The Dodge Challenger in its current form and abundant V8 options could be going away soon. The demand for the Challenger and Charger are currently very high and for good reason, because these cars offer a visceral experience that not many new cars can replicate.

Just bought my 2021 Scat Pack 392 yesterday, I was always in love with these cars since release. Never in my life have I had this much power at my foot. Just took it out on a sunday drive in the mountains of Montana and was able to hit 147 going up an 8 percent grade with a lot left in the car, once i get used to the handling and power and put it through its paces. The comfort is amazing, I just went from a Jeep Cherokee to the 392 and the comfort was shocking.
How does the power compare from the jeep 392 to the scar? Is it wierd for you not having the awd?
I hope you got it used because they said no more than 50mph for break in.
@@garybishop4030I got my Scat Pack two weeks ago, and I put about 115 fairly spirited miles on it before I saw that section in the owners manual about not going over 55 mph for the first 100 miles. I thought, oh crap😮
Older guy planning to buy one of these next summer, read a lot of reviews and yours is one of the few with actual substance. Your maturity level exceeds your age, and you cover the real essence of the car, and provide worthwhile information without, well...without sounding like a guy your age, LOL.
Thanks for the effort you put into this.
I really appreciate that sir! Thank you and I know you will love this car
You did an awesome job on this video!
I recently bought a used 2021 Scat Pack 1320 edition in Mango with the premium interior options added…Interior is leather alcantera with some color stitched Scat bee in the headrest…Blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise with lane monitoring…
The original window sticker claimed it had the Drag tires already on it but the previous owner whom only put 1900 miles on it must have swapped them for Continental performance tires…They are still like brand new.
Car had factory warranty good till August but I ended up adding anew extended warranty with tire/wheel replacement package for six years or 60k miles which ever comes first for an extra $3k…
Dealership wouldn’t come down on the price but it’s all good, car is mint, no accidents (Carfax) and under 2,000 miles with every option available added I pretty happy with it…
It’s a garage queen only taken out on dry weather and gonna be parked during winter months.
These cars are so dope…. Just picked up my 2023 Scat Pack last call- granite with the A8 and alcantara leather with suede- an absolute dream boat (no pun intended).
Massive congrats my friend very happy you got one of the last models, such a great car. God Bless
Great review, I love how you explained that specs aren’t everything; the driving experience is, what gives a car soul. The Widebody simply makes the car look like it’s meant to look.
Glad you found value with it my friend
I love these cars and I'm okay with the fact that not much has been redesigned over the years because it doesn't really need one. Fast, comfortable and can shift it yourself. I'm good with that. Great review as always.
I agree my friend I like the classic nature of it
You are absolutely right.
The Challenger body style is the paragon of an American muscle car classic, changing the body style would just dilute it's classic profile. I don't think this car will ever go out of style. When I was a kid in the 70's I'd have sold my mother to have one.
Amen Brother, we have a 2023 Dodge Charger RT Scat Pack Widebody with the 392 Hemi V8 in it and man let me tell you its a freakn beast.
@@erikbloomfieldAmen Brother and it looks a million times better than the 04-06 GTOs (aka the rebadged Holden Monaro from Australia mate).
Hey Kevin…your Mopar reviews are the best out there!!! Wish you could find a way to do them more often. Mopar or no car!
I'm humbled by that but yes I too wish that I could review more Mopars because most people online just say the same things. I do have approval from Stellantis to receive their press cars that's how I got the Jeep as well but hopefully I can get more. Thank yoy
Maybe the best Scat Pack review I’ve seen. Great work, man. Thank you.
I appreciate that happy holidays my friend
I had Dodge build me a. 2016 Scott pack that I took delivery of January 2016 and have owned it ever since. So I know this car inside And out forwards and backwards and I love almost everything about it, I watch reviews and so far this has been one of the most honest And best reviews yet.
This is a great video!!! I enjoyed the sound and ride while you was talking!!! Nice job.
Awesome, thank you!
Such a good looking car, great stance. Never owned one but had a 6 cylinder rental and was impressed with the way that drove. I wouldn't kick one out of my garage. I remember my Uncle bringing his new 1971 orange home. I was 11, but the men circled around that car and that stays in the mind. It was a 440 "police" motor with the wood pistol grip I heard them saying. I think the modern version is very true to the first version, and everytime I see one I think of that day. Great review thanks for the memory.
