- After owning my Dodge Challenger 5.7L RT for only 4 months, I traded it in on the 6.4L Scat Pack! Was it the right decision? And how much I lost on my 5.7.
I myself traded my 09 RT for 2019 scat pK and really thought I might have made a mistake. Even left the dealers twice , having it for a month now, I LOVE IT, I find myself driving and going no where , just like a kid getting his license first time remember drove everywhere to no where. I’m 65 yrs old promised myself in 71 if I get back from Nam I’m going to get a challenger well I did 48 yrs later , with MORE HP than the 71... love my scat
It's funny you made that comment about the new muscle having more HP then the 'classics'. I was ALWAYS into MOPAR muscle, had the 68 Charger, 71, 72, and 73 Challengers. Even had a 71 Super bee, V code 440 6 pack automatic (one of 63 made). NONE of them could run with modern MOPAR muscle. And to tell you the truth, I wouldn't spend the money being asked for any one of those older classics. Why would I? I would rather get a 392 Scat, with a warranty and 11 second time slips. No shoddy bodywork, no constant carb tuning, no half assed engine/tranny builds. And NO INSANE $40k or more asking price for one of the older cars.........
CT87 GN have to admit those were great days!!! But today I’d half afraid even open hood lol ... but man the power you feel when you punch it WOW!!! I don’t know about you but the Winn of the supercharger doesn’t get to me as much as the roar of the beast when you get on it. I know hp hp hp but love that old time roar .
Randy Pleva how much did they give you on your trade in?
Yung Shad Beatz 10k had 94k on miles
@ RandyPleva You weren't old enough to serve in Vietnam in 1971, unless you were a 16-year-old Viet Cong guerrilla.
As an engineer, I would pick the rt and modify the engine. The scat pack isn’t worth the 15k extra . It’s just a bored out 5.7 .
If I were to upgrade, I would go for the hellcat. Forged crank (2k alone!) forged rods, rocker arms, pistons. It’s in a different class all together.
I good engine guy can easily make an rt a sleeper for a relative few dollars and you will have some high quality extras and not the stock Dodge stuff....
IN MY HUMBLE OPINION
I have a 2016 RT. I put shorty headers, Muffler 40, High flow cats,Diablo sport Tune, CAI, 90 Mm Throttle Body, Throttle spacer, 185 Thermostat, Put a tazer to get the pages,
Pedal commander to burn rubber. Put slotted rotors, bigger wheels, 285x20 x4 tires. Car runs and feels like a 6.4. Love my R/T. It has been fun modding it and I have a few more mods in my head for the future. I only have 25,000 miles. Raced a 450HP Ford Raptor and blew him away. R/T can be a beast if you got the time to mod it.
Got a v6 challenger almost a year ago I regret it badly definitely looking to upgrade it to a scat pack by the end of the summer!
5.7 or 6.4 it doesn’t matter each can be beaten on any given day I have a 2020 challenger R/T and I absolutely love it for what it is rather I win or lose a race
True. The 5.7 Hemi is extremely entertaining and fast. People buy Challengers and Chargers because of low-end torque. Also, if some complains about how heavy the car is, they bought the wrong product and should have gone with a mustang.
I have a 2020 Challenger R/T too and I love it! I was surprised with how powerful the 5.7 is especially the newer ones and it’s plenty. Not to mention you can actually put the power down and it’s more useable.
@@ricerr3821 Very true. The 392 is arguably the most power you can have for street applications without smoking the tires and getting int sketchy situations.
RT is better for building. Scatpack is better to keep stock built vs bought.
You will pay roughly 10-15 thousand more for a 392 over a 345, and that gets you a 1 second faster car in a 0-60 contest. I'm good with my R/T.
NANDO R/T still faster though
ong u finna get shitted on at rolls
mickey killzz people really think and RT will actually keep up with an srt lol
A stock 345 R/T will not beat a stock 392 of course not. The same body/weight with 115 more horsepower makes that pretty damn obvious. 😆
NANDO R/T these guys are non runners that’s why they believe in stupidity
Cam and long tube headers I’m sure the 5.7 would keep up just fine
Do it right the first time it will actually be cheaper
i learned this lesson the hard way few times myself
Me too man , ive been waiting for someone to finally say this exact thing.
