I live here in NJ and have so far refused to put my front plate on....so far so good. I am going to go as long as I can without it...wish me luck! hahahahaha
I totally agree with you about the 2 year itch comment. A day doesn't go by when I don't enjoy getting in my Scat Pack. It brings a smile to my face even on the crappiest day!
2008 was the same year I first took interest in the Challenger as well. I was 20 then and without a job but I had to have it someday. I remember dragging my mom to the local Dodge dealership in 2009, after one of her chemo treatments, and I told her I will get one someday. I'll never forget those days. This T/A is definitely nice and I like this subtle chill style of review. Can't wait to see you do a Hellcat!
I've had the opportunity to drive a few hellcats, for some reason I put the camera away and enjoyed the car, then I had to give them back and wound up with no footage... 😂😂😂
I tirelessly investigated this to a point of exhaustion!!..lol!!...but the srt 392 is the best bang for the buck!!...I was going towards the hellcat but seeing how I was going to daily drive it ,I didnt like the fact it was boosted!...the 392 has plenty of power and its naturally aspirated!....i dont track my cars and i dont race them except for an occasionally drive in Mexico lol!!..wink wink!!....i wasn't at all impressed with the 5.7! And the v6 is a joke!..lol!! I've had mine for two years and I've enjoyed every minute!!
I for 1 love the actual "shaker-hood" of your car! I have owned the 1969 GTX with a 440/6 pack 4 speed that had a shaker hood scoop! Yea It's not a standard hood but didn't care either! It was that hood scoop shaken that I loved so much!
I feel the same, and Love the shake. I wanted a shaker so bad and I'm happy that I went with the Cervini's kit over the Stock Mopar. I recently added the Mopar hood pins so I'm good for now and will be keeping my Shaker:)
I installed the newer Uconnect in my 2015, it tooks months of figuring out how to get everything to work correctly and how to do it without losing features but i finally figured it out and man am i glad i did. The newer Uconnect is sooo much better and the Android auto is so nice. I still have my same media controls with the mute button because i prefer the mute button over the power off button but it is cool they added power off. I wish i could have mute and power off buttons instead of the seek button that would be ideal because i pretty much never use that
Beautiful car there. I just bought a new T/A 392 in the granite color. The T/A striping is hard to see in certain lights, but the matte surfaces contrast beautifully with the shiny paint.
I still like my Scat Pack Shaker over the T/A, I have never liked those SRT style hoods, just doesn't suit the car; too new age looking...I also think Dipps screens or my 3D printed headlight inserts look better than the open light up headlights on this as well
Mike...i have a 2017 Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack ...but THIS is my next car for sure in Pitch Black 392 as well. Fell in love immediately at NY Auto Show when i already had my car for 3 weeks !!! u too i see...
I too get bored with my car around the year mark and trade it in. My 6-cylinder SXT Challenger was at the 2 year mark when I came up on the Challenger T/A 392. Needless to say, with a 6 year, 72.000 mile bumper to bumper warranty, I'm pretty sure this one will be with me for a while.
Out of ALL Challengers, according to Car & Driver, the T / A, is the BEST Handling, with your suggestion, with the huge hood, that would defeat it's main purpose bro !!
Thanks for posting. You do give some great detail which I appreciate. Since you asked for it, I could do with less time getting to the car, but that could be me. Im not much of a foreplay guy, just give me the guts of the matter. Thanks again.
thanks for the feedback, I'm trying to do a little of both, people are asking for more driving time in videos so it's a tough role to make everyone happy. Personally I, Like you, want the guts without the filler so I've started putting a table of contents in my descriptions so you can skip to the parts you want to see.
I also wanted to point out on the seats which are usually found as only headliners in $100k high line cars, its real suede. No screwing. And Napa leather is in Bentley
Work Play Drive: so I sell these myself here in Chicago and I'm really torn between 2 cars. We have an unbadged T/A 392 2018. Its granite exterior with black satin hood which is just gorgeous, its set up like the Hellcat in the same package. But the new 2018 Charger daytona 392 we have in Octane Red with all satin black hood, again unbadged is...well....starting to make me think twice...the way this car drives is completely different and its a smidge lighter and a lot more nimble, so when it comes to control and driving, this charger is kinda making me think a different direction.
