4 REASONS why you SHOULD BUY a SCATPACK instead of a HELLCAT!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 дек 2021
- I have owned my 2020 Dodge Challenge Hellcat Widebody for over a year now so I wanted to discuss my thoughts. I also owned my 2017 Dodge Challenger 392 Hemi Scat Pack Shaker for over 2.5 years. Rather than doing a 1 year update on the Hellcat, in today's video I discuss 4 reasons why I think you should buy a Dodge Challenger Scatpack instead of a Dodge Challenger Hellcat. The Hellcat is a phenomenal vehicle but a majority of its advantages over the Scatpack are not useable in day to day traffic. My recommendation (coming from a Hellcat owner) is that you should just go for the Scatpack unless the Hellcat has been your dream car or you've always wanted to own one. The decision to buy a Hellcat is more of an emotional one rather than a rationale one (if that wasn't obvious before).

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 💯
We on the Express way racing not a street
@@kingfancy7317 shyt still wack and still can’t use all the power nigga
@@srtkaye2010 If you take the car to a track or on the highway you can fool. You can’t mod a scat with having major issues or something breaking. Scars are big and slow and there’s plenty of videos on RUclips that agree. A scat owner would kill for a cat. This guy is contradicting himself
@@kingfancy7317 homie I really don’t care. I had my Hellcat for two years and i never used all the power. Sold it and cashed out 20k. Have fun on the highway 💯
I didn't use all the power my Scat Pack had. Cashed it out for a profit when the world went crazy. I'm now driving a GT and saving over $1,000 a month over a Hellcat. There's a reason some people live paycheck to paycheck.
That’s why I love our 2020 R/T it’s simply more practical it’s less powerful but fun to drive and less expensive
My guy dropping nothing but FACTS! Not one lie was told. I agree one hundred percent. I've owned both a scatpack then moved to a hellcat and my insurance would not insure the hellcat so I had to switch insurance companies. It was way more power than I ever needed.
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
Brilliant as always bro! These tips are precious from a Hellcat owner who is so passionate about his vehicle, still he recommends for another trim! Keep up this lovely beast and Merry Christmas :)
Demon 😈 cars different
100% facts here!!! I’ve Had them both, Hellcat and SCAT, and now I drive a 5.7 RT.. I just personally enjoy it so much more for a daily and everyday life. To each their own. Love your ride, Excellent video!!! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
same here...I didnt care to spend that type of money on a car i'll barely get to drive.
@@Theycallmekenney I drive the cat daily. But the scat and 5.7 I would be 100% happy with too. I had a scat for a year now I have had a cat for a year both are great
@@ByIntros if gas keeps rising I’m getting a skateboard lol
@@ByIntros I have a 5.7 I have fun with it I’ve had it for about a year I plan to upgrade to a scat eventually
I'm that guy, you were talking to me. This video was so refreshing when compared to all the stereotypical videos, that just gloss over the actual logistics of owning one of these cars. THANK YOU, for the realistic input. Before I saw this video, in September I opted to go WB SCAT, figuring out on my own everything you just said and was looking for validation of my choice when confronted with he last hurrah HellCat craze. Again thank You. These are the considerations people need to see in the community when making their purchasing decision.
This is a very useful video because I was thinking about moving from RT to a scat pack which I might do. But outside the price of a Hellcat you give us real world experience of owning one. And it puts in exotic car territory. Scatpack is the one for me.
The scat is the happy sweet spot. I made the jump to the WB and haven't regretted it .
@@kobiimpraim4838 good for you man 👍🏼
Excellent points, I bought my 2021 Scat Pack in July and daily drive it, loving every mile!
Did you get it for MSRP? Prices are bad right now.
@@drodriguez1724 If you want MSRP do a custom order. That's what I did.
Bullshit those were 5 of the worst reasons ever
@@drodriguez1724 Yes, I did.
It's my next daily on my list! Hoping to order a new 2022 over the summer.
I absolutely enjoyed this video and was exactly the words of wisdom I needed to hear. I was planning on trading on my scat pack for a trackhawk and do live near a drag strip but Ive gotten multiple compliments from hellcat owners on the sound of my scat pack charger and honestly after hearing everything you said, I'm def keeping her now. Instant sub and like for solid info like this
Trackhawks are completely different if u get one of there there wouldn’t be any regrets
I agree Track hawks are AWD so you would be able to put more power down to the ground than the Hellcats plus you can drive them in the snow/bad weather conditions where as Hellcats you can’t
I’ve driven a regular charger hellcat and my dad now owns a track hawk I gotta say the track hawk is a different beast, power feels matched with the weight of the vehicle and the launches never fail to get you to the edge of the galaxy real fast
@@papilevi1108Trackhawks are what hellcats should be because their AWD. The next gen Charger will be AWD plus electric
What’s your exhaust setup?
