When you own 392s Or HellCats its not about miles to the gallon its about SMILES to the gallon.
Dead 💀

REAL TALK🤣🤣🤣🍻
Facts
I pay way too much money for my car, gas,, and insurance but the therapy it provides is priceless.
It is amazing how you drive a car you really love and everything that pissed you off or got under your skin just seems to go away.
Patrick Cooper couldn’t relate more almost a high that you get of taking a drive late at night on a good weather day
Well said bro. @leftu
My kind of therapy haha
Amen brother
“If you got a fast car drive it! Drive the heck out of it!” 😂 the realist thing I’ve heard a car enthusiast say. I hate these slow driving muscle car owners.
Every corvette owner lol
@@glockmodder that's why Corvettes are always in good condition go ahead a buy a used Dodge you see how people dog the hell out of them I wish like hell I would by a used hellcat 392 or scat pack all people do is burnouts because from a dig those Vettes will crush them right out the whole
I worded that a little wrong a little
@@seankeys5384 i will drive anything that has a motor.. except smart cars they only have 3 lug nuts and thats not cool doing 150+ also not a prius either 🦄💨
Yesss they be slow driving ,i be at the back screaming swing that bitch
You own a Prius & a Hellcat...you must be Bi-Polar
I went from a Challenger to a Prius and I'm on here just to keep my sanity until I can save up for another Challenger.
#LifeGoals!!!
Haha Good one!
I have a Hemi GTX vert and a fiat 500e. Im not bi polar. Just know when to drive which car.
Do Avis/enterprise ever use the challenger as a Rental car??? I've done Sports car twice n got the camaro(I have no preference between camaro/mustang) but would have loved the challenger for the 1 day rental
It is a person that is not stuck on themselves. They care about other people, but come race day or any day their in that cat it's like flipping a switch. You gotta have a little fun now and then or you will go crazy.
Lol I find it funny how some people dont understand how fast 485 Horsepower is for daily driving. I drove a hellcat before and yes it is stupid fast in straight line but honestly its just unusable power for the everyday driver. Scat pack is the perfect medium
Vincent Farrell that’s exactly how I feel, plus everyone is gonna wanna race you if you get the Hellcat and you’ll be blowing through gas HELLA fast.
James Even with the Scat Pack people are going to try you. Constantly. Plus it’s a N/A 6.4L. Can’t beat the sound. It’s more then enough lol
Yeah its all about manageable, useable power. Scat packs are in the sweet spot. I do wish dodge had bumped it up to 500 before I got mine.
flipfloplogic yea I agree. If they got it up to 500hp or so that would be perfect N/A. That 700 HP in the hellcat makes up for the heavy weight., so it still feels really fast.
@@vincentfarrell9241 Oddly enough I often get guys in trucks that try me other performance car drivers usually leave me alone. I live near a highway and what makes me laugh is when someone sees me outside washing my car and suddenly floors the gas but only long enough to drive past my house. I don't even bother to look.
I look at it like this. The RT is great if you would normally be buying aa Accord, Camry, Or any of the base Euro sedans, the RT is an awesome choice and has a way bigger trunk , bigger seats and is way more fun and feels more powerful. Also since the RT is only lowered a 1/2 inch more than a SXT, you can still drive it if you live somewhere with potholes and snow covered roads like northern Pennsylvania. The other thing is regular gas which saves me some $s. If I lived in a state with good roads and cheap gas I’d be driving a Scat.
I like my RT. I don't really drive over 90 at anytime. But I do like to get there pretty quick. I do want some more power. Once the warranty is up I'm going to Whipple charge it. So I'll be close to 500 hp and have lower insurance. It's a give and take for each situation like you said.
5.7 enough for daily, for me
Agreed just turned eighteen gonna pick up a 2013 rt
Mine is 6.2 460hp. The only bad part about it, is it gas goes up it woul cost me s fortune to drive because I can only put high octane in it.
I agree. My 5.7 is powerful enough to get my licence suspended.
5.7 s just don’t have high top end but lots of torque. 135mph with a governor is just pitiful for a 370 hp car. My avenger maxes at 120 MPH and other cars like the Toyota camary will do 120/130 ish. That’s why the R/at is frowned upon. The scatpack/ Hellcat aren’t electronically governed.
