Muscle cars! You love them. You know we love them! Today we get behind the wheel of a couple of the most powerful muscle cars - the Dodge Charger and the Dodge Challenger - and see what these bad boys can do. We take a 2017 Dodge Charger Daytona 392 and put it up against a 2018 Dodge Challenger 392 Scat Pack to give you a rundown of everything from driving impressions to interior comfort. Join us for a Dodge Challenger vs. Charger pairing, as we go over the ins and outs of these two muscle cars. By putting the Challenger vs. Charger, we'll help you figure out which one is right for you. Keep in mind, though, that certain types of racing can impact your warranty or service plan, so be sure to check your paperwork.

Thanks for the explaination !!!
I was really confused which one should I buy,
and I think I will go with prius!
My dad has a 2019 Dodge Charger RT Scat Pack with the 392 Hemi V8 and man its a beast.
6.4l??
@@Tomgonzalez135 Yep you got it brother.
@@CJColvin nice bro...i have a 2012 srt8 man i love it ...i lot of horsepower for a sedan car ...dogde #1
@@Tomgonzalez135 It sure is brother.
@@Tomgonzalez135 392 is a 6.4L
Cool boy go to challenger.
Cool dad go to charger with baby car seat.
Cool mom go to durango srt
So mopar or no car.
@LookatHim sounds good. But my wife has srt durango and I have hellcat charger
She even did a better burnout than him
The challenger has only 245s vs the charger with 275s so it makes sense that the challenger did a better burnout
Hellcat babyyyyy
@Issa Vibez lol nope
Mustang and Camaro look nothing like their originals. The Challenger actually looks like the old school Challenger.
I mean they supposed to evolved
@@ImJusSha I get that. I like that they did, but people talk about how cars that are revived or are supposed to be based off older models, are totally different. The Challenger kinda stuck with that Challenger look from way back when.
Agreedd
I couldn't agree more brother.
$ for $ the Camaro and mustang are faster
Challenger:True muscle car
Charger:Muscle Sedan
so what about the older chargers?
@@merf500 I was referring to the recent challenger and charger,
@@merf500 The Old school Chargers are definitely one of the most badass muscle cars of all time along with the 70 Chevelle SS 454.
You got it brother the Challenger is a badass modern day muscle car and the Charger is a pure badass muscle sedan.
Its crazy how they marketed the scheme of transitioning the 2 door coupe charger muscle car into a 4 door family vehicle to later on bring the 2 door challenger in to still appeal to the “true muscle car” enthusiasts...getting product to wider range of consumers....VERY simple, VERY smart!
I have a 2013 SRT-8 Challenger and absolutely love it. I specifically got the Challenger because my kids are teenagers now, so I bought myself a muscle car to make up for the one I sold when we had our youngest "93 Z-28" and my SRT-8 would eat my old Z-28 in a race.
Can’t go wrong with either one of those 392’s
Would have liked to seen you switch cars and see how the outcome in a drag race would have been
Challengers are just faster
The Dodge Challenger, past or present, has NEVER been a “pony car”! Pony cars are compact cars with big engines. The Mustang and Camaro fit that description. The Challenger has always been a full-sized two-door sedan, and classic muscle car! 💪🏿
A sedan is 4 doors, and a coupe is a 2 door! Just wanted to tell you that 😄
@@HotStrings_ A simple Google search can cure all degrees of ignorance, sir! 😂
My dad has a 2020 dodge challenger scat pack 392 in the color of hellrasin
Hellrasin is sick 💜🤤
no one asked
It’s such a badass color
I got a 2020 widebody charger in black
Scat pack and 392 are redundant. All 3rd gen scats are 392
That 392 Hemi a monster 👹
Is it the same motor that eats it's self or is it a earlier gen.
Either way it eats
Carmax doesn't sell hellcats.
That’s not a hellcat that’s a scat pack 392 hemi
@@zecroo1421 they talk about in the video of hellcats like you can go buy one at Carmax.
Dodge charger scat pack rt 392 hemi 6.4l
whtblitz _rt oh I didn’t hear that sorry mane
Yes
Only ad I’ve purposely clicked to watch.
I said the same thing😂
Lol, me too!
If Dodge made a Scat Pack Redeye then it would probably have the almighty 426 Gen III Hemi V8 making well over 600 HP.
