The audio in this video was recorded with in-ear binaural microphones. If you wear headphones, your mind won't be blown, but it will go, "woah, that's cool."
I'm also the producer for the Winding Road UA-cam Channel:

Here on TheTopher, I'm known for putting a camera on my face and driving cars. Whether it's about any of my personal cars or reviews on weekly press vehicles, the goal is to give you an idea of what a certain car is like to drive or live with. Most of my videos are filmed in POV, with my clothes on, and (for like the 5th time) with in-ear binaural audio. Which, if I haven't made it clear yet, is why you should wear headphones. Because of the whole "woah" factor. It's there, trust me. Try it, it's pretty nuts. Or don't. As long as you whitelist me on your adblocker I'm okay with whatever you do or don't do with regards to headphone usage. That is all. Oh and I guess you should also probably subscribe. Why are you still reading this, you should be watching the video. With headphones! Hah, had to sneak that in there one more time. Later!
It seems that this is one of few channels that reviews modern cars and doesn't spend 5 minutes rambling about lane assist and GPS navigation options, and actually talks about how it FEELS to drive. Subbed!
@Alexander Joshua why are you talking about a movie streaming service two years after i commented on a car video
When this comment was posted it was a big deal
The widebody makes the Challenger look so badass.
MrRaymo88 you should look up a comparison it is a huge difference
They could've reduced the tires down to 285s all around instead of 305s. I feel 305s is a bit too much. Especially for the front. Because its gonna add on extra rolling resistance, rolling weight, and costs for the tires
You dont buy a widebody and expect it to be cheap lol if you do you dont need a widebody
Why not save money and aftermarket these?
@@devildogentertainment4904 well you need to also get spacers which isn't good for the rotors and wheels, and if you want the adjustable suspension, you have to get the widebody package
grinding for this right now 🤞🏽
jkoolii im with you bro 👀 aiming to get one around my 23rd birthday, which is about 6 months from now
Hunter M i just seen u can lease a hellcat widebody 18’ for 600 a mo and a hellcat charger 18’ for 500 a month so it got me thinkin 😂😭
@@jkoolii Cause the prices for maintenance and gas is what you really pay for on these.
Based God only thing im worried abt is insurance bc i live in michigan sadly
Don’t forget about the insurance mate
"Andd we're low on fuel" *Proceeds to push it around the corner lmaoooo
They will pass anything but a gas pump.
16 MPG is what I get on average with mine and that is premium only kind of sucks until you hit the throttle!
LeDouché James hell no its 4k lbs i say get fuel lol
I have to say you’ve become my #1 channel for reviews seems like you have no bias toward other brands and that’s huge to me and you actually drive the cars the way they were designed to be driven so I’m subscribing great reviews strait to the point no freaking Music and no long intros Lol.
MOPAR2U same opinion. this is a totally unique concept. moreover, the videos are recorded binaurally which gives you realistic sound
Unfortunately, for me saying that this car compares to a Miata is absolutely foolish. This car wouldn't to hold candle to an ND when it comes to attacking corners. They're two different purpose cars entirely.
I am 99% sure this will be my next car. I have owned 4 new mustangs in my life time. I still love the mustang, but this car is bad ass! I would have to go with the leather interior, I won't pay 55K for cheap ass alcantara. First mods will be tint and having those wheels chromed. Enjoyed the video, keep up the great work!
Ronald Jones no chrome wheels but sounds goo
Yeah bro forget the chrome wheels lol
Get headers or intake instead lol
Ronald Jones chrome wheels 😂😂
Alcantara comes with the leather seats mate. If not, you have to go with the cloth seats
You can opt for the full leather package, but 99.9% of dealer stock will have the leather/alcantara sport seats.
As much as I love a manual, I'd probably go for the automatic. City I live in is now bumper to bumper traffic. I live 10 miles from work. It's now a 45 minute commute and I counted 350 gear changes on a trip last week.
I don't regret getting the automatic for a minute. I've had enough "manmissions" as daily drivers in my life. I've also got adaptive cruise control, which you can't get in the manual, and won't own another daily car without it either.
John Capozzi smart fintch
I can't lie...that car looks amazing. 👍
WhiteRice don’t lie.. and clean your room
Come on FCA, I need my wide body Charger...
its coming for 2020 scat pack and hellcat models
Austin F are you gunning for one now? Haha
i just bought my B5 blue scat pack widebody A8 and I truly love it !!! just coming from a 16 B5 blue hellcat and that car was stupid fast but this car is well rounded no regrets. this is my 5th late model challenger and by far my favorite. !!!!