@@nick__cars for guys like me who don't go to the track or race I don't need more than 375hp. If I ever decide to upgrade id go straight to the hellcat. But realistically I do like my rt very much.
I have a 2019 Scat Pack widebody and I absolutely love it! I looked at the Hellcat and just couldn't bring myself to spend over 80k on a car. I had a 2018 R/T and I've driven a Redeye and I'll stick with my Scat. Another awesome video, thank you.
Hows the power?
@@frankr2584 I have a 22 Challenger Scat WB Shaker in a 6 Speed. It's nearly 500 HP, my dude... with an equal serving of torque... I got no complaints in the power department.
Every swingin' dick still wants to race you though.
@@frankr2584 Pretty good defiantly best bang for your money.
I love my 392 Scat Pack, I drive it everyday, even when I have no where to go, I just hop in and go.
Lol I do the same!
I do the same thing Love my Scat pack Charger
I’ve been looking for buying the challenger version. Is it worth getting the scat pack?
@@Danny10_01 the scat pack is the best balance of performance and value, no question.
Got a charger scat and I love this thing. I look for places to go.
Bought my R/T in January 2020 only have 400 miles on it. It looks fast just sitting in my garage lol
Glad I watched this thank you. I have a 2016 sxt Challenger bought it when I was 19 (with no help) 23 now and ready to upgrade! Looking at a new scatpack shaker 😍. With this pandemic going on my facility has been having me go in 6 days a week because we are short staffed nurses so that helped me save up a decent portion already, I'm so excited 😭
I've gotta say, from an economical standpoint at the very least, this was the most informative video I've seen on any of the current muscle car reviews recently posted. Super helpful and much appreciated!
I total agree with you, I used to have a 2018 Scat Pack Charger and I loved that car but of course was just itching for more power so went with the Hellcat Charger. After having the Hellcat for about a year its true the scat pack is the most bang for the buck. When driving around I want to always just mash the gas in the hellcat but here in California (Pre-quarantine) is always traffic and just nowhere for me to use the power unless I track it but as a daily just eats up gas like crazy Avg is about 11 to 12 mpg. Scat pack is the perfect balance of price and power!
I had my rt first and loved it, but it getting wrecked was a blessing it made me prepare to buy my helical. Stay safe 🙏🙏💯💯
Hey Just ran across your RUclips channel for the first time. Love your energy and optimism for sure bro. I drive a 5.7 but Scat is kind of my dream car right now just because I know the hellcat is so impractical lol. But thanks man your video made me lock in wanting the scat pack all the way ! Keep up the great videos ! You’ve got my subscription lol
Scatpack widebody is the way to go with these indeed,it’s the same car as the Hellcat but without the supercharger. 30-35k less money here in Canada,and half the price of a red eye,I have one in black awesome car. 👍
I have the same 6speed its in my profile picture it is a pure beast!!!
Hellcat has smaller displacement than the scat packs. Scat packs have a 6.4 motor the hellcats have a 6.2.
Had a SXT back in 2015, got shitted on every time with the why didn’t you get a V8. Mind you I had an 05 Chrysler 300 C Hemi that was killing my wallet doing 120 miles per day. However, I waited and didn’t mind what people had to say and now that I’m comfortable on what I can afford I picked up a Scatpack Widebody and it’s the best all around in the line up.
Love the hustle bro
You drove 120 miles a day?
congrats bro. Iv got the same thing in B5 Blue. its an absolute joy
I am floored I’m in the exact same process right now. I’m driving my 300 100’s almost everyday. Just bought the 3.6l challenger. I’m going to get a 6.XL real soon
I made a similar mistake, I bought an SXT then a R/T and finally a ScatPack all within one year because I was trying to go cheap. I love my ScatPack, it is the best car I have ever owned. I daily drive it but my round trip to work is only 30 miles. Fill up about once every 6 or 7 days.
Welcome to the club! Once Dodge gets you in the family they sure know how to pull us up the line. Lol 👍👍
SCAT PACK FOR LIFE 6.4 the super bee
That’s really good on gas, you must baby the crap outta that pedal lol, I drive 70 miles a day and fill up every 4-5 days on my 19 Charger RT.
