2019 Dodge Challenger T/A: Was I Given A Fake?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 фев 2022
- I’ve seen a few of these Challengers riding around boasting the “T/A” insignia subtlety on the front fender and I never really knew what differentiated them from the regular R/T, Scat Pack, SRT-8 and Hellcat trim levels. Well now I know and I truly believe it’s worth the upgrade, not only for the visual upgrades, but for the performance ones as well.

I've never seen a T/A with a closed off airbox, usually that hood scoop feeds a open element filter. And the tail lights are customized, they are usually standard Challenger.
Well damn. What the Hell did the rental car company give me then?!
@@TheHungryRoad maybe they purchased it second hand, its possible they brought it in for service and dodge recommended a closed filter box if the car was going to be a rental? I'm not sure I know its a T/A but Im just confused on these things lol
@@YGSpider. You’re right. I’m just confused now. I feel like I put out a bullsh*t video if this thing really is customized, but I can’t wrap my head around a rental car company buying a customized car. It just doesn’t make sense.
@@TheHungryRoad Might have been wholesale and they wanted cars to rent out quickly and picked up like 10 or 20 cars. It's strange for a rental car company to have a T/A at all as the package is about 4000$ It's just strange to me that the air filter was swapped out for a closed in airbox as the T/A comes with the Hellcat style duct and that hood scoop seals against the box to create a ram air effect.
@@YGSpider. Something is fishy…
I have a 2018 T/A 392 and I have the direct air flow from the hood scoop to the air intake box in addition to the driver side headlight intake vent. The stock 275 wheels are not wide enough for the rear tires. At 30 mph I could smoke the rear tires for roughly 50 feet easy. I put 315's on the rear and now the rear tires wont brake loose at 15 mph. That equal better 0-60 times. Let me tell ya it's no fun having all that HP and not able to put it to the ground. Hail to the T/A. RESPECT THE POWER.
Amen to that! I WISH I could try one of those out!
Nice trans am my friend love it on white I get a lot of compliments on my scat as well keep up the content 💪
Thank you for watching!
My Challenger T/A Plus is F8 with a 6 speed and only 3 of them this color with a 6 speed were made it just turned 20,000 miles and has never been in the snow. I love this car and get people stopping me all the time wanting to look at it.
It sounds beautiful! Do you have an Instagram account? I’d love to take a look at it!
45 seconds In and I already know where your at lol. Went to school at pia. Hope to see you around!
Lol. I’m in Pittsburgh quite often. I appreciate you! Drop some restaurant recommendations when you get time! I do food reviews as well.
Im with you 100 percent the sound is KEY
The sound is the soul of the car! It’s the only voice it has to speak with!
Always notification here!
Good review on a sweet American Muscle Car! I've owned a 2020 RT Plus Shaker 6 speed for a few years now. Brembo Brakes, Bilstein Performance Suspension, etc, and no regrets... Smiles per mile, plus you can mod them to be insane down the line. Winter is no problem for me either man, undercoat and good tires...
See! You get me! These cars are fun all year around!
@@TheHungryRoad My grandfather drove a Grand Torino year round, for many years... That's where I learned, undercoat and good tires, and just drive easy in bad conditions.... He never had an accident with that nasty car ..lol
I have a 2021 Widebody Challenger 392 Scat Pack T/A in Gold Rush, but what I noticed or didn't notice was the white faced gauges. The T/A edition should come with whit face gauges like the original models. I have the Alcantara/Nappa leather interior with the T/A stitched in the seats, but I believe they come standard with the houndstooth cloth.
It sounds like you have an amazing spec! I definitely think the one National Car Rental gave me was a fake. Lol.
T/A’s have 3 models: T/A, T/A Plus and T/A 392. I think you had the lowest model, just a T/A.
Also the seats would be Napa leather in a T/A plus, along with a 1000 watt 19 speaker sound system, and an 8” screen to name a few.
I appreciate you! It was hard to tell what I actually had since I didn’t run the VIN and didn’t have a window sticker. Thank you for that though! I apologize if I misspoke in the video.
@@TheHungryRoad All good Plair! No apologies needed here. I'm just sharing like you.
I thought T/A's had sunroofs too. Maybe it's only the Plus and the 392...
Anywayz, good review Bro and thank you! Keep them coming.
Lol that's what I got the regular TA with no TA stich on the seats
@TheHungryRoad it doesn't have the white gauges its an rt with a hood and stripes
@tatsuhirosatou5513. They got me good. Lol. Or they got the rental car company good. 😂
Holy crap man, owner of a redline red 2018 T/A 8spd , just looked it up and it's one of THREE produced that year ...the T/A really is a rare bird
SHEEESH! Rare indeed! Thanks for looking that up for me!
Thats a really nice car! Wow
Dope review
Thank you dude. I appreciate that.
Just traded my 17 charger rt for a 21 t/a 392 yesterday.. huge power difference.. its amazing...
Congratulations on making the trade! I hope that you got a great deal on it and that you enjoy it! Thank you so much for watching!
That's a regular R/T that someone put T/A decals and did the satin black panels. Seats aren't alcantara, seats don't say T/A, wheels are not TA and it's missing the TA Mopar airbox.
I think you’re right! They changed the lights too!
Notif squad 💕💕💕
Hate to break this to you but your TA might be a fake. They did make 339 yes. But all TAs came with the TA embroidered seats. They also did not have the tail lights you have.
I think you’re right and it’s so crazy. Lol. Like, this came from the National Rental Car company in Pittsburgh. Like, how they serving fake cars?! 😂
What ever dealership you got it from they swamp the rims and intake you got the regular RT rims , the TA cold air intake is from Mopar
It came straight from National Rental Car in Pittsburgh, PA. Lol. This is wild.
