The R/T is by far the best daily driver you can get from Dodge. It has more than enough horse power to have fun. Second the Scat Pack and Hellcat are really for hard core enthusiast who like hitting the track. If you are daily driving something like a Hellcat you are wasting money because you will be spending sooo much in gas and general maintenance it wont be worth it in the long run.
i daily drive a hellcat it’s really not that bad you can get fairly decent miles per gallon if you can take your foot out of it and not get tempted by people rolling up on you
@@chad4768 looking into getting one what I was thinking just depends how u drive
@@TheOgsuspect in order to get decent miles per gallon you have to drive really slow like barely push the gas pedal try not to get it above 2k rpm, i did it for a while whenever i replied to this comment and then i just gave up it was too boring and now i get barely 10 mpg driving normally
I agree with the R/T as a daily, however the scat is the best bang for your buck.
I agree from a racing standpoint but if you wanna get an sxt or rt for the purpose of just having a nice looking daily i say go for it and ignore all the hate the car community will throw at you, not like they're helping you with the payments anyway💯😂😂
💯
100%Agreed
Most realist shit ever who cares what you get, is yo shit
That’s how I see the R/T, if you want good power for the streets to have fun and you just want a good sounding, good looking daily that isn’t just an Altima or a Camry
FACT BE KNOWN!!! An R/T though not for the long haul! Can usually take a scat or hellcat off the line! R/T can put the power down easier! I’ve driven all (3) the R/T for a daily driver! Is the most fun & feels the safest! But nothing beats a HELLCAT supercharger whine! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Tired of people talking down on the R/T
It’s just one of those things of wanting more and more, if you enjoy the v6 3.5/3.6 than get it, 5.7 get it. That’s how I see it, and when it comes to getting a R/T, imma just go get a 300c for 6k vs $40k
Exactly bro
I want to buy an rt my mom wants me to get the gt awd but I told her if I'm going to spend the money why not get into the v8 I'm saving up it will b my first muscle car what is it like driving a v8
Shadow Wolf it’s like driving something with power no matter what, you’ll barely press and the acceleration is noticeably different from a v6. But I feel like with any car it eventually tops out for you and you’ll want faster and faster
@@TyB-BT right now I drive a base model madza to save up I want the rt is it ok to bypass v6 to go straight to the v8 I think it smart to get the v8 for 40000 I heard they are alot of fun
It’s crazy that 375hp isn’t “a lot of power” anymore!😲😮
Times are changing!
It’s not if you have it in 4,300 lb Vehicle.
💯% 🇺🇸MUSCLE💪🏻
To be considered fast u should have atleast 500 horses under the hood.....but 375 is still OK
It’s crazy how ppl forget where they come from Mopar is Mopar I hate drivers who look down. If your starting out a rt is perfect
@Anthony Gates facts
I got a 2017 R\T challenger and I love it.. Y’all can’t get mad at the man’s opinion though.. 💯
Are they good cars or is a 2018 eco boost better?
@@vroombitvh2782 honestly bro it depends, I got the r/t because I am only 18 and insurance would have been hella, also it doesn’t waste to much gas for being a v8
@@antoniop.7438 what's your gas mileage if you had to estimate? I'm 18 and I have a scatpack I average like 10.5 mpg which is horrendous.

Why not? Our opinion does not count? Just yours.
me with an R/T: sweat intensifies
@Anthony Gates exactly man, if you enjoy your car then it doesn’t matter what people say about it. Fuck em
Bro i felt like a god when i got my RT. It was a huge upgrade from my 4 cylinder Accord 😂 always got looks when i was driving it. Unfortunately i had to let her go... For a 2020 Scat 😂
@ItachiTheSuperSaiyan hard work pays off brother 👍
@ItachiTheSuperSaiyan for sure! Stay on the grind, get that credit up. One step at a time 👌
Tbh I get what your saying, but I’ve had my Charger R/T for over 3 years and love it. They’re just way more cheaper to own and take care of, but I’ve thought about getting a 6.4 but they just want to much and there’s a lot you can do to the 5.7 to make it compete with a 6.4 or Hellcat. I’d still buy a brand new 5.7 just to mod it and piss scat pack owners off when I dust their ass
i get what your saying about putting money into an rt to make it compete but at that point wouldnt it cost the same or less to just get the higher package? i personally dont race or care about how slow/fast my car is because at the end of the day, there is always someone faster than you. i just want an RT because its much more affordable than scat/hellcat. like yea maybe when im much older and already have a house etc i would get a car that expensive. RTs are plenty powerful IMO and make for a great daily.
