The 5.7L RT is faster than 95% of the vehicles you will see on your daily commute (trucks, 6 & 4 cylinder Honda Accords ,Civics, Toyota Camry's, ect, ect). It will take the performance oriented vehicle to hang with or beat the RT.
What about coyote mustang gts. Eats dodges for lunch even at the scat pack level. Dodge needs a motor that's a clean sheet design. Only been small changes since the hemi has hit the market.
I'm a Challenger fan from way back. I have owned 5 old school Challenger's. Mainly with the 340 engine which is my favorite. At least the new Challenger's look a lot on the outside like the old school ones. I am very pleased with my 2017 R/T. Goes fast enough for me and I love the sound and appearance. I don't compare to other car manufacturers, because to me there is no comparison. 😁 Mopar or no car for me. Have owned a Mopar since I got my license at 16 years old. Will be 64 years old this year.
Absolute legend sir, I’m 17 and when I was 16 I got my first Mopar. I’m now a die hard Mopar fan and will be in the same position as you when I’m you’re age.
Intensenarwhal exactly, which doesn’t make sense to me when people call it slow lol its far from it. Its still fast, and on top of that the performance you get for the price is great especially used
I have a 06 Dodge charger RT and I really like it wish it had more power..only thing I have done is cold air and straight pipes..I really want to do a cam next
At the end of the day there's alot of cars out there that perform well so don't get to big of a head in ur hemi as a Kia or a Volkswagen wagon could make u wish u had invested in a scat pack or a hell cat.... & even in those higher horse powered cars there's likely something out there that's just a bit faster then u... facts
Let’s be honest the RT just lacks in the weight area it’s a beast it’s just too heavy..if it was the same weight as all the other v8 line ups half of the comments wouldn’t even be on here
What it really comes down to, is what you're using the car for, and if its "fast enough" for you. For some people, a 4.0 Mustang is enough. Any car with a snappy acceleration can be fun. Doesn't necessarily win the race, but its about personal preference.
Mopars are heavier,BUT, they are also much more comfortable,much more useable,and just really the perfect car of having your cake and eating it,Also as the chargers go,its a big family sedan that is put in a category with little pony /muscle cars.In my eyes thats a Huge compliment for charger owners.
I feel that the 5.7 R/T is a good overall car for beginners which is why I’m going to get one because of the fact that you can get one for less than 20K is awesome so really anyone can afford the R/T
This car is definitely more than fast enough as a daily driver. Most people isn’t going to the track often. It may not be as fast as some of the other cars in the comparison, but at least it sounds fast and better than a turbocharged 4 or 6 cylinder.
I love the R/T package. I rented them twice for long distance road trips and was pleasantly surprised by the performance, versatility, and fuel economy. Like all Chargers, they are roomy and good looking. Things were torquey and knocking down high 20’s mpg with cruise control set at 78 mph. A set of headers, CAI and a tune and you should be making 400HP. I specifically rented them because I was trying to decide on purchasing a HC Charger. I did.
Just got my 18 RT last month and am in love with it. Daily driving wise the only things that can really hang with me have been other RTs Nissan Platinum S's
I'm seriously considering an rt charger over a scat pack for a new daily due to insurance costs, not needing premium fire maker juice. I've ridden in scat packs, and they're a blast, but I don't need damn near 500HP.
My insurance didn’t change at all when I traded up the trim level from RT to Scat Pack. I can honesty say after it driving both, spend the little extra cash and get the scat! They are so phenomenal, and absolutely mind blowing, especially behind the wheel. My 392 never ceases to amaze me, but the RTs are great too!
svphobby I go through progressive, far as they’re concerned trim levels don’t matter, at least not on the chargers, they’re four doors. So technically my car through my policy is a four door family sedan. I pay $270 a month for full coverage on my 2017 scat at a 500 deductible, trading up from my 2016 RT. however my gpa for High School and College brings my rate down just a little. I highly recommend Progressive, they act extremely fast in regards to claims and after going through several companies I can honestly say their claim agents are unmatched. My rate didn’t raise at all, just took off my RT and added the Scat RT sitting in the dealership, they didn’t say a word. Didn’t even care about trim level beyond documentation. I can imagine for challengers it’s likely much more expensive, considering its classified as a sports coupe. If I had a challenger my rate would’ve sky rocketed
@@svphobby got a 2020 scat pack a month or so ago, insurance isn't as bad as I thought, but my agent did say "wow, is it super souped up? Because it has a high warning symbol that comes up". And yes, you need that almost 500hp. You don't have to use it all, but roll 40mph and mash the gas once in a while and watch your worldly problems disappear in the rearview
I've always been a big sound guy. The R/T sounds so good I would take it over any of those cars. Well maybe I'm biased because I have one 😆. It's also just such a good looking car imo
I love my paid off 15' Charger R/T. The 8-speed really really helps compared to the 5-speed in the 06-14s. The 5.7 Hemi "Eagle" has been in the Chargers/Challengers/300s/Grand Cherokees etc longer than any other engine, even the 3.6 and is #1 in Ram. Not the fastest obviously but it's a nice DD pkg that's served me well going on 7 years. They are also the #1 choice for the police "pursuit" pkg and I have a 13' assigned to me. For the price they are a real bargain and they can take lots of mods. I want a HCWB Redeye so bad but I can't beat Free $0!
