The Dodge Challenger lineup is extensive; ranging from a base V6, all the way to the 840hp "Demon". This 392 Scat Pack slots somewhere in the middle, battling the Mustang GT and Camaro SS.
This is an underrated driver's car.. It has the 'Holy Trinity' for car folks (Manual, V8, RWD).. Double-wishbone all the way around.. Heel-toe is fairly easy.. you can steer the car with the throttle.. and it sounds fucking amazing
I owned a 1970 Challenger 440 six pack with a four speed manual pistol grip back in the late 1970's, a kick ass machine. I think I am going to pull the trigger before I retire and buy a 2019 scat pack. I love your vid.
If you can't decide, I've seen some challengers with the 5.7 hemi and manual going for around 10k . I drive a 4cyl manual and am already having traction issues , I'm sure a 5.7 would be plenty of fun to drive.
This is the best Challenger video on the internet. I checked a Scat Pack 392 out yesterday. What a car! The factory exhaust music is amazing. I have the green light to buy one in about 6-8 months. I am leaning toward the T/A package in B5 blue.
Thank you! Glad you liked it. And that will be a helluva car, as I’m sure you already know. I’ll have to drive a T/A at some point to compare the way they drive.
awww man you my friend have to make more dodge challenger povs seeing you shifting those gears are so satisfying and hearing that exhaust is fucking amazing
Excellent POV, and review on the other video Buzzy! I agree 100% with your review on this badass muscle car. I own the 2021 Challenger Scat with the ZF 8 speed Automatic, Dynamics Package, Narrow Body, etc, and it is intoxicating 😊.
FINALLY. A video where someone actually downshifts a manual 392 Scat Pack. Everybody else in other videos seem too inexperienced to downshift. Or they drive automatics.
Oh my gosh!! I love my sound, but boy this 392 is amazuuuung!!!! Of course, the gear ratio is longer than an R/T also, which makes it even more appealing. I’m diligently working on getting a scatpack soon. Great vid bro. Love it.
I was thinking about getting one of these to replace my 2011 Mustang GT. I drove an automatic version and was so let down. It was fast sure, but it was missing something. To me it felt like I was driving a fast Dodge Ram. Very comfortable, smooth engine with smooth shifts. It didn't feel as raw as my Mustang does. I'm hoping next summer to drive a manual version and see how that is. I drove a 2017 Camaro SS and (again just personal opinion) it felt like it was lacking something. It was a manual. Its like they where trying to build a better Mustang. The Challenger on the other hand felt like it was its own thing. They aren't building a better Mustang they are building a Challenger. Watching you drive the Manual version is making me want to go test drive one. Hopefully they will let me test drive a manual.
the 392 just sounds so GOOOOOOOOD.....and I think it's the best combo for that car. I miss my 2012 SRT....hopefully 2020(Christmas 2019 ) I will be able to order myself one. AND BASED ON YOUR DRIVING! IT LOOKS LIKE THEY FINALLY FIXED THE SHIFTER TOO!!!
I literally picked a 2022 widebody challenger shaker , with a 6 speed manual because of this video ! Iv always been a mustang guy and yes power to weight ratio is better on ford and Camaro , none of those cars look as good as a shaker challenger imo! You just scream merricaaa 🇺🇸 lol. Crazy I use to rewatch this video over and over imagining owing one and now I do and it’s as good as I imagined.
Love seeing your vids since you drive on the same roads I do. I'm over in Westchester section of Colchester and grew up driving that section of 149 by the river, rt9, etc. I always thought it would be cool to have a closed-course rally in the area with some of the dirt roads and twisty asphalt.
Great raw review of the car POV. Also, nice drone video of Goodspeed airport. What drones do you use in your videos? I used to live in the area and fly planes there. Keep up the good work. I subscribed and I don't do that often.
Nice vid. Like yer Driving Style. Much like mine. I have 2018 Challenger SRT Jet Black. I got nervous and backed off at 153 mph. It was still pullin hard. 😜
Dream car. I've got the GT because I live in Syracuse where the winters are usually murder. I regret not going for the v8, i don't care rwd is dangerous in snow
I don’t blame you for going with the GT in Syracuse but in the future I’d recommend trying out a RWD car on snow tires. You’d be surprised how well they do, I have a Coyote Mustang on snow tires in New England right now and it’s doing amazing.
A great advert for the virtues of the 392 manual. Did you have a really good audio setup to capture this? Or, have you removed the mid-mufflers? Or, changed the exhaust as that can't be the stock exhaust, surely? :)
GLOCK BOY Hey man, I’m sorry to say the review is on hold for the next few weeks. The car in this video actually had a major engine failure at 3,700 miles. The dealership is working with the owner and they may get him a new car or put a new engine in his. Likely a factory defect from what they’ve said so far. Knowing that, I’ll give you some impressions since you want an opinion. It is big. Very big, if you want something that feels nimble and spry this isn’t it. However, it’s surprisingly capable, and balanced for such a large car. Quite fast, wonderful transmission and stock exhaust note. Honestly, I’ll put it this way, if you just want a killer looking car that has pretty serious performance, and comfort, it’s best in class. It’s not going to beat the Mustang or Camaro around a track, but it could be more fun. The last true muscle car for sale today. As long as you aren’t expecting a sports car you will love it.
