- Take a look at why I feel that the Challenger Scatpack might be even more fun to drive on the street than Dodge's monster hellcat. Both of these cars are fantastic to own and drive. See if you agree with my assessment.

I find myself taking the extra long way home just to drive and hear my challenger more!!
Haha.. I’m right there with ya 👍
I do that exact same thing 😂
Lol, I look for excuses to go out and drive my SRT 392 all the time
No excuses needed 🤜🔥🔥
Lol too funny I do the same!
Has 6.4liter engine and says, “This little engine.” Haha 😂 Lol
Compared to a 440, yeah it makes sense
They got a big ass one called the elephant hemi 1000 horse power
Gerson Posadas I wish I had it.
No, a “fantastic little motor” 🤣
Count how many times he says "little"
After driving a 392 anytime I can't get the smile off my face
Agreed James 👍
I have it since mid 2018 and trust me... It never gets old 💪
My 2019 Scat Pack Challenger with the 6 speed is too much fun to drive!!
Heck yea brother 👍
Got a 2016 6 speed Scat and I agree
I agree. I have a 16 SP M6 too. 👍
Hope you & your wife have a awesome weekend! Mmmmmmm I beg to differ! Jusssss something about that Hellcat supercharger whine! & I’ve driven both! Guesssss what I’m driving this weekend just to try out! The HERTZ KENDRICK MOTORSPORTS CAMARO SS! Also check out JMC RIDES new Charger Hellcat! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Got a 2019 widebody scatpack brand-new 6speed brother sounds like a beast from the factory especially in track mode. Much louder than the auto I'm feeling you bro 💯
40 rolls in second gear will damn near break your neck if you dont anticipate the kick when you punk it I love my 392
Johnny Kilroy .. lol it will catch you off guard
What year is your car. I’ve got 2 more years before i buy mine and im trying to figure out if i want scatpack over hellcat. My son has a 2016 R/T 5.7 and it’s fun as hell as it is thanks for anything you can say about what you have
Robbie Frentz Mine is a 18 I will eventually get a hellcat but the scat is plenty fast. (All on streets tires 285s) 4 sec flat 0-60 8.9 0-100 1/4 mile 12.2 at 117. 1/8 at 7.9 and did well over 170 with ease. The used market you can get the best bang for buck got mine with 7.5k miles for 34k.
Johnny Kilroy
Sweet thanks. I love the shaker hood. I am leaning towards the scatpack. I figure if it isn’t enough I could always procharge it. Also wondering what gear ratio is for a manual trans
Robbie Frentz Be careful pro charging the stock block the high piston rings don’t take to well to boost. And I’m not sure on the gear ratio my car is an auto
Why the Scat always gotta be "This little Scatpack"
Haha .. I sort of refer to everything as “this little” 😂
@@RacerX9 anything besides Hellcat and Demon, is little and how I always take it when you say that lol
I call hellcats little too sometimes haha
Curtis Fleabag: You don’t expect that to ever change do you ?
I was saying the same thing he should stand directly in front of a little scatpack let me punch it and see if it's still little when he's 50 feet in the air lol😂😂😂
Thanks for the videos you do, I really loved your 0 ~ 60 tire comparisons and the fact that you own both the Hellcat and the Scat Pack, you flat tell it like it is, with zero partiality! Thank You for that!
Absolutely David.. much appreciated 👍
I really enjoyed every bit of this video!
I have vision loss so sadly I don’t drive any more yet I am just almost as happy when I was driving and it’s all thanks to wonderful people such as yourself!
Thanks for this video, I appreciate your wisdom and your sense of humor!
I'm sorry to hear about your vision, I hope you get fun rides 🙏🏻
@@petethecarfreak3486 Could be worse but thanks! ✊🏻. ☯️
I’m sure the extra 200 HP would be great but most of the time I’m boxed in traffic or constantly run into slow vehicles and can’t stretch my legs...I’m happy w my 392...especially with my Corsa Extreme 😮😮
But I still look at buying a 🐈 one day.
