It's all about how the car makes you feel . I had the first edition 2008 Challenger SRT8 and I loved it. I am a big guy and the seats are very comfortable. I was too young in the late sixties to own one of the first Challengers but loved the design. It's ok to be a kid no matter how old you are 😉 ! The Hellcat is too much engine . He is right . Relax and enjoy this car . It's a stress reducer .Great tunes makes the experience fantastic!
Thank You. I leased the 2018 R/T Plus Shaker, which has 5.6L engine, 375HP, 6 speed manual. I was shocked on my test drive that as wide as I am I was comfortable driving it. Getting in and out is still not exactly effortless, but well worth it. I love watching most any video about this car because it's the next best thing to driving it. I just hate the videos that complain it's not fast enough. If you still need to race someone on the streets than you have other issues. I still am amazed at the beautiful sound of the stock exhaust system. Saved money there. In 2 more years I can move up to the wide body. Amazingly, the entree level GT starts at 23K. Talk about a chick magnet (do they still say that) for a first car? Wow. With an all-wheel drive option. That cruse you talk keeping it in 3rd gear longer is music to my ears. Thank You.
@@DuckMcDuckinson That was in the Camaro, not the Mustang. I'm just finding out that the skip shift were in Challengers as well, thought it was a GM only thing since that's been around since the 90s if I remember correctly
Great review ! Scat Packs are the perfect street muscle car IMO, and I get 21 mpg in ECO Mode, but not in any other...lol I prefer narrow body, I have the 2021 Scat Challenger with the TF Auto tranny. After years in an RT Shaker, it was time to upgrade,. now I am very happy with the 392 performance street muscle. I don't feel the need to Mod like I did in the 5.7, I can run in the 11s with my Drag Pak, which is fast enough for me. Reviewers bash the interior forgetting that this is a muscle car, not a luxury cruiser..
You are right on point about Dodge and the personality of their cars. They are unabashedly North American culture-mobiles (to shout out to our Canadian brothers). My favorite thing about the Challenger and Charger (I have both) is that they retain a sense of humor and fun. You can drag respectably in a 1320, scare people on the track with the Widebody, and have the best looking stock engine bay with the T/A, or go over-the-top in the Hellcat and family. All of them get attention on Cruise Night. Dodge succeeds because they don't take themselves too seriously. These are the cars that I drew pictures of on the back of my math homework in 4th grade. I don't care if they are built on an old Mercedes-derived frame, or that they are owned by Fiat. They get it. I like large expanses of sheet metal that go fast. These are perfect for driving those big American highways. That's why I'm a fan.
I enjoyed this review, nice job. I have the exact car in destroyer grey and agree with much of everything you talk about. I think the pedals are a little strangely spaced, and wish the manual had rev matching downshift like the competition.
I didn't understand the complaint about the seat being too big. They almost have to put a seat in it so it could fit anyone big or small. I sat in one of these cars once and I'm only 5'9" and 160 lbs. The seat felt great.
I'm over 6 feet and have sat in a few Challengers and one Charger. In my opinion, sitting in the Challenger was like the seat in one of those spanky home entrainment theaters you see on the Price is Right.
I just purchased this same car but I got the pearl coat burgundy color. I have been a camero girl for most my life. But after having this one I'm not sure I could go back to the camero I love it so much.
got a b5 blue widebody scatpack on order, should be in my hands within 2 weeks. looking forward to it. lucky for me i drive a ram 1500 as my daily, so i know the feel of a big vehicle
Do you have your scatpack WB now ? Does the front wheels make "click" noises when you drive backwards and turn sharp right or left ? (Sry for bad english xD)
Get into the back seat via the passenger side. The passenger seat will both fold and slide forward using that seatback handle. At least on my R/T it does. Not positive on the fancy models. lol
It has the skip shift from first to second. If you are in first and at less then a quarter throttle between 19-21 mph the car will make you go in fourth.
@@DriveBreakFixRepeat How was it in the corners? Pretty compliant? Welsey Motorsport is developing a suspension kit for it. Do you feel it would need it?
@@BuRn928 the Scat Pack handles really nicely. It's soft and soaks up the broken canyon pavement well, with a relatively neutral balance. I wouldn't change the suspension unless you're after a more hardcore, track-focused build, in which case you shouldn't use something as heavy as the Challenger in the first place.
@@DriveBreakFixRepeat thankfully thats not the plan lol. I plan on getting a little bit bigger tires, CAI, exhaust, and maybe a cam. Just think 550hp would be the ultimate goal in my opinion. If i ever wanted to really change the experience completely, I would simply turbo the car.
@@BuRn928 I listened in other reviews, and yes, will work better with other suspension. And if you have on your brain that (which you mentioned can be the right one)
I used to buy cars because they look cool but then when they perform like crap you wish you would have gotten the faster model. You have to keep in mind that one day that car is not going to look at school as it first did.
look forward to a new generation of reviewers who watched a few doug demuro videos and thought the audience wanted to see nothing but the person during a test drive.
It's a big comfy American muscle car. Note, the Scats and Cats are straight line drag strip cars, they are not a Ford Mustang so don't take corners and turns hard. I know from experience, I owned a 2021 Scatty Charger before I got my ten speed 5.0 Ford Mustang. The Dodge line up is awesome and so much fun.
Got to many things wrong about the specs on this car. Ill let you figure it out. I'm a GM fan, but this car is so capable - I may have to buy one (after driving one for quit some time).
Just a correction, it does have the skip shift lockout because that is the exact behavior you get when one is present. It will force you from 1st to 4th to save gas. Rather annoying which is why if I get one of these Challengers I am leaning 8 speed auto which is a really good one. I test drove both the 5.7 and also the 6.4 with the manual and both cars had the same behavior when plodding around town so it was not unique to your car.
And untill 25 miles per galon, well that is a big point to buy one. I know the inside of the world of cars and for me buy a car with high costs on fuel and insurances are usually a good option to avoid that car. Was an idea which a learned during years. It's solid and functional. That's because there are many piranhas in the world of races

