The Dodge Challenger is perhaps the final option for those seeking the big dumb muscle cars of the past. But in a world of 700+ horsepower performance cars, is this 392 ScatPack worthy of consideration? - Auta a dopravní prostředky
DUDE THAT IS BEST REVIEW VIDEO I EVER SEEN ON SCATPACK MAN WOW!!!!
It really is
You're right
Damm right correct!
100% agree!
Calm down
Because of this video I bought a 2019 scat pack with the manual transmission. Thx
Enjoy, Chris!
Nice pick for the transmission!
@@Mattt7940 I like how the A8 ZF leaves my right hand free to be my gf's sports bra.
@@lasagnajohn
I'd rather her worry about what she needs to be doing with Her hands and take the manual instead 😜
jealous, i can't wait to purchase mine. Just in love with this car
I’ve had my R/T ScatPack for almost a year.... I’m still in love with her and when I watched this review, I said out loud “I can’t believe that I actually own one of these”.. great great review.
Me too! I have a 2021 scatpack challenger in black and I’m still freaking out that I have one!
2021 Frostbite blue scatpack here. I was thinking the same.
I just got my 2021 scat pack challenger last Tuesday indigo blue traded in my 2019 challenger rt and it’s like wow you did it crazy feeling
I regret getting rid of mine :( x1000.. slowly working towards adding one again.
Amen!
I have owned a Scat Pack Shaker Challenger for a little over three years now. This is the most honest review I've seen of this car so far. I can confirm everything he said about it.
Thank you! Glad to hear so many owners chiming in 👍🏼
Yeah, pretty much nailed it.
Hows the reliability after 3 years?
@@marcoseesmarcoshares I have 15,000 miles on the car now and the only issue I've had was a water pump replacement at 12,000 miles. It was covered under warranty. Other than that, it's been very reliable. I haven't had to have anything else done but oil changes and tire rotations.
@@jeb909 thanks for input! I really want to buy this model, but have been very hesitant to do so because I keep hearing mixed stories on how well the challenger holds up over time. I guess it all boils down to how you take care of the vehicle at the end of the day
This could be the best car review I have ever seen.
That’s extremely kind of you to say. Thank you, James!
I was thinking the same thing, you deserve more followers
The Dodge Challenger is such a unique experience!
Yep, it's really the only true muscle car out of the big 3 and are gorgeous machines
Obviously you haven't rode in a camaro or mustang or anything else🙄
@@sandman90day17 I've probably bought more cars, than you are old lol. Just as the guy said during the first 60 seconds of the vid, is the only one out of the three that's not trying to be a sports car and just about everyone agrees with that fact except a select few that don't know the difference lol
@@lovethesmellofracefuelinth7374 Even you bought more cars than I am old, it wouldn't be relevant to the subject a hand, so try to stay outta left field there & as far as saying everybody that knows agrees with the almighty you... need to get rid of the God complex... Anyway, like I said the body style is in desperate need of redesign & the CAMARO & MUSTANG beat the fiat hands down. They are both much lighter & create enough raw power to out do the overweight fiat & thus make them superior on the track over the fiat.
@@lovethesmellofracefuelinth7374 yeah... I figured you couldn't come up with anything to say after I stated some facts😁
Awesome review. I purchased a 2019 Scat Pack and this review helped me to make the final decision between the Mustang GT and the Scat Pack. After driving both the 2019 Mustang and Challenger this video helps put the two in perspective. The Challenger is bigger, roomier, and more comfortable while definitely as fast unless going around turns. The interior is awesome and well thought out. The suspension is fairly stiff and it does handle way better than one would expect. With the manual transmission the Challenger is a blast to drive and one can break the rear tires loose on command. With the pedal on the floor it is tough to control all that torque. The Scat Pack with the manual is over the top fun to drive and gives continuous adrenaline rushes. It is faster than the 1970s Challengers with the 426ci or 440ci six-pack. When I finally gave up on worrying about if the Challenger was faster than the Mustang or handled better, I realized the Challenger was the way for me personally to go. With the Mustang I only have 1/2" of headroom and could not fit a big bag or golf clubs in the trunk. With the Challenger I have 3" of headroom and can fit twice as much in the trunk. Not knocking the Mustang which is also an awesome car. Thanks again for the review.
As an owner of a '17 6-speed Scat Pack Shaker I must say that this is the best review I have ever seen. Everything stated in this video is spot-on!
