My buddy has 167,000 miles on his 2014 challenger 5.7 hemi, he hasn’t had one bit of problems with it. It’s never had the tic. That dam car still runs like new and he beats the hell out of it all the time ! 👍👍👍🇺🇸
Highly doubt it.
What oil he runs
My buddy has a 2011 challenger rt with almost 375k miles and it’s his daily driver going strong. His IG is his name Dennis bray. He puts up pics of the miles on the car there. Super surprised how well that car looks and runs.
@@johnnybrooklyn6869 that’s what haters do. They always doubt good things
Proper maintenance and an insane amount of luck will do that
I agree with #9. I'm 56 years old running a red eye challenger love this car respect the power but see to many that have the other models come bye trying to show off sliding around corners hauling a$$ down a neighbor street with kids around because mine is out and they think they need to prove something. Watched a kid get a brand new hemi challenger and hit the light 4 months after getting.slow down people please especially in neighborhoods.
Facts
I'm going to keep my current Mopars as long as possible. I feel like they had a great decade but sadly not optimistic about the future. We'll see how it goes.
Might be a collectible later down the road depending on what it is
#1 cannot be stressed enough. I had a Scat Pack Challenger for like a week before I decided to make a change. Decided to just return it and get a Widebody but if not that new wheels and tires is a must. I kinda cant believe they even sell them with 245s.
I had the same issue as purchased a Scat Pack new in 2018 with 245 tires. I kept the car for 13 months and traded for a new 2019 1320.
Thanks X! Great content, as usual.
No joke. Running less than rear 275s on a Scat Pack is just plain dangerous.
Yeah, I can't even get mine to hook on the stock drag radials or continental dws in cool weather.
Oh absolutely, your launch control functions become next to useless
Mr. X 👏
Nothing better than an unbiased review on cars. Know your car, know your limits, know your environment and most importantly,don’t fu(K it up for the rest of who want to have fun responsibly
That was an awesome information filled video!!! Thank you on #9.. more people need to be educated about this. I’m 50 years old and professionally road raced motorcycles for many years! But it does take a lot to handle these vehicles and I’ve owned many of them. Being responsible is key because these things can kill you in a second.
Ordered a 2022 Daytona 5.7 a while back, dealership said it should be here second week of March, can't wait!!!
You are going to have so much fun.
How much ?
I got at 392 at 19 in a very pro gun state I stay well protected and at my apartment I live next door to a police officer and he don’t complain about my car but it’s nice to know I have that kinda of neighbor
I remember a few years ago when the Hellcat came out with 707 hp. Wow! That's all we talked about! Did the introduction of the Hellcat spur the current hp race? I think it did. Reminds me of the 60's factory hp wars! Now everyone that mods their cars are shooting for 700+ to keep up with the stock Hellcat. Problem is, the Hellcat guys are modding their cars! So now 700+ hp is not enough! Boost Baby Boost! Now just put that to the ground and you have something special!
Go to the strip and show off, be prepared to break something!
Dodge came out SWINGING with the release of the Hellcat in 2015...that Vehicle 100% introduced this new theme of "how much power is too much" lmao! At least in my opinion.
This is why dodge should hire you to represent the brand
I always use fuel from gas stations that are certified TopTier quality! The 5.7 Hemi is certainly happy running 89 octane!
I have 275s on my challenger with 9 inch wheels and it’s just fine. You don’t need new wheels. Those tires are required however unless of course you like spinning
I really drive my 2015 6spd 392. I got it with 2k miles and now it has over 75k miles. I don’t have to worry about MDS since it’s only offered in the Auto. The car has been out of warranty for a few months now and so far so good. Everything in the car is original including the clutch. I don’t baby the car but I don’t trash on it 24/7 and I’ve only taken it to the track once. It has some rock chirps and minor scratches, but I kinda look forward to those, I feel like the car is aging along with me. These cars are an experience, it really does make you not care about anything else on the road. Are there faster cars? Sure, better handling? Absolutely… do I care? Absolutely not.
Recently bought an 18 Challenger 392 T/A, love all the info and videos! Watching your vids helped me decide model trim etc. 392 is legit.
your number 8 point hits home for me. My charger hellcat was stolen from my driveway this past September. These thieves are going crazy over these dam cars.