I've heard from a lot of people the charger has some more controlability due to it's more stable wheel base. For me my love for the body and styling of the challenger made my decision very easy.
I agree, great video! Don't know which I like better- the T/A or the T n' A... All lewd jokes aside, Marissa sounds like a fantastic saleswoman. & the new T/A Challenger - WOW, that car is sharp! Though, I also would like to see an "old school", but newly refined, hood scoop on a T/A Challenger. I just bought a '14 Challenger R/T about 6 mths ago, so I don't think I'll be in the market for a new T/A anytime soon - but if I was, I think I'd have to go w/ a different body color. The stealthy black theme is definitely cool, but a brighter color - say, Hemi Orange for instance - would really give some nice contrast to the matte black hood, roof & trunk. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to everyone out there in Challengerland!
Nice job, I have to agree with you on the Challenger, I was always a GM guy owning many in the last 17 years, 3 Z06's and 2 CTS-V Caddys. Plus others. In 2015 when I looked at both a new Z and V to replace my '12 CTS-V coupe I was shocked at the 100K plus prices. I wandered down the road to the local Dodge dealer and found a red SRT 392. Took it out for a test drive and never looked back. Love at first drive. The car for the price was unbelievable, less than half of the GM cars on the road. Than at the beginning of the '17 model year my dealer had a leftover new '16 Hellcat that they knocked 8K of the 73K sticker. I wanted to keep both of them and still wished I did. But needless to say I am very, very happy with the HC. I agree these cars are unbelievable for the money and I still like as much today as the day I picked it up. FCA keep up the great work and the many choices that are available in the Challenger. Keep making those videos.
I installed Hood Pin Kit on my R/T Shaker Plus but elected not to connect cable, heard various stories that even though the cable is coated it still rubs so I will drive around with them in and when I get to where I was going I take them out. I can always put them on if I wanted. Totally agree about front plate, in states where you don't need one the dealers don't put it on and they usually don't even give it to you. I like the T/A but I AM LOVIN' the SHAKEDOWN now that is a real retro, see if Red (Marissa) can let you do vid on one of those. and I will close with......A HOT Red Head that Races I am a fan of hers already!!!!
I got to see the shakedown in California at SpringFest I featured in this video ua-cam.com/video/kIU3NEqjXtg/v-deo.html within the first minute. Sadly she's just a concept otherwise Id be all over it :)
You and me both have that same desire for the T/A haha good vid, just didn't get to see any new features from the sport pages? Looking forward to seeing that hood pin diy, so I can do the same ;)
Love the videos but as a heads up to anyone interested, I purchased my Go Mango T/A 392 in April and I love it but there's ones thing I would do immediately. The hood is painted not vinyl like the rest of the car, vinyl wrap the hood immediately! Because the satin paint scratches like no other.
Isn't the hood painted similar to the Hellcat Satin hood. Many of my club members have had great success with Ceramic coating on the satin hood to protect it from scratches.
I would imagine so as they give you the same brochure, I just liked having everything all the same as its less to think about when it comes to detailing/products
It is the same paint on the hood, if you follow the proper cleaning protocol its fine. I was scared to death of it when I bought mine but so far so good. You can get the satin painted hood ceramic coated using a different coating than what you have on the rest of the car. Its an option I am looking at doing with mine soon as I am still scared of scratching it even if I do the right thing! lol
To anyone looking for some nice performance tires to replace factory 245 tires on your Challenger or Charger,but don't wanna go really wide and have to change the wheel; check out the Dunlop 255/45R20's. They're affordable, get insanely good traction, handle well and are almost as good in the rain as they are in dry weather.
Did you record this segment in late August? I just picked up an R/T Scat Pack from Ramsey Late August. The white one you see in 11:20 may be the one I picked up. Aleksey Rush from Ramsey sold it to me.