Its crazy because I bought a 2019 charger R/T in February of this year for 38k. In August I traded in for a scat pack which was 43k. The dealership gave me 35k for my R/T and $4,850 in rebates. With $500 down I broke even and got the car for 44k with gap insurance with a lower interest rate. So I got the better trim for a better monthly payment and grateful it all worked out. Love my scat pack.
Xavier Otero any advice on getting a similar value on trade?
@@Pcgamingfixes well I went for a trade in when dodge was offering the power per dollar rebate. Interesting enough I didn't have to go back and forth with the dealer at all. I was just firm on how much I was willing to put down which was no more than $500. But overall if you're serious about buying any car just let the dealer know where you stand and not allow them to get over on you. They make a profit regardless but the more they get out of you then the better it is for them.
i’m thinking about trading my rt soon bro, what’s the highest i should put down?
@@lildude820 what year is your RT? And is your RT paid off?
@@xavierotero9865 2017 and not paid off yet
I am addicted to my plumbcrazy scatpack shaker.
I did a mid muffler delete and love it even more.
Wow does that 392 sound fantastic. Such a great engine.
Also the oil filter is next to the oil plug. So easy to change oil.
Not everyone can afford that bigger 6.4 V8 man here in tx a used R/T goes for 23k or 24k which is really good but the 392 still even used go for almost mid 40s and obv if you can afford it yea go for the 392 but i feel like the R/T is just perfect money wise and power wise you still get a nice sounding Hemi V8 under that hood and for the weight of the car its actually pretty quick just gotta be happy with what you can afford.
The 5.7 Hemi is not slow. Speed is a relative term. It is neutered from the factory and minor modifications can wake it up fairly easily. No matter what car you get, you will always want or wish you had more power.
Also, spending almost $100 on an oil change is asinine . You can change your oil for literally $35-$45.
1. You just said it’s “slow” from the factory. Confirming my point. 2. Yes. I agree. They neutered the car and modifying it would wake it up. 3. Modifying it would void the warranty though. And most people don’t want those headaches. 4. After owning the Redeye, I decided that was too much power for most normal human beings. 5. I worked a lot of years to reach a point of wealth wear $100 for someone else’s time, energy, and skill, makes that a small price to pay for me to not have to jack up my car, mess with dirty oil, dispose of the oil properly, wrestle around in the engine compartment, and then figure out how to reset the dash light. I know how to do it, but I have better things to do than roll around on my back in my driveway which to me is “asinine” when I could be at lunch with my beautiful wife having a martini on a Saturday.
@@ocmotivator No. I did not confirm your previous statement. Even though the car is neutered from the factory, it is still a fast car. The 5.7 Hemi is still a 13 to 15 second car in the 1/4 mile. This was considered fast for a street car back in the 70’s, it is still fast today. In regards to voiding your warranty, the simple answer to that is wait till the warranty is expired or buy a used car. No one going to haphazardly void their warranty due to modifications. However, there are some modifications that can be made and it won’t void your warranty. The used car market prices today are extremely inflated and the price for a used car and a new car are within a $5,000-$6,000 price difference. People that want to modify their Challenger or Charger will have better gains in performance if they buying a 5.7 over the 6.4, because the 6.4 is very optimized from the factory. You mentioned that you owned a Redeye, so you obviously understand that all of the V8 engines are fast based on their components and weight. You can’t compare the 5.7 to the 6.4 fairly because the components for each engine are drastically different. The 6.4 engine, for example, has a bigger engine, larger throttle body, higher compression rating, more aggressive gearing, and a better camshaft. Also, since most people who own these cars have disposable income, paying a professional to make those modifications is a more feasible option than making those modifications yourself.
The only cars faster then the R/t are the ones that are more expensive then the R/t
Feel blessed to have my 3rd challenger first was a 2013 sxt plus rally redline challenger than a 2013 rt base model challenger now a 2016 challenger rt black top package with scat pack stage 1
Hyundai Sonata, Newer Honda Accords and a 335i Beemers will walk all over the Challenger Charger, 300C and magnum hemi models. They're all cheaper.
