50,000 MILES LATER... What its like owning a Challenger Hellcat!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 май 2024
- So my friend recently crossed the 50,000 mile mark on his 2016 Challenger SRT Hellcat and I thought it would be a cool idea for him to share what his ownership experience has been with the car. He has really put some miles on this thing and its crazy how well built these Hellcats are since the car is still running very strong and showing no signs of slowing down.

I also have no problem with my Hellcat. Forza Horizon is pretty reliable.

@@boobacockaa :And the fact they top of the line.
I like how he mentions the actual ownership costs instead of just monthly payment.
I’ve owned a scatpack and now a hellcat, both autos. Besides the Hellcat itself costing more, the cost of ownership has been about the same in my experience. No mechanical issues with either. Hellcat averages 2 mpg less than the SP on same commute and driving habits. I have fun with my cars but don’t run them like these guys regularly.
Insurance about the same as well. The hellcat is way more fun and satisfying to drive in every way imo.
I bought my 16’ HC with 3k miles and certified for $50k a year ago.
@@ms3ben Great deal on the HC! I'm interested in what you thought more in depth of the HC vs SP? From what I can see there's around like a 20k difference between the two. Was curious if the price difference mirrors the experience.
SukynsinGaming yes, you’re not paying $20K more for a hellcat and get a scat pack type of quality. HC is a bang for its buck
GCVP yes the hellcat and demon are in class of its own. Demon is slightly better because of horsepower but they’re equals in every other way, and the hellcat red eye is better than demon tbh
Moto Guzzi don’t see in the hood just say ignorant people, and people that live in the hood are more likely to be ignorant because the education system is trash and they live in shit area
18Gs just for gas in 2 years! You have to literally feed the Hellcat an economy car every 2 years.
Jason D that’s way off I guarantee at least half those miles are freeway where he was Getting more like 27 Mpg. Which comes out to be more like 7-8 thousand for the amount of mileage on the car. He obviously don’t know to much about oil changes if he’s running full synthetic no way he should change oil after only 3K miles !!!
@@scionluver if you didn't run your vehicle like a race car id definitely say not to change your oil using synthetic every 3k miles. I drive an 04 Tahoe and while she's no race car I do run her hard, and I change my oil (non synthetic, just standard oil from Walmart) less than 3,000 miles usually, though I do lots of city driving and I typically ride the throttle everywhere else. Changing oil is one of the best ways to make a car last, and if this guy has his hellcat at 50k miles and drives as hard as he does, he's definitely doing something right
The hell cat needs sacrifice.😂
@@scionluver it's the avg the car says, so I think you are super downplaying from 18k to 8k. If half of those miles were at 27mpg the car would say an avg of like 18mpg instead. Remember he trashes the car and also had a lot more boost than factory.
so you guys know the name of the beat/music
If you all are curious about it, I have about 96k miles on my Charger Hellcat 2015. I daily drove it until recently and did many road trips and drove it just for the pure fun of it ALL the damn time. I had the supercharger failure issue about 40k miles in and had to replace the fuel rails, but other than that, no real problems. I think I pretty much have the same mods as this guy, CAI, mid muffler delete, pulley swap, 180-tstat and 93 octane tune. It dynoed at 694 to the wheels. They built an amazing car and I still drive it a little more than I should but can't help it as its so much more fun than my Maxima as a daily. I just know it can't take the toll I been putting on it forever. Probably will hit 100k late this year or early next year.
Heloo nice to hear that
Would like to know what is the update for you cat?
These Hell Cat are highly reliable, people mod them and drive them like they stole it, then complain it's expensive to maintain, maintenance on a Bugatti is expensive, a Lamborghini Aventador is expensive, dodge chrysler not that much.
While that may be true wirh some is was NOT with me. Truth is as is started falling apart I didn't want to be hammering it as I had no idea what would muck up next. I blame Dodge for not fixing my car as it was in for 22 service calls in 24 months... Then the motor blew at 30 mph in my town. Thats what happened to me and it still pisses me off 2 years later. I want the hellcat and in my town several guys had the same problems I had. There were also guys who hadn't had a problem with theirs. Well that's great for them, not me.
I think scotty would disagree on chrysler are reliable cars
Tafari Boozer well for some one who is a burget isn’t going to buy a Bugatti.
Tafari Boozer Scotty would like to have a word with you about Dodge and Chrysler cars
Chrysler is unreliable and awfully designed tbh 😂😂 Scotty knows
The fact that it's that loud, with %5 tint all around and he has no license plate and hasn't been pulled over is just fucking insane
smh just got pulled twice over the license plate thing. he must be movin like a chest piece
I was thinking the same thing, and to top it off , the car is Red!!!! I mean everything about this car screams for a Cop to pull him over!!!!

