Chrysler 300C vs Charger Scatpack Widebody! Which is the better car to own?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 чер 2024
- I compare the 2023 Charger Scatpack Widebody to the very limited 2023 Chrysler 300C and tell you which is the better car to own. Both of these fantastic sedans come equipped with the 6.4 liter hemi and tons of great features. Despite the many differences they are surprisingly similar to dive. Which car would you prefer to drive?

I got the 2023 300C 6.4L in white and I couldn't be happier. I ordered a Hellcat last year also and they were charging me 25K over sticker but the 300 I took at MSRP. Just as the Chargers and Challengers these 300's are completely modifiable. I'm keeping my car for a very long time and I have a blast every time I drive it
Happy for you bro✊🏼🙏🏼
@@ChrisMenendez609 Thx brotha 💯
I’d Hellcat swap the 300C once the warranty is up lol
@@sstevocamaroAbsolutely agree..
I am based in South Africa. Congratulations 🎉boss
My daughters first car was a 2021 Chrysler 300S V6 I helped her get and it was an amazing car! 37MPG on a trip we did from NC to FL and it was very comfortable... Well she totaled it 3 months after purchasing it do to someone running her off the road putting her upside down in a ditch, she walked home from the accident Un hurt... Car was a very safe car and the tropper said the build showed cause if it was a POS it would of been in pieces along the road..
Love your Channel and the fact you seem to be honest and just a genuine nice guy...
Walked home from accident? She lucky she made it home
Always appreciate how tough these Mopers cars are…….glad your daughter made it ok 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I have a 23 C and love it. Chargers are a dime a dozen so I feel like I have something different. A big plus is the higher rear roofline and door entry for rear passengers as well. Having the adaptive suspension,all the SRT gear and a nicer interior for a price less than an identically equipped Charger is a no brainer.
Reason is because they look better... want better interior get a 300 want better outside looks charger... 300 is hideous on the outside.. just opinion not hate
The 300’s are nice but my 305’s with six piston brimbo’s in the front are a game changer so not the same at all. However I agree that the 300C for the money is a better value, if you don’t care about the big tires and bigger front brakes.
@jwp882000 facts! I'm running 315's. No way could I go to the 300C with 275's
@@lmjames33 good point. Makes sense.
@jwp882000 I made a mistake. It says the 300C is 20x9 wheel with 245/45/20's. That is awful 😖. Top speed is 160. My widebody 392 Charger top speed is 175. Same motors but less power in the 300C
I ordered a 23 C and took delivery in August. It's my 4th LX and I absolutely love it. I had planned to order a 6 speed Widebody Shaker Challenger before the 23 C came out. No regrets...such awesome cars. The Laguna leather seats, leather dash and door panels, and other trim inside make the C feel MUCH plusher than the Dodges inside.
That 300 is Beautiful in Black 🖤
At this stage in the game I would rather buy the 300C, everywhere you look you see a Chager 😒 they are to common now, that 300C will be more valuable in the future with so little production, will be very rare.
And love the interior of the 300C
I LIKE THE 300C BETTER
I love my 300c!! Favorite car I've ever owned. Other ones I used to own 75 Vette, 74 camaro, 2003 Mercury Merauder.
Also, my 300c is gloss black.
Great choices and great color. I too had a Mercury Marauder, a 04’ Silver Birch. Sold it and got a Charger RT and added a Widebody Redeye too for weekends. I’m thinking about trading my RT for a 300C while I still can. Beautiful car!
@LSp8 thats awesome! Yeah, the Merauder was a hot one. I wouldn't take anything away from an R/T.
You Def have taste in vehicles
Great video bud! I would have picked option number 3. A Scat Pack WB Challenger. 😉Hope you get your Demon 170 soon. Happy Birthday, Sr. X!
Thanks buddy.. I hope it comes soon as well
YES!!!! Always a great day when RacerX uploads🎉
I would rather buy the 300c.
