The Dodge Charger Daytona 392 - A perfectly simple, silly machine

- How can you not love this simple, silly machine? It's a pretty basic recipe, but one that I truly enjoy. Take a large V8 engine and have it send power to the rear. Add in room for friends, tremendous noise, comfortable seats, and you have a modern muscle car. That is the Dodge Charger Daytona 392.
Paying homage to the Daytona name, you'll find a rear decal that harkens back to the old big wing cars. It's smartly done and the design evokes thoughts of that tall spoiler in silhouette fashion.
Under the hood sits a 392 cubic-inch V8 engine. Here it cranks out 485 horsepower and supplies that out to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
If you can't swing the extra dough required to bring home a Hellcat, then this 6.4-liter equipped beastie is a brilliant alternative. You won't save any money on tires though... because you'll be burning through them just like you would in the more powerful Hellcat.
The Dodge Charger Daytona 392 is James Hetfield, the Car.

I think F8 Green is pronounced "Fate" green, you know, F-Eight.
That... makes a lot of sense.
So how does one pronounce B5 blue?
Beef Eyes Blue
its not, its the paint code. Some people may just try to be cute by pronouncing it "fate"
I also like the Charger a little more than the Challenger.
Right? 4 door family sedan...all that room in the back seat and trunk...and still bad ass. Yup
Charger only for it's practicality but Challenger most definitely for it's looks.
I own a 18' SRT 392, came from a 15' Chevy SS sedan. The Charger is a way funner car than the SS! Love the growl of the 6.4L motor!!!😁😁😁😄
How’s your ownership been? Looking into buying a CPO 2018 SRT 392 rn. Any mechanical issues? If you have the Harman kardon sound system, what are your thoughts on the sound of that?
Good review! DAYTONA 392 LIFE BABY!
This video was almost as awesome as your farewell to the Viper ACR. Bravo for giving this Chevy guy some love for the competition!
...that viper video was fun.
I’m picking up a used 16 Scat Pack in Go Mango, fully loaded tonight. 33k! What an amazing car for the money.
Justin Baker enjoy bro and check out my channel a lot more content coming
Living the 392 life since 2016. Great video.
Drove a rental RT recently and was surprised by how sorted the car felt. Despite all the online negativity about its weight (Yes sometimes you do sense it) but driving it up and around mountain roads was really fun. Transmission is very good for a standard road going car, Drivetrain was obviously the big pull factor. Interior is as bad as it seems but hey you cant get everything but then again there is so much space in this car. Long Story short, 5 days with the car and I was in love. Now I am missing it and watching charger videos hoping to own one someday
I have the same car same color but its the 5.7 and man its not the fastest but mannnnnn it puts a smile on my face 😁😁😁😁😁 love it everything you said its true Daytona you gotta have one to know one😁😁😁
I'm a little late to the party, but have to comment nonetheless. I have this exact car, except I have the Beats speakers. I previously owned a 15 Challenger with the Harmon Kardon. I would say they are comparable systems, with the Beats providing just a bit more bass from the door speakers. But that's actually where the problems start. The doors are not sound deadened enough to handle to extra bass, so you get all sorts of rattles. Especially with the window up/down and door lock switches. Everything else you say about the Charger and Challenger are 100% correct. Good vid man.
"Hemi Farts' is the name of the noise it makes when you up shift.
Love your reviews. My HS basketball coach had that Daytona 500 and that was my most desired car when in HS. I now drive a Charger HC that I love. If I didn't have the money to buy the HC, I would get the Daytona 392 or SRT 392, those are really better values and a bit less insano machines but still awesome.
Nope, sick horsepower never gets old.
392 is where it's at, whether its Challenger or Charger. I prefer Challenger because it is a coupe, and looks like the original piece.
I agree with you bro. About 392.
Striving for happiness smiled when I heard the exhaust when u pressed on the gas .. I need this
Good video dude! I brought a black on black 2018 Daytona 392 a few months ago and immediately realized how stupid these cars are. But everytime I get in and hit start I become a kid again. She is a beast and demands respect from the driver and any car on the road. Don’t buy this car if you are worried about gas prices. Buy it because you want a piece of bad ass American muscle car pie. Then eat that damn thing everytime you get in. Watch everyone else break their necks seeing it drive by or just sitting in the parking lot!
Lol perfectly said brother! Welcome to the Daytona 392 family!
You couldn't have said it any better my friend. I bought my 2018 Daytona 392 November 2017 and I have zero regrets sprinkled with a shit ton of fun.
This guy gets it, subed.(no matter what brand he talkes about) I too wonder what a fat set of Pilot sports, some beefier sway bars and strut towers braces will do on a closed course....gonna test that theory myself soon. Great channel
And this is the FOURTH most powerful V8 Charger/Challenger engine! Such a sill company!
