A lot of people hate to daily drive a manual, I love doing it. Nice video!
It’s therapeutic for me!
Manual is best. I have an M135 and the manual feeling is on top. Next car will be an pony car.
@@asdas137 Right on!
You and me both
I wouldnt have it any other way
Facts!
Nice video! I love my 15’ Challenger Scat , I have a 6speed as well 🤙🏽
Nice video. Starting in 2nd gear in the snow with rear wheel drive, that brings back memories. Thanks for the video.
Thank you! Have to baby it haha
Don’t forget the kitty litter in the trunk
Loved the video man!!
Thank you for the support!
During the "gas crisis" my Dad bought a 78 Datsun B210 Wagon 5 speed. He said he hated it and would never get a manual again.... Well, it was a Datsun 4 cyl, and he was used to large cars like the Bonneville, so in reality I think he just didn't like being crammed into a tin can with zero power. Meanwhile, my Mom was driving a 74 Catalina 2 door with a 400 and she never complained 😉😉. I have never been a Mopar guy but I had a Durango with the small V8 and enjoyed it. I am really leaning towards getting a Challenger as a second, "fun" car.
They are fun!
Another excellent manual shift video!
Thanks friend!
Good shit!!!
Love the video
Thanks man!
When you pull in to a spot look at the cars paint next to you to see your reflection and depth especially when it comes to curbs and those block they use to divide spaces.
I just discovered your channel LOVE IT!
Thank you so much!!
Great video!
Thank you!
When people bad mouth Dodge Challengers, I scratch my head and wonder what car they actually drove. I hear people talk about how the interior isn't nice and the seats are uncomfortable. In my opinion, the seats are the most comfortable car seats I've ever sat in. Everybody who rides in my car talk about how they love the interior and how good the seats feel. I guess people expect a workout when working the clutch pedal in a car like this, but it is actually pretty light. After getting used to driving a stick shift car again, I don't even think about it. I thought a heated steering wheel was one of the dumbest things I ever heard of. i would not have ordered a car with it, but since it comes with the Scat pack-T/A package, I got it. Now, I hate to drive cars without a heated steering wheel.
My employer provides me a car to drive, so I don't have to drive my own. Even though it costs me nothing to drive, driving that 2020 Malibu (worst new car I've ever driven) almost makes me want to park it.
Couldn’t have said it better myself! I agree 100%
What you are experience is hataz doing what they are meant to do
Or they will compare it to something not comparable, like a Porsche. These cars stand alone.
@@austinaubinoe I agree, man. There is literally nothing else like a Challenger out there.
Especially the Scat, which is the modern interpretation of the original Muscle Car.
Full size car
Coupe
Honking, high compression, naturally aspirated V8.
Stick shift.
It does stand alone.
I couldn't agree more. Ya it's big.......and very comfortable......and fun to drive. On my third one and loved every one of them.
Good for you. Used to daily an old 911 in LA.
I bet that was fun!
Awesome video- I just realized that’s Lehi- it’s nice to know that I get some local insider’s opinions, and tells me how the conditions are of my area! 💯
Yep!
Great vid,I recently purchased a 2014 r/t 100th anniversay ,5.7 6spd.octane red .after next week it will be a daily driver for the nicer months,
Congrats!!
I daily drive a manual 2016 challenger scat, in southwest florida and i love it
Also wanted to add i get about 180 miles til empty on a full tank
love my 6mt. in barelly moving traffic i stuff it in 2nd and just let it do it's thing. then as soon as the congestion clears up, its go time.
Yep!!!
I didn't have a Scatpack Manuel but a mustang gt Manuel.. and I loved it..
Right on!
Great video! Current 2013 Focus ST daily, looking into a scat pack as my next daily. Hopefully, I can afford a new one next year. So sad it's the last model year. But maybe that will help resale value down the road 🤷, especially since I'm buying the manual.
Get one while you can!
That pull to 90 when you downshifted was awesome. That exhaust is stock right?
Stock!
I love my Pitch Black M6 Scat Pack!
Nice!!
I took delivery of mine in July and it looks just like yours, all white except for black spoiler and gas filler door. I also have a manual and feel the same way you do about what it's like as a daily driver with this one caveat, since I have diabetic nephropathy in my feet the problem I have with the throttle is not getting enough power and stalling sometimes, but I'm getting better. While this car is powerful it is also too heavy to be as fast as it should be for the power, but it makes up for it by being fundamentally fun to drive. If you have ever driven a classic muscle car, especially back in the day when they were new and not classic like I have, then this thing takes fun to a whole new level. This is my Vanishing Point car, I waited 50 years to get it, and I am having an absolute blast driving it, even in slow town traffic. I do wish I had it out where you live as I would like some lonely open road to open this thing up on. Love the channel, and your car. I know it sounds cliche but there is just something about a Mopar that is truly special. I think it's that they are just different enough to not be part of the pack (no pun), or make their own pack.