Man I really miss the Mopar content. You're the reason I finally purchased my dream car.
Me too
This wasn't Mopar content. He put it in second place on almost every point. Disappointing.
Love the channel. Great list. I have a 2015 RT Plus Challenger and it is a great car. Never heard a tic out of the engine. Can’t wait for the weather to warm up here in Michigan so I can bring it back out of the garage and let it run.
Tip from me. I started with a challenger GT…to slow…traded to RT…to slow…now I have the scat pack and this is where its at. The scat packs are around the same price point too. Just spend the extra bucks on the scat pack and thank me later.
Excellent point about Dodge’s image. When I go to non-Dodge dealerships and I’m pleasant and humble (even when jerks dig me about my car being “slow”), people almost seem shocked a lot of the time. It’s like they see me coming and think a VERY different person is about to step out.
On the one hand I TOTALLY see where you're coming from with the people acting a fool and wanting to distance yourself from that. And maybe it's just my opinion, but you shouldn't let some bad influencers dictate your actions. You can control them just like they can't control you. That would be like saying you don't want to own a Mustang because people run into crowds with them. I respect your opinion, and it's your right to have it. But I encourage you not to allow yourself to be influenced by bad examples of owners. Regardless of how this is received, keep doing what you do! I appreciate your content and your insight.
Up here in Montreal, in my experience the real asshats on the road are the Tesla and BMW'S mostly. Being snowy 4 months a year makes the muscle cars less popular and I'm grateful to enjoy the camaraderie that I've experienced so far when I cruise with my 2017 Rt Challenger. Great video Paul. Really hope you come back to Mopar, at least part way.
Same here in America in Mid Atlantic Area
I hear that. However just so people are aware, you can daily the R/T quite painlessly in winter. On my 4th year with R/T in Edmonton lol, get some Nokian Hakkapalitta tires.
I've been driving my 1320 with cont dws tires no problem, but keeping the salt off has been harder than I thought as it tends to stick around the edges of the fenders and the back end more than it did on my Mustang.
@@Wassenhoven420 oh definitely. I have a set of great winters just in case but I want to keep my RT as long as I can. Winter salt and conditions are cancer to the car, so I bought a Chrysler 200 as a daily to preserve my RT:)
@@Mrbobcat7 ya that's exactly it. I bought a daily driver to preserve my RT. Salt is a killer. It's torquey enough on those winter roads, I can only imagine what the 1320 Scat is like.
Great video bro be careful with this crazy Texas weather bro 💪🏼
Really appreciate you and all videos!! Keep up the fantastic work
This was great content brother, very well done video hitting a lot of great points.
You are so right about that and I love it when you start talking about Mopar because I own a 2020 dodge charger scat pack 392 and a 2014 ram 1500 with a 5.7 hemi thank you for all you do
Great video Bud! All excellent points!
Racer X, thank you so much for putting this video out. I own a wb scatpack and this was a video I was wanting to see and hear about 👍. Stay safe 🇺🇸
You are by far one of my favorite RUclipsrs! You actually got me into Mopar ownership. I bought a 2017 R/T destroyer gray Blacktop! Car is absolutely beautiful inside and out! Keep up the good content
I have the same exact one. Yours is a challenger right?
Again Racer X a great video. Thank you! Very informative!
Great video as always, looking forward to FINALLY getting my Challenger here HOPEFULLY around May or so, fingers crossed👊
Great information. #9 was right on. Thank you for the video.
Great list! I have a 5.7 and I still try my luck at competing against 5.0 Mustangs from a dig😂
I’m with you on that one👍🏁. With some upgrades on a 5.7 you can gain some good hp.
@@SHAKER36 Very true💪🏽 Fantastic engine indeed.
#9 So true. It takes some joy out of me when driving my 392 just watching someone doing those dumb moves on public road just to show off.
It bad enough people who barely handle four cylinders let alone getting that much power so a bunch of idiots out there with them
Great video as always! That was a nice groovy beat you had going there, lol
Another awesome one buddy, I think you nailed it , maybe a couple in different order, but all the same points, as always you do your research better than anyone else, keep up
up the great content, we will catch your pulls later.