The "deciding factor" between Scat and HC was that I wanted the adaptive cruise control (not available on the HC). I do a lot more "touring" than I do "racing" and there are times when you can just set the ACC and enjoy the breeze. Of course there is always a little "HC envy" when one passes you but I love my plum crazy Scat pack WB.
my HC has ACC and FCW not sure if it was added later.
I mess my scat but l love my cat
I have adaptive cruise on my ‘20.
Awesome video and perspective from owning both vehicles. Us ScatPack owners always drool over the HellCats power but don’t realize you can never really put all that power to the street. Keep cranking out the great content, the people need you brotha ✊🏾
Yes you can bro, this is bullshit 😂 I've had my wb charger hellcat for almost 2 years now. First of all the stock 305s do enough ive beat teslas off the line and many tuned cars on rolls, but if youre going with even more power you have to slap on some MTs. Coming from a 392 owner, the hellcat is everything you wished your car was. Not to mention the addicting whining sound, immediately gets everyone wet around you. Most hellcats i run into cant drive for shit or understand how to launch the car so i can see where people relate. But this is all personal opinion and clickbait. Nothing very factual besides the obvious a v8 with over 500hp does
@@Sm0keSh0w it’s a realistic challenge of having so much horsepower to put down so I appreciate the perspective and information. I have 305’s on my Scat and have traction issues depending on the surface. I don’t doubt on a track the MT’s hook great but on the street is a different issue especially here in cold ass Utah. I’ve been racing street cars for 20 years and traction is always an issue. We do all love the power, sound and feel of the Hellcat as I have driven it before but I can understand the points he made in the video. Thanks Henry
@@tbone0316 you just got to know your car and when to take it out. The MTs are nasty on the street. Just need a little warming up n drop some ap. They have a street version of MT as well but i havent tried those. My buddys cat is doing over 850whp with MT he puts all the power down no problem. Sounds like you need to invest in an AMG or M for some of that 4matic
@@Sm0keSh0w I’ll have to give those a look for sure to get the right set up. I’ve already had the BMW 750 and german cars but it’s Dodge for me bro ✊🏾.
I had the money to by a HellCat outright and even my sales guy was advising me to go scat, saying once the novelty of the Cat wears off you'll be looking to step down. The Cat and the other high power trims are not realistic to the casual driver and I have met a handful of people who gave their Cat up after a few years. Seeing how the Cat is leaving soon, I see it as an investment vehicle and show car now and nothing more.
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.
For a 140 Grand and a 1000 HP The Model S Plaid better be fast ! Modify a Challenger Super Stock or New 2022 Redeye Jail Break to a 1000 HP And it will be just as fast as the Plaid !!
try a 05 honda accord. it takes like 4 buisness days to get to 60 so u can have a lot of time to enjoy it before you let off
Not to mention the Tesla just doesn't really move your soul.
@@GB2G Classic
@@GB2G I have one. VTEC baby 😂😂😂😂
I couldn't agree with you more on the points you've made! I recently traded in my Scat Pack, in Hellraisin, for a Redeye and while the Redeye is a blast to drive, the Scat Pack has plenty of power and is truly the sweet spot of the lineup!
You can manage the power in the 392 better than the Hellcat.I personally find the 392,to be the better car,from an all around perspective.Yes the Hellcat is more powerful,but it's not necessarily faster from a 0-60.
Nah
@@gordo55551 Which one do you own?
@@jakoidtonge shid my hellcat is fast does 0-60 in 2-3 seconds
@@Tareaque are you sure you got a hellcat ore do you got a full on demon
Excellent points! I did the same thing, had a ‘15 Hellcat Challenger which I bought on EBay. Gas wasn’t a problem but insurance was! It was fun to drive but I only drove it in the snow free months. And I found the insurance wasn’t worth it for what I drove. Now I own a Scat pack Shaker and love it. There’s plenty of power for the suburbs. Again all good points.
Good perspective. I am with you on your line of thinking I actually think the Scatpack is more fun to drive. Hellcat cost more on all aspects, insurance, fuel, maintenance. It is the pinnacle of the Dodge muscle cars though and so many of us want one as the logical progression. Hope the family is well and wishing you a good holiday season! I, will unfortunately be down in Arizona for work through the second week of January.
