📹 6 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW/CONSIDER BEFORE BUYING A DODGE CHALLENGER SCAT PACK
DodgeChallenger #ScatPack #ChallengerScatPack Hey everyone! It’s been a minute but I am back with another video! Today we …
I’ve had my RT for almost 8 years and I am thrilled to drive it every…single…time! Love my Challenger! You’re absolutely correct and spot on with regard to the Challenger community. Very supportive and helpful. I ended up modding the hell out of my 5.7L without ever having done anything like that before.
Here you go boys and girls: Challenger in general; 1. Get a lot of attention. Good and Bad! 2. Interior and Exterior are gigantic. 3. Big Community within the Dodge owners. Challenger scatpack; 1. Pedal is very sensitive. 2. Scatpack is not the quickest car out there. 3. Leave room in budget for new tires, 245 are not enough. Grab drag radials or wider tires that can fit on stock wheels. W article!
A police officer once told me that it didn’t make any difference what type of car you drive or what color it is, that as long as you are driving with the flow of traffic you probably aren’t going to be pulled over. He said patrol officers are far more concerned about dangerous lane changes, tailgating or speed far in excess of traffic flow. That will get you pulled.
The brotherhood is real. Big part of why I’ve only driven Mopars for the past 27 years. Was swapping out my front drag radials on my 1320 last week, standing outside the bay and i noticed a widebody Hellcat Redeye getting an air check. Walked up to him and he ended up parking to get out and check out my 1320 and we talked for a bit. My car is half the price of his, but the respect is there regardless and I love that.
As an Oz, I like this car. I call mine “the road train” or “troop transporter” for reasons apparent to any dodge challenger enjoyer ever. Widebody, supercharger, de-muffle, on the 392 HEMI Scat Pack Shaker. That’s the way to go. I bloody love these mechanical monsters. Also worth noting is that I added nerdishness throughout the exterior just to give people’s preconceived notions a big iron boot to the nads. And I enjoy displaying the fact that absolute units can be nerds too.
I just bought a new SP Widebody and have to agree with you on your points. That being said the blindspot and size for me isn’t as bad coming from a truck. If you have been driving a pickup and move over the car will still seem large but it will still seem easier to drive and park. The blindspot mentioned is definitely real but I keep my mirrors adjusted out and it has not been a problem.
I’ve owned nothing but Mustangs for the last 10 years. I test drove a scat pack and it was scary quick. The line about the gas pedal being touchy is no joke. I’m trading in my 2015 Mustang v6 for a 2021 Challenger R/T in Go Mango with white R/T stripes, auto transmission, Shaker package, and rear seat delete.
I bought a Challenger Scat Pack last summer and I can confirm the touchy gas pedal (and brake pedal). The 245 tires indeed suck but I’m buying some 275s when I get my job back. I didn’t buy this car to race and win races. I bought this car because I wanted something fun with a monster V8 and torque and boy does this car put a smile on my face lol. I decided to get the 8 speed auto and it’s a blast to drive with the paddles!
My mom taught me this tip for parking because I would park good but I would be to far in the street because I couldn’t see much over the hood TIP- park next to a car preferably a bright colored car basically anything but black or white and look At the car you parked next to passenger side at the reflection of your car parking It will show you how much room you have left hope this makes sense
I just picked up a 2020 Scat Pack Charger Widebody and freakin love it!! I thought I’ve had some fast cars (Mazdaspeed3, Subaru WRX) in the past but this car is very fast especially on the highway. It just keeps going and going. You’re exactly right on how sensitive the gas pedal is and even worse on Sport or Track mode.
I really could care less what other people think about my car and those that want to race . When you make the decision to own one of these cars you cannot let your ego take over because it can be dangerous. Scat packs and Hellcats are very fast and around town with traffic you have to be cautious. Give a big cushion between you and the car ahead of you . I watch what times of the day I drive and early morning weekends is a favorite time with less traffic. I was in my early teens when the muscle car era of the 60’s and early 70’s happened and I couldn’t afford to buy one . I made up for it when the Camaros and Trans ams came out . The 2008 SRT8 were fabulous cars . Loaded with everything . Only 6000 were made the first year and I had one for many years . Fast forward to today and I have a 2023 Hellcat Jailbreak on order . Cherish these beautiful machines because Dodge triumphed building these cars at many different price points so many people could afford them. Baby them and take care of them because they are time machines.
