I give you my insight on what you need to know prior to buying a new or used Charger or Challenger Scatpack. After a year and a half of ownership there are several things that a potential buyer must be aware of. If you are considering getting a Scatpack this video is a must see.

    I was driving a 2.0 Fusion , loved the car but I got lucky , found a 2016 scat B5 blue 392 with many options for 29g, no dealer prep since they just took it in trade and wasn’t in there inventory yet, I negotiated the deal that day and got one hell of a deal this 2016 had 25,000 miles and the dealer did detail it like any trade ins, 29 grand for a 3+ yr old beauty was a great choice for me , lotsa fun I’m 66 yrs old and don’t miss my Fusion.

    I've owned a 5.7 RT, two 392 Scats and two Hellcats. The Scat 392's felt more fun to daily drive around town because of the low end torque. Right off idle it wil spin the tires so easily. It was all jumpy torque around town which makes it a fun car to drive! The Hellcats will do it too obviously, but the naturally aspirated power of the 392 comes on differently.

Of course driving abilities make all the difference! 🤪 First thing I did was go staggered on my Charger. 275 in the front and 305 in the back. Took some getting used to, but man what a difference!

I'm sure if I had access to a road track the Camaro would prevail but just using the car as a cruiser and playing around town, I'm wondering why I waited so long to pull the trigger on the Mopar! Thanks for all your great videos on the Mopar content as it helped me quite a bit in my car shopping process. Thanks again!

    I was a die hard mustang guy owned several GTs and a 2004 Cobra terminator with a whipple 715 rwhp. I made the transition from Ford to Ram I owned an F250 and a Ram 2500 Rams product has definitely changed over the year for the better. I now own a 2023 Jeep Wrangler 392 Rubicon AWD I follow the 392 channels for content and to learn more about the 392 I do all my maintenance. I transitioned from my mustangs a few years ago and went into the jeep wranglers yeah not as fast but totally different driving experience all together. Needless to say I never looked back I did a few jeep build and when I saw this 392 in a jeep, yeah it was ridiculously overpriced but I knew deep down I had to have it and I pulled the trigger, Definitely No ReGuRtS!!! Hands down one of my best decisions I now have the best of both worlds it’s not my daily driver but damn I love driving this thing. I plan on also purchasing a TRX in the next few years as well go big or go home.😉🙌

    I just traded in my 2020 Charger R/T for a 2022 Charger ScatPack 392. All I can say is WOW. The MOPAR engineers must have come over from the aerospace industry because the vehicle is so sophisticated and such a performer. I might add mine isn't fully broken in yet but I'm getting better gas mileage on the hwy (30 MPG) than what the book says and my performance page says best launch 0-60 is 3.9 seconds. Very comfortable, easy handling, super cold A/C, amazing sound system and you can whisper inside at 80+. By the way be careful pulling up to a parking block. If you hit the air dam too hard it triggers the check engine light. The air dam is controlled by two electric actuators that adjusts dynamic air flow to the radiator based upon outside air temperature. It will be a sad day when the battery powered Dodge comes out in 2024.

Your comments about the insurance and cost of higher octane gas was something that my ego wouldn't let me consider. Thanks for bringing me back down to reality. I do love the 'wow' factor of my R/T. The 6 speed manual shift allows me to make it roar. I think I'll stay with the R/T , go with the Sinomon Stick, and get side stripes instead of the shaker stripe. Thanks.

    I bought my Challenger RT SP 392 WB in Octane Red in May 2019. I've just loved it over the past year. My wife tells me to never get rid of it because she loves it too. In Ontario Canada, the insurance is pretty low, a lot lower than the Hellcat, because the 392 with automatic transmission in eco mode will automatically switch to 4-cyl mode on the highway. It drones a bit in 4-cyl mode but not bad and it doesn't bother me if I have the tunes cranked. It pops back to full 8-cyl immediately if you hit it. There's no 1 to 2 second lag like with the V6. I drove a 2012 V6 Charger for 7 years and it was a very nice ride and got good mileage but I kept craving the V8 so I finally made the leap and I'm very happy that I did. The '19 6.4L Scatpack widebody is an awesome machine. Sometimes when I have it outside the garage for a wash, neighbors walk over to my house just to see it up close and ask questions.

