When I bought my challenger I actually had to find one without the sunroof but still had leather and paddle shifters. It was a bitch but I finally found one. I didn't want the extra weight at the top of the car. Call me picky I guess but I knew what I wanted and didn't make any exceptions
@@samueljackson856 consider yourself lucky about the sunroof bro. Besides the fact when the seals go bad they leak and you hear a annoying whistling sound above your head when the wind passes over the roof. Check out an article I found surfing the interwebs. www.motorious.com/articles/news/thieves-steal-dodge-challenger-scat-pack-widebody-using-sunroof/amp/
I went and got a RT shaker black out edition, extremely happy at 51.it sounds great and fast old school feel. People compliment me everywhere, even helical owners, I love the shaker hood.
Clint Smith no. The sound of some good music with the windows down, smell of the ocean, driving down pacific coast highway in the evening with the exhaust blending in the background using the paddle shifters is what I need.
At 70 I was still considering buying one. Why? Because I won't live long enough to pay it off! ( So I may just do it and screw the finance company after they've been screwing me for 50 years)! Great vid, Thank you! ( My brother was an air traffic controller in the Air force, 1968 Nam).
OCMotivator Do it! Life goes very very very ( I can’t say it enough) Very FAST! Whatever’s left, leave to the kids and grandkids. But enjoy your life while you can! Believe me 👍🙏
I am a 70 year old gal who grew up on corvettes all my life. Now divorced I have a new Hellcat and absolutely love it. Girls don’t let it get you down, enjoy the speed and get a Hellcat !!!! Definitely put personal tags on it as this is my Hellcat !!!!!
14:33 "i cant afford it, ill get what i can get" WoW! If someone says that they cant afford a stereo in their car while buying a $80-100k, they really really suck with money
At 58 years old & I bought a 2022 Challenger Hellcat Red Eye with 5000 miles on it and it still smells brand new. It is immaculate and can’t believe the power. It might be the only car I will probably never get full throttle. Thank you for all your advice on buying a car and couldn’t believe the crooked dealerships & salesman in South Florida. Only 2 dealers were honest & I bought it through a Ford dealer.
I can sympathize with the first story. I went looking for a lot less car - I just wanted a 20 R/T 50th anniversary - but fell in love with this on the showroom floor. No regrets, though. I don't ever plan on selling it so the investment was worth it.
That message in the beginning hit me hard just got out the army in May and starting college next week, a lot of my family was shocked because I chose something in the medical field and I had trouble in school cause I couldn’t focus so my grades wasn’t the best. Now it’s my time to prove to myself that I can do this and have a good career.
I was raised on Mopar. As a child, I even saw Richard Petty win a NASCAR race in a Plymouth Superbird. Why is it that the Dodge lineup is dominated by names like Demon, Hellcat, Helliphant? Even a TV advertisement celebrates a Dodge enthusiast with the devil riding on his shoulder. The world is turned on its head. I answer to the highest power and I'll car shop elsewhere.
i used to have just a basic ass v6 challenger and still had so many people tell me they loved it. the body is just beautiful. clean, solid, and nothing overtly pretentious. just lean and mean how a muscle car should be
Every thing you talked about is what I'm wanting in my redeye, plus it's got to have the performance spoiler and leather seats. This is a car that has to be exactly the way I want it for that kind of coin..
You need to tint that front windshield, lol. I have 5% all around on my scat, and 20% on the windshield. Visibility won’t be a problem. Makes the car look so much better and aggressive.
20 is way too dark for a windshield.... I went with 50 and its just right, I sometimes think I should have gone lighter at 60 but it works great in the day. Like having built in sunglasses.
It's crazy how the universe works. Last week my 5 year old daughter asked me to why don't I have my Hellcat charger yet and I told her, " I don't know baby." She said , "Don't you want it?" I said, "Yes. I do want it." She replies, "Then get it." It was like something went off inside me. I just finishing watching Art Williams - "Just do it" speech. And I'm definitely about to Just do it! Thank you for the motivation!!!
It’s funny i just started following your page because I’m about to get a hellcat red widebody. I’m also in Primerica, so this justdoit speech is right up my ally. Because Art Williams is the founder of our company
Buddy love the motivating speech, I was the same in school.... until I tasted flying .... similar story , school doesn’t measure anything other than interest....
Just picked up a new 2020 Hellcat Redeye and have the exact same regrets as you. I don’t have the upgraded sound system, red seatbelts or the sunroom, didn’t think it was a big deal until I drove the car a few days later. Like you, I woke up one day, blacked out , caught a flight to Michigan, purchased a brand new Redeye that I never saw or drove before and drove it back to Chicago. Love the car, wish it had a better sound system and sunroof at least.
I had the same blackout experience. Plumbcrazy shaker 392. My very first treat yourself car at 42 yrs of age. Nice video! I loved hearing about what was going through your mind.
I ordered a AWD GT in Hellraisen with most options including the HK sound system. I live in Florida - roads get really wet and slick this time of year. So the AWD with the V6 was more important than a V8 engine.
I achieve buying a Scat Pack brand new Looking forward to my Redeye Hellcat Charger next year. It's been on my mind and my spirit has the will to make it happen. I been in a different vibration where I going to achieve and remain positive no matter the obstacles. God bless you sir thanks for the motivation.
The power of manifestation! I just bought new widebody 2020 scat pack love it! I will have a hellcat redeye by end of 2021! You have the right attitude!
