I had to come back to this video. I remember binging on your channel 2016-2017. Then i bought a Challenger RT in 2017. Sold it during covid. Now just bought a Charger Scatpack WB. I had to come back where it started for me. I appreciate this video in particular a lot.
Haha this guy sounds like me. I just turned 29 and after getting the bug for this car for over a month I bought one 2013 rt 6 speed. I've had it a month, and still look for excuses to go to out to take her for a spin. I will say this car is faster then the old 2009 challenger reviews say. I am easily pulling 5.1-5.3 0-60 consistently. I'm looking to taking it to the track in a couple weeks and throwing down a mid 13 sec quarter time. Okay I'm done babbling on about how bad ass these cars are. Just can't stop grinning like the dam grinch driving this thing haha.
Beautiful car and an awesome video, and funny enough this was somewhat of a better review of what it's like to drive the Challenger than most other professional vids I've seen!
Awesome, man. I'm actually in the process of trading up now. Searched UA-cam for R/T videos and found yours. I was already sold, but you just made me feel like I'm making the right decision.
Hell yeah man just got my 2014 challenger RT couple days ago it toke me 2 minutes to go thru the gears and hear that hemi I was sold I also live in NC got mine in black nice!
nice video, I drive this exact model (12' ) for 18 months, just an awesome value for the money, in the end, I moved up to an SRT8 392 this year,noticeable boost in power ,...but honestly, in retrospect, the RT w/ STP 6M was plenty of car for me.
+Bearded_Because Cool! I'll tell you, there's plenty of room for kids in this. You can fit three average size adults back there with no problem, so no prob at all with little ones. Granted, a four-door is easier to access, of course.. but that should not prevent you from buying a Challenger if you want one. And your wife should be happy to know that Dodge provide child seat clamps for THREE across the back seat. Yes, even the middle seat can accomodate a child seat.
Great video bud i bought a 2013 challenger sxt plus with sport mode and paddle shifters its saves gas but im gona be trading it in soon for the rt 6 speed i hope alot of my friends have it and boy is it a big diffrence should have thought it through... and saved me some money im gona take a loss but its ok love what you did on the tail lights im gona refrain from upgrades untill i get the rt ive had mine 10 months now
@Mark the chrome trim was something I added. I got it online, though I honestly can't tell the difference from the stuff you can get in stores, other than it having 3M adhesive. I also added the Challenger badge. The overlay kit is just plain black with an option of chrome DODGE letters
I have an SRT that's the same color, and it also has red hash marks on its hood but says Mopar. But it has the rear deck bumblebee stripe in back, and looks really good. I also got rid of the exhaust, and went with SLP Loudmouths. They not only sound great, they also weigh about 50lbs less than those big ass collectors and resonators do from the factory. We all know that Challenger could use to loose a few pounds, so its plusses all around.
dayummm buddy!! Ive always wanted a challenger and looking into getting one and coudnt decide about auto or manual you've helped me out with that a lot!!
Man does that thing sound nice. Test drove a 2015 today, dealer only had a automatic. I will only consider a six-speed. It was enjoyable to drive however.
Damn man, your car is a boss. Been thinking really hard about getting a new Challenger, props for the little tips you gave in this video. Good mods, glad to know how loud it can be with straights, too. Cheers.
I like the Daytona lights . I was wondering how you did the chrome trim. I do not like the reverse lights. I will come out with something to fix that. Thanks for the tip on the exhaust . This is from los angeles. I will show pictures of my hemi when it is all done .
The chrome trim was just the basic 3M chrome trim that you can buy in an auto parts store. I ordered mine on-line because I thought it was going to be better quality than the cheap stuff in the store but honestly when I got it I couldn't tell the difference. I have the taillight overlays on my SRT now but I've removed the chrome.
I got the overlays from Scott White Parts in Hickory, NC. HPP makes it, though it comes plain (no chrome trim or Challenger badging). I can appreciate the SRT fans but the R/T was the right choice for me. With a Diablosport tuner, the R/T pushes out 400 HP, which is plenty for this 38 year old dad. The only other thing I would like to add to this car is the Cragar SS style Heritage wheels. Unless I hit the lotto, I will be holding on to this car for a long time.