That awesome man, I love that you manage to have some eye candy salesgirl helping lol my favorite things about the t/a are the wrap, the hoodpins, and illuminated headlight hole 😍, thats the great solution for decoraring your hellcat headlight hole
So the only difference between an RT scat pack and a 392 srt TA is visual components. Same horsepower? They should offer different performance packs for each model all the way up to hellcat and demon
The only thing I like about the T/A is the script Challenger badge on the grille. Otherwise, I prefer my SRT 392. EDIT: Also, the 2017 models do not have an SD card which I prefer over the Android/Apple support.
I never comment on anything..... but this video was fantastic! Currently in negotiations with competing dealers over a T/A 392 and a Scat Pack Shaker 392. Tough call. Love both but the T/A graphics kick a$#. Thanks for this overview!
Thank you I agree and love my headlights tinted, here is an awesome shot of them I took at a car show imgur.com/5rxTQAh I used the Luxe Auto Concepts headlight kits. You can get them from here bit.ly/2f1Dc4v (affiliate) and if you use code "workplaydrive" you get 15% off. Here is a bunch of info I have on the product Dark Smoke Kit Review and light loss chart ua-cam.com/video/tSx-gAVa5fU/v-deo.html Night Driving footage ua-cam.com/video/xEUh5cywPMU/v-deo.html Light smoke review and light loss - ua-cam.com/video/0gYLogB11jY/v-deo.html
It's actually a vinyl tint from Luxe bit.ly/2kOSpWu if you want to grab a set use my discount code "workplaydrive" for 15% off. I pretty much tinted all the lights and reflectors on my car check out these videos. ua-cam.com/play/PL_C69kho0QAsuGvLyQd_E6CG9xhdjcyva.html
I just got the exact same car recently, except without a Marissa... Yeah I was in search of a scat pack first then somehow the dealer actually had a T/A out of nowhere. I fell in love with the look, black on black, bright headlights, didn't care for the vinyl 392 being a sticker, I thought it was badass. Ijust didn't get the t/a seats or roof. I was initially looking for an auto, but this was a manual... but I says fkit and chose! Great video! 👍
TA stands for Trans Am, and SRT is Street and Racing Technology. The number at the end of SRT tells you how many cylinders the car has. Not positive on RT, but I believe it stands for Road and Track.
Every time I drive one, i put the camera down, enjoy the car, then when it's time to give it back I didn't get any footage 😂. The increase in power over the Challenger 392's is substantial. to best describe it... When you mash the throttle on the 392's you get pinned back and feel the acceleration, your passengers get a little frightened. When you mash the throttle on the hellcat the same happens, but the increased g forces pull the skin on your face back a little. You can't help but smile between that and the supercharger wine it's amazing.
Work Play Drive hope you'll upload a Video about Hellcat, i wanna know what's inside/outside of it in full detail and what are the freebies when you buy a Hellcat from Dodge showroom and many more 😊👌🏻
I have a charger and a Challenger that is not listed right now but I am working on getting it up. It is a 2016 challenger, I'll put some pics up on my Facebook Page for yall. This is my other Hellcat Charger www.ramseychryslerjeepdodge.com/new/Dodge/2017-Dodge-Charger-e89daebe0a0e0ae813b5e94d65a1c2f6.htm
It depends on who you ask, I have friends on both sides of the fence. For example One of my friends daily drives his hellcat he's got over 60,000 miles on it and loves it. The other had issues with his charger Hellcat and hated it. I've had a few minor issues but nothing serious and would absolutely buy another.
Those seats are comfy but they’re useless once the leather starts to stretch. My buddy had the dealer replace the seat twice and the third time, I think they added some padding to something to bolster the leather. Not sure how that worked out wi5h the ventilated seats, but my buddy dumped the 5.7 for a Scat. Both are nice but I’ll take my Scat any day🐝🥰
Ok here is the reason I do not like the T/A. The only difference between that and my 2017 scat pack is the wheel tires and breaks. All of which can be upgraded with ease. It is nice that the intake box is sealed but there are many other options out there. As to the head lights, as you know adding on the mopar headlight tube adds the best source for ram air (mine is an RT hood not shaker). I just don't see the real price increase for the options when you get all the way down to it. The Scat Pack is an awesome car to shave some of the money off the top and build as you need it. Not saying that it isn't a good looking package but I don't see the value in it.