Mr_ R/T for president
345s and 392s have the exact same transmission. The fact that the rt doesn't put as much power through it as the scat pack means the rt is more reliable in regards to transmission trouble.
well said
Rt drod punching the air rn 😂😂
Lmao
Lmao Na bro Mopars are expensive to Mod, PCM’s are a bag to unlock let alone a tuning device or a custom dyno tune.
You beat me to it
RT Drod yea bro. 5.7 and 6.4’s are hard to mod and cost way more to mod compare to an LS/LT or 5.0. That’s why leaned my towards a 6th gen ss over scat pack. But im waiting for that Tennessee and supercharged content.
Lmaoooooo
Rt is a great first car.. coming from someone who is 18
Agreed
I was just turning 19 when I got my 2015 FULLY LOADED RT! no co sign or anything and no credit! I got super lucky! I chose the RT because I was 19 years old and my insurance was already gonna be out the roof. I pay 400 a month for insurance.. if I would of got a scat it prob would of been 5 or 6 hundred a month.. 🙁 i would just be throwing away money at that point .. take your guys time.. don’t listen to anybody bro. I want a scat but I love my RT! get what you can afford not something where you can barely go out and eat w your friends because you need gas for the week.. why get a scat and drive it in eco mode the whole week just to avoid getting gas? hell no. get your money up and make sure you can afford it and can step on the gas
Facts bro!! 🙌
RT and scat pack barely have a cost difference when it comes to insurance. Both are 8 cylinder sedans. Honestly you do raise a good point, only buy what you can afford BUT the scat pack is much better. It actually utilizes the 8 cylinder engine so much better. Over 100 HP difference. 370 HP is WEAK on a 4 thousand + pound car
@@BanksRolls the is a considerable difference in the insurance between they factor in the power plus 370 hp is enough especially if you upgrade tires then you will be closing in to scat 0-60 times and if you change your gearing they won't start pulling until about 80mph I this for facts I fuck with my boys scat all day for miles of nice straight roads hell takes 5.0s and ss some time to pull on you to now you will lose on the big end
Well for a true daily driver that can go on road trips and take speed bumps you cant go wrong with the R/T , you can fill it with 87 and its ride height is enough to clear everything and the consumables are way cheaper than the 392 or hellcat counterpart
Still having fun with my 2019 RT. It’s been a year n a half now. I definitely want the Scat Pack tho.
The Scat Pack was built for people that know nothing about cars or send them to a mechanic to be built I'd rather have the forged internals of the five seven
😂😂😂😂
Spoken like a true dumbass
excuses.
Built not bought baby. Anyone can go buy a fast car off the showroom floor. Respect comes with work. Takes work to create a true street monster👑✌🏻
Lol
Everyone I know that has an r/t loves them and have had no issues with them. My grandad has an older r/t with almost 200k miles and it runs like a top. The insurance, gas, and maintenance is cheaper as well. To me they’re a great daily driver that looks good and still has enough power to put a smile on your face.
Built and Bought Boys 🏁 I’m gonna be a sleeper bro just a lil 500 whp 5.7 🤪
I can’t wait, definitely wanna see
, I have a 2006 charger rt & a 2019 mustang gt ready for when you want the gap sauce 😂
I have a sxt but fuck it , it’s all I can afford and it looks bad ass
Definitely drop sum merch 🔥🔥🔥
I’ll still gap you bro😂
I love my Daytona RT. I turn heads everywhere I go. I don't race or do burnouts or any of that crap. I like riding clean and sounding good. I think the R/T is a great buy, depending on the person. And if anything goes wrong, my Mopar Platinum warranty will fix it. And car can have issues...it's a machine.