I ordered my 2020 Redeye without a sunroof and I don't regret it at all. My 2011 has a sunroof and I've used it twice, ever, and I lose headroom (with my hair styled I can feel it dragging on the headliner because of that extra lost space.) Since I plan on keeping this car until it dies, no need to buy a feature that the next person may want but that I don't. Definitely ordered the red seatbelts and the premium audio, though.
When I was much younger, I wanted my car is pretty much stripped, now, as I’ve gotten much older, I wanna call my car is pretty much loaded. So when I bought, my hellcat had pretty much every conceivable option that includes a sunroof, adaptive, cruise control, carbon, fiber, interior pieces, and the nicer wheels. And I’m pretty happy
I installed red seat belts in mine. $695 for the parts and $225 for install at a good shop. I think that’s about the best you’ll be able to do. Installation is not terribly hard but for $225 it was worth it to have it done.
I got a indigo blue ‘21 red eye wide body. I ordered it. I got a black interior so I went with the black seat belts and no sun roof. I’m tall so I prefer having more head room. I did however order the upgraded stereo (Harmon Kardon) and glad I did. It rocks!! I live the looks of the original T/A challengers and the mopar T/A stripe, I had the stripes put on because it looked too plain on the side and I had the portion in front of the hood (I got the black hood and hood pin kit) wrapped in black matching the width of the hood. I did it cause it looks for complete and, the cables for the hood pins wanted to rub on the paint. Problem solved and it looks much cooler. I love the car. It’s fun, handles great, drives great and the mileage isn’t actually bad. 22-23 on the highway at 75. Very comfortable ride.
I put subs in mine, about a grand. There is a active eq mic on the passenger side that you need to modify otherwise the stereo will cut the bass out. The shop will literally cut one of the wires. Make sure to test your hands free calling, the guy at car toys who did mine cut the wrong wire the first time and I had to bring it back.
I have a 2019 Hellcat Redeye that I absolutely LOVE IT!!! Harmon Cardin stereo in a Challenger is not worth the money. I have the Alpine and it sounds great. Wouldn’t change it for anything. Why would you be concerned with a SUN ROOF in a race car. One of the best all around 1/4 mile cars and a serious contender on the Track. You are concerned with a Sun Roof??? You want a forehead tan while you are doing a 10.5 second quarter mile. Anyway, the reason I responded to the post is to say that the Redeye is one of the best cars ever built. And here in 2024, they are not building them anymore. So if you have a Challenger Redeye, keep it under a cover in your garage and take it to car shows on the weekend. Enjoy it and keep it well maintained. And maybe one day give it to your kids or grand kids!
Love the channel. I ordered my Hell Cat on 7/22 and it was being built 8/17 and will be shipped 8/25. Can’t wait - ordered the red seat belts, and the Harmon Kardon but I passed on the sun roof. I always seem to have one on my cars but never use them so I passed. It was also about the look. I ordered Go Mango with the Satin Black hood. I love the old school muscle car look and didn’t want the black sunroof breaking up the color when I already have the black hood.
Patience grasshopper. I bought a 2019 TrackHawk and got exactly the build I desired by ordering it from FCA direct. It took 29 days from order until delivery and since I ordered it I got a better deal than buying what they had on the lot. All of the three things you dropped the ball on I ordered in my build as well as many other options. After the model year was over FCA released the yearly build data and it turns out of the 1423 models they built in 2019 69 of them were in my color and of those 69 only 1 was optioned as mine was. MSRP 104k our the door at 92k with every available option for the TH except heated engine block. Patience Grasshopper always wins in the end. Use your life lesson to learn and next time take the slow road and get what you want. I also hope if you did these upgrades after the fact that the car was not leased and it was paid for fully beforehand because that cash you dropped after the fact will never be recoverable.
I like the unexpected beginning especially when im just searchin up challengers. Im 18 n have no clue what i want to do in life. But i need to make a difference
You make the point that a lot of people miss or don't know (even though you glaze over it pretty quickly), particularly buying cars at this price point and above for the first time - and that is ordering the car is usually the best option. It isn't a necessity to own an 80K+ car, and you are buying it as a luxury item, and unless your main concern is solely the price of the car (in which case, shopping around for dealer inventory that is long in the tooth or optioned such that it isn't as expensive can be more beneficial), selecting exactly the options you want gives you the best long term outcome overall. It forces you to do more consideration, more research, and it slows the process down from an impulse buy. Note that, though not impossible, it is much harder to get as good as a deal on an ordered car then inventory already on the lot. My suggestion would be to spec out a car, take that spec into a dealer, discuss it with them, have them spec the car as if you are ordering it, search their inventory and nearby inventory, and if there are no hits - just order the car. I think in your case you did a lot of this, but once you changed your mind you forgot to rinse and repeat those steps for the redeye. At least most the options you missed are "fixable" (not all options are able to be fitted after purchase - like a sunroof, which I hope you aren't going to try to install aftermarket), even though it might cost a bit more. I think you have the right attitude though - concentrate on the positives and don't get caught up too much on the negatives!
So I have had my hellcat for about 16 months. 2021 redeye with everything except the sunroof and the front hood clips. I tinted the windows and I put PPF on the front third of the car including the mirrors and then I did a 10 year ceramic coat on the entire car. It is a phenomenal vehicle! I intentionally did not order the sunroof, because muscle cars do not have sunroofs. That was my intentional decision, and I do not regret it whatsoever.
I'm totally the other side of the coin if my Challenger Scatpack had red seats and or red seat belts in it , I wouldn't have it. By the way I did order mine. Who cares about the radio however I did order the navigation radio. As far as a red eye goes you can't get one with a manual so that is out for me and I desided to stay away from a blower anyway . By the way the factory shifter is crap I changed mine out to a Barton and put a pigtail in it to do away with the second gear skip shift. I like black but I've had a black car, don't want another. Don't want a hole in the roof I've had one of those too. Everyone is different. Thinks for the video and thanks for taking the time to make it.
