It's impossible to drive the 6.4L Scat Pack and not smile like a 7-year-old on Christmas morning. The exhaust note and power are just too fun and cool. And the leather seats and leather-wrapped steering wheel -- great bonuses.
Problem with challengers is for the price they are plain Jane hardly any features. I mean look at the seats compare that to a Camaro or mustang or anything literally even a fucking Corolla has more adjustment lol
+Nick Rodriguez lmao look who tried to be smart. a muscle car IS A sports car. it's a type of sports car. like a lamborghini is a "super car" but it's still a sports car.
Santiago Alfaro well camaro and mustang to me are not muscle cars - they are pony cars. The Challenger debut'd as competetion to the pony cars but has always been a muscle car.
After growing up in the 80's - and seeing the decimated performance of cars and FWD in the 90's, never would have imagined in my wildest dreams seeing Mustang, Camaro, Charger and Challenger what they are today. My age group should get a free complimentary car from one of the aforementioned just for living through those horrible years.
I think I've watched every possible TH-cam driving video on the RT Scat Pack, and I love to watch the driver's faces when they get on it... Just absolute euphoria, every time.
Scott West my 1j powers Lexus will pull trains on it even if it was 400 pounds lighter they suck dodge has always been at the end of the line when it gets to performance , all those plastics inside are the same as a dodge caravan it's a poorly slow car please save yourself I'm not insulting I'm putting out facts to prevent you from making a mistake as will pull trains in it so will a slight modded 5.0
Big heavy slow car, right? Guess the 11.991 @ 115.6 I ran with my '16 Scat Pack Challenger on stock tires doesn't mean much...lol. Factory stock car too....made 426 hp and 424 tq SAE at the tires on a Dynojet. Where these cars really shine is from a 35-40 roll, where the weight and traction aren't an issue.
I have a 2017 5.7 R/T m6 w/ STP, - plenty of power for my needs and love the acceleration. It has active exhaust which sounds like an aftermarket in Sport mode. It always puts a smile on my face.
The ONLY issue I have with the Scat Pack Challenger/Charger is its tires.. They are WAY too thing for that power. I had 255's on my damn 2003 Hyundai Tiburon. The Scat Pack comes with 245's and needs 285's or wider especially on that rear.
+Brian Michael Yeah the tires will break loose pretty easy in this thing. I plan to go with a sticky set of 275's on the stock wheel and it should make a huge improvement!
those of you considering buying this car just keep an eye on the radio. My new Scat Pack has only 300 miles on it and my radio is already completely dead. My dealers service department is getting in touch with Chrysler now for a total replacement. Just an FYI.
A Camaro SS is so fucking cramped for big guys. My uncle took me for a ride and I had to sit in the back, and I was hunched over the whole time. I'm 6' 1".
thanks for this video and the other one with the camaro ss. This helped me make my decision on what car would be best for me.... I went with the challenger scatpack and it's way better than people give it credit for it can't take a corner like the camaro can, but day it's fast as hell and so much fun to drive in have no regrets. That 6.4 hemi is a beast....
you saying and me hearing for the first time that a 2016 challenger is naturally aspirated......WARMS MY HEART and gives me hope for future, muscle car generations.....May their head gaskets never blow.
I’m a chevy guy at heart but i must say that Dodge nailed it on the head with the Challenger! 2nd place is the Ford Mustang and last comes the Chevy Camaro...hurts to say but its the truth.
Hey man I own a 2015 Scat Pack that looks just like the one here, with red seats, and let me tell you: get the scat pack. Everywhere I go (especially on a nice day when she's newly washed) I get thumbs ups, people always stare at the car as I drive by, and it's a damn fun car. I was debating on the new Camaro as well, but those things are just way too common to attract any attention at all whatsoever! Challenger's are just rare enough that whenever someone sees my car, it's always a spectacle. Now, if you DON'T want the attention it'd bring, then get the Camaro. You'd just blend in a bit more. Anyways, great vid.
RP, I've been planning on buying a 2016 Challenger R/T Scat Pack for over 6 months, about a month away from ordering(May 2016). Your video is, along with Blake's review, are two of my favorite Challenger scat pack review videos on TH-cam. Your 2nd gear pull and statement, "........oh, man, this car is stupid fast!" was about the best comment I've heard. I will also echo others in the fact that I could tell immediately your elation over the scat pack and how you seemed almost hum-drum in the Camaro SS. I really don't think that the interior on the Camaro even remotely compares to the Challenger. Dodge hit it out of the park with the Scat Pack interior, especially over the previous Challenger generation. Nice job, can't wait to see the first drive video of your new Challenger!
