4 REASONS why you SHOULD BUY a SCATPACK instead of a HELLCAT!

[@srtkaye2010]

I sold my Hellcat about a month ago. I live in a major city and as you said I could never use all the power. Racing ppl from light to light is not worth the money to own one. Definitely a great car but I love money more 💯

It's like I was watching myself in the video.. I had a Scat Pack for 2 years, and upgraded to Hellcat. Your points are all dead on. The best thing about the car is you can tell your friends you have a Hellcat.. The only time I really can get on it is on the onramps, and for that few seconds it is a total rush,, but is that really worth the extra $20.-.30k? Then I thought about downgrading to a Scat Pack again, but just couldn't bring my to do it.. I mean, bro, it's a Hellcat! If I sold the Hellcat I could buy A brand new kick butt Scat plus a new winter car. It would be hard to let go of it, but it makes a lot of sense. Whenever someone asks me about buying a HC, I ALWAYS recommend getting a Scat instead. I really do miss it

That’s a really good point. When I drove the Tesla Model S, as soon as I pressed the gas it was time to take my foot off because I was already at 60. It makes it less fun. I rather a car that’s a little slower so I can enjoy it.

It has enough torque and ft-lbs to handle its business. Lowered the vehicle about a 1 1/2" so it sits pretty. Not always easy finding the rims I like, with lug pattern but, I usually always replace the rims, from stock. Everybody's Challenger looks the same, same rims. If I repaint the vehicle, gone definitely get the whole front scratch free as you did. I have enough rock-dings n stuff. This is my 1st muscle car, and toughest engine I've ever owned so, I can't compare it. But trust, I have plenty power.

Yeah I get it man. When you have the ScatPack you always think of progressing into the Hellcat. Hard to think of the drawbacks. Thank you man same to you and your family! Hope you stay warm in AZ!

Have the scat pack challenger and it's just to much fun to drive around, especially with a 6-speed. The burbles make it worth the get. Plus with dodge's recent updates w/ getting rid of combustion engines they'll be a great investment too!

[@GB2G]

3:00 there’s gonna be less grip if ur going up hill cuz the car wants to roll back but the tires want to spin

[@greatray6262]

Great video. At a certain point too much is overkill and pointless. I have a Durango 5.7 and for how it's used in a real world application that's plenty of power. How often does an average driver have a need to maximize a 0 to 60 time?

[@justingrall7566]

I test drove a new 2022 Scat Pack but it wasn’t a wide body but I’m just not sure if I should get a used Hellcat or a new wide body Scat Pack but I will probably stick with a new wide body Scat Pack

[@mattthumperfarms2467]

True story. I've driven both and came home with a Scatpack

[@brentnewman8603]

Just a FYI i own a hellrango, and my Vanderhall Venice smashes it from stoplight to stoplight. If you ever get a chance at another venice. Turn off the traction control and do a boosted launch at 20PSI. Your outlook will be different, 6-7 seconds to 60 maybe in reverse ;)

[@chuckdonal2759]

My man! This guy is awesome! Love the truth!!! Excellent video!

[@Mr392Scat]

Good ishh! I would love a Scat Pack still. Hellcat is the dream car but by time I'm ready financially to get one Dodge will have already stopped making them and there will be some hybrid or EV version car out lol. Test driving the Hellcats (707hp, 717hp, and Redeye 797hp) they are all amazing cars 🤩 but the traction issue gets old fast. Super fun but is also annoying at the same time. My tuned SRT8 300c 6.1L has 465hp to the crank and I still have traction issue especially in this cold season. Spinning robs the fun out of everything 😅.

[@SchwayZ]

Thank you my man! I completely agree. Spinning is fun at first but it gets old quick. There are times where I just want to slam on the gas pedal and accelerate quickly and oftentimes that's just not realistic 🤷‍♂️ Hellcat is definitely a dream car but not as rationale

A couple of years ago I was shopping for a new daily driver and looked at a 2016 Charger Hellcat, and have one thing to add. Could have been something wrong with the car that I drove, but the supercharger whine was much more then I expected when just cruising and not getting into it. I figured that this would annoy me in a daily driver, Was going to start looking for a ScatPack but went another route instead.

