Do you REALLY need a Charger Hellcat or is a Charger ScatPack 392 enough??? Lets have a serious discussion about this.. (MUST WATCH)... IS a scatoack enough power for you or do you really need more? A scatpack is putting down over 485HP while a hellcat is putting down 707HP, but the price of these cars can cause issue's for the average consumer... (MUST WATCH)...

I started out with a 16 Hellcat 5 years ago. Sold it to get a 21 Widebody Redeye last year. I work too hard to settle for less. I’m happy with my choice and I’m sticking with it.
I wish everybody think the way we do. If you work hard go for it. I'm not living in no regrets
AMEN! NEVER SETTLE FOR LESS.
Working hard for a car isn't the ticket. It only keep you in the same place. People with real money do not work hard for material things.
@@talkditingsdem5799 what’s real money ? Either you have it or you don’t .
You made a great decision!
The jailbreaks I have heard reliability issues because they are brand new and I heard hellcats and Hellcat Redeyes are beating jailbreaks on the road!
The SCATPACK is the most popular because it makes the most sense in terms of affordability and pretty much round that HP @ 500 ponies which is the perfect recipe for street and HWY. I have a WBSP “SMOKE SHOW” 2020 Looks just like 2022 no different then the 23’s other then STICKERS! When I’m driving to my house in Palm Springs, ca I get nothing but thumbs up👍🏾Hellcat, sure would be nice but for an extra $25-30 G’s these days I would save your money SCATPACK has enough power⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️Hold on to it because it’s about to get CRAZY if you have one✌🏾
I'm in Boca Raton.. how far are you from here? I have a wb scat too and I was thinking about trading for a hellcat but I'm not sure. If you around it would be cool to meet
Coming from a Dodge dealer automotive technician, I have driven all kinds of Chargers and Challengers. I bought a 16 scat brand new for the value. I feel like scatpacks will hold their value more than any other trim level offered. If I went to the track and had money to waste then the hellcat is the better choice. If I was going to rack up the miles, then overall cost is more important (v6 or 5.7 hemi is best). The scatpack is in the "goldilocks zone" that can relate to everyone.
As someone that went from 16’ SRT charger to 18’ Hellcat.. worth every mf DIME. The sheer enjoyment of the drive is 100X… I’ve had mine 4yrs… still gives me the shakes and at times I’m contemplating more HP.. I make the payment with a smile on my face… there are things you can do in the 🐈 that you just can’t do in the scats. Only down slide.. I’m force to drive around with a AR in the passenger seat.
Don't say that man...just tell me it's the same as the scat...😅
WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY BRO it's the best car I've ever had but I will be purchasing a piece soon myself, but the whine is sick and so much better than scat and if I wanted a scat I'd just throw it into eco mode
God bless amurica brother😂
Lol exactly 💯 🤣
Lol how much gas you spend in a month? I'm at 70 a week in my scat so I can just imagine what you spend
Perfectly happy with my T/A 392....I still have that Hellcat itch though. It's tough.
As well you should be. Plus I always turn my head when I hear a car like yours coming down the block.
Hellcat Redeye charger 💯👍
Right here with ya brotha!!!
I agree with you bro but to be honest that 392 power is good enough for me bro. Most people will not even use that 392 power bro. you know what I mean. why would you spend a extra 25-30 thousand just to say you have a Hellcat and not even use the power. Unless you on the track bro, you not using that power for the money.
You car still fire and it’s fast
Not gonna lie you made me feel happy to own a Scat…. Before seeing this video I felt like at some point I needed to reach the upper echelon (Hellcat) to become a ninja master…
Your car is my dream on wheels lol.
@@killerb5305 😂 that’s what’s up 💪🏽💪🏽
😂
You work for your shit, take pride in that my boy. I’m happy with my widebody scat.
@@kingyordens364 💯💯
I personally think having a Hellcat is about status especially if you never go to the track or do any type of racing. My Scat gets away from me occasionally and reminds me that I'm good right where I'm at 🤣🤣🤣. But do whatever makes you happy and buy what you can afford; don't forget to include the maintenance and upkeep fees because that premium fuel is a bitch sometimes.
