Winding these things up to the redline in second gear is the sweet spot. But chugging along at low RPMs on the highway with that deep rumble is a close second. Oh, and throwing them around in the twisties like no 4400 pound car should be able to handle is up there, too. It's just a damn-near perfect fucking car.
It's a great car it has to cool the hood if you look up 1970 AAR Cuda it has this Hood. love this car only downfall is Dodge should have stuck to the Challenger ta Hood of 1970
Bought mine at the end of May and can't stop driving it. Probably the best choice for those looking at buying a Challenger but can't figure out which model to get. Well, the Hellcat would be, but I couldn't afford one and not a lot of people can either.
My name Isname, Driving around town I get about 11 or 12 mpg and on the highway I can get 22 if driving 65mph. It is however painful having to drive 65 in this car, so I usually get 18 to 20. This is NOT a car for you if you are concerned about good gas mileage. So, to answer your question: YES!
Look up the zAutomotive Tazer for these cars. I've read they get insane gas mileage (some guys have reported as high as 36-38 mpg hwy, look up videos) and I plan to get a Tazer for my '16 Scat Pack for this very reason.
The best part of this is probably the most accurate description of gear linkage and clutch anywhere on the net of the challenger. It takes a little getting used to and loves being abused, but can be a little clunky cold, and at low speeds.
My uncle had a yellow 70 Challenger with a dual quad 440, My brother has a yellow '72 'Cuda with a 440 (originally a 318), but we love our YellowJacket T/A for all the reasons stated in this vid. Sums it up perfectly!
I have a 2020 T/A 392. I used to have a 2018 T/A 392. Since I had the 2018 and when I was looking to purchase again, I looked at the Hellcat and Hellcat Redeye. I looked at other SRT packages and I came back to the T/A. The car is rated at 485hp, but the onboard dyno has a few times flirted with 500hp when rapped out. The T/A package gives a better suspension and better steering than the Hellcat(although not adjustable). And there is Hellcat “sprinkled” all over the engine. 485hp is MORE than enough on the street. If you say it’s not enough, I’m either not equipped to carry your helmet or you’re a damned fool who’s gonna wreck. Because it has less hp and torque(475ft lbs. That’s A LOT), it’s easier to have fun with. You can use the power better. I put 305s all around and the car REALLY hooks up. Delete your mid mufflers and you’re set. No need for anything else.
Only downside to the T/A and Scat Pack is that they dont have SRT Track mode, but if you get the manual it doesnt matter, but with the auto track mode shifts so hard its insane, you can get the Tazer which will give you the SRT modes.
nrken1 Exactly mate but unfortunately these modern car lovers just don't get this unique concept. Also dodge is still keeping big American V8s in they're cars.
Now if it only had the Laguna leather, kinda sucks how the T/A has the full 5 year warranty for the powertrain VS the SRT which only has 3. Great video as usual!
I cant believe people sitting here comparing cars. The mustang, camaro, challenger all are similar but with their own strengths. It's so "to each their own" there's no way of possibly saying one is better than the other. My friend has a new Hellcat, let me drive it for a good hour. Great comfortable car with incredible power obviously, my problem is that it doesn't feel like a sports car, way too heavy and not nimble feeling at all, which that's not really what the car is aimed at anyways. then i narrow it down to the new Camaro and new Mustang 5.0 , hard to find a difference in them, but i pick the Camaro because it's flat out the fastest v8 car out there right now. They all look great, sound great, and have enough power.
Question for the owner. If you had to do it again would you buy the T/A ? I'm looking for one in the spring but I've considered an RT Skat pack 392 or a used SRT or Hellcat if I can find the funds. Love the T/A though. Gorgeous car.... and yeah.... I"m gonna really drive it when no ones looking.
I just was on the website tonight and built one before I even watched this video. They must have updated it because as of tonight F8 green was an option. And the one I chose of course :)
I just asked this question. Wasn't sure how far down the replies I was going to have to go to find someone that knew what they were talking about. The Green-Go was in fact only available in 2017 for about three months.
My grandparent had a green go T/A then they traded it for a superbird and 3 years later not to long ago i see a white T/A at a store parking lot and I was like OMG ITS A T/A
Man I dont like those wheels. I like the Charger wheels better. There is something about the little horizontal bar between the 2 spokes that just does not look right.
You can buy a barely-used Hellcat cheaper than that. And this is about the only Challenger test drive I've ever seen with no burn out what's up with that
My pops just bought a hellcat for 55k M6 2016 brand new lol sticker price was 71k.. lol and it was 6k less than a brand new TA with cloth seats for 61k
Brandon vidal 61K does sound wayyy overpriced. If wanted a 392 Challenger then I would go scat pack because it's wayyyyyyyy cheaper than the TA and plus you can make it you're own to now of course for me (as well as my dad) I would get a 392 Scat Pack Charger because it has 4 doors (which makes it practical) and it Costs $38K which is really great value.
Brandon" Dont listen to CJ---he is a hillbilly from Kansas city who drives an old rust bucket Ford F150 with a turd 302 V-8 that gets 12 mpg...he did have a good youtube page having sex with dogs but he took it off....shucks...
Many would say this is not about leather and stuff,but Jesus Christ this car is 62 000 CAD $ without tax,even shitty cars for 38 000 $ have leather seats for God Sake,its not 90`s when it was a luxury option.You are not buying just 4 wheels and engine for 62 G,especially in Ontario.
