Differences Between The SRT 392 & Scat Pack Dodge Charger 

A lot of SRT guys are mad in these comments jeez... I got the Scat pack I wouldnt drop $8K more i might as well get a Hellcat doing all that

One of the differences is it is cheaper on insurance to get scatpack yet having same engines

He said that people say the comfort mode is too comfortable? Is that like saying the food tastes too good? neither is possible!

I agree 100% with this guy. $8K difference way too much for too little difference between the SRT / Scat Pack. Scat Pack is the better deal, but I can see why some people would opt for the SRT.

They should bump the SRT to 600hp. I'm sure folks who can't afford a hellcat with 707, would still be pleased with an SRT with 600hp. SCAT PACK 485......SRT 600-605......HELLCAT 707hp. That would be a good means to appeal to all potential buyers....IMO.

So a Scat Pack is nothing but a base model SRT

5:56 "Cruisin down the street.... in my 6.4" lol

The Scat Pack is the best bang for the buck and really the true old school muscle car when you think about it (RT package with the big engine). The SRT is a good package though and I feel is worth the extra cash. If Dodge would have given the SRT more HP, that would have taken away from the Scat package IMO.

I believe the SRT has a way smoother ride than the Scat Pack...recently purchased one and don't regret it at all...the SRT model has truly made me happy☺️

SRT392 is the "sweet spot" , you get all the upgrades that were stripped from the "affordable" SCAT PACK and options that are not available for the HELLCAT. SRT392 is currently the only model that comes "fully loaded". I'll end this by saying if you own any one of these awesome machines, you are privileged! They offer excellent smiles per gallon!

4 years later i still had to watch your vid to tell the difference

8gs in upgrades and your scat pack will beast. My Scat has adaptive and drag mode and several Demon features.

You know both of these cars are worth it when 5 years later its still the same price as when it came out on the market 💯

And the 275 was most certainly not big enough for the Hellcat lol. Thankful for the Z06 335

leather is so overrated it gets hot and cold and cracks over time suede is the best

The SRT is slightly more track ready. The brakes/suspension/tires for $8,000, that's your call on if it's a good value. For daily the Scat Pack brembo's are good enough, and a set of wheels/tires can be had for $2500, and adaptive suspension MEH aftermarket shocks/struts and springs about $2,000 even less if you just go with springs soooooo with the left over cash you can get a nice exhaust but then again just a mid muffler x-pipe swap is like $200 so get the SCAT

Good video and good comparison. The purpose of the Scat Pack was to offer the exact same engine as the SRT at a cheaper price point. There is no point in changing the SRT motor just to give it something that the scat pack doesn't have just for marketing reasons.

I put the taser on my scat pack ($250) and now I've got all the SRT instrumentation, track, valet, and Eco modes etc. It's pretty sweet. They should send you one for free to demo. I'm waiting for your tire review too! Keep up the great work.

When I was building out my 2015 Charger Scat, I was adding many extras and when all was said and done, it was about 2-3 grand from the SRT. So I went with the SRT. I have no regrets and love my car so much. The Scat was a great value if you did not want all the extras like I did. Now the SRT392 trim has been discontinued so it's a bit moot these days. You can still outfit a Scat up to the levels of the SRT version now too so that's great. Both are fantastic American muscle cars, whichever trim you choose.

Was never a fan of the chargers, but The new ones are beautiful, i give Dodge props.

Both are great! I was looking at the Scat Pack, and found an SRT for only $3,000 more, so I went with that. Dodge did great with these cars.

I had an R/T Challenger 5.7 and always wish I had the SRT. Next time around it will be top tier

I think I would go with the SRT if given the choice. The options you get with the computer are worth the extra money to me at least.

Couple notes: SRT with no options can come with leather/alcantara combo seats. Also SRT badge on steering wheel.

The comparison to benz is understandable seeing to how the charger was birthed on a benz chassis

Tazer is $259 shipped. I got one and its awesome.

The main reason I went with the SRT instead of the Scat Pack or Daytona is simply because the options that I wanted (Customer Preferred Package 23X, Harmon Kardon system) just weren't available as they were on the SRT.

One of the things I love about track mode.......the adaptive exhaust is wide open. LOVE that. Also, wish you would have done a 60-0 brake test on both cars, just to show the differences in braking - vs just mentioning the sizing of the brakes.

Scat Pack + Supercharger = Win.

I'd personally go with the SRT 392 just for the Harmon kardon audio and brakes/suspension.

They need to drop a demon charger

the stuff people say about the different are hilarious. "srt is way better it grips and handles better and dodge secretly gave it more power and srt so much better because the acronym stands for street Abd racing tech". THE ONLY differences are 4 piston to 6 piston breaks, the suspensions are the same the srt just is electronically adjustable, and one page in the.menus. if yiu want that stuff by all means buy an srt. I didn't need any of that and got a 392 for 8k less.

To be honest. The Scat Pack is the best bang for your buck car in the world right now!

Pro tip: Valets know how to turn off the valet mode.