Lyons RT 70 miles a day damn where the hell yall be driving far for work
Miko_Pure , I know, I put the miles on that car. I need like a Dodge Dart or something to daily drive lol
Thanks for the sound advice! Saving up a Scat Pack Challenger! God bless you!
I’m sooooo happy I came across this page! You’re a veteran, s am I and you are like me... YOU GET STRAIGHT TO THE POINT!!
I bought my dream car. 2013 plum crazy Superbee with 28,000 miles on it but it’s plain because I have a kid getting ready for college. But as soon as she’s outta here, I am doing the 10 things you recommend in your video! I’m so excited!
I love how unlike a lot of other reviews out there that I've seen, you actually factor in the cost of ownership. I'm looking at a challenger for a daily driver and commuter, so in my case I'd be a lot more inclined towards the Scatpack due to things like insurance, fuel costs, maintenance costs and good ol' depreciation. For my situation, things like that are a little more important than the whole "this one has this kind of track suspension setup and that's why you should spend $25,000 more on it" lol
I used to work for a dodge dealership and you are SPOT ON with your analysis.
I just subscribed because of this video. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I spent 2 years with my scatpack already and honestly I feel like it's not the car for me, I need something more I need a Redeye 😁
New to your vlogs. Think they’re great. Own a 2019 grand sport and have been thinking of adding a challenger to my garage. Now really considering it. Gonna check out a scat pak next week.
Thanks for the great content.
Another great video 👍 love my scat pack! Gotta admit if I had the money, it would be hard to pass up that RedEye. But for now I'm gonna go detail my scat pack for the 10th time since the quarantine began and drive it around a bit 😂
The Redeye eats through gas and tires like a termite eats through wood. Man I still have my 2014 Charger R/T with 75K on the odometer. Not even thinking about switching.
My favorite year for chargers 💪🏽 I kinda feel the same way, like I’ll be good with Ana R/T lol it’s still fast and looks just as good and still v8
the R/Ts are really the sweet spot in my opinion
Same here i have a 2017 Challenger RT and im not switching for nothing!
BTNH TL thats the one I want17-19 🙏🏽 yeah 392s are awesome but realistically way overkill lol at least for my driving experience and don’t need a gas guzzler lol. Don’t even wanna think about the insurance
@@Quintolloo exactly, i dont need so much horse power here in miami with all the traffic, i dont need to impress anyone, with my 2017 RT im all set, dont need nothing else!
The video started with a Hellcat, and a burnout. Two of my favorite things. Youve earned yourself a new subscriber 😈🤘
This is your 2nd video I've watched. Love the contents and subscribed! I am currently driving a V6 and going to upgrade soon. I was so certain I was gonna get a hellcat, but after watching this review, I think ScatPack is enough for my daily driving. Just that, I really like the hellcat logo.
I learned to get what i want i really want even if i have to wait one more year or longer but it Would have saved me alot of money in the process!
I agree my 2015 Scat Pack is awesome to drive it is a 6 speed manual . It's so much fun
James Longobardo Challenger i see good choice!
Well, they said you can get base price c 8 for around 60,000. I can swing that but thats about it. Probably 65000. So I may be looking at a used one. I have been lucky over the years because my dad retired from GM. I got 10,000 off on my z71 exrm cab. After I paid it off, I told my wife 8 was going to dou NJ k÷
After I paid off truck I told her I was going to double up.on house payments.but I didnt. I bought the SS CAMARO YELLOW WITH BLACK STRIPES AND SLL BLACK NL LESTHRR LMO
Exactly..l wanted a Challenger for several years, but waited until I could get an SRT8 and that way there are no regrets
Great video I'm shooting for the hellcat I love my 5.7 but me personally i didnt feel the scatpack was that much of a difference than my 5.7. So I'm being patient and working on my credit to get me a slightly used hellcat. Like you said if I wasn't a youtuber the scatpack would be plenty but I need that hellcat for my business 😁💨💨🔥💯💪
Scat pack is significantly different then the r/t the sxt is closer to the r/t in terms of power
I appreciate you explaining in detail different models of Challenger before I get one great video 👍👍
great video, long time subscriber for you!! The reasons you state is why I purchased a gen 1 charger and just gonna build it slow and in the end vortech supercharge it!!