@@BuzzytheBlue I currently live in Central Wisconsin where all the roads are on a grid system with all 90 degree angles, and virtually no Curves in the roads at all. This sounds like it might be the better choice over the Mustang or Camaro, seems like it's a bit faster than both of those two in a straight line.
GLOCK BOY They’re all very similar in a straight line. So, to me, I’d be going with whichever one you like the look, feel, and interior of the most. I think it has the most character of the three honestly and an extremely comfortable interior. Honestly you can’t go wrong with any of the three, I would say you should drive each before deciding.
Depends how much you’re looking to spend and whether you’re going new or used. This 392 was bought brand new and loaaaaaded up over $50,000. At that price it’s used Hellcat all day for me. But, a lightly used 392 Scat for say, $30k, that makes a lot of sense.
Really depends on how you use it/where it's stored. If it's your daily driver and it isn't garaged I'd wash it at least once a week or whenever it gets dirty.
Ahhh dude I’m not an amazing driver by any means. It’s 100% just practice and time behind the wheel. It’s a feel and muscle memory thing, once you can shift smoothly and quickly with consistency, start working on basic rev-matching on downshifts, then once you’re 100% comfortable with that, start working on heel-toe downshifts. It’s about treating every drive as a chance to practice.
@@BuzzytheBlue do u have Instagram man seriously I just want somone willing take time and help me with learn how drive Manuel I dont have no one actually wanna teach me. But do u have Instagram? I have automatic I just like to drive it manuel do u have any tips on when to shift and downshift pointers?
JaG Do you have a manual car to drive too? Most important thing is seat time man. My insta is “BuzzytheBlue” too, feel free to shoot me any questions you have. It’s all practice though.
@@BuzzytheBlue I just message u on instragram no its automatic but u can shift it over to Manuel I drive the manuel more then automanic so I was wondering if u can make me a video on shift up points and shift down i know it practices just hoping see video and after seen u drive that car I wanna learn from u Wow i hate to see a camero or mustang step to u lol.
Very easy. Bring someone along that knows it well and is a good teacher and you’ll be able to get around perfectly in like an hour or two. After that it takes maybe a week or two to get 100% comfortable.
Yeah I really like the feel and strength of the Tremec 6 speed in this car but I’m not a huge fan of the gearing. Even shifting at/near redline it seems to fall out of the powerband a bit. Versus the MT-82 in my GT (which is worse in every way but this lol) is really close ratio, only dropping about 1500rpm or so between shifts.
@@BuzzytheBlue which is weird because the hellcat going 3rd to 4th it does stay in the powerband. Now is that because it has roughly 300hp more? Is it geared different in the cat? Or is it that .3 of liter difference mean the 6.2 can spin slightly faster so that it stays on the power...
@@gonenotforgotten6089 Oh you definitely wouldn't want to short shift this if you're trying to go as fast as possible. The revs drop so much between gears that it almost falls OUT of the powerband, short shifting would only make this worse unfortunately. I think I just wish it was closer ratios. No big deal for 99% of people though.
1:14 well that escalated quickly XD
Jesús Rodríguez Risky, accelerating while turning!
It's like you think you're going 60 mph until you look at the speedometer and it says 100 mph... an angel to some, demons to others....
The best Challenger video I have seen thus far.
This comment still holds true 🤣
Agreed. No talking bullshit. Just driving!
It's good to see somebody else besides me driving a stick shift
About half of these are sold with the manual.
Grabbing gears and bringing tears
@@kentpayne3947shifting gears passing queers
I finally got one of these a couple months ago, and rowing through those gears, hearing that 392 rumble and roar is absolute zen for me.
I recently test drove one and fully agree with you!
@@petew1188did you get it?
This video is underrated. Manual and 392 Hemi, i love it
I just bought a 2017 dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack and I pick it up on Saturday. It is my DREAM CAR!!!!!
Those downshifts make my nether regions moist
That’s where the cooled seats come in, keeps everything fresh.
BuzzytheBlue 😂😂😂😂😂
Best Challenger 392 POV video out there. Love the sound of the manual going through the gears.
About time I saw a REAl driving video.
My 392 T/A should arrive in Anchorage in two weeks, on 6/20/19!
This is an underrated driver's car.. It has the 'Holy Trinity' for car folks (Manual, V8, RWD).. Double-wishbone all the way around.. Heel-toe is fairly easy.. you can steer the car with the throttle.. and it sounds fucking amazing
I watched all of 6:42 seconds of the video and loved every minute of it your car is beautiful and sounds amazing hopefully I get me one very soon here
That's how to row the gears! Love mine still!
the skip shift isn't getting in the way like the previous cars. my 2012 just locked me out of my 2nd under full acceleration.
@Gustave Viking well, it's still better than the previous Gen cars.
This is damn nearly the perfect hemi video! Great car, great sound, plenty acceleration
Ive been watching this vid to help tie me over until my manual Scat Pack arrives. Keep it up man.
I owned a 1970 Challenger 440 six pack with a four speed manual pistol grip back in the late 1970's, a kick ass machine. I think I am going to pull the trigger before I retire and buy a 2019 scat pack. I love your vid.
Have you bought one yet
I did because of this vid!!
Did you buy it
If you can't decide, I've seen some challengers with the 5.7 hemi and manual going for around 10k .
I drive a 4cyl manual and am already having traction issues , I'm sure a 5.7 would be plenty of fun to drive.