I have a 2015 Scat Pack Challenger in Phantom Black. I beyond love this car. The quality and performance is outstanding. I would suggest you test drive a 2016 before you purchase anything else. It is the last true american muscle car and a fantastic price / value deal. Driving this car is pure joy!
+Phillip Berk Surprisingly they already are right about 500hp to the crank stock! The 485 number from Dodge was a conservative number to help boost the Hellcat's sales.
I swear the new cars are so nice! At first I didn't really like the new models but later they started to grow on me and I started liking them. I got my 14 Charger a month before the 15's came out to the market and I have only seen three R/T's and only one Hellcat since they have come out.
Wow watching this for the first time in 2024 and 8 years ago you predicted the 6.4 being the last true naturally aspirated engine and You’re right on the money!
Just went on a test drive I'm a SP the other day. First tested a V6 then the Scat Pack... like night and day. Also people, forget about the 6 manual... the 8 manual will blow your mind. If anything it shifts much faster and better.
Joseph North, we get what he was saying, considering you were the only one to say something over the month's time the comment has been up w/o any replies. 'till now.
i love the Challenger. A friend of mine brought a 2015 one brand new the R/T and it so dope. Drive nice great power looks good too. Handle good for its size
hey man I just thought id say that I love your reviews man, best ive seen so far, you get all the details I need, want, and extra stuff I wouldn't of thought of... I hope you do a lot more! :D
Bob Pile that color is amazing. I grabbed a white one since I'm nostalgic for the vanishing point movie. Honestly they look great in just about every color. Congrats
Great review on a badass car! I'm only about 8 years late here....lol It is what it's supposed to be, a Muscle Car, the sweet spot in the Challenger line up.. Love them!
I had a supercharged 10 Challenger SRT, great daily driver, super comfortable, but the build quality was a little disappointing in particular the front clip alignment... overall a very nice car... traded it for a "13" Shelby, these are great times for a car enthusiast
tuberman93 axb the gt may be faster if the challenger R/T 5.7L but if you have the 6.4 SRT The challenger is the faster car it has the higher engine , a better transmission and yes it is heavier but it has around 50 more horsepower plus if you ever have a family you have some space where the GT barely has a backseat so one day you might have no choice but to trade it in or buy a second car if you don't already have one
It's unbelievable how much the Challanger has grown and how many versions of this since this video was done 💯👍👍 👍💪, great job on your description of the Challanger, Peace brother 💪💯💯💯
I think people need to realize like i did.. this is a muscle car.. beasty to look to look at, good power, but tough looking and sounding etc not neccessarily a car for racing round a race track all day but to do the job of being rough and tough and mean
I have one but it is a standard six speed. It is the most speed hungry, pavement destroying car I have ever driven. If you are not accustomed to driving a powerful car like this I do not suggest a manual. This is a car that you MUST physically drive constantly. It is not a cruising car. Love it and do not regret it at all. Purchased for almost 32k usd.
The thing that amazes me about people... this company took a bailout from the US government, is owned by FIAT (foreign company) and makes this car in Canada and IMPORTS it INTO the US, not "Imported from Detroit" like the ridiculous TV ads say, yet people will still buy this "American" hot rod car and still think they are buying/driving an American car. My Toyota truck was made in Texas for christ's sake. Being from Detroit and having lived there in my youth and seeing the TOTAL BEATING that Detroit took from companies like Chrysler leaving the area and moving production to Mexico and Canada, this makes me sick.
More than a decade ago in the early 2000’s people were saying V8’s were on their way out. Here we are in 2020 with 650hp Camaro’s, 760hp Mustangs, and just shy of 800hp Challengers. I’ll believe V8’s are gone when they stop making them.
Great review man and I'd get it in B5 Blue too but I'd also get a Shaker hood. It sounds like a complete monster looks fun as Hell to drive and rides nicely. The Scat Pack is a great package.
I wanted a scat pack but I see his gauge says full tank and range is 149 miles to empty for a 18.5 gallon tank. It would be cool at first but filling up that tank with premium all the time will get expensive.
Gas mileage is really up to you. On the highway you can get up to mid 20's. If you go nuts you will see that dip below 20 easily. This car is just too fun and way too comfortable for the money. Almost unbelievable and glad dodge is still producing this car. Grab one now while you can with a v8. They won't be around for long.
