"By no means is this video saying dont buy a charger, dont buy a scat pack" - title of the video is "5 reason why you should not buy a charger/scat pack"
Kevin Grazier Yea its wild dude. It's people out here that would work 2 and 3 jobs just to have the car..and this dude trippen over this stuff that don't matter. Petty ass dude. Life will deal with him and the way he sees shit though. He doesn't appreciate this car. But don't worry dudes like him will have a very rude awakening one day. lol. Wow today's kids. so clueless.
Moe Johnson this guy didnt take the time to look at the car before he bought it from his petty ass rant about the car, im currently a college student and in 2-3 years hoping to save up Money to get a used 2017/18 model scatpack or dayton in this color and man this guy sorta pisses me off lol
What was/is the reason you had to change ur tires from 315s to 295s? Was it bags ? I have 10.5 wheels on back with 315s & I'm now looking at bags..so will I have to drop down tire size ? Ima chick so still learning...sorry...
4 piston brake is still good just as long your rotors don't over heat and vibrate on the high way which looking at your rotors there sloted for less over heating while slamming your brakes at high speeds. If you need a little more stopping power change the brake lines to steel braided hoses for a better quick snap response
Depends on your budget, i bought the Hellcat Charger but the Scat pack is a bargain at its price point. Personally I think the SRT is worth the price differential if you can swing it considering every part that's upgraded. All the Chargers are nice cars, even the V6.
These may be small problems but like you can tell he loves the car. Small things can be huge things if you love it. That gap does look annoying though 😂
I have a issue with the 4 piston brakes. Too much weight for repeated high speed braking. My front rotors feel warped during high speed braking. I wish my 2015 Scat had the Dynamics pkg that's available on the 2017's. I also agree on the undersized tires. I just put 275's on the rear stock rims.
Just bought a 19 scat pack. got the wheel and brake upgrade and painted roof. Love this car. Came from a 18 hemi. They are just giving great deals right now so I said why not. So I agree on the appearance. The 18 hemi looked normal but now for 19 they all look the same. I was a ford guy. But now I love dodge! The parts of the car fit way better then a ford. Had a 17 shelby gt350 and many of body panels didn’t line up. Bumpers and quarter panels mostly. Also the 19 scat pack does have the seat and steering wheel retract.
My friends scat pack has ease of exit (the seats and steering wheel move on exit). Yo scat just doesn’t have the package for It. His also has assisted cruise control and all the extra goodies and it’s a 2016.
You do have some good points about the tires and wheels. But just get over the brakes, Just get you some spinners and nobody can see them until you stop. LOL
I bought my '17 SRT...which is worth every cent more than the ScatPack... and it came with a mis-aligned hood and a paint flaw on the rear deck below the tail light. I contacted SRT right away...the problems were addressed and my car is literally perfect. Why are you living with that hood and scoop issue? Have the dealer straighten out the hood and replace the scoop. If they give you any static at all...contact SRT and open a case...they will OK the dealer to perform the needed adjustments and or replacements. If they can't adjust the hood, they will replace it...guaranteed. Also...if you don't clear bra that fascia you're a fool. Nice car...get those defects fixed...
BigKing Bud lol wrapping a car has nothing to do with panels that don’t line up. I’ve had this issue since I bought this car. Has nothing to do with vinyl or any customizations that I have made to it. You sound like you work at the dealership trying to void a warranty
Rear diffuser is coming off and bumper is a bit out of alignment on my 2016 Charger SXT. With 43,000 miles on it the dealer warranty doesn’t cover it. The cars they make these days are cheap plastic and everyone is going to have small problems. It’s still a great car to buy!
I know now you can get the $2,200 package with the 20x9.5 wheels and 6 pistons in the back. May order one and that's something that I'm defiantly doing if I do. So, you squeezed 315s in the back no problem no mods? How much better is traction from a stop? Do you lay into it or punch it now? Thanks man nice car
Audi has been doing it for years with the s series v8 4 door and v10 way louder and faster with same expensive problems minus every year they don’t look the same lol but I feel ur pain. But what I like about the charger is that u can get things for it that won’t break the bank
I think people forget that this is his opinion he is showing everyone the things he dislikes about his car in order to educate future buyers on things that may annoy them
The blue lighting and carbon fiber trim is why I fell in love with my 2014 300 SRT and chose it over even a newer charger SRT/Scat Pack. But the charger is beautiful especially in B5 blue😍 Nice car man! 👍🏻
I just got my go mango scatpack a month ago and the only thing I will say I dont like about is how low it sits in the front. Had to stop parking in my driveway and on the street because it was scraping everytime I backed out.