I'm a Ford Chevy and Dodge guy!!! I currently own a 2012 lava red Mustang 5.0 and I love these cars. I just wish they would take some weight off of them, I'm beating scat packs now with a tune and exhaust. I love the way they look, they just need to shave some weight off....
I just installed a set on my car, the same MOPAR OEM used on the T/A These are well made and corrosion resistant. The pins are stainless Steel, the rest of the kit is painted/powder coated. and the cables are coated.
there are 2 songs in the description of the video with Links, if these are not the songs, just reply with the time in the video the song plays and I will look it up for you.
It's the Sto-N-Sho here is my review with some info on which one to buy. ua-cam.com/video/RytZZ3QsRiI/v-deo.html - links are in the description if you want to buy.
To own? Probably not, I'm really leaning towards a Whipple or Magnuson for next year. I want to have a little more fun with this car. I've got a few on deck to review though....
You can always install them yourself. I did my scat pack. The mopar hood pins are pricy but they are one of the cleanest options and relatively easy to install. …once you get past drilling your hood 😬
I'm glad my state doesn't require a front plate. The front of these cars looks so much better without an ugly license plate. Nice video.
Thank you. There are options for states that do have front plate laws :) ua-cam.com/video/RytZZ3QsRiI/v-deo.html
I use the Sto n Sho on my HC. That way I'm legal in MD and can just pop it off when I don't want it. No holes to mount it also.
You should be more polite to the lady at dealership.
I live here in NJ and have so far refused to put my front plate on....so far so good. I am going to go as long as I can without it...wish me luck! hahahahaha
I just bought a 2017 T/A 392. Yellow Jacket . I've had it a week. It is a great car. I love it.
I love that color awesome choice and congrats. Tell me you smile every time you start it up.
LOL. I smile just thinking about driving it!
Nice job breaking it down into an easily understood segment. I just got a 2017 SRT 392 last weekend and I love it. I enjoyed hearing about the T/A.
Thank you and Congrats on the SRT!
4 years later and I’ve had my black T/A for a year now, thanks to this video. Same color,engine, manual, i love it.
I’m still in love with the black on black T/A once the pandemic pricing ends I think I’m going to pick up a manual 392
@@WorkPlayDrive it’s been a lot of fun!
I totally agree with you about the 2 year itch comment. A day doesn't go by when I don't enjoy getting in my Scat Pack. It brings a smile to my face even on the crappiest day!
Same here everytime I push that button
Thanks for the video of the car that is now sitting at home in my garage. Great video.
Congrats 🎉
Wow !!! So beautiful.........i also like the car.
Yep I been admiring the challenger since 09 myself
Beautiful salesgirl! The car's not bad either. 😁
Both cars are stunning, love the TA
2008 was the same year I first took interest in the Challenger as well. I was 20 then and without a job but I had to have it someday.

Still one of my favorite trims next to the shaker
Congrats 🎈 on the New T/A
The T/A makes me sad. Makes my scat pack look like a sxt 😭
She is pretty sexy, but let's not go that far😂😂😂
you trying to get me in trouble? 😂😂😂😂😂
I still like my Scat Pack Shaker over the T/A, I have never liked those SRT style hoods, just doesn't suit the car; too new age looking...I also think Dipps screens or my 3D printed headlight inserts look better than the open light up headlights on this as well

Yeah man, it breaks my neck every time I see one go by.
technically the hood on the T/A is a throw back hood... just to the AAR 'cuda instead
I too get bored with my car around the year mark and trade it in. My 6-cylinder SXT Challenger was at the 2 year mark when I came up on the Challenger T/A 392. Needless to say, with a 6 year, 72.000 mile bumper to bumper warranty, I'm pretty sure this one will be with me for a while.
Same issue, usually by year 2 I'm already itching to trade, but this one I'm on year 3 and still going strong
Does the T/A come with an 8 speed Torque Flight? BTW, Thumbs up...
Out of ALL Challengers, according to Car & Driver, the T / A, is the BEST Handling, with your suggestion, with the huge hood, that would defeat it's main purpose bro !!
It's the lowered front end, it hugs the road.
Great video as always! I love my T/A 392, and I do agree I like the functional SRT hood better then the old Style one.
Thanks man!