You abuse your shit. You don't follow the manual maintanance interval, you get what you deserve.

@@flex_fusion9694 What kinda logic is that
JCBeFree the logic I drive with? If I stop at a red light. And launch and bang second the motherfucker should hold. That’s my logic.
@@flex_fusion9694 Give me a single car that can do this. Think about Motorsport they have to replace almost everything every 2d race...
sorry, but 50k miles isnt shit. Curious to see how it holds up at 100k...
Eshu he’s been like daily driving it for 4 years. I think it’s a fair amount. Hard to get 100k that fast unless you drive a SHITLOAD.
I’m trynna see at 200K
Keep in mind that this car probably pushing 800hp or more with the mods and it's run hard all the time.Those are abusive miles and it held up with no issues. If the car was driven like most cars, these cars can bang out 300k with little maintenance.
I'm tryna see how it runs in 500k lol
@@mikesamra9126 Idk bout 300k with little maintenance but it's not a mazda so it will last to 180-200 for sure
The block is tried and proven to be reliable. If you keep you engine stock and maintain your hellcat regularly, trust me it will run for 200,000 miles.

Same lol
@@FOXXHOUND86 what gas you running? Sure your R/T gets 14 after mods, but stock SRT gets 14 on 93 minimum, if you're lucky. Unless you're running 93 (I don't think the 5.7 requires 93) already then youre better off with the 5.7 as the fuel will cost more on the 6.4 or 6.2
@@RK-ci9nndamn thing it's married to 93 on the tune but even without I still put that in apparently the manuals have to have 93 while the autos can run 87

Imma be real with you chef, them Hellcats are hella reliable for their segment and usage.
Honestly, for this kind of a car, I'd expect much more problems with that millage. Similar BMW's are MUCH more expensive (and I'd say less fun).
It ain't perfect, but it's good and doesn't break down as much as its Power to Price ratio may lead you to believe.

Dope intro Rush ! Song was fire!
Remember the days when your car would "pop" and you'd slink down in your seat in embarrassment and get it to a shop quick to be tuned? Now they call that a "burble tune", do it on purpose, and wonder why their power and fuel economy are down! I bought a used Z06 for track use and the previous owner had tuned it for big pops. I got it on the dyno, got rid of them, and the car runs waaaay more smooth. As an added bonus it gained 28whp (torque went up about 16) and the gas mileage is even better. SMH. Stay safe everyone.
you can tune it to make it pop? and it used to be an embarrassing thing?
I have a Hellcat with 53k miles and absolutely love it. Drive it everyday.👍🏻
SRT HC wats ur mpg
@@just_a5.7 11.6 mpg. Totally blows. City driving.
Hellcat: When you want to spend $20 in gas every trip to the grocery store
My daughter has spent that much on repairs of her used 2012 Mini In the last year. Brakes, belts, battery, grille, 2 sets of coils, 3 sets of spark plugs, an oil leak, a front engine cover, and on and on. The Hellcat is a bargain by comparison.
Love your videos! Greetings from Fresno! 🙋🏻♀️
Aye representing visalia over here!
I got the same color on my 2015 RT Challenger, pretty nice/rare color, everyone has black, white, grey, or octane red. Love the video, very informative
No link to his channel in the bio??? What a friend
He wanted to keep his boyfriend a secret
Outstanding & well done video. 👍 I've been a Hellcat owner since 2015. Proudly own 2, Challenger & Charger since 2016. Yes, I too had the supercharger replaced on the Challenger, but aside from that, rock solid cars! 😃 ~ 30k miles between the two.😃
I just bought a hellcat at the end of December. I'm driving in rain and snow and I love it. 1200 miles in two weeks
Hate to defend this car, but people talking about what he's already replaced needs to understand that ANY car whether you build it or buy it at this level of performance is going to be this way. You will drink that much gas, you will go through tires/brakes that often and you have random things come up like over boosting and replacing the supercharger. I'm a mechanic, I've built a number of cars and if you want a 700+hp car, really anything over around 400 depending on the vehicle, this is the case. The car is doing fine, we'll see how they are after 100k but it takes balls to produce and warranty a car like this so good on Dodge.

