BUY 392 Over Hellcat
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Dodge Challenger 392 Scatpack or Hellcat SRT 6.2L Supercharged V8 Hemi. Why would anyone buy a 6.4L 392 SRT, Scatpack, Daytona or T/A over a Hellcat SRT? In this video we will talk about why a 392 is a better option over Hellcat if you're looking to buy a Charger & Challenger. The Hellcat is an amazing performance ride but there is more to ownership then just performance.
How Much for Hellcat vs How Much for Scatpack is one of the reasons why the 392 is a no brainer for most people.

Can't go wrong with either 392 or Hellcat! The 392 was a great fit for me personally. HAPPY NEW YEAR 2023!!!
It really is got caught in rainstorms and managed to keep great control.
Enjoy that beast bro ! She looks beautiful and can't wait to see what's in store !
I have seen a lot of Dodge Challenger Scatpacks on the road and I do have videos of them in my Mopar playlist.
Just being honest, you can upgrade the internals, etc.. and come out cheaper than buying a new HellCat… Unless you buy a used HellCat…
Do you still have the 397?
The 392 Scat Pack is the best bang for your buck. It has more than enough power to daily it and take it to the track. I’ve had my scat pack challenger since 2018 and every time I turn it on it brings a smile to my face💪🐝
If your car doesn't make one smile, they got the wrong car. Mine makes me smile everytime I start it.
Honestly I would be happy with any trim level on any Mopar even a V6.The world we live in nowadays is not the same,a lot of people are struggling with no jobs,no home and no car.I know some guys who I work with are taking the bus to work,not to preach or nothing but I'm just thankful for the things that I have.So all my Mopar lovers enjoy what you got even if it's a V6 and just pay no mind to the ignorance, everybody's living situation is different.Imma ride my RT until the wheels fall off.Enjoy your rides guys,were not promised tomorrow 🤟👍
I couldn't agree anymore. Hopefully 2023 turns around for so many people. We're also heading in a very different direction in 2024 so I'm going to try enjoying the hell out of my Charger/Challenger for as long as I can.
The charger GT looks really nice body wise for V6 looks muscular👍🏼
I, personally, feel like you made the right decision going with the 392. There are so many Hellcat-this and Hellcat-variant- that videos out there already. If you do half for the 392 that you did for the 5.7, I'd venture to guess you'd have the most top quality channel out of anyone in the RUclips world with regard to Mopar content. I've been watching your channel for years and I still come back to reference things from time to time because what you've put out has been just that good. I can't wait to see what you do with the 392.
Thanks man, def appreciate that. Plenty of content & fun with this 392 is coming. Happy New Year - hope 2023 does great for you.
@@RTLife thanks, brother! Happy New Year to you and yours. May it be a blessed one.💪😎
Agreed
100% agree with this as well!!
I love the 392. I'm keeping mine NA. Going to stroke it, better intake, throttle body, add long tubes, and a tune. Fun times ahead!
You will be making plenty of HP with a stroker & long tubes. With the right upgrades around it that's a 10 second car
You can also add a 100-125 shot of nos and still keep up and even beat some hellcats.Quite a few have already done it in both the Challengers and Chargers.
Cam it too, bigger cam shaft will net you up to 80 horses maybe more.
This is what I'm wanting to see. Someone actually doing some mods on a 392. 👍🏼
They will 100% come. Just need to start saving up & figuring out which direction I want to go in 1st. This 392 will be ripping
@@RTLife I know what you mean man. Been following you for several years now. Wheels & tires is where I know you're gonna start! 😉
WOW ! really excited for this. now you're one of us ! haha 392 \m/
We're going to have fun the next couple of years with this beast!
The Challenger Scat Pack Widebody with a manual is a chefs kiss
Ur stroker Charger sounds a lot more powerful than 450 horse the exhaust note screams power
Please do a topic video on 392 engines taking boost because the bulk of the car community says they hate boost
Before the turbos it was 450whp. I loved that power level - it was so much fun! The 392 sounds amazing once you hit that sport mode.