Now he's gotta buy everybody shawarma😂
I totally agree. I started with An RT also. My biggest negative was the stopping power. Once I upgraded to the SRT8, I noticed the big difference with Brembo brakes.
I disagree first you must get what you can afford. I've had my 2016 RT for 5yrs no problems. But If I could do it over I would get the scatpack but my RT has a bunch of features that the scatpack would of cost me 50k. So it all depends on your point of getting the car everybody's not into racing. But great video! Luv the channel congrats on 10k💯👍
What’s your definition of afford? Car price = Yearly income or less.
Jason if you cant make your monthly payments then you cant afford it
@@AreWhyAyeInn wat if u can make the payments but u cant get approved because not enough credit history
Agreed. Love your channel man!!
Was it hard or expensive to maintenance the car
Rt is great learning car but you get used to the power super quick but it’s still faster than 85% percent of the cars on the road
The SXT is faster than most cars on the road and still great on mileage everyone doesn’t need a drag car I love my sxt because I can drive it everyday and it still looks good I will be dam if I buy a hellcat and only put 6k to 15 miles on it in 2 or 3 years because of worry about cost and trying to keep the resell value high
SrtJoe yep, I pass them everyday!
I have an 03 maxima and Blow the doors off a rt when we raced and the maxima is stock
@@m.s.gperformance299 A 5 speed maybe. Definitely not the 5.7 8 speeds.
Gearhead6.2 yea but the 8 speed doesn’t start passing until around 115mph+. plus weight difference helps a lot 😂
From what I seen the 5.7 handles boost way better than the 6.4 but everybody’s car is different
No it doesn’t lmao. 5.7s are trash. Super old platform that doesn’t make any power
@@Merked. you probably drive a Camry huu
@@Merked. Dude, you don't even have a car. 5.7s is where a lot started and they do handle boost like a champ.
@@Merked. you sound stupid as shit kid
@@Merked. tf is you talking about you must drive some 4.6L
I have a 2021 charger R/T and I love it. Only complaint I have is the low MPG but I guess that’s normal with a V8
First of all, there is nothing wrong with buying an RT. Its not all about being the fastest. I don't recommend getting any V6 if you are buying a Charger, Challenger, or Ram. Its all about you, if you have an RT and you love it then there is no reason to feel the need to trade it in for a 392 Scat Pack or a hellcat. There are actually 5.7L Hemis that are faster than stock 392 Scat Packs with just bolt-on's. Please stop hating on RT when you are paying $90,000 for a hellcat because for some reason that waffle maker on the 6.2L adds over $25,000 to the msrp?
Congrats on 10k homie keep livin ur best life man ❤️
Thanks my man I appreciate you!
I have an RT and am currently just above 500hp. It’s stroked and cammed, and has longtubes. Xx Goal is to build a 1000HP monster.
We would have a good race
marlon austin what
@03002000 you’re stupid you loser lmao. Unlike you, I can afford what I’m building😴 not everybody round here a broke bitch like you. And btw...so far much cheaper than a hellcat.

Congrats g keep the vids coming ‼️ Food vlogs too 🔥
That was funny @ 3:00 😂 interesting videos coming from a mustang gt owner. Subbed.
Congratulations for 10K SUBS 🎊🎉👍🏼
As a RT owner of four years I completely agree with everything you said. Now I got rid of my RT a couple years back but I can honestly say it was fun at first in then quickly I regretted not getting the scat pack charger !!! In my opinion do NOT buy a RT at all because you will get tired of it before you think 🤔 trust me. Either get the V6 with a good bit of bells an whistles or the scat pack honestly. If I could do it over again I would probably go with the V6 fully loaded because you can’t use the power all the time an you find yourself at the gas station a shit ton an it just gets old. This is just my option after owning a good bit of vehicles in my time.
I just got a 2018 r/t charger and I love it. I had to upgrade from a 2014 Ford focus.