After a used 2010, new 2014 and 2015 Mustang (all v6), I tried a scat pack and a rt challenger. The scat pack was scary fast, but fun. I ordered a 2021 Go Mango Challenger R/T with the Shaker and a rear seat delete. I think my Mustang days are behind me.
2 things: 1. The RT is a great value for money proposition especially used 2. I drove about 12 hours over the weekend (6 hour road trip each way) on those long hauls I saw plenty of challengers and chargers on the highway but no mustangs or camaros (at least that I can recall). The rts offer plenty of space, comfort, and great exhaust sound for not a lot of $$$
Just got my 2020 RT and the little kids in my neighborhood think I own a hellcat lol. Just goes to show that even though it's an RT it still looks and sounds great
I don’t mind that a 4 banger can keep up with an RT. I like the comparison’s but at the end of the day you cant beat the V8 sound. That alone is worth it to go with the Hemi or any V8.
Racer has the best reviews and info. I definitely can't speak for everyone but I can safely assume that many of us have the RT for road presence and the sound is absolutely phenomenal. I don't need to be the fastest dude on the road... just the coolest😎👍 Nice work Racer. You're king
The RT have enough power to have fun with . I think some guys try to downplay the RT when they own a scat or hellcat .. straight line a RT can’t get with a scat but with traffic you can keep up . I have a 18 RT and I love the pulls and the acceleration it’s enough to get busy . And I drive my cousin hell cat a lot to know the difference in power
I have a 2016 charger R/T, I’ve been had it for 5 years. Never had any problems with it and it’s a pretty good car. I recently just bought a 2019 challenger scat pack, man what a big difference.. 😂😂😂 I still love my R/T though, and I’m never gonna give it up ..
Awesome video! Me and my buddy just started our UA-cam channel Mopar RT’s! He has a 2018 Durango RT and I have a 2017 Challenger RT. You always enjoy watching the videos and your input on all the different models!
I have a 2020 R/T my first muscle car i have no complaints at all. Coming from electric car Kia Niro as my daily driver. The sound of the car and driving it is very fun. Its a very large car would be my only complaint lol.
Love my 2015 R/T Plus. I owned it since new. Warranty is over, been paid off so Last year I started some "Go Fast" mds and am wrapping it up this year (yeah right it never ends) with a Whipple Supercharger, Stall Converter 1 piece drive shaft, differential brace, larger diameter high flow cats and an OEM Hellcat Exhaust, having the Active Exhaust welded open and am having electric cutouts installed either right after the long tube header collector or right after the cats. Should be real fun as it puts 434 HP to the wheels now!
I don't think the R/T is slow at all especially for a daily driver. 4.7 second 0-60 (stock with decent tires) for a 4200+ lbs car is impressive to me. Wider rear tires should be manditory though because you'll have a hard time gripping without them.
@@viceed292 What? Scats are said to do around 4.2 0-60. I know some guys that have gotten around 3.8 in decent elevation and a good set of tires. After a good tune, ported throttle body, CAI and exhaust work I got a 4.4 0-60 with a 12.4 second quarter mile at the drag strip in my 2019 R/T when I had it. 12.7 was stock. 🤷🏾♂️ Not sure where you're getting your info from.
I love your channel and content. I am mostly here for the scat pack info however being a enthusiast I really enjoy your unbiased opinions and comparisons as I love learning about the competition and what’s out there and I think you do a amazing job at that
Owned a Charger. Best 4-door daily driver on the market. I’m a mustang guy but all around comfort, Charger wins. Even my S550 doesn’t compare in room and comfort. Charger cruises down the highway at 85 like your not even moving.
My last daily driver was a 500whp Supercharged Jag. Now, I'm going RT Challenger or Charger. For a daily driver, one could do a lot worse than an RT. Faster than probably 85-90 percent of most cars on the road.
I’ve got a MMD on my 19 rt chally sounds narly and is fast I love it! 5.2 and 13.8 is way off I know that’s what’s online but it’s not accurate. 4.6 0-60 and 13.0-13.1 quarter mile that’s what I get it’s freakin quick. Keep in mind I did this in early December in perfect conditions at lapeer dragway with launch control 3k rpms and dead hooked. On the street I average 4.8-4.9 0-60
5.2 to 60 is the advertised street time. If your getting 4.8-4.9 thats not way off. Better tires and a few mods would definitely have this car in the mid 4's to 60. The R/T is a great car, would love to have one as a daily driver.