That is some very useful content racer x. As always keep it coming bud
Excellent points! Great job buddy
I worked at a series of Chrysler dealerships over the years. I read an internal memo that noted the Hemi tick. If you use the vehicle for any severe service use, such as police or taxi use (racing would qualify as severe service). It was recommended to use SAE 5W40 full synthetic. Also add some ZDDP to boost the zinc levels as zinc is a lubricant for ferrous metals under heavy pressure. Change oil at 4000 miles. Use Mopar oil filter 0488 4899 AC-001 box is also labeled MO-899.
My 392 has no tick. I also bought a Diablo tuner and disabled the MDS.
I keep mine garaged at all times with a blocker truck behind it that is notorious for not starting.
Plate C
“A sweetheart of an engine”??? Just convinced me to order headers…✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Great video brother! I agree on all points!
I completely agree with all your points,especially number 9. 245s on a scat pack, are a joke.
Great video we appreciate you 🏁✊🏾
Great List! You encouraged me to Grab a Scat! Ended up with the Daytona to be a "little different" haha!
Frank from Germany here brother, very informative stuff! You need another MOPAR baby! That’s YOU! That’s where your Heart is at! Love you brother! Keep it coming! I forgive you going out of bounds. No worries 😉
Thanks for the helpfull info, i just ordered my 2022 dodge challenger 392 scat pack widebody T/A go mango up here in toronto canada and cant wait to finally get it. Hope i have a great time with it
How much
Great Informative Video💯💯 Thank You‼✌😁🤘
GREAT VIDEO 👍🏿💯 #9 big facts
Just got me a 22 scat pack appreciate this video 👍🏽💯
RacerX, This is a very good video from you full of truth, Thank You!
And here I thought I knew everything about my Charger...very informative. Thanks for making the video
Fingers crossed, my 05 Magnum RT still daily drives with 230,000 miles and counting.
Been loving my 17 charger scat currently just passed 80k miles completely stock doing regular oil changes at my dealer been happy with them here in Arizona love the content RacerX
in Az too. what dealer do you use. ?
All points a great, thank you. Simply proud to own my Mopar
I had The updated key fob computer system done so I hope it works I also use The steering And brake Lock when parked in a parking lot .
Racer X,
Love the Vlog information on Dodge motors. How about that Hellephant crate motor that was released in 2019. Although this motor was bought up really fast, would you know any of your Mopar buddies have this engine?
I agree that it has become almost embarrassing to drive a Dodge. Of course ... I don't know why we should be surprised since Dodge's commercials nearly always feature cars drifting or doing burnouts.
Quality vids 💯🙌🏽
Great video!
Outstanding thank you sir
Video idea. The 1320 has a Trans brake feature that you can launch with at a drag strip. Curious how that stacks up to normal launch control.
My first car was a brand new, right off the dealership showroom floor, a 1973 340 Cuda. I really miss that car. Traded it for a new 1975 Trans Am Firebird.
Nailed it as always 🔥🔥🔥
Love you videos!! Im 29 years old, I currently drive a 2017 mustang 5.0, still paying on it I have 20K left and I keep getting an itch to trade it in for a Hellcat, Scatpact or SRT 392! Lol idk if I should wait until it's paid off or just go for it? Anyway love your channel! Keep it up brotha 💯
Kinda avoided your channel for a bit, only because I am trying to avoid moding my Scat Pack right now!!!lmao. Love the video man!!! Also, did you know there is a comic Racer X?
Love the content. Absolutely agree with the hooligan point. It hurts to see people out there like this just acting ignorant and selfish. Still. Wish you were back in a Mopar brother lol
Great video
Bingo...there's the normalish(sp) Hemi tick and the there's the " I didn't take proper care of my Hemi tick"...good stuff X
More excellent content hell yeah
Preach number #9 brotha.
Love your content you got me wanting to get s scat lol
I believe the Hemi tick is caused by using synthetic blend instead of full synthetic oil and change it every 5000 miles. We have the same problem with the F-150 turbo V6 taking out the timing gears.
Why not if the roads are dry. You go for it Lino Lakes, Mn. 17 degs outside right now. At 3:12 Pm this afternoon.
