- In this video I show you the differences between the Challenger R/T and the Scat Pack. The difference in horsepower between the RT and scatpack is a boost of 100hp, but does it make a difference?

Hey bud just letting you know line lock only engages the front brakes to allow you to do a good burn out. Its a big thing in drag racing. It has nothing to do with suspension or driving in a straight line or whatever else you said. 👍🏼
Great video though brother!
"Whatever you said" 😂🤦🏿♂️
I noticed this later that I got that wrong! You are 100% correct
Lolol after he said that I came straight to the comments to see who all corrected him lolol. This was spot on. Good video though
Yeah. You can turn traction control on when in sport mode also. I wouldnt have left it off unless you're tryna slide around😂
I’m a 6’0, 280lb guy, I drive a 2021 RT charger and boy lemme tell you if you floor it, if you actually floor it, that RT will pull you backwards and force to swallow your saliva back in… RT has a lot of torque for the amount of horsepower it has, making it quite the snappy experience. It’s just the perfect balance of power, speed and torque for the streets, and you’d still be faster than 75% of the cars out there. So, if you want a daily driver that can get you past the yellow light from 60ft away in a blink and still have time to look back and realize the light is still yellow and witness it turn red while you’re across on the other side already, it’s a nice feeling. The RT is the perfect car for the job!
I got a 2015 392 challenger manual my god that thing gets slutty in a blink of an eye
Just got a 2020 challenger rt blacktop….I absolutely love it
Are you saying you go through a lot of yellow lights?
@@devdev7366😂😂
Hard to daily drive scat .
IF you don't race, the R/T is the way to go. It has the classic muscle car feel along with very similar numbers (0-60 and 1/4 ) compared to the first gen 440/426 engines. PLENTY of power. ALL on mid-grade fuel.
100%
My v6 camaro is faster than the rt
If u race its still the best way to go lmfao
@@ernestomcgrew8246mod the new 3.6 and it’s nothing to scoff at in the 6th gen
To each their own, but I love the 6.4 and in a loaded Scatpack it's perfection
It’s nice to be able to use mostly all the power of my 5.7 on the road I love scats and hellcats but I can’t justify needing something that’s fast for cruising. I like the sound over everything
Had a Helley, Scat, wayyy to much power for street legal and everyone wants to race.. Loke constantly, 93 only… Now I have 5.7, great for a daily, 89, and much happier with the simplicity.. Just my dopey opinion but a very entertaining review!
Get outta here. Nobody goes from a Hellcat to an RT and is happy about it. Stop capping.
@@beyondthedetails Well sir, I am very happy about it and I’m not Capping.. Hellcat just wasn’t for me. Sorry to disappoint you and the world of Hellcat owners. Just loving life in my 5.7 RT.
I recently acquired a 2016 hellcat to be a friend for my 2019 scat pack🎉to be honest I’m not in love with the hellcat, but it was a steal with 16,000
It does need new tires though, so it’ll be more fun with real tires, unfortunately it’s in for minor tweak on tranny. It’s been there for over a month, I just drove up there to make sure it was actually there, and INSIDE! We all know how easy it is to steal these cars. I was able to procure a 2023 shakedown, the black one -So Psyched!
Love my 2019 scat pack manny🎉🎉🎉❤
I just got mine brand new. I ain't complaining. . . It's fast and powerful yet, with just the right amount of control.
Just bought my 2022 RT challenger yesterday . Not looking to race just a bit of horsepower when I need so the 372 hp in the RT is enough for me …. 475 hp is too much for street legal anyways … will get my car in May so a few months of waiting … nice video 👌
i got a question so i just Just got my new car its a limited 2017 taurus, i love it, got it last July. on the first actually its fully loaded, i love the v6. Did the dealership have any problems with you trading in your new car for another one even though it wasnt all the way paid off for the note?