The rt is great for modding. If you dump say 15k into the car you can reach some serious power. Especially if you do the work yourself. You also have to remember that for a streetcar the rt is a lot of power. The days of the hellcats have destroyed the idea of buying a street car. He also is no where near fbo. The srt manifolds are good but nothing beats lts. Also no intake manifold and I do not remember if he has a tb. If you know how to mod and have a decent amount of money to drop. The rts are very reliable under normal conditions. You can take say 30k you didnt spend on the hellcat by buying the rt you can build an easy 1000-1500 crank race car. For daily driving you obviously dont want the full everything for daily driving but it is capable. Most people do not go into a car and want to mod it. Also the 5.7 takes really well to low boost and nitrous. If you put drop ins in you can run 600 wheel safely on more than 6-7 psi. Going na putting a cam and drop ins in you can reach 500 crank without stroking it. The rt is a great vehicle you just have to know how to mod it. One last thing the trans “slipping” on rt drods car is prob his tune. It will put more psi into lower rev shifts. It may feel like it is slipping but it really isnt.
Hell yeah never seen a charger keychain lol definitely copping merch bro keep it up🔥🙏🏽
Lot of good information in this video. Thanks for the insight. As a 35 year old it is comical to hear you say that muscle cars just started getting popular back around 2015-2016. They have never not been popular and I remember when the "new" Charger came out back in like 2006 we were all chomping at the bits to find out about what kind of crazy stuff Mopar was up to. Nonetheless I appreciate your insight because I have never owned one of these newer Mopars. I do however own and daily a 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. You are NOT WRONG about getting used to the power and wishing you had saved your money and gotten something faster. I have a full custom dual exhaust, k&n intake, sct tuner with a custom tune and this thing is so slow....🤦🏼♂️
No matter if it’s a V6 or V8. You gotta take care of them.
I have owned my 2019 RT for almost a year now. It was my daily for a while but I got another car. I’m 22 and it’s my first muscle car. I was going to get a 392 but I didn’t feel comfortable with that much power. Now that I’m more experienced, I am on the fence with upgrading to a 392 or keeping the RT for a few more years and getting the hellcat. But I think the RT is a great first muscle car, if you’re looking for racing I would go with the SRT. But I always get compliments on mine and it sounds great
congrats on 10K man!
Looking super forward to that scatpack video 👍🏽
Congrats on 10K bro
I traded my 17 RT after 5 months for a 20 Scat. If you want to go fast just get the Scat at least. But like you said if it's your first sport car/muscle car hey, own it and enjoy it. With the muffler deletes i had a lot of fun in the RT. Good video. I'm subscribing.
Never had issues with any of my 5.7L Hemis with the Pre-Eagle and Post Eagle Hemis. The only thing it has is the Hemi tick but both with no issues.
I think you should start at a 5.7 so you can get the power under control and then move up
The only reasons why I want a new RT are 1. I need a daily driver for work, and 2. I don't want a ridiculous insurance payment with a Scat Pack. But in 2 years when the lease is up I might change my mind, who knows 🤷🏻♂️ thank you for sharing your thoughts on RTs though, I will take all of this info into consideration 😄🚘

Whats your thought on srt8's. Thinking of buying it over the rt, saving up to get a Hellcat
I do want to say that these videos your making are very helpful for me because I am a 17 year old currently saving up for a scat but I like to debate weather to Mod my [BMW my first car 330ci] This video made me realize I should just save up for a scat because this BMW gonna break on me even with all these expensive Modifications.
I drive my 392 Scat year round in New England which keeps the power in perspective. Winters make me miss my AWD Charger, but come spring, it feels like I got a new car all over again.
I think if you can afford the few extra grand and go with the Daytona 392. I absolutely love my F8 green Daytona 392 and gets lots of thumbs up at car shows and when I drive it
It pissed you off that dodge made changes to their car? I can't believe they didn't ask your permission. 🤣 get over yourself
Doesnt the srt waste hella gas😔?
Got an rt charger completley happy with it don’t see why people talk down on it tbh.
