  • Charger Daytona worth the extra money over the RT? You have the Daytona or the Scatpack or 5.7L RT Charger. In this I talk about the Charger Daytona & take one for a test spin. Let me know what you think of the Charger Daytona!

    The Daytona 5.7 is a great value. It's basically the base R/T + Plus Package + Super Track Pak + Blacktop + Hyper Black II Wheels - if you want all of those things, it costs less than an R/T optioned-out - and you get the roof and Daytona decal package.

    No offense to anyone with a Daytona, but I personally dont see the value over a base R/T esp as a daily driver. Dont get me wrong though, if I could get a good deal on a Daytona, I'd hop on it. My problem is, for 4-5k more over a base RT, it's not giving me more power. And for a few grand over a 345 Daytona, I could get a Scatpack....Reports are saying that the 2019 base RT is getting a styling update to align it with Daytona and above Chargers. This makes the Daytona less desirable/exclusive.

    • @mr.300c
      @mr.300c Před 5 lety +5

      That is correct. The 2019 RTs will look like the 392. moparinsiders.com/2019-dodge-charger-r-t-pricing-and-options-list/
      It would come down to cost for me. Or simply just get a 2019 RT. For extra the $5K, might as well get the Scat.

    • @DoubleYellow857
      @DoubleYellow857 Před 5 lety +1

      wayde philpot I feel you man but Dodge has been doing this for years. Trickling down parts. I’m not surprised to see the 2019 RT look the way it does. Look at how they’ve been treating the Challengers. They all look the same and now it’s the Chargers turn. It works as far as profit goes so why not?
      I agree as far as price. I did not and will never paid window sticker for a car. If they didn’t give me a great price I would’ve gone with a none Daytona RT too

    • @waydigga1982
      @waydigga1982 Před 5 lety +2

      Looks like Dodge is dropping the Daytona from the lineup in 2019. Theyll prob just offer tech and performance packages to the base RT.....Hopefully the cost of 2017-18 Daytonas come down a little to give potential buyers more options.

    As I said on a previous post, I purchased a '19 R/T blacktop package, B5 blue w/ rally stripes a few weeks back. Before I bought the 19, I test drove a 15 like yours (but virgin.) Now, when I got in the 19, there was a distinct difference in the exhaust (much louder.) My wife even noticed. The salesman assured me it is the exact same exhaust as any other R/T. I beg to differ. I also think the 19 is snappier than the 15. I need an explanation- I know they are not the same, and I know the 15s exhaust is identical to my 13 Ram 5.7. Thanks.

    • @RTLife
      @RTLife  Před 4 lety +1

      15-16 have very quiet exhausts (2.25" piping). The reason I love the 15-16 RT is they have the RT Road & Track trim with the upgraded rear axle ratio 3.07 & suspension/tires/Heritage R/T badging on seats etc. The 17+ RT have better exhausts because of the wider 2.75" exhaust pipes stock & similar mufflers/resonators as the 392/hellcats. The 17+ RT's may sound louder out of factory but the 2.65 gearing will hold you back performance wise vs a 15-16 RT Road & Track like mine. The 15-19 RT all have "Super Track Pack" option which includes uconnect goodies & mis. stuff. In the end they all make the same HP/Torque - but the 3.07 gears makes a big difference off the line & low end wise. BTW congrats on the new RT - def a badass ride.

    I just yes drove a base ‘17 RT and Daytona. It is just insane how much different the Daytona is. The RT would be a fine everyday cruiser, although I’d want the Alcantara seats as I couldn’t get comfy in the leather ones.
    The Daytona is payback for everyone who has ever wronged you. Holy cow it was just a beast. What a great car. I can’t imagine what a hellcat would be like, and I was shocked at how different it was from the regular RT. God bless you dodge for bringing that into the world.

    The MSRP on a new 345 Daytona seems a little high for what it is. The window sticker on mine said almost 47k. However, I bought my 2017 345 Daytona used, so the price made more sense for me. The technology, look and sound of the car definitely makes it feel like a great purchase. The looks it gets don't hurt either. Some may look down on it because it looks like an SRT, but the regular 2018 R/T's are coming out with the same fascia with the STP. It's a good change IMO.

    It's pretty much a blend of Scat Pack and SRT 392. It has 6-piston brembos and probably more luxury features than a Scat Pack. I can't knock the 5.7 either because all you need to do is heads cam and maybe stroke it and you have 392 power. The only catch with the 392 saw that you have to pay a gas guzzler tax.

  • @globalsanfranciscan5601

    Few things to add from my side (Daytona 345 owner)..Daytona comes with OE high end performance tires "Eagle F1 Super Car" which has an amazing grip on corners..R/T on the other hand comes with a "v-good" OE Goodyear tires; they are Goodyear as well but not as the ones on the Daytona.
    The other thing is the gear ratio. The Daytona is programmed to have quicker gear shifts and more sporty feel; it is really clear especially on slow speeds and parking-lot driving. The car feels like a breathing Dragon that wants to get free. Totally different level of behaviour than what you'd get from an R/T.
    The third thing is the CAI that comes as OE part, the whistling sound "something like what a supercharged car would do" is not available on R/T.
    Finally, Daytona is built for track-stuff and racing, for instance it has all the gadgets for laptime, 0-60, 0-100, G-force, breaking distance...etc. while these only come on an R/T if the "Super Track Pack package" is equipped.
    The only bad thing about the Daytona (in my humble opinion) is the lack of a better cooling system and a stand-alone gearbox cooler. Plus, the breaks could be bigger and bitter "you get the brembo only with the 392 Daytona, not available on 345 as standard equipment".
    My two cents and hope this helps.