3rd most powerful V8 dodge offers, only hellcat and demon engine more powerful than a 392
Hellcat Redeye. I guess it is a Demon engine, but makes fewer horses because less air intake.
Ernest White 4th. demon, hellcat Redeye, hellcat, 392, 5.7.
6.4l. Got to love it
I bought plum crazy purple 2019 Daytona love it
Lmao well done!!! I feel like what you said in the "weird" ending everyday in my SRT 392 Charger!!! : )
Re: colors, one of my favorite names for colors Dodge is doing is called Contusion Blue. Not because it's talking about bruises and that's SUPER MANLY or anything, but because you can get a Caravan in Contusion Blue, and I find that fucking hilarious.
Fun video man!
You're averaging 14 MPG? Oh no Mr. Bill! That's much better than I get in my daily driver Barracuda, but of course, I'm running 4.10 gears. Remember, it's not *miles per gallon* that's important, *smiles per gallon* is what matters... I'm going to be picking up my 392 Scat Pack Charger in a week, and the Barracuda gets to enjoy time off for a new suspension, engine, electrical, interior, a new fiberglass front clip AND... body and paint. It's certainly a rat rod now, but will end up with a matching paint scheme. White, satin black hood, and tomato red stripes.
It's the same as Scat Pack with the Dynamics pack (wider wheels/6 piston brakes) with some minor cosmetic differences....Stickers, dash trim, seat stitching pattern....
Beware of those brakes (6 piston). Front Rotors/pads go for at least $2k just for the parts. The standard 4 piston Brembos are plenty good and allow me to get 18" winter wheels on there too.
If you think the 275s are lacking traction, try the Scat pack with the stock all season 245s.
Also, fuel mileage is pretty descent actually. In mixed driving without a bunch of hooning, I get 18.5 mpg on a tank. On the highway I've gotten as much as 24 mpg for the tank.
I drive a 5.7 Daytona how come I only get 19 mpg on highway... btw I live in LA
I have a Daytona too and had the rotors and brake changed, the bill gave me a heart attack haha... i'm from LA and get 14 city 18 highway (traffic...)
Do the 5.7s have cylinder deactivation?
Yea, the brakes on the Daytonas ruled that car out for me. I need snow tires and can go down to 18s with the regular Scat Pack Brembos. With the 6 piston, you need 20s.
Not true at all, maybe the rotors are pricey, not sure, but I had the brake pads done for $150 (normal price compared to other cars). I will say, however, the dust from the brakes are really bad.
Celatid they do! Activates as soon as you re coasting :)
I own this exact car. Red calipers. All Daytona badging off. It's pretty sweet
Why debadge this...for what..
Why
24hourstrending williams I wanted the color, options and the black roof. And I got a great deal on the Daytona. I just didn’t want the HEMI on the good and the Daytona decals on the rear.
Coming form a Challenger SRT8 and former Scat pack owner... Jeff, you for got the boat dock bumpers. Lol!
Love the car, and agreed the hood decal is lame. If I end up with one the hair dryer will be used on day 1 to remove that.
One of the reason why I like the Daytona
that intro music tho
Great stuff on the Video! I sold my C7 Z51 because for ME I couldn’t drive it at night because of my poor night vision so I sold it and got a S4 Audi and with mods 450 hp. It was fun for a while but I missed that V8 mussel and pulled the trigger on a 2021 Charger Scat Pac narrow body with The dynamics package along with driver convenience and the plus package. I should of done this long ago! Yes🏁
sir u just earned yourself a new subscriber lol.....loved this video
I've got my Daytona 392 fix going on.
392 Daytona has a nicer Black Out leather Steering Wheel ,Roof & Wheels.Luv it.bro.
always loving the stuff you guys put out In here. ?
The Daytona interior looks a lot better than the scat and srt especially the seats
Well put. You crack me up, man. I enjoyed watching that
I just got a new 2018 scat at 5k off sticker. Thats where the deal is. Why pay more for the19s? Just for the stupid nostril in the grill? lol
I would take this car over any BMW any day. Love this car!
I want this damn car.
i think i'll put 315s in the rear and 305s up front with a widebody kit
Nice i bought an 06 dodge charger Dayton top banana when they first came out but i wish it had the 392 it came with the 354 5.7 the only thing with the new ones is the price its a lil high like people are sayin i would just get a used hellcat for that much
I love destroyer grey. Such a good color.
Fantastic review!!!
Damn $52k!!!!! I found a 2016 Challenger Hellcat with 2k miles for $54k. Hmm which one to get.