Rez Law I have a video up now of a legit time for the r/t I ran a 13.0 which is the fastest on UA-cam !!! The DA was far from perfect I can go even faster!
This is a good video because it compared the R/T to other cars I wouldn't thought of. One could be in for a surprise racing turbo charged cars. They are highly tunable and with an investment of less than $1,500 you can turn a turbo car into a quick car. For example, with just a tune and a good set of drag radials, you can turn an Ecoboost into a 12 second car putting down about 370 horsepower and 400 foot pounds of torque. With bolt-ons such as a larger intercooler, downpipe, and upgraded turbos the Ecoboost is capable of running 11s and giving a Scat Pack a very competitive race. The turbo Camaro can be modded inexpensively and put down some impressive times. A better comparison for the Camaro might be with the V6 version. It puts down 335 horsepower and is the equal of the R/T in terms of performance. They can be modded in a similar fashion such as adding cams, gears. superchargers, and headers.
New to the Mopar family. Bought my 2020 Hellraisin R/T with performance handling group on June 13th, 2020 and I love it. It is like my '70 Olds F85 and my '13 MazdaSpeed3 have been Frankenstein'd together... If the timers are correct on my R/T? I have the following: A 5.5 0-60. A 9.0 eighth mile. A 13.9 quarter mile. A 13.7 0-100. Without trying. Standard driving mode (traction control on). No launch control. Just found a straight patch and punched it. This is fun for comparisons of all sorts of vehicles you'll meet up, but would like to see a vid' comparing apples to apples (sedans to sedans).
I like how realistic racerx is...not everybody will mod their car. Weight plays a big rule in races...the r/t needs like 375rwhp 415 to the crank in order to keep these comps close. Love R/T tho.
Great content as always more videos like this for the scatpack,hellcat,and etc would be very interesting.I have a 16 Camaro SS so a SS video like this will be great as well .😏
I used to own a v6 challenger and my buddy used to own a mustang eco boost. And stock on stock the challenger won every race by half a car! So Iam definitely pretty sure the Rt trim would beat the eco boost! Dealer numbers don’t always line up as we all know!
Have an 18 Charger R/T now for bout a yr. LOVE it. Done a few mods but not enough to up against your 392, GT and so one. That wasn't my goal nor what I was trying to accomplish. Not trying to be Arnold Schwarzenegger, don't mind being Sylvester Stallone😄😄😄😄
Great video, you put a lot of time on this, wonderful comparisons as before we have a 19 scat pack Shaker a great car, we had a 18 rt 5.7 challenger before this one but the Scat is great step up for the money.... keep up love all that you have done......Steve from NJ....
I wanted the Scat but there wasn’t one near me for sale for $35k or less 🤷♂️ Ended up with an RT and it’s still got some good punch. Considering I traded from a 1.4 turbo Dart it’s a helluva jump 😂😂 But it was a one owner 2015 with 29k miles serviced at the dealer it was bought from its whole life with all maintenance records, plus already has the muffler/resonator delete so sounds good too, and blacked out with the Beats Audio system so I’m not disappointed. Big shit will be the next car 👌
Nice! u mention durango SRT! Indeed is to not mess with and do not even try! 😎 A lot of RTs in my neighborhood as well and many of them do see my durango thinking its just a base model until they see the 392 badge on the side. Lol! Nice review!
My car is currently in Atlanta getting a 392 out into it plus a bunch of goodies gonna be looking at 530 wheel after it’s done... and yes my r/t was stock before this so this is gonna be a huge difference also a 6 speed manual.
@@irlredline7965 Based on my personal experience with my former 2007 Chevy Monte Carlo SS ( 5.3 V8 303 hp), the GXP would not be a match for the RT Hemi. My best with the Monte Carlo was a 13.99 @ 99 mph. which is the only time I got it into the 13s. I was usually a 14.0-14.1 second car ( bone stock).
What I got from it is there isn’t anything in the chargers class, the closest was probably that 4 door stinger, bmw and and Lexi’s. But the rt is still bigger than all of them. But when it’s seems to really come down to style preference and plus the price point bc the deprécate pretty well and you can get one a year or two older that’s well taken care of.
Really enjoyed the live feed last night. I love your 1000 HP charger. Now you really got me thinking about the RT. I want the Daytona package but I might get the one with the 5.7. but I really like the 6.4. wondering did you look up my Ice Cream Drag Van.