@@RTLife how much is the Charger stroker throwing down now? Ive been low key here since the Charger was stock
It's at 730whp on 10lbs of boost & 770whp on 12lbs. I've been rolling around with 10lbs because the fueling needed to be upgraded. It's pretty fast! Thanks man for supporting the channel basically from the start. Always appreciate it
I have the 5.7 charger and I love it !!! It puts a smile on my face !!! I would really love to make a little more hp too but none the less I still smile when I punch it !!!
When you hear that Hemi - it's so much fun! I have always enjoyed it no matter the power level. I crack a smile every time I drive my wife stock 5.7L Jeep! It's a blast
As a 392 challenger owner, I’m looking forward to this. Thanks and happy new year
I have a video coming up of this thing ripping around. Man the 392 sounds great right out of the box
@@RTLife I only put TrackHawk tips on mine. Haven’t been in a hurry to change anything else on the exhaust yet
Happy New Year! I love my 392, a good balance of power for everyday driver/fun car. You need to unlock track mode with your Tazer, the shifts and rev matching on down shifts is so much fun.
Happy New Year, I really hope you & your family have a wonderful 2023. I'm going to def install the tazer! Unlock some of those hidden features.
And I agree, th Scat stock was fun. I kept wanting to mod, but it felt great as it was. Modified the shift points and nitto555r tires and bam, it was crazy.
The HP/Torque is perfect for the street. It drives amazing at the power level it's at. I don't blame people for keeping it stock or close to stock power level.
Turning my scatpack up very soon. Really looking forward to it bro
A 392 with 500-520 whp its heaven on earth from the sound the torque and the speed man its great
I love the idea of being around 500whp range in a 392. It's a lot of performance & with that kind of power you can really screw with a lot of people LOL
@@RTLife Most definitely just gotta make sure you have the right tires at all times
I have driven both a hellcat and a 392 I will tell you the 392 is perfectly balanced in my opinion. The hellcat drinks so much in gas it's almost not worth it because how many times I was at the gas station.
What’s my real love for the 392 Hemi is the heritage of it all. Gen 1 Hemi’s at the peak where 392s. NASCAR championship winning motors for sure. Then they morphed into the engine of choose for Top-fuel and top alcohol dragsters pushing 200 n the 60s and early 70s. So for me bringing the past back in a bigger and better way was very important to these Scatpacks. There is really nothing like those 392 Hemi emblems on my car’s shaker scoop. For ultimate blast from the past the Scatpack R/T is where it’s at. Hellcats are new generation beasts that take it to another level. But if you like that old school vibe, Scatpack is where you want to play.
Personally I'm glad you went for a scat...I have a scat charger myself and I haven't done anything to it at all just driving as is so I would definitely like to follow your mod journey on the 6.4 platform and see if I can adapt some stuff you do as well
I will have upgrades coming in the next couple of months. I love how it drives stock - going to make sure this 392 is worth modding in the next couple of months.
Ya know, thinking about it, everything you can do for a NA build would be cool. It keeps the working man in the loop of reality. What can you do? Stroke to a 440 with a cam? Tons of suspension upgrades. Torque converter. Cold air intake.
I was thinking - cam/long tubes/suspension/converter/intake/wheels & done. See where that lands me
I felt my scatpack was out of control at times....especially at higher speeds changing lanes hitting the brakes.....I did have fun with it, but my redeye seems to have better traction control and feels more planted to the road
I'm glad you got the 392 challenger. Now you have both charger/challenger. What a life. Just waiting to see what you do with it.
392 is the Best bang for the buck my opinion.
I think for street/strip use the 392 the best. The price tag is much better, hellcats are crazy expensive once you see how much it will be per month total
Great video like always! I'm glad that you are staying true to yourself and channel and not all over the place like some other RUclips channels!🇺🇸
I'm going to really enjoy having this Charger/Challenger combo. Both fit my life personally & hopefully continue entertaining everyone on the channel. I really appreciate the support!
Glad your showing the 392 some attention instead of the hellcat, it’s obvious direct connections let us scat pack owners hanging !!