Congrats!
I think our rides are really easy to drive everyday. I'm gonna be sad once they salt the roads because I won't be driving it then. I drive it like I stole it everywhere I go, I love it. I just use Adam's ceramic waterless wash to clean any bugs off in between washes and Invisible glass on the windshield every night. I can't stand to have anything on my windshield LOL!
So much more fun to drive,
Amen!
He ain’t lying about not being able to see well in the back. Glad I have back up camera. That’s why they call it a challenger. Because it’s a challenge to see when backing up
Lol
I drive my manual 6 speed T/A Challenger 392 really same as a scat pac. Fun driver bad day you look forward to drive home. I know that feeling of parking as low as it is. Powershifting is fun speed shifting is fun but the miss a shift crap it sometimes wants you yo skip gearx goes to fourth and I don't want to
Yeah I abgree
Just bought my 2022 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack 392 Hemi Shaker 6 Speed Manual Transmission vehicle , Black on Black . I’ve been driving stick shift vehicles all my life and absolutely love it . Another positive point is these young kids have no clue how to drive a manual shift there for they can’t borrow it lol . My new car is for Sunday drives , not daily use . When I test drove it 2 weeks ago it took me back to my teenage days of driving my 1967 Chevelle big block 4 speed car . I was hooked on the new Challenger the first mile , especially the sound and shifting the gears and downshifting noise . Zoom Zoom Zoom
Enjoy that sweet ride my friend!!
Car thieves usually can’t drive manual either
Love my manual
Gotta love and appreciate the manuals!
Love my scat pack manual to! But i dont daily it though :) Whats the name of the song 01:05? Awesome intro!
I go from manual car to manual tractor and never give it a 2nd thought
She's large, she's bulky - Back end is short and easy to manage, front end is difficult as Austin mentioned, Yet easy to to get used too.
Most importantly, The scat pack packs a punch. There are not many that can keep up. Flipping the backend is super simple and a dime turn is instinct - front end won't move.
Dropping to 4th or even 3rd on the freeway creates a power band that is absolutely insane. Lower end torque for days. Performance pages show all time highs for all track specs including G's. As Austin mentioned driving in the dead of winter on icy roads is a challenge, however it's not impossible - Even with the 11 inch treads that come stock with the wide-body.
Important note: Scat Pack Challenger circa 2019 and greater are considered SRT models. They do absolutely include the SRT functions and in dash controls including suspension and traction mods. Launch control and "Burnt-out" (Line-Lock) are covered by factory warranty (Note, your tires are not are included).
Agree!
I love my 2020 manual scat in octane red
Such a great color!
I have a manual 2011 SRT8. One of the 1st with the 6.4 Hemi. It the the Inaugural Edition number 151. For me its a nice weather car. I only wish it had a backup camera. Also, it is hard to know where the front splitter is. And it does move side to side easily if you push it too hard through the turns.😂 It is a great highway car and that 6th gear is very tall.
I agree!
Mad props on getting the manual. So sick of everyone posting videos with their boring automatic challengers.
Thanks!
Found and bought my new!! '22 manual scatty shaker Challenger three months ago, straight off the showroom floor of an obscure Appalachian Mountain town dealership. While no stranger to either V8s or stick shifts, this is my very first experience with a muscle car and I am totally crushing on this tank of a baby !
Tho I've only managed to put about 800 miles on it, my mostly in-town and frustratingly crowded interstate experiences pretty much echo every point you made: the low-end, though totally controllable power amazes me (like when you're first in line at the stoplight, it's a wittle hard to control the urge to squeak the tires on take-off😂);
And Bro, i feel ya on killing the engine...done it a couple times myself...sooo embarrassing 🥵;
The suspension feels a bit stiff for something that's attempting to split the difference between being a sports & luxury car, but what the heck! I'm used to an older Sequoia, which feels like riding on a hay wagon in comparison.
I also agree that for interstate driving it's usually 5th or, with luck, 6th gear...living in the foothills of the mountains makes determining which & where a bit more of a challenge ... I was absolutely thrilled the one time the computer showed i was getting over 13 mpg!
