nice, I’m jealous mate, I’d have one in a heartbeat

[@TuggSpeedmann]

Picking mine up tomorrow. Kind of regretting not getting the Scat Pack already but I’m used to driving trucks so this is a first car for me. Nice to see so many good reviews cause I bought it kind of spur of the moment.

[@chrisdavis6853]

Bought a GT instead, lots of snow where I live. Only thing I miss is the rumble from the v8

[@PaulRankinYT]

What engine is in the GT? Bet it’s fun to drive in the snow

[@frostedpearl1386]

3.6L pentastar.

[@chrisdavis6853]

@@frostedpearl1386 I also have a Kia Sorento SUV, the Challenger handles the snow better than the Kia because it's the same weight but wider and a little lower. So fun to drive in 6 inches of fresh snow! Plus, most people don't know it's AWD and they think your crazy 🤣

[@bearfan311]

I have a 2020 R/T Blacktop. I love this car!

[@PaulRankinYT]

Is the difference in the blacktop wheels and stuff

How much did you pay monthly? Am trying to get one

Winter where there is snow lol

[@Brandon-yl7wi]

Great Review Mate 🔥

[@PaulRankinYT]

Thanks mate

[@rgl9649]

The shaker package is the best of the RT

[@TuggSpeedmann]

That’s what I wound up going with. You think it’s good for a first car? I’m used to driving trucks.

[@Marcelinabellavita]

Why’s that? Curious as I myself am looking into getting one in the future :)

[@McGrumpyMan]

I've got a Challenger booked for my holiday in August. Would love it if they had an ST available. I am a bit intimidated by the size of them but guess that's just a case of getting used to it.

[@PaulRankinYT]

Absolutely don’t let it intimidate you, such a nice car to drive, just take a day or so to get used to it Have fun and enjoy it 👍🏽

[@tjbjjtkd]

I own a 2021 RT that I had built.

[@PaulRankinYT]

You done any mods?

[@frankfortin549]

I've got 2, a Last Call 2023 Pitch Black on Black RT Scat Pack 392 with a couple miles on it and an awesome 2019 Wide body RT Scat Pack with just over 10K miles Pitch Black on orange trim interior. Love my 2019 because I drive it at least 2 times a week to work. What a ride and a performance car for sure. I have 4 classic cars... 1969 Chevelle 396 SS. So I love new and old school.

[@PaulRankinYT]

Wow Frank, think you’ve just became my new favourite person ever! Sounds like a mega collection, what colour is your SS?

I believe it’s coming from the exhaust as it gets ready to fire up