Sorry, those imports do nothing for me! That's why I pay them no mind. I was a Mustang/Cougar fan for decades, modified them and even built engines, etc. In the mid '90's I gave that stuff up. Along comes the retro Challenger and when I saw it, the excitement and fever came back. It was flat out beautiful, very much reminiscent of the '70. After months of careful consideration, I bought myself à 2013 R/T - 6 speed for a retirement present. I don't race it, have no idea of it's 0-60 time, it's my "toy" and when I take it out, it's just for fun. I don't beat it, thrash it or trash it. Glad I outgrew that stage. Àfter 7.5 years of ownership, I am completely happy with it, no complaints. My base model was $28,500 out the door and full coverage on it and liability on my '03 Trailblazer costs me $65 mo. ($780 annually). What's not to like?
Great video. I noticed a while back that the Charger/Challenger RT is competition for most lighter cars with turbos or twin turbos such as the Ford Mustang Eco Boost, Ford Focus Rs, Kia Stinger Twin Turbo and even the v6 like the 2016 Camaro RS. I've raced most of these cars like the Nismo 370z, Mustang Ecoboost and Focus Rs and beat them in a quarter mile and on rolling starts. My cousin had a Mustang Eco boost. I would win every time unless the roads were wet. But the Mustang GT and Camaro SS are definitely in the Charger/Challenger 392 range. But then again they cost an average 10k more. Even though when I race the stock 392's I never get destroyed, it's usually a slow pull away. Lol
Ive personally experienced an r/t, scatpack, and hellcat. The r/t and anything below it is just a toy. Its missing that muscle car sound, to me you might as well buy a regular car if you get the r/t. I was freshly reminded this today when i saw a scat pack at a steakhouse place. I happily grinned when i heard it go.
I own an RT SHAKER, 2015, that I love. I beat a Porsche Cayman. Not once, twice, three times. He took off a 4th time but I was lol and felt bad for him and let him win the 4th 🏁.
I love that the first years scatpacks still had the r/t badge on back lol people look really surprised when you unleash damn near 500hp out of nowhere with the 392 lol
I'm 6ft5 330lbs and I fit very well and comfortable in my 14 charger rt. The same with my old challengers I've owned before. Big muscle for a big man💪🏾💪🏾
@Jose Carranza Polio yes it does but it weighs nothing compared to an RT power to weight ratio means a lot they are faster stock for stock so is the V6 mustang
@Jose Carranza Polio I’m really not sure. Depends on the year usually the 10 speed eco boosts are no joke though and is most likely faster as it is faster than the new eco boost camaro, but I know my mustang which is a FBO V6 is faster than an eco boost camaro as I’ve raced a few modded ones and beaten them by a decent bit
Right now everbodies v6's are producing almost as much hp as the 5.7. The r/t needs to be updated to at least 400-425hp and the r/t scat pack needs to be updated to around 525hp since the mustang gt has 460hp and weighs less. That's why all the mustang fan boys pick on dodge because their 5.0's make 85hp more than our 5.7's and only 25hp less than our massive 6.4's. And since the mustang weighs less that is why it hangs with and sometimes beats the scat.
That's about what my 6.1L SRT Charger runs. I'm pretty surprised that you were able to get those times. My fastest 0-60 was 4.32s on radials and at a strip but I can consistently run a 4.7 on street tires at any given stoplight. Were you using a built in timer as well as radials or anything?
Your profile pic strongly resembles my girl and I. Same features and damn near exact looks . I showed her and she was surprised too.. found our doppelgangers lol
Speed wise a lot of cars can beat the R/T but the hemi is durable and last long over time resale value is great and a classic in 10 years you won’t be able to get a Kia stinger part of something happened
Got a 2011 R/T and with LT headers, highflow cats, exhaust, intake and a plug and play tune and it's just as fast as a stock 2021 MANUAL GT with the performance package. So it's no slouch you just gotta wake up that 5.7
The 5.7L RT is faster than 95% of the vehicles you will see on your daily commute (trucks, 6 & 4 cylinder Honda Accords ,Civics, Toyota Camry's, ect, ect). It will take the performance oriented vehicle to hang with or beat the RT.
markurbancowboy I agree

@@lightning7582 the 1320 scat pack beats a gt, just depends on what trim.

Agreed, I own one too, and it’s a lot of fun and can hang with many cars as well. It doesn’t have to be the fastest, but it ain’t slow.
It only looks great because they have it the same body style as a hellcat and scatpack
the stock motor can handle 650hp
QUEEZY question, Charger or Challenger RT ???
Shout out to the RT crew!!!! Thanks for the vid.