I just got the 392 shaker on Friday. I absolutely love it! Im perfectly fine with the power it has already. Im just going to enjoy that juicy horsepower. lol
At the end of the day every modern hemi is made from the same block the only difference is what’s put into it. (Excluding the new 426 hellalephant & the 5.7 for the drag pack which are aluminum based)
I found a website that sells the 1320 torque converters. The 1320 springs are around 260
It's a direct swap & will not break the bank. Both will def improve your 1/4 mile
Really surprised you didn’t pick up a 1320. But I’m happy to see you excited about your new ride
That would have been pretty cool as well.
I’m so glad you chose a Challenger scat. I also watch Racer X, and that is because he had a scat. Then he got a mustang and had no vids on the scat. Especially building a scat. I have a 2021 challenger scat pack and I am going to enjoy watching you build yours ,to maybe build mine. Thinking about camming mine to get 82 more hp. Thank you!!
When I drive my hellcat I keep it in the 500hp setting all the time, unless I’m racing on the freeway then I give it all the beans 🫘 that’s when the Hellcat shines. It’s not so Squirrley off the line in the 500 mode. 👍👍
Yoo I'm late , congratulations my guy . Ngl I wanted you to get a Cat at first, BUT 4:18 your absolutely right. There's is a notion that Scats can't hold boost in the car community and while I know that's false, you're about to prove it to them it is very buildable platform just like you did with the 57. Salute my guy🎉💯
Thanks man, def appreciate the support. Going to have fun with the 392 & take my time with the process. All of these Mopar trims are great.
With just a few basic mods my 392 grand Cherokee runs really strong and is a blast to drive. 🔥🔥🔥
I agree with your reasoning. If I put the pedal down on my 392, its backend slides around even at 50 mph. That's already too much power aka the perfect amount. What would I do with a Hellcat??
Nice thing about NA is the rumble. Bigger cylinder = deeper tone. I swapped the mid-mufflers with Dynomax 24250 Mini Race Bullets, and this gave it the perfect edge without being too obnoxious.
Looking forward to this chapter on your channel!
👊🏻🏁 Happy New Year!
I agree with you my 392 long tube headers high flow cats jlt intake Diablo tune and at the dyno tune from hhp performance and I'm putting 470 at the wheel horsepower and torque roughly 550 crank and I enjoy it I will be putting in a cam and getting me over the 500 Mark at the wheel would be nice but that's what I plan on doing in the near future so I'm happy to see that you're actually going to do a naturally aspirated engine also
Want to start out buy saying I agree with your choice but I do want to point out HellCats have a black key don’t forget that puts you around that 500hp mark and if you need more it’s as simple as pulling out the red key!
Yep, when the road conditions are questionable, I'll put it in 500hp mode. Definitely makes it more manageable.
i owned T/A 392 and it was a blast! Sold it and got a Hellcat and boy its a monster. Everyone needs and situations are different so get whats best for you. i have seat time in both and honestly say hellcat checks all boxes. Put u a set of nitto555rs or toyo888 on and it hooks
yah you def need radials on a Hellcat. That's probably upgrade #1
THANK YOU FOR THE MOTIVATION SIR.
It's also a bit cheaper to insure the car. HC is bada$$, but getting your insurance company to insure a supercharged car can be pricey if not impossible.
I'd love a 7 liter(426)NA engine w/11:1 comp, factory 6.4 cam and SRT factory exhaust for my '14 Chrysler 300C. That will make over 500 RWHP no problem and be driveable, yet still open up a can of whoopa$$ when you stomp on the loud pedal.
Thanks for the video!
The cost of ownership overall is so much more expensive for the Hellcat - by a long shot. The 392 is a great value performance wise per $$$. That's at least my take on it. Both are a blast to drive
Challenger 1320 with the same 392 Hemi run 11.75 factory rated 1/4 mile times but many guys are running 11.40's and quicker!!! Mod the engine a little and 10's! The 1320 does have a better trans and track set up but besides that the 392 485 hp is the same as your car!
YUP! It's potential is very high. It's crazy the times you can get without even tuning. Dodge did a great job with the 392
I've got a 1320 as well! Love it! Looking forward to see what he does with a 392. My best run so far was an 11.974, full weight, zero mods.