[@s.g.807xZO6]

Definitely have to agree with this video. The Scat is the way to go!

I have a Widebody charger scatpack & I kinda want a hellcat but I was thinking the same thing. I don’t see it being more fun to drive than my car. As long as it’s not raining my car puts the power to the ground & it’s fast!

[@bigheavy12]

Thank you so much, great video and I have a 2020 392 challenger. I do agree with you.

[@antwaan7439]

I think the 35K pricepoint for a Scat is a little off. Obviously options are a huge part of that but I had a brand new 2017 that cost 53K (some options) and I just got a '21 that came out to 63K (fully loaded). "Base Model" Scats are running mid 40's I believe. I only bring this up because I completely understand your point of not wanting to damage the vehicle due to price.

[@jbij06]

Subbed because of your talking points and honesty. I own neither but will be purchasing one of the two hopefully next year if not sooner. Leaning towards the Hellcat just because I've always wanted one and don't plan on using it has a daily driver.

A hellcat is my dream car and I will one day have it. I don’t fear it’s power but I simply cannot afford it yet, so for now I’m getting a 2022 widebody scatpack

Man, appreciate your sheer honesty...that takes guts to own up to your decision and openly share your objective observations. I appreciate that very much! Must say, it is a super sweet car and do hope you continue enjoying it when you can.

[@SchwayZ]

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching! I still enjoy the hellcat very much!

[@SNOWMAN1997]

I plan on buying the jailbreak I already did the build on the website. Of course the 807 HP is what attracts us but for me I like the fact you just not gonna see too many on the road they too expensive. I was thinking of getting the Scat but I see them everywhere all the time the Hell cat you just dont see them often, as far as using all the power where I live there is speed cameras all over the city so it dont matter what you drive, buy a rader detector hit the interstate and then open it up.

[@dmrobello9441]

All of this is true. On a side note, when you go to get new tires, jet the Michellins. They are better than the Pirellis for day to day use. They hook up better on the street, are quieter and get better mileage if you can control your foot.

[@badlilstang]

The Scat breaks loose just fine at 30/40 on a regular tire.. surprised you didn't have that issue... i can hold 2nd gear at 4 and slam it and get sideways.. just as annoying but I can understand being NA its likely easier to control.

[@ianjmccullough3614]

My widebody Challenger Scatpack has 315/30/20s and they are expensive. I try not to go through tires but it's hard when I have a 6t speed manual lol!

[@abandoandahellcat]

Well in washington state I barely see scats honestly the hardest to find would be a scat charger followed by a charger hellcat. I've seen challenger hellcats here and there. I own a hellcat as well and literally bought mine the same time as you. I prefer my hellcat. Would love to have a red eye though lol

[@peacefulthrillseeker]

Install a kill switch and keep it in a garage. Your points are solid I have a charger scat and Im considering getting a Redeye charger so great video

[@gladiation6615]

I traded in my 2020 widebody challenger scat pack...loved the car..pirelli tires grip amazing until 15 k miles then all hell breaks lose the first time the car gets lose on you and scared the hell outta me because it was unpredictable unlike my 2016 camaro ss which i could break loose with zero concerns. Im looking at a charger widebody scat now because i do miss that 6.4 low end grunt/torque and sound . You helped with my decision man because i was on the line over hellcat this time or not. Charger should be a little tamer when it breaks loose and i enjoy the cockpit

[@tillman002000]

It's not going to be tamer man. Signed Daytona 392 owner.

[@camirocz]

Why would you floor a car in the rain or when the ground is cold even on a roll? Just modulate the pedal . You only lose traction if you hammer it.

[@JustyouraverageAmerican]

I’ve had both and tend to agree. I just can never settle. I like excess looking toward the ct5 v blackwing!