And YES! Absolutely in tune with your sentiment about the probable extinction of manual trannies. I am beyond happy and blessed for the opportunity to not only sit behind the wheel of, but actually own such an amazing reminder of American nostalgia and engineering ingenuity.
When i die I might just ask to be buried in this car!
Right on! Enjoy the car!!!
You forgot to mention how stiff the transmission is. Especially when leaving a parking spot
I love my 6 speed scat pack
Right on!
Does it not have hill assist? I had a 2016 manual dart back I. The day that had the hill start assist figured these would surely for the price tag. Been looking at a few
I can’t remember to be honest. I had this car several years ago
What is your technique to downshift? Rev match / double clutch, etc.
No technique needed just drop a gear and disappear! ;
You have to do the skip shift eliminator
My car didn’t skip shift
Can you compare the clutch feel to a Camaro or Mustang? I test drove a manual Scat Pack only once and the clutch travel felt extremely short compared to the other 2 cars.
Scats clutch was much more firm and hard to daily drive compared to my 5.0. The clutch releases much earlier on the scat.
I have a 16 r/t scat pack I got like month ago and it is my daily any advice on the second gear being hard to shift? I've taken to dealership they've said it's fine i was told by someone switch the shifter
I found track mode made it shift the smoothest
What road was that in the intro I wanna add it on my trip list to drive on
Utah
Manny way beterrr than a auto they need more cars with them
For sure!
I understand why people hate driving a manual in city traffic. So daily driving a manual should be for enthusiasts ONLY. I enjoy driving a manual ('02 911 turbo 6spd and '18 RT Plus Shaker 4 piston Brembo 6spd) but I can't recommend it in big city traffic.
If fuel economy is of any concern, a person should consider a Corolla or Civic. Challengers are big comfortable cruisers and remind me of a BMW 8 series, just better looking.
Where can I get that "Sit Down Shut Up Hang On" start button?
I got it from rebadge design and graphics
..... eBay, Etsy and/or Steve White Motors
Hey do you need to stay within a certain spd/rpm range shifting out of 1st going into 2nd ?
No
No talk on how it shifts ,,is it smooth ,clunky ,what about downshifting ,5 to 6 is it a pain with that ring force wanting to push it back ,,
Smooth
The good ol days!..lol
So last year bro!
i have not found a video of what it's like driving a scat pack, as a daily, in a city like LA or NYC with rush hour as being part of your daily life. I drive 40miles a day and get stuck in traffic. I work weekends as well so 2 days out of the week I get to enjoy the road. I'd like to own a scat pack, but it seems I have no use for all that power so I'm opting for an RT. If anyone has a scat pack and lives in congested areas please let me know if it's still worth it.
That power in the city isn’t needed. Get an R/T with an automatic.
With ur daily commute of 40 miles per day, how it is on gas? How often do you fill up and how much do you spend
I fill up once every 7 or 8 business days. Cost is around $40 each time. I average around 16mpg
@@Gonin60 not bad at all that’s around the same as my bros mustang gt, I thought it would be a difference with the bigger engine but I guess not. What are gas prices like for premium over there? I’m from Rhode Island we’re around $3 and some change
Just curious what gas mileage are you getting. Also is it the 6.4?
17 combined and around 23-24 highways
Any plans to tint the windows?
Sold the car
Reduce turning radius with throttle!
Even if we don't go full electric, cars will probably be swapping to direct drive, using electric motors powered by the engine rather than a transmission and drive shaft.
Yeah for sure
I'm looking at a manual R/T with the 5.7 and all the performance options that can be bought. Does anybody know if a 5.7 would make me happy? 😅
5.7 is no slouch but a lot end up going with the 6.4
My question is how do people even use 2nd gear in this car. I always use 1st to 3rd.
BTW I would highly suggest a Barton shifter makes the world of difference
I’ve heard Barton is great!
Same? I rarely use 2nd. I think just goin up hills is when u need 2nd.
How many miles did your car have at time of purchase? Would you recommend used or new scatpack?
I bought it new. If you time it right you can get a new one for the same price as a used. I flew out to Nebraska to get mine b
@@Gonin60 No issues getting it licensed in your state?
@@bman99ss Nope
@@Gonin60 can you make a video about how to get a deal like that?? Like how to time the purchase, how much do you pay etc. that would be so helpful. Thanks!
Right now! There's a bunch of leftover brand spanking new 2020 scatpacks with options sitting on lots for $37k. $10k+ under msrp advertised. The manufacturer will give more incentives to help the dealership clear out their old stock. And, you have a better position to negotiate from being that it's already a year old. But, reality is, we don't care, 2021's are no different than 2020's. You're not missing out on anything.