That's awesome my friend man an orange 1971 Challenger that's epic, appreciate you sharing this with us!
Thanks Kevin. I appreciate your candor! Am considering swapping out my 5.7 R/T for a 6.4 Scat Pack and this info is helpful.
You're on point with your review! I have a widebody 392 challenger and it's perfection.
Massive congrats my friend you did very well with that car. I love the widebody package looks amazing
Outstanding review!
Best review i have ever seen. Grear job 👍
I’m humbled by that thank you!
I have a scar pack shaker and I love it! Its very usable, huge trunk and very comfortable to drive and when you want to hit it, look out!!
The shaker is cool!
👍one of the best reviews of challenger
I own 3 of these on GTA V lol Seriously they are pretty comfy road trip cars I rented an R/T 6 years and took it through the twisties from Phx to Sedona it performed really really well for a heavy car.
Yea they handle better than what people give it credit for
Awesome review! Great personality! Car IS a powerful beast! Congratulation!
Thanks a ton!
A very sympathetic and realistic introduction👍
I am the proud owner of a Challenger in Knuckle White "Small Body"😎. Bought the vehicle brand new here in Germany this year with some packages (Dynamics etc.).
I like the interior very much and it fits perfectly with the retro theme of the car. Not too over-designed like in other vehicles.
The mix of digital instruments with analogue displays is just right and the display of navigation in the perfect size.
Greetings from Good old Germany😀
Oh wow very cool. That's awesome that you own this car in Germany you must get a lot of attention, and thank you very much for stopping by my friend!
Hi Driving a Dodge Challenger in Germany must turn a lot of heads what's the highest Octane rating Fuel does Germany have Now. Here in the States Highest depending what state you live in Texas and Florida had 93 octane and Arizona and California have 91 octane . Have fun on Autobahn Lucky Fk.
Great information. Enjoyed the video.
Glad you found value with it my friend
Awesome car
I’ve had two now and they are bullet proof and completely awesome to drive
I really like your comments on the challenger. I have one. Love it!
great review
Got my ‘22 392 Indigo in May. My first Chally no dynamics or extra fluff. 47K. Loving it so far! 😃😍 You’re absolutely right. I find myself not listening to music much because the engine sounds so dang good!
Excellent review!! Just waiting on the local dealer to get in a R/T that seems like it's been in transit forever. It's not real top of the line but it's a nice car and I can afford it without breaking the bank.
Great review
Thanks!
Great review bro!!!!
Appreciate you boss
Very nice review. I did it in reverse, bought my used 2017 SRT392 that previous owner had modded. And then researched reviews. I was taken in by Octane Red paint & limo tint. Turns out the SRT was the top dog in 2017, loaded with leather, Nav and 19 speaker Harmon Kardon sound. Prev guy tracked the car, lowered and put braces under hood & in trunk. I just took the braces out of the trunk so I have full trunk and can drop back seats, if needed.
Hi Kevin I like your video I took advice and put money down on a 2022 dodge challenger RT widebody scat pack. I should get my car by March I’m excited can’t wait. Good job on your review.
Massive congrats my friend, you will not be disappointed! Just don’t get too many tickets lol 😂
How’s that car ?
The automatic’s sound amazing on the upshifts though. That BRRAAPP in between gears is just music to my ears.
Yes you're right auto sounds great on upshifts
And even better with mid muffler delete!
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.
Amen Brother, we have a 2023 Dodge Charger RT Scat Pack Widebody with the 392 Hemi V8 in it and man its a beast.
Yes, don't get the 1320 option unless you want to run easy 11 second quarter mile ET's, and have more suspension tuning options...
great review. ordering a 2022 scat this weekend 12 18 21
Massive congrats my friend! You will def love it
Ok I stopped in Dodge about a month ago with my 20 2SS Orange Crush Camaro manual trans . After a few hours road out with a dark Red wide body auto trans . I loved the Camaro and wish I could have kept it. But man this car is fast and comfortable. Lots of controllable features like the 2SS . It may not be as nimble as a Camaro but it handles just fine . I say it handles better then my 19 mustang GT . Great car also , The Trunk is a blessing , and like the others , back seat is basically useless . I love all American muscle and it’s great to have choices. Great vid keep ‘em coming .
