The 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Is Perfect With A 6 Speed Manual Transmission

[@charlesjacobsen9895]

This car is very underrated by a lot of People because it has less HP, but it’s a much better choice as a daily driver or for someone who can’t afford a Scatpack or Hellcat. One feature not touched on in this video, is that the six speed manual cars come with much lower rear gearing I believe a 3.73 as opposed to a 3.07 in the automatics. This alone makes a significant difference in acceleration for street or strip, and of course the manual is much more fun!

[@mrfuriouser]

Great point. The difference in driving/acceleration is huge!

[@jjsrt8]

Also the manual gives you a limited slip where the auto is a open diff

[@bailey9r]

Autos are 309s and six speed is 3.90. Very old school muscle car! ;

I love my 2013 R/T w/6 speed. Mine is the base model, no options. I have an AM/FM/CD, air conditioning and cruise. I didn't buy it for a bunch of creature comforts or gizmo's. It's my "toy", I bought it to drive and have fun. Make no mistake, the R/T can get you into as much trouble as you want to get in, and more. I've had mine for 7+ years and I'm very happy with it.

[@BurnseysRT]

The 19 Challenger with the 6 speed is amazing. I just got a 19 with the shaker package and performance handling group. I love it.

[@adambroderick8325]

That wide body package is bad ass....you can add it on...I'm thinking about it....also...explore the launch mode...I did a 5 second 0-60 without launch mode. I'm going to try launch at 3700 starting in second gear...I'm not going to beat my brothers z06...but I think I can get a 4,3

[@JimS870]

Nice! Did you get the 5.7 or the 6.4?

[@jjohnsoniaff1]

@@JimS870 The Shaker is only on the Scat Pack 6.4. (2900.00 option?) In some of the forums owners are complaining about the seal on the shaker leaking rainwater onto the engine....not sure if Dodge has resolved that.

[@Basslightning666]

I love my RT Plus Shaker in a 6 speed, it has the 8.4 inch touch screen, blind spot assist, etc... Exhaust note is intoxicating, especially with mid muffler delete.... Menacing street performer!

[@michaelsilverman6379]

I had a 2018 392 shaker automatic. The zf 8 speed in that car is absolutely amazing. It’s legendary for a reason. They put that zf in so many high performance cars like bmws, hellcat, etc. the only thing I didn’t like about the auto was how it knocks itself down to 4 cylinders when ur crawling slow through a city or town Main Street when everyone is looking and waving and the car sounds like a civic. U could keep it in sport to prevent that from happening tho. I traded in the scat for a awd bmw m235 bc I broke up with my ex and she worked from home and let me use her new wrangler anytime the roads were bad (I live in NY) and she worked from home in our apt so it was at my disposal but the bimmer which was such a fun little car, felt weak as hell bc I was spoiled from daily driving a 392 and I missed that muscle so much that 4 years later (last week) I traded in the bmw for a 2015 blacked out scat pack challenger with a 6 speed manual, Barton short throw shifter, lowered on coil overs, nitto 555r 305 extreme drag tires in the back 275 up front. Triple 6 hellcat rims, hellcat hood, and 6 piston brembos. Some old man was the first and only owner and he tricked it out with the intentions of dragging it at the track but never did bc of health issues so all he did was drive it to car shows. It only had 7,000 miles on it and it’s a 2015!. This old man had very good taste and he did everything to this car I always wanted to do on my old scat. He traded it in at the dodge dealership I’m a sales consultant at and the service record was flawless. He grabbed a pre owned hellcat we had with 12k miles on it for 73k. This was a once in a lifetime find and when I saw it on our lot I had to have it. I’ll never get rid of this car I’m already looking for a 5,000 dollar beater to use 90% of the time to preserve this gorgeous car. I love mopar so much, our trucks jeeps, suvs, and sports cars are the absolute best and in my opinion way more fun and beautiful than any other cars on the road period.

[@Blkity77]

I was complaining about the position of the Ebrake when I first got mine. After some research, turns out that the 15+ challenger is based on the 71 challenger.. the ebrake on that bad boy was a foot pedal. Hence why we have the foot pedal ebrake. Makes bumper to bumper traffic while on a hill fun!!

[@BurnseysRT]

Miami Avi the newer models not sure when it started has hill assist which is nice. If you have the brake and clutch depressed it won’t allow the car to roll back until the clutch starts engaging or like 5+ seconds.

[@Blkity77]

Burnseys RT mine definitely rolls back wen both are depressed lol 2018 RT plus

[@BurnseysRT]

Miami Avi did you check your settings? I have the option to turn it on or off. I’d be surprised if an 18 doesn’t have it.

