Hey everyone! It's been a minute but I am back with another video! Today we discuss the 6 Things You Should Know Before You Buy a Dodge Challenger or a Dodge Challenger Scat Pack. The first 3 related to the Dodge Challenger model specifically regardless of whether you have an SXT, GT, RT, Scat Pack, SRT, T/A, Hellcat, Demon, etc... Whereas the second half (which starts at 8:45) discusses 3 things that are specific to the Dodge Challenger Scat Pack. Some of them are somewhat obvious while others may surprise you. I hope you enjoy today's video and don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more content! Find me on Instagram @SchwayZ_

As a introvert I can tell you this car will DEFINITELY force you have conversation with others lol
Hahah :')
I giggled at this.. it’s true 💯
Lmao well let me get ready
Woow lol, true shit. People stop me all the time to talk.
Dang, nooooooo!!!
The size of the doors dont matter cause once you buy a challenger you always park in the boonies by yourself.
Haha so true 😂 there's always someone that will come and park right next to you though 🤦♂️
Stay away from shopping carts lmao!
Exactly! I was saying the same thing. Ha.
Always....
I do that with my Mustang and some douchcanoe always seems to want to keep me company and park beside me or behind me. It's like harassment.
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 video!
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.
But driving in a challenger going over the limit will get you pulled over faster than if you were driving a basic car
@@The623vato That's not what he said. If you are going too fast, it doesn't make any difference what you are driving. Plus, the vast majority of the Challengers on the road are V-6s and are very basic cars (but very good looking!).
Exactly long as you keep up with flow of traffic. If the Speed limit is 60 but traffic is going 70 then you can go 70. Going 80 or 60 in the passing lane is what will get you pulled over because you stick out and are messing with the flow of traffic. Cops are looking for the odd man out of place. They legally can pull you for going 70 even with the flow of traffic but 9/10 they won't.
If I was a cop I saw a widebody driving a little fast.. I'd understand.
@@elyoj6845 They do this with motorcycles all of the time.
I’m young and I just want one cause it looks badass and I love the car!
Straight up man me too
Same yolo
yeah me too because car look nice and v6 or v8 hear nice :O
See you guys driving in our challengers in a few years?
Same here lmao
Getting a Challenger is one of the best things I’ve done. Love this car! Great video with great information!
Same here brother! Thank you for watching and for the support!🙏
Wtf is mopar?
@@jorgeacosta1238 Mopar is the parts, service and customer care organization within Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. The name is a blend of the words "MOtor" and "PARts". Mopar also designs and builds a small number of customized vehicles. it's name is used interchangeably with dodge, jeep, and Chrysler vehicles
how much was yours ?
Hi people, just asking, but what is the best dodge Challenger?
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.
That's so awesome! Just proof that regardless of what Mopar you drive, there's respect all around. Appreciate you watching and commenting brother 🙏👊💪💯
I have a scat pack shaker widebody with a supercharger added, and as long as someone drives standard, I respect whatever they’re rockin. Even if it’s a Honda Civic SI with that dinky little 1.6 liter turbo. Because I’m the words of the great Mic Mundy, “professionals have standards.”
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.
So awesome man! Glad you're still loving your ride. Mopar or no car!
@ Jacob B
I picked up my 2013 R/T 8 years ago also, 5.7/6 speed/3.73 LSD. Love it and still 100% happy with it. I was a Mustang/Cougar fan, did lots of modifying, engine building, etc and finally gave it up in '95. The retro Challenger made my heart beat fast and I bought mine as a retirement present to myself. The stock R/T is fast enough, fun to drive, etc. Glad to have the unquenchable lust for speed, off my back.
@@1redrubberball modding is a very slippery slope. I’m done modding my RT. Happy with it. I have moved on to fixing up a ‘76 911 and ‘69 Triumph TR6. I realize that I love the wrenching as much as chasing power. Except fixing up cars on someone else’s dime is more sustainable 😉
Bro how much millage of this car
I personally slapped a supercharger on my 392 shaker and added a widebody kit, as well as a tune and E3 spark plugs. And so much more. I love my rocket ship on wheels.
Police are looking at your car because its nice. Just like everybody else. Trust me on that one....
Oh shit it's a cop! ^ lol 😂 thank you for your service.
@@coachcrayne2726 I've been waiting for 8 months for someone to thank me for my service...
@@BackInService yeah I literally just stumbled across this comment. I thought it was interesting that he immediately blamed it on cops and said that he was being profiled.
@@coachcrayne2726 yeah lmaoo...like bro...I'm out here trying to save for one too
@@BackInService hahaha right I'm literally over here debating whether or not I should sell my RT and upgrade or if I just want to save some money and stay put lol
No car is perfect, I still love this car lol
Especially a Dodge hehehe sad but true.
