You need to get her to upgrade that exhaust or cut out the mid mufflers. Let that V-8 sound the way it's supposed to. If she doesn't want to drop $1,500-$2,000 on a new cat back system, you can get straight pipe put in where the mids are for around $200. If you leave the resonators on the back the drone is minimal but man does it sound better when you get on it. Good in depth review. Very thorough and informative.
You did an EXCELLENT review of this car brother! I'm surprised that you aren't a spokesperson for Dodge, as that is what I would've thought if I didn't know better. I am in the process of getting my drivers permit, and then my license between now and the next month and I have been looking for my hearts desire in what I want for my first car. I always did like the Dodge Chargers from when they first came out back in the day, but for some reason, before I started looking up information about this charger, I was actually content with wanting to get a 2017 Ford Fusion Sport! 😨 I can't believe I was going to choose that Ford over this! So but now I'm TRULY back to Dodge and this is the car I am praying for for to God to bless me with after I get my drivers license. Thanks for the review again! You're review has me SUPER EXCITED for when I finally get mine!
We just got the 2017 R/T in white. Before we had the 2011 R/T in black. Dodge has really stepped up to the front in a big way with these cars. My wife and I were hardcore mustang fans before now. 😎😎😎
Dodge really needs to make the Durango's R/Ts interior like the Charger's. Why do you need an r/t stamped on you seats? Charger has a classy and subdued interior
Yeah, I really like the interior. I personally prefer leather, but she didn't want to deal with the hot seats in the summer time. Not like she ever lets me drive it anyways....LOL!
Thank you for such an in-depth review. I just bought one yesterday (Raiders Limited Edition) and fell in love with it only knowing half of the features. After watching your review, it's going to be hard to pry my butt out of it!
Thanks for the review! You mentioned you would pick the Charger over the Challenger. What about vs a Mustang? Granted, the Charger will have the advantage concerning backseat room but wondered what your thoughts were for the rest. The 2018 Mustang is getting a refresh by dropping the V6, enhancing the EcoBoost, and additional upgrades for the GT for power and fuel economy.
I'm a Mustang guy, so I'd take the Mustang over the Charger. But, if you're talking a Hellcat vs a GT Mustang for the same price, I'd have a hard time passing up the Hellcat. Of course you won't get a Hellcat for the same price as a GT.
Hellcat and GT -- nah. That's too much. I would be after the fuel economy and more comfortable ride. So, the V6/EcoBoost Stang would suit me or the V6 SE/SXT Charger or V6 SXT Challenger. When you start going up in trim levels, the size of the wheels and suspension tuning is changed making the ride quality firmer for sportiness. I'm not into racing or burning the back tires off. I want a cruiser to sit back in and enjoy the ride. Even though they are not the V8s, the smaller engines still have enough horsepower and torque to pull the weight of the vehicle up and down hills on the highway without making it downshift while utilizing cruise control. The past several vehicles I have owned all have 1.6 or 1.8 I-4 engines. Highway cruising on cruise control is aggravating if the road is not flat. I'm constantly having to turn cruise control on and off for hill climbs or simply leave it off and manually drive thus affecting my relaxation and mpgs. I did also look at the Camaro, but with the restricted view and useless sized trunk, that's a big nope! I realize for my driving habits some may say get an Avalon, Optima, Impala, LaCrosse, etc. While I'm sure they would do the deed acceptably, a sports/muscle car fits my personality better.
I'm not entirely familiar with all of the difference. I know there are aesthetic differences (hood, rear bumper, etc.) as well as stripes and different seats, though. It looks to have the same engine, so I'm not sure if there are any performance enhancements.
Here's the thing. The Dodge Charger R/T is a performance sedan. So, yes, some people do buy it as a family sedan. But, others buy it because they want a full size car with power that they can also use on the track. All you have to do is look up Charger R/T racing videos on CZcams and you'll see that people use it for that reason. I'll grant you that if you're looking for a "race car" there are better options. But, to say that people don't care about racing Charger R/T's is factually incorrect.
I have a 2014 SXT..only change I've done to mine was replace the single exhaust with an x-pipe dual exhaust. I'm not sure if that did anything at all to the HP but it definitely has a bit more kick to it and makes a nice little rumble. Nothing like the V8's but it's got a bit of a bite. I am considering a CAI but there's so much back and forth on CAI makes it hard for me to decide lol. Anyway..long story short. If you're a safe and respectable driver you won't be going anywhere fast..except accelerating quicker to the speed limit.
No sir, i'm implying nitrogen filling tires is a scam and has no effect worth noting. You're breathing 75% Nitrogen right now. Google Nitrogen tire scam. It's almost as bad as E3 spark plugs and Cold-air intake kits.
Oh, ok well I didn't say anything about there being advantages to using Nitrogen. I simply stated that's what the tires were filled with stock. So, you're telling me to "do some homework" as if I made an incorrect statement.