[@brad8665]

Learn how to drive bro

[@adambroderick8325]

I have the 392 scat pack...this car is bad ass. Manual 6 speed is so much fun to drive... I'm averaging around 13 mpg... but I drive like an asshole...lol...I could be getting 8-9 if I applied myself...I could also get 15-17 if I didn't have so much fun.

[@snoppiezanch7489]

@ vas kota yes you can Fully turn off the traction control in the car just before you turn it on put your foot down on the clutch then press the traction control button while turning on the car all at the same time it will then tell you traction control is fully off

[@davidlowe3793]

I just got my 2022 rt challenger it is also a manual and I love it . Gonna order some long tubes header and the Diablo tuner and ecu . I can’t wait

[@RoastFlea61]

My favorite part of the 6 speed is that you don’t have to have the MDS

[@nighthawk_1]

I got an excellent rundown of this car...thanks Vas K. I'm gonna subscribe for more detailed videos of yours.

[@VasK614]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@jameslayton-cb7mr]

The yellow on the splitter is not an option. It is supposed to be removed by the dealer.

[@allent208-kf4hv]

I have a 2015 RT plus 6 speed its my favorite all around car to drive I call it grins per mile its a sunny day weekend car so here comes the mods

[@ReticentIndignation]

My main question concerning this car is how does it feel when cornering? I'm looking for a new daily but still want something relatively agile coming from a Focus ST. I haven't even ridden in one of these so I have no idea what they feel like. If it feels like a boat when cornering it might be a no go for me. Is the mileage relatively good with mostly highway? The perfect car does not exist... =(

[@bruceprentice6441]

I ordered a 2022 RT/shaker in May. Still waiting to take delivery. I was concerned that the Challenger might be coming to the end, and I didn’t want to miss out. Only this morning August 16/2022 I read Dodge is indeed ending the production of the gas powered Challenger. If you want one, better move fast !

[@A.ChristopherJohnson]

Dude, it does come with Blind Spot bro !!

[@johnvita5510]

It's a great car and good looking, fun with a stick!

[@NaztyNate]

Those banana peels are worth gold man. You should've kept them.

[@adambroderick8325]

I have one of these , 392 scat pack...it's bad ass..I also own a 2014 r1... I don't get the same aceleration as the bike...but it's awesome

[@bailey9r]

Odd you did a "complete review" on this car and other than torque to figure out what motor it has you never mention it being a 5.7.

[@BMan100]

Just ordered my 2021 Challenger Scatpack 6 spd.....of course I need to wait longer than the folks in the states because... yeah ..even if I live an hour from the plant lol. Middle of the winter for me when it arrives!....unless it's longer than a 3 month wait which is okay too lol BUT! back to the manual, I love the clutch on these cars, they are just a short peddle travel, and it grabs so nicely. the 392 is just perfect for these cars...plus you can hook up better.....sucks that we in Canada have to pay a grand EXTRA for the manual.

[@JimS870]

Do you mind me asking what your price was?

[@BMan100]

@@JimS870 Well, all I can suggest is you price out a 2021, with manual, dynamics, plus group, Harmon pardon, and the driver convenience group.. Should give you an idea.

[@JimS870]

@@BMan100 I priced it out, and the price made my eyes bulge. I think it was near 70 grand MSRP lol. I was wondering what the real OTD price is. My Mustang GT in 2016 was about 46 OTD.

[@BMan100]

@@JimS870 finance rate is better than Mustang is better, and longer so that's 1 item... 2, I can't drive the mustang, the ergonomics of it and the clutch for me are awful, wanted to try and Bullitt but I just can't drive them...Camaro is useless to me so I got another Challenger. I'm on my second (posted a small walk around vid on my youtube) Shame it doesn't come with Laguna leather but I don't take a chance with used on these cars..they do hold their value mind you.

[@jkd_exe]

Take my sub. Great stuff.

[@KITT-K2000]

if that car as brembo brake its a challenger r/t scat pack 392, the r/t 5.7L comes with regular brakes unless it changed in 2019

[@WaldenDustin]

It changed, Brembos are an option “performance handling group” You can also see the “Hemi” badge on the side instead of the 392 badge plus the R/T on the front

[@robcarey4278]

Okay I'm a Gearhead and the mechanic I can't be the only one to hear that this man is driving a V8 not a V6 and yes I can distinguish between the two another Gearheads as well he's not driving the V6

great review.....is 2020 the same ....of course ....i guess......but very very informative......
