- While in Houston for a weekend I was able to drive the RT Dodge Challenger that is equipped with the beefy Hemi V8. For base model V8 trim I was pleasantly surprised on the amount of excitement.

It doesn't matter what car can beat what car in an era were an electric Kia Shitbox can walk a Hellcat Redeye. What matters is driving engagement and how the car makes you feel. The R/T makes the right noises, looks right, fun to drive and is nearly indistinguishable from a Hellcat from more than 20 feet away to most people. They are great cars.
Bought this car on Saturday and I love it.
The R/T is the best bang for the buck
not really.... my Silverado has more horsepower.. you want bang for buck ? get a LT1 camaro
@@MrMoney-gr3lb your mom is a truck
hello :)
mike lovell finding an LT1 is very very hard n it doesn’t have a 5.7HEMI “displacement=power”
@@Fords_N_Fishin 6.2 litre is faster than a 5.7 "hemi" and i have a 2 real hemi's in my garage like real real not in just name
Great car, and the 5.7 takes to mods really well, its a very tough motor
Not to critisize bro but the Challenger was introduced in 1970 and the new retro release was in 2008. I did thoroughly enjoy this video tho. Great presentation
My dealer tried his best to sell me a V6 because thats what he had in the lot at that time. I was like no way I am buying an underpowered v6 muscle car. Has to be V8.
Same 😂 I managed to get a 2016 RT plus w only 32k miles on it. Picking it up Monday can’t fkn wait
I just got the RT. Love the crap out of it!
Got my RT two weeks ago. I’m in love 🥰
Got one Friday and I’m having a blast!!
Good job! You presented this video well except for the Challenger being introduced in 1970. You must have seen Vanishing Point, no?? It's a major reason why so many gravitated to this model. The R/T is an amazing beast with an array of options available. The Shaker Plus package and the heavy duty / handling suspension enhances the ownership experience immensely. My 2020 R/T listed for $48,500 with almost every option except the two tone interior and sunroof. After one year of ownership I am still smiling each time I take it out.
I got a 2020 RT yesterday
And i love it ❤❤❤
Nice video Ben!
Thanks for the excellent review, I have 300 miles on a new 2022 R/T Plus which seemed like the best trim level for long distance cross country touring. You should teach video production.
Good review my brother, I would go with the R/T plus, hopefully before they’re all gone.
I rented a rt to see if i liked enough to buy it was a waste of 80$ I new in 2 mins it was for me. Placed a special order on one. These cars drive like silk
@@halcyonoutlander2105 yes I love it. The v6 cars are softest. The scat packs are stiff. I got the rt thats somewhere in the middle I love it rides good smooth on the road a bit harsh on bad roads but on normal roads it rides smooth.. i like it and 5.7 gas mileage is great runs ok 87 gas to
@@josephpuzzo1 oh man i put 91 in mine, dont cheap out on a good car they run better and more efficiently on 91, at least put 89 in it
@@kd-jj1rn I owned the car 6 mons now and testes 87 89 91 and 93 and the car loves 89 octane thr best even over 91 and 93 octane I did tons of 0-60 tests on all grades and the 89 octane gas gives me a 4.6 0-60 I lost power with the 91 and 93. Im super happy with the 4.6!
@@josephpuzzo1 I VERY much agree with you! I was able to get a 4.3! All stock! Using the paddle shifters while in sport mode! Makes it sound even meaner!!
Gréât vid bro… getting mine this May 2022 R/T
Congrats man 👍🏾
I would probably like to have R/T Challenge plus 2021 if Affordable .
Would get it with the 8 inch u connect and leather seats
Excellent review brother! The R/T is definitely slept on and to me it made the most sense. I have a new baby and insurance was about to rape me for the Scat Pack lol. I'm completely fine with what I have and the 5.7L can be easily modded to see some nice gains in HP!
What are some of the mods bro ?
@@anngel85 Headers, cat back exhaust and upgraded cam are the easiest to do + a tune
Not that easily modded for significant hp. Its very expensive to get big reliable power out of a 5.7 you are better off to get a 6.4 . Coming from the 5.7 owner
Hellcat guys say your better off getting the Hellcat, Hellcat Redeye guys say your better off with that. Demon guys say you’re better off with the Demon, so there’s always something else. 5.7 Hemi has been modded for more than any Mopar motor. Sure it takes money, but it’s for people that like to work on their own.
I'm thinking of the R/T SCAT PACK WIDE BODY....Not to much difference in the SXT or the GT, and I agree with you...you get a muscle car for the raw power. I think the V-6 models are for those who may be able to get a V8 and that's fine. But definitely R/T is the way I am leaning.
Just bought my R/T challenger 2022 pitch black … in JAN AND THEY said should be ready by May 1st . Or around that date … I got the plus package n the cold package plus the Harman sound system and 8.5 navigation screen .., reg black seats with the R/T dual black stripes on both sides .. can’t wait till it’s ready … dam chip shortage but got 1 more month to go … great video man and nice ride 👌👌👌
Congrats bro , have fun with your new whip
#WONDERFUL, #ENJOY!😄💫🙏💜😇
How you like it ?