Don't get me wrong I love my Hemi 300C AWD (decked out fully loaded 2014 John Varvatos 300C 5.7 AWD fully loaded, window sticker 57k) and used to have a 2008 SRT 300C (which makes the 5.7 hemi look like a 4 cylinder).
These cars are tanks, my 2014 is 4650 lbs with the AWD and I tuned and modded it to around 410hp on the 5.7.
My 2008 6.1 SRT was around 4200lbs, motor tuned and modded to around 500hp. The SRT would rape stock 6.4 scat packs and SRTs for lunch. By today's standards it's still slow. The 5.7 hemi in my 2014 is embarrassingly slow compared to the SRT. The only advantages I have are tons of traction and no one expecting a 300C to be as fast as a Challenger R/T. The AWD makes a huge difference though. I can smoke much faster rear wheel drive cars in crappy weather, but FCA decided in 2014 to no longer offer AWD and a HEMI except to police.
@@crazybenny747 the challenger has the most retro look I could always swamp out the engine to a 6.4 or build it got it more for the looks I know there heavy cars it's a muscle car
@@israelgarciajr.7129 slow or not the Challenger is sexy as hell. I just wish I had the money for a Challenger Hellcat Red-eye.
@@crazybenny747 hell yea same here
“I have NO desire to get a hellcat”. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Anthony Johnson Lol! Whoops 😬
Everyone has their own opinions on what they want or need based on budgets etc. All the flavors are great for what they are. Dogging on one or the other is pointless.
Not hating on the decision to upgrade at all, but the 5.7 really isn't that bad and by no means is it slow. I daily a 5.7 and I've driven several 6.4s. There's a difference, but not a 5k difference if you know what I mean. Now the Hellcat? That's the night and day difference you speak of.
I own both and there’s a massive difference between a 64 and the 57
@@williamrose7818 Maybe it's down to opinion, but I wouldn't call it a massive difference by any means. I have the 5.7 Chally, a friend with the 6.4 Charger, and one with the 6.1 Chally. All stock 17s purchased brand new. I'm in and out of these cars pretty regularly. Like I said, the 6.4 is noticably more powerful than the 5.7 and a 6.4 will beat a 5.7 every time but not by bus lengths.
Terry P more like 2 bus lengths when the 6.4 gets going
@@gullylifestyle99 lol stats on paper don't even support that. 6.4 is less than 1/2 a second faster than 5.7 in 0-60. Must be a short bus you're talking about.
Terry P chec out the video of these two guys doing highway pulls and checc me bacc
I had an RT I heard i would be dissapointed if I bought an RT but I said well heck I'm 34 years old It be plenty fast enough for me but I was dissapointed . I'd buy a 392 if I ever bought a challenger again
Definitely L trading a 5.7 for scat pack. The 5.7 can handle 500-1500hp, the 6.4 can only handle up to 10pounds of boost because of its naturally aspirated engine.
He's right that's why I traded my rt 5.7 in for the 6.4 I love it that's all I need I understand him perfectly 👍🏾💯
I’d imagine, for what you lost, you could have moded the R/T to be about as fast as what you’re in now.
David Cote no warranty
Exactly
My 5.7 Paid FOR IM DRIVE IT UNTIL IT DIE SON.
Doesn't he know some of us that have 5.7 hemi know how easy it is turn make a 392 stroker by changing the cam porting the heads and if we're crazy change the intake manifold and be a smoother ride because our 5 speed trans his 8 speed will always have him redlining rpms and if we want to get crazy we can boost ours his will become a bomb 💣 if he doesn't forge his inners so let's recap 5.7 hemi can become a 392 stroker plus able to add boost without blowing it up lets think about that I say your better off with the 5.7 hemi 5 speed transmission it'll make more horsepower when done right and its costs less I own both my 2005 300c 5.7 hemi and let me say this don't sleep on our 5.7 hemi they might be sleepers
And a scatpack is a mortgage and it owns you haha
I hear you happiness is important but just like people say get the 392 Hellcat guys will ask you should've gotten a hellcat or a demon there's always somebody faster
I'm in the same predicament right now the only thing is. I don't want to give away ten thousand dollars to these crooks so they can make a bunch of money off of my car
2:58 and now you’re going to get a jail break 😂
headers, high flow cats, high quality stainless steel catback, air-raid or legmaker intake, wider grippier tires and a dyno tune slaps the 5.7 awake. trust me...but i do have a 2009 which is about 300lbs lighter than the new models and i only payed 20k for one with 18k miles. Be smart people. ;)
Great vid this helped me decide took a test drive now waiting for my triple nickel Challenger Scatpack to be delivered. Thx👊
Amen. O just bought an R/T in March,and I agree. Used Car prices are up now but the difference $ between the Scatpack & R/T makes the Bee the better buy!