This is one of the best and most professionally done reviews I've ever seen on the Dodge Challenger Scat Pack. Thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
First I'd like to say GREAT VIDEO,I also want to say it was so refreshing to see a younger generation than myself ,understand and appreciate what a manual transmission paired to a muscle car really is..It is a dying breed and it's a shame.Dont get me wrong I think the A8's in these cars are great,BUT, there is still something Lacking ,I am 48 rode dirtbikes growing up ,and a 2 stroke bike is another dying breed..A muscle car with a manual to me is like a bike with a 2 stroke,They both give you a Rush that you just dont have in a auto or a 4stroke bike.....I also can give a rats ass about #'s and whose a few tenths quicker on paper /track.Oh and Btw,I just subscribed ,I really enjoyed this review,Spot on
Correct.
"A younger generation than myself that can understand..." Ha I think it's great to see a younger generation that can even drive one. The six speed now is a theft deterrent. ;
This video needs more views true review.
dodge should pay you for this because you increased their sales by a shitload. amazing review man I really hope one day I'll own one and when I do I'll make sure to come back here
I just bought one what a fun car
This is the best, most real review of any muscle car really. I love a lot of the CZcams channels (donut, straight pipes, r/t life) but bottom line - "numbers win arguments" not races! Best point ever made!!! 99+% of the keyboard warriors will NEVER see or push the limits of whatever they are driving. So why act a fool trashing what others are driving. Acknowledge the full spectrum of the industry, buy what you can afford, appreciate what you own and make it yours. There are really no bad cars in this segment! Just great choices. I want a hellcat but I would LOVE a scatpack! It's all good, just gotta do you! 😉 Man makes the car, cars don't make the man.
I'm a Ford guy I've always loved cord but dodge is starting to consume me. The sound of that 392, I have never heard a Ford sound better.
I like dodge and ford. Am new owner 2016 srt 392. Love it! I also owned 2005 gt stang black shelby rims 4.6 and loved that car too!
I bought a 2023 Scat Pack 392 partially because of this review. I have no idea how your channel does not have 3 million subs yet, because you are that good.
And I was a BMW guy for a long time. Still am - but tired of the “stuff breaking price”. If you are dismissing these Challengers because you think they can’t go around corners and brake…you need to think again. It is fantastic. To paraphrase your review. Yes, it’s not a modern BMW M3 or M5, but we’re counting seconds around the track, and I mean that. It’s a big, comfy, monster, cruiser, and it’s better for it. To paraphrase again. They can brake and handle, and if you compare numbers to “super-cars” of 15 years ago, you might be surprised. In the meantime, I’ll ride around comfortably, with smiles.
GREAT review. Great reviews in general.
Had a focus ST for 5 years, loved it and was a lot of fun but I Just turned 22 and bought a 2019 Challenger Scat Pack with a manual transmission and boyyyyyyy it is just so amazing!
I have a 17 ST and I keep looking at which car to trade it in for, I've been looking at these bad boys the mustang gt camaro 1ss and even the wrx sti lol
vince garcia In my opinion bro, get a scat pack, you’ll love it. I’m trying to trade in my 17’ Charger Daytona for a Challenger 392 scat. Jus driving is a hella of a experience
Muscle and a manual transmission are meant to be together. I am 48 with a Boss 302 and a manual and I need the younger generation to not let go of this experience because I see it slipping away! You are one with the car and there is no substitute!
The Boss I’m only 17 and my first car is a Daytona 392 charger from 2017 but jus the feel and driving that Hemi V8 is crazy. Jus completed 6 months with my car
David Perez how u have money for that ?
Very very good video for the low sub count. I’m glad for the professional appearance of this video. You’ll get the count if you keep creating vids like this
Much appreciated! Thank you.
REALLY THE 6.4 AND THE HELLCAT ARE THE ONLY TWO ENGINES DODGE SHOULD PUT IN THE CHALLENGER AT THIS POINT
Jax Wins the 5.7 and v6 are fine. It is what makes the challenger available. And it isnt like they are bad engines.
Sak 20012019 but MORE POWER
@@Sak-zo1ui The challenger shouldnt be available. it should be a premium trim level muscle car just like it was in the 70s. dodge has plenty of other cars for people who want to drive slow vehicles. leave the challenger for the Alphas
@@brad8665 dodge has chargers, chrylser 300.s, chrysler 200's, dodge dart's, dodge caliber, dodge avenger,
Jax Wins you do realize the challenger throughout its life has had anything from inline 4s to v8s. And in the early 70s they all had a slant six option. And I believe one year they had two options.
The professional camera angles throughout the video made me feel like I was watching a Netflix Show. Good work man!
That’s an amazing compliment, thank you!