I found a new 2023 Chrysler 300c just recently and love it! Traded my ‘22 Challenger GT for it. I’ve had 2 Dodge Chargers, purchased all of them new, but in my opinion, this 300c is the best of the MOPARS! Going to keep this luxury hot rod sedan.
Happy Birthday RacerX senior!!🎊 🎉
Just the video I was waiting for! I love that they finally put the 6.4 in the 300!
Great comparison Racer x.
Happy Birthday Papa x.
I just got the exact same white widebody charger last month I've been loving it, the 300C is clean asf though
Thanks! Spot on! Another great video!
Thank you Gary.. really appreciate your support as always! Super Thanks gang 🤜🏼🔥
300 is very nice but I love the Widebody look of the charger with the intake.
Happy Birthday RacerX Sr.
If they made a awd 392 300 I wouldn’t even have my hellcat.just build the internals and get a pickup .
Happy Birthday Racer X Dad!!!
just discovering your videos, great material! i custom ordered my '22 widebody scatpack charger from the factory. i skipped every bell and whistle, except for the performance parts.
they let me sneak out of the dealer with my name on the sticker for under 60k. it's the best automotive purchase of my life.
looking forward to seeing more 🙏
I did the same thing and love it. Sucks that Dodge killed these hemi’s though
I'm a 300c owner... I like its under the radar
I got a black 300c as a rental. It was fast as I passed around slower cars on two lane highways on our travel.
Grandpa X is a 300c owner like me, Happy birthday OG!
Thanks for the great review! I wish didn't have such tunnel vision in regards to my 22 Charger ScatPack Widebody that I ordered and bought about 1yr ago. I would seriously have considered the 300C, instead. I really like this car and they sold out quick... They are hard to find on lots out here in California. Paul, Please convey my Birthday wishes to your Dad. 'Happy 70th Birthday to you, Dad!!!'
I hope that 'Dad' had a great day!!🥂🍾🎂
There’s one ☝️ in West Covina for 55 k all black ,it’s a dodge dealer ship also
Idk who says its a grandpa car, because that one is not. That car can literally be anything you want it to be. That's why I love it.
I’d take the 300C in this comparison. It’s a bit cheaper for a bit more quality, and a bit more rarer.
I really like and want the 300C! good comparison video, too.
300 c hands down thx for another great perspective
AwesomeX《☆》Nice Comparo Brother👍🍺🤳I'd go for the 300C. It's easier to park😁👉🛳I'm getting close the ol 7zero myself. Happy Birthday Pops✌️😎☯️
300 is classy but at the same time muscular!!
Charger slaps you in the face and says MUSCLE BABY!!
Love them both but the 4 door we have is the 300 albeit a S model with the 5.7 Hemi wifey drices...(and a Challenger SRT for myself yes Hellcat but also a 69-70 Charger 440&383 in the 70 and older 60's and early 70's C bodies,B bodies and a single E body I rebuild engines my cousin does body restorations)
The 300C definitely! I’ve had a widebody scat before and loved it, however my 300c gives me all the fun factor; but can blend in and be stealthy. Plus if you’re comparing a 23 charger scat , you get more features at a lower price with the 300C.
Both great but not sure how it isn’t more fun to have the 305’s and bigger front brakes
@@jwp882000 after having the widebody, you can tell the car feels heavier. I have 275/40/20 pilot sport 4s tires on my 300c and it feels a lot more nimble than the widebody.
Not a widebody sir. A 23 widebody scat is definitely priced higher than the 300C.
@jwp882000 245's are awful if you have a 6.4. No way in the world is that beating me with 315's. 245's might as well be bicycle tires. Lmao 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
You think 315 would be good for a 2018 Daytona?
Charger was a better looking car in the 70s had a more full body so I wood say the body style on the 300c looks bad ass grate looking car inside out 👍
Great Video..thx
This is my 3rd LX...First two were Challengers, I love my Ol' Man, 4 Door Sedan. Got lucky and Found a Brite White 2023 300C someone ordered and passed on it (Looney Duck) 😜😎. Getting Groceries In Classy Style and FAST !!!