Another great video! That's exactly what I am going through as well, I have purchased red seat belts from a used hellcat, and jl audio equipment front speakers and subs, cause just sounds crappy, so totally agreed with OCmotivator
so, what was the point of the Redeye vs the 'regular' Hellcat? You don't go to the track, you set up your custom mode to "500 HP", you don't any functional mods ... I think I got more views on my channel about the mods I did to my 6.4L Scatpack: air intake, custom PCM, diablo tuner, custom exhaust, BBK long tube headers, BBK 85 mm throttle body, bigger tires, upgraded brakes etc. etc.
We are in the muscle car era we never thought would be. Im getting a redeye as well and can understand you were beyond excited. Thanks for the video. by the way im getting cloth seats.....
I loved my cloth seats in my Scat Pack. They weren’t freezing cold in the winter and didn’t burn my legs when I wear shorts in the summer like the black leather does. Lol.
I went to the dealer in Mongomeryville Pa and ordered it in July 2019 and got it in late Dec 2019,,,got the rear end I wanted and stereo and Red Leather with Black seat Belts ( they would not sell red seat belts with a red leather combo)...Probably the most fun I've ever had in a Car(well maybe not the best fun) But you know what Im saying..the exterior is White with the red leather and I love it!!
All three of those issues wouldn’t have mattered to me, I don’t like sunroofs, and I’d be constantly listening g to the exhaust note... that being said, it was a black 2020 Durango SRT that got me... only I have nearly everything offered except the DVD player and screens.
If you add up the money it would take to get the car exactly like you want, wouldn't it make more sense to use that cash to find a car with the specific options you desire?
I blacked out when I traded in my RT for a scat after 4 months of ownership... looking back now I totally regret it financially. Very impulsive decision that wasn’t rational at all from my financial standpoint. While yes I can afford the car comfortably... I’m probably going to trade it in within the next year to get a cheaper car when I go to college. Long story short I should’ve just kept my RT through college that was cheaper in every aspect. The power difference from RT to scat isn’t even that crazy anyways. Noticeable? Definitely, but mind blowing? No. Save your money for a hellcat or just buy the scat first. Dodge knows what they’re doing and they get a lot of people like this lol. Live and learn.
I have a 2019 scat pack but was too late in the year to order mine. How much more did you pay? How long was the wait between order, payment delivery? Thnx. ps LOVE my Scat Pack!
I ordered my scatpack challenger 5 weeks ago. I'm told it has arrived at the local port and is being processed, and she should be at the dealership by Monday at latest, which would be exactly 6 weeks.
I had my wide body Scat Pack built with exactly everything I wanted. And all black, of course. Any dealer can place the order for you. The only thing I did extra was tint all the windows.
Aloha buddy, I have to chuckle every time I watch you videos, because I really never even thought of buying a Hellcat Challenger widebody redeye. I was just looking at a Charger Scatpack, but now I'm really sold on getting the Challenger Hellcat widebody redeye. I'm even thinking of waiting for the new 2020 or 2021 Challenger Hellcat widebody redeye Super Stock. I watched and read that the depreciation of the car happens immediately so I'm really watching that. However, if I wait for next year I can get the 2020 model at a slightly lower price point. I want to thank you for all your content, because its great to see and I'm really paying attention. I'm a business professional so I see the differences between you and others. Thanks buddy.
Thanks! And keep in mind, unless you’re planning on going to the track a lot, the regular Redeye is a much better car with better front brakes and higher top speed. 👍
@@ocmotivator That's right. I know that the tires are made for track use. I really like your set up. The only thing I would do different is probably the racing stripes on the car the carbon flash color. that's it. Other than that I would do the Harmon Kardon stereo and the racing stripes. Car is a beast though, I must say. PS: MY fiance' is like "there's NO backseat room for the baby seat!! I laughed and bought her a Cade ATS...shhh...!
jus chilln ya I want stripes too. Had to ceramic coat it first but may go do stripes soon. And believe it or not the backseat is pretty big. The only pain in the rear is getting the baby in and out with no rear door. I lived that dream with my coupe Mbz years ago.
@@ocmotivator Haha! The finance' already sees me rewatching your videos & she's like "car porn" again huh? I start laughing because I told her next year next year, its my year 2021! I already drove the 2019 Challenger Hellcat 707hp and I was like..that's it. I'm getting this car, she's like here we go again! Anyways, your the man and I'll check your motivation channel out. I work as operations manager for a financial service firm here in Honolulu, but I know I probably can learn new strategies from someone else.
I just bought one, very similar to you. I didnt even see the car, much less sit it in. I just wanted to get it. Its late 2022, and they dont make them for 2023...Luckily the only option that wasnt my preference was the sunroof. It has one, I didnt want one. Everything else, is spot on. Its a fully optioned (I mean all the packages), and the color while not Octane Red, is my second pick, Go Mango. I am lucky to have found a Super Stock at MSRP.
