Straight up 💯. My lil bro 21 with a v6 charger. I let him drive my RT to see if he feel a difference, and he was close to smacking my car about 3 times. When I got back I told my family he ain’t ready for no upgrades 😭😭.
@@RichzWayzENT a scat not as fast as you think neither. You talking to me like you got a cat 😭😭. I just was telling a story. GOMD. I can guarantee I got more money the. You so keep it moving. I’m not the one lil bro
I think the RT is a good start actually, it’s not too fast and not too slow you also have waaaaay more control over them vs something with 400+ horsepower. The RT was actually my first V8 muscle car I ever drove and the experience went very well, you feel like you’re still controlling the car and not like the car is controlling you.
My first car at age 16 was an 85 Thunderbird with a 5.0. Can't believe I didn't wreck it with all the stupid stuff I did. My kid is getting my 07 Camry.
100% with you and what @Hemi Muscle is saying: wayyyyyyy too much power for a young person, or even a beginning driver to have. You don't know yet how to drive carefully and methodically, nor how to predict potential bad situations. Also I'm totally on board with y'all about a V6 with 300hp being *plenty*
I started out with a 1.0L Nissan Micra when I was 17 🤣 But here in Ireland they won't insure you on anything over 1.6 until you're 25. I'm 30 this year and most won't even insure me on anything over 3.0 but I'll be the first in the country to have a road legal hellcat! I'll find a way!
Carmax CEO said they will not be lowering their prices (even though most dealerships will be in the coming months). They are shifting their focus from volume sales to profitable sales according to their last earnings release report. $2100 or so per car in profit. They used sell 500 to 600 cars a week.

@@Mr392Scat yea. I like that idea in theory but when I look on Cardura and see the same car with similar miles but it's almost 3 or 4 grand cheaper then I go with that.
@@Mr392Scat Yup. Their pride and greed is hurting them now. I'd buy one from them this wkend if they lowered their price. I have my eye on a Scat, ready to upgrade my RT.
Your right Hem. Peer pressure is very dangerous now especially with social media. Back on tha day peer pressure had a fun connection to it most of the time. There were some out liars but for the most part it was about dares.
I bought a hellcat charger for my first car at 18. Gave it to my sister when she turned 18. I think if you're responsible why not. Only if said person can afford to pay that note too. Don't pay for them. And make them appreciate it even more and strive to make more money. Yes, I got many tickets and paid them myself. Good thing no one ever got hurt while I was driving.
Carmax over charges but they make it quick an easy to buy a car that is good part even with good credit bad credit or low credit they get you riding for sure without hassle as other dealerships do
i agree with you i tell everyone anytime this convo comes up start small and work your way up . my first car was a 2008 dodge caliber sxt (4 cyl) after i paid that off i got a 2012 chevy camaro 1lt ( 6 cyl) now i drive a 2017 camaro 1 ss (8 cyl) next will be a zl1 . do what you can aford and what makes sense because at the end of the day you are the one stuck with those payments and upkeep not the people your trying to impress buy stuff for you not for other people.
Coming from a father of a now 27yo son and me and his mom got him a old ford explorer as his first car his freshman year of college, Yeah a Scat is definitely not a first car for an inexperienced young kid, great advice
Totally agree bro! I saw what my brother did to my pop's '67 Olds 442 when he was just learning to drive. Too much power in the hand of an inexperienced driver is just a recipe for disaster. That's also why Dodge gave out passes to Bondurant for those that bought the Hellcats when they first came out. Not to mention why the Hellcats have 2 different keys.
Have your brothet check out a Charger GT. It's Pentastar V-6 has around 300hp. Torque is around 265. The Scat Packs in my opinion are dangerous cars. Dodge puts those skinny 245 tires on it which is rediculous. Try punching the gas while going 25mph and the car will fish tail.
$500 Honda civic $500 on a motor put together at age 17 me and my buddies... Working on your own car can save alot of money and going to the junk yard. Nobody bought me a car... I had to build it. Most kids today don't even know how or where to start on an engine swap...