The color is amazing 😍
as you were driving, and you said that you were running outta fuel, i kept telling myself "DRIVE TO A GAS STATION FOR PETE SAKE!" and then you proceeded to drive the piss outta the car. lol
Ha. I was like...he must be turning into a gas station now! Nope!
@@wmc540 exactly. He's a trick😅😅
I own a scat pack, and they dont use that much fuel driving normal.
@@leehancock2782 well that's good. Because I've been debating on a 345 or a 392
@Pharoah Monk hea but I'm 19 and the insurance will dry dock me. And the gas mileage. Plus I just test drove the 2019 chalky rt and the pull force was insane to me. I've never felt a pull force like that before - especially from an entry v8. If the 345 was that powerful, I cannot imagine how the 392 would feel. But you are right. It's best to shell out the extra cash for the big one instead of cheating out and then laughing now, cry later
I honestly enjoyed this review because you were straight forward and you talked about important points that most people want to hear in a review and you weren’t boring rambling about boring shit like other reviews. Thanks to you I’m planning on getting one probably not wide body but still man just subbed!👍🏽
Of course its not a challenger without that reliable ⛽ sign after you start it.
The purple really suits the car. I quite like it.
This is the best Challenger Skat Pack video, and I've watched dozens, excellent POV, amazing and so fun acceleration shots, you rocked this video- good job.
Oh and btw, I want your car in F8 green w/ 2 black stripes, and I need the manual trans.
Might hold out till the 2020 comes out but this near 500HP Challenger widebody is my choice bc I think a hellcat would tempt me towards a skiddish demise. 717HP I don't think so but nearly 500HP oh hell yeah! I'm so sold.
If gas is you’re concern, you’re on the wrong channel, I’ve had T/A’s, Formula 350’s back in the 70’s 80’s & 90’s driven vets, BMW’s & AMG’s, driven a Hellcat, but hands down, drove a 2023 Challenger Scat Pack, WB/SHAKER, from Central Florida to Palm Beach, I-95, hands down best 2.5 hours of 40+ years of muscle pleasure that I can remember! Hence the reason, I bought a Challenger 2023 WB/Scat Pack. Luv this car, & the Scat is the sweet spot of the Challengers.
SMILES PER GALLON! Actually had the chance to buy a used 2019 wide body in destroyer grey color. Has a rear after market diffuser & quad exhaust w/a after market air intake. Bumped it up to about 500hp! This car is so fun, beautiful, comfy, a head turner & has a ROAD presence LIKE no other car out! 🤷🏽♂️👍🏽🥂🙇🏽♂️
Man I hope the manual box is good in this car because I think i'm in love with just about everything other than that auto
goose not so good
The manual is amazing. The clutch felt lighter than a Camaros clutch. Also, the gearshift action is awesome, and feels mechanical and solid. The other person who replied to your comment doesn't know what he's talking about.
Anyways, I'd recommend you to take a test drive before plonking any cash on any car.
Cheers
Yeah thanks for that, read similar things on a few other websites, it seems to be a pretty solid.
heavy clutch , vauge shifter on my scat
@@amitamir1413 will hopefully get fixed after the first service
I drove a scat pack challenger, charger and 392 Durango on Sunday at the auto show. The challenger was BY FAR, MY FAVORITE!
The fuel economy should be decent (for a V8) when driving it normally... you know, not flooring it every 30 seconds haha.
Love the spoiler,the color,the wheels,and the Superbee emblem
I bought a manual scat pack instead and it is a ton of fun no regrets. I also got the opportunity to drive an automatic i have to say the auto feels 2x times more responsive when shifting but it takes the fun away from the engagement aspect like you said.
😍 my god this car is all I can see , I will strive for this car
Mayli Vasquez I got one I’ll pick you up 😏 lmao
highly immersive sound experience like i'm co-pilot inside. I wonder why so few videos are recorded with binaural mics in this age.
Gorgeous car!! The stock exhaust sounds awesome also. A friend of mine has a 16 charger scat pack. The 8 speed transmission makes a big difference between the older ones. I had a 12 charger srt.
You just got my subscription man, well done video! You made me fall in love with the challenger again :)
I'm finally getting to watch this!! My car is in the shop with $2300 in damages that happened Sunday, and I'm finally home, thank god so now I can watch more of your videos haha.
Only thing I'd have to do is throw some straight pipes, long tubes, and air ride on it. But damn, it already looks insane!
It sounds even better with mid muffler delete. First mod I did on mine. Also add the dynamic package. That adds wider tires and 6 piston brembos.