I’ve had a v6 5.7 6.4 and a redeye. A person can have fun in a 5.7 to be honest but it feels far different in a scat. Same from a scat to a cat. If I never had a cat I’d be satisfied with a scat but after having a cat it’s hard to go back on power and I guess that’s because I actually use all the power. You notice the difference even if you ain’t using all the power. I agree you can be happy with a scat tho it’s more then enough power for most.
💯💯💯💯
I certainly wanted a hellcat for the experience but also because I don’t see it as often as a Scat. The gas is real. I just put $109 in my tank. I’m in Cali 😂
Tires at 50% or less on a scatpack can get sketchy. I'm with you. Love my 2020 ScatPack.
Right. Regular over here is $3.59 and prem is $4.89 💀
Perfectly happy with my fully loaded 2021 Wide body Scat!!💨💨 392 is that Sweet Spot 😁
Its based on what you can afford, I have a cat and very happy,. Its all relative bro and how much power you can control
Hellcat owner here. For me it came down to the fact that I figured I’d never be able to get a new hellcat if I didn’t get it now. So I ordered a 2022. But I think if I got a Scat, I would have been plenty happy with it because it’s a great car. I have to say the Laguna leather, supercharger whine, and extra punch made it worth it for me.
Happy with my scat ! Been having it going on 3 years & enjoy every second of it . I rarely drive it due to work but my goodness when you drive it again .. those cold starts .. the freshness .. it doesn’t get old at all . Who wouldn’t love a hellcat ? But as long as I have enough ponies to haul my family around & the groceries who’s complaining 🤷🏾♂️
I’ve had a ‘12 SRT (bought new) auto Challenger and got HC fever in ‘17 plus I wanted a stick. I got one and only kept it about a year. It wasn’t just the cost of the car, the insurance was 34% higher and (I like to do my oil changes) it was even harder to do my own maintenance (the oil cooler needed draining too). I now have a ‘21 Scat Widebody stick. It’s the perfect car. I’m not going to drag race or take it to any other race track. It’s plenty fast for normal street use. Sounds great too (I don’t miss the supercharger whine). I really love it and I’m keeping it.🥂
Back in April I ordered and recently received a 22 dodge challenger RT scat pack widebody the color I chose was called go mango, with a shaker. I thought about buying a hellcat but later decided that the scat pack had more usable power lower price lower price to ensure and almost $25,000 cheaper. The scat pack has everything I could ever want. I plan on standing pat and enjoying my scat pack to the fullest.
Super happy with my Scat. I've always rocked civics and 2nd gen Durangos. I custom ordered both my 21 Scat and 21 Rango SRT with all the bells and whistles. Extremely happy with both 💯
The real question should be “What’s the cost of OWNERSHIP! In 3/21 I bought a 2018 Durango R/T Brass Monkey. I wanted a 392 Durango but the price of routine maintenance was the deal breaker for me. I’m happy with my decision. From a dig, on the streets, there’s not much beating me off the line in a 30 MPH zone stop light to stop light lol! That’s my world.
Thats completely true... I just did rear brakes on my Durango at 17,500 and it was $1300. Tires made it to 15K and that was $2600 just a few months back. Maintenance can absolutely crush people if they didn't plan for it.
This is what nobody talks about the maintence for those higher trims is absolutely insane, those tires aren't cheap, neither are the brakes, rotors, insurance, gas most people just want to flex lol I almost got a SRT Jeep until the dealer explained to me how much all the maintenance was lol
Just got my 2022 charger Hellcat few days ago . And I absolutely love this beast 🔥
I am no dodge fan but I feel like most of the dodge community don’t mind any charger or challenger as long as there is a V8
I am a ford guy, of course by now everyone knows that there is a possibility of a GT500 coming (later), I don’t mind the big engine but the dark horse (to me at least) with 500HP+ is plenty enough (I know I went off topic)
I’m a Ford Guy as well. I did not jump on a Hellcat because of the insane mark-ups on a car that hasn’t been updated (interior) since 2015! F-That! I am looking forward to the NEW Shelby GT500 in 2026!