I ordered a 2021 Charger Redeye Widebody back in October and finally got it this may. I can live without red seatbelts (and didn't order them); I can damn sure live without the $2000 sunroof (and didn't order it) but I had to have the Harmon Kardon audio. It's not the ultimate sound system but it's good and worth the extra money. But to each his own. I had a 2016 Hellcat Charger before this one; they're similar but two things stand out on the 2021 - the leather seats aren't as comfortable as the microfiber seats in the '16 and the engine has an odd and annoying thumping sound at idle that the '16 didn't have. Performance isn't affected and speaking of, below 5000rpm you won't notice any difference between the '16's 707 and the 21's 797. Above 5000, you will, noticeably so. Traction out of the gate is, of course, still a farce even with the widebody's 305s. Overall I'm quite satisfied with my second Fat Cat.
Great advice!!! Just got myself a 2020 392 scat pack and I love it. Like your videos keep up the good work. Can I ask were did u get the red rings around your lights from?
I did that, I bought a brand new 2015 Dart GT (had 11 miles on the odometer) drove it for 2 years and realized why did I buy a car that can't get out of it's own way. So I upgraded to a base model 2017 Challenger (more power, but definitely a base model, probably the same stereo you have, no sunroof, just a base model) took a bath on the trade in value on that dart. So 2 years later (July 2019) the local dodge dealer had just taken in a 2018 Challenger R/T TA+ with 8800 miles on it (the next step up would be a Scat Pack), it has everything, blind spot detector, back up camera, all the safety features, the Harmon Kardon stereo (and it is just as awesome as you think it is), sunroof. It is absolutely decked out, anyway, I raided my retirement fund to put some money down (retirement is for losers anyway) which I am sure didn't actually help me with payments. However, this was 3 days before the Dodge power dollars deal came out and I am sure I would have been able to get into a nice ScatPack if I had waited and done some comparison shopping. Meh, it is what it is, I love my car, it has more horsepower than any car I have ever owned and is setup just the way I like it. Someday I will get a Redeye, someday. Enjoy your car like I enjoy mine, of course mine is also a daily driver so I might be having just a little bit more fun than you.
Im so happy i found this video. Me and my sugar momma LOL just bought 2 hellcats. a 2020 widebody white charger hellcat and a 2020 widebody redeye. Redeye for her charger for me. We have looked for 3 weeks and found both on the same lot along with a Daytona hellcat and even a demon in Tampa. Had I not been super specific on exactly what I wanted with all the bells and whistles on both cars i would be kicking myself. The sunroof on both, the Harmon karden (think that's how you spell it lol) in both. I can't lie i blacked out when I saw the white charger hellcat I wanted but im glad my sugar momma was there to remember exactly what specs I wanted and I was there to remeber what specs she wanted. Driving them back up to northwest Florida is gonna be a hell of a 5 hour trip home but 1500hp in 2 lanes is gonna be a damn good sound. Subed good video man 👍🏾
Just picked up my brand new 2020 challenger scat pack this week. Traded in my SXT that i got new in january. I had got such a good price back then that i had almost 10k of equity for my trade in! Boom 💥 o man the difference so glad i upgraded

OCMotivator I went around for days before I bought my green machine, it was just so crazy! I though I was crazy for getting my orange go mango charger before but lime green?? Every time I drove by the dealership and looked at it I just had to have it!! I would love to do a vid with you 👍 I’m in Gilroy, N. CA
About the red seat belts - Seatbelt Planet makes custom ones. You could have red with black stripes if you want. Just let them know and they can do it. Currently getting blue belts with black trim on the edges for mine.
Nice car!! As far as you doing your car audio yourself,to avoid a fire just make sure you have a fuse box on the power line. !! And in the intro of the video, is the exhaust factory or modded??? It sounds awesome!!
So I have experienced this, I had an 09 rt and traded it in for a 15 srt. Well I got to go to a high performance race school and got to drive a hellcat on a race track and boom hooked. So 10 months later traded my brand new srt for a brand new 16 hellcat...poor poor financial decision because of the depreciation.
I did the same exact thing. lol. Check out my old videos. You'll see my RT, then Scat Pack, then Hellcat Redeye. I've left a long trail of burnt cash in my wake the last few years. lol. But it's been a fun ride still. : )
@@ocmotivator haha awesome, I'm a "pull the trigger" kind of guy so when I want something you can't change my mind. I have this problem with motorcycles as well!
I regretfully sold my black 2019 redeye that had everything I wanted which is showing in my profile pic. It had the harman stereo, 3.09 rear axle, sunroof, and demonic red interior. Three months after I sold it, I decided that I can’t do it and I’m buying another redeye. I ended up buying 2020 triple nickel redeye has everything the black one had with the exception for the 3.09 axle which is said I will not buy the car unless it has the 3.09 axle. I’m looking to buy it now. From the factory it cost 1095$, buy it from the dealership installed cost 2600$. So, yeah you get caught up in the excitement and forgot some details..

You need to tint that front windshield, lol. I have 5% all around on my scat, and 20% on the windshield. Visibility won’t be a problem. Makes the car look so much better and aggressive.
Dalvin Richards: Hiding out ?
HemiOcentric huh?
30% on my windshield was pretty dark
20 is way too dark for a windshield.... I went with 50 and its just right, I sometimes think I should have gone lighter at 60 but it works great in the day. Like having built in sunglasses.
I have 5% and can't see shit at night when I turn corners. Lol
One day I will prob change it. It looks great from the outside tho.
My favorite, and next Challenger... Love this beast!
It's crazy how the universe works. Last week my 5 year old daughter asked me to why don't I have my Hellcat charger yet and I told her, " I don't know baby." She said , "Don't you want it?" I said, "Yes. I do want it." She replies, "Then get it." It was like something went off inside me. I just finishing watching Art Williams - "Just do it" speech. And I'm definitely about to Just do it! Thank you for the motivation!!!