@@rodboi100 it’s amazing …got it on July 23rd and each day I drive it feels like the first day … great sound …unreal … you can’t really tell from the videos …will post a new video with the whole car on and off and more into detail n I will try to bring the sound of engine on video as clear as possible … it’s a real beauty of a car …everyone stops n looks … I mean everyone …they hear you coming before they see you 😊😊😊
I own the 2020 RT Plus Shaker, and it is badass! I have it loaded, Brenbo Brakes, auto sunroof, etc... 375 HP/410 Foot pounds, but it feels closer to 400 HP in Sport mode...
That's because it probably is! I have a 2016 RT 6 speed manual and i think it makes at least 390-400 hp stock
@@kd-jj1rn Correct, it's been shown to make like 360 or so wheel horsepower which means at the crank it's making above 400, and that's the same situation with the Scat Pack
Yea I just got this car 6 days ago it’s def worth it it’s loud and it gets looks mad sexy imma modfiy it though
I just purchase 2021 rt f8 green 💚 when I say I'm in love 💕
Congratulations on the new whip Tonya!
nice car :)
Thanks for this review, hey I rented this car from Hertz when I was traveling and it was AWESOME. It's hard to believe that it is only low 400s in torque feels MUCH stronger.
Facts !! When he said dodge kept the challenger looking the same if ford would of kept the body style of the s197 I think it would of looked way better
Wish we had similar prices here in good old Europe.
Oh, just noticed your name check this out I'm restoring a 1970 Road Runner right now. The engine is out and being modified probably stroking but I'm waiting in line at the engine builder right now. Let me know if that is of interest I'll email you some shots.
im looking to buy a 2019 rt challenger in 2023💪🏻
The Challenger has been manufactured in Brampton Ontario, Canada since 2008. 🇨🇦
There are 100s of reasons that you should buy a Microphone 🤦♂️
Or get good speakers or go to doctor
I just watched your video. Very informative, very good overall. I'm looking at buying the RT awd V8 Challenger with the black leather pkg. I'm looking at the awd since I live in MI with snow on the roads. Right now I'm just flirting, but I'm sure I'll fall in love with it when I finally take my first test drive. Thanks for the great video.
Yes you will not be disappointed
Wait... theres an awd RT now!?
They don't make an RT awd. Just SXT and GT.
Camaro's and Mustangs have high chances of blasting Britney Spears. The Challenger would be cranking AC/DC.
Agreed 😎
How is the sounds system in this car? I listen to rap and metal alot and I was wondering how good the bass is.
Nathaniel Reusser surprisingly good. I listen to rap mostly and was surprised with the quality. Not the best I’ve heard but somewhere in the middle
Looking at buying a 2020 r/t but manual. Currently drive a plug in hybrid fusion haha
Alex James Manuel is the way to go! You will not be disappointed
A8 is faster and way smoother but hey do what you want bro.
I wanted the stick so bad and tested the auto it was so much fun!! It shifts so hard..drive both
Sounds awesome. I do not think the Hemi comes with AWD.
RT is only in RWD. The GT mostly comes in AWD
Damn..gotta pay the lump sum of 150k with all the taxes and import fees for the same car here in Norway😢
Yea that’s way to much for this car. It would be cheaper to Move to the US for a few years 😂
Mustang and Camaro are not really muscle cars, they are smaller and come with smaller performance engines. Really, the Challenger is the last of the muscles cars. Good video!
what is the avarage fuel economy?
American made- in Canada.
If your gonna review a car like this at least be aware of some general facts and numbers about the car. Dont do horsepower guesses dude. That just shows your unprepared.
Lol the dash play is called soft touch
Please fix the loose panel.
Challenger and charger and some other of there vehicles are Canadian made while the engines are made in Mexico
All wheel drive comes with v6 only
Is it reliable and cheap to maintain?
If you live in America yes.
How tall are you? The challengers look very compact.
-Dimitri - the interior is all black which makes it look small. That’s a main reason why most cars have light headliner. I’m 6 feet with a big head lol
@@RoadRunnaReviews yu think someone let's say my height, 5'4 would have any troubles
-Dimitri - absolutely not. The seat can adjust very well. The car does have large blind spots however you should have no issues. I recommend test driving at your local dealer and see if you like it.
I test drove one yesterday and I'm 6'7 and didn't have no problems very comfortable and lot of room
6 cup holders
375 hp 410 torque bro
2017 V6 challenger charcoal grey with charcoal grey 20 inch rims. I still get attention from women
Whoever says the Rt is slow is CAP .
$28-$35K ?!? That's pre-Joe Biden prices! They $38-$45k now...🇺🇸😭
Nice try on the years the original Challenger was produced.
The Ford Mustang GT with it's coyote engine is the
best bang for your buck, not a Challenger..I've
owned both cars and hands down the Mustang wins.
Rattling.......loose. You're welcome.
375hp not 350
You can't get AWD in a RT. Only GT
V6 muscle cars suck if u want to call them muscle cars...lol
wow... a lot of facts and straight forward information without contradiction (all the cars are great except the V6)... thanks for wasting my time and making dodge look bad. "It's true to its identity and it's so unique." really!!??
Too slow!
i am getting Tesla Better Dodge
I had a 2016 shaker...what a piece of junk..didn't keep it long..20 miles and at low speed I would turn a corner and rear end had a hum,,not one quarter panel fit correctly gaps everywhere, the fit and finish was terrible..motor was loud,tick tick dumped it and bought a zl1 camaro,,fit and finish is bang on.motor runs like a well oiled machine..big difference..sorry mopar guys..