I purchased a wbsp in July thinking my 22 hellcat order wouldn’t come , it arrived 3 weeks ago and I must say the scat pack is definitely a enjoyable , affordable great car , but the hellcat whine , and power and wow factor is worth every penny especially with the supercharger going out of production next year , I turn heads everywhere while driving , it’s also more of an investment for me, the return on these cars in good condition in 5-10 yrs will be crazy
I recently custom ordered my 2022 Charger Scat Pack back in August, should be here early next year with the shipping overseas. But this is my first ever Dodge product, never even driven a Charger V8 before in my life and I knew from the jump I wanted a 392 Scat. I’m coming from boosted 4 cylinder Evos, STi’s, Genesis Coupes and so forth. Yes I looked at the Hellcats, not gonna lie, but my heart was saying get the Scat, get the Scat and so I did. I’m more than happy with my Scat 392 purchase without ever sitting in or even driving a big Dodge V8 before!
It depends where you live, what you can afford, and if you need the power under your foot. I test drove a 2022 charger GT followed shortly after by an RT. The power of the GT felt similar to that of my dad's 2014 Nissan Sentra SR, obviously it got up to speed faster and just felt overall like a nicer car, but the RT was in a different league to me. I don't know how it feels to drive a Scat or a Cat, but I personally feel like an RT is just right for me.
Fo sho...I've had both...that same thrust you feel at the rt at 20 mph....can't be felt at 50mph with the scat...better gas on the rt though 👍
Don't drive a Scat or you will want one because of what you're "missing" out on. RT still gives you that sweet V8 power with over 300HP which is plenty to have fun with. Also gas is a lot cheaper than a Scat! I'm going RT or Scat Cats out the picture lol
I went from a stock 04 ram diesel to 22 redeye charger. Talk about a huge difference in power! From a slow-tug beast to a whoop ass monster 💪😎
Great video In 4 years I went from an sxt to an rt. 2 weeks ago I bought a 392 scat and I can honestly say this is the perfect car for me the hellcat if just to much $$$ for me.
Had a 2015 Challenger r/t, got a 2019 Challenger Scat (Destroyer Grey) in 2020. Love the car and more then enough power to have fun and not bleed me dry at the pump. Can't justify having a Hellcat as I would probably not get a chance to take it to the track. Be Safe out there guys and gals.
I just bought a 2021 challenger RT and i absolutely love it! Thats all i need.
I came from a 2006 Saturn Ion that I took excellent care of and that care seriously treated me well in the 3 years I had it now I have scatpack fully loaded narrow body that was about 61k after the wide bodies are ugly to me regardless people should not hate on anyone getting a v6 we all start somewhere ! Love eachother as mopar brothers
Got my 2012 charger rt and so far I’m loving the power. I’ll probably upgrade to a scat later on but the power of an rt is enough for me. Plus I really dig the older style of the chargers when they look more aggressive, the new style looks too simplistic so I’m glad I went for something different when you see modern chargers everywhere
I'd keep the R/T and mod the hell out of it. 5.7 engine is very flexible and customizable. I'd only upgrade to a Scat if you're afraid to mod and don't want to void warranties.
it's cool! Had a 17k mile phantom black Rt plus 6 spd with the radar red leather insert. Looked better than my Srt 6spd. The first version Challenger 08, etc looks better than all of them. The Rt is a very easy model to live with. Perfect every day balance.
RT owner here. I personally done feel the need to have a scat pack or a hellcat. Realistically, you’re not using all of that power on the street. RT sounds great, looks good, and performs well. No need for scat or hellcat IMO. You REALISTICALLY don’t need it whether you really convince yourself that you do.
I have both. Love them both. Scat pack is all you need. Plenty of power
I love all your contents brother. 👍 keep up the good work! I am not an American car type guy I always had Europeans car I’ve had Hondas and Toyo’s but I gotta give thumps up 👍 on Dodge for making a great muscle with lots of HRP which at the meanwhile the market is at markup with the prices on Scat Pack is ridiculous. I can’t wait to grab a ScatPack for next year it all depends it the markup price drops down then I’ll be grabbing a 2022 ScatPack widebody.
Very good discussion. The Scat vs Cat debate is very interesting to me, since I own a Coyote mustang and am debating to get a supercharger or leave it NA adding bolt ons and shakerhood for the ultimate street cruiser.
99% of my driving is on streets, so NA I can still wind up the engine. But once there is a SC, I may have to drive more boring to not wrap around trees in my rainy environment. On the other hand, 550 torque at 3000rpm might be more fun even cruising.