Congratulations my friend on the new Dodge but for also owning a Camaro 2SS I’m glad you got to own some of the best drivers cars for the money
Beautiful car congratulations
Over inflation in the tires also helps keep them from flatspotting while sitting on the lot for extended periods.
Yea good point
I’m a charger guy but with design challenger takes the cake
When I buy my widebody I’m not going to do a Muffler delete but I am going to allpar garage in Georgia where I stay and get a stage 3 package done which is long tubes , 180 thermostat , intake , cam , lifters and tune
I know that price is advertised but you can’t buy one for that , they run in low 50’s if you could find one (new). , you’ll pay 45 for one with 10k miles on it
Earned a sub. +like! Love it! 🙂
Thanks!
Thank you Kevin.
Best review on the 392 Challenger🤙 now I need to influence my wife that we need a challenger instead of a mini van for our family 😎
Thank you my friend glad you enjoyed, I partnered up with a company called LeaseCompanion they offer 8% off MSRP on top of any incentives just in case you were interested you don’t have to use them but you’ll love this car
Leaving nyc so i need a car now. Looking at these!
The parking brake is a remnant of the Mercedes merger. The Charger has some parts from the W211 E-class as well as the S class. If you look up the W211 and W212 E-class, they both have that ratcheting foot parking brake with the pull release.
Nice review 👌. Personally I would take the automatic.
That's understandable it's fast as hell to shift
You’re right about the difference in the Manual & Automatic. Also you save on the Gas Guzzler tax getting the Automatic.
Little late to the party. I personally own a 2017 SRT 392 6 SPEED. I absolutely love the 392 for the street. As good as the factory manual is I up graded to a Barton shifter and a good tune. Night and day difference in shifting. I highly recommend it. Personally unless you plan on hitting the track alot the 392 is about perfect. With good tires and a decent DA I can get into the 11s. That's pretty decent for street play.
I did do a mid delete but left everything else stock.
I agree with you 100% on getting a Hellcat. YES I do want one but I don't think I would get rid of my SRT 392, it is that much fun to drive.
What's a DA?
Does it feel faster with the Barton shifter?
@@garybishop4030
I am very sorry, I literally just seen you question. DA = Density Altitude
Meaning the air quality. lower temperature, low humidity, even running at sea level affects the DA. Hot muggy days will slow your car down. The cooler the better, within limits. You want it warm enough to get good traction but cool enough so everything isn't running hot. The higher you go in elevation the thinner the air is, less oxygen in the air. In Tennessee here I am around 700 ft above sea level which isn't bad. Racing in Denver, 5,200 feet above sea level would require some tuning, alot less oxygen in the air, poor DA. DA even affects fuel mileage to some degree. Your engine performs better at night or morning.
I hope this helps.
@@Davidfresssh
I'm faster with the Barton shifter so yea I believe it is. The shifter itself dosen't make the car faster but me being to shift it faster does. Smoother shifting and shorter throws.
Went with the ToRED with bumblebee stripe....amzaing car.
I always wanted one of these in the big boy v8 stick and in purple.
The plum crazy was awesome but they did bring back the purple but it's not the same. It Called hellraisen I believe
I love these. It was actually a big rental car at the time.
Yea these things are awesome I would love to annihilate one as a rental 😂
Had a 16 scat m6. Couldn't wait got a 21 wb scat m6. Trust me. I have owned 16 muscle cars... this car is the best muscle car ever. Looks, fun, compliments etc. The sound with mid muffler delete,??? Makes my friends with foreign stuff go omg!!!
I believe the factory pumps the tires up because of the car sit too long the tires were flat spot on the dealers lot. I also have yet to see a dealer who properly adjust the tire pressure before the car is delivered.
Personally I'll take the 275/300 tires,the more rubber I have on the road the more I like it.T/A =TransAm after the original 70'T/A in the old SCCA Trans Am series.
But Time Attack is pretty good,,,I like it!
Great review!
Yes my friend you’re def right the 275 is the perfect tire size for sure for these cars 👍
a lot of heavy steel and a very heavy and thirsty engine with enough power to have fun, damn I like it Kevin, thanks.