@@svphobby got a 2020 scat pack a month or so ago, insurance isn't as bad as I thought, but my agent did say "wow, is it super souped up? Because it has a high warning symbol that comes up". And yes, you need that almost 500hp. You don't have to use it all, but roll 40mph and mash the gas once in a while and watch your worldly problems disappear in the rearview
I've always been a big sound guy. The R/T sounds so good I would take it over any of those cars. Well maybe I'm biased because I have one 😆. It's also just such a good looking car imo
I love my paid off 15' Charger R/T. The 8-speed really really helps compared to the 5-speed in the 06-14s. The 5.7 Hemi "Eagle" has been in the Chargers/Challengers/300s/Grand Cherokees etc longer than any other engine, even the 3.6 and is #1 in Ram. Not the fastest obviously but it's a nice DD pkg that's served me well going on 7 years. They are also the #1 choice for the police "pursuit" pkg and I have a 13' assigned to me. For the price they are a real bargain and they can take lots of mods. I want a HCWB Redeye so bad but I can't beat Free $0!
After a used 2010, new 2014 and 2015 Mustang (all v6), I tried a scat pack and a rt challenger. The scat pack was scary fast, but fun. I ordered a 2021 Go Mango Challenger R/T with the Shaker and a rear seat delete. I think my Mustang days are behind me.
Great Video!! The RTs may not be Scat Pack fast but they sound Great and have the same Great Styling of a Charger or Challenger Scat Pack!!
Yep.. agreed my friend. They are still fun in their own right.
2 things:
1. The RT is a great value for money proposition especially used
2. I drove about 12 hours over the weekend (6 hour road trip each way) on those long hauls I saw plenty of challengers and chargers on the highway but no mustangs or camaros (at least that I can recall).
The rts offer plenty of space, comfort, and great exhaust sound for not a lot of $$$
Not in 2022
@@Schinzo__ no vehicle is a good value in 2022 new or used
Just got my 2020 RT and the little kids in my neighborhood think I own a hellcat lol. Just goes to show that even though it's an RT it still looks and sounds great
I don’t mind that a 4 banger can keep up with an RT. I like the comparison’s but at the end of the day you cant beat the V8 sound. That alone is worth it to go with the Hemi or any V8.
no 4 cyl keeps up
Racer has the best reviews and info. I definitely can't speak for everyone but I can safely assume that many of us have the RT for road presence and the sound is absolutely phenomenal. I don't need to be the fastest dude on the road... just the coolest😎👍 Nice work Racer. You're king
All of those are pretty sweet cars. I definitely wouldn't call an RT slow.
Nick Kjellman .. it’s still a very sporty package
“Sporty” ? Lmao
The RT have enough power to have fun with . I think some guys try to downplay the RT when they own a scat or hellcat .. straight line a RT can’t get with a scat but with traffic you can keep up . I have a 18 RT and I love the pulls and the acceleration it’s enough to get busy . And I drive my cousin hell cat a lot to know the difference in power
@@derrickallen17 Most of them don't even have the car in the first place.
Derrick Allen SOOOOO TRUE!! Best ever & worded ever!! Have to agree 💯 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🙇🏽♂️
Thanks for reminding me how slow my car is
I have a 2016 charger R/T, I’ve been had it for 5 years. Never had any problems with it and it’s a pretty good car. I recently just bought a 2019 challenger scat pack, man what a big difference.. 😂😂😂 I still love my R/T though, and I’m never gonna give it up ..
Respect right there about you never giving it up for something new or with a lot more horsepower like the Hellcat.
Awesome video! Me and my buddy just started our UA-cam channel Mopar RT’s! He has a 2018 Durango RT and I have a 2017 Challenger RT. You always enjoy watching the videos and your input on all the different models!
Mopar RT’s .. thank you my friend.. gotta respect all the trims lol
R/T is a OUTSTANDING Vehicle!! Very Fun to drive & it does the job! It won’t let you look like a fool ! It sounds great!!
MOPAR BABY!!!
I have a 2020 R/T my first muscle car i have no complaints at all. Coming from electric car Kia Niro as my daily driver. The sound of the car and driving it is very fun. Its a very large car would be my only complaint lol.
Love my 2015 R/T Plus. I owned it since new. Warranty is over, been paid off so Last year I started some "Go Fast" mds and am wrapping it up this year (yeah right it never ends) with a Whipple Supercharger, Stall Converter 1 piece drive shaft, differential brace, larger diameter high flow cats and an OEM Hellcat Exhaust, having the Active Exhaust welded open and am having electric cutouts installed either right after the long tube header collector or right after the cats. Should be real fun as it puts 434 HP to the wheels now!
I don't think the R/T is slow at all especially for a daily driver. 4.7 second 0-60 (stock with decent tires) for a 4200+ lbs car is impressive to me. Wider rear tires should be manditory though because you'll have a hard time gripping without them.
Stg I clocked my r/t at about 4.8 but in the rain or anything but paved road I'm fish tailing everywhere bc traction is bad😂
Bro scats dont even do 4.7 0-60💀
@@viceed292 What? Scats are said to do around 4.2 0-60. I know some guys that have gotten around 3.8 in decent elevation and a good set of tires.