This and the Hellcat are the meanest, most menacing looking muscle cars ever
Should of kept transmission in track mode. Shifts go from 400 to 160 milliseconds. Otherwise awesome video!
should have*
sh'dve
Awesome review couldn’t agree with you more... I have a 16 Hellcat and want this more for all the reasons you stated.. 👍🏻
08:33 - From what I understand, it used to be that only the SRT Challenger had the adjustable suspension. Interesting. Thanks for the video.
Great review! As I watched this I quickly realized I live about a mile from where you are filming!!! I have a 2018 Widebody hellcat (Destroyer Grey) and love it!!!
I’m glad that dodge is was smart to keep that old school muscle car tradition rather than the mustang or camaro. The challenger is the true ultimate American muscle car than the mustang or camaro. Dodge really knows how to power a big boat because they make the best v8 engines with superchargers that can beat a Lamborghini. Dodge even upgraded the TCM which is the transmission control module so that it can shift faster and downshift automatically when you hold the paddle downshifter, it acts like a dct even though it’s the traditional automatic transmission. Also the challenger is more practical because it has more cargo space and the rear passenger side is more bigger than the mustang or camaro. The rear passengers will be more comfortable and more pleasant in the challenger rear passenger seats than in the mustang or camaro because the rear passengers will be uncomfortable in the mustang or camaro rear seats because it’s smaller. So that’s why dodge is the best American sport car. Good job dodge 👍🏼
I saw one yesterday at late night and I just fell for it, it looks so INCREDIBLE in reality. I was planing to get the granite but after seeing this in reality I just don't need anything except the plum crazy! I hope my plan work so well that I get the car before this comment make it to a year from now. Wish me luck!
That color looks so sick!
Best POV yet this yr. Both day and night..great work!
Your not to far away from me I live in Saginaw lol, love this car.....the sound🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
I think the best thing about a wide body in the Challengers is that it handles way better....I have 2015 Scat and if I went how fast he went on a curve like that I would be dead probably
I love how he says every video he’s done with a challenger he burns a quarter of a tank but he also has his foot through the throttle every second almost
I didnt see you have sport mode on in the beginning. Ive driven my 16 scat since new with it on everytime i drive it, and currently have 32k miles on it. With sport mode the shift time is cut in half. It punches into gears hard with it on and makes it even more fun to drive.
Nice video man I love your down to business personality and good driving skills
My kind of reviewer. You driving
That trans gives this thing such a weird mix of an American v8 but sounds almost german with the gearchanges
Loving those new spoilers and the HellCat hood too!
did just fine in the winter in mine. pretty fun
i dont really like the color purple but i never thought it would look that crispy on this car.
Getting mine hopefully monday 😁 or sometime November happy af
Just picked up mine in Sinammon Stick color. LOVE this damn car.
Smiles per gallon... Can't put a price on pure street muscle fun! Careful, the Scat will possess your soul, and Track Mode is evil...lol
Can't decide between this, the Mustang GT, or the Camaro. I had made up my mind on the Camaro 2SS, but I really like this car.
Great review bro !
can put it in manual by pushing over the shifter. pretty fun in track mode.
UGH...i have a '17 charger scat and I've been considering getting a 911 or a GT350, but I think one of these with 6 speed would be badass
Can’t wait to pick mine up when it gets delivered soon. I went with the TA 392 widebody in pitch black. I might do a side stripe delete idk yet, when I see it I’ll decide to either live with it first or just take it right off before my ceramic coating. Who knows I might love it I’ve never seen on on the street before not even the narrow body TA.
awesome video! only wish it was longer. love the car
this is one awesome violently fast Dodge.
Working on getting one🤟🏾🤟🏾 Grinding don’t stop
There are some horribly expensive Pirelli Winter Sottozero winter tires in the factory size, 305/35R20. There are some other options too, Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32 in 295/35R20 would fit, and there is some more winter tire selection in the 275 and 285 sizes. Technically a 275/40R20 fits on a 20x11 rim, but it might look a bit stretched. Anyway, I love this car. I can't imagine parting with my 2016 Scat Pack 392, but I know this is what I'd get if I was in the market.
Im getting a 2019 Dodge challenger sxt black top edition soon
“37 degrees it’s kinda cold” lmao. As a Californian that is DAMN cold lol
0:19 - 0:30 bro yo shadow tall asf 😂😂😂
Never knew about that left paddle kickdown. I wonder if it works for the 2015.
It's a ZF/TorqueFlight thing, so yes, it does.
Gotcha.