Nice! Mine is a daily, had over 3 years now, drive the hell out of it. Tracked it. Have fun with it. About to hit 49k, no serious internal issues. Have messed up my front bumper as well. Stupid high parking block lip got caught.
I want a hellcat but im afraid to take it to a drag strip cause all ive been seeing is stock diffs cracking/braking and drive shafts snapping
I bought a 2013 civic si with 38k miles which came with new tires and it now has 81k miles over a 4 year time span and I still have the same tires 😂😂😂
I have a extremely rare Crosstour Type R--39k and only in the shop for oil changes--I also have 38k--and I am on my second set of tires.The tires that came with the car stock were not designed for the upgrades and shredded the fron tires at 10k.But I had money and bought Zr rated 60k tires and have 20k on them and they are at 75%--you can check my vids out if you click my name.I am putting a new video up now to showcase my exhaust> have the uber reliable 3.5 and had the car made to run in the silver state classic--no turbos or superchargers to heat the engine up.I also pay get this--600 a year for full car insurance--100 dollar deductible.I also have carbon ceramic brakes and Type R Honda Racing rotors.Brake pads have 25 k on them and are at 90%.Car brakes so good that I have never had the ABS go on and I test it in the winter each year to make sure it works.
But you are so boring
Cool but tires expire after three years
Actually a helpful video , before buying my srt 392 I never looked into the gas , maintenance , etc , only monthly payments . Was looking to upgrade to a hellcat soon
ed 916 was looking or are looking??I'm stuck between supercharging my 5.0 or getting a 392 or Hc. I get 16 mpg on my 5.0 but I beat the living shit out of it and race mopar. And ss
@@just_a5.7 I’d go supercharger on your 5.0 over getting a hellcat tbh. Now if you didn’t have your 5.0 and were debating between the two then I’d say get the hellcat. But since you already have your 5.0 I’d just supercharge it. Make sure to oil pump gears and timing gear sprocket!
@@ZFA1738 I actually totaled my 5.0 and I had to settle for a 2019 rt 5.7 charger im planning on going whipple. I saved alot I got the rt for 25k.