@@michaelwalker8870 hi ,,,, how that works is they give you a price $ for your car , example if they evaluate your car at 10k ,,,, so you have 10 k but if you owe still 15 k to pay on your car well you need to to cover the 5 from your pocket …. If for example they give you 20k for your trade in ,,,you owe in 15k on ur car still well you pay off the car and you pocket the extra 5 k ,,, simple as that ,,u usually try to get the most $ for your trade in ,,,
@@robertosan66677 hm ok cuz i was really eyeing that r/t challenger, i fell in love with it. but honestly speaking i love my taurus it doesnt hold back horsepower for safety its just the fact that its still a v6 and its a four door and i want a big coupe and from what i see in the reviews i really its a good comparison body wise they both and wide as hell, my limited came 255 wides lol well for the front the rear 245 wides which is kind of crazy cuz its not a performance vehicle but treated it like it was. but i care much more for the 5.7 even though im aware what im asking for, i still think its up my ally. and where you able to get your car?
Sounded like you could hear the R/T exhaust more than the scat pack.
Many say the 5.7 rt has more tune because of the 2.5 inch pipes..the scat with larger pipes is not as loud stock
No kidding. I was thinking the same. I used to own an R/T and LOVED that devilish exhaust sound of it. I can hear it out of this video, but not when listening to the scat pack's sound.
Yeah me and the wife have a 2020 challenger R/T and the active exhaust sounds amazing to be stock
I had a 2021 Scat , now a 2019 RT plus shaker. My RT is louder but might have a mid-muffler delete, I am the 2nd owner of the RT.
Just replace those stock library mids with Dynomax Race Bullets and you will definitely hear that HEMI. My 2019 RT sounds better than stock Hellcats :) Can't wait to put them on the Scat Pack upgrade.
The scat pack does come with the shiny pedals. They’re just not installed from the factory. I bought a 2020 scat and the metal pedals were in a box in the trunk and I had the dealer put them on.
my RT had them installed
same. 2020 scat and the pedals were in the trunk. the dealer were suppose to install them. however its an easy install
Same here. Got em too with my scat
Yup me too @@musiccoversbytee4002
Great video bro just bought me a scat pack waiting for it to be delivered appreciate the information!
6.4 all day
Tony I own a 2021 Rt scat pack pure fun to drive ❤ cant help but to smile every time I drive it only got 2000 miles on it.
I have a 20 Scat Pack. Frostbite blue. Love it. Thanks for the compare
I have a 2020 ScatPack with frostbite blue plus interior etching case stereo automatic and Blindspot monitoring which is the one option I’m really glad I got. It’s the one option I never thought I needed until I purchased this car.
Frostbite blue is my favorite color on the Challenger. I just bought a new '22 Frostbite R/T...waiting for it to be shipped.
Pro tip, in case it helps anyone, the inner headlight inserts can be easily popped out on any 2015+ model year challenger
2019 and up they don't pop out. There are 2 little screws holding them on and they are a bitch to get off.
@@garybishop4030not true. I had a 2019 GT and the lights came out just by pushing them. Now I have a 2019 RT Shaker and the lights pop out still
Maybe so, they don't on my 2020 and later
Thank you, very informative 👍🏼🏁
Great video. Very hilarious and very informative and fun to watch
Good comparison and video topic! I started with an RT Plus Shaker 6 speed, then upgraded to a 2021 Scat Pack Challenger with the 8 speed Torque Flight. No hate on the 5.7, great old school muscle, but In my experience, the performance is way better with the 392 in all aspects of driving.
If you get the T/A package on your Scat Pack, you will have a functional driver's side illuminated headlight (towards center of grille) that ducts air to the airbox, along with the Mopar Performance Hood that delivers ram air to an open element air filter that is sealed to the hood.
I know this is generational and I'm old (56), but I so much prefer the looks of the R/T over the Scat Pack (all that "blacked out" stuff just looks ugly to my eye). I wish they'd have offered the R/T with the option of the 6.4L.
One thing that's often missed in these reviews is that the Challenger is a tall person's muscle car. I'm 6' 5" (and long torso) and I don't fit comfortably in either the Mustang or the Camaro (and certainly not in the Corvette or other "sports" cars). The Challenger was literally my only V8 manual-6spd 2-door option (and only if it does NOT have a sunroof...sunroofs subtract at least 2 inches of head room).