LA Where I live At. A 17 year old had a hellcat.but he R.i.p. Because of that hellcat. Hitting 150 in a school zone. Wrapped around a tree.
the 5.7 is the most used engine in chrsyler so i disagree everybody doesn't have hellcat money and you beat the car up so what would you exspect you have to get the good diff if you going to do donuts like scat packs and upgrade the suspension and it willl still be cheaper then even a scat pack i rather build my car in the long wrong and on top of thing happen what if you cant afford that payment due to covid or anything?
Every time you start a video I keep my eye on the door, I don’t trust it anymore 😂
Car Mad 😂😂😂
Lmfaoo 🤣🤣
Why you SHOULD buy a Charger/Challenger RT!!
I know you said this but, quite a bit less expensive yet decent performance. Also when you tack on taxes and registration fees every year, it adds up.
Insurance costs.
5.7L uses regular octane vs, 6.4L and 6.2L which use premium.
Gas mileage. What does a Hellcat get (does it pass everything but gas stations)?
2019 and 2020 have basically the same look/hood and that V8 sound (albeit not the blower whine of the Hellcat).
Sure, 245s don't have the traction (or look) of 275s (or 305s!) but they are less expensive and probably don't need to be replaced as often (due to burnouts).
You mentioned reliability and that your diff cracked. I doubt most people will have that or any drive-train problems.
Traffic/speeding violations. Driver dependent for sure but less likely with the RT. Ditto regarding accidents.
Less tempted to race which in my state is a 12 point violation and revocation of driver's license.
Still seats 4 comfortably (fairly comfortably in the Challenger).
Can spend cost savings on Plus and/or Technology packages, window tinting, sound system, wheels, non-performance related items.
Where was this video when i bought my '13 r/t charger 2 months ago. Lol love your videos
How do you feel about the mopar engines would you say they’re reliable? Thinking about buying a scat pack. Love your hellcat
Yee road to 100k🔥
Talk about the 6.4l scatpack pros and cons. Congrats on the 10k subs keep up the hard work CHAMP YOU GOT THIS
Pros: really good power. Nice cars, especially widebody. Cons: Hard to modify. Boost need to open the engine and build internals. More cost and Labor to Cam
its all pros but cons start coming in when you start to add boost to it..
I went the same exact route you did. In the end ended up with a hellcat and absolutely love it. Quick side question, what do you think about the stock exhaust on the hellcat?
If you are trying to race and beat every car on the Road get a Scat or Hellcat! If u want to have a daily driver that will beat 90 percent of most cars on the road and sound like a beast u get an RT. If u not racing why u need more horse power? It’s still a V8 Hemi. U abuse any car it’s gonna give u problems straight up. But the differential issue I had as well. Had to take to dealer. But really are u trying to beat a scat? Who cares they look and sound good. Just tune, add headers, short tube headers and enjoy having a nice car. Because u can have a Hellcat and get gapped by a track hawk. What u gonna do trade in your Hellcat because u lost? U still have a nice ass car lmaoooooo RTs are great. Who wants to die going 180 or 190 to prove a point that your car is faster? Lmao 😂😂😂
I'm gonna go ahead and fact check this. I think there is some things worth mentioning here that the video didn't cover. RT's can be cheap to mod, there are some critical mods that need to be done this video doesn't mention, and that there are some advantages over the 6.4. NOTE: I'm not criticizing the 6.4. It's a great motor. I think the trim level you choose depends on how you wanna enjoy your car.
-For the RT, the first thing you MUST do is get a 3.09 Limited Slip Diff off the Scat Pack. I really do not know why they put that stupid open diff on the RT. Also, I'm not sure what you were doing to make the diff crack, but it sounds like you were doing some crazy fun stuff.
-The second critical mod is the cam. RT Drod does not have this on his car, and it is the reason why he has not picked up much power. The RT comes with a weak ass cam. I swapped a stock 392 cam into my RT. Man, the car has surely picked up on the top end. It is able to rev up to 6500 RPM. With RT Drod's other mods, he would likely be beating Scats with the cam, since he's running E85 and has long tube headers. A cam swap alone will net you 50 to 60 whp.