I want to buy this car from the US and bring it to South Africa cause we don’t have them here. Definitely my dream car
Exactly what I'll be doing in 3 to 4 years I want me a redeye so bad 😭
@@esthetics4512 Same bro😂 3 - 4 years too im tryna get the Widebody Scat Pack in Purple or Blue im only 18 rn feels like forever
These cars are made in Canada n i proudly say i work in plant manufacturing this badass
Good luck!😊 (not being sarcastic btw)
I bought the exact same car because of your videos . And absolutely love it . It is my little baby .
So awesome! 💯 I'm glad I was able to help and I'm glad you love the car! Thank you for watching!
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 just wanted to thank you so much for this video! I’ve loved challengers but never knew if it was worth saving for. After watching this, I know that it’s definitely the car for me! Thanks a lot!
Glad you liked it man! Thank you for watching! If you're interested in more Challenger stuff I recommend another video I made about the challenger
czcams.com/video/Bp8dFpeR3Xs/video.html
After 4 years of owning a scatpack I still spin the tires by accidents occasionally.
I had a 2020 accord sport 2.0 and almost every time I hit the gas the tires would spin
@@Yoursistersazz would you floor it lol
@@jvvaldivia7831 🤣🤣🤣
I love my scat pack 2019 as far as blind spot yes there is why I push pedal down look in rear view . I have a blast with mine
After watching this video, I want to get one now. Thanks for making the vid
Parking has been a struggle and I'm so gentle with the door because of how big it is that I end up not shutting it properly
"you could almost hide a semi truck in the space between the rear window and the small side window" LOL!
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!
I already have a charger 5.7 & now I'm in the market for a challenger 6.4 too , thanks for the tip , GO Mopar. . . .👍🏾
How is the car and does it need anything or have a problems?
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.
Awesome! Congrats on the new ride! 💪
I was on a budget, and so got a 2015 r/t shaker. Slapped on a supercharger, tune, and widebody kit, and now I have a mechanical behemoth fit for terrorizing the masses. I love this car.
If you had driven my much modded '79 Trans Am, you would, like I am, disappointed with the throttle sensitivity in Sport. That thing had a hit like a sledgehammer. My SP makes more power, about 75HP more, but the throttle hit the T/A had was just fantastic. And the exhaust sound was perfect. In every other way, my SP is better.
great straight up info .... got me debating the 5.7 vs the scat pack!
I love how brutally honest he is
I love my 2019 dodge challenger best car I've ever purchased
I lost to a Titan in my SRT8 back in 2012 ish. I have had challengers before and I'm looking to get one again but I am thinking R/T. Great info for anyone that has not had one before.
I have a 2013 challenger... I’be been really wanting to to trade her in for a new one!! So I’m taking notes! Thank you!!
I have an is350 and i want to trade with a challenger 2014 rt does the car have a problems in engine or anything
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.
Keep the seats
Haha got you
That is what I am buying for my birthday next year. 😍 I wanted something a bit more unique than a Mustang and I love that this looks and sounds like an old school muscle car. Love the Super Bee ball cap by the way.
You're going to love it! Definitely the most true to heart muscle car of the 3. Thank you brother!🙏
@@SchwayZ I am sure when Utah Highway Patrol sees a Challenger, they see their kids' BYU scholarship fund on wheels. 😉
@@AarmOZ84 😂😂😂
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.
Also good video I’m planning on getting my scat pack wide-body this December I’m so freaking excited 😆
Thank you! Congratulations! You're going to love it! It's one helluva ride
🙂👍
One thing I learned after getting chally is that people will sometimes feel the need to challenge you at stoplights. They all wanna race you for whatever reason. But of course I never indulge because if two cars are street racing, the cop will 100% always stop the challenger first lol
I like the size of he challenger. Drove a Camero and it was just too tiny. The challenger is nice for bigger people like me, who feel cramped in other sports cars
I’m personally a charger guy but damn I can’t help myself but watch anything mopar related 😂 great vid bro!
Appreciate it man!
Whenever I want to watch a video about challenger, Schwayz is my man!!
Appreciate it man!!🙏🙏🙏
I just purchased a 2021 challenger sxt black blacktop last sunday with 50 miles on the dash and got it tinted 4%. Straight black. Never purchased a new car before. I always wanted one and i have one. Im in love with it and totally happy with it being an sxt. Its my daily.
Where did you buy it?
Bout to get mine next month! Been plotting on this car since getting out of high school 4 years ago lol been working hard/ doing my military duties to get this car💪🏼
Congrats man! 🔥🔥🔥
bro same I been looking at them since I was 16 and I’m 19 now the price’s definitely went up but I’m making 3,600$ a month so why not 🙌🙌
Thanks for your service brother, can’t wait for you to grab yours, I love mines
I would buy one in a heartbeat even the SXT has enough power for me, i am shooting for the hellcat doe, i will probably own one in the next 10 years.