[@Jeff-ej4wp]

Yep, can't really use 707HP on the streets. The R/T with a 5.7L has plenty of power and is great for freeway cruising. The Hellraisin looks great.

Finally came to my senses and got rid of a redeye for a 16 rs7 performance. Great top end pull with the redeye since I had drag radials but off the line it’s useless.

@@kevanbane so I’m still waiting to get the car delivered since I bought it from a different state. Getting the car registered is taking longer than usual. As soon as I get it I will let you know.

I had a 2015 Challenger Scat Pack manual transmission 6.4 and now I am driving a 2020 Mustang GT with Roush Supercharer Stage 2. I telling you than the Scat Pack has more low end torque than my Mystang supercharger. That 6.4 move that heavy car like nothing. Is really amazing engine. Is not replacement for displacement.

[@jaymcintosh7924]

Do you favor wide body over the regular body. I thought I would like the wide body better, but nope. The dealership I went to had all the trims. I was able to see with my own eyes the difference in size, and all. I spent some time viewing/ comparing. I settle for the regular body. The wide body nice, but it's basically the puffed out tire-wheel base that made it look beefier. I chose regular body as my opinion, it just say better, and when the whole Ride is evenly lowered, looks killer. So, she looks beefy & pretty. The wide body, mostly beefy/ chunky. Hellcats sound sweet just going down the highway. I know I can beef up my ScatPack to sound similar but, I am fine with the stock sound. When I want a little more, I switch over to track-mode. She sounds so good when she crackles. Question: do you know how to make it crackle like that when you decide? It kinda just happens at times with me, the crackle. But would be nice if I can do it when I choose. Thanks for video bro man. And that wide-body Hellcat is a good lookin piece of meat. 💪🏻💯. ScatPack Life

[@Donnyxcondor]

If you're looking for more crackles and pops, might I suggest a mid muffler delete, I also added the Dynomax Race bullets (available on Amazon for $20 a piece) and it really helped getting those especially on downshifts, yet not incredibly loud and obnoxious.

[@jakoidtonge]

Sport mode pops and crackles more in the lower Rpm band,Track mode is louder up top.

[@sunshine48213]

@@jakoidtonge i was going to say the same thing.. mid muffler delete and drive in track mode u are guaranteed pops and crackles

[@BlakWiseCracker]

You chose the regular body style due to your taste in cars which is kool, however the one you chose been out for over the las10+ years and it look like the new police body style cars. The Widebody is much beefier and cost more money and a lot young boys cannot afford it, to each it’s own. In the future hopefully you can save up to get one and I can guarantee you the attention you get from the WH Charger is endless and exciting. Cheers mate🍺🍺

[@LocalHauntsShow]

Great points. I had a 2016 Scat Pack Shaker with a 6 speed manual. My best traction limited 0-60 was 4.2 seconds. This is in Florida with low elevation and good road surfaces and no snow. Ever. Then I test drove and bought a 2019 Challenger 1320. The biggest difference other than the hard shifting auto tranny is the traction I get with the 1320 exclusive 275 Drag Radials. Huge difference. My best 0-60 is 3.6 seconds bone stock. Again, this is Florida so it is a more friendly environment for the drag radials. I too am paranoid of door dings and scratches. And from what I have researched, the 1320 could tie or beat any Hellcat to 60mph. I have always fantasized about getting a Hellcat, but your point shave struck home. Other than the bragging rights of owning a Hellcat, I wonder if it would really be any faster than my 1320 which MSRP was 49k instead of 80k. The tires have 7500 miles on them and still have plenty of tread and traction. My Scat Pack before would go through the lousy 245's in 15k miles with the same driving habits. So to sum it up, I think I made a good decision with the 1320. But the temptation of the Hellcat is always there. Thanks for the great video. I posted videos about the 1320 on my channel if anyone is interested. Not to mention the 1320 is much more rare and exclusive than a Hellcat. Only 1054 were produced in 2019 and even less in 2020 due to the covid shutdown. So There is that going too.
