I am five years into owning a 2018 SRT 392. It's been perfect, and it still makes me smile. You road test guys never talk about the amazing features Dodge put into this car. Things like Brembo brakes all the way around, 6 piston calipers in the front, 4 pistons in the rear, two piece slotted front rotors, slotted rear rotors, air ducts to the front brakes (all yielding fantastic stopping power with almost zero nose dive), aluminum hood (yes, aluminum hood), Bilstein gas shocks, IRS front and rear (suspension based on the Mercedes E-Class), limited slip, stainless steel shorty headers on the engine, multi-mode exhaust (not an extra cost option). The ZF eight speed gear box is fabulous, every shift crisp, and it never leaves you in the wrong gear while slowing for a curve or while cornering. And corners - - - it corners perfectly flat. The paddle shifters function almost as quickly as a dual clutch automatic. Not a single fake air scoop. I could rave on. Nobody knows what this car is except for the guys and gals who are fortunate enough to own one and drive one every day. Last, my wife who hated my Mustang, loved this car from the first day I brought it home. Very smart gal.
All the enthusiasm is overwhelming in this video! The passenger seems to have never had caffeine and the driver somehow manages to have a voice that is both shrill & monotone at the same time.

its getting harder and harder to watch these one takes. it’s just rambling on about nothing. the owner doesn’t care about a documentary you saw and neither do we. stick to the car and stop speaking aimlessly.
This car sounds so good. I get people in these cars trying to race me all the time (I drive a Chevy SS) and it's annoying, but there's no complaining about the sound.
I only clicked on this video because I enjoy these cars so much, but man Zack is so dry and watching this video was so painful how awkward and uninvolved him and his passenger seemed to be.
Pretty normal to get seats cut when the dealer takes delivery and someone goes to remove the plastic with a box cutter never let the dealer off the hook for that crap
So glad Zack knows the difference between "Traction control" and Stability control". Fingers crossed he knows that putting an auto shifter lever into [2] will make the car start off in 2nd gear which dramatically slows acceleration times.
I was very happy with my Pzero All season plus tires on my 2012 C63. For all seasons it seems like they hold on pretty well. They let the car get in the 12s on a 1/4 mile pass.
07wrxtr1 ps4’s I’m convinced are the greatest tire on the market that isn’t some super sticky r888. I had Super sports on a car with about 360 whp and they would be useless and hold no traction after about 1/4 wear of the tread. I would go nowhere and spin all the way thru 3rd if I floored it from a dig. Now my car makes about 390whp on ps4’s and I can dead hook from a dig literally up until the tread reached the wear marks it’s absurd
Love the shirt, couldn't resist. Dope print and serving a wonderful cause. Can't wait to get it. As for the Charger, Bondurant Racing School uses these for instruction and they handle quite well and do a great job for exhibiting weight transfer that might not show through in a more "nimble" car.
I have a 2017 Chevrolet SS (4-door sedan) with LS-3 6.2L V8 and a 6-speed manual. I have the standard summer tires. Roomy, fast and delightful sound. These kind of cars are a hoot and practical at the same time (if you don't mind the gas consumption).
@Adelaide-Sky's Don't you think I already know this? But more to the point it is an SS in the U.S., and so that is what it should be called. If I visit Aussie land, I will call it a Commodore.
@Mr Calcium Think on this. I bought my new 2017 Chevy SS (aka Commodore) for US $36,000. Stole it! $10,000 off from GM and another 4,200 off from my GM credit card. Ever since then I ride with a smile on my face from the sound of that beautiful, wonderful LS-3.
Also, you can't compare a stock Challenger or Charger to an SRT model. You shouldn't speak in generalizations like every charger or Challenger handles the same. SRT 392 model is the one that's going to handle the most like a sports car (out of ALL of the trim levels.)
AMG--those cars are GREAT--when they work.I have had wealthy friends in my life and they have owned these cars from late 90s to about 2014--all these folks had at least one or more major expensive repairs all under 100k miles.I was looking at buying an SRT but got a Crosstour Type R instead.Car has never been in the shop--brakes are so strong that in 8 years of driving I have never had the ABS light go on.I test the ABS yearly when snow hits just to make sure it works.Long story short--I was given an srt-8 in 2011 that had about 2k miles on it and at the first stoplight I turned the AC on just to test it and the car almost conked out and the check engine light stayed on till the next day and went off on the way back to the dealership.Dodges reliability is barely better then AMG.I would only buy one of these used with less then 10k miles and I would keep a bank account with about 3k in it just in case of some major breakdown after the warranty expires. If you can not buy one of these outright I would not own one--it could break you financially.Also my average MPG was 13--and that was after I reset it and drove the car pretty normally--I sped on the Hwy-bt I did not drive aggressively for 99% of the time.The last thing anyone should do is finance one of these things to your financial limit because your emotions override your sense.These cars are great and I might look into getting another v8 American car--but I have the cash to clunk 40k down on a slightly used one--having finances in case of a major breakdown.