A thank u I knew I wasn’t the only one the that supercharger is really annoying 😠& plus hellcats are unreliable & that’s a pure fact ,The scatpack is reliable & it sounds more aggressive 😃
The widebody gets 305 tires on 11 inch rims. The scat pack has 245 tire on 9 inch rims and the scat pack with dynamic package has 275 tire on 9.5 inch rims. Honestly he could have just read the tire on the car for the video instead of just printing out a cheat sheet and reading from it the whole time
Mmmmmmm manual...........love the clutch, short throw, not the through the firewall feel of the mustang...which means I have to sit sidesaddle (horse joke) because i'm short. ( 5'7)

Does it? Couldn't find any sort of official literature from Dodge about this. Felt exactly like the skip shift in GM products, but unlike those cars, the Challenger didn't have any sort of notice or prompt indicating that's what was happening. Was really my only complaint with the 6-speed.
@@DriveBreakFixRepeat I thought something was wrong with my car at first. When I called the service dept. where I bought the car from they told me what was happening.

I just can’t get past the it’s big comments over and over ... what are you comparing it to a 1979 Honda Civic ?? Put next to any modern car it is not a boat it’s built very well and out performs most anything out there in its class.
@@JDB5824RG It's more around 600lbs heavier than a Mustang Gt, which is pretty damn heavy. Challengers are heavy, it's really no secret. Side by side it's noticeably bigger than both the Mustang and Camaro as well.