Great video. I think the audio is misleading regarding the exhaust. The scatpack sounds plenty mean. Question, If you get the R/T with plus package and the upgraded interior is it the same seats as the base but covered with better materials or is it the larger bolsters that also come in the scatpack?
Great review 👏🏽
Awesome review I was cracking up 😆 🤣 😂
This dude is funny asf 😆😆
Real guys drive Mopars.."Dodge, the brotherhood of muscle"
I was actually dissatisfied with the Scat pack exhaust compared to the R/T
The smaller 2.5 pipes in rt sound better
yeah, everybody says that lol. The scat has a more throaty race sound to it, whereas the RT has more of an old school beefy muscle sound.
Cut the resonators off... problem solved
I actually agree, I’ve had mine 1 1/2 years and I have an appointment Wednesday for a mid muffler delete and I’m replacing them with vibrants, it show be a huge improvement.
I love my R/T that throaty sound gets me every time 😈🔥

@@1stockrt902 and I can tell you that from riding in a R/T and owning a redeye. Completely different experiences and different cars
Good review. 👍🏽
not a bad review my favorite part of the review is when you drop the f-bomb LOL
Holy Pickle Rick!!! Loved it great video lmao 😂
I’ve had the sxt for a year and change now. Love the car. This review was awesome. I was wondering whether to go to the r/t or the scat pack from the sxt. Amazing video but it made me a little torn now lol because the r/t sounded better but the scat pack has a lot more power for only 4K and it has eco mode. That’s crazy. I’m thinking I’ll keep my sxt for a bit longer and then trade it for a scat pack.
Man get the 392 it’s a no brainer Big 6.4 engine Srt package, leather seats, 6 piston brembo brakes, 180 on the dash, stop playing you go get laughed at in that 5.7
@@YusefAlim33 the main idea of why I’m leaning towards that is because the 392 has a eco mode that evens out the gas mileage almost of what the rt does.
@@jmkos86 yeah man i got a 2021 widebody T/A nasty, in eco mode definitely great gas mileage, the power is there when it’s needed in sport and everything opens up in track you won’t be disappointed you get most of the hellcat options except the engine
@@YusefAlim33 which I’m 100% ok without the hellcat engine lol. Can’t even use it anyways here in south Florida lol.
@@jmkos86 you right I’m in FL too much traffic, but 1 thing for sure it’s go many folks trying to race you lol
The RT is fun but the Scat Pack is BONKERS! Have driven both and 4k more for the 6.4 Hemi is a STEAL!
Yes Tru I will rather have 6.4
Not with Covid prices lmao
@@marcosrod7260 lol gas gone kill you
@@ms1406 for real 💀
I have both and I totally disagree. If you want to race get the scat pak. If you want a everyday car get the r/t hemi. It’s not worth the extra money unless you want to race
My 2016 scat pack 392 with a shaker hood in plum crazy purple with a six speed manual transmission has the shiny upgraded pedals.
I think it’s how you option the car when you order it or when you get it but I’m not sure.
@Shermen TheBurban sick man, got any plans for it???
I am doing a throwback to the early challengers, the best I can.
*camera falls* “fuck u” had me dead
I thought he said F U, an annoying youtube commercial came on right after so I had to watch it again. Never laughed so much during a car review lol
Now that's gnarly!!!
Own a 2018 had to put 275’s to stay on road but love it 20k ........
Line lock allows you to lock the front wheels and do burnouts
My 2020 Challenger RT has air induction vents on inner lights. Just some FYI
For amyone wondering, the SXT doesn't have functional vents. They're just plastic covers lol and I believe that the Scatpack does have the openings in the lights but one of them just has a deep plug in the engine bay while the other is open (you can see curved portion of the plug on the passenger side light) but i do think they driver side does have an opening, just not directly into the intake. Great review dude!
I have the scat pack in the hole goes all the way through on the headlight.
Yes but not to the intake unless you have the T/A.
I have a 2021 scatpack challenger with the shaker hood. Both inner headlight openings were capped off. I ordered the air inlet part to connect it to the air box from Harper jeep ram in Alcoa TN. 60.00, has Mopar stamped on it.
Yea I ordered mine from Mopar and the dealer installed it. It's basically the Hellcat cold air tube.