Selfishly I love that you went with the 392 because that's what I have so it will be fun to follow along. I went with the 392 for many of the same reasons. As far as choices for your channel I think it's a good choice as well because there has already been a bazillion channels that have done the Hellcat every witch way there is possible.
1st. Happy new Year and I’m happy for you and your 392 purchase. And your logic in this video makes a lot of sense. I used to have a 392 and I miss it and love my Hellcat today also. HOWEVER, we both know if a budget wasn’t an issue I feel in my heart you would’ve went and bought a Hellcat. Keep it real brother. The Hellcat can be equally manageable and chill. I ain’t hating I’m just saying. Still happy for you and enjoy your ride.
The 392 is a pretty healthy engine, if I wasn't so curious on what to see what the Hellcat was all about I would've kept my other car. Dodge said that more hp is additive when driving their cars. Atleast I increased mine w/ a warranty.
I hear you on that. Hey if you have the $$$ it's a no brainer. I just didn't want to build up a 900-1000+hp Hellcat. I have a Twin-Turbo 397 Charger already
You are so damn right the 392 is better. Plus it’s not like a hellcat just leave a 392 like a mile or even a half a mile
Happy new years and thanks for your awesome content
Happy for you RT! She’s a killa for real. #KeepTheV8Alive
We need to keep these v8's! They're so much damn fun.
And I think you are releasing videos at time when I just don't see the notifications. Because now there is another one I missed. The KVV one. That one is scary.
I think youtube is screwing this channel. Nothing ever takes off, no video really reaches a wider audience anymore.
Happy new year. Can't wait to see all the great things you'll be doing with this beautiful Scat. I'm keeping mine for the long term.!
I don't blame you! Dodge is moving in a different direction so I'm going to be hanging onto my Charger & Challenger for a long time! Happy New Year - I hope 2023 treats you great
6.4 is great Platform to do
N/A with the right mods and Most important the right tuner that can work on mopar and I'm doing N/A too and I win 85% of my racing with just tune/ LT header weight reduction and my goal is to reach 600whp without boost or nitrous I can't wait to see you Mexico 😅
I want to throw the radials on this beast & see how it does vs other stock rides. Going to be heading to Orlando Speedway to see how it does soon! 600whp is plenty to bury people with in races.
@@RTLife radials and weight reduction you can feel the power better big different my guy
The whine in the Hellcat takes a way from the pure engine sound. It's like putting on two perfumes, it's better to enjoy one at a time not both. For me I'd add this reason, which is pure engine no whine on the 392.
nothing beats naturally aspirated big V8 sound
After having both , it really depends on the price of both. I got my hellcat for $59k last year with 34k miles and it’s a 2016. Some people paying that for scats now. Over all for the money, the scat is cheaper and more affordable.
I have a Charger RT 392 Scat Pack cant wait to see what you do as far as power to see if I can do some of that to mine
Affordability aside, I totally agree that the 392 is a better fit for your channel. As far as fun, sound, drivability, etc. There's just no comparison brotha - everything is better in a hellcat. 💪😁👍
LOL fair enough! I do love that supercharger whine. The usable power though of the 392 is so nice - you don't smoke up your tires on every acceleration when you want to get moving.
Still the R/T king. Constant and consistent quality content throughout the years, thank you 👍💯
Thanks man! Def appreciate the support. It's been a lot of fun making these videos & growing the channel.
@@RTLife No doubt, congrats on the Scat too. Enjoy that beast, might try upgrading to one this year myself
Makes a lot of sense going with the scat pack along side the charger. Buddy of mine put in a cam in his 392 and tuned it for a nice power gain. I’ll ask him what he did -> modern muscle extreme cam for NA 392, .080 Manley pushrods (since you’re there anyway). 445 hp and 463 lb-ft to the wheels.
Im really excited to see what you go with, especially with a NA 392 Chally! Being as I have a 21' 1320 this is perfect timing!!
I just traded in my 2013 Charger RT Plus for my 2020 challenger scat a month ago and man I love this upgrade its a addiction driving the scat in track mode 🔥
It's going to be a great NA build. Looking forward to seeing what you do to your 392. Hay, maybe you make it AWD 🤔 Definitely must stay tuned!! HAPPY NEW YEAR WISHES TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY R/T!!!