Thank you so much for all your invaluable information regarding this amazing car, highly appreciated it, have a great day, be safe out there.
I'm glad you found this helpful! Thank you for watching and I hope you stay healthy and safe out there as well!
@@SchwayZ Thank you, likewise.
I have a 2016 challenger. I love this car! I get compliments on it all the time! My first car was a hot rod and I've had 3 other sports cars. I'm 43yrs old and love this car!
Same age group , female and I have been wanting one for a couple years 😂
This is my dream car!!! I’m getting it soon! Great vid
Awesome congrats!!
Want this car Bc YoLo. Tired of my Honda Civic 😂
Haha yeah this car is definitely a YOLO kinda car 😂
You tired or reliable cars? Take this big L!
Got my Scat Pack in February. Can't believe i own my dream car at 18. Love this car. Every other trim just seems absurd in my city, I'd never be able to use all that power.
Congratulations! It's one awesome ride! 💪
How long u been driving bro?
Suwacide hey man congrats to you. I. 1971 I promised myself if I get back from Vietnam in one piece im going to get me a challenger . Well got home Dec 1972 never did get that challenger until this year scat pack think about it today’s challenger has more HP than the 426 or 440 . We love I great times. Enjoy your car man you deserve it . I’m enjoying the heck out of mine lol
Your 18 how hard was it for u to get a auto loan I’m 21 and looking at a used rt
@@clintreno1019 😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you for this video! Excellent information
#1 is exactly why you get a dash cam. You can argue speed of traffic and more than likely get it dropped
Actually the best car review I have seen. Like talking about how far the door goes out before it hits the first notch like wtf. Thank you : )
Glad you found it helpful!
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 (2022) getting a second one, that one looking at a red eye or super stock.
What do you do for a living to be able to afford it twice? 😭 asking as a broke college grad
How is it in the snow?
thats an well detailed review...cheers..
I finally got my 1320 last Saturday, now getting ceramic coated and windows tinted.
So cool! If you're on insta, send me some photos of it. Congrats on the ride, you're going to love it!
@@SchwayZ just CZcams for now, waiting on my replacement canon EOS 90D. This is budly beerburgler80.
Ohhh now I know who you are. Congrats man! Can't wait to see pics of it when you set up your insta
What ceramic coating did you go with? I'm looking at Sensha with Bob Moses.
This is great... awesome insight dude.
Thanks man!🙏
Thank you.....I own 2 RT Scat Packs and I love them both!!
Bro this is the most opinions I need before buying the RT Challenger.. this is very helpful
Thanks for the insight man 💪
Easiest thing to do is throw 275 Pilot AS4 on the back. They're no 305 or 315 but they'll fit on the stock wheels. I did this and it made a huge improvement in traction to the back wheels.
as a big guy my self this is a good car for me knowing how big this beast is.
They don't call them boats for nothing 🤣🤣 great video i can't tell where my nose is either I park 5 ft away lol. Keep grinding 🤝🤝💯💯
Haha right?! Thank you for the support brother 🙏💪
Agreed , the front end can be difficult when turning into a gas pump have be careful not to clip the guard rails
It's not a boat, it's a battleship. ;)
Thanks for the info khabib!
The first day driving the car almost got into an accident because of the blind spot. I have a child watch mirror, so I used it closed to the A pillar on the passenger side and it solved that problem. I used that trick from 1990s when highway racing at high speed in the Bronx.
You need to CZcams a video about how to correctly set your mirrors. In any car, you can set the side mirrors that eliminates the blind spot. Most people set them to look down the side of the car behind them when they should be pointed towards that area that is hidden by the pillar.
Great video!!
I just ordered an R/T 5.7 hemi yesterday..being factory built..should take delivery in 12 weeks...im turning a milestone birthday and decided to treat myself....im excited as hell...
Congratulations!
I’m looking at the big 3 for a new v8 and this is definitely swaying me haha
Getting a 2021 scat widebody shaker. Upgrading from my 15 rt shaker. Beautiful and fun cars
I've never driven any challenger, but I imagine it's much easier to not roast the tires on accident if you drive manual. I even peel out when I drive my wifes accord because I'm used to having the clutch to help control my throttle input.
one day i’ll get one
For sure!💪💪💪
Just bought 50th anniversary Widebody Challenger this week. It in transit & take delivery by end of month. I can’t wait😍
So awesome! Those things look BA! 🔥
SchwayZ_ getting the Sinamon Stick color with the matching interior stitching in Copper😍❤️
Wow that's the best option 🤤🤤🤤
I love muscle cars because of the looks because of the sound speed all of it but the challenge is my favorite and once I get my license imma cop this
In a couple 2 years ima be able to drive my SRT8. Pretty hyped for it
Great video, thank you 🙏
That is very true…as soon as I bought my challenger & dorve it to the gas station within a minute….somebody came up to me to ask questions about my new car.😁
I drive a 2011 Challenger R/T, but no worries, I'm adding mods to her just one step at a time! Love Challengers!