Jason Kowalski .. I don’t think you can go wrong with either one 👍
Do you notice a difference with the Corsa?
Jason Holloway
Night and day. Actually quieter than stock when cruising. Zero drone. Anything over 1/2 throttle and look out...WOT is ridiculous in a good way. Pops and crackles on decel especially in manual mode. Tunnels are a blast 😝 Fit and finish are excellent. Installed myself. It’s expensive yes...but worth every penny IMO
@@392Cherokee So quieter cold start I assume (my neighbors have complained) and daily driving in Eco/Sport is quieter, till you accelerate. I do like how it normally pops when letting off the accelerator. So the Pops are louder. I live in Germany, which has quite a few tunnels. I cant resist when I drive through them!!
Jason Holloway
Actually cold starts are very loud but quiet down after it idles down.....
You did a great job describing the Scat pack driving experience. I came from a Procharged 6.2 and I just like the more linear feeling 6.4 as a daily driver.
I’m right there with you my friend 🤜
I'm looking at a first generation 08 Challenge with a Pro Charged 6.1. It only has 58,000 miles. They are wanting $19,000.00. It looks cherry inside and out, and a clean Carfax. Should I have concerns?
My durango hellcat shits on my scat all day. Feeling. Sounds. Just everything.
Great to hear the truth… We love both our 6.4 L
@@tonyr4545 did you get it? Personally I don't like to buy modified vehicles since it hinders reliability before I even do something
You just made the Scat pack R/T my dream car! Thank you very much! Love it!
Been watching you for a long time… Now me and the wife got “Two Scatpacks 6.4L” I’m so extremely happy to have them cars 🏎💯
Great video, super informative. You know a lot and presented it well. I'm currently shopping for a widebody, really want the Hellcat but I think the Scat Pack makes more sense for a daily driver.
I purchased my Scat pac in October I love it, I wouldn’t trade it in for nothing!!! My Scat pac is my daily driver
They make great daily drivers 👍
How’s the gas? Thinking about getting the Scat Charger 17
I think a lot depends on your driving style. You can still get pretty darn good gas mileage if you stay out of the pedal 👍
RacerX, watching your channel on power adders, if I delete my cats will I loose low end toque? And would I need a tune ?
Claude Ratliff .. I don’t believe you will lose any torque on a Hellcat or Scatpack by deleting the cats. You will need a tune since the cat sensors need to be tuned out 👍
Excellent points I have a 2016 Scat Pack shaker , and agree with you 100% . I love your Channel and great content is always fun to watch . Cheers
Thank you Mike.. much appreciated 👍
I’ve only just gotten through the 500 mile break-in on my ‘21 Scat Pack so I haven’t punished it too much yet, but dang I’ve had the same grin on my face every minute I’ve driven it. Awesome sound, and fun to drive.
I have a 2019 widebody scat pack best 0 to 60 4.2 best quarter mile time 12.2 on the stock 305 tires this thing is a beast on the street love your videos keep them coming
Scott Gianoli .. thank you Scott 👍
That hellcat garage start is awesome !!! My neighbors talk about my RT hah
Thats for making a little less sad from not owning a hellcat
I have a 16' scatpack 392 superbee w/shaker and it's a blast to drive (
I agree with you my friend 👍
This is god to hear
Again another great video! One of the Best car channels on TH-cam keep the really good & informative content coming I'm definitely fan!👍🏾👍🏾
Hellraiser 707 .. thank you my friend.. much appreciated
This video was sooo good, you really described the 2 cars really well, my dream car is a Charger Hellcat:)
I love my Challenger Scat Pack, it's the most fun I have ever had in a car. That being said, I still want a Hellcat!
My wife and I both have scat packs. Her’s is a auto charger, and mine is a manual challenger. We love them both! So fun!