I like it too! Unfortunately despite that heavy steal body...it's not that safe a front collision would pretty much yield the driver to lose a foot Unfortunately
@@MeynMotorGroup yes that is bad, the Car is build very cheap from Dodge to put the Car on the market for a very low price.
I just bought this same exact car today. Picking it up next week. Had them add the BS monitoring and also got 0% interest rate.
The T/A pkg stands for Trans Am. Look at a 1970 T/A Challenger 340 6 Pack. The striping and other things are the same. It's made to replicate the Trans Am series racing series cars in 1970. It iz lowered half an inch from stock and has bigger sway bars. Look at a 2023 Challenger T/A 392 Widebody! Awesome car!
This bad boy goes through gas like no other!
Yea small tank doesn't help either
I thought these cars were pretty cool when they came out but Dodge has certainly gotten their moneys worth out of that design by this point!
They sure have idk where they go from here this was so timeless
Current body and equipment came out in 2015. 6 years isn't a horribly long run.
@@gorion70 They still look exactly the same as they did in 2008, I can’t tell the difference.🤷♂️
@@CarswithNash interesting. my 2014 seems different from my 2021 lol. granted its not dramatic but it is different.
They could increase the quality of materials used very easily in a production run this long.
I hate that cops 👮🏻♂️ be capping lol
Anyone that drives this car wide open throttle will need to be prepared to row some gears real fast. It hits redline pretty quickly. If you like running out gears, you will not be satified with this car. It's still a real fun car, though.
If the dynamics package has the same rotors as the Hellcat, I'd avoid them They'll put you in the poor house at replacement time.
Excellent review! Thanks for keeping it honest.
You're def right the 6.4 really is quick to respond. I think the gearing is fine but you don't need to be prepared to shift quick
I'm getting 2016 challenger scatback with shacker package with elcontar seets and blind spot mording and a 6 speed manual transmission
Probably better off just buying a new one and negotiating 8% off msrp than buying an 8 year old model out of warranty and high miles for almost the same cost as a new one
@MeynMotorGroup I rather have it because the guy before me hardly drove it because it only has 36,000 KM on it so it's not really broken in at all and he baby the card so it's in Mackulet condition
Bought mine this afternoon. Should arrive tomorrow. The anticipation is unbearable.
“If you’re a rich douchbag go ahead and buy one “ ! LOL. great review. When I retire in five years this might be my go too or a 2002-2004 C5 Corvette manual! I’ll see if I can find an unmolested one of these which will probably be nearly impossible but I’ll need to drive both to compare. My 2002 Lexus ES300 will be my luxury ride and either the C5 or this Scat Pack will be my bitch to ride hard
I neat the automatics all the time but your 233lbs heavier. The 2015 and 2016 challenger scat packs are 4080lbs the automatics are 4250
Just purchased a 21 T/A 392 this week. Should be ready for delivery next week. T/A stands for Trans Am. In the 70's they created the T/A package to compete in the Trans Am races. Dodge cant label it a Trans Am as GM sill owns the copyright on the name.
Oh very interesting idk where the hell I got time attack from then but that's good to know, yea I never would have thought Trans AM because that's a GM thing but now the history makes sense thank you for clarifying. More importantly, massive congrats on the purchase epic machine
@@MeynMotorGroup I thought it was as good a guess as any lol. Thanks man I’m excited to get it. Been wanting a 392 for a long time. Glad to be getting it before they stop making it.
@@MeynMotorGroup Time Attack was what a Viper trim was called at one point if I'm not mistaken. Either way, this is one of the best reviews I've come across.
@@rikwilkinson1451 that's what it was thanks for that. And I appreciate you watching glad the video helped
Everywhere I go in my Scat WB faces beam at me. Yeah, 6 spd stick. My first was 2008 5.7 RT 6 spd. Now 2021. Fierce looking 305's all around. Sport mode screams in 3rd gear through town at 30 mph. All day show off.
Why did they make em in Canada?
Love mine!
45k for nothing on it in 2022 but better to have one than not at all
How’s the reliability on these mopars? Curious about the charger scats
Seems to be a mixed bag. I've heard some people say they never had an issue and others say it's junk. I personally wouldn't own one out of warranty and I would try to buy one new or lease one new if possible
@@MeynMotorGroup thanks!