Awesome!!! You’ll be glad you did! 👍
You can actually have a factory sunroof installed.
It’s funny i just started following your page because I’m about to get a hellcat red widebody. I’m also in Primerica, so this justdoit speech is right up my ally. Because Art Williams is the founder of our company
Buddy love the motivating speech, I was the same in school.... until I tasted flying .... similar story , school doesn’t measure anything other than interest....
I put this on because I needed help falling asleep. Thanks man! Slept great!
Just picked up a new 2020 Hellcat Redeye and have the exact same regrets as you. I don’t have the upgraded sound system, red seatbelts or the sunroom, didn’t think it was a big deal until I drove the car a few days later. Like you, I woke up one day, blacked out , caught a flight to Michigan, purchased a brand new Redeye that I never saw or drove before and drove it back to Chicago. Love the car, wish it had a better sound system and sunroof at least.
Those stereo guys lying. Go to a shop ran by a hispanic dude and they'll do professional work with quality equipment for around $600
I got two JBL 1000w each w/box and a Boss 1200w amp and installed for $250 here in LA
In Nc it’s Sundown audio ftw
Not everywhere but as someone who lives in south LA I get you lol
I had the same blackout experience. Plumbcrazy shaker 392. My very first treat yourself car at 42 yrs of age.
Nice video! I loved hearing about what was going through your mind.
Thanks brother I've been there don't feel too bad there's others
I ordered a AWD GT in Hellraisen with most options including the HK sound system. I live in Florida - roads get really wet and slick this time of year. So the AWD with the V6 was more important than a V8 engine.
Nice man. I just sold mine for a 392
@@KaskoXeroVlogs Thanks. You like it so far???
On my 50th birthday, I bought a 20 Challenger scatpack shaker 50th anniversary gold rush. I love it.
I achieve buying a Scat Pack brand new
Looking forward to my Redeye Hellcat Charger next year. It's been on my mind and my spirit has the will to make it happen. I been in a different vibration where I going to achieve and remain positive no matter the obstacles. God bless you sir thanks for the motivation.
The power of manifestation! I just bought new widebody 2020 scat pack love it! I will have a hellcat redeye by end of 2021! You have the right attitude!
I ordered my 2020 Redeye without a sunroof and I don't regret it at all. My 2011 has a sunroof and I've used it twice, ever, and I lose headroom (with my hair styled I can feel it dragging on the headliner because of that extra lost space.) Since I plan on keeping this car until it dies, no need to buy a feature that the next person may want but that I don't. Definitely ordered the red seatbelts and the premium audio, though.
😂 old school stereo just laughed so hard, because I was listening you on my headphone I could actually hear what you did in person. 😂
Thanks!
Wow! Thanks so much for the support! 👍👍🙏
When I was much younger, I wanted my car is pretty much stripped, now, as I’ve gotten much older, I wanna call my car is pretty much loaded. So when I bought, my hellcat had pretty much every conceivable option that includes a sunroof, adaptive, cruise control, carbon, fiber, interior pieces, and the nicer wheels. And I’m pretty happy
I installed red seat belts in mine. $695 for the parts and $225 for install at a good shop. I think that’s about the best you’ll be able to do. Installation is not terribly hard but for $225 it was worth it to have it done.
Great content as always. Love the music in the background " Beg, Borrow or Steal". Never regret enjoying life!
Jus bought my Scat Pack widebody as a gift for making Tech Sgt. Hey u only live once !!
Congrats on TSGT and the Scat Pack! 👍👍
Congrats, perfect promotion present!
I got a indigo blue ‘21 red eye wide body. I ordered it. I got a black interior so I went with the black seat belts and no sun roof. I’m tall so I prefer having more head room. I did however order the upgraded stereo (Harmon Kardon) and glad I did. It rocks!! I live the looks of the original T/A challengers and the mopar T/A stripe, I had the stripes put on because it looked too plain on the side and I had the portion in front of the hood (I got the black hood and hood pin kit) wrapped in black matching the width of the hood. I did it cause it looks for complete and, the cables for the hood pins wanted to rub on the paint. Problem solved and it looks much cooler. I love the car. It’s fun, handles great, drives great and the mileage isn’t actually bad. 22-23 on the highway at 75. Very comfortable ride.
10:43 NEVER do this with ANY major purchase ! Touch, feel, try.....before you buy
Now you tell me.
@@ocmotivator lol!! Its STILL one HELLUVA car.....and you're making it even better with the custom add-ons
I put subs in mine, about a grand. There is a active eq mic on the passenger side that you need to modify otherwise the stereo will cut the bass out. The shop will literally cut one of the wires. Make sure to test your hands free calling, the guy at car toys who did mine cut the wrong wire the first time and I had to bring it back.
I love the red seatbelts too. Couldn’t find a better deal than you found :(
I have a 2019 Hellcat Redeye that I absolutely LOVE IT!!! Harmon Cardin stereo in a Challenger is not worth the money.
I have the Alpine and it sounds great. Wouldn’t change it for anything.
Why would you be concerned with a SUN ROOF in a race car. One of the best all around 1/4 mile cars and a serious contender on the Track. You are concerned with a Sun Roof??? You want a forehead tan while you are doing a 10.5 second quarter mile.
Anyway, the reason I responded to the post is to say that the Redeye is one of the best cars ever built. And here in 2024, they are not building them anymore.
So if you have a Challenger Redeye, keep it under a cover in your garage and take it to car shows on the weekend. Enjoy it and keep it well maintained. And maybe one day give it to your kids or grand kids!