I’ve had my 2017 R/T for a few months now and you’re right, I definitely want more. No doubt I’ll have a Hellcat one day.
Hey bud it’s been 2 years, how is that hellcat coming along
Really helpful, thank you. I bought my first Dodge Challenger last week, 2009 Challenger R/T manual with 43K miles on it, I absolutely love it! I want to do some upgrades on it, but I think I'll just enjoy it and wait for the day I can truly upgrade to something amazing like you recommended.
150 ,200 shot of Nos will give you the same hp or faster as the scat for less then $1,000 with stock motor
@@kingv7794 hey what’s up bro, I’m planning on buying a 2014 R/T with 80k miles, the thing has nitrous but the owner said he never used it, I don’t really know much about nitrous, is it safe for the engine?, will it effect reliability?, it’s also a manual
@@lochamabro3638 I've heard 100 to 150 should be safe.have the shop help with a tune for the nos.
I’ve always been stuck between the Hellcat and the Scat pack. Thanks to your helpful video I’m gonna go with the scat pack widebody.
Love your videos! I’ve been contemplating for awhile on whether to get a Scat Pack WB or Hellcat WB. You’ve convinced me to get the Hellcat WB, because I know I’d be left wanting, if I got the Scat Pack WB. And, then I’d spend the next two years (emphasis on SPEND) trying to increase the HP and other things to make it like the Hellcat.
I would love any of these cars !!! I love them so much I’m trying to save to buy one soon !!!! I hope I can get one soon
I would love a redeye Hellcat Challenger. But my Scat Pack scratches my itch quite nicely and i only paid $38,000 for it as it was a 2018 hold over. For a fully loaded Scat i think i did pretty well on the deal.
powerman1972 yup same here 2019 Widebody Scatpack fully loaded 1700 miles when I bought it 42,500$ out the door tax tags and title and of 45$ for insurance fully covered.
I found a 40k 2015 hellcat that I'm really thinking about getting rid only 25k miles on it. I really can't find a better deal.
Not bad price, good mileage?
Thats not bad at all I got a 2020 for 34,700 out the door including TTL but mine is a base scat charger
My ss Camaro was only 2 years old and after everything plus gap insurance and extra wrap around warranty mine was about 38,,000. And I freaking love it. The getting in part isn't that bad but getting out without trying to hit another car or the post on the carport at the house. That the part that hurts. Them knees ain't what they used to be.
Really great video and I like your no-nonsense attitude. I bought an SXT and, of course, now want the Scat Pack Widebody. I have subscribed.
Archie Pezek thanks!!! 👍👍
Love this video Thank you im getting the scatpack widebody. That new and a used hellcat was my only 2 options. I appreciate your opinion on your challengers.
IMO
5.7 - Great intro to the v8 community. You get enough power to have fun and it sounds good
6.4 - Is the best spot to be at for some good runs and all that good stuff
6.2 - Well its just another story, fast af 😂
I agree with that.
Though to add, if you're looking for the modding experience, the 5.7 is the way to go. That thing is bottle necked from the factory, and every mod is going to gain more power compared to a stock 5.7. If you wanna put a blower on the car, but don't wanna pay for a Hellcat, the 5.7 is definitely safer to do that with.
If you like doing mods definitely go 5.7. With just four mods you can have it putting out the same hp as a scat pack and have fun doing it.
Just bought my very first car 2019 rt plus for 31000 I’m so hyped very happy !
I have same ... 2019 RT+ ,it's my daily and I love it!
I bought a 2019 charger R/T plus in January, it is lots of fun. Great daily and long distance car, plenty fast and sublime green is amazing!
Good thing you bought then. Check the price on ANY Hemi, even an '06, now!!!
(May '21)
The most sensible brief on what vehicle to purchase.. Lots of good points.. 👍🏾
Love you content brother keep it up!!