All depends on how you drive it. I've seen upper 20's highway with my '16 SP Challenger, and last tank averaged 18.9 mpg with a 60/40 city to hwy mix. Current tank is one I'm seeing how far it will stretch, and already at 120 miles on only a 1/4 used. These cars are flipping awesome, and I'm a long time Ford guy.
not if the manufacturer calls for it. Premium is a higher octane which takes longer to ignite and cause combustion. If you have a car that calls for premium gas you better put it in or your going to have pre-detination issues( engine knock). That's not good for the engine. So no, premium is not a scam. There is an actual reason it exist.
Never had an issue test driving one. The HellCat yes, hard to get a test drive. I got one, but it was obviously a big deal. I ended up buying the 1320 Scat Pack...aka Demon Baby.
A friend of mine tried to race one through a turn in his 06 cobalt (Basic tune, exhaust, intake, etc) Long story short we actually kept up till about 60 was surprised as shit in all honesty. Great video man.
To each their own but this in a manual would be my dream come true. True new school muscle switching gears to that beast of an engine. In due time I'll own one of these.
They may have changed it in recent years, but the manual have a skip shift feature that is apparently a nightmare to deal with. A lot of the posters on the Challenger forum I frequent use a tuner to disable it.
The new 8 spd auto trans is flat out awesome. WOT shifts are spot on, and fast...as in 180 m/s fast. I don't care how good you are at banging gears, the new A8 is faster. The trans also makes it a LOT easier to put the power down. Want control of the shifting, slide the shifter to Manual mode, and have fun with the paddles.
I criticized the automatic saying how it wasn't a real muscle car but I drove a scat lack with the auto and it was excellent now I'd love to buy one in the coming weeks
+gblikesnikes Haha yes. It's an R/T Scat Pack with the same 6.4L engine from the SRT's. The brakes, suspension, and several other smaller components are slightly upgraded in the SRT as compared to the Scat Pack.
BlackTop package also blacks out most of the Chrome inside the cab area. It's a great look but I don't know if it's work $1,200. The Challenger is a more comfy daily driver. However if you have a family or want to save on insurance, get the Charger and the re-sale is much better.
Yolo sweg Mac daddy swaggin no, im 20 right now, driven 3 cars. Having this car as a starter would be a terrible idea, too much power and not enough experience. I woulda loved one when i turned 16 but looking back on it im glad.
Scat Pack Shaker maybe. I was 42K OTD for mine with the appearance and technology package for a '16. Kind of depends on his location and credit though. At 24, that might not be unreasonable. I'm 34 for reference and bought mine overseas via Military Auto Source... saved maybe $2K off of sticker.
Taheel Jagun you would feel like you are driving a rocket compared to the Camry. And you would be seeing the pumps a lot more especially because you would probably be driving a lot differently.
I own the R/T, a 2015 in B5 Blue. I currently have 65,000 miles on it as it is my commuter. (it is currently May 2018) WHEN DRIVEN CONSERVATIVELY, I get 27 MPG most of the time and for 13 tankfuls, I have gotten 28 MPG. Twice I have gotten 29. The 345 (5.7L) has MDS, meaning it shuts off 4 cylinders, not just the fuel, but it closes and leaves closed the valves. transitions are seamless between 4 and 8. 28 can be done but no city. But it takes a conscious effort to ignore Mustangs and Cameros revving on you as they pass. If I WANT to, I do have a 75 HP shot of nitrous but use that very seldom. They are great cars! The only drawback,compared to a generic vanilla box... oops, sorry I meant to say Camery is it, is a 2 door. Some sacrifices must be made.
youre going to want the scat pack appearance package.... bee logo stitched in the seats, and the rear stripe alone is worth it. Also, I know its technically slower, but go with the 6 speed manual. Its a blast and honestly with this car's torque, even a "noob" can drive it.
I just bought me a Hot Lotto ticket 1.85 Million pay no taxes..I'm Damn sure heading to the dealership to get one of these Bad Boys...Red is my color but,that Black sure is nice....
Bro, any young kid goes through cars like that as fast as you do dollars to donuts he didn't go out and earn those rides. If you work a 40 or even 60 hour week, live on your own and support a family I'll will eat my words. Hell, I'll even come work for you.
wtf im turning 25 tommorow and i got this car a couple days ago. Its called maybe working a job and saving money? Sometimes people dont have kids and just want a nice car,
Walked in today and they allowed me to test drive a 5.7L Challenger RT plus, and that was very impressive. I'm looking for a Scat Pack RT so I can't even imagine how fun that'll be
sure its on the heavy side but the scat pack and up does a good job of hiding its weight. The only short coming I found on mine were those skinny 245s dodge decided to pair with a 485 hp V8. A set of 19x10 wheels wrapped in 285s on all four corners solved that issue. Haven't got a chance to test them at a HPDE yet (just autox), but even with the the skinny rubber i was hanging with the best of them. Can't wait till april when track night america comes back.