I bought my 2018 in spring of 2019. It's trade in value is only $1k less than what I paid for it almost 2 years ago.
I used cargurus when I was shopping. Just beware of some dealerships advertising prices with rebates that you won't qualify for. I called ahead to confirm the actual price before making the 78 mile journey to purchase my torred T/A.
Hey Austin
How do you shift to 5th without having a fear of going to reverse instead?
Btw I've ordered my scat pack manual, and just waiting.....
The fear is there and always real. The reality is I never had it happen. It’s very far over and up
Car won't let you. Can't shift in to reverse if car is moving greater than 3mph. Of course when you do shift to reverse, it's best to be actually not moving.
@@halcyonoutlander2105 thx, yeah I noticed that too after I got my manual... Not gonna lie it was pretty stress full the first week. I learned how to drive on a manual car when I was a kid, but it was a 5 speed where I didn't have to worry about it ... And with mustangs you at least had to pull on the shifter ring before putting in reverse.
@@salpanahi Hurst four speed was R Left and up, no lockout, but was spring loaded and fairly long throw
I just got my 21TA scat pack I wasn't even gonna try driving a 6 speed but I love the car that I saw and I figured what the heck Best decision I ever made I love it and it's very hard to even get in reverse when you want to I don't think you're ever going to have an issue
Do you double clutch 🤔???
Granny shifting not double clutching like you should
Drive a manual chally then think it’s weird til you drive the automatic and have power but it’s too simple so then you want and the manual!
Save the manuals!
It's really easy to get a ticket in this car is what you miss on saying 😆
Yes haha
Just a few more weeks for mine I hope... Jan 2nd 2021 is when I am hoping to pick up mine...still stupid that I need to pay Destination for a car that's built in the same province/30 mins from the dealer... oh well.... Ohhhhhhhhh the withdrawal!!!!!! ....break in period will be fun for the winter lol I daily drove my 2012 SRT, 19,000 kms before I sadly gave it up....not going to happen this time
So excited for you to take delivery! Enjoy!
@@Gonin60 and the stupidly expensive 1,500$ brake disc(each) when the time comes lol
@@BMan100 is that for the four or six piston brembos?
@@Gonin60 6’s, lucky for me I can just by the rings lol I shall wear my brembo brake dust with pride lol
no auto rev on challengers?
No rev match
When i 1st started driving, that's all i had to Drive was sticks. The fact that its an issue with folks now is awful.
Thanks for sharing!
🙏🙏🙏
Thank you!
Whats your MPG AVERAGE?
17
What does the scat pack redline at?
It’s around 6250 or 6500. Don’t remember off the top of my head.
Gonin60 no..?
What year is this car?
2019
I’m thinking about getting a newer scat pack, would it be a good first manual car to get?
It’s heavy and that clutch will wear you out but it is fun car.
@@Gonin60 thank you! Would you say a 5.7 to start out with? Instead of a 6.4
@@BertsBurgers the 5.7 and 6.4 drive the same. Both clutches feel heavy and can be hard to daily but I did it.
Bought myself a challenger and less then a month someone vandalized it and broke into my home. And stole some of my property
Dang I’m so sorry to hear that!
Just so you know RPM is singular. Revolutions per minute. You kept saying RPMS. The Corvette Z06 2010 model 427 (7 litres) allowed me to start in 4th gear. In fact the only annoying thing about it was that in city driving in first gear if you didn't take it above 30 mph it would signal you and require you to put it in 4th gear. Pretty much any car on this planet would stall driving in 3rd gear at 20 mph yet alone 4th like my Z06. At 75 mph in 6th the rpm stood at 1230, so basically taking a nap :)
Oh, one more thing, a car like this should not be an automatic, just saying.
To each their own. I love Manuals
Great video and really nice car keep it up man! Just subscribed to you. If you get a chant take a look at my page!
Thanks for the support! Just subbed to you as well!
leave a like, leave a thumbs up
me: HA i will dislike this video, just because you asked me to!
him: leave a dislike i dont care, just interact with the video!
me: checkmate, well played.
NOT
HOT
Every time I see a video that’s 16 minutes long telling me about some thing, I just have to comment and tell them I don’t have that much time in my life to listen to you blab. Like Billy Joel once said, cur it down to 3:05
You should create videos and do them exactly how you think they should be done. Why even take time to just leave a disrespectful comment.