GLHS592 Glad you enjoyed it! If you want more content, I recently put up a longer, full review of this exact 392. 👍🏼
I found a white T/A about $8000 under MSRP. I put a deposit down on it and won't be able to go get it until Nov. 2.
I have a manual 2019 / 392 Scat, gray I just put about 1600 miles on it. My first Dodge ever and I love it.
awww man you my friend have to make more dodge challenger povs seeing you shifting those gears are so satisfying and hearing that exhaust is fucking amazing
Thank you for not playing generic TH-cam music
Wow...great video and great car. I just ordered a 2019 Scat Pack Shaker Tor Red and can't wait to get it later this month.
Did you get it?

Good God that sounds fantastic, I hope to trade my 14 R/T for a manual scat sometime soon
Amazing video!
One of the best videos I've seen on the challenger!!
Big girl handled those back roads nicely. I keep telling people that these cars are good for more than just drag racing.
i just got a 2016 one... couple weeks ago... when i tell you i love it and man this is a great video lol
Thank you, and congrats on your car!

Your video is making it hard for me to just get the Hellcat.
Depends how much you’re looking to spend and whether you’re going new or used. This 392 was bought brand new and loaaaaaded up over $50,000. At that price it’s used Hellcat all day for me. But, a lightly used 392 Scat for say, $30k, that makes a lot of sense.
Are you in virginia
Beautiful car. How often do you have to clean it? I love the black but don’t want to wash it every day lol
Really depends on how you use it/where it's stored. If it's your daily driver and it isn't garaged I'd wash it at least once a week or whenever it gets dirty.
Was braucht (M)ann mehr als nen Hemi 392 und nen Schalter😃 sowas ist Auto fahren in Reinkultur✊
Badass!
Great video! That sound is amazing, is that stock exhaust!?!
Yes it is!
That’s insane I was gonna ask the same question…. They did a hell of a job with the stock exhaust on these
Great vid #MoparOrNoCar
1:15 sound of a animal
Tires? I checked one out yesterday scat pack forsure and had 245s on the back o.o seems like tires rims and flares would have to be an immediate buy
This one is 245 front 275 rear. 245 in the rear seems very odd. What size wheels?
@@BuzzytheBlue 20's I could be mistaken I'm gonna have another look this week
Does this bad boy have a modified exhaust? I have a manual 392 as well but this sounds a little deeper.
I think that depends if you have the 5.7 or 6.4 this is a 6.4 I believe
When you down shift, do you do the whole heel n toe thing? Or does the car do every thing on it's own?
Yes I do, this Challenger doesn’t have auto rev match.

This car could almost get away with having a classic 4 speed mabey 5 speed, it sounds though like 4th gear is just outside of the powerband

It must just be the power difference as it seems the 392 and Hellcat 6MTs are geared pretty similarly.