I bought a 2017 challenger Rt and traded it in less than 2 weeks later on a 2019 challenger scat pack. Took a hit but I'm sooooo happy I did. That 392 is just amazing and the perfect engine for this beast of a car
5.7 good----6.4 really good
6.4 better
I agree with you Sir. I just got my 2019 scat pack fully loaded with 3,000 mile on it for 36,000 . And I absolutely love it . Coming from a Chevy man at 17 years of ownership. But I still love my Chevy ....
Steal of a price .. now they run around 45k for 3k miles and for a 2019
If money was not an issue, why not go bigger. However money is an issue with most of us. Not just with the cost of the car, but the added monthly insurance costs and having to pump high test gas every few days. Therefore, an RT can be a great vehicle for many people.
2014 5.7 Challenger with E-force Supercharger and 3.90 Getrag. And only 24K deep so far! Bring on the Scat Packs!
He should have test driven both the same day....save 7 grand....but hey, life is short and you can always make more money. You can't make more time.
I like your videos man. Clear and concise information. Just subscribed. I traded in my B5 2015 RT for a Pitch Black 2018 Scat Pack 4 months ago... Big difference! I love these cars!
Johnny Cruz awesome! Thanks and congrats! That’s a great car!
I owed about 16k on the old 15 RT and the dealer offered 22K for it, so I didn't lose any money. Sorry to hear you got shafted my friend.
Thanks!... I owed about 16k on my RT, and was offered 22k for it, from the dealer... not a bad deal, if you ask me. Sorry to hear you got shafted my friend.
Johnny Cruz how many miles did your RT have on it?
The RT ain’t slow, it’s just not that fast!. However with the right mods, you can achieve scat power which technically is only putting down 420-430 whp, 475-485 to the crank. And just to clear things up, a skat still rocks a rt badge. Don’t sleep on rts or you just might get your feelings hurt...
Hey Brad, I see your future. You will buy multiple Hellcats, Scatpacks , 2 Lamborghinis & this a secret 🤫 A NEW DEMON! called 170 😅
Oh I could’ve never imagined thinking this is where I’d end up. lol 👍😂
Just bought a 2019 Scatpak.
Love it. I love it and using the R/T for work!
How much did you get it for?
Jorge Lagunas I totally fell in love with car. A loaded shaker $46k roughly with the extended warranty. I payed $1200 less than sticker.
Had my Scat Pack Widebody 6 months and LOVE IT!!!
How much u paying for that?
R/T classic 2010 red ..6 -speed 41k bought new no payments 10k in extras won't sell - like the looks better then 2021 & don't want payments & 50% of a race is the driver good video ..!
Funny seeing this video after seeing what you're in currently in 😂😂. I'm with you right now my man. Glad I bought a scat pack. Was actually thinking about a RT. But my car won out!!
I’m kind of in the same boat as you except I traded my SXT after only having it for 1.5 years for a brand new RT. I don’t regret it
How big was difference in mpg from 5.7 to 6.4?
Idk how he’s driving. He makes the R/T sounds like a Camry.
Fitmalone Snapchat the 0-60 on the Camry is almost the same as the RT so that would be a fair comparison. Look it up. I love the RT but I think Dodge could’ve done better on the HP. The motor is capable with a little retuning.
@@ocmotivator camry trd has 5.8 0-60 while rts have 5.0-5.3 so in what way is a camry almost as fast as a rt?