I have a 2016 scat and the seat comes out and wheels comes up you can configure it in the settings good video though I think they might of made two different 2016 models for the scat
I hear a lot about Mia aligned panels, lights and other things that’s sad shouldn’t have to take it back even if u aren’t paying for it , Chrysler product am I right
Good video. I have a 2018 Challenger ScatPack 392... Plan to trade it in for a wide body 392 in a couple of years. Rear tires definitely have to be BIGGER on these 485 HP cars from the factory. Mine came with - of course - 245s... I plan to switch them out with 275s, so that I can keep the same size rims.
The hood to bumper fitment is definitely something u have to look for when looking at a new charger on the dealers lot.i was recently at one dealership that 3 out of 5 scatpack chargers had the shitty hood to bumper fitment,the other 2 lined up perfectly. That's a big issue with me why I'm afraid to order a car,I want the best fitment I can get(and they are out there) but those others like urs will just haunt me the way its haunting you...
The only thing that really really pisses me off with dodge is how they're diluting their models. The rt has a body kit, the scat Pack has a kit that gives you the Daytona goodies, and the Daytona is really the same thing. It just doesn't make any sense. Just like how they offer the srt body kit on the v6 and rt Durangos.
Midwest Mopars I just get what I can afford. V6 SE then hook it up is fine. If one afford RT, Scat crap or SRT fine. Get it. Dodge making money hand over foot. LOL! I'm out!
the worse thing i hate about dodge is how they dump these cars in rental fleets. fully loaded chargers and durangos get dumped in fleets. fucking embarrassing.
Its about driving and enjoying these cars. Its not about winning. You guys think too hard and take these cars too seriously. These cars exist all for the purpose of HAVING FUN.
Got a plain v6 2012 charger and thinking on upgrading soon! Lol scat pack or hellcat... hmmm🤔. Anyways showing some HTown love from gunspoint! Great vid and keep up the great work!
All good points *however* for me the biggest scary thing is the inner door panels warping. If it happens in warranty great, but when it happens out of warranty it can cost almost a Grand per door. And this is on cars just a couple years old. Really poor quality control.
So perhaps your title should have been "Heres what I have learned after owning a Scat pack". Any another thing, you do know that manufacturers cut costs to make the cars affordable. If the tire size isn't to your liking buy an aftermarket setup or buy what there putting on the Hellcat.
My whole rear door on my passenger's side was mis- aligned on my 2017 R/T. It wasn't bad enough for my wife to notice, but I noticed. I took it back and had it repaired under warranty.
your video just reminds me that there's nothing perfect in life, those are just manufacturer flaws and unfortunately you gotta live with' em I'm sure things like that happens to all of us but we just gotta lear how to live with it.
Hold up which side are you on in the beginning of the video you said don’t buy it then like 10 seconds later you say by any means am I not saying you shouldn’t buy this I’m confused on your point
Dope vid, but you have to remember the scat pack was solely a power upgrade! I do agree 100% with the fitment issues, unreasonable. Does this cause the hood to rattle at high speeds at all?
Good video and all good points. I have a 16' Durango Citadel and 14' Rt and the with both of those vehicles, there are panels that noticeably don't line up correctly. Still love them both though!
My 15 charger RT had easy entry and exit option meaning steering wheel and seat moved when you turned it off/on I think it was part of package My RT was fully loaded I think cause the sticker price was $41k and it didn’t have scat pack. I felt like an idiot because half the options I had I didn’t need so I should of just waited a few months and got a scat pack for same money or even cheaper
HTX Scat you know you can turn on a setting in the car called easy exit, I think that’s what it’s called. It automatically moves your seat back when it’s turned off. Don’t need an srt for that.