After a good tune, ported throttle body, CAI and exhaust work I got a 4.4 0-60 with a 12.4 second quarter mile at the drag strip in my 2019 R/T when I had it. 12.7 was stock. 🤷🏾♂️
Not sure where you're getting your info from.
I love your channel and content. I am mostly here for the scat pack info however being a enthusiast I really enjoy your unbiased opinions and comparisons as I love learning about the competition and what’s out there and I think you do a amazing job at that
R/T's are the best daily, I think the only thing that really needs to be change is the differentials from a open one, to a closed.
I meant racer x couple days ago in a meet , really good guy in real person hope too see hem again ! Great person & video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
If you make more of these videos I would definitely watch them.
You’re page is starting to grow on me. I have a camaro but enjoy watching ur vids👌🏾👌🏾
These videos motivates me to modify my RT.
Dont let your dreams be dreams.
Just ordered a supercharger
That was a great video, thanks for putting all of that info together like that.
No worries.. much appreciated
Owned a Charger. Best 4-door daily driver on the market. I’m a mustang guy but all around comfort, Charger wins. Even my S550 doesn’t compare in room and comfort. Charger cruises down the highway at 85 like your not even moving.
Loved my R/T Charger, a very good car, but I love my Stars and Stripes Scat Pack Charger a bit more.
Chuck .. the Scatpack is so much fun
My last daily driver was a 500whp Supercharged Jag. Now, I'm going RT Challenger or Charger. For a daily driver, one could do a lot worse than an RT. Faster than probably 85-90 percent of most cars on the road.
I’ve got a MMD on my 19 rt chally sounds narly and is fast I love it! 5.2 and 13.8 is way off I know that’s what’s online but it’s not accurate. 4.6 0-60 and 13.0-13.1 quarter mile that’s what I get it’s freakin quick. Keep in mind I did this in early December in perfect conditions at lapeer dragway with launch control 3k rpms and dead hooked. On the street I average 4.8-4.9 0-60
5.2 to 60 is the advertised street time. If your getting 4.8-4.9 thats not way off. Better tires and a few mods would definitely have this car in the mid 4's to 60. The R/T is a great car, would love to have one as a daily driver.
Rez Law I have a video up now of a legit time for the r/t I ran a 13.0 which is the fastest on UA-cam !!! The DA was far from perfect I can go even faster!
This is a good video because it compared the R/T to other cars I wouldn't thought of. One could be in for a surprise racing turbo charged cars. They are highly tunable and with an investment of less than $1,500 you can turn a turbo car into a quick car. For example, with just a tune and a good set of drag radials, you can turn an Ecoboost into a 12 second car putting down about 370 horsepower and 400 foot pounds of torque. With bolt-ons such as a larger intercooler, downpipe, and upgraded turbos the Ecoboost is capable of running 11s and giving a Scat Pack a very competitive race. The turbo Camaro can be modded inexpensively and put down some impressive times. A better comparison for the Camaro might be with the V6 version. It puts down 335 horsepower and is the equal of the R/T in terms of performance. They can be modded in a similar fashion such as adding cams, gears. superchargers, and headers.
Just got a 2013 rt challenger a week ago i really love the sound the way it looks and pretty fast 4 a daily FRESNO CALI
I have a 2018 charger rt and fukin love it man!
New to the Mopar family. Bought my 2020 Hellraisin R/T with performance handling group on June 13th, 2020 and I love it. It is like my '70 Olds F85 and my '13 MazdaSpeed3 have been Frankenstein'd together... If the timers are correct on my R/T? I have the following: A 5.5 0-60. A 9.0 eighth mile. A 13.9 quarter mile. A 13.7 0-100. Without trying. Standard driving mode (traction control on). No launch control. Just found a straight patch and punched it. This is fun for comparisons of all sorts of vehicles you'll meet up, but would like to see a vid' comparing apples to apples (sedans to sedans).
I like how realistic racerx is...not everybody will mod their car. Weight plays a big rule in races...the r/t needs like 375rwhp 415 to the crank in order to keep these comps close. Love R/T tho.
Great set of comparisons. I see a lot of Civic Sport CVTs so took a look. They look good but slow- 0-60 mph in 7.7 sec, quarter mile time is 16.1 sec.
That’s not correct my best time 0-60 is 5.0 sec
@@karmsman4714HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA yeah okay.
I have a challenger R/T 392 6.4L shaker scatpack. They're just heavy af. But I like it.
Great content as always more videos like this for the scatpack,hellcat,and etc would be very interesting.I have a 16 Camaro SS so a SS video like this will be great as well .😏
TANKK .. I will definitely see what I can do 👍
I used to own a v6 challenger and my buddy used to own a mustang eco boost. And stock on stock the challenger won every race by half a car! So Iam definitely pretty sure the Rt trim would beat the eco boost! Dealer numbers don’t always line up as we all know!