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!
Great points! Exactly why I purchased my 2021 Scat Pack Widebody back in May of this year vs a Hellcat. Have about 4800 miles on it so far and it's fantastic and way more power than I need for a daily driver. Of course I have a Ram 2500 for days when it's too wet or icy, otherwise the Scat Pack is a fantastic ride and has more power than I can actually use without losing traction. I don't ever plan to drag with it, so it's perfect for me. Love the channel!
hows gas?
I used to have the same problem when I was in highschool in 1998 driving a 1975 Lincoln that my grandparents gave me (one hub cap , one headlights, front windows wouldn't rolled down) - so yea I know what you mean 😂😂
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.
Love my Scat. Paid $36k daily driven. Declined a hellcat at the time of purchase for all these reasons plus I wanted an N/A. I’ve always had boosted cars and actually wanted an N/A V8 for once in my life. Glad I went that route.
What was your credit score ? At the time of the purchase
@@Rawgooch still currently in the 8s
You convinced me to order a Scat over a Cat! I picked out the F8 Green Wide Body, with a few custom options. Was told roughly 2 months. My wife and I are REALLY excited!!
I have a 2019 Challenger Scat Pack in Destroyer Grey, Love the car and would not think about trading up to a Hellcat. I went from a 2015 Challenger R/T, to the Scat but couldn't justify buying a 700HP car knowing I would probably never be able to really use it and yes the obvious cost difference. I got my Scat for 35K and the Hellcats were 75K-80k slightly used. I agree with everything you said.
Happy New Year Mopar Fam
I totally agree; Got my 2021 Daytona 392 for $41k with 21k miles on it and extended warranty. The power that I have with the few bolt ons I've added leaves me fulfilled. 510 to the crank is more than enough for me and I rarely ever send it
Peace king... I definitely appreciate this video and the information in this video... I have a 2016 SRT392 HEMI! And I get exactly what you're saying! And it makes me feel better about my car after listening to this video...
Personally I love my scat pack. With the horsepower statement I agree with 100%. Unless you racing the vehicle and it gets actually track use is one thing. I think 400-500 hp is completely reasonable for everyday road use for regular people. Also with that range you can still race it and depending on the driver you can beat a 700hp car.
I got a 1980 Cutlass I stuffed a 454 Winnebago pull out in it turbo 350 Transmission turbo 400 torque converter I am yet to meet
Sorry phone cut off I am yet to meet anything that can put down over 200 ft of rubber no brakes line locking is for pussies and I've had guys on Rice rockets breaking the fucking wrist trying to get away from me I have 292 gears in the rear end and it takes off like a rocket welded diff helps but it will still smoke the tires 40 miles an hour or less
It's so nice living in these times where you can see people complaining about too much Hp!!!! I love it. Stay safe thank for the Video. I plan on upgrading from a 15 Rt Challenger.
*NAH! Hellcat Redeye Jailbreak! 807hp, just learn how to feather the throttle upon launch and don't drop the hammer completely until you are moving. Be your own traction control. This is like saying to buy a classic Dodge with the 383 when the most desirable are 440 or 426 hemi. God loves a good burnout.*
Still goin get dusted by Mach 5 though👀
For those with a spare 100k...cause thats everyone you know
Ya u just Chrysler 300 s 2019 and it get to like 60 right away and so I have to slow down and it fells like I just get to 50 55 like right away but it's all wheel drive I needed a all wheel drive for my dad's doctor's appointment and I needed fit a wheel chair Easley I am in Colorado also so gotta have 4 wheel
Best buck for your wallet tho areCharger HELLCAT Daytona's with the widebody kit....best charger in my opinion😍
Best comment i ever seen in my life
Great review, would love to own a Scatpack but with gas nowadays i am sticking to my SXTPLUS for a while. Thanks for the reviews merry Christmas and happy new year's too. 👌
I love the idea of the scat pack, but I liked my 14 SXT dash layout more. Just used to it I guess
@@86twin yea man, don't have to feel guilty if there's a scratch or a ding on it. I mean i still take care of it well l. Love the fact that you can use it as a everyday car and not worrying about gas. THE CAR STILL LOOKS GOOD. I get a lot of thumbs up
I truly love my 2018 Scatpack Charger stp Superbee. It is my everyday driver even in winter. It always puts a smile on my face.