I’m grabbing me a scat in January so I needed this vid my boy 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

SP392 = great musclecar value SRTHC = great supercar value

ill pay 8 grand extra just for the srt on the steering wheel lmao

The difference between a SRT and a Scat pack, is I'd rather get a used SRT with like 10k and pay the same as a new Scat pack. Only because the SRT has alot more, especially the Brembos

I bought a fully loaded SRT 392 charger. I was in the market for the SP, but like you said, none of the dealerships had SP chargers. Yet, the dealerships had a number of SRT's available (Northern VA and DC area). Unlike what your comments were, the dealerships let me test drive lots of challengers and chargers (not hellcat). One thing I like are the modes you explained. Note: it always starts in default and sport and track settings are not available in default when you start it. Thus, you always have to load the pages to switch to a more aggressive drive mode. It's luxury by default, but insane when I want it be. Track suspension will really beat the hell out you, but that's perfect for the track. Also, I could care less about the 5.7 coming out. We both have a 6.4! That's all that matters! But I did want plum crazy. Almost bought Go Mango until my GF said it looked like a taxi. I ended up with tri-coat red with Xzilon spray. Worth it!

Somebody should've done this comparison with the Challengers too a long time ago.

Finally, a simple video to understand the difference. Thank you.

Imma get the srt used, it’s been a few years now and the prices are pretty decent for one and actually damn near the same as the scat pack. Low mileage as well.

there was a dude sitting in the passenger seat the whole time...

fully loaded Scatpack in Canada costs about the same money as SRT 392. Who would buy that Scatpack then?

12 minutes of RP justifying the ScatPack purchase. ScatPack is a great car.....SRT is just better. I love mine.

I just seen a 2017 Dodge Charger rt 392 for 39,995 and Dodge Charger srt 392 for 51,145 ... Cant you just buy the cheaper one and just put srt badges on it since they both have the same damn engine

The only 2 things I wish I had in the Scat that the 392 only had, is the SRT steering wheel. Other than that, everything else can be modded and not paid for with interest over the term of your car payments

Man that PURPLE THO! Beautiful as hell, you have great taste

SRT comes with SRT Support, Customer Service, and Case Management. Worth it right there!

3:06 110 miles left of range in about 3 quarters of a tank of an 18.5 gallon fuel tank? Geez!

RP the 15 scatpacks got the SRT track day only because when they first came out they were VINed a SRT Super Bee I got lucky and got the day for free. I put the Tazer on mine and it was $250 and got the extra menu items and shift light and was able to do some other things like no DRL drop when using the turn signal and line lock.

I would think long term having the extra electronic bells and whistles of the SRT would mean more things to break or stop working.

I had a scatpack for 7 months and traded into an SRT I get the bang for the buck on scatpacks but I love my SRT and the hp is actually underrated just a bit mine dynos completely stock around 515-520 and my scatpack was around 465-470. Unfortunately they are discontinued but you can get a used one for a reasonable price

Don't forget the srt track experience, which is a $750 value.

For some reason, my Scat Pack includes all of the extra stuff that the SRT comes with, mine is a 2018. Only difference I see is the Scat Pack symbol which I love and the cloth seats which I prefer especially in summer.

I'll take the scat pak. I'm not tracking it.

I have a 2019 Dodge Charger scatpack in b5 blue. It has hellcat wheels, 305 tires and it has the 6 piston Brembos. However it doesn’t have the suspension upgrade. I like it just fine.

From myself, who has decided that I want a used 392 or Hellcat for a new toy / weekend driver, thank you for this video.

Spot on review, but I say, driving and automatic Challenger Scat, compared to SRT in the rain is a major difference. The scat feel like a hair trigger in the rain and for less experienced drivers can be the difference whether or not youre in a ditch or swiping another car. Also, track vs street mode in the SRT really shows its differences in the rain conditions as well. Imagine at a stop light making a left, the hard bang in to second can easily break the rear loose. Other than that, really not much difference.

I love my Scat Pack Challenger!

They are both great cars personally i have had a scat pack and recently purchased a 2018 SRT. The scat pack was the first of its kind Challenger sublime green difference 4piston brembos to the SRT 6 piston brembos Belstein adjustable suspension in the srt. Track mode also the premium leather alcantara seats with heated and cool front and back seats. the charger srt has fatter tires at 275 stock compared to the 245 with optional 295. I do agree with him on the note how they should push the SRT for a market stand point to atleast 530 HP. The 6.4 L is capable of it. I love my SRT its amazing rides smooth and its a great car to each there own. Both cars are great in my opinion.

And just a reality check..if the SRT was sooo much more amazing than the scat..then how come Dodge discontinued them? Maybe cause you can get a scat w/ the “dynamics package” ($2000) and still stay under $45k. shout out to all my SRT 392 owners and their negative equity because KBB only appraised the SRT for $2k more than a scat..after you paid $8k more than a scat @ the dealership lmao

Man i remember watching this the first day it dropped. Time Flies 😂😂❤

still like the scat pack so much more

My scat pack has all the transmission and suspension adjustment. Regular, sport and super track

My math is wrong because it showed 32,000$ compared to 50,000$ and that's def not 8k difference

The fact the srt has 6 piston Brembos and the suspension options is more than enough for me to buy it

Quarter mile/ roll races- Scat Pack -200lbs lighter -less expensive -same power, transmission, tune, etc Daily driver- SRT 392. -more comfortable ride -better brakes -more options to control/ srt pages I’m not hating on either side, I’m looking at it through a statistical standpoint. The SRT 392 is not better than the Scat Pack for the purpose the car was built for- straight line performance. The Scat Pack is not better than the SRT 392 for the sake of a more comfortable ride.