Best part of the video @9.20 - "Numbers may win you an argument with your friend but it is not going to make your Sunday drive anymore enjoyable"
“It ain’t my not be perfect for you and me?but it will be perfect for someone” the goosebumps I felt after hearing that
2:44 - yes, very true. I can attest to the car "feeling" smaller the more you drive it. Of course, you can't deny physics so the weight is still there but, after awhile, you just don't notice it as much. At least, I don't. Great review!
This is a really great video. You cover just about everything in just 10 minutes with apt comparisons. The video quality and diversity of angles are both fantastic. Keep doing this and this channel will blow up.
Just found your video, I keep watching it. I've got a 21 Scat Pack shaker 6m on order. This makes me feel like a fat kid waiting for a cup cake, impatient
I own a 2018 Dodge Challenger shaker scat pack but I still love watching review videos 😂 then after I watch these videos I go out and do pulls 😂
I bought mine here in germany 2 weeks ago. 5,7 with ZF8. As a german guy i pretty much drove all kind of european cars so far at my job as a car promoter. Nothing can be compared to a dodge challenger, im absolut in love with this car 😍
Wait till you get the 6.4
R/Ts are sweet
I have a 2018 Scat Pack. Last year I took it to the Targa Newfoundland race. What an experience. This review is exactly how I feel about my car.
One of the most comprehensive and useful reviews I’ve watched. Time well spent!
The exhaust audio on this is better than EVERY video on YT.
One of the best car review videos I have ever watched. Really impressive dude you have a gift 👌
Thank you so much. This has been one of the best review videos I’ve seen. You’re so descriptive and you give all the pros and cons
I have a 16 SRT 392 Challenger and I think your review was spot on 👍🏾
I have a 2018 SRT 392 and I agree!
I have 2016 srt 392 go mango. Now, 13,000 miles. Runs like a top and she moves like a mother!
Great review. I had a few days in a Charger Scat Pack and agree that the big Hemi engine is glorious. I also thought it handled well for its weight (and stopped well too). I also had a quick drive in a Challenger R/T with the manual and agree it’s a pleasure to use. Plus unlike the Camaro and Mustang real people can fit in the back!
Honestly, this is one of the best car review videos I've ever seen. Great job on preparation and editing. You've got a new subscriber 👍
To be honest, and not to come across sounding like some very young suck-up fan boy type ( I'm 64), that was one of the best and most enjoyable, well spoken Challenger reviews I' have seen. Very well done!
Thank you Steve, I really appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed.
This is by far the best rear world challenger review I've seen so far, great video thank you!
great review. talking about the spirit and soul of the scat pack as opposed to just talking numbers is the way to approach this car.
it is a wonderful street/open road/highway cruiser. the best i’ve ever owned.
i’ve driven a 2018 scat pack challenger for two years. and still,every time i hit the start button it’s a big smile🐝
Great honest review! I have owned a 2011 rt since new and loved every minute of driving it with zero issues. 2 months ago I passed my car on down to my son and purchased a 2018 392 ta. The suspension takes time to get used to because of how stiff it is and will bounce you a bit on poor roads like in NY where I'm from. The fit and finish are beautiful and 6 piston brembos are awesome. I don't think I will ever drive another car as long as time will allow me. This car places a smile on my face every day I drive it. If you are in the market for a new car, at least test one before making a decision. This car draws looks every where I go and for a reason, it has stayed true to it's old school look.
Excellent video. It's refreshing to see someone effectively capturing the sound of these beautiful cars. Thanks for the review!
Best and most honest Scat Pack review yet. You get it... I own one, and everything you said about the car was 100 percent true.
This was a really good review. Content, visuals, dialogue, editing, sonically. 👌🏿
You really created an informative video here for sure. I can add one comment: the 2018 R/T Scat Pack car shown here has the optional 275 / 40 / 20 tires with the 9.5 inch rims which represents a large plus for handling.
Thank you! Yes, I don’t think I’d buy one without the larger wheels and tires. The additional grip is extremely welcome in such a large/fast car.
I keep waiting for a shaker widebody.
@@Jeremy_810 Got one, it’s too cool.
@@Jeremy_810 The widebody is about the same cost as the shaker and if you want to keep cost reasonable (whateveer that means ;
So 275 is the widest you can go inside the wheel well
Imported a 2016 Scat Pack into the UK and had it 6 months now. Your video made me change my mind and go with the manual, so pleased I did!
You're the only reviewer that actually had something good to say about the interior. Great review on the Scat
He understands why I love them. Said it perfectly.
How on earth do you have under 2,500 subscribers! That video was VERY well done. From the camera work, to showing clips of just driving audio with no talking. Best review I have seen in a long time. You definitely captured the essence and reason why the challenger is such a great car, let alone the Scat Pack trim.
