It's funny how the the Ram Air Firebirds were around 300 HP in the 90's and now it just doesn't seem like much. I never had one but did very much want.
+1. Some perspective: I had a 1989 Thunderbird SC: 3.8L supercharged V6, 210 hp and 315 lb ft, about 7.5 sec. 0-60 and 17/24 mpg. Was bad-ass at the time, a poor man's 635CSi. The Charger SXT and GT trims with na 3.6L V6 are larger (more comfy), about 700 lb heavier, 300 hp and 270 lb ft, yet quicker at about 6.5 sec 0-60 and get 19/30 mpg.
I had the 2021 GT in white but sold it earlier thIs year for an SUV. It's a great daily driver but I needed more cargo space. I was pleasantly surprised by the fuel efficiency. The rear camera really needs an update cause the resolution is terrible.
How big was the storage on it because im used to having a smaller jeep and was curious if i could even fit my fishing gear in a charger as im looking for something slightly more efficient
Tbh the only benefit I see from suvs is internal height . Otherwise the chargers have fairly big trunks and cabin space is roomy . And you can drop the seats in the back if you need more room . Subs use weak engines for their size often and are clumsier with barely any more useful space . I like the idea of an suv but fuel economy and pricing for barely a huge difference doesn’t seem worth it.
The 8 speed makes these things fun. I had a 20 Charger GT but now have a 21 300 Touring L and they both drive quick and Nimbel for its size. And the Hellcat logo on the Screen is a option on the screen to have as your Background, there's other things Dodge related that you could choose besides the hellcat.
Ding ding ding. Winner winner chicken dinner. Got one for my wife and our 3 kids. Tired of my Sequoia that only gets 15mpg. This is funner and still roomy enough.
Don't regret getting my 21' GT. It looks nice and has decent power but i don't care about speed at this point in life lol. However, they tend to be a bit pricey just like the rest of the other dodge/chrysler cars
I love this car this is only cheap car in Canada I can buy used 2022 for like 38k and AWD I saw some used with barley any km like 20k km which is basically new almost second hand Prices here for cars are ridiculous but a full package car like this for 38k Canadian is basically the only full package car I can find for this price I mean nice V6 AWD sedan Even th r8 isn't that much more like 50k but I don't need gas sucking engine with traffic here in Toronto busy city This V6 with AWD is amazing I wanted an SUV but honestly this car is calling me to buy it I fell in love with it it's making me give up the SUV which we need because I love it
Just bought one and im in love I personally love it and is my daily Also to anyone it’s probably better to remove those splitter guards as it left some bad marks on the lip
@@tylerb7355 nope not so far everything is great been driving it everyday to work gas is way better than what I expected too sometimes i get 22mpg according to my dash

I have a 2020 GT AWD. I know first hand it's faster from 60 to 90 MPH than a similar Scat Pack. The SP aero bits may actually be hurting it in a straight line. I know it can do a 4 wheel burnout (sometimes). I feel like that's an electronic limitation more than a powertrain limitation. Mine doesn't have a hellcat logo in the climate control.
Sure. Your R/T has more power. I'm just saying a GT is an amazing awesome car. I also have adaptive cruise control which you probably don't have, and AWD which you DEFINTELY don't have. I have sport mode, launch control, 1/4 mile timers, AC seats, nav, wifi onboard internet, and everything else you have. I also get over 20 mpg all the time, and over 30 at 80+mph driving cross-country. What do you get? 10? The GT is a great car. I sacrifice about 60 hp and get everything else. Pretty good trade.
No, believe it or not the 2.5 Stinger is actually more competitive with the 5.7 version of the Charger. Both have mid 5 sec 0-60 and high 13, low 14 second quarter mile times.
@@slow_rednline4874 lol yeah ok. Like a car with 1.6 is going to beat a car that's 3.6 with 300 HP that was oh yeah made to go in a straight line that's backed by Toque Flight Racing Trans. The V6 Mopars are much faster than you think my friend.
I had the 2019, EXACT color and specs. I had an accident in it 2 days ago and it's written off :( . I just can't imagine buying anything else, other than an upgraded charger. Any idea if there's a huge difference in fuel economy vs. a 5.7 HEMI? thanks
You really don't get that much better mileage with the V-6 or the V-8 5,7. I would say only 2-3 mpg. I personally would look at the 5.7. Because the engine has more power, it would be more efficient. And the V-8 has better resale value. The only downside is, you won't be getting AWD--unless you buy the Police version. And you can't buy one of those new.
Really the no go part is the 2.62 gearing I seen a 3.92 gear in a 9” rear on a charger sxt and it’s acceleration was pretty wild. Not like a scat pack. But rivaled a stock 5.7 stock tune to stock tune
One of the best things about this trim level is that they give you a spare tire. Hard to believe that the Scat Packs were listing for about $43,000 only 4 years ago. Let's Go Brandon!
I just bought my 2021 Dodge Charger sxt like 4 weeks ago with my own money and then today someone swerved me off the road and made me ram into a guard rail and both airbags deployed 🥲 I miss my baby
I’d buy that vehicle used. I feel like the GT is good enough for me. Good on gas and looks beautiful. The scats are sexy but too much for me 😂 I don’t need all that

Beautiful cinnamon color paint. The exhaust isn't very aggressive. Add a couple of Flowmaster Super 10' mufflers.
I just picked mine up today I’m in canada 🇨🇦 I love it so far amazing car
It’s a nice car but personally I’d at least want a V8.
Depends on your situation and your use for it.
If you want AWD you have to get the V6 unless you are in law enforcement but that comes with a 5.7 liter V8 and a 5 speed auto .
My dad just scooped one up, 15k in rebates. I guess they're trying to move the last of them. Cinnamon stick is such a beautiful color too.

Interesting. I might use it... in 8 years when my warranty expires.
I think something called taser is plug and play, won’t affect warranty but I also heard some have issues with it
5:16 why there is an cat logo did you guys see that
Decent looking car but if you want more power you could honestly get a few years older R/T for the same price.
I just picked up a 2022 Charger R/T because they were discontinuing it.
I just picked up a Scat Charger for the same reason.

If you want v8 awd charger, then you can only buy used police charger up to 2020 model year, or 2014 R/T trim
You would probably also look at a Durango R/T with AWD too.
anyone know why the daytime running lights turn off with the turn signal on? 7:42

Awd option and more hp than the sxt version..they are both v6s
@@slow_rednline4874 Challengers have AWD options as well.
@@slow_rednline4874 also the GT Challenger is 303HP while the GT Charger is 300
