Cheaper and Better Than a Hellcat? 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack Preview 

Whereas the Mustang and Camero have sorta turned into sports cars, this Challenger is still a muscle car/GT car. It looks, sounds and drives like nothing else on the road. Gotta give FCA credit for building something like this! It's pretty cool.

I think I'm finally going to jump off the mustang wagon and try a Challenger. This widebody available to the average guy is awesome. Dodge is killing it these days. Thanks for covering it!

I love my Mustang but I have a soft spot for those 392s.

Oh man. So many good colors!

Their color selection is amazing. The B5 Blue, the Octane Red, the F8 green, the Destroyer Grey, the Plum Crazy, and the Indigo Blue all look amazing!! Honestly, i would be satisfied with either one of those colors as long as the car has black wheels and a nice tint job.

Love to see these two dudes together after long time. Thanks tfl

Good to see you two working together it's been a while

I'm driving a friends 2019 scat pack charger for the week down in FL. I gotta say that this car is the most bang for the buck. Keep in mind that well equipped, it's going to be a lot more than $40k...

Only real muscle left

I sold my 2010 4lt Corvette GrandSport for a Charger 392 and I have to say I'm very pleased with my decision.

get the scat pac, play an MP3 of supercharger whine,...save 40k :)

Thanks for the video. I just traded my 2017 Ford Mustang V6 for a 2018 Dodge Challenger R/T 392 Scatpack with a 6 speed Tremec - it's a hell of a car! In terms of Mustangs, it's on the same level as Mustang GT 350, for a whole bunch less money!

This used to be my dream car and kind of still is.

The 0-60 on the 1320 is faster than the manual Hellcat. Pretty mind blowing to say the least, 3.7 vs 3.9. Another thing, the widebody is NOT under 40k! A base model cloth seats scat pack is under 40k. There are 0 bare bones scat packs on the dealer lots. If u want one for 39k brand new you have to build and order it yourself, otherwise youll spend 50k easy

It is really an awesome ride, but no it's not better then a hellcat! Those 392's sound great

The plum crazy is awesome and B5 blue. And there's no way its under 40k. More like 45 to 48k.

I used to have a fully loaded plum crazy Scat Pack in 2016 loved it probably going to buy another one soon if I can't get a Hellcat

Great video thanks guys. I picked up a new 18 max steel charger scat pack 6 weeks ago and it gets a ton of attention . I love how it looks and sounds!

When you’re a manufacture pumping out a ton of “shells”, it’s nice to see them be able to somewhat customize and market them differently.

I had a 2012 challenger R/T in white with black stripes. It looked good but didnt have any balls coming from my 2006 Pontiac gto.. now with kids sports cars are gone and I have a 13 Ram hemi and a 15 Durango limited. Didnt plan on it but fell in love with dodge

I am so impressed with my 392 widebody scat pack . Handles like it's on rails ! Sounds thunderous! Unbelievable!

just bought a 2016 Scat pack from my brother, gave me a nice deal, he bought it brand new in November 2016 for 47K all extras available included. I love this car!

I was at a concert in Portland and I was driving by like "that's a sweet new Challenger", then I see this. Can't believe I missed them haha

"Reserve grip at the rear" is Engineer speak for "we made it understeer more". More roll stiffness up front with the same/softer setup at the rear = understeer. I guess if you like the front end to plow relentlessly this is fine. It's also good for the FCA lawyers as it will help keep weekend track warriors who don't know what they're doing from looping it into a wall when they lose the rear end.

No widebody Charger? I have kids to think about.

Great T-shirt Nathan. One of the greatest bands EVER.....The car not bad as well.

Destroyer Grey and Indigo Blue are the two best colours on this beast

Oh for fuks sake I love me some Dodge Challenger!!!!!!

Very informative video but would love to hear that engineer from Dodge compare the new Scat Pack widebody suspension to the active suspension on my SRT 392 tho.

1:15 Widebody, but with *All Season Tires* from factory? Please tell me there's a way to option it with Summers instead. I'm sure a lot of people who care about the track benefits of the widebody would rather order it with Summers instead!