Thanks all! Maltaboy, the chrome trim did not come with the kit , nor did the Chsllenger badge. I got the trim online as a roll and just cut it to size. The chrome was supposed to be better than what you get in auto parts stores but I honestly can't tell the difference , aside from this having 3M adhesive. But it worked fine and is holding up to the weather fine.
Awesome brother!! It does sets you back into your seat, my brother had on with the six speed. I have respect for all cars, but just driving a Hemi challenger.. Nothing like it!! Enjoy your car!!👍
Beautiful car bro, Sadly I have an SE challenger, didn't know much about dodge when I bought and thought they were all the same. I'm looking to upgrade sometime next year.
At least your dealership was smart enough to grant your request to not drill the holes on the front bumper for the plates. I have to figure out how to fill my in and paint the stock blue over it. Does look a whole hell of a lot better with the solid bumper.
Great great video dude I really enjoyed it. I have a 2012 rt and I absolutely love it , my dad has always been a gm type of guy and he often tried talking me out of buying a dodge .. After ignoring his suggestions I brought the challenger to his house and he's loved it ever since. . I've owned my rt for nearly 7 mos and I still look for excuses to drive it . Great car
Very nice, i have one and i love IT! Like you say it's not the fastes but it's perfect for me, tons of looks, I have the white one with black hood stripes.
Nice hemi! I just traded my sxt for an rt (auto :( lol) 2 weeks ago I was thinking flowmaster american thunder but that reso delete on yours sounds great I might go that route n save money
Yeah it's definitely a money saver. But we prepared for the drone in the car - it's a lot louder than the stock set up! That Reflectix stuff works pretty well in cutting back on the interior noise and is very cheap.
Mileage varies. I recently drove a 6 hour round trip and I averaged around 28 mpg, which was a nice surprise considering my old 4 cylinder Mazda got little better than that.
Awesome. Just awesome. Take care of that baby. That's going to be a legacy you might be able to leave behind to your son if he takes care of it too. Beautiful car though. Congratulations.
So good modifications would be cutting off the resonators and replace them with a straight pipe, get a new exhaust system and the muffler? I don't know much about upgrades all I know is I want it to sound good! It would be nice to get feedback from anyone.
really nice video, but man how could take a nap in your house ? BTW i'm thinking to get SRT 392 used or brand new RT. finally i'm gonna make a big move from BMW right now i own M5 E39 with some tuning,so i really hope that i won't be disappointed in handling,power:P the reason i'm getting this is because of the HEMI and THE LOOK OF THIS CAR. so yeah till then and now i got one new subscriber in your channel cuz you're a good GUY.
@Gul K, I feel your pain, but my only tip is to not worry about buying cars at this in your life. Focus on your education and creating a successful career for yourself. Then you can buy whatever car you want
I really like the chrome you added to the Daytona overlays. Can you tell me where you purchased the chrome? Was it a kit? I would like to do the same thing thanks!
You should make a how to shift the challenger because my challengers clutch u have to push it hard and fast or it will kill it so I don't know how to fix it to make it shift normal. can I get some help with that? Thanks
I like the tail lights of your challenger more than those at other challengers. Did you order it like this or are these lights really available on all Challengers? It really looks way more cheesier and also friendlier.
Recently got my 09 srt8 challenger with the 6-speed and I agree. I can’t imagine daily driving my challenger as a automatic. Would not be the same and I would sell it. I’m spoiled now with stick.
Just got my Daytona Taillight Overlays in the mail from Heide Performance Products .There are two holes the size of a half dollar coin, which don't give you much light out the back. But at lease show that you are backing . Also you have to remove the factory Dodge emblem on the factory center tail light lens using a heat gun or hair dryer. The two holes for the back up lights are louvered inside the holes thinking about cutting out them louvers to provide more rear light.but can do after seeing how it works as is.
great video! can you help me find the reflectix you were talking about lining the trunk with. I had an exhaust installed on my RT charger. I am having some heavy drone.