Love my 2019 scat pack Challenger !!! And after watching your 0-60 video. I keep watching my times. And to my surprise with the stock Goodyear’s I hit a 4.7 and I love to brag to all my Hellcat friends. Lol . Thanks for the great videos and this is Don not Grace lol. She is scared of the power . Hahaha
Grace Hadix .. nice work Don.. it’s fun to try to better your own time 👍
3:34 Your face told me everything I needed to know lmao
Haha that’s my holy crap face 😂
Hellcat is my Dream car and coming soon.... Love the Vids love the channel
Moe Yo .. hope you get that beast soon 👍
Great video man.....love the sound of the scat pack when u step on it
Thank you Ivan Drago .. lol.. yes for a stock car I think it sounds great
Just picked up a TorRed widebody 392 scatpack challenger...still breaking it in, but wow, fun fun so far..have been VERY gentle with it..but took it on a road trip to Newport Beach, and all those Ferrari boys nodding respect was nice...great driving csr..
I love my scat pack Stars and Stripes addition Too much fun to drive. Smiles per gallon
What’s not to love 👍
I been a Chevy man all my life walk in dodge dealer 12/23/19 just to look & ended up test driving a 2013R/T black top package with only 13500 miles on it & now I owen it & LOVE IT. It's the only reason I look forward to going to work. But I live in the midwest snow & ice all over now😭 cant wait for the summer months
I purchased my 2019 skat off the show room floor in March & has been absolutely in love with her every since!lol An absolute PLEASURABLE THRILL to drive! I gotta say though now I want the charger He’ll Cat to compliment my 1st love.lol Thanks for the info.
Absolutely Ethan 👍
Thanks for great videos....we were able to pick up a 2019 scat with the shaker....sold the 5.7 challenger which was a 2018 with a stick.. the 6.4 is automatic as writing this we had the car 24 hours we are in the north and weather is not to good in February.. .thanks again your videos are the best....
Thank you Steve 👍
Straight subbed with that remote start clip....
This is a very good comparison of both vehicles good job👍🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Just upgraded from a SXT to the 2019 CHARGER SCAT PACK STARS & STRIPES EDITION I must say its the best decision I have ever made. I love driving this car I feel its the perfect balance for a car of this type.
Glad your loving that beast 👍
I saw Texas plates and then the neighborhood I was like, “I know where that is!” Then I remembered that most areas in and around the DFW metroplex all look like that. Badass rides.
Honestly, I have to agree with an your points.
It's the reason I went with a T/A 392 over the Hellcat.
Both are beautiful and fun.
But I don't track the car so the street is more important to me.
And I love it
Thanks to you Racer X I got my grandmother to watch your videos now she wants to trade in her Cadillac for a Scat Pack
I love this comment
I have a 6 speed scat pack widebody. It's a boat, but it's a super fun boat to rip through the gears in. Not the quickest car I've ever had.....but arguably one of the most fun cars. Great video! I watched a bunch of your content before picking mine up. You weren't the deciding factor, but you placated me until I could take delivery. Your content is very good.
forrysc .. thank you brother I appreciate the kind words and the support on the channel 👍
Yes sir
first video of yours im watching, you just earned a new sub. i enjoyed this
Thanks for this comparison. I live in Ft Worth & just want to find a way to test drive both before I decide, it’s not easy! I love my 392 Challenger but I keep watching your gear head videos & want a move up before Dodge goes European on us!
I think you will love both.. You will just have to decide which driving experience you like better
Yall leave racer x alone he's cool asf and that's coming from a scatpack owner it's mopar against the world.
Thank you Jaiden 🤜🔥🔥
Great info dude! Thanks for sharing, and I agree. So fun to drive!!!!