Awesome! 💪💪💪
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.
Right?! Thank you for watching fellow destroyer gray! 🙏💪
rockhopper01 this is true story I had a state trooper follow me in my challenger on interstate finally pulled up beside me wondered why he wasn’t passing me I finally looked over he gave me a thumbs up.
Hey, I’m buying SXT this week.
Do, people really look down at v6 in real life as they show on social media
I drive a lot that’s why I’m not going for v8
I love muscle cars and the dodge challenger is a car i fall for and a week ago i saw one at a store i totally fall even more in love with this car it's a dream car i want to own and drive 😍
Very informative, thanks.
Thanks for watching!
I also noticed that prices for the Scats especially Chargers have gone up recently. Before COVID I found plenty of 2017 chargers for mid to low 30s. The same spec and mileage 2017 chargers nowadays are going for high 30s, crazy. I was going to get one!
I agree! I've noticed that used car prices in general have seemed to go up after covid. I was looking at some cars prior to covid and now those same models are more expensive
I'll agree with this. Just bought a 2020 SP Widebody and was looking at used. The used prices were more than I paid for this car.
@@SchwayZ yea I notice that too. But I thought it supposed to be the opposite....
@@b58forever I know right?! Its a crazy market man
I'm a 15 year old girl and this is my dream car and everyone says it's a guy car and I dont see why it's a car anyone can drive one. I hope I get to own it one day
Awesome goal! Don't let others bring you down. I've seen some amazing women drive these cars. It doesnt matter at all. Keep that goal in your mind 💪
Hope you got it.
I know a few car girls that drive hatchbacks, egos and sti's... you'll look badass, trust me
Go for it I think girls can havecthe same cars as boys, personally I would be proud of my girls if they wanted one.
It’s a car for everyone
My dream car is a 2021 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack Widebody 😍
My RT charger does that petal thing too. I think it’s just the way dodge tuned the v8s. So much torque down low
Dope breakdown 👌🏾
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.
Mopar family so true! I love it ! Did you also notice we all park close together in lots?
great stuff!!!
Thank you!
I'm surely going to own a Dodge challenger soon!
I am 15 years old now its 1 am and i am looking this video with the smile i had on christmas ten years ago
I cant wait to turn 18 and afford one of these
Honda and Nissan drivers have a good little community too especially Honda....I’ve been in situations when other cars would try to speed over me n a Honda driver would not let them.
I NEED to get one of these
Good video and content, ty
Thank you for watching!
The dodge community is definitely one of the best they don’t make fun of each other as much as mustang or Camaro
I reserved a Challenger for our ride on our Hawaii trip. 🤞 i can convince the wife to let me buy this Legend
I want this car because of the looks I love the looks of this thing
I just set the cruise on... when the cop looks at you just smile and wave...
A tip about the pedal sensitivity; you can tighten or loosen the the throttle cable in the hood to change the responsiveness Of the pedal.
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
Oh awesome advice thank you! I'll definitely try that!
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 find that combat Parking my challenger is the best alternative in avoiding scraping the bottom of your bumper.
Yep good point! I do that whenever possible as well because I've got the back up camera and rear sensors
It was either a scat pack or a 5.0 the size and weight is what it came down to. I had loved challengers for years but when I started driving them I did not like that bulk
Aw man I’m too excited just ordered and bought a challenger hellcat Widebody dealer said it’ll be here in 4 months I can’t fkin wait
Just bought a 2021 challenger 392 scat pack. Had several other dodges want to go at it on our two hour drive home.
just got mine yesterday it’s gonna be a while till I get used to the size
I'm also planing add 315's to my 2018 Scat Pack Shaker, but didn't know if or how they will fit on stock rims. Thanks for the info.
No problem! I know its not recommended but I haven't had problems
I'm thinking about getting the widebody it looks soooooooo good!!!
You should check out my widebody video. Has lots of good info on them
czcams.com/video/viArHlDlf-E/video.html
I traded my Scat Pack Shaker for a Rebel a year or so ago. I miss it every day but fishing out of the Challenger was a huge PITA. I miss the instant power, sliding around corners daily on the way to work. Most of all, I miss the cold starts. With a mid muffler delete, it was simply amazing.
Maybe you could do a muffler delete on the rebel?
The Rebel still is a sick truck - you made a good trade I would say
Get a borla atak exhaust! It sounds sooooo good on a hemi rebel