It's terrible how the entire muscle/pony car sector is being erased. Wonder how long we will have the Mustang? Sorry, EVs doesn't get it.
Definitely getting the 300c. I had a 2017 300c platinum with the hemi and loved it
And Off We Go🔥🔥🔥
Happy B-Day pops!!, My daughter's birthday is today also!
Widebody hands down
Limited 2,000 made the 300C is my choice... Lower price, rarety and better investment value all arround !
I'd take he 300 C, for sure. All of the Mopars are outdated but I like the classier yet still aggressive look of the 300.
They're not outdated. It feels good a lot of strangers know I'm in a sports car , and they know I can smoke their vehicles
@@captainamericaandcaptainma3337 outdated but iconic. It’s definitely time for a refresh.
@@captainamericaandcaptainma3337they’re 100 percent outdated but yes you can beat the average car on the road but anything close to ur figures you get smoked by other brands
@@billnye5183 We scatties people got the best sports cars around. We beat more than just average cars. Anything close get clapped too. Why do you think people can't afford to buy like it you? Y'all just rather go buy a 2 door mustang just for $23k🤣🤣🤣
I have my hellcat, but I would love to have that Chrysler 300C as a commuter that would be fantastic
Same here, a 300C would look great in my garage next to my Redeye
Does that dealership work with or owned by courtesy ford and courtesy dodge in Conyers, GA?
I give big kudos to Stellantis for letting the styling teams give each vehicle a distinct look between the 300, Charger and Challenger.
Idk if that’s a joke or not but I wouldn’t give it to stellantis when 2 of those cars where first released during the dimler Chrysler era and the challenger came during the fiat Chrysler days before they became stellantis and the current designs are from when it was still fiat Chrysler and then to be honest these two are obviously the same cars with slight differences
@@coltontroxler934 Daimler Chrysler for those wondering; Anyway- give credit to Fiat & then FCA, or more importantly their CEO Sergio Marchionne (rip). He saw the value in saving Mopar as a whole, also greenlighted the upgrading of the existing cars to make them more competitive as well as driving improved quality control to get these cars somewhat reliable overall. Sergio was also responsible for pushing the engineers in developing what became the beloved Hellcat, making them go back to the drawing board several times for either inadequate horsepower and/or inadequate reliability. He sadly passed in July 2018, and unfortunately with him died the insane next-gen L-cars that were a priority until the Stellantis merger(2023+ m.y. under Sergios plan). What was in store for next-gen L cars truly would've expanded on all that we loved about the current vehicles. Lighter weights, far better interior materials/layouts, and retention of V8 engines- likely Gen III family still at launch, but new lightweight aluminum multi-valve engines would show up for that generation. In 2018 FCA was speaking of continuing the HEMI branding/architecture moving forward, but we will never know what would've been... That is unless Stellantis CEO Carlo Tavares changes course at some point and gives Mopar enthusiasts what they really want- a new modern V8 that can go toe-to-toe with the best out there. I will say this- if Stellantis can actually start selling cars that have some efficiency in numbers, they may just create the breathing room needed to launch a new V8 family just for the halo cars. They will however not be paying penalties or buying credits from Tesla just to sell 60k V8s a year. That was the problem ultimately ended Mopar passenger car V8's this time around. Ford and GM sell plenty of small, efficient vehicles that allow them to indulge in the fuel-sucking V8's we all love. Dodge unfortunately stopped selling normal cars, and that's what killed the HEMI in the end.
300C all the way!
Happy Birthday OG
I just bought a 23 300c and I went with it because it’s not as common as the rest of the HEMI’S. Going to do full internals heads cam headers and full exhaust with a Magg Super Charger
I love my 2006 300C SRT8. It's proven itself to very reliable.
"Happy Birthday Mr. DadX !" 🥳 I would take the sleeper 300C. Great video RacerX. 😁👍
Thanks buddy
I love and admire the 300C. I own a 300S 5.7L - very pleased with it. Dealer service department? I've had to resort to a local independent shop.