I’ve got a 2014 Charger Sxt with the AWD package. It’s been excellent for daily driving to work for the past few years, but the 292 HP isn’t really meant for racing. Especially with a heavy ass sedan. I’ve been saving and hope to pick up a scat pack within a few months 🙏🏻
Good information bro! I'm thinking either build my rt to a sleeper or just get a scat pack...It is my daily driver...
Scat pack bro widebody had an rt their fast but it seems to run out of breath once you hit 100. Raced an lexus es350
And honestly I wasn't too much in front of him. Build if you want a project get a scat build on what already is a badass car.
Excellent video !! It's a 2021 Scat Pack for me. Appreciate your candor. It confirmed what I was already thinking. Take care
Another great video!! Good information!! Thank you very much sir!! 💯👊🏽
Scat Pack is the best value, hands down. I love mine....
I agree Cuda 71
Hows the power
Thanks. I’m still happy with my ‘19 Scat Pack. I feel I made the best choice for me because the Red Eye would have been too much cost of ownership. The Scat Pack is the sweet spot in the line-up, if you don’t have a lot of money to burn, like me.
Late to the video I know. Just discovered you and love the content! Just picked up a 2020 black on black scat charger and absolutely love it!
I have a 2016 Scat and love it. Much like you, my first Challenger was a 2015 R/T Plus, and I couldn't stop gawing at the Scats. Now i'm four years into a Scat and lookin at used Hellcats. Lotta good insight and might even hold off....but there's a yellow Hellcat out there that's callin my name and it's hard to resist. lol! Good vid!
392 Charger Widebody is the dream v8. The do it all muscle tank of my dreams haha.
Just bought a 2019 5.7 Daytona, couldn't be happier!
Bill Swagger you would win.. I think the regular r/t Daytona’s only has the same amount of Hp a regular r/t has, the only real change is a body trim.
@@jrk1990 it also has the Mopar cold air intake and upgraded exhaust, but yeah, Bill would still win, :)
@@rockchalkjsharp nah it don't have upgraded exhaust u get that with the rt package. The active exhaust comes with any challenger rt since 2017. Maybe its different with chargers idk.
Hey man! I love your videos, you helped push me over the fence on which car to buy. Coming from a 2015 SRT 392 which was involved in an accident I am faced to get a Challenger Scat Pack Widebody or Hellcat. Lots of pressure and nearly everyone I’ve talked to says to get the Hellcat, truth be told I think I actually prefer an optioned out Scat Pack Widebody over a Hellcat and when you think about it being a daily driver and cost of ownership it is an easy choice. I feel like I can have more fun in the Scat Pack without worrying about pushing a Hellcat Redeye too hard and ending up in the ditch.
i just bought a used skat pack and LOVE IT. never saw myself in a dodge but this car is so much fun to drive. the muffer delete makes it sound a lil nicer too lol
I'm excited tomorrow I'm trading in my 2014 sonata 2.0T for a 2019 Challenger RT. Looks like a great deal 26k miles and its selling for 20k. Still undecided if I want to wait it out and find a scat pack instead. The Hellcat is out of reach unfortunately! 😪
My 2019 R/T has all the things you talked about remote start and performance pages to much traffic to do fast driving
AVR 1961 i have a 2019 rt but how u get the pages?
@@DCGEMINI202 some R/T's came with performance pages. If you dont have it, just by a tazer from z automotive
Nice video! Good insight man! Scat Pack sounds like the best value! Gotta get that Shaker hood with it and then I'm ready to rock!
Your just honest. Perfect video descriptions of each car. REAL👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺
Love your channel and advice man, I’m 19 with a 07 Camry... gonna ride in a Toyota till I can afford something crazy #camrytocat🔥
So glad I bought my scatpack and paid it off in 2 years and enjoy it all the time in the summer. I almost went for a hellcat but honestly.. unless you're at the track the hp is useless. My scat has to be one of the most enjoyable cars ever. I go to the track run a 12.2 on 20s and then drive home. Anyone on the street cant beleive how fast it is. Its funny were in an era where a 12.2 car is being pushed aside for high 10s haha. I love em all but the scat is ana amazing car.
Great video bro. Keep them coming.
Love your swinger, think it’s awesome what you do trying to help and motivate others
I am looking for a scat pack with shaker. I have a 5.7 and it's ok. I know a scat pack is the way to go.
