Did Dodge Screw this up? 6 Cylinder GT's vs. Hellcats...

  • I give you my thoughts on whether or not Dodge made a huge mistake by making their 6 Cylinder GT cars looks essentially identical to their top of the line hellcats. Was this the right move? What are your thoughts?

    When R/T owners ask me why did I buy a V6? My response is why did you buy a R/T and not a 392 or Hellcat? Too much hate on other peoples car. I love and enjoy my V6, that was fully paid off in 2.5 years. Now she's upgraded with better rims/tires and better suspension with Eibach springs/shocks/struts. I have fun with her and still have more than enough money for the important things in life.

      It took me till I was 38 to be able to afford a car that wasn't bought from a family member or Craig's List. I got a 2017 Charger SE AWD. Yeah, it's a V6, and I eventually plan on getting a CAI and a cat-back exhaust, but this car? It's mine. I was finally able to buy a car that I've wanted. It might be used, it might have 80k miles on it, but it's mine. It's a symbol of dragging myself out of poverty and making something of myself. I know my car can't haul like a Scat Pack or Hellcat can, but that's okay, I'm more than happy with what I have.

The v6 version is a TEASE car that basically forces you to want more. GOOD ADVERTISEMENT 💯

      I have a 20 GT and I’m already looking to upgrade. I don’t think I’m going to go Scat (even though I could) because the car is going to be used to commute. I don’t want the fuel and insurance costs that will come with the Scat. I will get the RT with the Daytona package and stick with that.
      But I think it’s a little whiny fo people with scats and hell cats to be mad at the way the GT looks because even if you’re not into Chargers you can hear, feel, and even see these cars are not the same. Just my opinion. The grill is very different on the scat and hell cat for example not to mention the decals. I mean my car says GT on it.

    In my opinion I think people who are bothered by it really care about the clout and status that comes with having a top trim level vehicle. Most automotive enthusiasts will know the difference so if you're bothered that the general public can't tell then maybe you care too much about wanting to out-do the next person. I have a scatpack but get just as excited when I see an SXT or GT. It's all Mopar love 🤜🏼🤛🏼

    I’m 19 and just started college. I work between 35-40 hours/week ontop of all my school, and earlier this year, I went out and bought a 2020 Charger GT smoke show. Everyone who tells me “you shoulda got a V8 bruh” is still whipping a Toyota Prius or thier moms minivan. The people who hate on these cars are people who don’t even own them to begin with. I love the look of my charger, and it’s just enough performance where I feel like I’m driving a fun car, but not fast enough that I’m going to get pulled over whenever I take it on a drive. Being 19 I also didn’t have an extra 10k to spend on getting a V8 or more money burning a hole in my pocket to pay for insurance. I could have chosen any car that I wanted in this price range, but I chose a Mopar. Dodge is a community, and I have yet to receive anything other than respect from another person who ACTUALLY owns a dodge themselves.

    I think is was a great idea. To be honest I wasnt even considering a Dodge Charger because I didnt like the way the RTs (pre facelift) looked in the front and didnt like the basic look of the SXT and didnt think I could afford a 392 Scat Pack so I was actually looking foreign brands untill I saw a V6 GT Charger pass by me mid 2019. I said to myself, wow, that charger looks great and its only the V6 model. So I was about 3 day from going to dealership to get a V6 GT Charger when a guy at work sideswiped my currebt car at work with a forklift and it wa sat a body shop for over a month. They other things came up and I never made it to dealership. Fastforward to Sept 2020 where I was pulling in a lot of extra overtime from everyone getting sick with Covid-19 and I was able to get a great price on a 392 Scat Pack and put a decent down for it as well. But like I said, if it wasnt for the V6 GT Chargers Od prolly have gotten a used E series Mercedes or something else like that for about the same price as a V6 GT. But now Im a very happy owner of a 2020 392 Scat Pack Charger.

    Up North here, 7 years and only 55,000 miles later my 2014 Charger SXT Plus AWD Sport, (that's the full name on the window sticker), rated at the full 300HP thanks to factory true dual exhaust, with the factory-siamesed cross-over pressure equalizer pipe, the same factory air box as the SRT, and special factory-tweaked tune, sport suspension, (perfect combination of ride/handling for me), still looks new, (oh, how my girl loves those red/black leather seats and Beats sound system), and I am super-happy with it. The only thing I did was blow up the 120mph speed limiter, (tried the top end once but it was cold, so Auto-AWD was kicked in, hit 141MPH on the flat, would it have crept up to 150mph without AWD?), and replaced the crap 235/55-19" Kumho tires with 255/50-19" Conti ExtremeContact DWS06's, (exact same height according to Tire-Rack measurements, and actually a little weight savings). When I left work one day mad, my coworkers actually asked if I had a Hemi in that thing the next day. I laughed and said, "See that SXT label on the back? That means it's a Hemi wannabe." LOL But I don't know, there seems to be something special about this car...I wasn't that far behind the hemi guys...and I'm not behind the old 345HP Hemis at all. I wasn't even behind a 200? GTO when he wanted me to race, (not sure of year/engine, it had the little hood scoops), but he couldn't launch worth a poop. LOL Although the thought of adding a supercharger still enters my mind some days??? :-)

    I'm a Scat pack widebody owner and a previous Scat pack owner. I like that it looks like an R/T because that's what it is. It's an R/T body and chassis with a bigger engine in it. Just like back in 70's, it's a "sleeper" car. Hellcats should look different then the rest because it's a more specialized car.

    Love your channel and I’m a big fan. I currently own a 2020 SXT and I can tell you that I believe Dodge in all their wisdom understood that the most important difference in the higher models is about sound and performance. I would guess that by far the largest demographic of Scatpacks, 392s, and Hellcat buyers are those who first owned a V6 or RT model. As much as I like my little v6 because it looks like the “real deal”, I can’t wait until I’m able to trade it in for a Scatpack. It’s like playing HS football as opposed to the NFL. Nothing and I mean nothing sounds like a big HEMI!
    PS: Also, outside of the RT, all the hoods are completely different now.

    It really shouldn't matter what people think. Back in 75 I had a 68 Charger RT and a friend had a 69 Charger with a 318. His car had a racing stripe on the deck lid and mine did not. I was surprised when he told me it was a 318, but that's the way Dodge did it back then. The way I see it, Chargers look great no matter what's under the hood. If you're into these cars like most of us here, we all know what to look for to be able to tell them apart, and who cares what other people think anyway.

    I think there’s a lot to add into it. Greatly noticeable badges are already placed on the cars to differentiate between then. Owning a gt I don’t have shame in telling people it’s a V6 but I also want to build my car up to that horsepower level of the greater cars. The one thing I do need to say is that redeyes need to be able to be noticed easier. The little red detail in the badge just won’t cut it when there’s a 90+ hp difference.

  • @davebarnessr.5805

    Oh just one more comment that I forgot to mention but worth noting. There is a big difference in depreciation between the V6 and the Hemi. I discovered this when I applied for a 10 grand home improvement loan, I had to put up collateral for the loan and my old Charger was still worth nearly half what I gave for it new, my loan officer said few cars were holding their value as well as the hemis were at that time. But remember, like life, everything ebbs and flows in time. Yea I’m just an old guy but I can still own and ride a Harley, anyway great Vlog, p.s. I done repaid the dang home improvement loan and I got the title to an 06 clean R/T