I was going to order one of those 300C in all black during the pre-order. At the last second, I did not press submit. I have always wanted one, just never bought it.
A big happy birthday to your dad!!🎉
I love mine. It’s luxurious & powerful.
I would go for 300C. I don’t see many on the streets. Widebody Chargers are plentiful.
I cant lie as much as i love a widebody charger ima go chrysler 300C. Just for the simple fact you never going to see them on the road. It got that rare feeling to it. you see scatpacks everywhere.
My brother was given a 300 by our grandmother for his first car. It's such a ballsy car. Even with the V6. Really a shame they're doing away with it for now.
i had a chrysler 300 2008 with a v6 and i fell in love with chryslers i really want a 2023 c man i started working so i might just give up years of my life just to finance one
300C
RacerX, Love my 2023 300C! All the litlle pissing and moaning about thios car is rediculous! However I cant seem to find or activate linelock...Is it in this vehicle?
It is now for the wide body 6 piston in back and now it’s 4 piston from the 2018 Demond started in 2021
I just noticed they took the vents for the back passengers out for no reason in the charger. Had two chargers that had the back vents. Crazy since the price is almost 70k
That’s crazy. I know what u mean. My 41k Charger RT is a 2015 and has a rear seat armrest with a little compartment and lighted cupholders. My 90k 21’ Redeye does not have a rear armrest at all lol. Also my 15’ has a locking gas cap with a release button on the drivers door. 21 doesn’t lock 🤦🏾
Hey, Racer X….that’s a great comparison with the 300C and the Scatpack WB. They are pretty much the same car….I mean, they check the same boxes. The 300C is a little more luxurious, more elegant, even when the Charger is decked out. The Scatpack WB is much more sportier and Muscle Car looking, even when the 300C has the same engine. I’m pretty sure that the difference in tires, brakes and aerodynamic design makes the Charger a little faster, and of course, it’s the most sought after car in the Market…but….MAN….almost 13K difference??? It’s not that the Scatpack WB decked out isn’t worth it….it’s that WHY would I spend 13K more for just about the SAME car, specially if I’m NOT a Rich Guy? If you’re just a regular working man, with a Job, even a good paying Job, and without a UTube Channel…it’s a no brainer! I’ll make the Exception with the Daytona 392 if I could get it around 58K, even if that meant loosing the widebody. I just love the Daytona too much. (I have the 5.7L). But between the 300C & the Scatpack WB, the 300C is the Best Package for the Price, and it will also be the most limited of the editions. 😎⚓️
Happy birthday racerx dad
300C picks up smoother, sounds nicer, would pick it over the Scat
300c is better and more rare only 2,200 made and there’s like 20k plus scat packs wb are made
Currently own a regular 392 and to be honest if the 300s came in a 6.4 when I bought my 392 I would have choosen it over the Charger. I love both but always thought the 300s looked better and more refined. Like you said, great to do business in and Im business minded.
You better keep that charger boy after all that money you invested to get it. That charger is a life long vehicle
@@captainamericaandcaptainma3337 why do you say that ?
@@slicelol1463 It's true
300c just becasue chargers are everywhere.
Also the 300c has the adjustable pedals, which the scat pack doesn’t have….
The 300 C doesn't have adjustable pedals...I own one.
@@jasonemmett7424 I have a 2023 300c it has the adjustable pedals…
Its definitely fitting that they sent off the 300C with the big 392 seeing that the 300 was one of the earliest cars to have the Hemi. A few other cars had versions of it prior but the 300 had a beefy ass Hemi in 1955. Gotta send the 300 out proper. Been debating about getting rid of one of my other cars or the 2014 300 SRT8 for one of these last calls but i'm sure all 2200 of em have been accounted for
Great comparison ....I looked at both the 300 and the charger , I just preferred the more mature feel of the 300. but strangely the deciding factor was that the ride in the back of the charger felt a little claustrophobic where in the 300 it felt airy and spacious. Getting a 4 door assumes you'll have passengers in the back seats and on a road trip the 300 is a better place to be....it was close though.