LMFAO, first off, Scat Packs aren't SRT's, so that will NEVER happen, and Second, putting a 426 in a Production Challenger will kill Hellcat sales, so it wouldn't make any sense
MoparFam 300C it would make sense though.. considering they used to make a SRT 392 which has the same engine as the scatpack.
@@marioosorio3636 You got that right brother.
MARIO OSORIO exactly I hate when people say scatpack is not srt to engine.. 392 hemi was rocking the srt badge until they dropped hellcat in like 2015 lmao.
@@marioosorio3636 Okay but it's not though soooo...
That was a great video! I almost went online to start the process of buying one 😂 I’m still gonna wait this bubble out.
Love my challenger 🔥
Amen 💪🏼
I have a 2013 SXT V6 had it for 4 months now.
@@romesantana8960 how have you liked it? I’m narrowing down some used v6 challengers to buy. I hear mostly positive.
Lol of course you do you have it as your profile picture😆
I wanna know does that Challenger scat pack have a super track pack mode. Because mine does
Should have used the 5.7 instead it's more realistic that people can afford them more than a 392, And the fact that the 5.7 power is more in line with what the old muscle cars were
This just came up for me as a pre video ad. I watched the whole thing.
I been looking to see what I really want in the future soon. I been seen camaros 5.0 mustang this is the last one so I kind of got my eyes into challenger rt
Which is more reliable or are they about the same? I like the look of the challenger more but my 2 year old challenger already has window issues. It’s supposed to automatically roll up and down when you open and close the door and it just stopped working.
Killed the charger turning it into a family car sad
And they out here gapping other vehicles
Earned a sub.+like! Love it!
I want a Challenger Scatpack other wise known as the Challenger from Vanishing Point
Did she say Shelby camaro?
Every car video should have an intro like this
If they would put a manual on the charger that would be the point for me to get one.
Thanks for the video
I love my Dodge Charger ❤️
In my dreams i own a 2020 Challenger Hellcat Redeye widebody in Torred...... 👍 😊
As an owner of a destroyer gray shaker I can tell you it's dirty as soon as the water is off
I had a srt8 and it was so fun, I was deciding between my Porsche for fun and the demon but I went for the Porsche and I don’t regret it but It would also be very fun to own the demon
Also the demon is gonna go up in value along with the crate
I have 2017 SRT 8 Challenger and it’s like a dream car
Scatpack is from the scatpackers group back in the day.
None of these two cars 82 foxbody mustang fits me but no hate
The Challenger DTRL always look dim to me
It’s hard to decide between old mustang, new mustang, any old muscle car, these or corvettes... guys what is your pick?
Corvette for precision and power but muscle for the mean ass look and some power behind it too
Corvette to be a pro racer ;Challenger to be the “road warrior king”…
Chargers are aerodynamically faster than challengers at the same engine levels. They also weigh less. The charger is definitely the better performance car. It’s also very practical. A lot of people are ignorant and think it’s slower because it has 4 doors.
It is slower and heavier. More aerodynamic maybe since it’s compared to a brick. Definitely heavier 4291~ for an R/T charger and 4182~ for a challenger. Got the weight directly from dodge’s website. That added weight is because of the 4 doors. Ignorance definitely plays a part when you’re trying to convince yourself one thing is better than another.
@@Niugnep Charger hellcat top speed- 204 Challenger hellcat top speed-200. Dodge said themselves that their fastest production vehicle is the charger. Keep crying buddy
@@JinKazoomer Top speed is based on how strong the chassis is built to handle the forces exerted on it. Obviously the vehicle that has added structural rigidity (due to the added doors) will have a higher top speed. if you were speaking about top speed before it wasn't clear. With mentions of weight (assumed weight advantage) and aerodynamics. Other than that stuff most of what you said is true. It definitely is faster with a higher top speed. Not someone who typically follows mopar so I check before I write something out. No need to fret just letting you know facts from the manufacturers website so you can edit your initial statement about weight and added doors being the reason "ignorant people don't buy one over the other". Any particular reason you felt the need to add "Keep crying bud" instead of stating where you got the claimed top speed from. I'm always interested in learning more about muscle cars as my family has some from dodge, chevy and ford. I legitimately could not find any article on or off of dodge's website of the top speeds you mentioned.