1320Jay absolutely my friend
Great points man. Love your videos. I own a 2019 Charger Scatpack and I love it. Don’t quite a bit of mods to it and plan on doing cooks LT headers and cam in the near future
CaRnAgE_4_Justin .. thanks man. Sounds like your charger is going to be a beast .. love it
6:37 vs 3:35 tells me everything I need to know... I'll take the hellcat
He needs to pin this comment lol. 392, punched it, able to continue his conversation half way through. With the hellcat, punched it, hold on for dear life, concludes with a laugh/smiles. I'll take the hellcat too lol
🤣🤣😂 man I’m thinking wth is he really talking about? Dodge must have paid him to make this video bc scat packs piling up
Word! he damn near went cross eyed and lost all his bearings for a split second
Lmao🤣🤣😂
yeah but his is modded tf out
I just got a challenger wide body scat pack!!.. I love the body makes it look like the 😈.. I love it and I like how you talked about it..
“ fantastic little motor.. “ 🤣
Great video tho brotha. I’m a R/T owner, love my car. I am going to be getting a scatpack soon tho. I have a friend with a 2019 Daytona 392 charger and that thing is a blast to drive.
The 392 is an awesome motor.. tons of fun to drive 👍
Hey Racer, thanks for all your videos. You did much of the research and sharing of information that helped my decision to buy a Scat Pack exactly one week ago. I love this beast.
I have a question about the 305s you tested on Mrs. X’s Scat Pack... did you use the factory 9 inch rims? Mine currently has 275s all around but I want to put 305s on the rear. Not sure which rim size I have since this was a previously owned car that originally came with the 245s according to the build sheet. I welcome anyone’s advice on this.
I own a 2017 Mustang GT with a custom Whipple at 700 whp and my wife owns a 2019 Scat Pack Charger with the 275 wide tires from the factory and I’ll agree with you that on the street the mustang rarely sees the pedal to the metal as it feels overwhelming whereas the Scat Pack is just right to focus on the fun rather than keeping the rear tires where they belong. They both have their place and time for sure. Great video.
Agreed Will..👍.. be safe in that supercharged stang
Agree a boosted coyote is nasty at times. Scat can use all the power with out being in the ditch like a boosted mustang
I really love my 2021 Challenger R/T Scat Pack Widebody A8. A lot of smiles per mile.
You gained a new subscriber great content
Great video. Scat pack all the way. With manual and narrow body plus shaker hood.
Just love my 2015 Scat Pack 6 speed that 392 just sings
Thanks RacerX! My 2019 Challenger Scatpack sure is a lot of fun to drive; I really enjoy driving it. But I do not like riding in it.!
Yes the scats are a lot of fun to drive 👍
I own a 2016 Scat slightly modified 6 speed and it is a absolute blast to drive puts a smile on my face every time i fire it up!
I still love a well sorted manual car 🤜🔥🔥
I'm not sure if more fun is the right way to describe it but the 392 is without a doubt the better daily driver. I've put 49,800 miles on mine since buying it brand new in February 2018 and she's been a bliss both in terms of giggles delivered and economical standpoint. The hellcat is better suited for weekends or the occasional road trip because it gets expensive going through a full tank every 150 miles (let's be honest, nobody gets behind a Hemi and drives for the mileages", a set of tires starts wearing out every 15,000 miles, those expensive six piston Brembos start needing new rotors and pads. We are looking at picking up a Redeye for my dad but I will hold onto my 392 for as long as I can, she's just perfect.
Yup! I agree. Supercharged muscle cars in general are awesome. But if you aren’t tracking or drag racing them they seem like overkill for the street. As a mustang guy I think the 5.0 with a 10 speed is the percent power plant for what I want. I’d only spring for a GT500 if I was making so much money that it was an easy easy buy (and even then would keep my humble GT PP1).
Racerx and B Mason are my favorite dodge brothers 💪🏾
Thank you Antwon 👍
Your garage is goals
I have a modded 5.7 RT charger along with my hellcat charger, and I gotta admit that it's almost a relief driving the RT every now and then. It's just a little more relaxing knowing you can punch it without taking out the neighbor's hedgerow. BUT, it's a short lived feeling - Doesn't take long for me to crave the insane and addictive power of the cat.
I have a modded RT charger to. What mods do you got?