I'm a new subscriber I like watching people go fast also I like watching mustang videos also I push the notification so I could get all of the video notifications be safe out there man and God bless America USA 🇺🇸🙏
Went from a 99 Tahoe to a 14 Rt road and track. Almost 432hp to the wheels with my mods. Sooo in happy
Big Facts @knockout 360!!! Awesome points made bro.
I test drove a Scat before the Hellcat I bought. When I test-drove the Hellcat there was no question about which one I wanted.
I have had powerful-built cars before. The drawback to building your own is if it breaks or you have problems with it its on you to fix it if you dont know a good tuner/mechanic. If I have problems with the Hellcat I can just take it to just about any dealer to fix it.
Perfectly happy with my loaded 2021 Wide body Scat Pack!! Smoke Show. Had 19 charger r/t.
I am super happy, thankful and blessed to own a ScatPack Widebody Shaker (50th Ann/Limited Edition). This is my dream car, and I am planning on keeping it for the long term until my son graduates form high school...LOL. He is only 2 years old now but my promise to him is f he graduates from college, he would be able to keep it, god willing. :)
Happy with my 2022 Widebody Charger and I came a long way from a SXT🙌🏾💪🏾💪🏾
I have a 16 B5 Blue Scat Pack and I'm so happy with it. I get so many compliments and thumbs 👍 up on the road. I pickup my daughter from school and all the kids are like WOW I love your car. I can't justify the price for a Hell Cat, don't get me wrong if you gave to me for free I'll take it. But I love my Scatty
I have 2019 scat charger i got back in june and I'm absolutely satisfied. Yes i over paid but thats the cheapest one i could find. The power on tap is absolutely insane. Everyday I daily it to work and it behaves as I want it to! I can chill or I can fly, I can rip it or I can burn it up. I don't feel intimidated by hellcats because they honestly look afraid of there cars like its to much. I also have a 2013 Zx14r that i dont ride at all becuase 98% of stuff on the road is not a match for my stock 1400cc beast so i understand how hellcat owners feel. The most thing I'm debating on the scat is tune or not and wheels.
I just took it to Mississippi and turned heads in my lil town. I got 28 mpg doing 65 and about 25 doing 70mph. The 4 cylinder mode works less efficiently closer you get to 80 mph. Smooth ride all the way. Spent $65 on gas both ways 440 miles. Trip ended back in dallas with 1000 miles. No issues no ticks still ready to go. Love it no regrets. Payments (premium with tire warranty and 150% gap all that stuff) with statefarm full coverage insurance is about $900 monthly. Still full manufactory warranty till 60k . Man it's my baby and I gladly pay that.
i really like the scatpacks but went with a hellcat because of the internals , supposedly the valve train is susceptible to lifter tick aka hemi tick but the engines built for boost have better quality parts that aren't prone to lifter problems etc
I have a 2017 Challenger Scat Pack Shaker slim body. It's got all the options except the wide body. 12000 miles. I love that car. Old School muscle!
i came from a 2016 Lexus Rx 350 with a 3.6 285 hp awd suv and now i have a used ‘20 WB Scat Charger with ~7000 i’m still learning how to control the power but it’s been a hella of a ride 😁
I started with a 18’ charger scat pack for 2 years and moved to a 16’ charger hellcat that I’ve had for 1 year now. The hellcat is a completely different animal like night and day difference to me. Is it worth it? Depends on what your doing with your car and what you expect out of it. I drag race all of my cars so that makes a big difference.
I needed this video i just got my scat for a third time and was thinking of giving it back for a rt bcus its a manual but after seeing this video ik i would regret it for the third time so im keeping it now
Its opposite for me. Everyone is asking me about the Cats, less the Scats. But you live with yours, day to day so youre a good source of info, beyond some review channel that goes to car to car
I can't say what anyone else needs. If you can afford an HC, want one and can find one (!), then get one. I just purchased a '21 Charger SP WB. I love this thing. 485 HP is difficult enough to keep out a ditch or from around a tree...for me anyway.
I’m satisfied with my Daytona 392… if I decide to get a HC in the future I might get the TRX
I'm completely satisfied with my fully loaded Frostbite Blue 💙 2021 Narrow body Scatpack Charger! That N.A 485HP Monster is ferocious and can be made an all out beast with a $4k Supertune! Also, when Dodge pulls the plug on the V8 in the very near future, the Scat with it's naturally aspirated V8 will hold much more value than the hellcat's supercharged V8! Can't wait till 2024! My Scat will be on the highest demand...