Awesome video I own a 2021 loaded scat pack, widebody, and I am considering moving up because of the power. Thank you for the information. I think I will stick with my very wonderful scat pack, but mine is a six speed. I love a manual transmission. I would like to see a video on a scat pack 392 manual versus an automatic.
I got a scat and I wish I would’ve been able to afford a hellcat. I couldn’t even if I wanted it. Great points though. I’m very happy with a my scat. Merry Xmas.
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.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching! I still enjoy the hellcat very much!
This was a fantastic video👏 very well said on all points. A scatpack is the better bang for ur buck for sure. I own a scatpack and went back and forth on upgrading to a hellcat but I will never be able to use all those horse on it. So scat is the way to go
I just bought a Scat Pack and I considered the Hellcat but in the end I went through the same mental process as you, and decided for Scat Pack. Nice video.
Great choice bro people are out here stealing and killing for those hellcats btw congrats on the new whip 💯💪🏾
And I bet you're loving it!
@@DerickZ28 I am!
Lots of people gets Hellcats just to say they have one. I debated on getting one at one point but I decided to get my Scatpack Widebody and I must say it’s a very fun car to drive
This is very good video, thank you. I was just thinking about getting a Hellcat but I have changed my mind because I live in Baltimore, and the DMV is a busy traffic area.
Hi Schwayz, Happy Holidays. I agree, that is why I love my WB Scatpack Shaker, not too much, no too little, just the perfect combo. :)
Thanks so much for this video and the things you said, cuz it feels good to know that I am not the ONLY one who feels that way!
Thanks for the content bro!
I traded my scat for a cat. I feel like if you’re scared of the power simply use the black key. Knowing I have the power rather I use it or not is the reason I bought my Hellcat
Where are you going to use it? You can't use it anywhere on the street, including highways.
@@thullraven1 you’re giving me police vibes. It gets used on highways. You should buy a scooter
@@Skkrt_skrrt707 Always has to be someone like you making an attacking comment for no reason. I have a scooter that I use in the park. I live in a large metro area with constant traffic. There isn't a highway here where I can use all the power of a Hellcat at any point. It's just not possible here.
@@thullraven1 lmao theres plenty of places to max a charger
@@beto_lsx497 Not a Hellcat with over 700 hp there isn't. Not on crowded highways. Maybe it's different where you are, but it's not possible on highways by me. If anyone attempts it, it is both a stupid move, and a criminal one. It will DEFINITELY result in jailtime.
Great video, honest review, good job !
Thanks !
I have a 2018 Scatpack Charger. Point #3 is a very underrated reason. A Scatpack is a bit more versatile and seems more practical as a daily driver. I’m already very concerned with keeping my car clean; I can’t imagine dealing with rock chips on a Hellcat. Excellent video.
Wouldn't worry about the chips but I feel you. These chumps out here are so thirsty they just want a hellcat my 2019 looked like a shot gun hit the front end and I didn't lose much when I sold it.
Got rid of it because these fools will blow your head off to take it.
Great video, I was literally on the fence about this. Thanks algo lol.
That’s it I’m getting a Scat Pack , thanks bro .
I just bought a brand new Scat. LOVE IT! But I have entertained the thought of owning a HC. Not gonna happen. Your points were honest and true. Thanx for the vid.
I jus bought a scat pack..I love it..the hellcat would have been nice but I think the scat is the sweet spot.. Just enough power to put a smile on your face an not pay hellcat prices..nice video brother
My man! This guy is awesome! Love the truth!!! Excellent video!
You really made a lot of great points... I enjoyed your viewpoint
Thank you so much, great video and I have a 2020 392 challenger. I do agree with you.
Great video my man! But you will never convince me to get a Scat Pack over a Hellcat..,,, I want to be just like you have and have a Hellcat , you even have my favorite color!! Your car is fire bro!!!
Good video bro. I'm a ScatPack owner (Shaker hood & Sunroof). Don't see a many at all of this package in LA, SOCal area. But, my Ride has plenty enough power for me. It's nothing on a highway to burn someone real quick than laugh as they finally catch-up and pass me up. The engine stock sound is nice and beefy. 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. She is my baby, I recently got it appraised a few times, and can nearly $15k over what I owe on it. But, I really like my Ride. Her and I get along very well ☺️💪🏻💯
Although I have the 14 SXT, I like that I don’t see too many of them in Header Orange with the chrome wheels stock.
Amazing list! Made a lot of great points!
Thank you for checking it out man!