Beautiful car man,I love the overlays. How much of the backup lighting is restricted I noticed when I went to order a heavy black mesh over the openings.
I put the chrome trim inside mine too. Gotta be careful though. The first trim I bought, was nothing more than cheap junk. The second time around I ended up getting actual stainless trim. Can't remember who I bought the nice stuff off of. I think maybe Billet. Either way, some companies put out some seriously cheap crap that just looks like metal, but is thin plastic.
Very nice review! I had a 11 SE 3.6 base car new for one year. Traded it for a base 13 RT automatic. Dealer had two plum crazy purple cars on the lot and my wife talked me into trading it for a 14 RT Classic. Its loaded and love it! I think Im done upgrading. Have you done a skip shift eliminator yet? Once again, nice video!
now we going to stop by the gas station it almost took the full tank good people good I love this car hey dude how is In gas I live in the city how do you think this would do
I just purchased a 2014 R/T yesterday in the same color scheme as yours. I will be picking it up at the dealer Tuesday night after work. Did you only remove the resonators or was there an additional modification to achieve that exhaust note? Your R/T Plus sounds amazing!!
Hey, congrats on your purchase! You'll LOVE the car. The only thing I did was have the resonators removed and replaced with straight pipe. And remember, the resonators are the ones back by the bumper - don't let anyone tell you different! I actually just traded in this car for a SRT8. I plan to do the same exhaust cause, yeah I agree, the sound is great! Enjoy yours!
Six more months and this is mine! Five years of hard work. Time for a toy!
I'll get one soon, I hope you enjoy it :)
Loved the car! But needed the use of a truck. Went with a Ram 1500 Crew Cab!
How do you feel about them now in 2019
Im there also 3 years for me. Van and truck. $900.00 payment gone lol
Clayton Brunson 4 more months for me
I’m 25 years old and just copped the 2013 rt manual 6 speed and I feel great ! This video explains how I feel like a kid again haha
You hit the nail on the head with your comments bud. I love the feeling of blowing through 4000rpm and feeling the whole car shake from that hemi.
I had to come back to this video. I remember binging on your channel 2016-2017. Then i bought a Challenger RT in 2017. Sold it during covid. Now just bought a Charger Scatpack WB. I had to come back where it started for me. I appreciate this video in particular a lot.
I really like the mini van, great color
😭😭😭😭
Dude is not a minivan you dumb ass
@@masonrahmani6746 he meant the toyota in the background, obviously not the challenger. get the stick out of your ass lmao
Love your car. I have a 2013 hemi orange R/T which has to be the most amazing car I've owned.
Haha this guy sounds like me. I just turned 29 and after getting the bug for this car for over a month I bought one 2013 rt 6 speed. I've had it a month, and still look for excuses to go to out to take her for a spin. I will say this car is faster then the old 2009 challenger reviews say. I am easily pulling 5.1-5.3 0-60 consistently. I'm looking to taking it to the track in a couple weeks and throwing down a mid 13 sec quarter time. Okay I'm done babbling on about how bad ass these cars are. Just can't stop grinning like the dam grinch driving this thing haha.
FBI:😂
U still have it ?
Beautiful car and an awesome video, and funny enough this was somewhat of a better review of what it's like to drive the Challenger than most other professional vids I've seen!
I was so glad to see those car seats in the back. For a moment I thought I would have to settle for a Charger.
you and me both man, i got a bit of a ways for kids but this vid and others gave me hope
Charger has far to many doors for me.
Same 😭
Awesome, man. I'm actually in the process of trading up now. Searched UA-cam for R/T videos and found yours. I was already sold, but you just made me feel like I'm making the right decision.