Thank you very much! I hope you & your family have a wonderful 2023. I appreciate the support
I traded in my base 22 charger cat for a fully loaded 21 392 Durango. To be honest, it’s not much slower on the street and will beat my old cat off the line to about 50 or 60 after that we already know though lol. Anyway, I’m really digging the 392 AWD setup, such a perfect combo vs price.
My man just loves the 6.4 platform and I don't blame him though
3:12 The throttle blip at the end. Sheesh! 💪
I’m a 5.0 guy but god I absolutely love the way that 6.4 sounds 😍
Wish you could have found a 392 300! I looked for almost a year to find mine and had to travel several hours to get it. I'm sure they are even harder to come across now. Real head turner, at least in my part of FL. All the military folks here have Chargers and Challenger' Scats and it's always fun to roll up on one who doesn't know that they came in Chrysler's for a short period😂
Love it
Im starting my rear mount twin turbo build on 2016 scatpack charger,also my 05 v6 magnum wagon doing a 5.7 swap twin turbo build.
Happy 2023 to all
NICE!!! You're going to be making some really nice power going twin-turbo. Happy New Year! Hope 2023 treats you good
I've been daily driving my challenger scat pack shaker for 4½ years now. every time i start it up, it puts a smile on my face. i went with Dynomax 24250 Race Mini Bullets in place of the middle mufflers. sounds similar to a mid muffler delete, but slightly deeper. very unique sound.
I may be biased but, my T/A 392 (6 speed manual) is a hoot to drive! It doesn’t take much for me to break loose but it’s extremely manageable. I can’t imagine doing the same with a hellcat…. I’m digging the new direction of your channel!!
Agreed. Not everyone needs a Hellcat. I have a Daytona 5.7 L and I love it. If I ever decide to upgrade, it will be to a Daytona 392, Shaker 392 or T/A 392, not a Hellcat. And don’t get me wrong, I love looking at a Hellcat, it’s just that it doesn’t make sense for me.😎⚓️
Had the 5.7 for 2 years and the Scat now for2 years and it was definitely worth the upgrade. Need a direct connection update video on the 392 scat packs
direct connection has forgotten about the 392 stage kits. Like most things Dodge has been doing lately, it's a major flop.
_I _ am not going to read the comments before I give my opinion lol and I know I will get a lot of shit for what I have to say :)_ ...Great choice going with the 392.. if I had to do it all over again I would have gone straight to the *__392 6 speed_* as a starting point for a number of reasons (Better rear end, bigger brakes, and noooooo MDS lifters to deal with lol just to name a few)... Yes the HELLCAT is a great car for the price for what you get but too much as a daily driver price/ins/maintenance etc ... (on the flip side if you are young single /retired and have the extra cash and not a daily it would make more sense)... *_one keynote I am not a fan of buying these cars used or any performance car... unless you absolutely know the history because so many of these cars are leased beat up then returned..._* guarantee you will have problems down the line and if you are making payments and have no means to fix it your screwed and at the mercy of the dealer to fix (if under warranty). on top of everything, I still think prices for these cars are over bloated for a platform that has not changed much since 2008. (15-year-old platform)
The cost difference between the 2 is drastic when you breakdown the monthly total expenses. Not even close - the 392 for the price is a blast. In my opinion it's at the perfect power level for street/strip. Hellcats are amazing - I just don't think the price tag is worth it.
@@RTLife agree
I am really looking forward to seeing you mod the 392. I need some direction for my T/A 392.
I'm bias 'cause I drive a Scat Charger. However, another guy in my neighborhood has a Hellcat Charger. He can go by all day and you wouldn't even know that he is on the road. I put a MBRP Street cat back exhaust on my Charger. And everyone in the neighborhood hears me start my car and go on down the road. The first time I test drove a Scat, it was a TA 392 Challenger with a 6-speed in Destroyer Grey. I couldn't stop smiling the entire time I was on the test run.