@@caloFi seriously? So a “muscle car” is only a half a second faster than a Camry and you ask that question? I think you just made my point. With that said. I do love the RT. It’s a great car. I just wish Dodge would’ve given it a little more horsepower. 425-440 would’ve been perfect. And the engine is capable of that easily.
@@ocmotivator dude is obviously an idiot
@@ogwasabij252 yea but the TRD Camry is also quick. Any 4 door sedan 0-60 under 6 is great power to daily drive.
I’m so glad that someone told the truth. The 5.7 is a heavy slow vehicle. I’ve owned one. It’s great as a daily driver, but terrible as a performance vehicle. A Honda Accord will hurt your feelings. Trust me, I know. I’d get the 5.7 in a Durango RT or a Ram. That’s it…..
I like the looks of the Challenger because of the 3 new Muscle Cars out it looks more like the original & I’ve always loved Mopar my first was a 69 Roadrunner 383. I love cars & trucks & love buying them it’s great fun for me as I treat it like a game & of the 2 dozen new cars I’ve bought I’ve only thought I’ve overpaid twice. And one of them was an 83 Cougar I drove off the showroom floor, but it actually ended being the best deal I ever got because I had for 150,000 miles & had to replace only 1 wiper blade motor that was all & that was under warranty. But I digress when these new Challengers came in 2015 I really wanted one but was just considering the looks I wasn’t even thinking about the power. So I actually took a year studying them & making low ball offers figuring if they took them great if not I didn’t need the car as I had 5 cars at home between one daughter, my wife & me. So I started looking at the 6 cylinder I wanted all the luxuries on them. I made some low ball offers & they were always turned down & one day I was at a dealer that had a lot of R/T’s ( I actually like their pinstriping more than any other Challenger Trim) it was a manual took it for a spin liked it so I changed my mind & wanted the 5.7 . I went back home & started calling around & making another round of low ball offers with nothing to lose hoping the price would go down as we coming up on a new Model Year. So one day I was at a dealer with a lot of Scat Packs & test drove one. I was hooked then I couldn’t settle for anything less. Now the obvious move would be to test a Hellcat but that would’ve been pushing the budget & I know if I drove one I wouldn’t be able to settle for Anything but the Hellcat. So I got my Scat Pack with everything on it , I have 1 more year & it’s paid off 2 more years & my Wife’s Outlander is paid off then it’s on to the Red Eye unless Dodge comes up with something else to change my mind. ( I still haven’t driven a Hellcat )
Have mixed emotion, I have a 2015 Challenger rt plus super track pack and it's a factory freak. 410hp with 417lbt and I have gapped other rts all day and have beaten a 2014 camraro ss and kept up to a 2017 ss, my rt runs a 0-60 in 4.8 seconds with 315s on the rear. All I'm sayin is don't sleep on the RT
Micki Lowe check out my newer videos. I lost my mind and bought a Redeye.
OCMotivator you’re nuts lol
4.8 with 410HP? U did something Wrong cause a Stock R/T does a 4.7. And with a Tune on it u will do a 4.3 to 4.5. And with a Strocker Kit and a Tune u make 4.0 to 4.2. So when u put down that 410HP and u do a 4.8 you will not gap that Stock R/T from 2017 and above 😂 so u did something pretty wrong on your Car
The accelerator pedal will make you smile 😃 all day long👍😎😎
Great information 🙏🏾🙏🏾
The same way I feel.... Smile's per gallon....

TX 3451217 it’s all good. There’s nothing wrong with the Scat Pack. I kinda wish I would’ve just kept mine sometime along with the hellcat since the hellcat is wildly impractical. Lol
Always putting down the 5.7 I raced my friends HC and I stayed with him in 1st2nd gear . Then I didn’t see him anymore . He ask me where did you go. Lol .I love my RT 5.7
I didn’t buy for the speed . It’s fast enough for me . I got for showing at car shows . And to dress up . ( 2016 Challenger plus 5.7 6 speed with 3:90 rear )
You probably kept up with him because the hellcat was spinning the whole time🤣 i drove all 3, that cat was spinning, if it would of hooked it would of dusted your ass
All that matters is that you are happy with the car. Really it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, because you are the one buying it, driving it and if you are happy with it, then that's all that matters! Plus it doesn't matter what kind of car you have, as long as you are happy with it, because at the end of the day, you're the one that owns it and if you're happy with it, then that's all that matters!!