Hell yeah man just got my 2014 challenger RT couple days ago it toke me 2 minutes to go thru the gears and hear that hemi I was sold I also live in NC got mine in black nice!
nice video, I drive this exact model (12' ) for 18 months, just an awesome value for the money,
in the end, I moved up to an SRT8 392 this year,noticeable boost in power ,...but honestly, in retrospect, the RT w/ STP 6M was plenty of car for me.
nice car , my OCD loves how parallel you were parked to your lawn in the video!! own a SRT 2015 manual, Crystal metallic!!
So happy to see you have car seats in the back..Lol I'm picking up my Challenger this week and my wife was nervous about our boys car seat fitting.
+Bearded_Because Cool! I'll tell you, there's plenty of room for kids in this. You can fit three average size adults back there with no problem, so no prob at all with little ones. Granted, a four-door is easier to access, of course.. but that should not prevent you from buying a Challenger if you want one. And your wife should be happy to know that Dodge provide child seat clamps for THREE across the back seat. Yes, even the middle seat can accomodate a child seat.
love the back end on yours, it looks WAY better like that
I highly agree
Congrats man nice car love the taillights
Well done bud. Finally someone who mods the tail end - looks good I'll have to remember that when I get my RT ;p
No me imaginé que hubiera estándar 😯
Great video dude your the best freakin story teller. I’m about to purchase a used 13 RT plus and this video sealed the deal. Thanks👍🏾
Great video bud i bought a 2013 challenger sxt plus with sport mode and paddle shifters its saves gas but im gona be trading it in soon for the rt 6 speed i hope alot of my friends have it and boy is it a big diffrence should have thought it through... and saved me some money im gona take a loss but its ok love what you did on the tail lights im gona refrain from upgrades untill i get the rt ive had mine 10 months now

Nice car man and good review!
Can't wait for the Hell Cat to hit the streets!!!
Get you a mopar Cai you will love it!! Got one for my 2011 v6 Rally give it a little more pep and the sound is awesome!
dayummm buddy!! Ive always wanted a challenger and looking into getting one and coudnt decide about auto or manual you've helped me out with that a lot!!
This Custom Black 🐈⬛🐈⬛ 2013 Dodge Challenger RT is tight.
Damn that car sounds mean! Nice choice with the 6-speed. I could never have a muscle car without a stick haha.
Man does that thing sound nice. Test drove a 2015 today, dealer only had a automatic. I will only consider a six-speed. It was enjoyable to drive however.
Damn man, your car is a boss. Been thinking really hard about getting a new Challenger, props for the little tips you gave in this video. Good mods, glad to know how loud it can be with straights, too. Cheers.
there are many planes in this video :D
And damn nice car!!

Love that V8 sound, It sounds angry.
Matt, they're HPP Daytona tail light overlays. I added the Challenger script badge and chrome trim. Thanks!

I can appreciate the SRT fans but the R/T was the right choice for me. With a Diablosport tuner, the R/T pushes out 400 HP, which is plenty for this 38 year old dad.

I was just about to ask if you lived by an airport when you said "Yep, live by the airport." XD
Very nice car, sir. Love the colors.
Thanks all! Maltaboy, the chrome trim did not come with the kit , nor did the Chsllenger badge. I got the trim online as a roll and just cut it to size. The chrome was supposed to be better than what you get in auto parts stores but I honestly can't tell the difference , aside from this having 3M adhesive.

I love the tail lights whered you find that piece???
Do you still have this car and how has it held up since the video? Thanks!
Awesome video. Some great perspective and commentary. Definitely cemented my desire to get the RT Plus. Thinking the blacktop package though ;)
Sweet ride btw. I’m looking to get a challenger as well
Awesome brother!! It does sets you back into your seat, my brother had on with the six speed. I have respect for all cars, but just driving a Hemi challenger.. Nothing like it!! Enjoy your car!!👍
Beautiful car bro, Sadly I have an SE challenger, didn't know much about dodge when I bought and thought they were all the same. I'm looking to upgrade sometime next year.
Ive never seen those type of tail lights.... i like them!
i just bought a dodge challenger rt. i didn't get the chrome rims or the strip. i got the leather interior instead. all white. looks hot also.