@@just_a5.7 I totaled my 5.0 too. Ended up breaking my leg so can’t drive for quite some time. When I heal I plan to buy either a challenger hellcat or gt350. But damn sorry to hear that. Rt is a great car and that’s a good price!
@@ZFA1738 yea I learned the hard way not to drive on bald tires even after the rain lol
This is the kind of hellcat owner you dont wanna be, beat the hell out of it once he got it and didnt wait 10k miles to do engine work on it, has spent thousands of money on gas. Man I sure hope this guy has money for retirement because this car has been making all kinds of holes in his pockets!!
Nick Nicky do you know this guy? Do you know his life? Do you know how deep his pockets are? If not, quiet down.
Whenever i get mine it will be a garage queen...... driven only weekends. At the track. I think they are consistent enough to bracket race
Pretty silly to go through tires and brakes that often.
Mike Probst you wouldn’t know about that fast life
Performance tires and brakes don't last that long lol one reason i sold my vette and went back to my mustang, so much cheaper to own
Mike Probst no it’s not silly. Once you get a car over 500 horsepower. It’s INSANE DRIVING. But you have to be a car person to truly understand the emotion he puts into his car💯💯💯 I respect what he paid. It’s one of the many pleasures of life. When you have the money. Many dreams come true
No it's not
Mike Probst that’s what happens when you actually go fast
I love my mustangs.. But these challengers are keeping American muscle alive. I hope Ford will do the same with the next generation
RJ 97 have you seen the mustang mach e? 🤦🏻♂️
AmericanGTS okay you don’t like the mustang we get it
Do you count the Shelby GT500 as a mustang?
Mac Sc see that’s a tricky question. If you go into a dealership or shop for one online everyone says cobra. It’s a Mustang with its own separate identity. Like the hellcat isn’t a charger/challenger (even though it is) it’s in its own separate marketing class. I think the name just holds weight like when talking to the guys at work. My buddy has a Mustang doesn’t sound as intimidating as my buddy has a cobra.
Sticked through the whole thing interesting new facts💯
Thanks for making that video
Beast Mopars!
Beautiful car
You didn't mention the drag radial size but I was able to pause the video and read the tire which is a 305/45/R18 have you tried to run a 315 or 320 rear tire? Also how do the nitto drag radials do? As in do you still have a lot of traction issues and you also said you ran some sticky mickies (micky Thompson drag radials) how did they perform and which performed better as far as grip/traction between the nittos and M/T drags?
Thank you love the car great tips
Very nice rides ! I think I will keep my 2016 manual Scat lol, just flipped 11,000 miles.
That’s why I have an SXT lol. Awesome looking car love it and can still step on it often without refilling everyday. But even us V6 drivers wish we had v8s sometimes lol. Awesome video!
Vrsacee _ your gay for having a V6
Ohhh that’s why you don’t have a Hellcat. Not the monthly payment or insurance or anything
Or u can’t afford it
I like how it's said how well the car has held together especially how hard homeboy drives it. Then the hood goes up and we find out the entire suspension has been replaced as well as the supercharger. Not exactly holding together especially @only 50k miles.
Was the front 1 piece rotors on the hellcat a straight swap to the 2 piece rotors? Kinda curious how he got that to work
This was a very informative video. Thanks for showing me I definitely can not afford a hellcat 😂😂😂😂
Noah Escalera 😂😂😂😂
He’s driven a lot of miles in a short period of time. I average 10k miles a year and 9 mpg and gas around me is $3.5 so I’m at about less than $4,000 a year on gas.
Hey good video. But I think if your intro was him doing a b roll of his first time launching the car when the break in was done. and then comparing that lunch time to the launch time at 55,000 miles. That would of been better
I just saw a real charger for the first time and was amazed at the size of them, built like a tank.
Broo, that is the hardest intro beat!! What is the name?
I have a 2019 Jeep trackhawk and I’m paying close to 900 a month an almost 500 a month on insurance , but was considering switching to hellcat , would that be smart or no ? Hellcat is a dream car of mine to own
Follow your dreams..
Great video
My hellcat never never had an issue for 20k miles so far so good, just make sure your engine oil on the car is always on the dipstick
The popping noise from the exhaust makes a nice muscle car sound like 4 banger get rid of the popping get the low muscle car growling instead
$140 of gas per week 😳

I rarely have any problems passing people and so many people give me enthusiastic looks when they see it. 90K miles right now and no major problems (knock on wood).

how many miles per gallon does it say he gets when driving in it in like Valet Mode or any other lower Mode like Eco

my friends have challengers (of course I'm the odd man out with the silver fighter jet looking 02 camaro) They complain about things like the windows not shutting.. If anyone doesn't know when you open the door on a challenger the window opens slightly automatically then closes again when you shut the door, their doors don't work right anymore so the windows stay open just enough to whistle and give wind noise over 50mph.. one of the challengers blew its engine about 20k miles, HOWEVER Chrysler replaced it for free.. all fine now, no issues. I love to have a hellcat because I'm used to the wind noise with the camaro, but god dam 5-10 mpg lol.. the Camaro gets 30mpg til you put your foot in it plus I believe has a 16 gallon tank like the challengers, so the range on the challenger must be pull in every gas station idk. Decisions decisions man, nice sounding cars though.
Have seen a lot of SRT8's from 2008 up to 2015 that have 100K on them and even I have seen ones' with over 200K miles and these cars are being resold without any major issues..It just shows you how well the engines are...these aren't a volvo's that have 250K...Im waiting to see one out there with 300K on the SRT8's