Would you choose a manual or automatic?
Idk my friend I really could go either way. But the benefits of the manual aside from being great to shift is its a anti theft security precaution since nobody knows how to drive a manual. It may hold its value a tad better...that would be hard to say since this is a mass produced car. But maybe.
Auto makes it fast as hell and makes some cool upshift noises they are both amazing, I guess I would personally lean manual because there's not many new cars being built with a manual today
You don't need blindspot monitoring when your going faster than everyone
That's a fact
I love my 6 spd HellCat!
As you should
I would much rather have a E brake where the cup holders are
I mean it's kinda dum to custom a 392 but a 5.7 makes sense it's the base rt and they can handle mods I would say if you don't have the money right now go for a base rt add the super charger make about 400+ hp
So my 2023 was a bit more pricey, unfortunately, but still worth every penny IMO. I love just looking at in the drive way almost as much as I love driving it. 🥰
Yea it's worth it glad you own one my friend such a fun ride with classic looks
@@MeynMotorGroup Thanks sir and fully agreed! I feel like the Challenger is the last traditional looking car body style. Beauty from every angle.
Hell yeah brother
👍
I'm so glad I got mine brand new for 36k! The price on these just keep going up?! Everybody knows mopars have taken over..."Dodge, the brotherhood of muscle"
Did you get the 392 for that much? If so where?
Which model and year?
All hail algorhythm 🙌🏻 🌝
Almost gone i believe 2022 is the last year of production for the Challenger v8
The 245's are just too dangerous on these. I was just tapping the gas and the rear end was fishtailing. I put the 275's on and it was a big improvement
275 is ideal 245 just makes it a bit more fun
I've had my share of Mopars ('10 Charger SRT, '10 Jeep SRT8, '15 Challenger Hellcat and '18 Trackhawk) but I think the 392 Scat is the best bang for the buck. Especially now that they have the Widebody. 🔥
I wish I'd known you didn't have a Hellcat or Trackhawk to review, they were fun but RIDICULOUS 🤣🤣🤣
Yea my friend you've had some epic mopars I'm so glad you got to enjoy them. Scat pack is certainly good value.
Funny guy ! … cool video
fugetaboutit.
I feel like if ur gonna buy one of these it's better off getting a old one just because it doesn't really change alot alot
Save some money too
In theory yes but in this market it's cheaper to buy a new one...for now at least since used ones are trading for more than new
I have a 2015 6speed it's only 4080lbs
Besides the reliability issue, Chrysler needs to offer the Scat Pack in AWD to improve its sales, especially in winter weather areas.
I looovvveee my scat pack
😂😂😂 I like this guy!!!
Prices went up high asf for them 😔
Yeah I'm going to wait it out
lmaoooo the intro 😂
I'm glad you enjoyed that my friend 😂
6:30 A-FRIGGIN-MEN!
Can someone tell me what a scat pack is?
Scat pack is a trim level for the Challenger
Scat Packs come exclusively with a 392 6.4l Hemi V8. The regular RT models come with a 5.7l V8
Scat Pack was a marketing campaign Dodge came up with in the 60's. The car had to be a 12 sec (12.99 or less) quarter mile car to be "in the pack". It was a play on words referring to the Rat Pack - Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. etc of the 50's and 60's fame.
@@gorion70 next guy to reply: “A pack of shit”
Anyone saying that they think the clutch is heavy must have the body strength of a 9-year-old....lol
Lol hit it right on the nail, never understood why people bought these in v6 jus go get a 370z, way better v6
Lol. "Fuck them". Subscribed.
Lol glad you enjoyed that
LMAO...it looks like "you're up to no good" Haha.
T/A stands for Trans Am.
The fact knowing that there are a good number of hellcats in the 40 thousand range makes it harder for me to choose a brand new scat for the same price.
I wouldn't buy a used mopar. Used and abused with no warranty is a recipe to empty the bank account
I agree. Used rt, ya never know how it's been treated. That's why I bought new. These days, it wasn't much more for a new one with a warranty. Mine is a month old, and I've beat on it a little. I'm 63 yes old!