Why do people scold others that choose to drive automatic cars? Don't get me wrong I want to get a manual for my first car but I wouldn't mind driving an automatic if I had to. Im just wondering why people get so much shit/hate if they choose an automatic over a manual, like, it's their preference.

to me the challenger is the only muscle car left. lets be honest the camero and mustang have lost that muscle car image
Santiago Alfaro well camaro and mustang to me are not muscle cars - they are pony cars. The Challenger debut'd as competetion to the pony cars but has always been a muscle car.

how about charger?? I love Chargers so much.
They're both pony cars. Different category all together tbh.

I've heard a lot of people say 285's are the max but 275's fit the best.
***** 275's are a lot more rubber to the ground than the 245's and are probably less expensive than the 285's.
Yeah that's the route most people go with for those reasons. Huge improvement from a simple "mod".

The thing that amazes me about people... this company took a bailout from the US government, is owned by FIAT (foreign company) and makes this car in Canada and IMPORTS it INTO the US, not "Imported from Detroit" like the ridiculous TV ads say, yet people will still buy this "American" hot rod car and still think they are buying/driving an American car. My Toyota truck was made in Texas for christ's sake. Being from Detroit and having lived there in my youth and seeing the TOTAL BEATING that Detroit took from companies like Chrysler leaving the area and moving production to Mexico and Canada, this makes me sick.
WillyTV Detroit has become a shithole. Why would anything be in Detroit?
WillyTV Canada, US & Mexico are American smart one ...
People stopped buying American, because Japanese offered cheaper more efficient alternatives. Blame your neighbors.
Your truck was assembled in Texas, but the parts were made overseas! ,,
More than a decade ago in the early 2000’s people were saying V8’s were on their way out. Here we are in 2020 with 650hp Camaro’s, 760hp Mustangs, and just shy of 800hp Challengers. I’ll believe V8’s are gone when they stop making them.
The ss is the faster car but tbh the scatpack has more power and is badass af
Great video. It's good to see the difference between the Scat Pack and the SRT 392, which I have. Love that 6.4L Hemi.
scat pack is one of my dreams ever wish me luck to get one 💔💔💔
Great review man and I'd get it in B5 Blue too but I'd also get a Shaker hood. It sounds like a complete monster looks fun as Hell to drive and rides nicely. The Scat Pack is a great package.
This hurts my heart I fucking love challengers
love the look of this car . it's the last true muscle car being produced today
I wanted a scat pack but I see his gauge says full tank and range is 149 miles to empty for a 18.5 gallon tank. It would be cool at first but filling up that tank with premium all the time will get expensive.
I typically get around 250-300 miles on a tank of gas with my SP.
Gas mileage is really up to you. On the highway you can get up to mid 20's. If you go nuts you will see that dip below 20 easily. This car is just too fun and way too comfortable for the money. Almost unbelievable and glad dodge is still producing this car. Grab one now while you can with a v8. They won't be around for long.
All depends on how you drive it. I've seen upper 20's highway with my '16 SP Challenger, and last tank averaged 18.9 mpg with a 60/40 city to hwy mix. Current tank is one I'm seeing how far it will stretch, and already at 120 miles on only a 1/4 used. These cars are flipping awesome, and I'm a long time Ford guy.
Premium gas is a scam
not if the manufacturer calls for it. Premium is a higher octane which takes longer to ignite and cause combustion. If you have a car that calls for premium gas you better put it in or your going to have pre-detination issues( engine knock). That's not good for the engine. So no, premium is not a scam. There is an actual reason it exist.
And I love the Mopar shirt you wore during the review, proper way to review the car.
+Dylan Kohl Haha thanks I agree! :)
Love my Scat yes I could of bought a Hellcat or Redeye Cat but took the 392 and moded her and absolutely a joy to drive!
He says: this is why I would choose the challenger over the camaro.Two days later: buys camaro!