    Great video as Racer X covers key points on what to expect if you purchase Scat Pack. I had a 2018 Scat Pack with the 245 tires. And while I totally understand this tire set up works for some, I was not too happy with the 245s. The 245 set up comes with 9 inch rims. And while I am no expert on the subject I did research the issue, and I found out you can put 275s on the 9 inch rims. However, you are at the minimum rim range with 275s and 9 inch rims. I also looked at buying new 9.5 inch wheels and going with 275s. Though, I see here some owners also replace wheels and go with 305s for the back with 275s on the front. However, I decided to replace the car and I purchased a 2019 Challenger 1320 which came with 275s Nexen Street Drag Radials with 9.5 inch wheels. I use the car for limited daily driving. However, I really enjoy taking road trips with this car. I just got back from a 2,800 mile road trip and the car handles the road in excellent fashion. I am at around 16,000 miles after 10 months of ownership and looks like these street drag radials will need replacing at the 20,000 mark. Agreed, gas mileage on the Scat Pack is limited for in town driving. However on a long road trip with a 60 to 80 MPH range I am getting from 23 to 24 MPG overall.

    As always great information. I drive a 2018 Chrysler 300C which is basically Chrysler's Luxury version of the Charger RT. I don't want to void my warranty so I've only added a Cold air and deleted the rear mufflers. like yourself, I drive in Sports mode which gives me better shifts and throttle response. I just added a Petal Commander and so far I'm impressed with the added accelerator response. I'm not sure if you've had any experience with one, but I'm giving it a try. The true test will be next Saturday at thet drag strip. When new car shopping I had narrowed my selections down to a Mustang GT premium. Challenger RT until I came across the 300C that had been used as a dealership demo. I knew nothing about the Chrysler lineup, but when I opened the hood and set in the soft leather mocha seat. My connection started and I realized I needed something larger than the aformentioned coupes. I was given the 300C for a weekend test drive and found it had a great look inside and out with solid performance and comfort. With the Hugh savings the dealer offered. I traded in my SUV and purchased the 300C. I wanted luxury and performance. A sedan that doesn't look like the other sedans available. I've owned many cars in my life and the Chrysler 300C has to be one of my favorite cars. You're very knowledgeable about the Hemi. Is it worth the investment going to a larger throttle body regarding performance? Thanks for your continued information.

    Thank you for another good video, RacerX! I've daily driven my 2016 SRT 392 for four years now, and I still look forward to getting into it for a ride. The sound, the punch, the comfort. At 6' 3", the Mopar car is the best fit for me. On road trips, I average 25mpg and 18.5 in town. The car has 68k miles on it now and the car has been trouble free (other than the odd interior rattle that shows up now and then on rough roads). One maintenance consideration that I would like to mention is the front brake rotors.. The Brembo 6-piston brakes REALLY bite, and I love knowing that the car will stop when I need it to, but the rotors being slotted prevent most mechanics / shops from turning the rotors. Each rotor is ~$1,000 from Mopar, or $600 aftermarket equivalent. Speaking with the local shops here in Florida, 45k miles seems to be about the time to expect needing new rotors. Just something to consider if you plan on long term ownership.

    The brembo's I believe I read only add 20ft over standard brakes which with standard rotors/brakes the rotors can last the typical 100k with mindful driving habits. Im sure the brembos have great pedal feel/ no brake fade under some spirited driving but for the difference in cost...damn thats wild.

    Great vlog! And at the end of the day you have to realize this is a performance car so you’re gonna be paying more for everything. I think the extra weight is fine except city driving as that’s is where it’s really gonna hurt your gas mileage . The front seats may be comfortable but the back seats are only good for grocery bags LOL. And don’t forget the hemi has been quite reliable where even though Ford is making about the same horsepower out of a 5 L quite a few of the 5.0’s are having engine issues.

    Good video. Your comments on the 245 tires are similar to what I've heard from others. That is why I chose the 5.7 model. I was afraid of getting myself hurt with the 6.4 model based on the tire issue. My only regret with the 5.7 is that I didn't wait 1 year. My 2016 model has the governor on the exhaust, which means the 5.7 doesn't sound like it should. 2017 and later models sound much better because Dodge finally removed the exhaust governor. Other than that, I love the 5.7 car. It's a lot of fun to drive and it's a pretty badass color/stripe package. Shaker model in B5 blue, or Smurf blue as my sister calls it. Badass black stripes to go with the pretty blue.