I drove one last week, ride was very firm and handling was very good.

Good god that redeye has 220 on the dash!!! IM IN LOVE!!!

Love the color selection and the updates!. Makes me wish I'd waited instead of getting my'18 Mustang GT but I can't complain I love my Stang.

i got a scat pack 6 spead 3 weeks ago, when i tell you this car is fun to drive!!

I was on the fence between Mustang GT and Scat Pack. The GT cost a lot less than the Wide Body but...I already had 3 GT's since 2006. Time for a change. No regrets. 2021, 6 spd Shaker, WB, Triple Nickle.

These new challanger widebodys are amaizing.

I had a 2019 B5 scat pack wide body for 3 months. I traded for a 2018 wide body hellcat. I pick it up this Thursday.

Mustang guy here....but that purple scat pack is cool. Love the bee on the dash and how is scats away...pretty f'ng cool.

Great looking car. Seen a 2018 challenger few days ago with the front splitter and side rockers painted and it looked freaking great, I would have to do the same.

I have a 2021 Challenger Scat Pack Widebody T/A edition in Gold Rush. I bought it with 3,000 miles on it, and only put another 250 so far. It is a beautiful car and handles like it is on rails with everything in Street Mode except the steering, which is in Sport Mode. I have yet to push it harder as I'm driving on back country roads that are somewhat traveled and populated, so I keep the speed within reason. The previous owner had an aftermarket AWE Track Edition exhaust that really makes the car look and sound even more aggressive while adding around 15hp and 12ft lbs of torque. I haven't had it dynoed, and I'm guessing nothing was done as far as tuning the car(I hope) so the factory warranty should still be intact. He also ordered it with the Stripe Delete and Spare Tire Delete for the upgraded Harmon Kardon system with the amp and subwoofer that sit right where the spare would've gone. All in all, I am very happy with my new to me Challenger.

I own a 2021 narrow body version of this car in a different color... Absolutely love everything about it, a true muscle car, but witrh AC and better handling than the originals....lol

That plum crazy purple is still the best color

I have a premium eco boost and I love the way it looks and the interior so I thought of upgrading to a gt but these scat packs are looking better for the price it’s at

Great to see this much needed refresh. Curious how the new Challenger will be styled for 2020. I drive a ZL1 1LE myself but I do like the GT350 and Hellcats. They're great at straight line performance.

I’d go for wide body only for looks. Is it decently comfortable for every day use?

I really like the new widebody lineup and hopefully they drive as good as they look, I know you can't say anything yet but just stating is all

proper muscle car, i love it :)

I actually think I might look into buying one of these, big fan of the hell cat look without the hell cat price and the wide body is a huge bonus.

Thank you guys for the video. I am getting my challenger next year for my 40th birthday. I was curious about the new scat pack because I was in love with the SRT 392. They will give you 392 options but its still just a scat pack with the same badges and steering wheel. So thanks for the video. I will look for a left over or used SRT 392 or a left over Scatpack.

Well I'm a big fan of 392 Scat Pack with at least 485HP that comes with a 6.4L V8 with a shaker only

Ok....waiting for the follow up on this! Want to see the uncensored version and what you really think!

I love the wide bodies! Don't forget the biggest thing you save with the Scat Pack vs Hellcat is the $$$$ on insurance. :)

Destroyer Gray is J B Weld Gray to me.

Is the stock sound system and good or is the upgraded to Harmon kardon inevitable?

So happy plum crazy is back. I got 3 years left on this loan before I can move up.

Sounds so much better naturally aspirated. Always hated the hellcat for the supercharger whine

Ok, Nice review but I´m watching this August 12th, where can I see the Full review with opinions on how it drives, acceleration comparisons between this car and the Hellcat and Redeye.... common guys, lots of fun work left for you to do. Thanks and keep up the Good Work!!

Damn these engineers are just brilliant!!!. They deserve so so much credit for creating these killer products.

Why couldnt they simply make the 2019 model with 500+ HP? Why keep it the same?

Nathan driving the scat pak around the hemisphere! I was in a RUSH to watch this video. Glad you didn't film in a subdivision and chose the open road which is much closer the heart of enthusiasts.