I bought the 2018 Daytona comes with six piston Bremo brakes as far as the hood not lining up take it somewhere and fix that small problem I wouldn’t cry about that
let me know when you sell it , it needs a real owner

He should just BUILD a car that way he cant complain
Can’t imagine having a 17 scat pack charger and complaining about it😡
honestly
im here looking for a first car so id never complain
Because we are humans we can always complain about our beautiful lives
What was/is the reason you had to change ur tires from 315s to 295s? Was it bags ? I have 10.5 wheels on back with 315s & I'm now looking at bags..so will I have to drop down tire size ? Ima chick so still learning...sorry...

whats the wheel/tire setup on your car? it looks sick
I just bought a scat pack 2019 and i love it....
gto6.0 do you got the alpine speakers or Harmon Kardon? If you have alpine, is it good enough? Or should I just get harman kardon?
These may be small problems but like you can tell he loves the car. Small things can be huge things if you love it. That gap does look annoying though 😂
MY 2015 CHALLENGER SCATPACK CAME WITH 9.5 FORGED WHEELS I PUT 295s ON WITH NO BULGE AND LOOKS GREAT!
"DON'T BUY THIS CAR!" video starts: "this car is great buy it"
I have a issue with the 4 piston brakes. Too much weight for repeated high speed braking. My front rotors feel warped during high speed braking. I wish my 2015 Scat had the Dynamics pkg that's available on the 2017's. I also agree on the undersized tires. I just put 275's on the rear stock rims.

How does a analog telescoping steering wheel annoy id chose manual over a electric one anyday with anycar bc its faster to adjust the wheel
Where did you get the black door handles and the interior carbon fiber looking piece?
Thanks
My friends scat pack has ease of exit (the seats and steering wheel move on exit). Yo scat just doesn’t have the package for It. His also has assisted cruise control and all the extra goodies and it’s a 2016.
buys model with no options.......complains it has no options
Who gives a rats arse about how the brakes look? I guess next you'll be complaining about how the trunk mat looks. LOL
You do have some good points about the tires and wheels. But just get over the brakes, Just get you some spinners and nobody can see them until you stop. LOL
When you spend significant money on a vehicle, you can have the reason to explore and complain, but he kind of went overboard
Good stuff man. In the settings, I want to say under engine off, look for Easy Exit. When you cut car off the seats go back, in mines it does
The gap in the hood is so that your car can breath more for more power
I have the same problem with the hood alignment. I have a 2018 gt awd
Where did you get your caliper bolts? The factory bolts up front get rusty so quick a look terrible. I'm looking for some replacements.
Brett Sandy these are the factory ones. I had them painted the color of the car
I bought my '17 SRT...which is worth every cent more than the ScatPack... and it came with a mis-aligned hood and a paint flaw on the rear deck below the tail light. I contacted SRT right away...the problems were addressed and my car is literally perfect. Why are you living with that hood and scoop issue?

FalcondRippr I know. I need to jump on it and get it taken care of!
BigKing Bud lol wrapping a car has nothing to do with panels that don’t line up. I’ve had this issue since I bought this car. Has nothing to do with vinyl or any customizations that I have made to it. You sound like you work at the dealership trying to void a warranty
BigKing Bud bruh that's what's up. We need more people like you out here for real!!!
Rear diffuser is coming off and bumper is a bit out of alignment on my 2016 Charger SXT. With 43,000 miles on it the dealer warranty doesn’t cover it. The cars they make these days are cheap plastic and everyone is going to have small problems. It’s still a great car to buy!
I have heard that the scat pack tires cause issues with wheel bearing replacement on a consistent basis is that true? Thanks for your video.
I know now you can get the $2,200 package with the 20x9.5 wheels and 6 pistons in the back. May order one and that's something that I'm defiantly doing if I do. So, you squeezed 315s in the back no problem no mods? How much better is traction from a stop? Do you lay into it or punch it now? Thanks man nice car
Nicholas Francis 315 is a night and day difference! Worth the upgrade
HTX Scat awesome man thanks for response, do you recall what you paid per tire?
Is that b5 blue? What blue is that it’s very nice !
I’ve been saving up for a charger I’m 19 . For someone who’s trying to save money on gas which model would you suggest
My biggest beef with the charger is that it's not offered in a manual transmission option... >:-(
This is sooooo true
Amen
ammmmmmen.