I agree. I get visitors all the time at gas stations and car washes. I get waved at atlot by other muscle car owners. I don’t own a super fancy version either. I have the 2021 GT (New England) so I can drive it during the winter months. Regardless of package, the car gets alot of attention. As of blind spots, if you have the blind spot indication, really not an issue. Love my Challenger, have zero intentions of trading it in. Next one getting a second one, that one looking at a red eye or super stock.
Challengers look mean and beastly. In my opinion the GT and SS don’t. Challengers have the awesome performance pages, lots of practical room, shaker hoods, widebody availability, that Mopar brotherhood and they’re very comfortable like a couch on wheels. I love my 19 scat pack. Sure its heavy, large and not the fastest but the joy of hearing the 6.4 growl fill the cabin is fantastic! Its 100% real not pumped in fake noise like a certain pony car. Dodge is doing horsepower like nobody else.
I own a 300c 09 with the eagle 5.7 and I test drove a 2020 rt 5.7 6mt and wasnt impressed. It felt larger than my 300c and you can feel its shear mass with clutch modulation and the power honestly felt not as peppy as my 300c. If I got one it would have to be a 6.4l to make up for the weight/fun factor
The only reason why you would have a blind spot is because you are not adjusting your side mirrors correctly. Simply put, if you can see any portion of your car in the side mirror, it’s wrong. The blind spot indicator is just a gimmick created by the manufacturers because 95% of drivers don’t know how to set their side mirrors.
I purchased a new 2020 loaded Scat Pack, manual, love the car and I know it is not going to be the fastest thing out there. I traded my Mustang GT in for it. I had a 5.7 Challenger Shaker before going to the 2018 Mustang GT performance pack. I did like the Mustang but I’ve always felt the Challenger has more soul. I have a C6 corvette convertible also, but it does not have the presence of this car either. My Challenger came with he 275s all, but I’ve thought about going to a 305 in the rear thinking I can get a little more traction, I loved the look of the Shaker, but I do like the old Hellcat hood they are putting on the new Scats.
Cops are humans too, maybe they were also thinking DAM thats a nice ride… also your peddle is toutchy because there’s no hard spring behind it or cable to give you that feel you have to really push it to go. These days the peddles are ran by a computer module. Having the AWD challenger/charger will eliminate most if not all the loose wheel spin. Look at the awd subarus and how they jump off the line, the drive train combined works with eliminating tire spin hahahaha
Destroyer Gray represent! Absolutely right about attention from cops. I’ve had my 2019 SXT AWD for two months, but I’ve already had them tailing me more than I had them on me the last 20 years. It’s just an SXT!!! Size is true as well… I live in the country with a long wooded driveway and we have to keep it trimmed more now. And yes, blindspots are something to get used to, especially for me after driving a Mazda CX-5 for so long.
I’ve been working since i was 14 and i’ve spent a bit of my money but i’ve saved up a lot and i have around 5k right now and i’m 16 my dads letting me get a challenger for my first and he was a huge car person when he was my age he had 5 cars at 15 like that’s crazy but i’m very excited and this article is helping with giving me insight so thank you!!!
I personally prefer anything in between 200 and 300 HP for daily driving. Enough power to loose idiots fast and get me anywhere I need/want to be with ease. Green light races are something I care little about and otherwise I don’t really bother about interacting with other people through my cars 🙂 Not that I don’t like people but I simply because like to talk to others for who I am instead of something that I simply bought (while deep down I could be a total dumbass but hey look at that car of mine let’s have a chat and adore me and the car).
