    Bought my Widebody Challenger Scat Pack in Feb. 2020..... I love it. Not too little power and Not to much power. This thing rocks. I love driving it. I use to own a magnum that I had supercharged at Petty's Garage and it had 600 rear wheel HP. I could not take off without spinning tires. I loved it, but it was too much power.

    Awesome car and review. I love my 2016 Scat pack 6 speed manual 392. If I was buying new today, I'd be taking home the widebody 392. Dodge hit a sweet spot here and in some ways I'd rather have it than a Hellcat.

    • @hemiheritage
      @hemiheritage 4 года назад +1

      I think u are right when u say they hit the sweet spot here. Perfectly functional, usuable power for the street. I do like the optional suspensions choices the HC offers out the gate and people seem to love their Hellcats when they trade up, but for me, I'd take a 392 widebody. The widebody flares def do a lot for the challey, but the chargers seem to benefit even more visually by adding the fender flares. Being a 4 door muscle sedan, the widebody adds a ton of aggresion to the exterior of those charger

      I hear ya!! I have a 2015 6 speed scat and I love it. Live in MI so starting in February I start getting really itchy to drive it. February and March are painful months!! Mine is black on black and was in the process of a 426 build by the mechanic I purchased it from. All sorts of performance stuff in it from a 274 comp cam to a 84mm Arrington throttle body, Stainless Steel long tube headers, Hellcat air intakes, resonator delete and more, High Horse Performance did the tune. Haven't dyno'd it yet but I would imagine its producing about 535-540hp. Great car!! I have had this for 3 years and prior to that a 5.7 6 speed and I have never once had a mechanical problem with either of them.

    Little fun fact for you Americans ;) I ve got an Manual 2019 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack WB here in Germany. The Reactions are incredible. This car gets way more attention than cars like Ferraris or McLarens.Thumbs up everywhere and a lot of turning heads. Mustangs are quit common here, also a few Camaros are driving around but Challengers/Chargers are really exotic. Everyone love the sound of that v8( fortunatley i could keep the stock exhaust wich is very loud for German Laws/Hellcats need an quiter (shitty) exhaust for import) especially the deep tone. For those who are interested, the Exhaustvolume was measured at 97 db(A) at 3750 rpm in a distance of 0,5 m. Thats louder for example than a Camaro SS (95db) BMW M6 (93db) c63AMG (93db) Jaguar F-Type R (96 db) MCLaren 600LT(93 db) at the same conditions.
    Im so glad i get one of last American Beautys, until electric cars will kill the Muscle Car era.

    This and the other review you have are undeniable the 2 best reviews of these cars on the internet. The camera and audio work, the canyon carving driving impressions and video of the car being put through it's paces really stands out. I have wanted one of these for years now and in 3 days will be picking up a new to me 2022 wide body 392 in F8 green with the 6 speed and about 3800 miles. Figured enough waiting. The time is now. No electric anything for me. This car is me giving 2 middle fingers up to our insane administration and Mary Barra at GM (and everyone else that has drank the Koolaid). Electric vehicles and climate change in general are such a hoax. Electricity doesn't produce itself. Electric cars are the solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

    • @BrianMakse
      @BrianMakse  Год назад

      Excellent choice. You’re going to love it!
      You know who’s sitting back telling the industry he told them so? Akio Toyoda. Their product strategy speaks for itself and he told the industry that there are many ways to achieve these objectives without running blindly into the EV madness.
      Plus, the market is speaking for itself and EV inventories are climbing. Ms Barra herself shut down their full size EV truck production a couple of weeks ago. Not paused, but shut down.
      There is some sanity on the horizon.

I was a hardcore Mustang guy, but Dodge got this one right. Love everything about it. From the factory exhaust note, the seats, the huge brakes, the manual, the seats, and especially the torque! The car rides great, I’m not worried about the weight, I kinda like it. This is a muscle car. This is the ONLY muscle car out there. Different animal than a Coyote ‘stang.