Enjoy the car! I have the 2014 rt and I'm in love with the car
Beautiful car
At least your dealership was smart enough to grant your request to not drill the holes on the front bumper for the plates. I have to figure out how to fill my in and paint the stock blue over it. Does look a whole hell of a lot better with the solid bumper.
Really nice review and video, thank you. Hopefully I'll be getting one for me on the following months..
great for taking me with you in this hyper car ;-)
but where is the navi system?
Great great video dude I really enjoyed it. I have a 2012 rt and I absolutely love it , my dad has always been a gm type of guy and he often tried talking me out of buying a dodge .. After ignoring his suggestions I brought the challenger to his house and he's loved it ever since. . I've owned my rt for nearly 7 mos and I still look for excuses to drive it . Great car
Very nice, i have one and i love IT! Like you say it's not the fastes but it's perfect for me, tons of looks, I have the white one with black hood stripes.
I just bought this same car on Saturday. All smiles!!! I want to do the same with the exhaust. How much does this typically cost?
bought this today, the automatic version though, extremely gorgeous and really comfy ( i'm 6'6 )
Nice we are looking at the srt-8, but it's was too expensive. We plan on a rt, like you said plenty enough power
Nice hemi! I just traded my sxt for an rt (auto :( lol) 2 weeks ago I was thinking flowmaster american thunder but that reso delete on yours sounds great I might go that route n save money
Yeah it's definitely a money saver. But we prepared for the drone in the car - it's a lot louder than the stock set up! That Reflectix stuff works pretty well in cutting back on the interior noise and is very cheap.
Mileage varies. I recently drove a 6 hour round trip and I averaged around 28 mpg, which was a nice surprise considering my old 4 cylinder Mazda got little better than that.
God I miss my 2012 SRT I have to get another one before it goes out of production
Really nice video! You should think about taking the mufflers off. Sounds even better
Where did you get the taillight overlay from, I need one for mine. Really like the look
Awesome. Just awesome. Take care of that baby. That's going to be a legacy you might be able to leave behind to your son if he takes care of it too. Beautiful car though. Congratulations.
So good modifications would be cutting off the resonators and replace them with a straight pipe, get a new exhaust system and the muffler? I don't know much about upgrades all I know is I want it to sound good! It would be nice to get feedback from anyone.
Yeah, that's all that was done to this exhaust. Resonators (by the bumper) removed, replaced with straight pipe
Slp loudmouth is where it’s at
really nice video, but man how could take a nap in your house ?

PLEASE TELL ME HOW YOU GOT THAT TAIL LIGHT COVER I NEED IT ASAP👌👌👌
Steve Torres HPP used to make them. Then Mancini made one - not sure if they still do. Here's the link www.manciniracing.com/chdataov.html
@Gul K, I feel your pain, but my only tip is to not worry about buying cars at this in your life. Focus on your education and creating a successful career for yourself. Then you can buy whatever car you want
Dude, fucking amazing car bro!!!! I can't wait to get mine
This is my best muscle car on GTA 5
I know this video was uploaded quite some time ago , but who was selling this overlay for the tail lights ?, I can’t find it anywhere 😭
its beautiful cuz
Nice car man, good luck with it :) I want to do the same with my lunch boxes.
Like the tail lights mod man. Where you get them?
love the exterior... typical chrysler interior though.
I really like the chrome you added to the Daytona overlays. Can you tell me where you purchased the chrome? Was it a kit? I would like to do the same thing thanks!
You should make a how to shift the challenger because my challengers clutch u have to push it hard and fast or it will kill it so I don't know how to fix it to make it shift normal. can I get some help with that? Thanks
she's a beauty congrats!
I like the tail lights of your challenger more than those at other challengers. Did you order it like this or are these lights really available on all Challengers? It really looks way more cheesier and also friendlier.
they are an overlay idk where you can get them
HPP makes them. Steve White a Auto Parts in Hickory, NC sells them online and on site.