Love the channel. I ordered my Hell Cat on 7/22 and it was being built 8/17 and will be shipped 8/25. Can’t wait - ordered the red seat belts, and the Harmon Kardon but I passed on the sun roof. I always seem to have one on my cars but never use them so I passed. It was also about the look. I ordered Go Mango with the Satin Black hood. I love the old school muscle car look and didn’t want the black sunroof breaking up the color when I already have the black hood.
Congrats I’m looking for me a Hellcat too I hope u have fun
Patience grasshopper. I bought a 2019 TrackHawk and got exactly the build I desired by ordering it from FCA direct. It took 29 days from order until delivery and since I ordered it I got a better deal than buying what they had on the lot. All of the three things you dropped the ball on I ordered in my build as well as many other options. After the model year was over FCA released the yearly build data and it turns out of the 1423 models they built in 2019 69 of them were in my color and of those 69 only 1 was optioned as mine was. MSRP 104k our the door at 92k with every available option for the TH except heated engine block. Patience Grasshopper always wins in the end. Use your life lesson to learn and next time take the slow road and get what you want. I also hope if you did these upgrades after the fact that the car was not leased and it was paid for fully beforehand because that cash you dropped after the fact will never be recoverable.
I subscribed because I love your honesty.
Truly underrated channel
This is awesome, thanks for sharing that story bro!!
I like the unexpected beginning especially when im just searchin up challengers. Im 18 n have no clue what i want to do in life. But i need to make a difference
You make the point that a lot of people miss or don't know (even though you glaze over it pretty quickly), particularly buying cars at this price point and above for the first time - and that is ordering the car is usually the best option. It isn't a necessity to own an 80K+ car, and you are buying it as a luxury item, and unless your main concern is solely the price of the car (in which case, shopping around for dealer inventory that is long in the tooth or optioned such that it isn't as expensive can be more beneficial), selecting exactly the options you want gives you the best long term outcome overall. It forces you to do more consideration, more research, and it slows the process down from an impulse buy. Note that, though not impossible, it is much harder to get as good as a deal on an ordered car then inventory already on the lot.
My suggestion would be to spec out a car, take that spec into a dealer, discuss it with them, have them spec the car as if you are ordering it, search their inventory and nearby inventory, and if there are no hits - just order the car.
I think in your case you did a lot of this, but once you changed your mind you forgot to rinse and repeat those steps for the redeye. At least most the options you missed are "fixable" (not all options are able to be fitted after purchase - like a sunroof, which I hope you aren't going to try to install aftermarket), even though it might cost a bit more. I think you have the right attitude though - concentrate on the positives and don't get caught up too much on the negatives!
I blacked out when buying my RT as well wish it came with more things then it did
@First Last My Rt is enough for me it already cost me 200 to insure so I can't imagine a scat pack
GREAT CONTENT BRO!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m sharing this video like CRAZY!!!!
So I have had my hellcat for about 16 months. 2021 redeye with everything except the sunroof and the front hood clips. I tinted the windows and I put PPF on the front third of the car including the mirrors and then I did a 10 year ceramic coat on the entire car. It is a phenomenal vehicle! I intentionally did not order the sunroof, because muscle cars do not have sunroofs. That was my intentional decision, and I do not regret it whatsoever.
I just bought a hellcat I made sure it had the harmon speakers and the sunroof so I understand your pain. sheesh
I'm totally the other side of the coin if my Challenger Scatpack had red seats and or red seat belts in it , I wouldn't have it. By the way I did order mine. Who cares about the radio however I did order the navigation radio. As far as a red eye goes you can't get one with a manual so that is out for me and I desided to stay away from a blower anyway . By the way the factory shifter is crap I changed mine out to a Barton and put a pigtail in it to do away with the second gear skip shift. I like black but I've had a black car, don't want another. Don't want a hole in the roof I've had one of those too. Everyone is different. Thinks for the video and thanks for taking the time to make it.
Great video I must agree HEMI Muscle is one great dude ❗️
Another great video! That's exactly what I am going through as well, I have purchased red seat belts from a used hellcat, and jl audio equipment front speakers and subs, cause just sounds crappy, so totally agreed with OCmotivator
so, what was the point of the Redeye vs the 'regular' Hellcat? You don't go to the track, you set up your custom mode to "500 HP", you don't any functional mods ... I think I got more views on my channel about the mods I did to my 6.4L Scatpack: air intake, custom PCM, diablo tuner, custom exhaust, BBK long tube headers, BBK 85 mm throttle body, bigger tires, upgraded brakes etc. etc.
We are in the muscle car era we never thought would be. Im getting a redeye as well and can understand you were beyond excited. Thanks for the video. by the way im getting cloth seats.....
I loved my cloth seats in my Scat Pack. They weren’t freezing cold in the winter and didn’t burn my legs when I wear shorts in the summer like the black leather does. Lol.
I went to the dealer in Mongomeryville Pa and ordered it in July 2019 and got it in late Dec 2019,,,got the rear end I wanted and stereo and Red Leather with Black seat Belts ( they would not sell red seat belts with a red leather combo)...Probably the most fun I've ever had in a Car(well maybe not the best fun) But you know what Im saying..the exterior is White with the red leather and I love it!!
Awesome combo!!!
Man your honesty is hilarious
Agree 1000% on the audio... Never turned the radio on wanted to hear the exhaust note.
next mod should be a Bwoody intake on the hellcat redeye
All three of those issues wouldn’t have mattered to me, I don’t like sunroofs, and I’d be constantly listening g to the exhaust note... that being said, it was a black 2020 Durango SRT that got me... only I have nearly everything offered except the DVD player and screens.