I also really enjoyed your "non-car related" videos you put out recently. I hope to see more of those!

The scoop on the new T/A was used on the AAR 'Cuda originally.
The AAR Cuda was another beautiful car.
Let her talk, she was saying how they did the T/A for the SE racing "transam!" in the 70s :P
I’m 64 years old, just bought my first Challenger T/A 392. I love this car, now wondering why I waited so long !

My wheels are the sock 2015 Black wheels. in 2016 dodge switched to a hyper black which is more gray with a little sparkle.
Loved the video Bro! The T/A is only available in black?

You nailed my 3 favorite things about the car as well, I just got a set of hood pins in, they're sitting on my desk waiting to be installed.
So the only difference between an RT scat pack and a 392 srt TA is visual components. Same horsepower? They should offer different performance packs for each model all the way up to hellcat and demon
This specific T/A has the same Horsepower, but Suspension, uconnect options and interior finishes are different.
The only thing I like about the T/A is the script Challenger badge on the grille. Otherwise, I prefer my SRT 392.
EDIT: Also, the 2017 models do not have an SD card which I prefer over the Android/Apple support.
they still have a USB though so you can use USB stick or USB to SD adapter ;)
True although I wonder how well it works. I absolutely love the built-in SD card. We keep nothing but 70's classic rock.
Oderus Urungus the only way to go
Dude, can you get one for under 30 grand?
I agree with the hood option the TA should have its original Hood this is a AAR Cuda Hood this is where SRT gets its design from
see now were keeping it sleek but adding some throw back... either that or their saving it for a new Cuda release. 🤓💪
I never comment on anything..... but this video was fantastic! Currently in negotiations with competing dealers over a T/A 392 and a Scat Pack Shaker 392. Tough call. Love both but the T/A graphics kick a$#. Thanks for this overview!
Thanks for making me your first :) to be honest you can't go wrong with either car best of luck in your negotiations and welcome to the club!

Dream Car Same Color !!
Dam 37k starting price for a new 392 back in 2017 wow wish they were still like that, sad thing is not much has really changed since then
My 2021 T/A 392 started at 41k and some change. Geesh that’s a big jump!
I bought a black T/A 392 2 weeks ago, I live in NJ and havent seen a single one like mine yet! So sweeeeeeeeet
The T/A is the only challenger that makes me stare ;)
Do you have instagram to follow?
Yes WorkPlayDrive
Just subscribed to your channel. Love your challenger 🤙🏽
Thanks for the love Lino!
Hey are those headlight covers you have on your scatpack, there cool
It's actually a vinyl tint from Luxe bit.ly/2kOSpWu if you want to grab a set use my discount code "workplaydrive" for 15% off. I pretty much tinted all the lights and reflectors on my car check out these videos. ua-cam.com/play/PL_C69kho0QAsuGvLyQd_E6CG9xhdjcyva.html
I just got the exact same car recently, except without a Marissa... Yeah I was in search of a scat pack first then somehow the dealer actually had a T/A out of nowhere. I fell in love with the look, black on black, bright headlights, didn't care for the vinyl 392 being a sticker, I thought it was badass. Ijust didn't get the t/a seats or roof. I was initially looking for an auto, but this was a manual... but I says fkit and chose! Great video! 👍
Awesome, congratulations
Was that Marissa hauling ass at the end in the T/A? Is that stock exhaust? So mine sounds like that.. 👍 I like it. Not that loud but still good.
I can’t confirm or deny who was driving 😂 but yes that was the sweet sound of the stock exhaust
I just bought me a 17 TA 392 last Sunday. I looked under the car and scored with a borla cat back s type exhaust and it was $37k
Congratulations 🎈 I still love the look of that car. White on black is a killer combination 👌
Holy shit! I'd buy the same car twice from Marissa! Daaaaaaammmnn!
Lets go! I still have 2 T/A but not the 392 left in Destroyer Gray and Black
I always just wondered what does TA SRT8 and RT stand for exactly
TA stands for Trans Am, and SRT is Street and Racing Technology. The number at the end of SRT tells you how many cylinders the car has. Not positive on RT, but I believe it stands for Road and Track.