I have a 2020 Challenger Scat Pack convertible. Love it to death. It's Octane Red and boy does it turn heads.
In the options for the modes you have traction control on, doesn’t have to be off
Both great cars and engines. Can’t go wrong either way. I’d prefer the scat pack just because of the extra power but both are amazing
Bro really got in a scat pack and said “lemme try eco mode”😂
You are hilariousssss!! I'm sold!!!
I have no idea why they would put 245s on a 485hp car. My v6 Charger has the same size tires. I ordered a Scatpack that will be in next week. First thing im doing is a tire upgrade.
275 or more would do fine. 245 should be illegal
I drove the RT before I bought my 2018 392 challenger T. A. The RT was just not enough for me. I have since traded in my 392 for a hellcat. And It's definitely overkill, but I love every minute of driving that car, It is a blast. To me the best pick is the Scan pack, Once you get used to the power you can use all of the power efficiently and it is a lot of fun to drive .......🚗 And that is coming from the Hellcat owner. Have fun with the one you pick.
Hey man the scat pack having the black fuel door and spoiler were from the black top package its available in all trims
2:01 "That's because it has 485 Whxxxorespower!"
Wide body is where it's at! The 305's REALLY help get the power down. If you have the cash, the stock rims can fit up to 315's (maybe bigger). Get a pair of summer-stickies and watch what that thing can do!
I got the narrow body to be true to the look of the 70 car that I like, it is a benefit as the big tires slow it down a lot and kill the MPG. You are right summer performance tires stick so I launch just fine and get 26 MPG with cruse on. (six speed stick shaker Scat Pack)
@bailey9r I had a narrow body r/t but have a widebody scat 6speed manual I would never ever get a narrow body again 305s and fender flares make it sooo sexy grips like virgin pussy 😂
I have a 2020 challenger scatpack and I love it. I just wish it came with 275 on the rear tires. Those 245’s will have you skating 😂
5:33 Strange! My 2016 Skatpack has the race Pedals. Not sure why your skatpack has the V6 Pedals.
I bought a RT 7years ago ! And now I want say that extra 100HP worth over 20000
The savings on insurance, gas, and mfrp the r/t is fun on the road as a daily driver. Put a $800 150hp nitrous wet plate on it in case you ever meet a scat at a red light 😂. 6.4 intake with active runners for $800 isn’t a bad investment either.
I'm guessing the eco mode on the Scat Pack just holds it in 4-cyl mode for a lot longer. IOW, you're driving a 3.2L 4-cylinder Challenger most of the time in that mode...until you really step on it.
And when you step on it.... You know it is not an R/T...pushes you back in your seat pretty hard. It will put a big smile on your face.lol
Eco mode lowers the throttle response, the transmission starts in 2nd gear, the exhaust valves stay shut, and yes the engine will switch to 4 cylinder mode. It keeps you from driving like a Jerk. But all you have to do is push the gas a little bit harder and the car will go back to normal.
Yeah I’m gonna need that scat, test drove an r/t yesterday and I’m not impressed. Love the car, but need more powa 💥 but stock exhaust is pretty damn impressive, all though it’s not as loud on acceleration as I thought it’d be
Nikita Samsonov what car were you coming from? I’m in the market for an 11-14 challenger RT or 11-14 mustang v6, but I do like the mustang interior more, which would you say is the better buy? Especially for longevity until I buy a big bad V8? Is the R/T worth over the 3.7? I’m also used to Mustang size since I’m coming from the 4.0
QUEEZY for longevity I’d say go with the mustang v6 because if anything happens it’s cheaper to fix. If you’re gunning for a v8 then settle for a new one, just my opinion.
QUEEZY even on the interior of the new challengers it’s not that good compared to stangs but I’m copping a challenger because first of all the price is almost similar to a brand new 5.0 and in a scat you’re getting a 6.4 , much better sounding even on stock, more room inside, stangs are tiny inside in my opinion , and overall a challenger looks more aggressive than a stang
Nikita Samsonov kinda what I was thinking and your opinion basically confirmed that hahah, I appreciate that! I do love the mustangs aftermarket support 💪🏽
Nikita Samsonov yeah that’s what kinda leaves me ina tough spot hahaha newer scats are out out of my range and even if I had the dough I know I could get a new 5.0 for a little less and used less gas, easier to drive etc. as MUCH as I love to challengers, the Mustangs 11-14 or 18-20 always seem to be the better buy 😂
I hope these aren't new dealership cars because you just blew the suggested break in period for both cars.