If you add up the money it would take to get the car exactly like you want, wouldn't it make more sense to use that cash to find a car with the specific options you desire?
Yup. People with money 💰 sometimes don't have brains 🤣😂 is the moral of the video.
I got basic sound too. I just throw a partybox 100 in each back seat. Less than 600 spent..
I blacked out when I traded in my RT for a scat after 4 months of ownership... looking back now I totally regret it financially. Very impulsive decision that wasn’t rational at all from my financial standpoint. While yes I can afford the car comfortably... I’m probably going to trade it in within the next year to get a cheaper car when I go to college. Long story short I should’ve just kept my RT through college that was cheaper in every aspect. The power difference from RT to scat isn’t even that crazy anyways. Noticeable? Definitely, but mind blowing? No. Save your money for a hellcat or just buy the scat first. Dodge knows what they’re doing and they get a lot of people like this lol. Live and learn.
I'm looking at doing the same. What makes it more expensive to own
I can relate. This is why I now always order my cars. I got my ‘19 Challenger Scat Pack exactly as I wanted it.
I have a 2019 scat pack but was too late in the year to order mine. How much more did you pay? How long was the wait between order, payment delivery? Thnx. ps LOVE my Scat Pack!
I ordered my scatpack challenger 5 weeks ago. I'm told it has arrived at the local port and is being processed, and she should be at the dealership by Monday at latest, which would be exactly 6 weeks.
I had my wide body Scat Pack built with exactly everything I wanted. And all black, of course. Any dealer can place the order for you. The only thing I did extra was tint all the windows.
P.s. Don't forget to do the mid muffler delete.
Aloha buddy,
I have to chuckle every time I watch you videos, because I really never even thought of buying a Hellcat Challenger widebody redeye. I was just looking at a Charger Scatpack, but now I'm really sold on getting the Challenger Hellcat widebody redeye. I'm even thinking of waiting for the new 2020 or 2021 Challenger Hellcat widebody redeye Super Stock. I watched and read that the depreciation of the car happens immediately so I'm really watching that. However, if I wait for next year I can get the 2020 model at a slightly lower price point. I want to thank you for all your content, because its great to see and I'm really paying attention. I'm a business professional so I see the differences between you and others. Thanks buddy.
Thanks! And keep in mind, unless you’re planning on going to the track a lot, the regular Redeye is a much better car with better front brakes and higher top speed. 👍
@@ocmotivator That's right. I know that the tires are made for track use. I really like your set up. The only thing I would do different is probably the racing stripes on the car the carbon flash color. that's it. Other than that I would do the Harmon Kardon stereo and the racing stripes. Car is a beast though, I must say. PS: MY fiance' is like "there's NO backseat room for the baby seat!! I laughed and bought her a Cade ATS...shhh...!
jus chilln ya I want stripes too. Had to ceramic coat it first but may go do stripes soon. And believe it or not the backseat is pretty big. The only pain in the rear is getting the baby in and out with no rear door. I lived that dream with my coupe Mbz years ago.
@@ocmotivator Haha! The finance' already sees me rewatching your videos & she's like "car porn" again huh? I start laughing because I told her next year next year, its my year 2021! I already drove the 2019 Challenger Hellcat 707hp and I was like..that's it. I'm getting this car, she's like here we go again! Anyways, your the man and I'll check your motivation channel out. I work as operations manager for a financial service firm here in Honolulu, but I know I probably can learn new strategies from someone else.
I just bought one, very similar to you. I didnt even see the car, much less sit it in. I just wanted to get it. Its late 2022, and they dont make them for 2023...Luckily the only option that wasnt my preference was the sunroof. It has one, I didnt want one. Everything else, is spot on. Its a fully optioned (I mean all the packages), and the color while not Octane Red, is my second pick, Go Mango.
I am lucky to have found a Super Stock at MSRP.
Dude sun roof is just for looks i had it on many of my cars and when it's humid out I just want my cold AC on!!
In Texas you have 5 days to return a new car if your not happy.
I ordered a 2021 Charger Redeye Widebody back in October and finally got it this may. I can live without red seatbelts (and didn't order them); I can damn sure live without the $2000 sunroof (and didn't order it) but I had to have the Harmon Kardon audio. It's not the ultimate sound system but it's good and worth the extra money. But to each his own. I had a 2016 Hellcat Charger before this one; they're similar but two things stand out on the 2021 - the leather seats aren't as comfortable as the microfiber seats in the '16 and the engine has an odd and annoying thumping sound at idle that the '16 didn't have. Performance isn't affected and speaking of, below 5000rpm you won't notice any difference between the '16's 707 and the 21's 797. Above 5000, you will, noticeably so. Traction out of the gate is, of course, still a farce even with the widebody's 305s. Overall I'm quite satisfied with my second Fat Cat.
Watched this video twice... only for the motivation. Love the ff tag on it too! Great to have options to skip. Keep going man.
Great advice!!! Just got myself a 2020 392 scat pack and I love it. Like your videos keep up the good work. Can I ask were did u get the red rings around your lights from?