-The 6.4 motor is optimized from the factory as a naturally aspirated motor. When you mod an RT, your mods drastically change the car. As for the 6.4, the gains on them are quite minimal, since it's optimized from stock. This fact can make the modding process less enjoyable, as you'll be spending a bunch of money for a minimal gain. A cam swap and a set of long tube headers will be pretty expensive and you won't really get much out of it.
-The 6.4 and 6.2 supercharged motors are technically built off of the 5.7 platform. The 6.4 is a bored and stroked 5.7 with a better cam, an active intake, and shorty headers. Hence why these parts swap over easily. This is the main reason why the 5.7 is so much fun to mod.
-I have no idea why RT Drod's transmission is slipping. The Scat Pack and the RT have the exact same transmission. There is likely something missing from his build which is creating issues. The transmission is able to handle up to 600 WHP. Above that, it'll have issues.
-It's worth mentioning that the throttle body in the Scat Pack is the exact same as the RT. So unless RT Drod had the throttle body bored by Fastman, he probably wasted his money.
-The 5.7 is able to handle boost much better than the 6.4. As I mentioned earlier, the 6.4 is actually a modified 5.7, which is optimized to be a naturally aspirated. The 6.4's compression ratio makes it insanely dangerous to boost. Where as the 5.7 is able to be built up for boost and hit the 500+ WHP range and still be reliable. Making a supercharged 6.4 be reliable is gonna cost a LOT, to the point where you may as well buy a Hellcat.
For my 2019 Charger RT, I pretty much swapped over parts from the 6.4. I did the 392 intake manifold, 392 cam, Mopar Stage 1 valve springs, 3.09 LSD, SRT Headers/Mid Pipes, and finally a 93 octane tune. I spent $2,000 on parts, and $1,000 on labor. The parts are quite cheap compared to the after market equivalent. Boy does this thing drive like a completely different vehicle. The car is putting down 395 WHP, vs a stock 392, which is putting down 420 WHP, plus I'm not very afraid of putting a supercharger on it.
Now let me point out, I never actually planned to do this, but the mods happen. I thought the stock 5.7 would be enough. Just like you said, it was a lot of fun at the start, but then I get used to it. I could have put down the extra $4,000 to get the 392, and gotten the extra 25 WHP. Had I got the Scat Pack, I'd definitely be quite happy with it's power, as well as kept my warranty, however I wouldn't have been motivated to mod it and learn a lot about cars. It's been an enjoyable experience, and I have greatly lengthened the time I enjoy it by watching it grow. A lot of Scat Pack owners still get used to the power, and want to get more power, but the HP to $ they get from the mods is really not worth it.
Long story short, the trims for the cars serve different purposes. Each has their own pros and cons.
-The 5.7L RT is a great car to introduce you into what it is like to drive a muscle car. However, you will get used to the stock power after a few months. But, the car is an amazing foundation for some insane mods. The mods will net you a lot of HP gain per $ and you'll have a blast when building up your monster. Each mod will have significant gains. You get a lot of freedom, whether you wanna go with a naturally aspirated build, or a supercharged build. You'll take great pride in it and it'll be unique. However, if you are not intending to mod because you don't wanna deal with the hassle, then get the Scat Pack. If you want something because it is fast, it is a fact that you'll most likely get too used to the power.
-The 6.4L Scat Pack will get you amazing power right from the factory. It's technically is Dodge's amazing build for the RT. You are getting a naturally aspirated monster from the factory, which is covered by the warranty. You are getting a great bang for your buck. If you have no intentions of modding, and don't wanna deal with the hassle of modding, definitely buy a Scat Pack. However, if you are intending to mod it, this is not the car for you, as the gains will be small for the money you'd be spending on each mod. However, it is less likely you'll get the feeling that you need to spend money on mods, but it's quite possible it could happen.
-The 6.2L Supercharged Hellcat is for the people who want the most power, and will pay top dollar for it. You'll be getting a supercharged monster right from the factory. If you are going to mod it, you will pick up insane power, and you'll be able to hit 1,000 HP.