For the first 100 miles
• Depress the accelerator pedal slowly and not more than halfway to avoid rapid
acceleration.
• Avoid aggressive braking.
• Drive with the engine speed less than 3,500RPM.
• Maintain vehicle speed below 55mph(88km/h) and observe local speed limits.
I wouldn't want to buy either from you.
Relax break in period police.. the cars are fine. I have a widebody scatpack and while I didn't necessarily beat on it.... I didn't feather it either the first 500 miles and she's fine.
Be you are a hoot at parties. Rules are made to be broken. In the first 50 miles I had my R/T over 130 mph. That was over two years ago. No issues what so ever. Break it in like you are gong to drive it.
When it’s your car treat it as you will. Myself, I wouldn’t want someone “Reviewing a car I was going to purchase the way these were”. I watched mine come off the truck and broke mine in the way indicated In the manual.
@@scat392wb5 That's the way to go...
Wait...I was supposed to baby my car when it was new?.....Oops lol
I got a R/T and instead of spending a extra $15,000 for scat pack. I put a twin turbo on my R/T ran me some $$$ , let me tell you twin turbo been killing the scat pack and hellcat.
Any videos?
Wish it had the Sepia Laguna leather option... but I am not paying 30 grand more (CDN) ...plus I can't use all 700+ without..well.. going backwards into a tree!...
Hate that they wont offer it on other trims
@@Stringerbe11 I had to make due with the Caramel interior option lol.
Dude sounds and reminds me of the main character in the movie 40 year old virgin smashing the gas 😂😂😂
Your "fuck you" was not edited. 😅😊
The thing is I'm getting a 5.7 hemi but the thing is you can add a couple of things to 5.7 and make it just as fast as a 6.4 hemi
Why not just get the 6.4 hemi then? It's like 3-5k more. You'll end up spending more boosting a 5.7 to match a 6.4.
No you can’t. Go ahead and buy one though and try
Hahaha.... ok, if you say so.
You totally could scat pack owners salty ...
@@scottieodle7606 You can totally match a 5.7 to a 6.4 with the correct mods. The problem is it's going to be thousands of dollars. Would save money just getting a scatpack.
Personally I think RTs sound better...my Borla ATAK MUFFLERS...and stock XPIPE and staggered quad tips sound menacing
Lol I be trying to tell ppl that the RT sound better than the scatpack especially the challenger scatpack, but idk about the rest but I know the 19 RT Charger and challenger sounds better then the challenger scatpack.
@@Mr-fl8rj the 2019 rt 5.7 is different monster when it comes to brutal sound and I’m talking about stock not even exhaust work.
@@pnellyvlogzztrue
I'm probably in the minority on this, but, aesthetically speaking, the rims on that R/T are my favorite of ANY of the ones available on other Challengers/Chargers...that includes Hellcats and Demons.
What year is this challenger cause mine is a 2015 and I have them head light with the wholes
And the Scar Pack had the plugs in them, it wont do any extra colling unless you pull the plugs out!!
To all challenger haters. 16:44 is for you
Most of the time when racing I judge the cars I race by the tires they are running. Many times I looked at there tires and could tell if they had a chance or not.
You do know that all models headlight lenses pop out? Even the SXT they're just clip one. You literally just go in from the back unclip them and that's it.
Yes I did this to my CHALLENGER RT 18”
On pre 2020 models
Ill have about 800lb of speakers and enclosure in the tunk/ rear deck (ill cut out) will it help handling
Yea but slow it down
Had r/t and scat pack widebody 392 manual you can give the r/t a 4 car lengh head start and that scat will run up on it like a locomotive and leave the r/t in the wind😂 when r/t runs out of steam around 120 the scat will pull hard til about 160 then slow up thats the difference 😂
“Fluffy pancakes”
😭😭😭😭😂
R/T with handling and performance packages handles like Scat. :)
You definitely need wider stickier tires out back. I put 295 nittos on my Scat Pack. And still can't put all the power down.