Good in depth review. Very thorough and informative.
Thanks! I'll be working on trying to get her to let me modify it. It was a struggle to get her to let me put the JLT Oil Separator on...LOL!
This was the best In Depth Review I've seen so far. Because of your video i'm gonna buy the R/T thanks bro and well done.
Thanks, I'm sure you'll love it!

I love the R/T in white! That's what she wanted initially, but it was gone when we went back. So, she had to go with black.
love those led daytime running lights it makes it pop

just bought the same care in bright white gotta say its pretty awesome
Congrats!

Thanks for watching! It's a great car!
Excellent review!! I'm considering a few different cars in my next purchase so this was very helpful. Cheers!
Thanks for watching!
First great review. Only problem is you didn't show how to set the speed limit warning.
Thanks! Yeah, I had to cut out some footage because the video was going to be too long otherwise.
Very good review, I'm looking into getting one and this helped Alot thanks!
Sounds Cleveland from family guy lol. Great review really informative.
Aundray Johnson
LOL, I don't hear the Cleveland sound remotely...
😜
Fantastic review man!
Thanks!

Nice review, I have the same one in Contusion Blue
Thanks! I love that color blue!
Nice review
Thanks!
Beautiful car
Thanks, she loves it!
Absolutely excellent review! You've covered everything extremely well! I want one just like your wife's.
Thanks!
What's the difference between this and the Daytona version?
I'm not entirely familiar with all of the difference. I know there are aesthetic differences (hood, rear bumper, etc.) as well as stripes and different seats, though. It looks to have the same engine, so I'm not sure if there are any performance enhancements.
nice car! and nice couple! hope I get one soon :D
Thanks!
any problems so far ? reliability wise..
Nope, we'll be doing a 6 month review soon. But, it's had no issues at all so far.
it's pretty bad you know more than the car salesmen on details of the car
Nice car! Exactly how I would get it. Black. Hemi. No leather! And no sunroof!
What is the price?
nice review, very detailed
Thanks!
good detail do they have it in 6sp manual
No, they only come in automatic.
do a race against the mustang with the charger
Wouldn't be much of a race. The Mustang has more HP stock, plus mine is also tuned.
A lot of people care actually. That's why Dodge makes the HellCat! :-)
You do realize that R/T stands for "Road and Track"....
Here's the thing. The Dodge Charger R/T is a performance sedan. So, yes, some people do buy it as a family sedan.

Thanks, that was helpful.
one of these attempted to out manuver me on the freeway and looked like a house getting ready to tip over
LOL! Yeah, they aren't designed for quick maneuvers.
you were probably in Mazda Miata
That's too much speed for a female.
says who?
Stupid
Just too big for me man.............lol
nitrogen? do some homework
You're implying that there is no Nitrogen in the tires?
No sir, i'm implying nitrogen filling tires is a scam and has no effect worth noting. You're breathing 75% Nitrogen right now. Google Nitrogen tire scam. It's almost as bad as E3 spark plugs and Cold-air intake kits.
Oh, ok well I didn't say anything about there being advantages to using Nitrogen. I simply stated that's what the tires were filled with stock. So, you're telling me to "do some homework" as if I made an incorrect statement.
It's up to all of us to call out BS. That's it.
Agreed. I've never really heard of Nitrogen in tires being a scam. But, I'll look in to it some more. Might make for an interesting video. Thanks!