    I am looking at the 392 or a Hellcat, I think I’ve made my decision and I think it will be the 392 scat pack widebody. I believe it’s enough horsepower at 485. I believe it’s better balanced car than the hellcat. Probably $400 cheaper insurance. I think I’m gonna go put that money on a 392 R/T scat pack widebody special order today. I also was looking at the Corvette and I specked it out at $90,000 the Challenger is specked out at $65k no brainer.

    Took my '16 Scat Pack out for a ride yesterday. Ran out through Anza and Idyllwilde from Temecula. Not many people on the road. Mine is 6spd. Shaker. Believe it or not it's more fun to drive on the back roads than my Demon. If I could give any advice would be when you decide to buy, take your time and order a manual. It's worth the 8 week wait.

    Hey thanks for the excellent video!! I plan to buy one here in Germany and I want to pick it up with the 6 gear shifter too. The automatic in my former 2019 camaro was slow and sluggish in my opinion. Do you know if there is a cylinder deactivation with the shifter model? I still hope this is only for the automatic models (in fact my camaro had it and I hated it ... no way to turn it off). Thanks for your time!

      Thanks, Baron! Glad you enjoyed this one. I don't believe the manual + 6.4 V8 combination has cylinder deactivation, but it's been over a year since I've driven one. I recently tested a Durango SRT with the same engine, but with the automatic, and it did have cylinder deactivation. It work very well at highway speeds and the engagement was very subtle, but appreciated on a long drive.

    I am a new subscriber.
    Could you please do a review of the new S550 Mustang GT with the PP2 package. I almost bought a 2019 Bullitt last year but decided to wait.
    I have short listed the 2020 Bullitt, the PP2 and the 2020 Challenger R/T Scat Pack wide body. All versions in manual transmission of course. What's your opinion of the PP2 vrs the other 2 models?
    Or should I wait and see if Ford might bring back the Mach 1 version on the Mustang for 2021?
    Thanks Brad

      I did an editorial review of the PP2 last year. I loved it. However, unless you're tracking it often, or are going to change the tires straight out of the box, I'd go Bullitt. Wonderful car. You can't go wrong with the Challenger, either, but depends on when you're looking for the muscle car or pony car experience. I couldn't predict what Ford is going to do, GT500 is definitely the pinnacle of this gen. If you're interested, we just dropped a comprehensive GT500 review this morning. Hope that helps.

    I hope you're still watching the comments on this video, so here's the question: having driven the Scat Pack and multiple Hellcat versions of the Challenger, do you have a favorite? Or, maybe more to the point, is the Hellcat worth the extra cost, considering the limit on the shenanigans you can accomplish and not get arrested for on a daily basis? The extra power is pure badassery, but will it make a difference in my day if I can't find an open stretch of highway or lonely, twisty road? I'm going to be putting a widebody Challenger in the garage, but on a daily basis I swap between Scat Pack and Hellcat... I guess it's a good problem to have, but I'm waiting for some sort of sign saying 'This is the car you should choose'. Maybe some of the other readers have driven both as well? Insurance isn't a factor yet, but as my kids get older that might become an issue as well. Thanks for any replies!

    • @ryankrauter746
      @ryankrauter746 4 года назад

      Brian Makse Hey there, thanks for the reply. Definitely the manual for the trans. We have a lot of country roads around here that remind me of the roads in your video. Not tight road courses, but I’m not into top speed runs, either. I am beginning to think that I might enjoy the balanced package of the Scat over the straight line power of the Hellcat. It would be the ‘fun’ car, not a daily driver. I can still get into a lot of trouble with 485 horses. I was settled on the Scat Pack but had moments of doubt. Add to that the twin snorkel hood on the HC is not as appealing to me as the power bulge that reminds me of the 1970 AAR Cuda, so aesthetically the Scat is in the lead as well. Still, I was curious if I’d regret it forever if I didn’t consider the Hellcat. I’ve watched this video countless times and must compliment you in the effort. Sound quality, production, info, etc, are all top notch. Great product!