PS: If you bought an RT, have gotten used to the power, and are considering trading for a Scat, be very careful. You don't want to carry over too much negative equity. If you don't want to deal with the hassle of modding, wait till you got a good chunk of the RT paid off. If you don't mind, consider modding it. You'll still be getting a great bang for your buck, like you would with the Scat, plus you'll enjoy watching your car grow, and be personalized to you.
Dont know where you got this from but all built before in vehicle hemis any size from 5.7 to the super stock are tested 15%.above stated number ratings anything thrown at it after that you have to upgrade internals rear gear and tranny.. I put near 680 to my rt and put the number 6 piston rod thru bottom of block.. Thankfully i had help from a mopar master mechanic thats been working for mopar srt division for 13 yrs helped me out a lot.. He builds and tests any hemi on a motor stand before they are installed in any vehicle
for me i just want the rt because its got the nice v8 sound with plenty of power to be a daily. im not out here drag racing or racing at all. there is always someone who is faster than you so i couldnt care less about more power. the extra money for a scat doesnt seem worth it to me personally. im hoping to find a nicely spec'd RT like a daytona and i would be very happy with that for a long time. i agree with you that i would probably get used to the power after some time but i dont think i would get "bored" because i dont really drive fast or hog my cars around at all. and if after a couple years i feel like i need more power i can always throw a few mods at it. ive always loved the sound of a cammed car so thats probably what i would do, with a nice exhaust and thats plenty
RT Drod doin it for the 5.7 boys
I'm literally waiting for the truck with my new challenger scatpack to arrive at the dealership. Ordered my 6 speed shaker dynamics in Frostbite 6 weeks ago.
Make a universal keychain something that any person with any car can have, instead of just charger
Heard you loud and clear!
definitely do a video on scat packs. i’m interested, i’m 24 and have a 2019 scat with 8600 miles on it now, put a good amount of money in mods into it already but been debating about doing anything else or just saving for a cat? it is my daily (for now)
Damn man I’m a year late. But how was the scat pack as a daily?? I’m doing a lot of research and thinking hard about getting one. I’m not a speed racer type…..but that scat pack is just calling me…..I just want an honest opinion from a normal guy
Get info bro...couldn't wait to get out of my sxt challenger
Congrats 🎉
I’m 20 years old I’m saving for a scatpack widebody I currently drive a 2015 Nissan Altima
He’s right! My first was an R/T and within the first few months I regretted it and wished I had gotten the Scat Pack. Do yourself a favor and just start with the SCAT PACK!
Buy what you can afford and what you want ..... it don’t matter .... you can get a $60,000 hellcat and get walked by a base Mustang GT with $5000 in mods ...... so it don’t matter it’s always gonna be something with more power ..... just get what you like
I LOVE THE GRUNT STYLE T-SHIRTS ur the goat
I have a 2022 R/T and I’m absolutely in love with it.
Dude, you talk entirely too much. Get to the point. Kept hitting FF until I finally gave up.
That's right I purchased one and I actually luv it's it's your money you get what you want and add what you want I have three of them.
I was all ass backwards! 1st was a 2018 manual hellcat! Then a Hemi, & then a 392! The R/T was the most fun & safest feeling! As far as just daily driving around town!
That’s why I’m getting it!!
what your saying doesnt make sense doesnt matter what you get you will eventually get used to the power no matter ifbits 300 400 500 700 hp and a R/T can take forced air but a 6.4 cant you have to soend 10 grand on the motor just to get it to be able to take forced air
Mopars dont do good with modding in general unless it's little stuff.
R/Ts are gr8 best bang for your buck scat packs are cool but the 392 ain’t worth the extra money to Me I’m all about the mod life tho
5.7 is just enough to move the car decent. If you want it for looks and space then it’s fine. If you buy it and everyone blows your doors off don’t cry. You knew what you were getting with the 5.7.
Lets geeeeet itttttt
I got an R/T hopefully scatpack soon! Make a video about the scats bro
Honestly, how do you feel about the older generation chargers?
In my opinion start from the bottom and get used to the power of each then once you get a scat or even a hellcat you’ll have some type of knowledge how these cars work , most people just jump on to something pretty fast not knowing how it operates , causing crashes making these beautiful cars go to waste
Dang you live by the beautiful temple! Nice area!