Anthony Grider man to me i dont really car about how fast someone car go speed is nice but What matter to me is who car stays on the road longer. If I brought a new RT i hope that RT last me about at least 150,000 miles. i want to bond with the car. Unfortunately i just got a total loss on my v6 charger i felt like i lost a family member in death. I hope my next car i can keep for at least 10 years.
I hate to be the one to ask but what has been your MPG average been? I've been teetering over the 5.7 for the MPG. Is it really around 16 mpg as others have said or are they racing too much to be a good judge?
My scatpack shaker makes me feel like a teenager again
You absolutely made the right choice but you make an even better choice down the road when you get the red eye
Maybe he felt it was slow is because it was a stock RT and he had no modifications what so ever

I had an SXT for four months and traded it in for an R/T and figure I lost about $3000. I should have probably bought the Scat Pack but for now I am very happy with my 2019 R/T. I plan on keeping it for at least two years than I may go for a wide body Scat Pack. Enjoy your videos.
I’m planning on doing this soon, did you trade it in at a dodge dealership?
@@prestigewolf111 Yes I did, I bought a 2019 R/T that had 3000 miles on it and paid $32,000. You can save a little on the loss if you buy a used 2019 and still get the warranty.
Steve Waggoner that’s a great deal and thanks for the info👍🏾
How's the car doing? I was thinking of buying one soon but been told that they won't last
You dont need to go that fast to ride around town bro cut the B.S.
Just got the scat pack and love it I treat it like gold 😂
Did the same had my r/t for a year had to trade it in for a Daytona 392 it was worth the 7k in price difference
RT 392 absolutely! 👍🏼👍🏼
how much did you put down?
My opinion about a Hellcat is I feel the motor won't last as long due to the supercharger. I don't know if the cost is worth 2 seconds in the quarter mile...
how much of a difference is the mpg between the 5.7 and 6.4??
I have a 5.7 challenger and a 6.4 charger i think the 5.7 is very powerful but my 6.4 is unbelievable
So what do you recommend.. save 3k to put down on an rt in 2020 May or save 6k for a scat pack In October 2020?.. my patience is low.. but I want to be happy.
evan din honestly I have no patience either. Not low, like none. Lol. But I can tell you that the scat pack is so much more car than the standard RT in appearance, power, and overall features that if you buy it in may, by the time October comes you’ll wish you had waited. I’d even say to buy a 1 year old scat rather than a 2020 regular 5.7 RT if you can’t wait. Just my opinion having walked this path already and lost a bunch of money not doing it right the first time.
I'll tell you fella, I brought a Scat Pack and I absolutely love it. But I tell you this if I had the money I'd own a Hellcat and after you get beat a few times by some camaro's and mustangs. You're going to wish you jumped up to that Hellcat. Believe that!
My buddy got a 2019 or the 2020 Scatpack recently. He said himself Camaros Seem to get away after the 0 to 60...he recently crashed it to...you dont need anything faster than a Scatpack. Lol
Charlie Wilson lmao fat ass car can’t compete, you have to get 707 hp just to compete with a camaro ss and mustang gt, that’s ridiculous. Challengers just too damn heavy
He just said he doesn’t care about racing other cars. Just wanted something faster
Bro I don’t know what the hell yall be watching but those scatpacks are neck and neck with those ss and mustangs stock
Majority of the time I see scats beating hellcats in a drag can’t put that power to the ground!
What kind of mileage are you getting with the scat pack? Do you use 93 octane? Wife wants a challenger....I’m leaning towards a 6.4 scat pack shaker.....🤷♂️
I got my 2021 RT super track pack and happy with it . I've rented and driven the scat before and felt that's too much power for me.
I'm a one car guy and I can't afford 3 cars with one of them being the garage queen lol .
The other thing is : it snows and rains here where I live and I want to be rolling on the road not skating and going side ways .
Scat ownership is pricey too and I'm not a racer so that rolled it out of my options. It all comes to what type of driver you are and what level of car suits your need.