I got the red 300c can’t go wrong power and a lil more luxury..
Wish you would’ve mentioned what kind of drive modes the Chrysler has. But great video regardless
Auto mode that allows for the MDS to run, sport, track and custom. Also has the adaptive suspension and active exhaust.
I’m seriously thinking about adding one to my collection. I ordered a 23’ Charger Redeye-Jailbreak and got totally f-cked over on the price. Went from MSRP to 40k ADM and told my dealer to have a nice day! I saved and got a 21’ Redeye for just 78k and couldn’t be happier. I thought about getting a SPWB for a daily but they been wanting way too much for those too. A 300C is the perfect alternative and has way more bells and whistles, much better interior, even a lovely Panoramic roof and astonishingly cheaper! With the money I saved with getting a 21 Redeye from a private seller I can comfortably have both as long as I don’t get price gouged again. Having a 1/2200 well equipped car for just 55k would be a sweet deal!
If you want to swap out the selector switch on the charger and 300 just swap them out. The plugs are identical. Same thing just cosmetic.
I'll take the 300 please
Not a fan of Chrysler/Dodge, but the 300C does look good.
🏆Racer X 🏆🍀😎✌️
🎉Happy birthday🎂to your dad 70 🍀 years young 😎✌️
Nothing compared to the 12-14 300srt !!! That’s the car to have💪🏼
We have a 2013
300 SRT 8 392 with 9100 miles kept in the garage driven enough to keep it maintained.
What some people did not know is you can access launch control.
The Goodyear tires needed to be changed.
Before I changed them I ran a 3.8 0 to 60.
They did not hook well.
I have yet to test with the new tires, I'm guessing 3.6
First as always
What a huge accomplishment😂 I never quite understood why people do this
I believe your tag showed the 300C ended production in 2010. Actually, the last year for 300C with the standard 5.7 Hemi was model year 2020. Comparing the two cars. With the exception of the side seat bolstering and carbon fiber appointments. The interior is identical to past top of the line 300C models. Est weight is around 4200 lbs
You're right, I sold my 2013 300 C John Varvatos Edition just before taking delivery of my 23 C, and the specs are basically identical.
The only luxury or safety thing my 23 has that my 13 didn't have is lane keep assist.
Both models are the same thing. Do you like the luxury version or the sporty one? There is a slight difference with the Challenger. But all three are the same platform concept.
I'd def go with the 300C,Too me I like the more"Sleeper"Feel of it,Plus it's like 20k cheaper at least ALL DAY LONG! I'm a lil biased though having just got a 14 300C with the 5.7 Hemi,My next Will Def be a SRT8 300 or Even this 300C Someday!IGreat Comparison 🤘👍
Take that 12k saved via getting the Chrysler amd put it in a twin turbo set up 😎
The 23’ 300c is $72k in my area
I don’t think you could go wrong either way. I have a 2023 Scatpack Widebody and absolutely love it. My first Dodge coming from a Shelby GT-350.
0-180 time?
I would go with the 300C because it's the last year but it really would of been nice if they could made it a optional AWD but of course...more money...very nice very RACER X👍👍
I have a 300c srt8 6.1L hemi running 425 horsepower still think the 6.1L hemi needs cridet running same power as old school 426 Hemi an I really like first generation I think the boot ends on the new crysler are a tad big an fronts lights look better as well on first crysler
I was thinking of getting a 23 WB Scat Charger, but with all the markups- was lucky to find a beautiful velvet red pearl 23 309C 392 for under sticker and bought it, fast! First time test driving a 300C and I was laughing and smiling. A definite sleeper when on the road and an absolute beast for performance fun with luxury interior and options. A great combo!
Great video I had a WB scat luv that car but have always been a fan of the 300. I wanted Chrysler to put the 6.2 in it, but I'm happy with the 6.4. People are whining about 160 on the dash and 245 tires that you can easily replace. The 300C interior is much nicer 300C all day.