@@smokoguap LOl--Hell no--I would not pay over 35k for a 2018 with under 30k miles--after 60k these cars have serious big time money draining repairs.BTW I have a Kona N and its almost as fast and probably 4 times as reliable and way way better on gas--so what if it takes me an extra 5 seconds to get to 160 MPH--everything is better and more modern then an SRT--plus they get single digit MPG--sont belive me put a deposit down on one and drive it for a few days or over the weekend.
Kid is like... I love the car cause it's 1/2 the price of e63 amg... but then he knocks the interior. Brah. Pick your poison. The car is fast and the seats are comfortable. Nobody picking a car over the dash material
I truly love the stance and look better then the hellcat. Why I’m not sure if it’s the wheels,hood etc but I would rather buy this model in 2015,16,17 or 2018. They sound amazing!
If you want something done right you gotta do it yourself. I was lookong forward to Matt Farahs review. He is relatable to all of us who still get giddy when we get to drive a fun car. This guy shows no passion
Welcome To The Madness I agree. But unfortunately that will never happen. I feel like that is the difference between the charger and challenger. It probably doesn't pay for dodge to produce manual chargers for the very few buyers. And those buyers would be ditching buying a challenger. In my eyes it would not make sense producing a manual charger. Look at the Chevy SS. Very little sales. Had to discontinue. What a shame. A manual rear wheel drive, naturally aspirated v8 sedan. Pretty much extinct
This video was one year ago and it's terrible you had to introduce the video talking about the wildfires in California, and here we are one year later and well, it's worse :-( I really hope things improve for you guys in terms of all these crazy fires. ✌
Yeah nothing like paying $50,000 for a car and having to service it yourself because the companies to inept and the dealership's can't train or hire decent mechanics.
You know why all these dirtbags are hating on Zack? They’re jealous. Matt has been doing the car guys dream job long enough to earn some respect among car guys, and then he stepped down and let Zack in on the one takes and the haters wish it was them. They obviously haven’t listened to one podcast or they would’ve known Zack has been around just as long.
As a lifter, the Eddie Hall reference tickled my fancies. Though Eddie actually weighs roughly the same as Thor and Brian Shaw, just like half a foot shorter
good job being safe around bikes/traffic. Zack mentioned the shift points too soon and I think that is to satisfy EPA. the solution is shift manually. you have two options with stick and paddles. Scat Packs have 3.09 rear end, does the SRT have that? Ü
woofer devlin Modern Mopars will shift differently for different drivers. They learn the driver’s behavior and adjust to it. There’s actually a fuse you can pull, every few days, if you get annoyed with the car doing it. With that said, it’s an 8 speed transmission, mounted to a heavy sedan. It’s geared to make launching the heavy vehicle quick and to have good passing power. But it’s not geared for canyon carving. Still... If Zach drove it for a week and the car learned his behavior -and he shifted manually, from time to time-, the car might shift more to his liking.
great info, thanks. I drive 90% manual and when I do auto, it bogs due to early shift. this is due to mileage regulations by EPA. RPMs = fuel consumption, builders counter that with early shifts. to beat the bog and the regulations, shift manually. from someone who has driven semis, articulated transit bus, and '73 Chrysler Town and Country, the Charger is not too heavy to have a blast in the twisties. when entering a curve, flick the paddle down shift and the rev match happens automatically. keep rpms 3500-4000 and your at peak power curve coming out. bog makes the car feel heavier. so keep the rpms up and the car feels lighter, more tossable, and nimble on its feet. Ü woof
How’s the fuel consumption on one of these? I doubt most concern themselves with that but if I do get one of these I’ll need a ballpark figure since I put about 35k a year on my car lol
that car has the most beautiful tail light at night.....the problem is it seems chryslers dont last long....there used to be lots of the first gen new 300, chargers and magnum here in los angeles......now i dont see much
You can tell the 392 doesnt excite the host at all! If you notice he constantly reiterates "if you want it all buy an E63 Mercedes" Than the owner chimes in "or buy the new M5"😂😂
@Warm Soft Kitty Absolutely correct. Tell most 392 owners that. I cant count the times a 392 owner compares his car to a Mercedes Amg, BMW M5 and expect you to believe that blasphemy.