This guy is the truth alot of knowledge from him about mopar's
That's why I said it seemed like you might as well get the RT. I mean if you living in a house with a garage where you can put your car at then yes get the higher trim level but all-in-all for real get what you like and get what you can't afford but yes they are going for the higher trim like I said I had got to Arty for financial reasons I guess I'm kind of glad I had no choice but to get that because where I live I don't have a garage
Great video enjoyed 👌☝🏻🇺🇸
Thanks!
Thank you for you Super Comment buddy.. I really appreciate it ..
What brand oil do you run in your 6.4 dodge , curious as to your preference . Thx
That countdown music made me wanna dance on my Scat Pack.
Hey brother I'm out here in Dallas TX. Do you have a performance mechanic you would recommend? 2018 scat
Right on
Well said Mr. Racer X. I just traded my 22 Camry TRD for my first ever America Muscle the 2023 Challenger scatpack base model. I love how torque and scary fast the car is. Definitely agree with you with these Hoodlum clowns owning these cars and disrespecting the streets and putting innocent civilians in danger. But definitely happy with my new scat and thanks for these awesome helpful videos. God bless
If you buy a non hellcat hemi swap the oil pump with a hellcat oil pump it'll prevent hemi tick & lubricate the engine far better & will last longer if properly maintained with premium synthetic oil
have my steel machine under lock n key.....hit on #8....i get total respect coming down the road....and that courtesy is rendered bk as well....2 corvettes....mustang....and a hellcat....simultaneously at a 4 way....no one wasted anyone....total respect....hit on #9.....high performance etiquette....gotta respect these machines.... they're all business!
we only get 91 octane here in las vegas. my scat pack needs octane booster in the summer.
Damn, I love my R/T. Kind made it sound like they can't compete. I have done a few mods, long tube, intake, tune, etc. And I have had some luck with the SS, and SRT.
I agree with #9, I'm 24 in a 2023 scat pack it put a big target on our back with the cops. I got pulled over on the highway going 5 miles over the speed limit the cop told me to get off the highway then as he walking up his hand on his gun.
Man. I had to sell my 392 shaker challenger because I walked up on two people in my car at 2pm in front of a grocery store trying to steal it. Went to a mustang GT. It was a sad day but I love the mustang now.
Any recommendations for someone like me with a v6 challenger, that has dreams of owning a scat or higher? Trying to get my first v8 before ev is put in place and inline 6 is the only gas fed engine
Yeah I’ve noticed ever since I got a Charger, cops nail me for speeding that I always got away with in a econobox. Cops just following me, waiting for a hard pull. Totally sucks.
These vehicles are awesome. I have owned a widebody hellcat and a charger rt blacktop edition. They are both really unique in what they offer but definitely standout in the crowd. It is really to bad that these cars are being targeted by the good guys and the bad guys😒 Get them before they are gone and please keep them mint for the next generation. I don't think we will ever have cars like this again not at the average consumer level anyways. 797 horsepower for under 100k!!!! Thats a great deal no matter who you are!
What will i need to boost to 5 or 6 then? Will a pro charger be too much?
Hey question o bought a challenger scat pack shaker and it has around 480 miles on it I’m have some rear end thumping noises in the rear at lower speeds and when it kind between downshift… does your wife’s scat have any noises like this my dealership says scat packs and hellcats have some drive noises and it’s normal…. Lol I don’t know man..
Hey Mopar Community, can I get some info on the T6 as far as issues other than the 2nd gear skip issue? I find I have to really mash the clutch pedal even at a stop some times doesn't want to go into 1st or just rough shifting when rowing through the gears.
good content
Some one bumped my car an put a white scratch on the painter, any tips on how to remove paint, some one told me gasoline but im skeptical, friend also said soap an water, any tips would help. Im just glad he didnt scratch the paint..
Mr. X , any advice on how to compensate for weight on a 2019 Charger scat pack? I know mods don’t gain you much hp, but is there’s way to even out to the 2-door competition out there? I’d really appreciate any advice 🙏
He has a video on this from about a year ago
What would you say is the best octane booster? I only have access to 91.
Do you recommend 93 in the 5.7? I do 89 per the manual currently but I’d be willing to go up to 93 if it’s not just a waste
Are you saying only those with a garage should buy a V8 Hemi Charger or Challenger? What about using aftermarket security solutions?