R/T is just as good of a platform as the 392. The whole drivetrain (trans,clutch, driveshaft,axles) are the same. And both engines take the same amount of power on a stock block. I'm making north of 550whp on my 5.7 stock block with a maggie
Is the RT a great daily driver if u don’t wanna do anything to it? Just drive it the way it is?
Straight facts! I’m an rt owner and planning on dropping a 6.1L hemi in it.
Buy what you can afford! Don’t listen to this man
My 2021 wide body hellcat is 1200hp would love to link up with you sometime man
Always someone getting butthurt I appreciate the feedback if anything always take in what you can from anyone offering advice doesn’t hurt to learn something new much respect to you brotha @6.2 hellcat , I have an rt charger and I love it it is my daily it’s a fun car to drive in my opinion definitely not enough power to my pleasure but it’s definitely an enjoyable car . I do agree and say avoid mods and upgrade , I’m looking forward to buying my first home 22 years of age but I’m coming for that cat soon 🤟🏼 much love blessings to 100k this year
If you don't ride on the Tracks (which is most people) a Hellcat is literally over kill. A RT is the best route to go
Do you know a good tune for the rt? I plan on getting a tune and air intake and I heard you can add the hellcat lower intake on the rt with 392 throttlebody, I plan on boosting the rt in the long run.
At the end of the day it comes down to internals. Anything lower than a hellcat platform is risky to add bolt ons. Hellcat internals are much stronger than the others and can handle 1,000 horsepower easily. You would have to rebuild the engine on a scatpack let alone an RT. Once you get a taste of power thats it, you'll want more. Hellcat is well worth it.
Congrats on the 10k. I’m 17 and I love Dodge and I was unsure if I should save for the RT or the Scat pack and thanks to the video I’m going to start saving for a Scat pack.
Just save money for a hellcat It’ll be worth it more and you won’t regret it
Ryseツ yeah I just looked up the 2 prices and it’s like a 20k difference and you get a supercharger in one so I’ll just save for the Hellcat.
I wouldnt even lie bro Im 18 with a jeep srt I was looking to get a rt but I waited nd I whoop tf out of rts🥱😂
Lawrence Betterson are you saving for a new Hellcat or used ?
Thanks bro I appreciate you!! Glad you found the video informative and good luck with the journey my man, let me know if you have any questions!
I would have thought that they would have giving the Daytona widebodys the same power as a red eye from factory dodge is weird w these numbers like it’d make sense since it’s a limited production model
The 5.7L Gen lll Hemi was revised believe in '09, and like all Hemis there reliable if you take care of them. Also note that you can make 400HP with the 5.7 like in the Ram's if you swap the cams. If you didnt know the cam in a 5.7 Hemi is different in the anything else other than the Ram; which is bigger everything else its smaller. So if you put the Ram cam in a charger Hemi it will get that extra HP just like in the Rams, AND BEST PART IT DOESN'T VOID THE WARRANTY BC ITS A MOPAR PART!
Eman the Great how much does that cost
@@kevuchiha3034 the part i believe is somewhere around ~$800, and the installment price depends on the place who does it. When i did it back in 2019 i got the part for $700 and the dealer installed it for $1,500 since i had a good relationship with them they said normally they would charge $2,000 for installation.
Dwain you are right - why is it so important to want more than the 375 for normal city driving? I DO NOT plan on abusing the car like this guy wants to do. I live in a densely populated city environment and do not need a racing car / scatpack. This guy makes me want a regular RT and treat it properly. This guy has to grow up. He’s an overgrown child.
I currently own a 2019 charger RT plus and what I can say is it’s definitely a steppingstone muscle car it’s a fun car and it’s decent horsepower but not enough to keep up with the other muscle cars so therefore you’re better off getting a Scat pack I wish a year ago I wasn’t being so hardheaded and just went with the scat pack because I have dumped almost 3 grand into my charger putting the 309 gear Long tube headers and intake and exhaust and exc
Go with the scatpack from a Charger rt owner 🤙🏾
That would be dope with 6.2hellcat on top of the charger keychain