Kinda sad the v8 rt had to be compared to 4 cyl and 6 cyl cars,and got beat by some.good job on the video and still love my mopars!
But those cars they are being compared to, are 2 door coupes that are much lighter. Gotta Realize a charger weighs as much as a chevy SUV
2 doors aren't reliable either with that little space they have
Have an 18 Charger R/T now for bout a yr. LOVE it. Done a few mods but not enough to up against your 392, GT and so one. That wasn't my goal nor what I was trying to accomplish. Not trying to be Arnold Schwarzenegger, don't mind being Sylvester Stallone😄😄😄😄
I have a 5.7L Chrysler 300s and I absolutely love it. It’s quick and sounds amazing
Great video, you put a lot of time on this, wonderful comparisons as before we have a 19 scat pack Shaker a great car, we had a 18 rt 5.7 challenger before this one but the Scat is great step up for the money.... keep up love all that you have done......Steve from NJ....
I wanted the Scat but there wasn’t one near me for sale for $35k or less 🤷♂️
Ended up with an RT and it’s still got some good punch.
Considering I traded from a 1.4 turbo Dart it’s a helluva jump 😂😂
But it was a one owner 2015 with 29k miles serviced at the dealer it was bought from its whole life with all maintenance records, plus already has the muffler/resonator delete so sounds good too, and blacked out with the Beats Audio system so I’m not disappointed.
Big shit will be the next car 👌
An SHO Taurus would be a good match up. The Taurus was just discontinued not to long ago but the the fusion sport is still around.
That Taurus would get smoked
Nice! u mention durango SRT! Indeed is to not mess with and do not even try! 😎 A lot of RTs in my neighborhood as well and many of them do see my durango thinking its just a base model until they see the 392 badge on the side. Lol! Nice review!
I just love your attitude when filming these videos thumbs up !!
Bro I love the info you give and your presentation. New sub boss man
My car is currently in Atlanta getting a 392 out into it plus a bunch of goodies gonna be looking at 530 wheel after it’s done... and yes my r/t was stock before this so this is gonna be a huge difference also a 6 speed manual.
I always thought the RT Hemi with the 5.7 was pretty comperable to the Pontiac G8 GT in size and performance.
Steve Smith .. that might be a good comparison 👍
You are correct. I'm a former g8 gt owner
I know it's front wheel drive but I think the Pontiac Grand Prix GXP would be a good race. It weighs about 3600lb and puts out 303hp from a 5.3 v8
@@irlredline7965 Based on my personal experience with my former 2007 Chevy Monte Carlo SS ( 5.3 V8 303 hp), the GXP would not be a match for the RT Hemi. My best with the Monte Carlo was a 13.99 @ 99 mph. which is the only time I got it into the 13s. I was usually a 14.0-14.1 second car ( bone stock).
The RT was the only full size car compared . It's in a class by itself.
Each video gets better and better as always
What I got from it is there isn’t anything in the chargers class, the closest was probably that 4 door stinger, bmw and and Lexi’s. But the rt is still bigger than all of them. But when it’s seems to really come down to style preference and plus the price point bc the deprécate pretty well and you can get one a year or two older that’s well taken care of.
Really enjoyed the live feed last night. I love your 1000 HP charger. Now you really got me thinking about the RT. I want the Daytona package but I might get the one with the 5.7. but I really like the 6.4. wondering did you look up my Ice Cream Drag Van.
My friend has a hellcat all he cares about is speed but for me I just need that v8 sound lol🍍
Sorry, those imports do nothing for me! That's why I pay them no mind. I was a Mustang/Cougar fan for decades, modified them and even built engines, etc. In the mid '90's I gave that stuff up. Along comes the retro Challenger and when I saw it, the excitement and fever came back. It was flat out beautiful, very much reminiscent of the '70. After months of careful consideration, I bought myself à 2013 R/T - 6 speed for a retirement present. I don't race it, have no idea of it's 0-60 time, it's my "toy" and when I take it out, it's just for fun. I don't beat it, thrash it or trash it. Glad I outgrew that stage. Àfter 7.5 years of ownership, I am completely happy with it, no complaints. My base model was $28,500 out the door and full coverage on it and liability on my '03 Trailblazer costs me $65 mo. ($780 annually). What's not to like?
Great video. I noticed a while back that the Charger/Challenger RT is competition for most lighter cars with turbos or twin turbos such as the Ford Mustang Eco Boost, Ford Focus Rs, Kia Stinger Twin Turbo and even the v6 like the 2016 Camaro RS. I've raced most of these cars like the Nismo 370z, Mustang Ecoboost and Focus Rs and beat them in a quarter mile and on rolling starts. My cousin had a Mustang Eco boost. I would win every time unless the roads were wet. But the Mustang GT and Camaro SS are definitely in the Charger/Challenger 392 range. But then again they cost an average 10k more. Even though when I race the stock 392's I never get destroyed, it's usually a slow pull away. Lol
Yeah I don’t know what they talking bout same with me to they don’t just straight smoke me but they do pull away
I love the RT. Practicality
Ive personally experienced an r/t, scatpack, and hellcat. The r/t and anything below it is just a toy. Its missing that muscle car sound, to me you might as well buy a regular car if you get the r/t. I was freshly reminded this today when i saw a scat pack at a steakhouse place. I happily grinned when i heard it go.