💪🏿💯✌🏿
My boy 360 I have a 2022 scat pack just bought it a month ago, today while heading home two 5.0 mustangs were bullying me, when I pressed the accelerator I left them eating dust. I love my scat and I will never sell it for a hellcat. That deeper sound from my scat is unique tho.
I'm happy with my 2021 widebody scatpack. I'm in Miami and use it as a daily driver and the power is enough for me. I know 2 guys that had a hellcat and sold them for scats because it was just to say they had one. I never even get over 100mph anyway so mine mostly for the looks. Fully loaded smoke show with red interior hellcat wheels, sunroof and technology package with Harmon Kardon so I'm good
I started with a 2017 RT the only reason I went up cause ppl would get next to me and wanna race and I was very disappointed in my RT so i got a 2019 scat pack srt and that wasn’t enough so now I got a wide body cat and still have my RT with a 780 credit score 💪🏽
I have a 19 R/T Challenger, I live in the city, Muffler Delete, and a few exterior mods… I get PLENTY compliments.. Sounds damn good. And plus From Light To Light A Scat Will Not Get Away From Me 😂 so I’m Satisfied
I have a Daytona 392 tuned. Long tubes. Magnaflow x mod exhaust high flow cats sounds wonderful. 500 to wheels right now and happy right know
Scatpacks are fun but for most of us the power got old quickly. The moment i test drove a hellcat i knew i was getting one & i got 1 within a month. The upgrade was worth it 100000000% lol no regrets at all. Came from a widebody scatpack to a 19 regular body hellcat with great amount of options & it came with very low miles 1.8k. At the end of the day get what you want & can afford. & for the record the scatpack is more popular & sought-after because of affordability. Not the case for everybody but for most yes thats the case.
More food for thought. I have a 2020 dodge charger R/T so it has the same looks as the scat. Sticker was 37K back then. Base model. Spent about 8K in engine mods, including racing cam headers, etc. It’s at 462 wheel horsepower so around 550 at the crank. Which is more than a scat. Don’t count out the R/T if you are opening to modding 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
i live in Canada. i have a 2020 challenger gt AWD. im hesitant to upgrade and get my shaker widebody before they are no longer available. my issue is the loss of AWD for Canadian weather. if i do get the 392 it will be my daily. which is why im also thinking about the 392 AWD Durango with the 5.0 u connect and upgraded interior. but then i might kick my self for not getting the challenger while they were in production. especially listening to some old guy talking about how they could have gotten one way back when but didn't.
when it comes to hellcats vs scats even if i was making 200k a year i would still go for the scat bc of the looks with the shaker something you cant get with the hellcats. Personal preference
Thank you for this video KO360... real truth
I literally made a Facebook post last night saying how I changed my mind about wanting a Cat because I’m so satisfied with my scat💯
On my 2nd Challenger right now. Had a 2020 Blacktop GT (upgraded from a 2013 SXT Charger) then traded the GT for my 2021 Manual Slimbody Scatpack. Unfortunately, I did it when the price was at its peak earlier this year for $64k. Just to see what the price was going for I went to a BMW dealership and I was offered $50k. Considering how FOMO is setting in for a lot of folks I’m most likely gonna keep it and see if the value increases within the next 5-10 years.
Performance wise, I wish I had just a little more power in my 3rd and 4th gear but I’m not disappointed. I’m sure with a few mods I can up my HP. Adding an aftermarket wide body kit, 305s, intake, larger throttle body, and if I’m really attempting to compete with the Hellcats I’m considering forged internals and supercharger on my 6.4L. Of course these things won’t be all at once but I believe this is a good entry point. You won’t be the fastest on the road but you definitely won’t be the slowest. It’s an affordable, realistic muscle car with tons of potential.
I got a stage 2 kit scat and i got 512hp to the wheels. Pretty much 100hp faster than a stock scat. Only paid $6700 to get it done too. And i bought my scat last year for 43k otd. I highly recommend anybody who has a scat to get headers and a cam. Youll really wake up that beast.
Came from a rt to a hellcat its definitely worth it why wait so long to get some scat got my hellcat ordered 2022 def worth it
Love my shaker 6 speed ScatPack Challenger. Dynamics package. Frostbite. My dream car, makes me smile every single time I drive...