@@TheHungryRoad its all good the Mopar CAI is about 400$ get that and you be in good shape 👌
I know bigger screen comes with plus package ,,should come with ta for the price ,,nice car man ,,I just bought one ,,picking up next week, cant wait
Congratulations! I’m excited for you! Thank you for checking out the video!
Awesome car🔥
Have a 2019 T/A 392 Scat Pack w/ 8-speed auto in B5 Blue...waited awhile for it to come along and had to snap it up. Lowered it with Eibach's, as I didn't like the factory gap. Replaced the off brand tires with B.F. Goodrich G-Force Comp 2 A/S 275/40R/20's and made a big difference in handling. Strictly nice weather only and have done some car shows...not many around.
Your car sounds beautiful! Congratulations on it! Thank you for watching!
Its amazing how mankind survived the pre-front wheel drive era.
🤣🤣🤣 Good driving skills is how!
I have a 17 T/A and something isn't right with that car. Why doesn't the air from the hood feed right into the Hellcat like air box? Yours is covered by some 3rd party CAI. Also I believe the UConnect 8.4 radio is an upgrade. Doesn't matter if it's a 345 or 392. Kinda looks like a converted R/T or maybe had front end damage? You can easily get the build sheet to confirm. Either way, nice car.
Yeah, it was a rental from National at the Pittsburgh International Airport and I believed they’d have the integrity to have “real” versions of cars there, but I think this is a fake.
I have a 2018 T/A I bought new it is F8 green with a six speed and it has an open air filter the filter is blue. When I push the sport button I can feel the car go faster.
Hartford hammer down here he comes 😎
great car great video
Thank you very much for checking it out!
"Back up camera is okay.... its actually trash" 😂
I rarely script anything in these reviews so sometimes my opinion on something can change right in the moment. 😂
I opt out for the TA being 10k more than what i got for the R/T blackout edition 2022. Didn't seems to be more special for my taste lol.
As from what I discovered during my filming of this video, I’d have to agree with you!
@TheHungryRoad well the 2022 R/T blackout edition had most of the features you showed in your video. The only thing that I didn't get is the upgraded breaks. Mine being manual I really didn't feel like I'm losing a lot. My car stops pretty well. But yeah I almost got the T/A till I found that there's a dealer out of town that has a cheaper version of it lol. Plus my soon to be EX wife has thar T/A initial that will makes me look like obsessed of her 😆
@@ghostchicken69. Lol. Well damn. I hear that!
That's not the weather you want to five that car in. I test drove a challenger scat last week, a 2018, low mileage. Not a car for the unwise or fools. I prefer it without the stripes/black hood/roof. Just not my thing. It needed wider rubber. The 245s are a joke. I had no issues burning rubber at will or sometime not. Car needs 305s, 275s min. The only annoying thing was the sat/nav telling me the speed limit every time I went quicker than the speed limit.
I've never had the chance to experience the 392 engine, but I really want to. They're super popular where I'm from and "cheap" to get. Lol. Dodge has the winning formula for getting the cars out there. You're right about the weather though and I'm pretty sure that's why the car was still available. People are scared of it in that weather, but wider tires would definitely help.
@@TheHungryRoad They aren't cheap here. They wanted 45,9 for a 2018 with 9900 miles. Octane Red. I offered 43,7 and didn't get a response. I'll keep looking.
@@my.motorrad. Yeah, I think they’re still inflated because of the market.
ive driven RWD and FWD cars, in the US and other countries(military), and as long as you have tires for snow its not much difference. the tires is what makes it. winter tires have more , i forget, in the winter so they stay softer at low temps so they grip better. dont worry about a RWD in snow.
I 100% agreed. It’s the driver and the tires that really make the winter driving experience.
2nd notif gang
What color red was that ?
I can’t remember off the top of my head. I may have mentioned the color in the video.
Redline Red Tri-coat
Do they rent Hellcats? 😛
Some locations actually will!
Isn't those cloth seats tho ?🤨
Lol. I think so. Why?
Cloth seats don't have heated options i maybe be wrong tho
@@nolimit6031 the heated seats and steering wheel were part of the cold weather package in like 2018 but now they are standard. I have a heated steering wheel and heated cloth seats in my 2021 T/A 392.
iHave a 2017, my infotainment is the bigger screen
Yeah, I feel like I was given a fake one.
dodge challenger t/a has white speedometer
Yeah, we’ve figured it out. Lol.
Brah my 2018 screen bigger than that u must got the basic one and judging by the no smoking signs it was a rental car
Lol. Yes, it is 100% a rental car, as I stated in the video, but I’m glad you got the bigger screen. Do your taillights look like the ones in the video? There’s been a lot of speculation saying that I must’ve been given a fake T/A.
It's post to have a super track mode also next to the sport
@@nolimit6031. Yeah, mine was definitely a fake T/A. It was probably an R/T with T/A stickers.
This ur personal car ?
I don't have ta seats to tho mines cloth
Damn I don't think it's real 😢😢😢😢
Yeah. That’s been determined. Lol.
T/A stands for trans am addition ,
Really? I swore it was Trans America, but thank you for correcting me!
@@TheHungryRoad Nope, Trans TM for Trans Am racing. Pontiac owned the name at the time so Dodge went with T/A.
Trans am is short for Trans America, He is right
1st
This TA is fake
Yeah, we’ve concluded that. I filmed the video without knowing it was fake, but then retitled the video after it had been up for a while and speculation had begun.
Definitely a fake
This is not a real T/A
Yeah, we have determined that.