FLORIDABO1 904 600 a month is actually one of the best prices you can get
@@EddieAvila_ I don't believe it's 600 a month.. How much did he purchase the hellcat? 40k to keep it around 600 bucks
agerman135 not really you can easily negotiate in the numbers you want if not walk out. Plus dodge has deals every once in a while so.
Your right depends how much he financed, I looked up used 2016 hellcat for 46k and car guru quoted payment around 800 buck.. So idk
agerman135 any dealer can quote you how ever much they want to. Watch the life of Jeramy Barrett and he talks to you on how he financed his hellcat, although I think he leased it im not sure. But he directly went into the dealer stating he wanted his pay to be 600 a month otherwise he’d walk out. My point is, even with a 5,000 or lower down payment you can still get your numbers in the 600 a month range
What about insurance big fella?
That's the same thing I'm wondering
GUARD GUARD!!!!!
My stock auto Hellcat averages 13mpg, I enjoy my cat but don't abuse. The only issue Ive had was a right fuel rail sensor failed, which the powertrain did not cover. Stock power feels pleny strong and satisfying 1st-4th imo but needs a drag radial to properly put the power down. I dont spend nearly as much as this guy, as I'm still on the original factory tires, brake pads. I also have a tesla 3PD so only drive the hellcat a couple times a week. Actually besides the worse fuel economy my Hellcat has cost about the same as my prior scatpack. The insurance is about the same and the overal cost between the scat and hellcat has been similar. I bought the scatpack new and the Hellcat slightly used at a similar cost. Ive had my hellcat almost 2 years.A lightly used Hellcat can be had for around 45-50k and is one on of the best bangs for the buck out there currently imo. Big power can be added reliably for little cost as well. If you dont have to have a manual, defintely go with the charger HC.
That rotor situation just made me want a scat pacc😂
I'm sitting at 39k on my 2016. Been to the dealer 3 times for unplanned visits: A failed HID light and two recalls. That's IT! Love my Hellcat. I really want a Redeye, but not sure if it is that large of an improvement(from being an Hellcat owner) to start over.
DO IT
HellKitty 101 nice. Do it bro! You only live once!
you can mod yours and have more power you already passed warranty lol.
Just think what it must be like owning a hellcat with a manual transmission.
Would you put demon style fenders? I like the hellcats but the redeye looks meaner, however $20k+ idk
Ody's World nah I wouldn’t put the fenders, I’d rather just buy the widebody hellcat
I want a Hellcat so bad! Once I finish fixing up my house Im gonna look at buying one!
Totally makes me not want one
Should make you want to improve so you could afford it and have the kinda fun these dudes are having.
Unless you NEED that extra hp there's a ton of production vehicles you can have just as much fun in for half the price. But some guys just want that extra hp and to say they own a hellcat no shame there
You are clearly not a car guy 😂
Aint nobody tryna spend half a check on gas every month
No problem! Much more reliable than ppl say! ....... Had the blower and suspension replaced in only 50k miles lol
If you watched the video you would know he modded the blower so it blew and he ran over a big rock so it damaged his suspension.
I am so torn right now, either a fully loaded scat pack or a stripped down hellcat. I have a moderately equipped R/T now but really want that power (and warranty)
If you're even considering getting a Cat just get the Cat.
You're like the gamers nexus of Dodge challengers it trips me out
nice car but sorry it sounds horrible like that.
agreed, it's just for kids who need attention
Jellyyyyyy
Ya not southing and depp instead way too harsh and not pleasing to ears
Agreed
Not to mention the pollution he is creating removing the cats. Dodge made it plenty fast and clean burning from the factory
Dude no one is curious about your front lip 😂😂
I keep getting dreams of me riding this car hopefully in the future I get the chance to ride one only 18yrs old
What kind of oil are you using? How much are you paying for insurance?
Miles don’t mean anything on an engine . As long as you baby it . Such as change the oil on time . Spark plugs etc ! All the basics and that engine will last you a lifetime .
Justin Alvarez cough cough bullshit
And now his going to get pulled over cuz he spoke on it 🤦🏽♂️😭😭
If they catch him
Ok dumb question Rush. What’s the difference in a srt 392 and a r/t 392 scat pack? I’m looking at a widebody scat pack 392 r/t challenger and don’t know the difference if any in the engine.
It's the same engine, but tha SP is lower trim.
Thanks for video, its great car i want to buy Challenger scatpack