Be happy with your SXT Challenger. It's more reliable and it won't get stolen. Get better gas mileage. Less trouble of all sorts from mechanicals to criminals.😁. It's still a faster and more comfortable riding Challenger in comparison to 1970 Challenger. It costs the least of all Challenger models today in 2022 especially the V8's that are getting stolen left and right.😱🥺
I got a 2019 challenger scat pack this year for 32k after my trade in and it only had 18k miles on it. It was a great deal and I didn’t want to pass it up but I really wanted a widebody hellcat. After a couple months I was used to the power. But who knows maybe after this direct connection thing comes out it’ll be like buying a whole new car again
I have a 2021 Charger Scat. I also had a R/T and a 2008 Charger SRT. Unfortunately, I think the Hellcat became a trend. Which caused everyone to go get one just because everybody else was getting one...lol. Half these people actually can't really afford them. I owned a 2008 Charger SRT when nobody was driving these cars like they are today. One rapper puts a Hellcat in their video and now everyone wants one...lol. I think the Scat is plenty but that's just me.
Yup, started off with a 2017 Hellcat and then traded up to the 2020 wide body Hellcat. Love it
I was perfectly happy in my '19 Charger Scat 6.4, but the opportunity to get a Hellcat that was the SAME car I had presented itself. I sold my car at 2.5 years old, with 44k on the odo for the SAME price I paid brand new for it. And at this point the Car Fax said it had moderate body damage repaired. My Cat is an 18, same color, same interior, same sound, same wheels. It had 21k on the odo. 100% perfect, no wrecks, still on stock tires. Got it for 50k. In 10 years it will be worth more than my Scat Pack would ever be. But I did buy Scat new and Cat used. So thats a difference.
I went for my 2015 Cadillac Escalade to a 2019 challenger scat pack shaker never been a big fan of muscle cars until I own one now I love it Wouldn’t drive anything else now
I started with a SXT and now have a 392 . I love my scat but who wouldn't love a hellcat ! I would take one lol
Always wanted a scat but ended up with an R/T and I’m actually satisfied with that specially with the prices They going for and me lucking into a low mileage good priced loaded rt just enough power and some room to play if I get that itch.
Much smarter just to keep your2019-2023 scats, and upgrade them eventually with the stage kits from mopar. Damn near hellcat power, for less than 1/4 the cost than it would be to upgrade to a hellcat. Sounds like a win to me.
I was a old school mopar guy for years had no interest in the new stuff cause I thought the electronic nanny’s ruined the new stuff. Test drove a scat pack against my better judgment and couldn’t believe the power and responsiveness. Changed my opinion, had the money at the time to get a hellcat so I went that route, love it creepin up on 10 sec 1/4 and get 20+ MPG on freeway! But scat packs are plenty enough to have fun. Even the R/T’s sound good and will light up the tires no problem.
This video keeps me thinking of a lot of things. The Hellcat is the ultimate Dodge. But on the streets I still come up with it's to much power for everyday driving. I can't make any sense out of it other than I would love to own one. Its the best of the best in terms of suspension, engine and interior quality. It's not much different than the Scat pack except the suspension , well the wide body has the adaptive suspension so there's that. If I where to land a Hellcat, it would take the place of my Scat Pack. It would live in the garage , get detailed and go tot he drag strip a few times a year. I probably would take it to shows, but that makes me a little nervous as people tend to touch the cars, I'm all out of anyone touching my car. I think if I did get a Hellcat, I probably would get a Challenger . The Charger is the overall better car . The Challenger has that iconic look to it. I still think the Scat pack and the Hellcat is a bit much for daily driving. The R/T the more I think about it, is the perfect daily if you don't have snow. The SXT or GT AWD is the perfect daily if you live in bad weather areas. That AWD system is unbelievable how good it is and believe it or not, the V6 is still a damn fun engine. Not to mention you can mod it and get some good power out of it.
