2018 Charge SRT 392 -One Take 

Yo Franklin called, he wants his car back

14:35 Unfortunately, "self healing leather" is only included in the *Doctor Moreau* option package, which requires the owner to feed and water the seats regularly.

I am five years into owning a 2018 SRT 392. It's been perfect, and it still makes me smile. You road test guys never talk about the amazing features Dodge put into this car. Things like Brembo brakes all the way around, 6 piston calipers in the front, 4 pistons in the rear, two piece slotted front rotors, slotted rear rotors, air ducts to the front brakes (all yielding fantastic stopping power with almost zero nose dive), aluminum hood (yes, aluminum hood), Bilstein gas shocks, IRS front and rear (suspension based on the Mercedes E-Class), limited slip, stainless steel shorty headers on the engine, multi-mode exhaust (not an extra cost option). The ZF eight speed gear box is fabulous, every shift crisp, and it never leaves you in the wrong gear while slowing for a curve or while cornering. And corners - - - it corners perfectly flat. The paddle shifters function almost as quickly as a dual clutch automatic. Not a single fake air scoop. I could rave on. Nobody knows what this car is except for the guys and gals who are fortunate enough to own one and drive one every day. Last, my wife who hated my Mustang, loved this car from the first day I brought it home. Very smart gal.

All the enthusiasm is overwhelming in this video! The passenger seems to have never had caffeine and the driver somehow manages to have a voice that is both shrill & monotone at the same time.

This dude definitely has bodies in his freezer.

Somebody hasn’t had their coffe.

One of the meanest sounding cars. You need to drive one to hear that exhaust.

Zach's intro nails it. I hate to admit how much I love these things.

This car sounds so good. I get people in these cars trying to race me all the time (I drive a Chevy SS) and it's annoying, but there's no complaining about the sound.

Sick man, NorCal is in rough shape. I live in Chico and it’s surreal. Appreciate the support from Matt, Zack and all TST crew.

Thanks Zack. I appreciate your work.

Hey great to see you in the intro as usual Matt! Just like old times lol

Love the shirt, couldn't resist. Dope print and serving a wonderful cause. Can't wait to get it. As for the Charger, Bondurant Racing School uses these for instruction and they handle quite well and do a great job for exhibiting weight transfer that might not show through in a more "nimble" car.

The “Clear Eyes” themed 392 review. Next time insomnia hits, this should put me right to sleep.

I was very happy with my Pzero All season plus tires on my 2012 C63. For all seasons it seems like they hold on pretty well. They let the car get in the 12s on a 1/4 mile pass.

I only clicked on this video because I enjoy these cars so much, but man Zack is so dry and watching this video was so painful how awkward and uninvolved him and his passenger seemed to be.

remember when one takes were awesome and matt used to do them all and now we have this guy and all his enthusiasm lol

This would make a great winter daily!

Love the shirt, already ordered one👍 Blipshift made it super easy to buy too

So glad Zack knows the difference between "Traction control" and Stability control". Fingers crossed he knows that putting an auto shifter lever into [2] will make the car start off in 2nd gear which dramatically slows acceleration times.

Always liked these!

its getting harder and harder to watch these one takes. it’s just rambling on about nothing. the owner doesn’t care about a documentary you saw and neither do we. stick to the car and stop speaking aimlessly.

Great Video! I'm considering buying a 392 and this video helped in my decision making.

Thank you for donating to the fire efforts!

I only clicked because I thought Mat was here. Smh

Stop hating on zack and just enjoy the video. 392 hemi a beast engine.

Tell me about the SVT Contour in the background ! Cool "old" car - nearly forgotten ...

I loveeeeeeeeeee these cars. Note to the interior quality. The 2019 Charger get upgraded leather stitching on the dash and upper door panels.

Also, you can't compare a stock Challenger or Charger to an SRT model. You shouldn't speak in generalizations like every charger or Challenger handles the same. SRT 392 model is the one that's going to handle the most like a sports car (out of ALL of the trim levels.)