Under 40k is the sweet spot for this enthusiast. Time to make my day dream a reality

Next Wed has come and gone. Can you tell us how it drives now?

I think after having owning both cars now, I would say if you are just going to be daily driving and not going to the track, you are better off with the Scat Pack and saving a little money even though it is nice to have that badge on the car. A Scat Pack set properly ran run pretty close to what you can do with your Hellcat you got right off the dealer lot on standard suburban pavement (aside from.a roll race), but if you are ever going to see a prepped surface at a track? Different story. The Hellcats, Super stocks and Demons should be purchased with the expectation of going to the track every once in a while. .

AWD THESE BIG HEAVY MACHINES THESE CARS HAVE SOME OF THE WORLDS MOST POWERFUL ENGINES HANDS DOWN. If you want to make a iconic car that will have a strong resale and legendary presents in the car world the only answer is "awd".

A fantastic value. A lot of people would be happy with this over the Hellcat.

The exact way I'd want a Challenger if I could afford one.. Widebody 392 R/T... Looks awesome!!!!!

Great video! You just got a new subscriber. All the way in Guyana, South America.

What road course is that? I didn't know there were any in New Hampshire. It's in a very picturesque setting, but looks like it has short straights.

I spoke to a couple of guys that own the 485 horse cars....both had them dyno'd. One was "in" at 530 horses and the other was 524. Both were 2017's Interesting.....I wonder if Mopar purposefully degraded the ratings for insurance reasons, like what was done in the 60's and early 70's.

RUSH RULES!

I like the 392..i got the scat charger myself. I chose it over the hellcat cuz I'm not a huge fan of forced induction. I bet the 392 naturally aspirated will last longer than supercharged engine...plus the 1st 5 gears are quicker than the hellcat.

Im ordering 20x11's for my 2019 scat pack charger 21w dynamics package

My dream car is the 2019 hellcat redeye widebody 💯

God, I would love this car forever.

I’m going to miss Marchionne.:( Really hope they with the same focus.

When wanting to buy either a 2018 SRT or 2019 Scat Pack, which one would you recommend?

485hp with a N/A crossplane V8 it's just on point man.

Dat Rush t-shirt 👌🏾

That Supercharger was screaming😍

RUSH and the Scat Pack - Nothing Better

What a coincidence another guy named Nathan and he's a Steeler fan my kind of guy! 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

Dodge 10 year challenge 2009: Joke of trucks and Muscle cars 2019: The greatest of Muscle cars and the most innovative truck line up

Nathan is a man with good musical taste. First, a Motörhead shirt. Now, Rush.

Are they still building the bright blue Challenger with a Hemi? If so how much?

Nice video. PS love the band Rush on your shirt.

The 6.4L has always been better than the 6.2L supercharged engine. There is somewhere out there a test done which one gets off the line faster.. the 6.4L does before the 6.2L.. but since it was done when the 6.4 came with 245 tires.. it spun where as the Hellcat gripped. So now it should and would get off the line faster and grip more.. but the Hellcat has 200more hp..

My dad has a 1971 dodge challenger plum crazy like yours kind of

Why do they label it as R/T, if it doesn’t have the 5.7L Hemi? Shouldn’t it be SRT since it has the 6.4L?

I just bought one here in Canada , I get it Monday. Oh by the way. Great shirt buddy. Rush !

exactly how id spec it, besides the radio upgrade and the auto trans, also all seasons really?

Any bets this widebody package will come in a v6 for 2020....

I'd love a 392 scat pack shaker with a widebody

What do you guys think of the new wheels? I am partial to the old Hellcat wheels.

Can they run on the Indy 500 . Stay tuned

Dodge is killing it! But do I make the jump from Mustang? Maybe maybe!

Awesome review!

awesome like the 392 but want to here about the 1320 challenger or baby demon

I'm torn between getting a charger or challenger....

My man looks like dude who does the "Carpool Karaoke."

Well in some dealerships, you can get a very good deal to get a Scat Pack better than a Hellcat, in fact it’s those same dealerships where you can get a Scat Pack better a normal R/T