Hey guise i have a 2020 scatpack and its the same as the SRT 392 except i dont have leather seats i have eco sport and track mode adaptive suspension etc good video im on the dodge forum arguing w some butt hurt 35yro about how theres no difference between the newer scatpack vs that srt trim

You was bout to say a lot more meat to hold on to wasn’t you 🤨 😂

They have officially discontinued the SRT package on the 392 for the year 2019

Dude that screen interface is fucking SICK... so is adjustable suspension, steering, and transmission settings.

Haha. I saw you pass the equestrian place on Hufsmith Rd. I thought it looked familiar, so I went back in the video to see if I recognized anything else, only to see you pulling out of Burroughs Park. I would've never guessed when I clicked on this video that it was recorded in Tomball, TX of all places. Small world.

**Insert Spider-Man meme here**

I'm so glad I work for the company that makes these

I feel like car guys look to much into it. I have a Hellcat charger with the v6 body style so people that wanna race laugh at me then my engine/computer chip do the rest.

I have a zo6 and had one of these pull up next to me on the freeway. He clearly didnt know his corvettes models and I clearly didn't know his. I thought it might be the hellcat so I didnt want to race haha. Now I know

I agree the srt needs to have atleast 30 more horses to outsell the scatpack. Im in the market for challenger and see no reason to pay thousands more for the srt vs a scatpack.

The main difference is the ScatPack is still around!!!!!!

Colors are beautiful, definitely would buy the SCATPACK just because

I have a Burgundy SRT and I love it! Daytonas and Scat packs are cheaper. I do wish they would have made the horsepower higher. Only thing this car does not have, is a sun roof. And on all Chargers, I wish Dodge would put sensors in the front. Track mode is for sure more aggressive, tighter suspension, much louder! As Mike with MDGCollections said, "our car is a jet on wheels ".

I have the Jeep SRT and test drove all the Scat packs and SRTs. The best deal is do what I did. Buy a low mileage Certified Used with the Extended warranty. You will get an SRT for Scat Pack money with a much better warranty. Powertrain extended to 7 years/100K miles and my extended takes it to basically bumper to bumer to 100K miles. All the features you can't get or don't option in a Scat Pack you will miss once you have them. I never thought the adaptive cruise was useful until I had it. Same goes for the blind spot monitoring. I spend time in very hot and cold weather which the heated/vented seats are nice to have as well. Track mode is fun too. In the end buy what you like. Just don't buy just for price. You can usually find the color/options you want used. I wanted a Jeep SRT8 fully loaded, tow package, panoramic roof Black/Black and that's what I bought. Even came with a full Stainless aftermarket exhaust for less than that Scat Pack the guy in the video bought, again with a better warranty.

Great video! I love the SRT very beautiful beautiful car. Scat pack is also a beautiful car as well.

In simple terms: Scatpack = R/T Plus with 392 engine SRT392 = Hellcat with 392 Engine

Another great video! You mentioned the difference of caliper size, however are the rotors the same size as the SRT?

SRT Guys shouldn’t be mad. In some circles having a SRT is considered to be an limited edition. They mad cause Dodge decided to back an economic edition. If they mad at that then they should be furious at Hellcat owners

IT WAS 100 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT OUT THERE‼️ Great video, please continue. I would love to see a review of the “2020 Wide Body HellCat Charger”‼️👑

Probably the worst discrimination you will endure while owning a Dodge, will be from other Dodge owners.

A lot of angry posters on here. I suspect they ride a bicycle.

The SRT is basically a hellcat without the 707 horse

drinking wine lookin over at the ocean bay.... lmao!!

When I see a hell cat scat pack or charger they all look the exact same to me

Scat Pack!!!!! 😁

Take the adaptive cruise control and lane departure option off the SRT in the video and the price is cut down making them closer in price.

Honestly its totally superficial. But I bought the SRT because I hate the basic steering wheel. Srt all day. Plus where I live srts are only like 35 grand now 🤣

Now if you are in the market now. A used SRT is a great buy. If you are going new vs new the Scat is the better option especially if you are going with the A8 because the Tazer will unlock just about everything.

Thyanks for the comparison test and comments I rode in SXT charger felt fine for what it is instead of R/T looking at SRT now Scatpack first SRT second R/T last

If you want full track mode you have to hold down the track buttons while you turn the car on and it reaaly turns it on

you never replied to my comment :'(. Looks like I'm keeping the Honda

I wanted the 6 pistons and all the SRT stuff until i found out bout that SRT tax flr maintenance 😂 yall got it ima chill wit my Scat