Oooh, if you can stomach the tire budget and fuel budget, get the Hellcat.
I got my 2016 Challenger Hellcat with 1059 miles for $55k back in April. No regrets whatsoever.
yeah but you can probably get that Daytona for well under sticker as well. I have a 2016 Charger HC as well and I agree, you made the right choice!
@@d3j051 I have seen other people say that they got scat packs and Daytonas much less than sticker, but I guess I live in an area that never sells below MSRP. Can't even test drive 392 engines around me. Enjoy your car! They are sweet!
I would never buy a used Hellcat. Even from a dealer. I would rather have a new Daytona than a used Hellcat. But glad you like the car enjoy it. Just hope it wasnt modded then returned to stock before previous owner got rid of it.
I know you mentioned the Charger's exhaust was constantly loud and I think you may have even inferred it was "drone-y" without actually using the term. I have to say I own a 2018 Challenger SRT 392 and cruising the highway at "comfortable" speeds (let's say 75-80 MPH), I've never thought to myself the exhaust was too loud or that it droned. I've tried it both in Default and Sport modes. I wonder if the larger cabin of the Charger may cause more ambient noise? Ah well, no matter, like you said, it's a great soundtrack for driving (besides Pearl Jam, of course). By the way, another great review - love your style and attitude.
Always going to be subjective right, my charger I dont find drone, and I have the mufflers replaced.
Amazing car. Looking at a 392 for my next car, but I’d rather wait for the refresh in 2020+. I see way too many of these on the road.
Love the Metallica reference. 👍👍👍👍👍
Whoa I have beats in mine it’s pretty good homie
Does anyone think they will ever put a M6 in the Charger as a track option?
Thank you for this excellent review good Sir. Where exactly does this spec in the lineup? Is this more like the "Scat Pack", versus the SRT8?
Yeah it’s sort of Scat Pack-ish. Upper tier of non Hellcat cars
its basically a fully loaded scat
@@jamesedwards6553 Gotcha. Cool.
PREACH! i just got a yellow bumble bee and man. i LOVE the car. gets a lot of attention
Too bad Daytona and Challenger T/A wont be available for the 19 model year. I'd take either one in yellow jacket
yes they are....they are just options rather than trims at least that's the case for the Daytona anyway the T/A may be completely gone but the Daytona is not
Good to know
@@richardbutton1261 yes sir
Yep I own a 2019 Charger Daytona 392. In 2019 the performances pages opened up for the 392 as well I believe. No tazar needed.
392 gwinnett County lets link
HA HA HA! Love It!
That background sound is annoying as heck ruined a perfectly done Vid.
It needs more than a 305 on the back lol
You can get that same car your driving for 39 k
They list around here for about $48,000 without the subwoofer package.
damn dude you need to change your brake pads. hella mad brake dust on your rims fam
I like a nice clean car without all the label and sht.
The Comaro and the Mustang are NOT sports cars. They are Pony Cars. A Sports car is a two seater such as the Corvette.
Have you seen Camaro/Mustang back seats? Any one with legs cannot sit back there
@@nahhwe1141 The Camaro and the Mustangs are referred to as a 2+2 and they're not sports cars, they're Pony cars. Anyone with even a passing knowledge of cars knows that.
So by your logic the Porsche 911 is not a sports car because it has back seats. Many other sports and supercars have back seats.
Great video and so true!!!! Just subscribed! Check out my car channel as well sir!
in
also, kill the shitty background musac..
For those of you looking to buy a 392 (Charger or Challenger) beware!!! Having owned a 2015 SRT Challenger and now a 2018 Scat Pack Charger w/ the dynamics package (SRT black wheels and 6 piston Brembo brakes), do yourself a favor and opt for the SRT. One simple and HUGE reason, the suspension is garbage on the Scat Pack, and I mean absolutely terrible! It's great for the track I suppose, but most of us will never drive this car on a track. Don't get me wrong, I love my car and the over looks and performance is second to none, but the suspension is awful! Did I mention the suspension sucks! haha! I'm not 100% positive but I believe the Daytona has the exact suspension as the SCat Pack too. Just thought I'd share...
With that said, again, I do love pretty much everything else about the car.
You can get adaptive damping suspension on 2019s as an option with dynamic package. For me it’s a must have option if you are buying a brand new 2019 charger.
@@zflyzone Yeah I just heard that. I agree, it's a MUST have!
Now you silly...suspension is fine. I own a 18 Daytona 392.
A charger daytona with no giant wing ew its a disgrace
So you wanted it to not sell like the original one did when it first came out? Love all the old school muscle but it’s not 1969 anymore and it never will be again. Appreciate and support what we have now before that too is gone!
What...lol...
