I've owned the Scat Pack and it was overpowered, if not pointless for 99% of drivers. I now own the GT because it looks almost exactly like the higher trims and has the same features for less money. The R/T is a good compromise between the two and will only cost you $100/month over the GT, if you just have to have the V8. The main downside is that car thieves love the Hemis and most of them can tell the difference. In my area, with incentives, you can get the R/T for less than 42K.
I've owned a Scat Pack for awhile. Anyone that says these cars are slow, you'll get gapped by *insert other car name here*, etc. are straight clowns. 99% of the time, I can't even come close to utilizing all the power this engine puts out on normal city streets. Cool engine. Sounds awesome. Awesome amount of power. Borderline useless at times? Definitely.
@@EmEs1018 I owned my Scat Pack for 2.5 years and sold it for more than I paid for it when the world lost its mind about these cars. I actually went to a Camry XSE, but it was underpowered. The GT was a perfect compromise between decent power and financial intelligence.
@@kingpeso4240 The main reason is I didn't want to pay for power I rarely used. Also, the HEMIs are stolen more often and that means higher insurance. If I hadn't been able to find the GT with the options I wanted, the RT would have been my second choice for sure.
I still want one but I have a feeling it’ll get stolen after a while lol, I’d do everything I can to prevent it of course, 2 days out of the week the car will sit on the street (I live in a townhouse/apartments)
I mean I always say it’s a personal preference but for the price it isn’t worth it to me, my old 92 vette would beat the stock r/t all day long and it only cost like 9k but my c6 used cost 29k and with just a Diablo 91 tune it runs a 12.485 quarter mile. So for me the price isn’t worth what I’m getting out of it performance wise. But like I said it’s a personal preference and just depends on people’s situations.
How was the infotainment screen the best thing about this car for you? That’s basically a standard in any car nowadays and Dodge has one of the worst screens. I should know I own this car!
A big time YES for anyone looking for a Mopar on a budget. Nothing wrong with the pentastar six cylinders, but the 5.7 is where the magic begins, and in my opinion the RT’s and Scats have the best sound since they’re naturally aspirated.

@@Clooger- Are you the one trolling? Nobody was talking about used cars, I'm strictly speaking new.

Its well known by now that the rated power numbers for the na v8s are underrated. The 5.7 is pushing at least 400 crank hp and the 6.4 about 500. But theyve changed nothing interior wise and are pretty much the same since 2015 besides a few tech upgrades here n there
You can mod a 57 better than a 392. 392 can’t handle boost as well as the 57. Mods for the 57 would be intake, cam, long tube heads, exhaust, 392 ported manifold. Easy mods to make 420 to the wheel and keep up with 392s

14' Mustang Gt/Brembo guy here but I grew up with Mopars and always considered the Charger to be the best-looking sedan on the road. Have seen many really cool colors/configs. Nice color here and sounds great!
Love my 2021 charger RT/daytona. If I had a scat or Cat, I'd just lose my license and the car would be impounded. It's hard enough staying decent in the daytona. My RT sounds much better than this one in the video.
I have a 2014 pursuit with a couple of small mods like a tuner chip. These things are really fast for what they are. they will actually get away from you from a dead stop launch. and dont punch it around a fairly tight corner at 30 mph lol Mine has the cop exhaust (just a delete of the resonators far as I can tell) It sounds really good but is quite in the car till you punch it. 0-50 varies by surface from say 4.9-5.2 The slight mods I did maybe make it a tenth faster? they did make a difference as second gear shifts will light up the tires a bit now. My other car is an Ls converted 74 chevy c10 truck and seems that both cars run about the same but the charger seems a tad faster 80-120 One thing tho the charger has the old Br9 brakes which are the biggest dodge put on chargers This thing STOPS Soooo it was fun from the start and I haven't spent a bunch on it It was a $5500 car at auction LOL
did u buy it yet also how does it drive and how much gas does it take up i really wanna buy one in the future its my dream car but idk if i can afford it.....
If it's fully loaded then yeah I think it's a good price because. GTs are going for 40,000. In GTs are going for 40,000 because they look like scat packs now
I recently imported one from the US to Germany. They dont sell them here. Jaw dropping car here in Germany and my daily trip to work includes 3 long tunnels. Agree that the 5.7 has the better sound🌩
The hp is measured to the crank to wheel, it has around 300-330 whp depending on the year, dodge measures EVERYTHING to the crank and not wheel. Even the demon 170 is measured to the crank not wheel. They lie about there horsepower ratings been a known thing
I have a 2021 Charger R/T. The car is stock. It has the bigger tires and Brenbo brakes. It will run mid 13s all day on street tires if driven right. My best is 13.48. It's no 392 but these times are very good for a car that weighs 4300 lbs. It will also run over 150mph on top. The brake and tire option gets rid of the 130mph limiter. A V-6 Camry won't touch this car. Plus you don't have to buy the 93 octane gas. My car also gets 27 to 28 miles per gallon on trips. They also have a great sound. The 392 can be too loud.
yeah.... my police puursuit still has the spotlamps (hey.. they turn night into day) and a white roof.... My daughter followed me in it one time and it is cop evil looking! The other thing I like is the column shifter instead of the center one. I did have to buy a center console as all the cop stuff was stripped out. I like the rubber floor instead of carpet also.I am going to program the Diablo tuner tho to get the scat pac screens.. Not sure how that will work tho with the smaller display.

Dodge makes some great vehicles but they're too expensive for what they are, and too easy to steal.
Agreed, $45k new for this is ridiculous, and when I drive mopar's I'm always a little nervous leaving it in a parking lot
They make more money off of them being easy to steal, why change?
Idk about the "expensive" part, every car now is ridiculously overpriced, what other car besides the Camaro can you get a V8 in for sub-$50k?