@@Turshin price for price I would just get the ss. Also I never go by epa mpg, my 2010 mustang supposedly gets 15 city but I average 18 with a stick. Also I don't really see much difference in a 2018 gt premium and my 2010 gt premium. Besides the dropping of the solid rear axle, dynamic driving modes it's not enough to get a 45k car over a 17k car. Just my opinion but the styling as you said on the "ss" is way to soft.
I’d take a SS but it’s personal preference, the SRT(discontinued as well) is a lot more power and brut, which is badass. But that SS just seems to be a drivers car, tough call can’t go wrong with either
Wait can I still get the classic shirts for now? I wore mine constantly buy recently had a washer problem that resulted in my wardrobe looking like it was for someone who's not out of shape like me
Why compare the handling of a Charger SRT 392 to a Challenger Hellcat? Apples-to-apples would be a Challenger SRT 392 to a Charger SRT 392. By the way, the challengers weighs less - isn't it safe to assume that the Challenger handles a little bit better being a slightly smaller car and lighter car? And he said it himself, there's only a 1% difference in the weight distribution.
Honestly, the dash doesn't really bother me that much. I bought a nice cover for it and it's like I never see it (not to mention having the peace of mind that I'm preserving the material from UV exposure).
Man Zack is so hard to watch he’s so bad at this, he’s boring as hell and he talks with no enthusiasm, and he doesn’t drive fast or confident, we need Matt back.
"...when a car is predictable I just feel safer in it and it's just more enjoyable to drive when it got the right way bounce". This is exactly WHY all those "sport cars tests" are useless for most of us the "above average entusiast driver" because they always emphasize too much on the sport dimension as being "how much the car is trying to kill you when you push it". For a lot of us car enjoyment is not about spending our times going sideways burning pricey rubber or trying to control withoput crashing a car dangerous behaviour... That's why all those over-powered rear wheel drives and mid-engine snap-spinning cars are so praised by pro testers, and why terrificly predictable and easy cars to drive fast without much danger like the Audi TT-RS/S/RS3 are underapreciated by them and judged "boring". They are not ! I love pushing my cars (why do we have big blocks if it's for always driving 7/10?), but I hate sweating to do so when approcahing the limits. The more safer I feel the best it is. I don't have enough money to go on tracks every week and doing a Paul Walker like when I have a family to take care of...no sorry ;)
Good review by Zack. There's a lot of haters here, but I appreciate the low-key review that doesn't make it sound like your puffed up opinion is the only opinion to rule the land (ahem). Also, thanks for driving considerately/safely around the cyclists! Not all driving enthusiasts have to drive like a-holes...
I don't have a problem with Zack and I think he gets more flak than deserved, but this video was hard to watch. The passenger was definitely not interested in what was going on so i'm sure it was hard for Zack to even engage him in the lack of conversation. Would of been better if Zack went solo and just talked about the car.
That Eddie Hall reference was a real streeeetch. Stick to the car Zack... but I'm sure you know this already... learning curve - Matt was cringey back in the beginning... and I would be much much much worse lol

@Warm Soft Kitty Absolutely correct. Tell most 392 owners that. I cant count the times a 392 owner compares his car to a Mercedes Amg, BMW M5 and expect you to believe that blasphemy.
Feelin those little wiggles and squiggles
should i buy a charger srt 392 orrrrr a jeep grand cherokee srt?? HELP
matt please come back 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Love the contour in the back
looks like a "Brad" type of car....maybe even Chad, Thad, or Kyle
Who would rather have a used SS with a manual?
Id rather have this charger which is faster, looks better, more modern amenities, and gets better gas mileage
Me.
@@Turshin price for price I would just get the ss. Also I never go by epa mpg, my 2010 mustang supposedly gets 15 city but I average 18 with a stick. Also I don't really see much difference in a 2018 gt premium and my 2010 gt premium. Besides the dropping of the solid rear axle, dynamic driving modes it's not enough to get a 45k car over a 17k car. Just my opinion but the styling as you said on the "ss" is way to soft.