If you can't put the power to the ground (on the street), then what good is having it realistically? If you're into spending BIG bucks on sets of tires every year with plenty of smoky burnouts, and money is no object. then go big.I personally know that if you own a powerful quick and fast street legal vehicle, you're going to use that power when ever you are in control of it. Ya got it, ya use it. Tickets, increased insurance costs and loss of your license are also to be considered. Been there, done that.
get some good tires solves that issue on the hellcat or 392( nitto555r or toyo888r
Still love the 392s. All I would need is exhaust, tune, CAI, and tires and I'd be in heaven!😇🤗🤩
I just bought a 23 WBSP M6 in Octane Red. That car gets far more attention than I want, but I understand why. Even as old as the design is, theres no modern muscle car that captures the badassness of HotWheels like this car imo. The 392 in the city is far more than you need power wise, but still mostly manageable with gas and insurance expenses. I have a shitty, albeit short commute to work so I dont get to enjoy much of a smooth drive, but the time Im in it makes traffic much more barrable.
I want to take you for a ride in my Cammed G8 GT, and get your thoughts in comparison to the 392, it makes similar power, but I bet it’s put down in a different way.
I'm always up for that. Are you close to FL?
Coming from a hellcat owner, nice video!
This is what we do 😁👍 nice looking vehicle
LOL! Thanks man - always appreciate the support!
@@RTLife You’re welcome been here since the beginning you’re basically the reason I got back into doing Mopar’s😊👍
If I were to own a Mopar, it would either be a 392 or an R/T. If I owned an R/T, I'd add an E-Force supercharger, a limited slip differential, and I'd call it good. I like that power level because it makes a well-balanced package. You have power that you can use on the street and you can use all of it. My brother owns a Hellcat. Anything more than half-throttle and it lights up the tires. If you do WOT pulls, you're letting off the gas 5 seconds later. It's too much horsepower for the street and you can't use all of it. Unless you like taking your car to a dragstrip, the 392 is a better value for your money. My Procharged V6 Mustang makes about 440 rwhp and it's just dumb ass fun to drive on the street. At that power level, it is easy to find competitive races at the dragstrip. Would I pour a ton of money into modding a 392? Hell no. I don't want to pay the Mopar tax.
Yah That was my second point. I think the 392 is at a great power level for both street/strip use. Like you stated, the Hellcat is a bit much for daily or street use without radials - it's over kill for a RWD car. That's why so many get into accidents with them.
The 392 is a better option for a daily and occasional fun. If you are a serious racer and want speed, then the Hellcat is the obvious choice.
I love my scat. This damn car raises my heart rate every time i drive it. I added a Magnaflow Xmod exuast and put some wider tires on it with 6 piston Brembos in the front. It's an amazing ride.
They're so much damn fun! 392 with a few upgrades around it is all you need. Mine is stock right now & I love driving it around. The XMod exhaust is amazing - I have that on my Charger
You made right choice imo less chance of it getting stolen
👍🏽💯And plus it’s your money..
Very very true! The 392 was just a great fit for me
There just haters and attention whores.
If I was to pull the trigger on buying some newer muscle, the Challenger 392 would be a definite consideration, or a 5.7 Shaker version of I could find one.
The Shaker is always a good idea. But both hemi options are a blast to drive.
As you know I love the 392 platform. Do I like hellcat power? Sure. But you can't get a Shaker hellcat. Anyways, old news. I think it is a great idea having a NA 392 build. And I have said time and time again, it's still an R/T. I have an R/T badge on my car from the factory. Awesome choice. So excited to see what you'll do with it.
I'm going to go at a snails pace but this 392 will be ripping when done. It's such a fun power level for street/strip action.
I think the Hellcat is a great car for those who have no debt, got retirement covered and able to pay cash for it. It is NOT a car for those that are not well off or living paycheck to paycheck.
People don't realize how much money they will need to retire! They better run some calculations and get on the stick before its too late!
I took the same option - 392. I could have gotten a hellcat but that is a 100% track car. 392 is more of a street car, plenty of power.