I started back in 2019 With a new Octane Red Pearl Challenger RT. Loved it but I have always had top speed vehicles. I started looking for me a Hellcat . Took me 1 and half years to find a low mile used one. I just kept checking car dealership websites day until I found it. I ended up selling my RT to the dealership and making 10,000. I used it as a down payment on a 15 Srt Hellcat Challenger. 6 speed manual. What I wanted that's why I don't have a charger it's not a manual made car. I ended up getting my car foe 43,000. Financed it. It's worth and I wouldn't go back
392 SRT8 6.4 Hemi V8 2011-2014 , 392 Scat Pack is a Hellcat 485hp, just adding Hellcat Supercharger increase horsepower or procharger.
the 392 is perfect if not overkill for the average driver especially at its price point ,new and used, and with hell cat mark ups reaching 100 % i my self would lean to buying a 392
I love my Slim charger 392 scatpack 2021 🔥
I was go settle for scatpack 2021 but rather have the 2020-2021 Hellcat . Which I’m getting in March 20th💪🏽
Happy with my 2022 F8 Widebody Charger ...But i do love the whine of the Supercharger
I think it all comes down to your income. I had a Scat for a year before I got my Redeye and honestly for me it was worth every penny.
GT owner: I definitely feel that a Scatpack is the way to go especially living in New York. Not enough road for a Hellcat here unless your driving out of town. Definitely want to upgrade to a Scatpack Wide Body but due to living situations il stick with the GT. Wish the owners of Dodge see this video and really listen to what's being said and keep the V8s alive.
I'm the average working joe and I've always wanted and working towards a V8. I'll be happy with an RT HEMI, Mustang GT, Camaro SS or an old skool with a V8. It don't even got to be the fastest thing in the world. I just want that V8 sound and experience and I'll be good!
I'm a R/T owner, definitely the scat 392 widebody for me mid muffler delete and I'm all good.
I totaled my 19 scat and as soon as I got the check I went to get 18 hellcat but I was having issues with check engine light in one month I took the car to dealer twice I seen a 22scat wb for same price so I switched them out. I miss that 18 hellcat so much. NOTHING REPLACES THAT WHINE! IF YOU DONT WANT A CAR THAT SPIN AND BETTER CONTROL GET TRACK.
I have had 2 Scats and a Charger SRT8 and I am definitely good where I am. But if I did more racing then maybe a hellcat would be where I would like to start from. But I enjoy drag racing in my nice old truck or a cheap mustang parts are cheap and I have fun in that. I am cool with my widebody Charger.
I’ve wanted a Hellcat back when they was just rumors in 13’-14’ This was the time when only true car enthusiasts was after Hellcats and rappers didn’t know about them yet. Even with me making plenty of money if your a 1st time buyer and don’t have any car history on your credit like I didn’t at the time then you have to play the credit game or unless you can afford to drop 40 or 50k on a car lol. I started with an SXT then a year later got my 392. I’m perfectly happy with my 22’ Scat but I’ve always wanted a Cat but hey if I don’t get one then I’m still satisfied.
loving my ‘19 392 I picked up with 30k miles. Get lane keep if you can, it’s not intrusive and quite nice. Couldn’t imagine a HC daily just due to sucking gas like mad and I really don’t need MORE power
Huh? The 392 also uses a lot of gas too😂
Lol stop letting people fool you. I've had two scatpacks & now a hellcat they both burn damn near the same amount when you're not going full throttle all day long.
Honestly I wanted the 392 and when life put me in position to afford one the people around me kept saying I should just get the cat and not settle. The 392 was not only me settling but I feel like it's the best value. I'm not gonna be racing just always wanted a muscle car and love the classic look. But the hellcat has been the dream since it was released. I can afford it even now but the inflated price makes me question if it's worth it. Like u said I'd be paying more than my mortgage even with a hefty down payment. Also in time I feel like the hellcat is a pillar in automobiles. But..the scats will definitely be classic as well. My friend bought a TRX and traded it for Raptor becuz of the payments 🤷🏽♂️ At this point its either 392, Camaro or vette.. ALL ARE 🔥🔥🔥💪🏾
Don’t waste your time with a 392 them things just have no power
I have had a rt a scatpack and now a Hellcat and the Hellcat is definitely the most powerful and love the sound of that supercharger worth it to me but far as daily driver the rt or scat wins
I just got a steal on a 2018 scat fully loaded with low miles for 38k and I’m happy with it maybe go for a hellcat one day but not to crazy about getting one.