I did that, I bought a brand new 2015 Dart GT (had 11 miles on the odometer) drove it for 2 years and realized why did I buy a car that can't get out of it's own way. So I upgraded to a base model 2017 Challenger (more power, but definitely a base model, probably the same stereo you have, no sunroof, just a base model) took a bath on the trade in value on that dart. So 2 years later (July 2019) the local dodge dealer had just taken in a 2018 Challenger R/T TA+ with 8800 miles on it (the next step up would be a Scat Pack), it has everything, blind spot detector, back up camera, all the safety features, the Harmon Kardon stereo (and it is just as awesome as you think it is), sunroof. It is absolutely decked out, anyway, I raided my retirement fund to put some money down (retirement is for losers anyway) which I am sure didn't actually help me with payments. However, this was 3 days before the Dodge power dollars deal came out and I am sure I would have been able to get into a nice ScatPack if I had waited and done some comparison shopping. Meh, it is what it is, I love my car, it has more horsepower than any car I have ever owned and is setup just the way I like it. Someday I will get a Redeye, someday. Enjoy your car like I enjoy mine, of course mine is also a daily driver so I might be having just a little bit more fun than you.
Im so happy i found this video. Me and my sugar momma LOL just bought 2 hellcats. a 2020 widebody white charger hellcat and a 2020 widebody redeye. Redeye for her charger for me. We have looked for 3 weeks and found both on the same lot along with a Daytona hellcat and even a demon in Tampa. Had I not been super specific on exactly what I wanted with all the bells and whistles on both cars i would be kicking myself. The sunroof on both, the Harmon karden (think that's how you spell it lol) in both. I can't lie i blacked out when I saw the white charger hellcat I wanted but im glad my sugar momma was there to remember exactly what specs I wanted and I was there to remeber what specs she wanted. Driving them back up to northwest Florida is gonna be a hell of a 5 hour trip home but 1500hp in 2 lanes is gonna be a damn good sound. Subed good video man 👍🏾
That is awesome! 2 hellcats! So cool!
Where by in NorthWest Florida? I’m in Fort Walton Beach
Good message glad I found your channel
It not having a sunroof is the best thing that coulda happened to that car!
I love your encouragement brother 👍
Just picked up my brand new 2020 challenger scat pack this week. Traded in my SXT that i got new in january. I had got such a good price back then that i had almost 10k of equity for my trade in! Boom 💥 o man the difference so glad i upgraded
My grandpa bought one at 70 that was last year best decision he ever made he loves the car
Dude I want to come hang out with you and listen to Stevie Ray Vaughn over a stiff drink. I appreciate how you help others through your UA-cam vids, love your content. Sometimes it could be major $$$ difference between cars, you want want you want and she does stay in your mind, you just can’t get her out of your mind. Been there done that.
Let’s do it! You have the color car I’ve always wanted. Wife always threatens my life when I tell her I’m going to wrap my car in bright green but I’m still going to do it someday!
OCMotivator I went around for days before I bought my green machine, it was just so crazy! I though I was crazy for getting my orange go mango charger before but lime green?? Every time I drove by the dealership and looked at it I just had to have it!! I would love to do a vid with you 👍 I’m in Gilroy, N. CA
I got my hellcat Charger for under 60k all in at Russell Westbrook cdjr when they were making space for the wide body’s
About the red seat belts - Seatbelt Planet makes custom ones. You could have red with black stripes if you want. Just let them know and they can do it. Currently getting blue belts with black trim on the edges for mine.
DevWolf yep! Check out my new video. 👍👍 ua-cam.com/video/3mBafBIoOR4/v-deo.html
I had the same problem with a sunroof. It's near impossible to find a car without it.
Just get yourself a Metal cutting jig saw and Sunroof sorted 💪👍
I appreciate the fact you can appreciate a gal who likes fast cars and can pay for her own
Thanks Love the beg borrow and steal music !!!!
Btw, you should be happy that you didnt get the sunroof. This way there is enough room for the helmet that you need when you go to the drag strip.
You mayn’t see this @ocmotivator but your story motivated me to accomplish my goals 💪🏼
After time in an F-15 , I lost My need for speed . However , That's a beauty of a car Ya have .
I bought an RT first then I looked at the Scat. It cost me 5000 to get into the Scat. Take your time and get what you want.
Nice car!! As far as you doing your car audio yourself,to avoid a fire just make sure you have a fuse box on the power line. !! And in the intro of the video, is the exhaust factory or modded??? It sounds awesome!!
Wow!!! Great video and wake up call to us would be shoppers... thank you
A sun roof can still be installed. They even have convertible top kits.
So I have experienced this, I had an 09 rt and traded it in for a 15 srt. Well I got to go to a high performance race school and got to drive a hellcat on a race track and boom hooked. So 10 months later traded my brand new srt for a brand new 16 hellcat...poor poor financial decision because of the depreciation.
I did the same exact thing. lol. Check out my old videos. You'll see my RT, then Scat Pack, then Hellcat Redeye. I've left a long trail of burnt cash in my wake the last few years. lol. But it's been a fun ride still. : )
@@ocmotivator haha awesome, I'm a "pull the trigger" kind of guy so when I want something you can't change my mind. I have this problem with motorcycles as well!
A sunroof is not impossible, my buddy turned a SRT scat pack into a convertible and a hellcat red eye into a convertible.
That black is beautiful though 😻
I regretfully sold my black 2019 redeye that had everything I wanted which is showing in my profile pic. It had the harman stereo, 3.09 rear axle, sunroof, and demonic red interior. Three months after I sold it, I decided that I can’t do it and I’m buying another redeye. I ended up buying 2020 triple nickel redeye has everything the black one had with the exception for the 3.09 axle which is said I will not buy the car unless it has the 3.09 axle. I’m looking to buy it now. From the factory it cost 1095$, buy it from the dealership installed cost 2600$. So, yeah you get caught up in the excitement and forgot some details..
I have a 2020 Durango GT ! My goal in 4 years if I can find is to get me a Durango hellcat or a widebody redeye let's see how it goes..