Mine is manual
Robert Torrez SRT-8, Right?
Audi has been doing it for years with the s series v8 4 door and v10 way louder and faster with same expensive problems minus every year they don’t look the same lol but I feel ur pain. But what I like about the charger is that u can get things for it that won’t break the bank
BTW they did make a 300SRT with a 392 Hemi but it was only sold for a year or 3 in the USA
Thumbs up for video. I'm planning to get one..glad to see your quality methods align with mine..looking forward to your upgrades..
good shit im getting a scatpack real soon, im glad this video is making me want to get it even sooner
You said 315... is it 315/45/20.... what is the correct size you running plz! I also believe that you said on the 9.5 width correct
I think people forget that this is his opinion he is showing everyone the things he dislikes about his car in order to educate future buyers on things that may annoy them
The blue lighting and carbon fiber trim is why I fell in love with my 2014 300 SRT and chose it over even a newer charger SRT/Scat Pack. But the charger is beautiful especially in B5 blue😍 Nice car man! 👍🏻
Was the gap not there when u bought it?
Challenger, Camaro or Mustang? Which one is the more reliable vehicle inyour opinion? Discuss.
I actually enjoyed this vid. I appreciate when an owner is obsessive about the attention to detail, I’d be the same way about a new car I bought.
My 2015 scat pack has the convenience entry/exit. Guess they removed it or?
No it's part of another optional pkg.
Did you check the gap on the hood of that red charger?
Adjust the hood stops! They screw up and down to change alignment of the hood. It will probably eliminate the gap as well.
I just got my go mango scatpack a month ago and the only thing I will say I dont like about is how low it sits in the front. Had to stop parking in my driveway and on the street because it was scraping everytime I backed out.
Last 300 srt8 was in 2k14 in the u.s im looking to add one to the fleet if i was yu id add one too
The plastic around my hood scoop is warped. The car was built 5/16/17. It should also have come with a Flat Bottom steering wheel.
In Australia we pay 38000usd for a commodore ss with only 415hp with 4 piston brakes , That scatpack is really good value in usa
Hey man great video ! What are those wheels called ? and what sz are they ? Cars is beautiful
Should I get a challenger scat pack or charger scat pack???
By the time you add the 6 piston brakes and opinion your scat pack out....why not just get the srt? Packs are just a fast rt
I have a 2016 scat and the seat comes out and wheels comes up you can configure it in the settings good video though I think they might of made two different 2016 models for the scat
I hear a lot about Mia aligned panels, lights and other things that’s sad shouldn’t have to take it back even if u aren’t paying for it , Chrysler product am I right

Mine came with - of course - 245s... I plan to switch them out with 275s, so that I can keep the same size rims.
im curious, are the new chargers reliable and last longer than before?
The hood to bumper fitment is definitely something u have to look for when looking at a new charger on the dealers lot.i was recently at one dealership that 3 out of 5 scatpack chargers had the shitty hood to bumper fitment,the other 2 lined up perfectly.

@HTX Scat
It's probably dumb but I want the 2018 charger RT as my first car.. is that bad?
Worth every penny. Beware of the insurance, and gas if you are young.
Chema Torres I’ve been saving up for a charger I’m 19 . For someone who’s trying to save money on gas which model would you suggest
The only thing that really really pisses me off with dodge is how they're diluting their models.

Midwest Mopars I just get what I can afford. V6 SE then hook it up is fine. If one afford RT, Scat crap or SRT fine. Get it. Dodge making money hand over foot. LOL! I'm out!
the worse thing i hate about dodge is how they dump these cars in rental fleets. fully loaded chargers and durangos get dumped in fleets. fucking embarrassing.
Its about driving and enjoying these cars. Its not about winning. You guys think too hard and take these cars too seriously. These cars exist all for the purpose of HAVING FUN.
You can fit a Nitto nt555r 305 on these 9" wheels. I've seen it done plenty of times with no issues
What wheels are these? Might look into them
Talk about first world problems...
That is literally nit picking dude
I'm with you on the tires, but be honest would you have bought the rt just for the srt look? Not likely. That hood is on wrong as many have said.