Best host on this seasons DRIVE!!!

I never expected a Eddi "the Beast" Hall refference in a one take...The only guy to deadlift 500 Kg...

Pretty normal to get seats cut when the dealer takes delivery and someone goes to remove the plastic with a box cutter never let the dealer off the hook for that crap

I'm glad that whoever edited this video included the correction about the challenger's handling because what was said in the video was incorrect.

It's 0240 Zack. You're keeping me awake! Haha Can't miss a fresh One Take! You keep on getting better Zack. Keep it up man!

Kid is like... I love the car cause it's 1/2 the price of e63 amg... but then he knocks the interior. Brah. Pick your poison. The car is fast and the seats are comfortable. Nobody picking a car over the dash material

good job being safe around bikes/traffic. Zack mentioned the shift points too soon and I think that is to satisfy EPA. the solution is shift manually. you have two options with stick and paddles. Scat Packs have 3.09 rear end, does the SRT have that? Ü

Wait can I still get the classic shirts for now? I wore mine constantly buy recently had a washer problem that resulted in my wardrobe looking like it was for someone who's not out of shape like me

If you love driving, SRTs are hard to beat.

How’s the fuel consumption on one of these? I doubt most concern themselves with that but if I do get one of these I’ll need a ballpark figure since I put about 35k a year on my car lol

these sound woderful with some good long tube headers.

Love the contour in the back

I truly love the stance and look better then the hellcat. Why I’m not sure if it’s the wheels,hood etc but I would rather buy this model in 2015,16,17 or 2018. They sound amazing!

Make one take great again! Bring Matt back.

This guy has no emotions. My favorite video is when Matt drives a Scion TC and is shitting his pants the entire video.

These are so cool for their price

AMG--those cars are GREAT--when they work.I have had wealthy friends in my life and they have owned these cars from late 90s to about 2014--all these folks had at least one or more major expensive repairs all under 100k miles.I was looking at buying an SRT but got a Crosstour Type R instead.Car has never been in the shop--brakes are so strong that in 8 years of driving I have never had the ABS light go on.I test the ABS yearly when snow hits just to make sure it works.Long story short--I was given an srt-8 in 2011 that had about 2k miles on it and at the first stoplight I turned the AC on just to test it and the car almost conked out and the check engine light stayed on till the next day and went off on the way back to the dealership.Dodges reliability is barely better then AMG.I would only buy one of these used with less then 10k miles and I would keep a bank account with about 3k in it just in case of some major breakdown after the warranty expires. If you can not buy one of these outright I would not own one--it could break you financially.Also my average MPG was 13--and that was after I reset it and drove the car pretty normally--I sped on the Hwy-bt I did not drive aggressively for 99% of the time.The last thing anyone should do is finance one of these things to your financial limit because your emotions override your sense.These cars are great and I might look into getting another v8 American car--but I have the cash to clunk 40k down on a slightly used one--having finances in case of a major breakdown.

Charge”r”.

should i buy a charger srt 392 orrrrr a jeep grand cherokee srt?? HELP

Shame on whoever sold a car with a scratch on seat and super shame on dodge for giving him crap.great one take as always Zach

how much gas do you spend on a week

As far as handling goes, which one is better the Lexus GSF or 392?

This video was one year ago and it's terrible you had to introduce the video talking about the wildfires in California, and here we are one year later and well, it's worse :-( I really hope things improve for you guys in terms of all these crazy fires. ✌

Tell us more about the dynamics as you drive the car.....I think the car is fun. Confirm my suspicion.

Pretty sure if you hold the esp button for 5 seconds all traction and stability control comes off.

Is it fast though??

was this filmed before the fires?

If you want something done right you gotta do it yourself. I was lookong forward to Matt Farahs review. He is relatable to all of us who still get giddy when we get to drive a fun car. This guy shows no passion

The fire has truly been devastating thats why I wanted to mention my merch.