@@Niugnep I’m not even hating on the challenger, it’s a sick car, I’m just tired of all these people slandering the Charger for something as stupid as how many doors it has and calling it a “family sedan” when that’s not what the car was made for or even marketed as. It’s a muscle car.
@@JinKazoomer they’re both cool. 2 of my brother in laws have one each. A challenger hellcat and a charger hellcat. One of my cousins has a ZL1 camaro. I’m the only one with a run of the mill with a Mustang GT have it modified to the point I beat them all. The charger definitely is better and more practical compared to the other 3. There is no way any of them compete. I’ve driven them both charger rides better. They’re some of the cars I’m looking to swap into in a few years. Definitely do get the family sedan. Always hear that one when I’m with my BIL. Still smokes the cars it races. I see that as a badge of honor. I like the crazy Durango srt hellcat for the same reason. Not every vehicle can manage what those do especially with the amount of space and options they offer for the price. The few that do are well over double the price
I like my dodge charger but i want the challenger too
Definitely Charger for sure.
Yes’r🤙🏽
Challenger T/A is the most nostalgic trim. You know it.
That and the shaker
Should of made the charger optional coup or sedan
I just need a dodge demon and I’m set for life
Hellcats are better 😂
@@karen_boomer8603 For you to say a hellcat is better than a demon let's me know you know nothing about these cars
@@777moe i know about cars and i think hell cats are better
@@Idk-uk1jz You must be saying better by looks but performance wise it's not.
@@777moe exactly cause a demon is 840hp and a hellcat is 707 hp
Stop saying the Charger is a muscle car it used to be a muscle car back in the 70’s. But now Dodge turn it into a Sports family sedan so is no where close to be and still a true 2 door muscle car like the Challenger.
Nah buts it’s a Muscle Sedan
Master Chef Nope not anymore it’s a sports family sedan period!
@@SIDVENOM They don’t put v8s in sports family sedans. They’re all turbo charged. Plus due to its very aggressive styling is why people consider it a muscle car. Doors has nothing to do with it bud.
The shit people concern themselves with on a regular basis is pathetic.
Chevelle had a 4 door model
this might be a wild guess but i think ones a full sized sedan
Go to 4:38 and listen “moaning... ahh she beat me good”
That seatbelt is the happiest.
Would like to see the normal challenger the shaker has more hp than the normal rt
Sport mode does not change throttle response.....
My Charger is faster than the challenger top end especially past 100 mph I pull HARD on all other scat pack challengers
That’s a lie
Y’all took my 392 🙃 @392franny
Great mouse click marketing for the location of her seat belt!
2:10 he said it wrong it’s actually 717 horsepower and it’s a Dodge Charger Hellcat Widebody
Yes the widebody charger dayton package was 717 hp for 2020. But you can get a redeye in a charger now .
I really wish the charger had a six speed manual option, but I don’t think it’ll ever happen.
Sure won't, because it wouldn't make sense
But the chevy ss could be had with the tremic 6spd
It is not completely too hard to put a manual in. If you want to stay oe the tunnel has to be slightly modified where there is a plate on the side of the tunnel. And then obviously the computers are different. But a little and you can put an aftermarket one in.
Yo I want a 2 door charger
@@moparfam300c why wouldn’t it make sense, especially with the 392 or Hellcat versions? Lots of people like to row through the gears and it just ain’t the same on a paddle shifting auto.
Why didn’t they switch?
How do you call that a “fancy interior”? 😂
Yes camaro and mustangs call us the boats
2017 vs 2018 is crazy
Just lower the price and y’all would sell them
They cheaper now just gotta find the right dealership
If you even the price to a accord or Camry how many people are going be on the road to kill each other in the streets with all that powa it takes away from any nostalgia or specialness
I love my Challenger but I have one problem with these Dodge’s. THE WEIGHT.
Legit only 300 pounds more than the competition. Seat delete and you are about equal
I’ve got the blacked out charger, and the biggest complaint I have too, is visibility. I personally think it’s crap. Blind spots are bad too
Kenny Wigley is that because it’s so heavy wide idk?
@@neverstopushing3638 what you mean “only” 300lbd
the difference is the challenger kept 2 doors from the 70's, the charger didnt.
But most (everyone) police use charger than hellcat as they have better milege?