Just for reference. I ran my stock 18 rt charger (does have hellcat airbox) last fall. I went 13.67 at 102 on the stock 245s. I'm a big dude too.
I ran a stock 2016 charger rt road and track 13.3 @ 105 on stock 245's
I love the R/T cause you can throw a lot of modes at it an it will take them better than the other trim and the LT1 I have had are mostly V6
I own an RT SHAKER, 2015, that I love. I beat a Porsche Cayman. Not once, twice, three times. He took off a 4th time but I was lol and felt bad for him and let him win the 4th 🏁.
Love watching the motivation man
I love that the first years scatpacks still had the r/t badge on back lol people look really surprised when you unleash damn near 500hp out of nowhere with the 392 lol
I'm 6ft5 330lbs and I fit very well and comfortable in my 14 charger rt. The same with my old challengers I've owned before. Big muscle for a big man💪🏾💪🏾
Ecoboost is a super underated car !!!!! 💪🏽
@Jose Carranza Polio the eco boost mustang and the V6 mustang are both faster I can say from personal experience
@Jose Carranza Polio it’s a great first sports car!
@Jose Carranza Polio yes it does but it weighs nothing compared to an RT power to weight ratio means a lot they are faster stock for stock so is the V6 mustang
@Jose Carranza Polio it is
@Jose Carranza Polio I’m really not sure. Depends on the year usually the 10 speed eco boosts are no joke though and is most likely faster as it is faster than the new eco boost camaro, but I know my mustang which is a FBO V6 is faster than an eco boost camaro as I’ve raced a few modded ones and beaten them by a decent bit
I had a 15 charger rt. It was ok. Not enough horsepower for a 4300lb car. I should have gotten a 6.4.
Same here. I should have got the scatpack.
I have a 2018 RT 375hp 410tq and drives amazing and it's a blast still. Pedal commander recommend for a better experience
Hemi 5.7 is not SLOW
a charger 5.7 beat me last night
Them 8 speed is badass
Right now everbodies v6's are producing almost as much hp as the 5.7. The r/t needs to be updated to at least 400-425hp and the r/t scat pack needs to be updated to around 525hp since the mustang gt has 460hp and weighs less. That's why all the mustang fan boys pick on dodge because their 5.0's make 85hp more than our 5.7's and only 25hp less than our massive 6.4's. And since the mustang weighs less that is why it hangs with and sometimes beats the scat.
Exactly! Couldn’t have said it better.
It’s incredibly easy to get a 5.7 to 400 horsepower
@@williamcoburn4486 yes it is, but not without voiding your warranty.
william coburn what does it take, intake, tune, and headers?
I wash I got the Hellcat. Good content I enjoy the channel.
My 2019 RT stock was getting 4.7 0-60 and 13.2 1/4 mile
That's definitely alot faster than Dodge claims .. must have been some good air
RacerX Dodge along with other companies tend to underrate their cars. RT life has made a few videos about this as well.
That's about what my 6.1L SRT Charger runs. I'm pretty surprised that you were able to get those times. My fastest 0-60 was 4.32s on radials and at a strip but I can consistently run a 4.7 on street tires at any given stoplight. Were you using a built in timer as well as radials or anything?
Tristan M. Hartman I used the built in timer and my phone as well. Consistently ran a 4.7- 4.9. Only mods are catback and intake
Sure buddy
The Stinger is definitely something I have been interested in.
Yes I really like the Stinger.. I would have bought one but it was a little more expensive than the STI
Stinger is a solid choice. Fast, comfortable, and stylish. Test drove one twice before picking 2019 Mustang GT
Your profile pic strongly resembles my girl and I. Same features and damn near exact looks . I showed her and she was surprised too.. found our doppelgangers lol
The 5.7L RT has decent power.
Speed wise a lot of cars can beat the R/T but the hemi is durable and last long over time resale value is great and a classic in 10 years you won’t be able to get a Kia stinger part of something happened
Great stuff informative keep up the great videos.
Thank you X
Got a 2011 R/T and with LT headers, highflow cats, exhaust, intake and a plug and play tune and it's just as fast as a stock 2021 MANUAL GT with the performance package. So it's no slouch you just gotta wake up that 5.7
Love the GMC Yukon roll by that charger as you get into it
joe worley .. haha he was racing in a one car race lol