Me either, bout to head out to test it out now
You, Sir, are a natural at this type of review! I love my Charger. Not quite this extreme but it's nonetheless a fun car! Thanks for your review!
Such a beautiful color and car. Sad they discontinued plum crazy for 2020 so I settled on Frostbite. Only an R/T but one day I'll trade in and step up. Really really want that color though!
A muscle car worth buying, especially the widebody.
Yes indeed she drinks gas I'm amazed also my 392 drinks more gas then my SS SNAILBLAZER
Thanks for the video mate!
Great video, thanks.
I really love that color!
I like the car because of the fact it has usable power, unlike the hellcat you can rev it out and not get fined to shit and just enjoy it, fun car for sure.
So disappointed that they got rid of the SRT 392 for the R/T.
Trending 4 Solutions the SRT was basically a fake hell cat
@@user-pp9bl5gr1n shut up no it wasn't. It was around before the hellcat.
Trending 4 Solutions plus they didn’t get rid of the 392 if you look at the new Scats it’s basically a mixture of both cars...Scat badges with 392 features
@@user-pp9bl5gr1n The best of both worlds
You should take off the engine roof cover that's under the hood so the scoop in the middle would be put to use for the intake
Hey TheTopher Just subbed to your channel a week ago, LOVE THE CONTENT you do , also I use a lot of the cars you use in vids, in Forza Horizon 4! So yeah, keep up the good content.
cant wait cant wait cant wait
Damn it’s sexy.
As far as sound, I live near a 6-lane road that gets a lot of cars racing from the light. There's some nasty-sounding GT's running around but there is nothing like that 392 roar (Hellcat included of course). Especially when blasting through A8 gears.
Great video. Very detailed. Have you driven the manual? If so, what are your impressions?
Gonna wait a year to buy it used so I can get a better price, this car is sick but that price is astronomical. I know you're getting alot more in this model but it's still too high.
You can easily get into one of these new while staying in the 40s. Non-widebodies, like a TA 392, in the high 30s.
Great review!
Did he really just take that ramp to get onto the freeway at 60+ mph? In a R/T? Balls.
you could hear the tires sqealing and the wheel shaking! My man got steel balls!
Dinocrest I was in a demon and by the time we got to the end of the ramp it was already at 110 mph lol
With the wide body you get better grip and normal scat or srt would be fishtailing
this is the first video ive ever watched that called the challengers grip insane... or nimble or agile... lol
Idc how much money I have I’ll take a scatt over a hellcat any day, so much more practical
Wow that is so sick love the color🙀🙀🙀🙀
U should do the middle muffler delete.. I did to mine it sounds awesome
I feel like they should go with a new non outdated frame, don't get me wrong the Challenger is great as is, but it'd be really interesting to see what it could do with a whole lot less weight.
MB7 agreed!!!! Idk why they won’t do a light weight version of these and a new chassis.
And loose the timeless muscle car looks? No thanks
@@siddharthsharma8940 oh I definitely DO NOT want to lose the challenger's current look, but I do wanna see it go on a diet somehow
Well, you do get some benefits from that mass. The spacious interior, big comfortable seating, usable rear seat are all big deals, and that's all paid for with weight. The sense of solidity on the road is also hard to duplicate in a lighter car. Then there's the sheer physical presence they have. One could argue that the Challenger has been a success partly because of its weight, not in spite of.
I guess you're right, the Challenger IS meant to have huge presence, the biggest and baddest of all the muscle cars, maybe Dodge could whip up something else with that V8, and keep the Challenger as is
My average on my accord 2.0t 2018 is 16mpgs. Mind as well get this
Obtainable dream car car. Only 10grand more than what I drive now. But then I would need something for the winter..
Thanks for the great video getting to the point so many videos out there just bla bla bla nice review
The manual in these is eh. The clutch is super light with little feedback, more of an on/off switch. I somehow managed to stall the 392 TWICE in my first drive with it because I was not able to sense the bite point.
Ive heard people say they like the wide body Scat more than the wide body Hellcat because with the Scat you can better use its power
richard button you get good grip too, I test drove an SRT392 and i barely hit the gas and the tires were screeching ... it was a bigger difference witht the 305s in the widebody and it handles waaayyyy better
making the 2019 my weekend car. its too bad nobody tests the manual transmissions, thats what I want
God damn I want one in all White just like a modern kowalski would have.
Guys pause at 1:46 and tell me if this guy doesn't look like LinusTech Tips. He literally does!
I just bought a 2019 skat widebody , 8 speed go mango, l love it!
That’s a beautiful car!!
Great video. I want one!
Great! I will name her scattie
Love it