They both have the 6.4L engine but I notice the 300C has only 160 on the dash. That's the only thing that's stopping me from purchasing one. Can anyone explain? Thanks 🙏🏼
Top speed for 6.4 is 170
@@ehxoz6365 So 300C only got 15 more mphs than the 300S 155mph? Must be a speed limiter. Kind of stupid considering it's the same exact Engine as the Scat which has 180 on the dash!
At least the main speedometer is the digital one and that’ll pick up where the analog 160 leaves off. That shouldn’t be a show stopper tho
@@LSp8 Not sure what you're trying to say it has another speedometer that will read above 160?
I'd take the 300 and debadge it, maybe put a "300S" badge on it instead. It would attract far less attention than it's Charger counterpoint and I wouldn't have as high of a chance of being robbed. Crazy that I have to even say that, being targeted for the car you drive is genuinely a concern now.
I have a 300 that I put a HHP 6.4 in so people still think it is a 5.7. I get no looks on the street from racers or cops. Then I shock the heck out of them. A Grand Cherokee SRT thought I was a 5.7 and got a big surprise. Nothing like low profile!
It’s so sad and pathetic! These brokies & hoodrats put way more effort into stealing from ppl than just working legitimately and buying their own shit. Ppl like us work hard to enjoy the fruits of our labor and do shit the right way , save money, build credit, work everyday, spend wisely, pay our bills on time, maintain registration & insurance and we gotta ride with pistols in our lap just to go to the store with these cars🤷🏾
KILLUH‼️ YA☝️
If Dodge could put the 300 interior inside the charger, including the sunroof, it would be amazing!
You can add sun roof
@@captainamericaandcaptainma3337they should’ve came with the 300’s panoramic roof, they cost enough and they might as well have had them. Even the 200 had it!
Indeed! The panoramic roof would’ve been great on the Charger too
Agree charger is beautiful looking but interior sucks.
I just took home a new 392 last call 23’ 300C. The interior is way better than both my RT & Redeye (even has black Hellcat seats with “300C” logo embossed on the seat backs. I love the blue in the gauges & screen and wish the Charger had it instead of the red. I’m glad to have both but given a choice I’d have the 300 dash in both
I would but the 300c
I wouldn't mind having a new 300C 6.4, but my 2006 300C 5.7 already puts down 413HP/418TQ to the tire, so there isn't much of a point, other than to have the new amenities and maybe better reliability. But we're comparing a $8,000 car vs a $56,000 car...
Time for you to upgrade
@@captainamericaandcaptainma3337 Sure, let me pull 50K out of my ass, or have a $1000/mo car payment just to have a car that puts down the same amount of power. I like having the title and a $0 car payment. I already have a new car. Don't need another. If you run an $56,000 car into a wall at the strip, you're stuck paying on a car you don't even have anymore. Insurance will tell you to pound sand. You send an $8,000 car into a wall that you OWN, well, you just shrug and write it off.
3rd Place 🥈
Is that a Bumble Bee in the Grill of the Charger scatt pack?? Just wonder what that is??
Yes.
300C for sure. With much fewer 300s out there, we won't see them plastered all over bottom tier apartment complexes in disrepair like we already do with Chargers. I used to love Chargers/Challengers, but lately they are rivaling Altima's & Mustangs in negative reputation.
I don’t know where you are looking but nowhere do I see $60k+ WBSP in any form at bottom tier apartments. As the 300 is cheaper your argument doesn’t hold up, if you are basing it on affordability/income.
@@jwp882000 Just because you can't understand something doesn't mean my comment doesn't hold. As said, there are far fewer 300s being manufactured. Yes, a decades worth of used Chargers, just like Altimas, already litter the bottom tier apt complexes commonly beat up or uninsured. The vast majority of the population which are not enthusiasts don't see/care any difference between that $60k charger someone over paid on and a 10 year old run down SXT. It really 'cheapens' their image whether you like it or not.
@@mikedaleiden7725thanks Mike. I thought the article was comparing 300’s to WB’s so I guess everyone but you misunderstood the entire premise of the article. I know it’s tough alway being the smartest person online but you are doing a great job managing the pressure.
