      I really like your 2020 R/T. Nice overall appearance with the contrast of the wheels against the black body. Models with color keyed wheels lost that contrast and it takes the overall appearance down to this old hotrodder. I was a Mustang/Cougar fan for decades but gave it up around '95/'96. The retro Challenger reignited the urge and I bought a white 2013 R/T 6 speed base model for my retirement present. It's my toy, driven just for fun, no mundane duty. It has full coverage insurance along with liability on my 2003 Trailblazer for about $64 monthly. Plenty of power to have lots of fun and I don't thrash or trash it. I live in the country and don't drive in the city much so my average mileage is 21-22 mpg. I've studied the cruising economy at 55 mph (33 mpg), 65 mph (28 mpg) and 70 mph (27 mpg). Far out compared to the old days. Runs just fine on 87 octane but you can feel some more ponies on board with 89 or 91/93. Mine has the 3.73 limited slip but in 6th gear it cruises at 1650-1700 rpm's. Also the 5.7's don't shut down any cylinders in the manual tranny models. Not into racing anymore and I don't need to heat my tire's, and doing donuts is just plain silly to me, so my 245's are just fine. I don't have complaint one after 7 years of ownership. I think the SXT and R/T fit the bill for most folks. At $28,500 out the door in 2012 I got a deal I'm very happy with. Wish you the best with yours!

      Thanks for the great video, you definitely earned an extra subscriber. The challenger is my dream car, but I’ve always wondered what the gas mileage is and how well it can do with the gasoline in a week in both city and highway. If you can do a video on that, it will be much appreciated

    Perfect muscle car for the money. I've literally had them all, '14 RT 5.7, two 392 Scats and two Hellcats. From what I have learned is that you can have more fun with the RT's than you can with the Hellcats on the street. The Hellcat's put out so much power that you can't use it all without getting in some serious trouble so you mostly drive them around not using 90% of the power. With the RT's you can drive them around and use all of the power and have fun with the car.

      Put some better/stickier tires on the faster cars and you can have plenty of fun. I put R888Rs on my Viper and the car will actually grab traction even in first gear. Fantastic street tire and gave a lot more confidence when driving the car.

    @marqj301 4 роки тому +6

    I agree that the stock exhaust sounds great. After about half a year of owning my new 18 RT Plus, I decided to go for a muffler delete. I loved it...but it was a little too rowdy for me. I instead went for the Dynomax Race Bullet Minis and man...it almost gives the same sound as the muffler delete, but on a more refined level. If I put the car in sport mode which is almost all the time, it's loud but not obnoxious. Drive it normally in normal mode and it's "quiet". These mufflers are probably the best bang for your buck when it comes to an exhaust modification. 10/10

    Great video! I personally am a V6 challenger owner, and decided to buy the V6 because of how smooth and comfortable the drive was, as well as the gas mileage since I’m in college at the moment and want to save money for a higher model. With that being said, I had a choice between buying a 2016 R/T or a 2018 SXT but could go no higher than $26,000. I decided to test drive a scat pack to see if it was worth buying the V6 to save up money and buy the more powerful engine, and then I test drove the R/T. While the R/T was fun to drive, that’s all it was to me. Nothing to lose your mind about. So I decided to buy the SXT which was fully loaded, and wait on the more powerful engine. The scat pack was everything I wanted it to be and more. The R/T is for someone who craves the hemi sound and feel, and wants to use up the 375 horsepower on the weekend. If you’re looking to be fast, get a scat pack. The R/T’s and SXT’s are fast cars don’t get me wrong, but they aren’t fast enough to beat much...

    • @RatchetWrenches

However, in reference to your last statement "aren't fast enough to beat much", there are people like myself who couldn't care less who's faster. No matter how fast of a car you get, there will always be someone faster. Bought a scatpack? Dude down the street got a hellcat. Bought a hellcat? Oh, dude across town's got a demon. That's why I just cruise in mine and use some of the power when on the interstate. I'll leave all the illegal racing and tire spinning to the meatheads

      Please don't compare a R/T to a SXT. "The R/T’s and SXT’s are fast cars don’t get me wrong, but they aren’t fast enough to beat much..." that's so laughable. The SXT is a V6 and it doesn.t come close to a R/T..... not at all. If you don't own or never owned a R/T then you have no say so. I've onw a Scat Pac for 2 years and traded it in for a R/T Hemi 5.7...... the SXT compared to the R/T is a big joke because you can't compare the two.

    The stock RTs sound much louder than the stock scat packs. 17 up RTs have the active exhaust and dodge also sends them out with either a muffler delete or a smaller muffler from the previous years,. A little more “show” than “go” imo but who cares it looks and sounds incredible. The 15/16 RTs beg for aftermarket exhaust it’s embarrassing

This R/T, 5.7 liter Hemi, stood try it roots. The chrome filler door, chrome wheels, beautiful lines. The only thing that I don't like this model in the video is the hood. They should have kepted the same styled hood as the 2009 through 2014 model years. The hood is the same hood that they borrowed from the 392 SRT. Not much of a redesign if you ask me.