I got a tune, cai, kooks long tubes with full exhaust and a stage two comp cam. I have 426 to the wheel. I can run with the 392's now...lol.
Glorious exhaust sound.
Nice job with this video!
LOVE my SRT 392! Fully loaded like a Hellcat but with a motor more friendly to daily driving. But even with 275 Nitto 420V's, I can still get sideways no problem. Especially in the rain! I have to drive it in eco mode when it rains so it starts in second gear.
That being said I'm thinking about going FBO, new cam, and a tune.
Nice.. sounds like a solid plan 👍
Lol I drive in eco mode too in the rain. Thought I was the only one
I absolutely love my 2018 392 RT SCATPACK!!!
Does the 305 tires fit without putting spacers on? Because I have a 392 charger and it comes with 275 and still not hooking up so I’m planning on getting a 305 but I’m not sure if it’ll scrape the splash covers or not
Thanks for this video originally helped make mind up on my purchase
I got a 2021 challenger in April and I love it and it’s a wide body
Got the 300c coming and pretty excited to have that as a daily. Coming from a glc 43 merc so I hope it’s going to be a good bit more exciting.
Very informative for us guys have the 5.7 I want to upgrade to a 6.4 little hemi
You forgot to mention.....there's an eco 500HP mode on the hellcat with a cute little green leaf that is displayed that I use most of the time that calms it down and therefore needs less driver power management. It pretty much makes it a scat. Bottom line...the hellcat demands a lot of skill to make the power useable...and a really good driver has no issue maximizing the 707 on the street with better than stock tires of course. I hear what you are saying though...its nice to have a car that you can mash that wont kill you....takes the thinking and stress out of it. It's just something that comes with having unaided high hp and rwd. I had an an E60 M5 and rarely felt out of control....its quite the opposite in the HC....and that makes me smile. Different strokes for different folks. Pun intended.
Thanks for the heads up! 🙂 Hellcat for me too! ❤
The ECO limits it to 300 horsepower 500 is without the red key or activated manually if you’re driving with the red key
Who uses the black key on a hellcat? All I know is on my 2016 Hellcat red key when I choose 500HP a green leaf appears and next to it it says ECO...which is kind of comical. I also have a red key valet mode which I've never used but I think its 300HP Thats hillarious too. Either way my point was about the 500HP option.
I just recently purchased a 2022 Scat Pack wide body with the SRT 6.4l 392, I’ve yet to discover what this car can do for me😂, I’m still trying to get familiar with its power, any tips and pointers you can provide for me would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
Man I'm so happy I'm getting the shake down. My frist American Muscle car since my 89 mustang back in 2001. Razer I think you would love the Honda S200 very snappy as well but yeah not as fast of course. Challenger had no handling compared to my s2k. 👍
I have a 2015 Challenger Scat Pack with the Shaker and 6 speed. I have 45k miles on it and have just had a blast with the car since I bought it new. It really is an amazing value and perfectly set up for the street. While I haven't driven a Hellcat or even ridden in one, I've heard other people say the same thing. Out in the real world, the Hellcat makes so much power that you can only do small pulls here and there before you're going crazy over the speed limit and smoking tires. The Scat Pack's power is right in the sweet spot. It makes more than enough to smoke the tires but you can still use it and do some pulls without going totally insane. Especially if you plan on daily driving the car, I think it's the best option.
Racer X, what are the widest tires you'd recommend on the challenger scat pack stock rims?
Do you know how to find out how many wide body shaker scat pacs were made in 2021 thank for any help I have one but haven’t seen another one in my neck of the woods
Really enjoyed your video
2019 charger Daytona ... best rear tire size? 275 came stock for all 4 tires.
Lol the satisfaction on your face at the Hellcat startup.