Imanueali Nassem I am looking at 50th anniversary Challenger scat pack / shaker. Probably go with wide body.
It's funny I have 1966 mustang coupe with a 289 2bbl and every charger and challenger at a stop light wants to go. That old 289 only puts out 190 to 200 hp I just think it's funny! Anyways I'm a ford guy but was curious about all mopar trim levels thanks for the info!
Thanks for the video. Just bought a 2020 Scat charger.
first time seeing your videos, you're an articulate and fluent speaker, glad to hear somebody who doesn't sound stupid or like a commercial :)
I've been planning my whole quarentine on working overtime and finding a new scatpack, I found a white and black shaker kit 2019 38 miles 44k but the dealer blew it tbh. Then I found a 2019 F8 green scat with 5618 miles for 34k but not a shaker or wide body... needless to say it will be delivered to my home the 18th. :)
GOT PUSHED UP ARRIVING TODAY AT 1PM :D
2019 AQUIRED!!!
Congrats man hard work definitely pays off. Im doing as much ot rn, planning on picking up a charger scat/Daytona next month.
Thanks it's been killer! If you can get the right deal idd do it! Car sales are down %80 this quarter nationally so they're willing to work with anyone :) the first scat I looked at ( 20yo )
they wouldnt let me drive it and tried to stack on 8 thousand in extras, second place delivered it to my home for 10k less
I'm not sure if my youtube picture has updated yet but that's my baby :) F8 green base 2019 Scat for 34k with 7k miles
I followed the same path. I started with a R/T Shaker and found it lacking in power. I upgraded to the Challenger Scat Pack 6 speed manual; it was a terrific car. I was itching to have a Hellcat and pulled the trigger 5 months later. Although the Hellcat was a thrill to own and drive ( not as a primary car) I felt that it was like dancing the tango with a 400 pound bipolar woman. I sold it 18 months later and purchased a well equipped 2019 Charger Scat Pack with the Dynamics Package ( Hellcat brakes and wheels). The Scat Pack is an excellent value proposition with just the right amount of power and practicality. I’ve owned many cars and still have an assortment of cars. The Scat Pack is my favorite. Gotta love the N/A 392.
I did that in reverse...started with a Redeye WB Challenger, which to me had two had modes; scary as hell or boring. Traded 1 year later "down" for a Scat Shaker widebody with a 6 speed and now my face is a permanent smile...love. that. car!
Thanks for the honest and useful comparison -and sharing your experiences- between the Dodge Challenger variants!
Cannot afford a Hellcat...Our 2012 392 Challenger chewed up the cam so Comp Cam stage 2 with Hellcat lifers(no more MDS)made it way more fun. Magnaflow exhaust, catch can. Love it.
I love the R/T. Gas mileage was great on the freeway. I will get another R/T. Scat packs and Hellcats eat a lot of gasoline.
Brenden Baker .. I owned a 2016 Rallye, 2018 5.7 Daytona and now a scatpack, the scat gets literally the same gas mileage... I see a little difference in city but when I hit eco and drive city it’s actually better than the Daytona got me.
@Mikeman Jordan Not unless you be really smart about it.
My SRT 392 averages 17 MPG in the city. Unless I’m racing someone or trying to weave through traffic I keep my car on ECO mode.
@@marquisejohnson1420 How much do you get on the freeway?
I average 10 lol
had my rt for a year now still haven't got tired of it. (has SRT pages + auto start + lowered) if it didn't have that i would be tired of it lol
How much was it to lower it?
@@Zekedailest eibach sport line + installation total was like $800 i think
@@ForeignMadeIt what difference does it make besides looks?
Great Video!! Really enjoying my 2019 392 Scat Pack Shaker!! Not a wide-body, but looks Great and gets a lot of comments everywhere I go!! People just Love that Shaker Hood-Scoop!!
We got a 08 Charger R/T. I love it. I drive like a Grandpa though. When we do need to boogy it has plenty. I drove the 6.4 and it defiantly is fun. The throttle is more sensitive on our 08 then the new chargers though. There is a lag in the pedal with the new ones. Prolly for gas mileage.