Also, should I be worried abuot snow/fluid getting into the intake? I plan on getting the shaker package, not sure if I am patient enough to wait until this fall/winter is over to buy the car lol
Dude there's nothing wrong with the trans! it's a tremec - what your experiencing is the Skip Shift ! when I first had my RT many moons ago I got a SS Eliminator... but into my 3rd Challenger (manual) and I'm used to them now, it triggers in when the speed is, I forget all the details but it's supposed to be used to save gas... as I said you get a an bypass for it, their not expensive around $18-20- I've had 3 manuals and haven't had 1 single issues with the trans! again that issue your reporting isn't an issue .. built in pain in the arse to save gas! after charging us gas guzzler!
It roars from factory can be heard blocks away in sport and track custom or auto does not open up exhaust valves fully unless under full throttle and you can feel the difference with the clutch too drop the mid mufflers and it will scream pop gurgle after about 3 months it will be almost as deep as factory break in period mine backfired so loud the other day I had to get out and make sure nothing was not broken😂
I am 6'1 and 200 pounds. I have a 2016 Challenger Hellcat with the sunroof and I have plenty of head room . Just lower the seat. I do not know about the seat belts in the scat pack but the Hellcat is speed sensitive.
My dude, it's literally on the side of the tire at 1:38. Why even review cars if you can't figure out the tire size just from looking at the information on the tire itself?
Why? Because it still got your fucking stupid ass here. You still contributed to the view AND the comment count. That’s why. It’s that simple. You’re welcome.

Just put it in "SPORT" mode and it disables the skip-shift, or spend $25 to get an eliminator. It's NOT a big deal.
The 1st to 4th gear is a fuel economy setting by Dodge. You can buy an over ide switch to remove it.

How about slowing down, by down shifting bro ? Using the clutch and minimally the breaks ?
Like Senna, left foot on the clutch and right foot in the brake and on the gas (a little bit) at the same time. Buy books, etc. and learn

Absolutely...just put some winter tires on...I do...love it...
@@heinzkiefer9748 What's your recommendation for winter carwashes? I live in minnesota and they salt the roads, parking lots especially, very aggressively. Also, should I be worried abuot snow/fluid getting into the intake? I plan on getting the shaker package, not sure if I am patient enough to wait until this fall/winter is over to buy the car lol
On snow i don't recomended use that car. Futermore, with a lot of rain can be like a enter in a casino 🎰, win or lose, but if you enter every day...
Charming
"you got your MPG..." - do you mean GPM (gallons per mile)?
Lich King lol i would buy this car only if they improved the gas milage, make it a bit lighter without sacrificing the true muscle car look

Dude there's nothing wrong with the trans! it's a tremec - what your experiencing is the Skip Shift ! when I first had my RT many moons ago I got a SS Eliminator... but into my 3rd Challenger (manual) and I'm used to them now, it triggers in when the speed is, I forget all the details but it's supposed to be used to save gas... as I said you get a an bypass for it, their not expensive around $18-20- I've had 3 manuals and haven't had 1 single issues with the trans! again that issue your reporting isn't an issue .. built in pain in the arse to save gas! after charging us gas guzzler!
For that amount of cash, why not add a screaming exhaust option as standard equipment. 🤔 Active perhaps?
It roars from factory can be heard blocks away in sport and track custom or auto does not open up exhaust valves fully unless under full throttle and you can feel the difference with the clutch too drop the mid mufflers and it will scream pop gurgle after about 3 months it will be almost as deep as factory break in period mine backfired so loud the other day I had to get out and make sure nothing was not broken😂
@@johnwilliams2378 lol.
Im 6’4 240 and have plenty of headroom. In fact i feel like I have plenty of room all around... unfortunately no one can sit behind me
take the seats out to drop the extra weight lol
@@Lem0nsquid I'm thinking in buy with that dollar extra, and save weight.
Watch it like i can afford it.
You need IHOP Jake !!!
I want
Does it drift?
It's actually super easy to slide this car. Suspension setup is softer than Camaro SS/Mustang GT, so less twitchy, more forgiving.
I am 6'1 and 200 pounds. I have a 2016 Challenger Hellcat with the sunroof and I have plenty of head room . Just lower the seat. I do not know about the seat belts in the scat pack but the Hellcat is speed sensitive.
Seat was at the lowest position.
ahh i put speakers in my 'Cuda Via trunk
I'm going to take a look at one. And presently driving a Chy 300, this car isn't that big. And the 300 fits in my Mom's garage with room to spare.
My dude, it's literally on the side of the tire at 1:38. Why even review cars if you can't figure out the tire size just from looking at the information on the tire itself?
Why? Because it still got your fucking stupid ass here. You still contributed to the view AND the comment count. That’s why. It’s that simple. You’re welcome.