Wow, thank you, I really appreciate that. Glad you enjoyed. I’ve invested a lot of time into getting the videos to look and sound almost exactly the way I want. Honestly I’ve thrown entire videos away if I don’t find them interesting myself. Thanks again!
Great video. Very informative. I just took the plunge yesterday and bought a brand new 2021 Challenger Scat Pack 392. I went with the full T/A package and really like the look of the F8 paint with the matt black hood and trunk lid. I have owned a 2016 & 2018 Challenger R/Ts both with the 5.7L (one was a Shaker like yours). I always wanted the 6.4L so I finally did it. Watching your video made me feel even better about my purchase so thanks man. Good luck with the channel. New sub.
I just upgraded to a 2020 Scat Pack Shaker 392 Challenger 6 speed just like the one in your review, but mine is on octane red color, watch your video makes me so happy with my choice. Best Car Review ever. Thanks.
Very impressive review and overall presentation with video! I really enjoyed this. Great job and thank you!
I love this review, this was the best review I’ve seen on this car. It makes me love my challenger even more
Very good review! You covered a lot of areas that I had questions about. This car reminds me of my very first car, a 68 Chevelle! Muscle.....
Really enjoyed this review, thank you. I'm planning on buying a used one of these this coming week.
Drove one and worked on one a couple days ago, and another one a couple months ago. The one a couple of months ago was 6 speed, the other auto. Man I don't even like cars this big, but this is one amazing machine. We all rag on Chrysler products but this car has serious hardware on it.i have a new respect for these cars now.
You are well spoken and articulate. Best Muscle car review I have ever seen.
keep up the Great work.I am now a subsciber,
Hey Buzz,
Well you made me do it!! Your charismatic gesture regarding the handling and drivability of the Scat Pack as well as my passion for fun forced me to go buy one. Just ordered mine, looking forward to the ride. Great job on the video, think I have watched every video relating to my build, similar to the one you were driving. Your video is by far the most inspirational...thanks!
Thank you! I’m always amazed when one of my videos plays a part in a decision as big as a car purchase. Glad you enjoyed and I’m sure you’re going to have a blast when it arrives.
Amazing review! This man deserves WAY more subs!
love your honest input on these beautiful muscle of a car
Amazing review. Way to make the order process feel even longer than it already did. You did me no favors with that exhaust note. Easily the best captured audio I have heard on YT.
Great review! I own a 2017 Challenger SXT and this video is reeeeally tilting me towards trading up for the 6.4 Shaker, especially hearing the sound. Thank you for posting!
Dude, please keep doing videos like this one! Today is very easy to grab a camera, take a car for a drive and upload the video to youtube. Because it is so easy, most of these "reviewers" (or even journalists) came into the game without even knowing what it is all about... Just telling us how it FEELS to drive the car!!! Congrats!!
Honest Car reviews like this are what need to have more views.
The camera work for this video is superb. Your review was spot on, I really enjoyed it, and I own a Mustang.
Thank you! I actually own a Mustang as well, an 11 GT.
I lovingly own a 2017 Scat Pack Shaker, and that was the best review I have seen on it thus far.
Thanks, Wesley! Glad you enjoyed.
I know this is a three year old video but done very well. The information is all that you need and nothing you don’t.
Thank you, glad you liked it.
Great job on this review! You get what the Scat Pack is about, I just purchased a Scat Pack Charger and I love it!
Just bought a 2021 Widebody version of the Shaker scatpack, an awesome car and the improved adaptive suspension and wider wheels/tires helps handle the weight a lot. Awesome car that I’m glad I got before it’s gone
Many thanks for this video - from a happy V6 owner (for a silly European driver, jumping from our downsized I4 engines, 3.6 L V6 is still a big engine...). Fully agree with all the points about look, size, ride and comfort of Challengers. While I found after 3/4 of a year the GT AWD being great daily (even for our tiny roads and elevated gas prices) and still giving some fun in addition, the 392 with manual transmission is definitely a car do dream about - a last muscle car by it's nature.
This is my favorite Scat Pack review! Well done!
Thank you!
This the best review I’ve ever seen in my life
Dude. you do not have enough subscribers for the awesome content you are making. Def got my Sub and thumbs up, keep it up! (Also I'm totally getting a scat pack challenger and this review finally answered my main question about handling so thank you for that)
Awesome honest review!! I’ve watched multiple times. I need one!!!
