As someone who is a writer and has a particular style to my writing, I wanted to commend you on your script which was flawless. Exceptionally well written to deliver information but not sounding dry or boring and having some of your personality injected into the script. Seriously, really well done.

Funny you should do the Challenger, I was thinking it'd be cool for a Mustang person to do comparison videos of the competition. I like the classic muscle car styling of the challenger. I do wish that Dodge would freshen it up a bit though. Just my opinion. Great video! Looking forward to more Mustang comparisons!

[@DragonKnightX12]

EliYourCarGuy Dodge is getting ready to do that actually.

[@peembarnjelly6863]

If they jack around with the design too much.... they might lose potential customers. The Challenger is a "constant" in an ever changing world of roller skate bubble cars that all have changed only to look like each other. Leave the design alone for the most part.... and the people will come. Maybe an upcoming change will be subtle.... something like changing the front and back to pay homage to the '72-'74 Challengers.....

[@DragonKnightX12]

@@peembarnjelly6863 Yea I thin if they leave the body mostly alone keeping the big muscle car box shape and just find a way to make a lighter and better frame and bring a Ram quality interior they would be good. Maybe tweak the motor design to be more efficient.

I got one. Same color and all. Except I have the sunroof. I love mine. If you considering buying. DO IT

[@drivecfl]

How's the cost of ownership if you drive it somewhat normal for the daily commute?

[@WolfofWexlerStreet]

@@drivecfl I've had mine since April. So I haven't really had that much come up as far as cost. I'm just coming up on my first oil change. Oil life in this car should last closer to 5000 miles the first time around. And probably between 3 and 4000 after that. I go to work and home for the most part and a full tank of gas lasts me for a full work week. If you're going places in between or the drive is a little far a full tank might last you 3 maybe 4 days. 93 octane is best for this car. But you can get away with 89. It costs me between 60 and 55 dollars to fill up my tank in Savannah. And I make a conscious effort to stay on the highways as much as I can. Idk how much it would be where you live. You're probably going to go thru tires racing and burning out or whatever. These 245's wont last on this car doing that often. They run between $210 to $225 a tire plus service fees. Haven't changed my brakes yet. No squeaking. But I try to take it easy on my car. You can look up the cost to replace brembo brakes online. Hope this helps and gives you an idea of the costs.

The Challenger is a Nice car, but when I see one pass by. Unless I see current badging, it's hard to tell if it's a 2008 or a 2019 with a redesign not due until 2021. FCA bean counters figures why put money into redevelopment R&D and change the design as long as it's continues to sell, make money and who knows where the coup and sedans sales will be as SUV's take over that market share. I still see the Challenger as a Pony or muscle car where the Mustang has become a totally new car moving from the aforementioned to a Sports car. Regarding the rear seat in the Mustang. If you require a useable back seat, the Mustang is not the vehicle to buy. Another reason the Challenger continues to sell. One amazing note is the gas gussler tax. Hard to believe just a few years ago, the EPA ratings which I feel were realistically unobtainable were headlines, thus car manufacturers were not reporting true EPA ratings and lieing about emissions. But a gas gussler tax on a mass production 2019 vehicle is amazing. I wonder if that's another reason for 2021 for a Challenger Redesign. Great video.

[@vonwynns1758]

Don Hayes I just look at the back lights but still can’t tell much difference.

[@Robert-goose1]

@@vonwynns1758 bar is 08-14. Two separate lights is 15-19

[@Robert-goose1]

The gas guzzler tax only applies on passenger cars so SUVs and trucks don't have it. There's no reason to change the current Challenger because it's perfect.

[@hemi300c4]

@@Robert-goose1 A federal tax of $7700 is applied to vehicleswith an EPA-estimated combined fuel-economy rating of less than 12.5 mpg. 2017 Chevrolet Corvette Zo6. 2017 Dodge Challenger Hellcat. 2017 Dodge Viper. 2017 Ford GT. Here are the only 2017 cars listed that are applicable for the highest gas gussler tax. You're correct about trucks and Suvs being exempt. That said, those aforementioned vehicles have improved their gas mileage ratings from prior years. If EPA regulations go back to the prior numbers set. Cars like the Challenger Hellcat will end up having to change from the less fuel efficient Hemi to a different type of engine. EPA regulations were rolled back in 2017, or these cars would not be available. This roll back effected all vehicles making fuel numbers much lower. The simular scenario happen in the early 70s due to excessive gas use and supposedly a shortage of gas with cars getting in the area of 10 mpg. The muscle cars vanished. I'm happy to see these great performance cars available today. The Challenger, Mustang and Camaro are fantastic cars. I don't want to see the reintroduction of the Mustang II.

[@hmackprotection1]

White Knight, you can buy that $38k 2019 Manual Scat Pack for around $36.8k if you take advantage of the year end Dodge Rebates, & if you keep it base with only adding the Technology package, you can walk out of the dealership with paying around $43k.. if you want the Dynamics Packed (the Hellcat Brakes, & Wheels) then add $2,500 to that price.. If I’m you, I would order the 2019 1320 Scat Pack. All in you should be able to buy it for around $48k..