I had a 2017 Challenger Hellcat. Sold it and bought a 2019 Challenger Widebody ScatPack. Going fast in a straight line got boring real quick. Wicking my Scat thru the twisties, 👍👍👍👍👍. 😸😸😸. Love that car.
Recently picked up a 2018 5.7 Destroyer grey. I have been looking at the Scat Pack for about 2 years but over and over couldn't justify the price tag. Finally test drove a 5.7 and it was extremely impressive. Great price too. It is more than enough power for me. You only can use so much power on public roads without getting into trouble. I am a CDL truck driver and can not afford to lose my CDL so I figured the 5.7 was the perfect option to have fun but not get myself in trouble.
That's the exact situation I was in when I was shopping for a V8 charger really wanted the 392 but had to remember my career is at stake with my holding a CDL. 5.7 was a no Brainer at that point no regrets 😎
Im a big believer in always buying what makes you happy especially car since most people are signing there life away after they lease/finance a car so i always advice people get the car you want because theres no going back once you sign the contract. But i also tell them go out and finance/lease a car worth 10x your salary. Love the videos hopefully one day i run into you in OC and see if the redeye keeps up with my zl1 😂
My car was totaled a ago week. You’re teaching me. I’m the same way as you, I wanted to get a GT. Scatbat is really what I want, in between not playing too much. Gas and where thing. Thank again!
You have a great car, I have a RT 5.7. The Hellcat is Awesome but I have to tell you, I still love mine and it is plenty of fast for me 🙂. Mopar Or No Car 💖
I have 06 charger rt and I love it
I think it is what you want. The 5.7 is a great modding platform. The 6.4 is kind of good for modding but not with boost as much. The hellcat(s) are an all out vehicle. I personally like the lower cars like the rt scat and 5.7 rt. There is much more customization opportunities that I can do. I do everything to my car and there is more of a joy to that to me than just buying the car. Point is it is YOUR car make it what you want.
Ps. The rt is still very much a muscle car. It is not reslly lacking that much hp with 390hp and 410tq. That is A LOT for a street car. And the reason you get worse mpg on the redeye is that blower LOL
I started out on a camaro ss and currently have an rt and i love it. Affordable even with my speeding tickets.comfortable doing 170mph with 4000lbs. Im satisfied
redking dracula lol. I have 2006 magnum rt so i am limited to 155
@@Sak-zo1ui yeah the owner before got it tuned but i didn't know that until 6 months after i looked in the trunk by the spare tire but regardless i was understanding of what you were saying.
redking dracula why would you downgrade
@@zurexionftw2686 i always had camaro 1998 and the 2010 ss i just wanted to get a different feeling...and i can say i am more comfortable with my rt than i was camaro
I agree. I have a 2019 Scatpack WB in Destroyer Gray! I work at a dealership, and had a used Redeye come in before I bought mine. After driving it. It just didn't make sense! I don't regret my decision one bit.
Thanks for your candor and helpful advice!
I have been debating between a used hellcat and a fully loaded RT Scat Pack widebody, and I have to agree... the RT Scat Pack widebody is by far the best bang for your buck... you can get one... fully loaded for $58k.
The RT Scat Pack widebody has all the looks and basically all the upgrades of the old SRT line and then some.
Another solid video! When you giving away those tire valve caps?!? Lol
Paul Hayes used hellcat all day. Relatively low mileage and way better bang for your buck. Or buy a used 18 19 A10GT which is faster than a scat pack for cheaper🤷🏻♂️ a lot of options
P1MPINSINCE1997 I agree the Hellcat has everything you want and more! But I might be looking at a baby number 2 here some time. Sooo I might have to settle for the RT Scat Pack in the mean time :)
Or go for a 14-17 SRT Jeep. Fun for the whole family. You can get one for 38-50k with low mileage. I love mines and smoke chargers/challenger's on the dig all day.
I only get 13.5 - 14.5 city in my 2019 RT 🤷🏻♂️
Great video sir, you help me out a lot with my decision I was going to purchase a 2017 hellcat challenger tomorrow however after watching your video you cleared things up. I will get a mk 4 Toyota supra instead that will probably eat that challenger up anyway
I did the same I had a new rt sold it 8 months later for a new 392. Should have got that car from the beginning. Had for 3 years now and still love it
Thank you man , getting a Scat pack for my wife.