Outstanding analysis here bro. Thank you. 💯 facts here.
Great video bro keep up the great work. Car looks amazing in the snow especially that color looks awesome 👏🏾 can’t wait to see it in person .. Happy Holiday bro God Bless
Right back at you my man! Thank you for watching!
@@SchwayZ yup no problem.
I totally agree. I wish i had driven one before i bought the Hellcat. Not as much fun as i thought. Scary and a blast but it becomes boring. I got rid of mine because the brakes are $4 grand to replace just rotors and pads. That’s insane. So i sold mine for a handsome profit after i drove it for a year. Glad i bought it and even happier i sold it. Kind of like a boat.
I was considering a HellCat over a Mint Condition Old School! Thanks for the video. I’m keep my Scat and get my Old School K5 restored! Great Content!
Totally agree with your points. I would love a Hellcat, but my Scat Pack is a blast to drive. Especially with the 6 speed manual. Great video
I feel the same way. I have a 2015 RT with 70k miles that I just paid off… I would like to trade/sell it and upgrade in the next year or so to a bigger Challenger and after watching the video and seeing these comments I’m thinking Scat Pack is the way to go.
Sorry guys...had a scatpack before...last year decided to buy a hellcat REDEYE...its the best best i ever experienced...i always thought they felt the same...they dont...pair that with the fast 9 gear auto...plus, WIDEBODY!!🔥
I refuse to buy a muscle car in a automatic.
@@terrelmaz8424 that is your pinion and I respect that. My buddy has a bone stock 1320 and runs 11.3 in 1/4 mile. The redeye barely barely beating it. A true race would be 2 people manually changing gears. In a automatic the car is doing all the work.
@@lmjames33 exactly!!...the cars knows what to do...its gonna make sure it gives you what you want, when you want it...no time for no clutching😂🙆♂️...i bet the redeye was stock and the 1320 wasnt...
Great video. My Scat Pack looks almost just like your Hellcat. I have a '21 Scat Widebody\Shaker in Hellraisin, with the same rims and spoiler as your Hellcat.
You're doing good brother! Current average in the Hellraiser is 12 mpg. Lol. Great video man!
I appreciate this video. I had a 2019 narrow tire Scat and now a 2020 widebody Scat. I've seen two Cats at a dealership and one was a Redeye. Both were twice as much as my Scats, but I'm curious just like everyone else. A salesman told me his opinion was the Scat is the better buy and that you'd have to really get into the Cat to see the difference and it's not worth the expense considering the few times that you'll get the chance to do this. This video confirms it. There's a big difference between the narrow body's and the widebody's ride. The widebody is way more comfortable.
GREAT video bro!!! Hope you had an AWESOME Holiday too!!!!
Appreciate that man! Hope you had a great holiday as well!
thank you for talking me off the cliff lol. Ill hold on to my WB Scat for now 🙌🏽 subbed
I've made my decision in trading in my sxt for a scatpack today.. Hopefully it turns out well 😸 If I could afford a Hellcat, they are beautiful as hell though. Great video bro!
I hope you get it man 💪🏿💯 let us know a update
I just bought a 1320 about 2 months ago.. it's nice..
You will love the scatpack.I had a 50th anniversary scatpack widebody shipped across the pond last May.Brilliant driving machine,485hp is ample in real world driving.
Enjoy.👌
My 2019 Charger Hellcat was stolen Dec 5th and I'll never own another. Went back to a Scat Pack. Just as much fun to drive with way less worries.
The amount times I hear about chargers and challengers being stolen makes me not even want to own one until dodge upgrade their security.
@@blockingcircle3 It seems Dodge is no hurry to find a solution to all this theft, they know most of us will buy another so win, win for them.
This video was really informative
Hey Bro you Definitely know what you're talking about and I agree with everything you said I had a 5.7 R/T SHAKER & if everything goes according to plan a SCAT PACK will be in my future!🤞What is that Hellcat color in the video? I LOVE it! I had PLUM CRAZY PURPLE! & IS that color a metal flake? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND USEFUL INFORMATION ABOUT THIS AND ALL YOUR OTHER VIDEOS I HAVE SEEN YOU DO IN THE PAST! YOU ARE VERY INFORMATIVE ABOUT THE THINGS YOU TALK ABOUT!!! THUMBS UP TO YOU MY FRIEND!!!👍👌
Appreciate that man! Thank you for checking out my videos! The color of my car is Hellraisin. It's like a plum crazy but more of a darker purple
I just bought a new scat pack in February and it is by far the coolest car I have ever owned. I have wanted a Challenger for years and the Scat Pack was the highest trim level I could afford. All the things mentioned in this video makes sense to me and I really love my Scat Pack but I would still kind of like to get a Hellcat. Its a dream car, what can I say.