If he got the money you shouldn’t knock him down at all a lot of us youngins just chasing what we want n personally my momma didn’t say anything when I got a amg as my first car bc I saved up n bought it the day after I turned 18 I’m 20 now n built it n haven’t crashed it I’ve had this v8 twin turbo n it runs great
I feel you, but that car is way too much power for him bro not only that he's heading off to college soon no need to have a high car payment and insurance right now imo 👍🏾
Nahh his first vehicle he doesn’t need nobody Scat Pack or even a 5.7 hemi. Be done wrap that car around a tree. Until he gets use to driving all he need is a little knock around car. I’d say most first time car owners bang them up a lil bit.
@@JVeleta11 so you saying a almost 500hp car is a good starting point for a young dude with no driving experience? Be real now bruh lol maybe if he’s a older guy who somehow managed to go throughout without having to get a license then sure. My first car was a 04 dodge intrepid only had 200hp and I loved it. Levels to life man I started with a SXT then worked my up to a 6.4 Overall a Scat pack is not a good decision to put a young fist time car owner in at all.
No that's not a good idea it's a machine not a toy and you definitely need to respect that Hemi! Slow down get your skills up ! Great pick but that's a real car
I think it juss depends on how he drive’s already because my first car was a Toyota Camry but I didn’t have it long cause I bought a 2013 charger rt and fell in love with it and I drove my cousin rt charger before I got mine to see the car drive and to get use to the horsepower and now I’m in the market for a scat pack or a ss Camaro(I’m 20 years old btw)
I just like Carmax because they’re convenient, shipping is cheap, 24 hours test drive so you can take it home and find what’s messed up lol, 30 days full refunds but they are overpriced but convenient
No way in hell anybody should have a 500hp car as a "FIRST" car. He needs a older cheap Altima, Camry or FWD Impala fuck-it-bucket. Then graduate to a high-powered car. Also fuck Carmax's silly ass "No Haggle" pricing. They smoking crack with those prices. Over 80k & still want retail New car pricing 😂😂😂
ya i made a mistake and got my daughter a 43k R/T Charger awhile back. she's in her 30s, and responsible, but she likes bumpin into things, hitting the curbs while on her phone, backing into the concrete pole at the gas station. i guess u could say shes accident prone, but not reckless. cost me 10k to get her 2021 R/T back to like to new, so we could trade it in, traded it for a Nissan Rogue, and we got some $$$ back, and i let her have it for tags and other things. so ya, wrong cars for her! and she's 35, i can imagine what a younger person would do to a Scat Pack! yikes ☮
Ok, I am back. $50k without taxes and plates. That will be like 55k out the door. Also has way too of high miles. Now, for a 17 year old they need to be in the V6 or smaller. Because statics show most kids crash/total their first car. Why smash up such a nice car? For me I had a 1991 Ford Taurus as my first car. This car blew up before I could smash it. Then, I got a 2002 Ford Focus SE. Totaled this car. Fixed it. Blew it up twice, and I fixed it both times. Then, a 2014 Buick Regal GS. Never any issues. Then, my 2019 Challenger 5.7. And now my 2016 Jeep SRT and 2018 Camaro SS. I say take your time. Wait and learn how to drive a few years. You will enjoy it much more when you know how to care for it!
Never owned a v8 or a dodge before, but is the scat daily drivable? If it is then that's cool. Wouldn't know what to do with a damn 700 hp car tbh 🤣 can't afford that right now.
That car will also make him a unsuspecting target. Nothing wrong with waiting a while to get one. It also costs way too much out the door and he has to consider the maintenance. Do him a favor and get a Honda or Toyota.
Not gonna be a popular opinion. I come in peace. Start out with something simple, even something they can pay cash for if they can. Teach young folks how to save and invest, and over time they can buy the real deal out right. Your future will thank you.