Reece Wilkerson 🤦♂️
Never had an issue test driving one. The HellCat yes, hard to get a test drive. I got one, but it was obviously a big deal. I ended up buying the 1320 Scat Pack...aka Demon Baby.
why don't you buy a manual transmission
These youngsters can't drive it
A friend of mine tried to race one through a turn in his 06 cobalt (Basic tune, exhaust, intake, etc) Long story short we actually kept up till about 60 was surprised as shit in all honesty.
Great video man.
I just bought one I love it
How are the blind spots? Can you see out the small windows behind the driver and passenger while driving?
The blind spots arent nearly as bad as its competitors, definitely not the worst but they're there
metalmeltdown31 the blind spots are a bitch a have a 2016 and it has hella blind spots
mario keizer How much do they cost?
Are they Srt or RT?
The only tall guys real option. I got in a Mustang the other day and I was a bent straw. 6 foot five
6:03 10.3 mpg haha
All depends on how you drive lmao, whether your cruising or if your always pushing the car
10:25 that second to third shift sounds just absolutely wicked!!
Monique, go over to my channel and watch the track vids....those WOT shifts sound awesome.
I want this to be my first car
right its sick asf
haha if i was younger and this was my first car.. i wouldnt be alive today :D
+Janson McCreery reason why?
Because i didn't have the maturity that i have today. I was immature and took crazy risks.
Alex Grube What if drove poorly because you had nothing to lose in a four banger? If you crash, it's just a cheap four banger.
Very nice chill content thank you for this video 🙏🏼😊
I just can't wrap my head around buying one of these with an automatic.
To each their own but this in a manual would be my dream come true. True new school muscle switching gears to that beast of an engine. In due time I'll own one of these.
They may have changed it in recent years, but the manual have a skip shift feature that is apparently a nightmare to deal with. A lot of the posters on the Challenger forum I frequent use a tuner to disable it.
Cade Johnson Traffic.
The new 8 spd auto trans is flat out awesome. WOT shifts are spot on, and fast...as in 180 m/s fast. I don't care how good you are at banging gears, the new A8 is faster. The trans also makes it a LOT easier to put the power down. Want control of the shifting, slide the shifter to Manual mode, and have fun with the paddles.
I criticized the automatic saying how it wasn't a real muscle car but I drove a scat lack with the auto and it was excellent now I'd love to buy one in the coming weeks
I’m getting this car very soon I can’t wait 🥴
why pay $100 to paint a stock grill when you can pay $8 to plastidip that shit. Cant even tell
Ian Eviston because you gotta keep plastidipping it and after a while that shit gets annoying as fuck plus the peel fuck thag
Ian Eviston you Jew!
Awesome get it. I'm thinking about getting the R/T or shaker one the 2016
I'm lost its an R/T with an SRT8 engine?????
+gblikesnikes Haha yes. It's an R/T Scat Pack with the same 6.4L engine from the SRT's. The brakes, suspension, and several other smaller components are slightly upgraded in the SRT as compared to the Scat Pack.
+RP Productions -So basically it's an SRT badged as an R/T?
Haha in a nutshell, yes.
BlackTop package also blacks out most of the Chrome inside the cab area. It's a great look but I don't know if it's work $1,200. The Challenger is a more comfy daily driver. However if you have a family or want to save on insurance, get the Charger and the re-sale is much better.
Would this be good for a first car ?
Yolo sweg Mac daddy swaggin I think it would be good as hell for a first car lol
Yolo sweg Mac daddy swaggin no, im 20 right now, driven 3 cars. Having this car as a starter would be a terrible idea, too much power and not enough experience. I woulda loved one when i turned 16 but looking back on it im glad.
Tha'ts like giving a 8yr a ten speed for a first bike lol
David Jackson what about if I get the GT challenger as my first car would that be a mistake cause I live in Minnesota and we get snow so much
definitely not....I'm 35 and almost put it in a while....at the very least start with a 345 rt
Damn Riley things have changed alot since this review.
If you're employed they'll let you test drive. I got a 50 grand scat pack and I'm 24
yo, that seems really expensive for a scat pack.
+Rolando Torres got all the toys
Scat Pack Shaker maybe. I was 42K OTD for mine with the appearance and technology package for a '16. Kind of depends on his location and credit though. At 24, that might not be unreasonable. I'm 34 for reference and bought mine overseas via Military Auto Source... saved maybe $2K off of sticker.
$39,001 OTD with mine. It stickered for $41,285. The only options I got were the "WRT" wheels and Driver Convenience Group.
+Jonathan Miller Not sure what you're getting at.
Living in Arizona, I would get a lighter paint finish and load up all the electronic driving aids,order the ventilated seats and tint those windows.