Do you have a Video about the Hellcat, planning to buy one
Every time I drive one, i put the camera down, enjoy the car, then when it's time to give it back I didn't get any footage 😂. The increase in power over the Challenger 392's is substantial. to best describe it... When you mash the throttle on the 392's you get pinned back and feel the acceleration, your passengers get a little frightened.
When you mash the throttle on the hellcat the same happens, but the increased g forces pull the skin on your face back a little. You can't help but smile between that and the supercharger wine it's amazing.
Work Play Drive hope you'll upload a Video about Hellcat, i wanna know what's inside/outside of it in full detail and what are the freebies when you buy a Hellcat from Dodge showroom and many more 😊👌🏻
Hey lets talk WorkPlayDrive. Like in an earlier post, I have one. I'll have to butter up management but lets see if we can make it happen!
I have a charger and a Challenger that is not listed right now but I am working on getting it up. It is a 2016 challenger, I'll put some pics up on my Facebook Page for yall.
This is my other Hellcat Charger

Francis, Looks like you got the process of planning a Hellcat video started :)
Asking because i dont know
Are dodge cars build bad? As in always having issues etc?
Thinking about getting a hellcat just want more info
It depends on who you ask, I have friends on both sides of the fence. For example One of my friends daily drives his hellcat he's got over 60,000 miles on it and loves it. The other had issues with his charger Hellcat and hated it. I've had a few minor issues but nothing serious and would absolutely buy another.
I'm hear for Marissa Red
I'm here for you too when you are ready to get into one like this!
Marissa Red Molnar, Right on. Thank You
The 1970 T/A had decals on the fenders, hence the reason they used decals on the new 392 T/A. A badge would look stupid.
Apple car play is so awesome! Can't wait to get it in the next car
I know, I was playing with it for quite a while and I'm not feeling my 2015 uConnect is not as awesome :(

Great job on the video! Wow look at the watch count
Thank you, I noticed this video is doing quite well.
Those seats are comfy but they’re useless once the leather starts to stretch. My buddy had the dealer replace the seat twice and the third time, I think they added some padding to something to bolster the leather. Not sure how that worked out wi5h the ventilated seats, but my buddy dumped the 5.7 for a Scat. Both are nice but I’ll take my Scat any day🐝🥰
I have the same seats in my 2015 scat and no issues 🤔 and I’m not a small guy.
Work Play Drive I’m only 6’2” and they’re great and my buddy is a couple inches taller and he likes em, too. It’s definitely a comfy car imo
😂😂😂 0nly 6’2” 😲
Work Play Drive haha I guess most of my friends are tall and I’m used to looking up😆
Fantastic review my brother...you and Go Red Racer sealed the deal for me. That t/a 392 is the reason for my treason. Mopar or no car!
💪
Happy to help!
Mustang GT owner here. Beautiful car, Dodge Challengers are very appealing. Hmmmm....LOLGreat video!
Thank you and you can always ride both sides of the fence :)
We have a Mustang v8 guy just trade his in and bought the car that is in this video. ua-cam.com/video/b5dS0bdOPsE/v-deo.html
oh no... you mean she's gone :(
The wife is on board with getting one, just gotta ge the finances in order first. Two car payments at one time is kinda tough.
Great segment sir!
Thank you 😊
Love the TA, but i don't think I'd get that color. Can't even see the decals unless you look real close.
Black with Matte black isn't as noticeable as other colors, but it creates a very cool effect that you can clearly see from far away.
@@WorkPlayDrive exactly. Only the one who saw black T/A for real understands this. The shiny reflection on the decals on sunny days is also crazy.
Ok here is the reason I do not like the T/A. The only difference between that and my 2017 scat pack is the wheel tires and breaks. All of which can be upgraded with ease. It is nice that the intake box is sealed but there are many other options out there. As to the head lights, as you know adding on the mopar headlight tube adds the best source for ram air (mine is an RT hood not shaker). I just don't see the real price increase for the options when you get all the way down to it. The Scat Pack is an awesome car to shave some of the money off the top and build as you need it. Not saying that it isn't a good looking package but I don't see the value in it.
who buys cars like this for Value :). I do agree, our cars are great as is, but there is something about the T/A that catches my eye
This is one badass ride 😎👍
Thank you 🙏
Where is our video on the exhaust install? Please?