This video did numbers on your channel 🚀🚀💯 good video
Hellcat is awesome. Scatpack is also awesome and more practical. It's also way cheaper. Love my charger scatpack. It's awesome. Never had a car like this. 485 HP. Haven't had any issues with it. It's a 2023.
Great points.
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!
Brad this video is really good. Not sure how I missed this one. Question, do you miss the Redeye? Love the content brother! 😎🤙
So I only had the scatpack and now ive had the hellcat for about 2.5 years. I still miss the scatpack a little bit because it was super daily driveable
I’ve had both and tend to agree. I just can never settle. I like excess looking toward the ct5 v blackwing!
Merry Christmas! 🙂 Awesome content love it!
Right back at you! Thank you for watching!
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?
Great Video!!! That why me & the wife got two 392's... We are so blessed to have both cars!!!!!!!
Thanks man I’ve watched a few of ur vids. Subd
Thanks for the sub!
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.
I went for the 2021 scat pack r/t 1320 amazing ride with all the demon performance features minus the super charger
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
true and I can relate to the logic. A 1000 cc motorcycle / sport bike is the same with regards to being just too fast for public road use...But I still ride one and I am looking at Scat Pak 392 vs. Hellcat. In the end it's the rush of power/acceleration that we love to feel. Good advise.Good video.
Already took your advice... bought a scatpack last week.
@Father kamp I live in Phoenix so I'm not sure about the car in winter conditions but the widebody won't let you down. The traction on the scatpack widebody is amazing.
I'm the same way with my 2020 Charger Scat Widebody. I've had it for 1 year and 4 months. Ordered it in July 2020 and took delivery in August and it still only has 6100 miles. I PPF'd the full front and ceramic coated the entire car. I'm constantly worried about shit or other people fucking my car up.
You have convinced me to go for Scat Pack than Hellcat
Thank you for sharing experience 👍🏽
Dont do it this guy making the hellcat seem scary it's not even true hellcat needs more power
You will end up wating to mod the scat pack and make it unreliable
@@gordo55551 How long before one wanting to mod the ScatPack. I had mine since June 2021 I haven’t had the urge of wanting to mod it thus far. Thanks
Honestly a good driver wont have problems seen plenty of hellcats that hook up fine
Yeah this video is horseshit.
Great tips! Thanks!
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.
BEST REVIEW EVER..NO CAP 🧢💯
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!
My redeye spins at 70-80 mph, its no big deal. Traction control shuts down the power immediately. With TC off, you better be paying attention.
Really Great Video
Great Review! 100 percent .
Agreed. The Widebody Challenger R/T Scat Pack is a blast to drive. 485hp stock so you can easily get to 500hp which you can control.
Yes the Hellcat, Demon etc are awesome rides but traction is an issue.
No u can't. U need to do alot of reforming to squeeze more reliable power out of the 392 since it's been maxed out from factory
@@blackice7408 a tune and long tube headers will get you over the 500hp mark easily. Maybe even just one or the other tbh
@@billleavy5167 u can get even more if u buy the 392 hemi crate that features direct injection. It's rated at 526 hp and 515 tq stock
@@billleavy5167 maybe not quite 500 to the wheels though. I heard these do dyno at about 450whp stock so it shouldn’t be too hard to get 50hp with a Couple bolt ons and tune but just headers I don’t think so
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
I still want the hellcat 😂 I don’t plan on racing but it’s still nice knowing I have that power. I live in the country though so I don’t have the traffic issues. I wish I would’ve gotten a redeye wide body when this dealership offered it to me brand new 67k before the “pandemic”
Exactly the hellcat sounds more fun 😂
I'm a Scatpack owner. Thank you for this video!
thanks for the info!
True story. I've driven both and came home with a Scatpack
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 😅.
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
I love spinning but that's just me
@@jizzyjake6783 i feel you! Lol!
@@jizzyjake6783 me too but i think he gets tired of spinning all the time
There will be plenty of these cars available for the foreseeable future you just have to find one that ain't chewed up. These cars are nice but they are fragile. Good luck.
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
It's not going to be tamer man. Signed Daytona 392 owner.
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.
Well said 🙌🏽
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 ;)