The RT has the same bad ass looks with being having usable power and I get fun from it when I need 🙃
I just got and RT blacktop edition myself and I really love it
I rented an RT for a trip from Vegas to LA. Boy was I happy when I got back in my modded STI😂. But there's an RT channel which modded the RT and he says he can keep up with a hellcat.
R/T Life modded his 5.7L
yeah he can with his new moro
Motor
I think rt life does alot of shorter races and yes his rt is amazing.
I know how he does it but I don't know how he does it
My R/T 5.7 challenger beat my brothers 6.4 chevy 2019 Camaro like 6 times
I'd love to have a 392 scat but my budget said otherwise. So I bought a 2013 challenger RT. Added a Injen cold air intake,diablo trinity T2 EX platinum tuner with a 93 tune and cold air tune trans tune. Deleted the mid mufflers and Resonators added super 10 flowmasters with hell cat rep wheels and a 295/20 sticky tire and run 4.3 0-60 ran a 8.60 to the 8th. Paid 14,600 for it with 92k miles. The scat was a 2015 price was 32k with 42k miles. Just with around 2k of mods I'm running with a stock scat and my car sounds amazing.
You can definitely make your 5.7 run with a stock scatpack, but you'd need a fair bit more than a tune and cold air intake to do that. I see you ordered some long tube headers which has definitely got you headed in the right direction! They'll make more of a power difference to your R/T than anything you've done so far. It'll really wake the car up. Throw in a cam and that'll put you right in the "392" zone.
Hahaha, Hellcats owners says the same "6.4L is not enough". Enough for happiness is the limit of the budget.
I did the same thing. Bought a 5.7 and then traded it in for a 6.4. Maybe a few years down the road I’ll buy a hellcat
Here in Texas.....A 2019 widebody scatpack are listing for under 50k
Yeah I might be going that route!!
Smart choice!
i have one! its sick
Then you go and trade up to the hellcat shortly after? But you said it's not about speed..who you kidding here bro..lol
Things change. But good to know you’re that guy who remembers everything and then uses it later to call someone out. Nice to meet you!
I like the way u said that sorry dodge yes u guys should have made the stock HEMI at least faster then the mustang Gt that’s why I’m going with the scat pack over mustang Gt because don’t get it twisted the mustang Gt looks great but scat pack is where it’s at behind hellcat
“Need” Haha. Want*
What would you recommend? Loaded rt 5.7 with heated and cool leather seats blindspot alert sunroof hids etc or base scat pack? The 5.7 has been out longer so I think it might be more reliable than the 6.4
I have a fully loaded 2015 RT Challenger. Its quick but if you want the best bang for your buck, I say Scat Pack but make sure it haslow mileage.
Go head, settle if you want to.
Hell cat didn’t make any sense financially ... couple months later buys a Redeye 😎😂
Ya. I’m in therapy for this now. Lol
If you want an NA car that sounds mean and has the punch to back it up, you probably would have been better off with a 10 speed auto Mustang GT.
So True the 5.7 is no more if it’s stock
I'm in the same situation, thinking about getting the widebody scat
wat u end up going with
Performance wise, id go ZL1, Z06 or really any vette. (C5,C6,C7)
But you can’t beat the looks of the challenger and the interior style.
If Chevy and dodge collabed, I think it would be the best sports/muscle car ever.
Orrr dodge should shaved some weight.
Make a track trim.
Lightweight bucket seats
Rear seat delete(optional)
Light weight wheels
Carbon fiber hood
Less speakers/amps
Less technology in general
But still make it stylish you know.
I think That would be a great move.
So would you get a hellcat or scatpack if you were 24 and have a 5.7???
What sense does it make to have a car that you like, but can't keep past 100k for reliability issues!...
You’re right. Everyone should just buy a Toyota Prius and call it a day. 🤦♂️
@@ocmotivator maybe not that far.lol
T/A 392 is a nice in between, scat pack and SRT.
