Just bought one of these in gloss black with identical specs and it doesn’t disappoint, especially in Sport or Track Mode. The alcantara leather seats are very, very nice, too. We moved to this from the Challenger R/T Blacktop w/ 6-spd manual and this is a much more refined car with equal or better performance. We miss our Challenger’s quirky rawness, but the Charger is a better and more “livable” car with more than enough under the hood to get you into a lot of trouble both with your own life or the cops. The deciding factor for us vs. the Scat was the fuel requirement. The 5.7 will run just fine on 87-89 octane, whereas the 6.4 only wants 93. That’s an additional ~$1000+/yr with daily driving and we’re not taking it to a track on the weekends.
You know what, I like your judgement call. I personally prefer the charger over the challenger, feels more refined like you said. Congratulations on your purchase!
Good overall review, thanks. re: drive mode setups (12:29) - while the manual says the 3.6L and 5.7L don't have break-in restrictions like the 6.4L and 6.2L Hemis, in the R/T the Sport setting for the engine/trans is disabled for the first 500 miles. FYI for those looking at 2023 R/T: the Plus package no longer has heated rear seats, or storage in the rear arm rest, but the Daytona package does have these.
No don’t get the scat pack. Insurance is much more and requires premium fuel. Get an rt plus with track pack for daily driving. If you ever need to race a scat pack just put a 150nitrous shot and maybe a 6.4 intake manifold, both combined are about $1,700.
Thank you very much Mike, and thank you for watching so far into the video. The vehicle I mentioned in the video is the 2022 Cadillac CT-4 V. However, I’d say the CT-5 V is the most comparable with the Charger R/T. I was trying to match the options and price together that’s why the CT-4 V was used in the comparison instead.
Released in 2003 and used in a large variety of models (Rams, Chargers, Challengers, Durangos, Magnums, Grand Cherokees, etc). Remains pretty reliable as long as it’s been up-kept with basic maintenance, great low end torque, and used in the American police fleet.
I wanted to, but since it was a Sunday the dealership’s car wash had been closed and I didn’t want to take an unsold car to a car wash, with respect to the future buyer
Just like every other reviewer, makes no mention about the sound system. Like, fuck. What? People just aren't listening to music in their cars anymore?
Harmon/Kardon is great for Dodge, definitely a step up from the base system. I did a video on it on the Durango review (I drive that car daily). Handles bass better than most vehicles and it’s good at handling mids and highs. Better low end than Bang & Olufsen, but B&O is much better for most genres besides hip hop and R&B. Burmester takes the crown for high end speaker systems.
Thanks. Recently picked up a '20 RT from a rental lot, 55k miles indigo. Stock sound system that I may upgrade, but right now I'm enjoying the music coming out of the stock pipes.

@@OversteerAutoReviews Thanks! I figured I'd share what I've learned about it - it's a hell of a car.
Haha hilarious on the trunk test! Like the extra commentary, and info like the transmission. Keep it up
I have this EXACT same Charger 2022, I absolutely love it ! 💯🔥👌
How’s the car so far? I’m thinking to get one
Good overall review, thanks.

To the point and detailed review.
“Unless you are followed by the police” 😂
If the R/T had aftermarket headers and exhaust with an cold air intake, it can bring this car to life.
I agree
And cam
Might as well get long tube headers too
ABSOLUTELY BANGIN
You are so wrong that 5.7 engine is capable of handling alot more power it can take more boost than the scat pack engine or hellcat
What is infamous about it?
You didn't mention in your pick of the best car what was the model of the Cadillac? What model is it? I did think you did a very good review.
Thank you very much Mike, and thank you for watching so far into the video. The vehicle I mentioned in the video is the 2022 Cadillac CT-4 V.

very informative!
Do all 2022 chargers have the xenon lights? I was under the impression they have yellow halogens
I believe they’re HID Xenon lights, I could very well be incorrect though, haven’t been able to find a source which says different
@@OversteerAutoReviews ahh okay, thank you, great video as well!
You’d think they would’ve cleaned up the engine bay.
xenon lights are extra; they come with the plus group
I just want an RT Charger with the Harman Kardon sound system 😂
It’s a lot of them out there, I found one ‘22 Charger R/T in a smoke show with only 6k miles but it got sold quick😂
Maybe do a quick damp rag wipe down of the engine cover before showing it in the video. Never get a second chance for a first impression.
Valid suggestion, I’ll definitely start doing that. Thank you
Just uploaded some clips of my 2022 RT 💪
Very nice 👍
Why is this engine infamous?

@@OversteerAutoReviews so it means that is famous. Same as transmission in this car is famous rather than infamous
4” in. exhaust tip
Don't you think it would have been a good idea to have the car washed prior to filming
I wanted to, but since it was a Sunday the dealership’s car wash had been closed and I didn’t want to take an unsold car to a car wash, with respect to the future buyer
Красота хочу такую же👍👍👍👍👍
Just like every other reviewer, makes no mention about the sound system. Like, fuck. What? People just aren't listening to music in their cars anymore?
I used to do it, but the sound quality doesn’t go through the microphone and reflect the true quality of the speakers. Common sense mate.
You still can review the sound system without us hearing it, mate

This dudes trying to be a run of the mill car journalist so bad. Nothing interesting or unique about this at all.