You hit the nail on the head with this one! As much as I appreciate the power of the Hellcat - I can't justify the cost difference. line a scat and cat up in a dig - and you'd expect the cat to win by a GREAT margin - but you'd be surprised. AND like you said - I'm not taking my Scat to the track or racing like that! I just want to gap those Honda's, Toyota's and Nissan's that think they can keep up with me! LOL!
an AWD v6 Challenger can beat a Scatpack or Hellcat from a dig under 40 mpg. Doesn't make the v6 faster... A promise you when you get 40+ mpg from a dig, a Hellcat would absolutely completely annihilate a Scatpack or any other trim below it. It's not even a close contest.
As a hellcat owner and former member of a charger club. Them scat packs got left and fast and there's nothing but taillights after take off.
Well you may be gaping a Corolla but you aren’t gapping my Toyota Supra. I walk Hellcats with just a few simple mods. Yes you can modify a Hellcat for more power but it simply cannot compete with the way the MKV Supras wake up from a simple down pipe and tune. The Supra also doesn’t look like regular traffic. GT-R also going to walk a hellcat. Hellcat is a respectable car it’s just too damn heavy to be gapping anything more than a Civic Type R. Dodge owners think the Hellcat is King but it’s far from it. Also the prices Dodge owners are willing to pay is absurd for what it is… Regular traffic, no one’s excited about seeing a Dodge on the street, but people yell… Is That a SUPRA? It’s so common it’s become a meme… Not hate just facts. ❤
I’m happy with with my widebody scat pack 2021 I customize it how I wanted it and let’s be honest that 392 is a big engine I wouldn’t change mine for a hellcat I’ll just pro charger in the future
I currently own a 2013 Dodge Dart Ralley,I’m saving up now for a Scatpack charger,I have only a couple months left to go before I go and purchase my high school dream car😌
I love my scat , but I want a hellcat . Slim or wide . It doesn’t matter to me . I had to edit this comment after I finished this video , because you made a lot of valid points . I love my 392. With that being said , I’m not going to get a hellcat and be eating peanut butter sandwiches for a couple years . I’ll stay with my Daytona392 with the dynamics package . I love that car . I can’t go get a gallon of milk without someone wanting to run against me . I’ve had Lucy for almost 5 years and still enjoy the hell out of her !
I have a 2020 challenger R/T and honestly that’s plenty of power for an average driver I mean I’m not going to the track and that’s the difference if you’re going to the track then the more horsepower and the correct amount of mods is needed but if not a scat or even an R/T is enough and fun to drive in everyday traffic
I have a scatpack charger clean as always!! Love it and I think 🤔 I'm happy with it
Hellcat owner here, I gotta say you make good points but you said you're buying another car for essentially a bigger engine but to be fair if you're coming from an RT you're doing the same for a scat, but I agree 90% of people should be stuck to the scat cause truthfully most people can't handle the power of a hellcat, or a scat for that matter. Sorry the truth sucks y'all but most of y'all dont realize how much power a scat really has, I came from a 2020 RT and learned the power and at one point it was insane power but after awhile I got super comfortable with it but I WAS happy with i loved the exhaust note better than the scat and I preferred the RT but I really wanted the supercharger whine so I traded up to the hellcat and it's perfect, I trained myself to the 700hp on eco mode with 500hp limit just to get comfortable instead of launching headfirst into the road legal rocketship. I'm seeing people say hellcats are for status, i personally think the exhaust sounds better than the 392 and the whine is amazing. That's what I wanted it for, not even the insane power that I have inevitably fell in love with. I'm only 22 but I work a lot and saved money and built my credit with my RT and got my hellcat at 900 a month and my insurance for 3 vehicles is only 338
My Widebody Challenger Scat Pack is plenty of enough power for me. I could probably beat more than 85% of cars on road right now and my Scat Pack is totally stock. I’m perfectly happy with my Scat Pack.
2023 Hellcat prices are going to go through the roof next year anyway. I’m content and standing pat!
I have had my Scatty since 2018 I have leather suede seats, gps , sunroof and I just put a set of Hellcat wheels on it. I am very satisfied with my 2018. Its paid for and I only have 40 K miles on it.
I have a 2016 charger SXT V6 and yes my goal was a hellcat but as I’m watching more reviews on the 21 widebody scat I think that would be perfect for me I have a good job so I think that be more affordable for me right now.
scatpack is the sweet spot of the lineup and best daily of them all. hellcats just keep getting marked up at that point id rather get some sort of amg benz at the pricepoint they are asking for them