Can anyone comment on, how much difference is it driving this car compare to a 2005 Toyota Camry? Is the fuel mileage relative?
Taheel Jagun you would feel like you are driving a rocket compared to the Camry. And you would be seeing the pumps a lot more especially because you would probably be driving a lot differently.
azlanberesford What about a Porsche panamera 2014?
The difference is like being punched in the chest vs shot in the chest lol
Taheel Jagun Camry? Someone clicked on the wrong link...
I own the R/T, a 2015 in B5 Blue. I currently have 65,000 miles on it as it is my commuter. (it is currently May 2018) WHEN DRIVEN CONSERVATIVELY, I get 27 MPG most of the time and for 13 tankfuls, I have gotten 28 MPG. Twice I have gotten 29. The 345 (5.7L) has MDS, meaning it shuts off 4 cylinders, not just the fuel, but it closes and leaves closed the valves. transitions are seamless between 4 and 8. 28 can be done but no city. But it takes a conscious effort to ignore Mustangs and Cameros revving on you as they pass. If I WANT to, I do have a 75 HP shot of nitrous but use that very seldom. They are great cars! The only drawback,compared to a generic vanilla box... oops, sorry I meant to say Camery is it, is a 2 door. Some sacrifices must be made.
youre going to want the scat pack appearance package.... bee logo stitched in the seats, and the rear stripe alone is worth it. Also, I know its technically slower, but go with the 6 speed manual. Its a blast and honestly with this car's torque, even a "noob" can drive it.
All black...call it African-American muscle.
black is a classic color for muscle/race cars man...
Gym Rat Drew African Canadian muscle maybe, the car is not American
Gym Rat Drew huh?
Gym Rat Drew haha put watermelon and fried chicken and grape juice in the back seat!
R byee 😂😂😂 lmaoo
My Son has this exact car car! I call it my Grandchild! 😂
I just bought me a Hot Lotto ticket 1.85 Million pay no taxes..I'm Damn sure heading to the dealership to get one of these Bad Boys...Red is my color but,that Black sure is nice....
Nice!
With the appearance package though you get the Scat Pack stripe that just looks utterly mean.
Rich kid daddy owns a dodge dealership.
lmfao where did you come up with this?
Bro, any young kid goes through cars like that as fast as you do dollars to donuts he didn't go out and earn those rides. If you work a 40 or even 60 hour week, live on your own and support a family I'll will eat my words. Hell, I'll even come work for you.
I will admit to having respect for your taste in cars though.
Lol this isn't my car...This car was actually a subscribers car.
wtf im turning 25 tommorow and i got this car a couple days ago. Its called maybe working a job and saving money? Sometimes people dont have kids and just want a nice car,
Walked in today and they allowed me to test drive a 5.7L Challenger RT plus, and that was very impressive. I'm looking for a Scat Pack RT so I can't even imagine how fun that'll be
Aaannnndd... it's an automatic
sad times
UberShadow666 the auto is faster than the manual
steer it vs. drive it you pick ;)
Rob Ridge ...if u drove a big truck for a living u wouldnt mind a automatic
yadda 10 still wouldn't
good job with the video. I really enjoyed it!
challenger is getting long in the tooth...time for a new design.
nah
Rumor is 2018 for the next generation. They are thing about using the Alfa Romao rwd chassis and ditching the benz setup.
Carl Meaux Nice......im so tired of this boxy slabbed sided generation. that weighs as much as an suv.
sure its on the heavy side but the scat pack and up does a good job of hiding its weight. The only short coming I found on mine were those skinny 245s dodge decided to pair with a 485 hp V8. A set of 19x10 wheels wrapped in 285s on all four corners solved that issue. Haven't got a chance to test them at a HPDE yet (just autox), but even with the the skinny rubber i was hanging with the best of them. Can't wait till april when track night america comes back.
+Carl Meaux I love you
I'm totally convinced!!! I want this car....great video
Stopped watching as soon as I saw the auto shiftier.
Lol
***** Yeah no shit, but this isn't one.
+Bender Rodriquez you're cool
Hank Hill Thanks Hank.
Why do people scold others that choose to drive automatic cars? Don't get me wrong I want to get a manual for my first car but I wouldn't mind driving an automatic if I had to. Im just wondering why people get so much shit/hate if they choose an automatic over a manual, like, it's their preference.
Your reaction says it all
What's the 1/4 mile on this gorgeous Challenger??? I want at least 11 second car if Ima drop $45,000+ 🏃