Hemi 5.7 V8 engine 3rd generation from 2005-2010 , Hemi 5.7 V8 engine 2011-2022 , I don't want to forget SRT8 Hemi 6.1V8 2007-2013 , Hemi SRT8 6.4 are Hellcat killers mods and cammed and headers and Whipple supercharger and turbo, 5.7 Hemi V8 engine is Dodge version of Chevy LS engine, 6.4 Hemi 392 from second generation Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 easy can swap in V6 Dodge Charger and Dodge Challenger V6 to V8 engine swap
You're right with mods 5.7 Hemi V8 engine just as much horsepower hemi hellcat engine
I bought a Challenger 392 six speed ON PURPOSE! I was looking for old school muscle car LOOK and feel and rolling into each gear feels perfect with 392 tip-in torque that you don't get with boosted cars. Now let's talk about my livable insurance and 27 MPG cruse control MPG that makes it something I don't even think about while my Hellcat guys groan everyday as the gauge drops like an elevator floor indicator. ;
BTW none of them can take me 0-60 on street tires. ;
I was in the market for a Hellcat or a 392 but instead I bought the SRT 392 not the Scatpack , but an actual SRT 392 . The SRT 392 is phenomenal and is an amazing car to drive you get to feel and have a full experience of driving a 392 not like a Hellcat where you feel grounded especially when you’re driving in little towns and roads you really can’t open her up and feel like experience
392 Scat Pack over Hellcat any day. The Scat is a 6.4L V8, much cheaper and if you add a Whipple Bell Super Charger or Edle Broke Super Charger.... It produces much more horsepower then the hell cat. Slap a 274 Comp Cam with a couple upgrades an it'll destroy all the hellcats even the demon
Congrats on the new 392🙌🏽‼️
I'd still go Hellcat. It's not going to be a daily. It's going to be a toy that gets maybe 5,000 miles a year on dry and sunny days. The modern muscle box will be checked off the bucket list and it will be sold or traded in after a year or two.
Nice! You will not regret it. Having that much HP is a blast - just make sure to get upgraded tires!
I totally agree with you. I can’t wait to see your bill.
One big thing is, the car Ins. Is way lower by half.
yup. the overall expenses of owning a hellcat is almost double of 392.
Great choice my friend!!! Ive had many opportunities to buy a Hellcat, but the Shaker Scat Pack looks so much better! Thats why I would buy another one. Ive been eye balling a 1320 Scat Pack, but I have too many projects on my plate that need to be completed.
I wish there was a 1320 for me to buy. Still have yet to see a used one for sale. It's one of my favorite packages from Dodge.
@@RTLife You cant go wrong with any Scat Pack. Keep an eye on your water pump. They suffer from premature wear.
I'm ready to see how you mod this car now, you came from a long way with the RT and made it a beast, I can't wait to see how you do your scat
I plan on getting a challenger with the manual transmission in a couple years I'm thinking about a hellcat or a 6.4 trim
Hellcats where it's at. Beast mode.
they're def beasts
I'm not going to lie but the 392 scat pack has the better sound than Hellcat V8 engine, my cousin has Dodge Charger Wide body Scat Pack 2021 with twin turbo and shaker supercharger and mid muffler delete and 6.2 Demon Cam , my cousin loves Scat Pack over the Hellcat V8 engine my cousin said my Scat Pack Charger Wide body from 485 to 790hp than Chevy Camaro ZL1 LT4 , my cousin sold 2009 Pontiac Grand Prix G8 with LT4 Supercharger swap engine to Scat Pack Charger Wide body from Car Max, my cousin is happy buy used Scat Pack Charger low mileage only had 6,000 miles , the previous owner was 85 years old man died from cancer and army veteran, fought in world 2 and Vietnam war.
IMO, there is a bigger crowd for the scat pack content than the hellcat crowd. And hellcats are so friggin expensive. Cheers.
Couldn't agree with you anymore.
I currently own a scatpack shaker and I do roll races often, I lose most of the time 😂
If you’re not gonna Forge the scat pack your oil pressure light and a lot of other things are gonna go bad I’m in the shop right now but nice core it is fun
Can't wait til u put tires on ur 392 love ur car I love my 2020 RT charger wouldn't mine a challenger RT to go with my charger to have both.
I hope you get it! You'll love having that Charger/Challenger combo. Once those radials go onto the 392 it's game time.
Wish I could show u my car u taught me about tires so put 315 and 275 radials on my.