Hey man i do understand but i have 5.7 hemi im getting supercharger i mean there more mod out there thats why is fun mod the car lol plus the 5.7 block is the same as 6.4 the difference is bored it up
It's not Bored up it's just a Strocker Kit that will cost u 3500$ so buy the 345 put on a Stroker kit the 392 Intake Manifold and a Tune and Boom 620HP for less than 10K 😂 the 345 R/T is Superior if you into cars and Understand the Engines. You can't Build 392 Scat that Good because it's already a Build 345 from SRT that why its called powered by SRT. Only completely new Engine that Dodge Made is the 6.2. And when the 5 7 is so Bad why is the new Drag Pack Challenger the Fastest Challenger ever made with a 5.7 345 Hemi? Let that sink for a sec. 345 is Superior
Have you drove a 2010 challenger SRT8 6.1? Thanks for letting me know not to buy the 5.7.
I haven’t. I did drive a 2014 SRT8 and it was fast!
@@ocmotivator yeah it has the 6.4 same engine as yours but the transmission is different.
All I have to say is my R/T has beaten SRTs off the line and in rolls. I hate wen ppl try to compare a base model R/T to SRTs cuz those are slow. You need a plus premium super track pack package. U will get gains right there. Im stock with 410 to the crank but also have the best year (2015). I'm not rich but if I didn't know any better it's cheaper to mod it and get more power then going and spending another 15k on a scat. Js but ppl have a right to a opinion.
Michael Lowe thanks for lying 🤥
Your R/T has not beaten any 392 in any race.
My r/t has beat a 2018 procharged 5.0 as well. I have no reason to lie. My cars insta is xcocytusx. I post all my races
@@gullylifestyle99 dont have to lie check the Instagram for races. Xcocytusx
@@gavinthroop2839 check the insta. Xcocytusx
Did you get the RT initially thinking that it would be enough motor as well?
Jay Rolls ya. Total impulse buy. Walked into the dealer and bought the car. Should’ve driven the Scat Pack and others. Lesson learned!
Man same here except I'm stuck in mines
5.7 all day. Can do way more with motor then 6.4 and come out cheaper then buying at scat
Love my scat pack it’ll get you in trouble quick enough never considered an rt can’t imagine a hellcat power on the roads mine knocks the tires off at 45mph and pulls till you let out. There are faster cars but imo the scat is a nasty street car. I smile every time I get in it.
The bath you took on the trade in. You could have used to add more power to the r/t and possibly would have made it faster then that stock scat. 🤦🏽♂️
Seriously? You’re kidding right? What about the suspension? Drive shaft, rear end/differential, brakes, etc? What about the skinny wheels and tires? Gotta change those. How about the appearance? Front splitter very different, no sunroof, oh and no performance pages in that RT I had. Not even to mention completely voiding my entire warranty on a brand new car destroying the value and ensuring that I’m stroking checks every time it breaks due to the performance mods. Additionally, engine mods destroy the value of the car for resale or trade in purposes devaluing the car by nearly 50% since no one wants that uncertainty. Or, just lose $4000 and get everything I need in a brand new fully warranted Scat Pack. Hmmm. Seems like I made the right decision to me.
That insurance difference aint worth it
My insurance on my v6 was 250 per month, i went to go trade it in for a scat pack and my insurance went up to 600, i ended up buying a 5.7 cuz that one only went up to 336.... the insurance on scats go up by alot.
Jetta Castaneda when it comes to the price of the scat thats pretty cheap if its fully loaded. Check the car fax on it and if that is all clear call the insurance company and see how much it would b. Your pretty young so expect it to b high. If u can go under your parents.
Rt should have 400hp while the scat Should have 550hp
I agree. They should increase the hp in the RT. It’s just too slow.
The 6.4 is the best way to go only if you are going to do mods on the car... I can't go all out and give my plans for my car but HELL the 6.4 is theeee way to go....
I Spended 7K to my 345 and now it have 620HP. Cheaper than a Scat but Faster. For Speed and Mod 345 for people who just like to say "I drive a 392 SRT" the Scat is good but remember ITS A RT NOT THE SRT! And btw it just says SRT Powered because the Intake Manifold is from SRT and it's the 5.7 Engine with a Strocker Kit made by SRT. What does that say? Spend 7K on the 345 and you'll Gap the Scat all Day
@@ImBehindYouLOOK What all mods did you get? Headers, cam, intake? Just curious. Thinking about modding my RT too.