She said u can have a 807 hp challenger demon but it’s actually 808 or on race gas 840😶😐
She’s talking about the super stock
The new challenger super stock 807hp 2021 model year
Bj Brown ohhh but why she say up to 807 prolly cause they not making demons no more
The Challenger looked the way it did in 1970 an the Chargers copied its back lights an door carvings from 1969 an 1970 the 2006 -2011 Chargers an that body styles copied the back lights on the 1968 the round lights
Thank god for the seatbelt
Should have swapped cars and raced again so we could really compare cars and not driving abilities
Charger
I just wish the charger has a manual transmission so ill not have to decide which to choose
They both have manual options💯
Lol no 392 powered chargers fly under the radar lol
Charger 😍
Hold on. What Carmax test cars like this? I need that job
You should have done scat pack vs scat pack
a 392 daytona has the same engine as a scat lol
@@marc8858 people who don’t know anything about these cars don’t know this
@@texasstreetkings537 literally lol
Challengers have a different gear ratio.......
Sorry but...I thought the video was about cars....I am all about seeing competent people doing what they are good at but why did they not find someonw else who's competent to race her, even another girl. He even says he's a novice at this. So the charger completely got under represented and this female driver got an empowerment video? Is there only one decent track driver there? And why did the driver's not switch cars so you could see if the performance difference was the drivers or actually the cars? This video was a real bunt of a victory lap for that female driver when it could have been about the cars. They didn't even get new cars from the same year. And this is edmund and carmax when individual content creators can do that much.
4 doors for more foes 😉
My only thing which make me want the charger
If ur over 6’0 ur not fitting in back of challenger comfortably so everyone knows
I’m 6’2 and this is very true.
I’m 7’3 and I agree
I’m 9’1 and this is indeed true
EVERYONE HERE SHOULD BE FROM WASHINGTON
They didn’t do a burnout
I just don’t get why people hate on them so much. The car community has come to shit
I think because V6 owners are obnoxious and talk trash as if they owned a hellcat/demon. There’s nothing wrong with V6 cars just the owners
Beast0987 i own a v6 charger. i’m 17 it’s my first car and i don’t talk any shit. i realize it’s just a v6 and it’s ab as slow as a honda accord but i still love it. and of course nothing beats a v8. people just need to have pride for what they have and not make it something it isn’t
Lucas DeStefano not as slow as my 180 hp 2017 honda accord was
You Like a Edmunds
BIG BROTHER WON, OF COURSE. #CHALLENGERLIFEBABY#
This video exists
Me: 😂🤣😭💀
Right
The name, lol .
Said nothing about handling
NO GO...
THESE ARE NOT TEN SECOND CARS...
DIESEL WOULD NOT APPROVE 🙄
you can buy boats at carmax???
I get way too many ads from this company and it makes me mad and its in spanish I NEVER LIVED THERE your ads make mad cuz it glitches my game and i have to exit and come back it loads slower and THIS IS WHY I CAME🤬
-By the hater
These guys don’t even know how to launch the cars properly
The charger should have won.
Facts
Yeah but Elana has way better reaction times than I do. So, I lost, pretty much every time. Shows you how much of drag racing is about skill.
It is slightly slower than the challenger because it is a shorter wheelbase even though they are on the same platform.
@@Sak-zo1ui It can be yes - but it's also lighter! (And I'm a heavier and slower driver haha)
It’s proven that the charger is faster then the challenger and it’s also lighter and over all the charger also looks better so charger all the way
Ummmmm no, charger is way heavier than a challenger 2 more doors heavier
MOPAR OR NOCAR atleast is used to be unless I’m trippin but the challenger is slower then the charge due to arrow dynamics
MOPAR OR NOCAR and plus the charger looks way better
Seb_Fig707 the charger looks way better I have a widebody charger hellcat and I love it
MOPAR OR NOCAR done anything to it so far
She's not faster. There the same power. Actually the charger makes better times.
Holy crap fix the audio Jesus
Nooo CD
Doors
Challenger is a muscle car. Charger is a soccer mom car.
What? How? Didn’t know soccer moms drive 6.4 liter v8s. Stfu
No Hellcat? No care
That guy sucks don’t know how to drive that charger
Camaro is my preference
Yeah but it’s being discontinued soon
And my heart hurts
I don’t consider the camaro 4 cylinder as a muscle car
Same thing with mustang with 4 cylinder
A 4 cylinder motor is a disgrace to even be in a car like that I know ford does like that with the mustang