I'm editing it down still on hour 6 of 10 :)
I'm a Ford Chevy and Dodge guy!!! I currently own a 2012 lava red Mustang 5.0 and I love these cars. I just wish they would take some weight off of them, I'm beating scat packs now with a tune and exhaust. I love the way they look, they just need to shave some weight off....
I agree on the weight, I'm just happy they keep making these cars so we can keep enjoying them!
OMG on the price though my Dream like car. Perelli tires! The excitement of owning a Dodge Challenger. Yep Yep Yep
It is a beautiful ride
Great video! Can any body tell me does 2018 challanger t/a 392 has a line lock feature or just launch control?
Other than the demon and RedEye line lock is not included. You can add line lock with the zAutomotive TaZer. ua-cam.com/video/zyubl0HUcj0/v-deo.html
The TA392 is nice but not enough for me to trade my Scat for. Also for that price, I would get a nice used Hellcat. Great video review though man!
Agreed, however I would take that hellcat and make it look like a T/A :) Is down-badging frowned upon 😂😂
Now that would be different (down badging a Hellcat).
Im stuck between a lightly used scat pack or a new 5.7 T/A+
Get the scatpack and add T/A badges and T/A hood to it so you will add more muscle to it...
love the black t/a. needs a different color stripe so it pops.
I love my 2019 black TA
only thing dodge missed with that is trumpet style side pipes with factory electric cut outs
Imagine if they started doing side pipes again that would be very sweet.
That would be bad ass! I love that idea.
Do you know if the TA come with a limited slip differential in the rear axle?
Looks like it does I see th listings with Mechanical Limited Slip Differential
I was just at the dealer looking at one and no mention was made on the sticker. Even the sales manager didn't know.
What is the song you were playing inside the TA? Oh, and Marissa is cute !
here you go - Song: Giraffe Squad - Wait For Me [NCS Release]

Nice video. Beautiful cars!!
Thank you!
nice vid. thanks bud.
Thank you 🙏
Good review, awesome car. Thanks.
Thank you!
Great Video!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Hey guys! So does the hood pins rust over time?
I would have to say it's not a clean cut answer. It depends on how you take care of your car.
I just installed a set on my car, the same MOPAR OEM used on the T/A These are well made and corrosion resistant. The pins are stainless Steel, the rest of the kit is painted/powder coated. and the cables are coated.
Bro what's the name of the song you play when you say we should know it? I love it. Thanks!
there are 2 songs in the description of the video with Links, if these are not the songs, just reply with the time in the video the song plays and I will look it up for you.
Hey bud just got my 2018 392 t/a. Where did you get that license plate at the bottom of your car?
It's the Sto-N-Sho here is my review with some info on which one to buy.
ua-cam.com/video/RytZZ3QsRiI/v-deo.html - links are in the description if you want to buy.
Sick get borla atak exhaust
Already have a killer exhaust setup :) ua-cam.com/video/l85AVPQWmOw/v-deo.html
Love your videos - beautiful voice and eloquent 👍👍👍
Thank you 🙏
when are getting the hellcat
To own? Probably not, I'm really leaning towards a Whipple or Magnuson for next year. I want to have a little more fun with this car. I've got a few on deck to review though....
OMG Marissa!
The regular T/A should have the bigger front splitter like the 392. Or an option for it
I should have ordered hood pins on my wide body ta 392
You can always install them yourself.
I did my scat pack. The mopar hood pins are pricy but they are one of the cleanest options and relatively easy to install. …once you get past drilling your hood 😬
There’s so many freaking Trims for the challenger that it gets freaking confusing haha. Best car out there though
I love the variety though, and like the T/A the small creative changes really make the car totally awesome.
Tell me about it. Try learning 4 different brands, their models, trims, and options for each.
Did that 392 sticker have a bubble? @ 6:25.
You know i did not notice it in person, but I did when I was editing...
Okay I have to get the light up ram air intake for my scat pack!! Where can I get these? Anyone?
From what I have found so far it's the full headlight assembly