Lol.. my neighbors love me 👍
Gonna upgrade to a scatpack when I’m done with my Honda Accord coupe really want one
Usable Power is the EXACT reason my I ride a 600 super sport bike instead of a liter bike. But it DEFINATELY doesn't hurt to have the extra power. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE both the Scatpack & Hellcat
Hi Racerx , i currently have a Classic RT 5.7 Challenger and looking to upgrade to a Scatpact Shaker 392, are there any major pros over the 2015 to 2019 ? Do any of them have the active exhaust? Thanks
I bought a scat pack for now and love every minute of it. Gets a lot of attention being Plum Crazy. In the next few years I’ll get a widebody Redeye in Plum Crazy with Sepia interior. So excited
I hope you get that plum crazy cat 🐈
Thanks man. In the meantime I’ll enjoy my scat pack and pretend that it’s supercharged
What’s your recommendation for tires and size for the scat pack? I don’t want to slide around in the rain
Great vid, keep up the good work! I agree, I currently have a Challenger HC but previously had a Charger SP, and part of me really misses my SP.
p.s. The 6.4 has a longer stroke, not a larger bore.
Fastidious .. gotcha brother thank you.. hope your loving that hellcat 👍
Love the videos bro .
Thank you Henry
One day when im like 50 and have alot of time to go to the track a cat would make sense, but sometimes we forget that 485 hp is alot of power and its a very fun car🤣
Had to get my Scatpack as a Challenger, because I wanted a manual, but when I finally get a Hellcat, it got to be a Charger. Plus when I get my Hellcat, I'm keeping my Challenger Scatpack too. Love your car bro
X, come on. LOL! I just got my 1100+ hp Hellcat out of the shop. Thus Scatpacks can not be more fun than our Hellcats. But all in all, great video and appreciate your knowledge sir!
Haha I bet your glad to have that beast back 👍
@@RacerX9 You guys know about HWS (Hellcat Withdraw Syndrome). But you have inspired me; I need to go drive the Scatpack for a day or two and really appreciate that trim level.
Excellent synopsis.
What super do you suggest for my 2018 Daytona to gain 200 horse ?
Got a v6 chrysler 300 which motor would be a perfect swap ? 6.2 or 6.4 ?
Brother I believe ya man but which one should I finance a used SRT or Scat pack plus I kinda like the looks of the Challenger better but not sure the leg and head room so a multiple question for ya bro I'm 6 foot 7 265 Charger or Challenger and SRT or Scat pack?????
Great show love it
Hey man, what kind of exhaust system do you have and how did you make the startup sound so good?
Hey Racer X!
I just got a 2020 Challenger SXT, It came with 2 black keys. can I get a red key with it or is the red key only issued for the hellcats?
Can I buy a red keyfob for it?
Will it unlock any more power for my SXT if I do get one?
I'm new to all of this. Haha
Nice points brother mang! While the 392 cars may not be the "end all/be all" in terms of all out horsepower like the Hellcats/Redeyes/Demons...but there is something to be said for the usability/accessability of the power of the 392. It makes enough power and immediate torque to be fun, entertaining and surprisingly quick, all while not trying to kill you. Plus the 392 sounds pretty damn good in its own right.👍👊
Quick Brick .. fully agreed brother .. you have a sick machine 👍
Yes sir! I have a 18' 392 SRT challenger. Changed to Barton shifter and a bunch of other mods.
@@lmjames33 why do you like barton shifters, and what other mods
@@gummybear41283 They are a very well made product made in USA 🇺🇸

Go Go Opie Griffin .. thank you my friend
Manual Hellcat is my dream and I’m getting one soon. I’ll be deleting the mid mufflers and changing the cold air intake probably a day after owning it can’t wait 🤩
I hope you get it my friend
❤ Me Two
Great video 👍🏽 I know exactly what you mean. I own a Hellcat also, but my daily driver is a Ford Focus ST, its about 300whp. Hellcats are crazy power especially in town. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
That’s my approach as well Alan .. I daily a maxima
@@RacerX9 So you wouldn't daily the scat? Just curious I just bought a 2016 scat and making it my daily taking a leap of faith into the unknown.
