  • I compare the Dodge Charger GT to the SXT trim level and give my opinion if it's worth the money. Would you choose the GT?

    Yes, the GT is worth it. Personally, I wouldn't even look at a V6 Charger. However, Dodge sells more of them than any of the HEMI V8 models. I used to sell at a CDJR dealership in Jersey. The V6 Chargers flew off the lot, and for good reason, I will admit. Great video man. Lots of quality content, yet again.

      People prefer the V8, but because of the high prices of new cars they end up either buying a more priced friendly V6 or a used V8 in the price range of a new V6.

    • @JonSilvaRod10

      I think the gt is worth it but if it's the awd version. People talk about the muscle car heritage and that its gotta be a v8 but I honestly feel that point holds true to the challenger more. The challenger's whole concept is to remind you of the past. Yes some elements of the charger does that as well but at the end of the day it's a 4 door sedan. I think some people are just still fans of big family sedans which there are so few of in a SUV dominated world. In additional some people live where there is winter where the use of AWD helps. Going back point of the video the GT is the better optioned v6 model if you dont want bare bones. If you dont care about AWD then I agree that the R/T would probably be best value.

And honestly who flexes a v6 charger unless it's FBO or supercharged. Now the brz/86/frs are actually slow for what they are tbh. The v6 chargers are just slightly faster than them in the high end. They both have a 6.2 0-60 but the charger has a higher trap speed and time in the quarter mile. Honestly I personally think there is no excuse for a brz being that slow for weighing a whole 1000 pounds less than a family sedan. There are cars faster than brz in the same category for the same price.

    I recently purchased a 2018 Challenger GT and an pretty happy with how it rides and performs as a daily driver. I am aware that it is not a high performance car, nor will I use it to try and be fast, but mods should be installed to what makes people happy. If you enjoy it stock, great. If you want to supercharge it and take it to the race track, awesome! I installed a CAI and want to install an exhaust because it will put a smile on my face. Life is too short to care honestly.

It is so comfortable to drive, which I can imagine the SXT and GT would be. I am looking at getting a Scat or Hellcat, as a secondary, part time, vehicle. I just can't see not having my Magnum in my garage. I'm sure I'd feel the same if the Magnum were a V6 Charger, such as those you've compared. I would like bigger, wider tires/wheels on my magnum but have no idea what I could step up to from stock 215/65/17s.

    Here is Boston the number one Challenger appears to be the GT awd. It is a very unique car and one that people can actually daily drive all year up here in the North. Every winter during the first snowfall we always see people new to the city in their 2wd performance cars with summer tires spinning their wheels sideways on the roads.

      RacerX just some info from the 303 street scene. 300 hp not too good for racing but u bought a 310hp LGBT Subie for a daily that gets nearly the same mpg as a Hellcat. Known for high school punks owning the slowest brand (Subie roo) and racing everyone. I don’t mean to be rude at all but that is exactly the definition of what you bought and no one drives those here because of that reason. When did everyone’s pride go out the window... Drive a manly car

    • @chadhanson4369

      RacerX I’m very curious why you would buy a brand well known for specifically those people buying them? Not to mention slower than a FUN JEEP Grand Cherokee, Ford Explorer ST, Durango SRT, Kia stinger or Toyota Supra just to name a few and you pick the one LGBT an punk high school brand. I had two friends that were LGBT and went to the Subaru sponsored events, I have no problem with those people but why would you want that image

  • @88Petry
    @88Petry Před 3 lety +6

    If your buying for fuel efficiency (hence buying a v6 in most cases), the SXT. AWD makes a huge difference in fuel consumption. Don't care what anyone says. AWD are pigs compared to RWD or FWD with the same engine/transmission setup.

    • @barco581
      @barco581 Před 2 lety

      Yes, AWD is not nearly as efficient or light. Racers know this. Poor sales is probably the reason Dodge discontinued the V8 awd Charger and never offered V8 awd in the Challenger.

    @bill392 Před 4 lety +7

    I drove my 2012 V6 Charger SXT-Plus for 7 years. It was a great reliable daily family car. If it had the AWD, I would have kept it for the winters where I live. I have to admit, despite the peppy and enthusiastic V6, I was beginning to crave the raw power of a V8. Have you watched all those videos of guys driving the V8's and grinning ear to ear? I wanted that experience. Eventually, I caved in to temptation and ordered my '19 RT Scat Pack 392 widebody Challenger. I've had it a year and I just adore it. I'll never go back to a V6. But I will admit, in the winter months, all that extra power gets you nowhere fast. The V6 handles bad weather conditions better in my experience and the AWD would really compliment that to great advantage.

    I went with SXT plus 3 years ago! When you live in a state with lots of snow and it’s your daily driver, AWD and with a set of studs is the way to go!! Unfortunately they decided not to continue AWD and the Hemi( not a fan of the old body styles) but they continued for police editions🤔🤔🤔..At the end of the day drive what you want. People will always have something negative to say. Love and mod your car get what you want and what fits your needs!!

    You can tell the difference by the yellow protectors on the front bumper. My brother just got a 2021 Charger GT, it’s nice. Plus AWD, much better for winters where we live. If you wanna go base V8 I think there are many better cars to choose from- at the very least you need a Scat pack to make the charger in V8 worth while, imo. (Still aesthetically one of my fav front and rear light systems on any car)

      You're not wrong, but it kind of depends which end of the deal you're on. I bought a new '19 RT Scat Pack 392 widebody Challenger and it has the previous year Hellcat hood and fascia on it and I have to say that I like it a lot. Except for the front and side badges, you can't tell them apart. Some HC owners might be miffed. I recently saw pictures of the new 2020 50th Anniversary Commemorative edition and saw that the 5.7L R/T version now has the same fascia as mine, and I thought hey, wtf? Also, the 5.7L and 6.4L both have the same R/T badge on the front so you can't tell them apart. Oh well, it is what it is. I still really dig my car and I'm proud to own it, even if there are a million of them out there.