As a scat pack owner myself I agree with everything you say about the car. It's a bit faster than 12.6 in the 1/4 though. But your right...it doesnt matter. It's a badass ride
Out of all the car reviewers I watch, I like this guy. Hopefully he's the only reviewer on this channel and you got me as a subscriber.
Thanks! It’s all me, all the time man haha. Everything is written, shot, edited, and reviewed by me.
Wow one of the best reviews out there. You deserve more subs
Excellent video! I really liked the way you separated the Challenger driver vs. competition. This car does have its own niche and I wouldn’t mind owning one.
This vid is GREAT. I own a 21 scat wide body and these cars are freaking FUN to drive. It’s size is part of the charm and handling it all is part of the fun driving them.
The single best video about the Challenger, period.
No douchebag showing off like all the other ones.
Just a down to earth guy telling us why this car is amazing.
Thank you!
Wow, thank you! That’s very kind. Glad you enjoyed.
Your 100% correct it is a street car and is fun to drive , my 2016 ScatPack shaker hasn’t let me down . Your review IMO is hands down is the best explained in every detail from stem to stern . Cheers
Great review! Just got my 2020 Scat pack ‘TA’ and I couldn’t have reviewed it better!
Great review! I just picked up a brand new 2021 Scat Pack Shaker in Pitch Black with a 6 speed manual transmission! This very similar to the '18 you reviewed here. There is something very unique about these cars and they are a blast to drive!
Great video! Right on point. I just sold my '16 (black) 6.4 SRT Scatpack, which I straight piped, looked badass and sounded mean as hell. Loved it! The black color with the amber halos just looked so intimidating right! Just hated the maintenance on the color.
I just got my '19 6.4 392 Scatpack RT, love it! Straight piped this one too. The red octane pearl coat looks awesome and sounds pretty agressive as well and adds some horsepower that makes it worth doing. You're right though in that these cars are quite comfortable, especially if you'll tall. And the newer ones handle pretty damn good for a muscle car, I agree. The "luxury" description although sounds funny is actually a pretty good depiction. 😁
~Keep up with those videos!👍
This is actually a great review man thanks 🤘🏾
Best car review I’ve seen. Great job!!
Excellent review, thank you!
Great review! (Coming from a ‘19 Mustang GT owner) I always loved the Challengers, was super close to picking up a 392 T/A car, but dealership wouldn’t budge. Having the manual makes any of these cars that much more fun!
I ordered a 17 challenger scat and love it,had a connection who had a connection in Brampton,ordered it may 8 of 17 with daily updates on the build and was at the dealer on may 15th,needless to say I was very impressed and great full
love this review, you think a lot like me, enjoying a cars character over stats, and knowing what makes muscle great, but still having the stats to back it up
This is an excellent review. Most SCAT PACK reviews spend 70% of time talking about knobs and weather the TFT screen too big or too small??? This review jumps right into driving and sound, which is what this car is all about.
BuzzytheBlue gets it. He totally gets it! If only MORE people would too! Because this beast of a car is meant to be enjoyed. It's an experience! It's kind of car that all other car companies have forgotten about, which is tragic. The Challenger is built for people who have a passion for cars that go! For people who don't just want a boring daily droner *cough* SUV *cough*! I'm hoping to get a Scat Pack but may have to settle for the regular 5.7 R/T. Either way, I'll still have a Challenger.
Impressive review / Well done. Fluid delivery and informative. You nailed it....Forget about the statistics and metrics and enjoy the way it makes you feel!
i just found your channel and i have to say you remind me of savagegeese when he was starting out. Keep up the good work and amazing editing.
That’s a serious compliment man, thank you 👍🏼
I really enjoyed this video. Very well done!
Applaud your effort on this video, its awesome, music, aerial shots and appreciate the views coming from driving BMW's...as I'm an E87 130i owner looking to upgrade.
Thank you, this is obviously a very different car coming from a 1-Series but they are far more refined and capable than many people expect.
Great video, 1 of the best for the 6.4l hemi reviews.
Very good video, you deserve more attention. Good luck with the channel!
Thanks Tony!
Love the Midatlantic scenery paired with the V8 soundtrack ❤
Well done! Great video and commentary.👍
Legitimately the best review I’ve seen, completely convinced on buying one after this video alone.
Glad you enjoyed, Jose! I’m betting you’ll love it.
Great review. I’ve seen probably all the reviews on scats and SRT’s researching to get one myself, best one yet. Good shit my guy
Thanks James! Glad to hear that.
I had the Mopar performance sway bars installed and it turned the car into a entirely different beast in the handling dept. If you get a shaker, with some work, gut the scoop vents. They are restrictive. I thought about fabing an internal air director. Super fun car to drive.