    I think gas mileage and a selling point for the Hellcat is the reason why the RT and Scst come with 245s. The narrower the tire, the better the mpg. Although not much help, the 275s is exclusive to base Hellcats. Not sure why dodge didnt go 305 or higher with the HC. It already has the gas guzzler tax so mpg isnt a concern

    If you want a slightly nicer interior and more amenities (heated steering wheel, heated and cooled seats, adaptive suspension) an even better option is the SRT 392 which they sadly discontinued. I picked up my 2015 for about $33k from CarMax. 24k miles on the clock. I pay about $240 a month in insurance (through Geico, 29yr old. One previous ticket on record) and just under $500 a month in car note.

    To your first point, I got a 2020 Scat Pack in Octane Red, and the only options on it were the 8 Speed Auto and the convenience package(blind spot detection, power mirrors, etc) because the standard equipment is pretty solid for a car with a $42k sticker, especially weighed against the performance. As for comfort, I was tempted to get the adaptive dampers, but after driving a lowered BRZ for 6 years the standard suspension feels like it might as well be from a Rolls Royce by contrast. Which reminds me, the "Torqueflite" branded ZF 8HP-70 in the Scat Pack is the same transmission(though likely with different programming) Rolls Royce uses in the Phantom, so that should tell you something about the quality of the shifts.

    Bought my 2019 R/T last year, actually ordered it. Go Mango, 8 speed auto, and the R/T classic package, that's it. Got it for a little over 34K. Was thinking about the Scat Pack, but being 64 years old, didn't need the higher maintenance cost, insurance cost, and (at that time) running 93 octane all of the time. Honestly, I am missing the extra snap from the 6.4, but the 5.7 is good enough for what I need.

    Awesome vid, man. I have the 2016 Challenger SXT that I bought as a 19 year old. Thinking about upgrading to the V8 but needed to know if the RT or Scat was better for me. This info def led me more to the RT just because it’ll be my first V8, and the insurance down to the mechanics would be cheaper than the Scat and definitely the Hellcat.

  • @donpotter3935
    @donpotter39354 жыл бұрын

    I had a SXT, a RT and now I have a Scat Pack. From SXT to Scat Pack the difference in insurance was less than $100 every six months. Oil changes are 7 quarts of full synthetic and are $100. I bought a 3 oil change bundle for $150. I have three years to use them. A lot of places do offer bundles. I live in Michigan and I don't drive it in the winter. I have a winter vehicle. The cost of owning a Scat Pack is higher than a SXT or RT. If you live in the south and drive it year around it would be less. Like Racer X said the major downfall is upgrading for power. Very expensive and limited. I couldn't afford a Helcat so I bought what I could afford. My plan is to pay it off then refinance the equity and dump $20K into it. I should be able to get 630 WHP (drop in forged rods and pistons, long tube headers, hellion twin turbos, 8lbs boost, installed and tuned by Janetti racing and a drive shaft. Hope transmission holds; which it should) which would be similar to a Helcat. It should be street reliable. I'm not sure if it would be track reliable not to break if you raced it but what is? I only want to mess around a bit doing rolls anyway so I should be good. In the end I'll have $60K into it but I did it in two steps. If you can afford a Helcat off the rip do it. Once I get to The 630 WHP you're pretty much done unless you want to go the route of boring the motor to a 426. You could do that with a blower and get to 1000 HP. Probably 25 K and up depending on what else you want to change.

    @@donpotter3935 why would you refinance your car when you almost have it paid off? I understand how equities make sense on a trade in but to refinance and add 20,000 more dollars of debt doesn’t sound right, I’m confused

    Great insights. Test drove a beautiful scat pack today and am tempted but I think I’ll wait out for a wide body as the wheels spin out way too easy! I want the power on the road.

    I'm really working to get a V8 next year and a lot of 6.4 owners told me the upkeep is expensive. Thanks for this information.

    Own a 2019 Scat Pack and tried a couple of different Hellcats on the GEICO app to see what the insurance difference would be: about 25% more for a 2017 and about 40% more for a 2020.

    Damnit that’s a bummer, I want to upgrade next year but that’s a potential game changer at 340 a month with a Scat

    Erie insurance quoted me $770/ year for a 19 scatpack and I have substantially upgraded insurance protection.... but I'm 41. They make it tough for young people to have nice things. It took me this long to get my first v8 rear wheel drive car. I still drive it like a teenager though.

    Yeah I think I was paying like 420 every six months for the scat and now I’m up to like 660 every six months for the hellcat so it definitely goes up I don’t know if it’s because I live in California and of course they gouge whatever you do in California