Does 2019 charger GT comes same body as a scat pack or u think any difference
Everything you said would annoy me too. The biggest being the hood and bumper not lining up. Good review
Got a plain v6 2012 charger and thinking on upgrading soon! Lol scat pack or hellcat... hmmm🤔. Anyways showing some HTown love from gunspoint! Great vid and keep up the great work!
I wonder how long these car will last before major problems start
james Johnston Charger last long compare to the ram which is a truck the charger is reliable
Love the color but you're right about the wheels. They are too small through the lineup.
All good points *however* for me the biggest scary thing is the inner door panels warping. If it happens in warranty great, but when it happens out of warranty it can cost almost a Grand per door. And this is on cars just a couple years old. Really poor quality control.
You can actually get an sxt with the super track pack appearance group that now makes the v-6 look like a scat pack
2:36 I told a girl on tinder that it look bigger in person. She never messaged me back...
Fucking hilarious 😭
😂😂😂😂
I can see your point I got the challenger scat pack going to buy the hellcat tomorrow or next day
What is a tazer ???
Is it me or did the car just not come with the technology package or whatever all those interior options he complained about
So perhaps your title should have been "Heres what I have learned after owning a Scat pack". Any another thing, you do know that manufacturers cut costs to make the cars affordable. If the tire size isn't to your liking buy an aftermarket setup or buy what there putting on the Hellcat.
Hey great video man,but how lazy are we mad about not having memory seats
My whole rear door on my passenger's side was mis- aligned on my 2017 R/T. It wasn't bad enough for my wife to notice, but I noticed. I took it back and had it repaired under warranty.
your video just reminds me that there's nothing perfect in life, those are just manufacturer flaws and unfortunately you gotta live with' em I'm sure things like that happens to all of us but we just gotta lear how to live with it.
Is it good on gas
Hold up which side are you on in the beginning of the video you said don’t buy it then like 10 seconds later you say by any means am I not saying you shouldn’t buy this I’m confused on your point
Dope vid, but you have to remember the scat pack was solely a power upgrade! I do agree 100% with the fitment issues, unreasonable. Does this cause the hood to rattle at high speeds at all?
3:00 ....for a tiny bit more air flow
didnt read all comments, but can't you adjust that hood gap a bit by turning your plastic bumper stops?
LastHumansGarage you can but then the parts that were even before are now to low although that's probably a better problem to have.
Mine doesn’t go as gas as it should. It scrapes on driveways. The interior rattles. Brakes cost a crazy amount. And it’s heavy
what wheels are those
If you look at that car so much how did you miss that big ass Hood Gap when you are seen it when you first got the car?
Good video and all good points. I have a 16' Durango Citadel and 14' Rt and the with both of those vehicles, there are panels that noticeably don't line up correctly. Still love them both though!
Title of video: “5 tHiNGs I HaTe aBoUt mY cHaRgEr”
Video: I LOVE this car
🙄
My 15 charger RT had easy entry and exit option meaning steering wheel and seat moved when you turned it off/on
I think it was part of package
My RT was fully loaded I think cause the sticker price was $41k and it didn’t have scat pack.
I felt like an idiot because half the options I had I didn’t need so I should of just waited a few months and got a scat pack for same money or even cheaper
my 08 G8 GT turns plenty of heads as well and it's 10 years old.
Hey you still have it? Can I get it?
HTX Scat you know you can turn on a setting in the car called easy exit, I think that’s what it’s called. It automatically moves your seat back when it’s turned off. Don’t need an srt for that.
Asbel Armando never knew that! I’ll have to check it out but still no steering wheel movement when exiting
Guilly Lopez mine is a 16
My 17 Daytona has the easy Exit as well. Love it.
Most do not have the power steering wheel adjust option-
I drove a white scat pack and the seats and steering wheel went down ... it might have something to do with the memory seats
I bought the 2018 Daytona comes with six piston Bremo brakes as far as the hood not lining up take it somewhere and fix that small problem I wouldn’t cry about that
Thomas Cabano Take it to the dealership and tell them to fix that nonsense... now.
You know there's nobs under the hood to adjust the gab?
One of the reasons that your car cannot give you the "fat boy exit" function was because you didn't get the premium package when you bought it.
So why did you buy one is the question I want to ask ?
Attention to detail.. very well done.
LOVE my 19 scat charger, you still have yours??? San Antonio here.