I have been pulled over once in the almost 5 years I’ve had my SP. I was bopping along about 85 in a 65 zone. He gave me a warning, and asked me to smoke ’em when I left. I did. Other than that, I see no real attention, bad or good from the police. My car is TorRed. I do get all kinds of thumbs up, etc from people and I still get questioned about it almost every day.
I actually don’t get that much attention with my challenger and I even have the shaker as well and a pretty loud exhaust. Only once where some dude in a civic broke his neck looking out his window at my car giving me a thumbs up. And even with the police they don’t mess with me even if I pass them. But the car is most def well worth the purchase whether you can afford a higher trim level or the lower trim its a beauty!
Coolest thing is that you’re basically in a national car club when you buy one of these. I had a little old lady stop me at a gas station and tell me about when her husband used to have a 69 Charger with a 426 Hemi back in the day. She said selling it was a big mistake and they’re looking for another one. She loved the exhaust on my Scatpack and got me to rev it a couple of times!
I mean how bad can the blind spots be? I got into a car accident recently (not my fault) and totaled my honda accord 09, since I am on the market for a new car, I would love a challenger. As I can find one for around 20k or so, and the price to fill up and range is about the same with my honda. I usually drive on the highway all the time as far as 100 miles total in a trip. How bad is the blind spot? I still got time around 2-3 months till I can buy one but wanted some insight on this. Thanks
After these are discontinued, does this make the value on regular models go up? I have a custom 2020 Challenger R/T 5.7L V8 with Cragar wheels, Hurst shifter (manual transmission), Mopar hood pins, simple black top vinyl wrap, and Katzkin leather seats. Its not supercharged, but my Challenger uniquely resembles one from the 70’s. I am considering trading it in for a truck and wondering if I should wait. I owe like 25k still on it and its currently worth about 35k.
When you showed the tires from the rear it looked like you have a lot of negative Camber which will wear the tires on the inside and give you less traction even with 315s, you need to have the alignment checked and see just how bad it is. Dodge has negative camber built in which is good for cornering but too much is bad for off the line because the full width of the tire is not making road contact. If you have 2 full degrees of negative camber you are at a serious disadvantage with traction. You can use SPC corrective bushings in the rear upper control arms to correct to a maximum of 1.5 degrees which would leave you with .5 degrees of negative camber and that works great. David
I already have a Dodge Charger paid off wanting to get a coupe next but not sure if I want the maro or challenger. My brother already has a Camaro which is why Idk if I should get one as well. I also have a caprice and a 99 Silverado so I have comfort and a pickup. A two door car is what I’m missing and it’s a hard choice lol
Loved your article man! subscribed to ur website too. I love the challenger, wanted to get the hellcat redeye widebody 2021. What stopped me is one thing muscle cars face, the crazy skyrocketing insurance six months premiums, with excellent driving record and best insurance company, u paying $600 monthly insurance for a challenger! That’s too much, insurance charges that crazy taking the muscle car as speedy as mad and risky… While for example, you pay for an Escalade, say 2020, almost no more than $115 monthly insurance… So I keep liking the challenger, but with insurance no way man!
Hey SchwayZ_ Sweet ride!! I have a question where did you get the back trunk badging where you replaced the Dodge Emblem with Challenger Emblem lettering in Red above your license plate (13:46 time stamp) ? It is Very Cool! If you can let me know who makes this or where to buy one, I would appreciate it! Thanks!
Wisdom, if someone informs you there are 6-10 things to know about a vehicle before one signs the dotted line.DON’T BUY!any vehicle with so much troubles with the Dodges plus way over priced for what ya get. Your just paying up for a over rated engine that might blow up before you hit 20,000 miles and Chrysler is now being very selective on most engine replacements if they lab test the engine and tell ya you didn’t brake in the engine correctly. You know own a 3500 pound rock and making payments for nothing. Why? Experienced the Chrysler warranty program. There is none,zero! Oh the Charger is a rebadged Chrysler 200 with a hemi. Over priced on a vehicle that was a dead seller as a Chrysler 200.