Beautiful car bro
Just 2 more years till I can get an rt Challenger...... I hate waiting
Im 6 months from trading in my 2014 sxt. I can not wait!!!
Great video man. Thanks for sharing.
Recently got my 09 srt8 challenger with the 6-speed and I agree. I can’t imagine daily driving my challenger as a automatic. Would not be the same and I would sell it. I’m spoiled now with stick.
Really nice car, man!
Yep...a stick makes a big difference. I have a Camaro with a stick.
Nice but hey I like the Daytona stuff but does it block ur reverse light
Just got my Daytona Taillight Overlays in the mail from Heide Performance Products .There are two holes the size of a half dollar coin, which don't give you much light out the back. But at lease show that you are backing . Also you have to remove the factory Dodge emblem on the factory center tail light lens using a heat gun or hair dryer. The two holes for the back up lights are louvered inside the holes thinking about cutting out them louvers to provide more rear light.but can do after seeing how it works as is.
yeah, they block the shit out of it. i replace mine next to the license plates...look at my videos
great video! can you help me find the reflectix you were talking about lining the trunk with. I had an exhaust installed on my RT charger. I am having some heavy drone.
Lowes or Home Depot, it's easy to find. Cheap, too.
Beautiful car man,I love the overlays. How much of the backup lighting is restricted I noticed when I went to order a heavy black mesh over the openings.
yeah, they block the shit out of it. i replace my lights next to the license plates...look at my videos
nice video man its sounds great. how much are you paying monthly for it because im thinking of getting one
Damn that sounds awesome. Where did you get those lights?
I put the chrome trim inside mine too. Gotta be careful though. The first trim I bought, was nothing more than cheap junk. The second time around I ended up getting actual stainless trim. Can't remember who I bought the nice stuff off of. I think maybe Billet. Either way, some companies put out some seriously cheap crap that just looks like metal, but is thin plastic.
Did you put the chrome on after installed of before??
I think I might've been talking about different chrome. I put chrome inserts around all the air vents in the interior.
Nice car bro :)
How many times you gotta put it in first at a stop sign? In, out, in, out...
Very nice review! I had a 11 SE 3.6 base car new for one year. Traded it for a base 13 RT automatic. Dealer had two plum crazy purple cars on the lot and my wife talked me into trading it for a 14 RT Classic. Its loaded and love it! I think Im done upgrading. Have you done a skip shift eliminator yet? Once again, nice video!
i need that trunk. please let me know where to look
hello where can i buy these lamps? page link please.
Nice manual transmission!!! :D
Out of all the dodge challengers which one would be the best?
nice lookin challenger !
now we going to stop by the gas station it almost took the full tank good people
good I love this car hey dude how is In gas I live in the city how do you think this would do
nice ride man is that stock exhaust ? im getting one in a couple weeks
Amazing car man ,, take care of it
I just purchased a 2014 R/T yesterday in the same color scheme as yours. I will be picking it up at the dealer Tuesday night after work. Did you only remove the resonators or was there an additional modification to achieve that exhaust note? Your R/T Plus sounds amazing!!
Hey, congrats on your purchase! You'll LOVE the car. The only thing I did was have the resonators removed and replaced with straight pipe. And remember, the resonators are the ones back by the bumper - don't let anyone tell you different!
I actually just traded in this car for a SRT8. I plan to do the same exhaust cause, yeah I agree, the sound is great! Enjoy yours!
Awesome! Didn't you trade your V6 for the R/T and now you're upgrading to an SRT8?! Right on man! Congrats!
Kelly Tickner So in half a year he will have the Hellcat!!!
mikebythesun Video on the srt8?
Nate, yeah there are a few up on my channel
Are you running the stock mufflers with the resonator delete ?
i agree. i have a 2013 rt. i don't like the lights in the back. the 2015 ones look much better in the back. any ideas how i can get that light?
Search ebay for Daytona tail light overlap. Steve white Auto Parts in Hickory NC used to sell them.
*overlay, not overlap
thx much appreciated.