Honestly, the dash doesn't really bother me that much. I bought a nice cover for it and it's like I never see it (not to mention having the peace of mind that I'm preserving the material from UV exposure).

That road has no weird bumps.

As a lifter, the Eddie Hall reference tickled my fancies. Though Eddie actually weighs roughly the same as Thor and Brian Shaw, just like half a foot shorter

that’s a real nice charge 🤣

I have a 2017 Chevrolet SS (4-door sedan) with LS-3 6.2L V8 and a 6-speed manual. I have the standard summer tires. Roomy, fast and delightful sound. These kind of cars are a hoot and practical at the same time (if you don't mind the gas consumption).

You know why all these dirtbags are hating on Zack? They’re jealous. Matt has been doing the car guys dream job long enough to earn some respect among car guys, and then he stepped down and let Zack in on the one takes and the haters wish it was them. They obviously haven’t listened to one podcast or they would’ve known Zack has been around just as long.

Very cool shirt. And what a great cause.

The owner was stoked to find out he was going to be on TST, then bummed when he found out it wasn't going to be Matt driving...

that car has the most beautiful tail light at night.....the problem is it seems chryslers dont last long....there used to be lots of the first gen new 300, chargers and magnum here in los angeles......now i dont see much

I’m in the market and they are not cheap...I found a few used ones with low miles and they run around 40,000

Zack....coffee bro ask matt for some high octane coffee, then do same review.

What about that srt school? Where can I apply

Feelin those little wiggles and squiggles

Issa boat

Yo TheSmokingTire, the title and description are different !

from a fun factor standpoint only, is it this or a hellcat?

How is this one take?

Perfect police cruiser. :)

How much are these now?

I drive a B5 Blue R/T and I love it. It's fast enough, looks good especially in B5 Blue, and it has every option you want in a car.

Great Review thank you!!!! Would be tough choosing between one of these new or a lightly used 17/18 vs a 2013/14 BMW M5 competition.

Does dodge still make srt 392 or just straight to hellcat?

Yo, I want a truck, but low. Hold on fam, I gotcha.

Angeles Crest Highway, nice road.

isn't this the exact brad that would have an automatic charger

the passenger's personality matches this car's looks.

Even though I like the dude hosting, I couldn't help but to wonder how he is at wine tasting events.

matt please come back 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

This was one dead-buried-down-the-cemetery review ever! "uuuuuuuhhhhh......yeeeeeeeeeaaahhhhh, heeeeeeavyyyyyyyyy, ...." etc etc.....

Car is a big heavy fast insane dinosaur and doesn’t apologize for it. Looks fun, tough sell in 2018 though, definitely a dying breed.

Car sounds great, it might have been a more sought* after vehicle with a manual.

Nice review, srt driving school (Bob Bondurant) is closed due to bankruptcy 👍

Soon as you said “4500 lb curb weight” I shut the video off.. Almost as heavy as my prom date. Love your content tho.

Good review by Zack. There's a lot of haters here, but I appreciate the low-key review that doesn't make it sound like your puffed up opinion is the only opinion to rule the land (ahem). Also, thanks for driving considerately/safely around the cyclists! Not all driving enthusiasts have to drive like a-holes...

Why compare the handling of a Charger SRT 392 to a Challenger Hellcat? Apples-to-apples would be a Challenger SRT 392 to a Charger SRT 392. By the way, the challengers weighs less - isn't it safe to assume that the Challenger handles a little bit better being a slightly smaller car and lighter car? And he said it himself, there's only a 1% difference in the weight distribution.

My next car

You dropped this r

looks like a "Brad" type of car....maybe even Chad, Thad, or Kyle

Give me a "m3" version with the v8 and a manual option for a similar price.

My dad's friend's daughter has a Dodge Challenge...

FCA customer service is horrible. My Jeep was a nightmare to service.

If that's a socal only car, ditch those all seasons and get a UHP summer