I’d take a SS but it’s personal preference, the SRT(discontinued as well) is a lot more power and brut, which is badass. But that SS just seems to be a drivers car, tough call can’t go wrong with either
Nope!
Wait can I still get the classic shirts for now? I wore mine constantly buy recently had a washer problem that resulted in my wardrobe looking like it was for someone who's not out of shape like me
Very cool shirt. And what a great cause.
Zack....coffee bro ask matt for some high octane coffee, then do same review.
Why compare the handling of a Charger SRT 392 to a Challenger Hellcat? Apples-to-apples would be a Challenger SRT 392 to a Charger SRT 392. By the way, the challengers weighs less - isn't it safe to assume that the Challenger handles a little bit better being a slightly smaller car and lighter car? And he said it himself, there's only a 1% difference in the weight distribution.
Honestly, the dash doesn't really bother me that much. I bought a nice cover for it and it's like I never see it (not to mention having the peace of mind that I'm preserving the material from UV exposure).
This passengers voice makes me wish the driver had an eject button..
Tell me about the SVT Contour in the background ! Cool "old" car - nearly forgotten ...
Oh man this video was horrible!!! In clicked because I love the car . Man these two together is better than nightquil!
Perfect police cruiser. :)
Man Zack is so hard to watch he’s so bad at this, he’s boring as hell and he talks with no enthusiasm, and he doesn’t drive fast or confident, we need Matt back.
was this filmed before the fires?
Pretty sure if you hold the esp button for 5 seconds all traction and stability control comes off.
Does dodge still make srt 392 or just straight to hellcat?
Yeah the 2019’s are rt scatpacks now
"...when a car is predictable I just feel safer in it and it's just more enjoyable to drive when it got the right way bounce". This is exactly WHY all those "sport cars tests" are useless for most of us the "above average entusiast driver" because they always emphasize too much on the sport dimension as being "how much the car is trying to kill you when you push it". For a lot of us car enjoyment is not about spending our times going sideways burning pricey rubber or trying to control withoput crashing a car dangerous behaviour... That's why all those over-powered rear wheel drives and mid-engine snap-spinning cars are so praised by pro testers, and why terrificly predictable and easy cars to drive fast without much danger like the Audi TT-RS/S/RS3 are underapreciated by them and judged "boring". They are not ! I love pushing my cars (why do we have big blocks if it's for always driving 7/10?), but I hate sweating to do so when approcahing the limits. The more safer I feel the best it is. I don't have enough money to go on tracks every week and doing a Paul Walker like when I have a family to take care of...no sorry ;)
Zack is a great host and driver
Maybe, but we came here for Matt. Wtf.. its like Top Gear changing its cast.
isn't this the exact brad that would have an automatic charger
Soon as you said “4500 lb curb weight” I shut the video off.. Almost as heavy as my prom date.
Love your content tho.
Challnger SRT 392 weighs 4240 (at least the 2016 does.) A little better than 4500 in the Charger. Edit: Charger is actually 4410.
Good review by Zack. There's a lot of haters here, but I appreciate the low-key review that doesn't make it sound like your puffed up opinion is the only opinion to rule the land (ahem). Also, thanks for driving considerately/safely around the cyclists! Not all driving enthusiasts have to drive like a-holes...
I’m in the market and they are not cheap...I found a few used ones with low miles and they run around 40,000
Tell us more about the dynamics as you drive the car.....I think the car is fun. Confirm my suspicion.
I don't have a problem with Zack and I think he gets more flak than deserved, but this video was hard to watch. The passenger was definitely not interested in what was going on so i'm sure it was hard for Zack to even engage him in the lack of conversation. Would of been better if Zack went solo and just talked about the car.
Even though I like the dude hosting, I couldn't help but to wonder how he is at wine tasting events.
If that's a socal only car, ditch those all seasons and get a UHP summer
SRT392 sounds wayyyy better than an E63
that’s a real nice charge 🤣
That Eddie Hall reference was a real streeeetch. Stick to the car Zack... but I'm sure you know this already... learning curve - Matt was cringey back in the beginning... and I would be much much much worse lol
Brad/B-rad...the type of dude that shakes your hand like a girl.
My dad's friend's daughter has a Dodge Challenge...
Angeles Crest Highway, nice road.
Wow the fires burned the Snake 🐍?? WTF. Wow
At least the road can't burn. Only the surroundings. It'll be better off in the long run and it will start looking nicer in a few years.
how much gas do you spend on a week