Perfect Impression Of “That Jerk”😂😂
So much information. Great advise. Subscriber! Looking for more 😎
I have a 2017 Challenger Scat Pack Shaker in Octane red. Low miles. Love it! Mint condition . So much fun.
I have a v6 charger. I’m going to try to get a scatpack
Mrponcho build your credit and it’ll happen. No need to rush it
feel the struggle got a 2015 sxt waiting for that scat
Mopar madness knows what’s up, I was driving a 92 Honda for the last 2 years building my credit, and I just bought my scat pack a few days ago! Keep grinding bro you’ll get there
Scott Wilson lol I have a 750 credit score. I could get a scatpack now if I wanted to
mac9jr pay the SXT off and keep building your credit
13:09 not me man I have a c7 z51 and I drive that thing like I stole it
Is that faster than the Z06
I know that's the vette. I got a new SS CAMARO but I wished I would have gotten the ZR1 CAMARO BUT ITS SUCH A BIG PRICE DIFFERENCE. I.LIKE MY SS .I mean, I will keep up with a regular c7 vette but if I trade for a vette, what's the fastest for around my price range because my mom and dads vette. I ch 9uld beat them in my Camaro but on leaning toward a vette now. I got it because you have s back seat but my wife and I have had people in the back seat and to be honest with you,might as well get a two seater because you got to move the seat up it makes it hard to drive.
Greg Phillips if you’re getting a corvette the c8 is the way to go if you can find one around 70k. If you want a c7 the stingray and z51 2019 is around 50-60k the zo6 is 80-90k and the zr1 is 100k+ the stingray and z51 will give you around the same performance as your camaro the zo6 will give you camaro zl1 performance and the zr1 will compete with redeyes gt500s and demons. But so will the C8 corvette and you can get one around 70k right now so to me thats the way to go but its your choice
My dad promised my mom a Corvette when he retired from GM, which he did. She wanted AN ALABABAMA, ROLL TIDE RED New one.. That was 2009, brand new off the lot. Is that a C6 9R A C7. I have tried to get him to race me and he want do it. There is so many things I want to do to my Camaro but i cant because it's still under warranty. It looks just like Bumblebee from Transformersm when i get it paid off, it's on. A supercharger is about 4,000 ain't it.
Greg Phillips mine is a 2019 SS the super charger for mine is around 7-8k but mine is also under warranty lol got it in october
@greg Phillips Issa zl1 not zr1 camaro that’s a corvette and no a z06 is fast af (650 horse and torque to crank) and only thing above that is the zr1
I agree 100% with you about getting the S/P 6.4. Its a useable vehicle and mine will be in my garage next week after the ceramic coating, window tint and 3M is done. 2022 Midnight Black, Orange Edition.
Love my 392 scatpack shaker package. Happy I got that and not the wide body. The shaker coming out of the hood is TOO cool and like the shape better.
Excellent comparison. You're in a unique position to give advice on these 3 cars, since you drove them yourself. High Five! PS: I have a 392 ScatPack ;) just installed a DiabloSport iTune3 with a PCM swap. My tires are spinning in Gear 2 in Sport Mode. This is the next best thing to a HellCat. Next mod: long tube headers with ceramic coating. Thanks for the video!
I have a 2019 rt and I’m happy with it, plan on modifying any way
Its usable power, just not enough. Had my rt since 2015. Need to make decision build current car or buy a scat pack...
@@panama2500 Buy a ScatPack
@@VegitoBlackk thanxs..
I've got a 2017 Z06 and I drove it on my first road trip in economy mode to compare economy to touring mode mileage. Going on the 230 mile trip in economy I got 26.0 mpg and I didn't Baby it. Coming back I used touring mode and definitely did not Baby it and got 25.5 mpg. I was pleasantly surprised since the rated mpg is 13/23. Picked it up in July of 2019 for 67k and it only had 1595 miles on it. Love the car, it is a beast with 650 hp/tq.
I daily drive my 2018 HC challenger and absolutely love it . Fuel mileage around town is on par with my f150 4x4 but makes for a whole lot more fun commute ..