Did they fit on the stock 9" wheels?
Yeah I was thinking about tires prior to my scat pack upgrade this month. I have 315's on the rear of my 2019 RT and I spin while making a right turn from a full stop position. (Cheap Atturo tires) I heard drag radials might provide some level of stickiness?
@@garybishop4030 275 is highest recommended I've seen for the 9".
Gt has AWD too
I've had a 2022 R/T for about 3 months now and I love it. That being said, I kind of wish I had ordered a Scat. One thing I'd point out is that a few difference you mentioned are merely a matter of options. The shiny pedals should come with either car in the trunk, to be installed by the owner. Also, the rims are a matter of options. The silver rims tell me the R/T is not heavily optioned. They are both sweet cars no matter what!
Really? Bought the Wide Body Shaker hood Scat Pack; because why not!
Deeper pockets than me!😄
You're hilarious dude lol
This dude is funny 😂😂😂
I luv my scattie
Have a 2020 Scat 28:59 Pack. Is the only one I’ve ever driven. Not sure is ever need more power. It’s perfect
R/T 5.7 vs R/T 392 6.4
My 2024 RT has the intake lights
The R/T has the same horsepower the 440 had in the old Chargers
I can’t decide between a scatpack or a mustang
i got the scatpack as my first car
Those are pedal covers that have to be put on FYI.
Hi .. i need help. I have question about one camaro 1992 350 small block. I want to know here is location the crankshaft sensor position because I looking for but I can see.. tanks for you answer
The Scat Pack has a larger (numerical) speedo that ends at 180 instead of 160 mph.
Really? Bought the wide body shaker hood scat pack because why not.
My 2019 rt came with 4 piston brembo brakes
Be ready to pay up
@@sendit3251 yea
You got the performance handling package
Both with auto trans, Scat has 113 more hp, not "about" 100 hp more.
You're confused about Line Lock. The ONLY thing it does is lock the front brakes only when it is on, so that it is easier and quicker to smoke the rear tires. That's ALL it does. It did come from drag racing but has NOTHING to do with keeping the vehicke straight. That's the driver, stability control, and traction control that helps with this, not Line Lock. You may want to read the owner's manual online before informing people incorrectly, as i see that other people have called you on it. No big deal. Just familiarize yourself a little more.
I bought a brand new r/t last year, and honestly you get bored I should of went to a scat instead. But for the price the r/t is a good daily driver.
You'll get bored with the scat then want a hellcat. My friends are at least
In my opinion, I have test driven ( somewhat aggressively) a new 2019 Scat Challenger and was impressed. But based on ALL the you tube vids, the sane ( smart) vehicle to buy ( for me) is the RT. Great looks and V8 sound. Comfortable ( smoother) ride, cheaper to buy, insure, and maintain. Good power and acceleration especially if you are going from a V6, front wheel drive sedan with a mere 205 hp and 230 ft lbs of torque. I'm retired and on a fixed income ( but I'm no old codger!). I still ride a mid-low 10 second sportbike. Going from a mid-high 15 second 1/4 mile time sedan , to a car capable of mid to high 13 seconds is a SUBSTANTIAL improvement! Plus, recent prices on tires have really increased.
Mod it.. these cars weren't meant to be kept stock
My rt doesn’t have performance pages anyone know why?
It's optional on that car
Whoopi pancakes
23:59 nigga what?!😆🤦🏿♂️
Ryan Reynolds vibes
You need to drive a PRIUS 🤣🤣
You're not entirely wrong.
Fastest charger in the world right now on youtube is a R/T 1350+ HP 😎
When the warranty is over all this high tech crap will cost a small fortune to keep going. High tech comes with a huge bill and try and find someone that knows how to fix it.
Both are RT badging
I have a 2015 challenger rt plus shaker coupe/700hp runs high 9,s 155 mph1/4 mile
200 mph 1 mile. 5.7 / big bore /406
Dude, if you have no idea what a line lock does (and you don't) don't guess.
