Dodge Charger R/T 5.7 Hemi Daytona, Should You Buy It? 

I can understand the feeling. However, I do have to warn you, that feeling does not go away. Especially if you are going to have it parked in a garage and get to hear it ROAR to life every morning :)

That's what I have. All white 300s, V8. I absolutely love that car. More power than I need. LOL Great review on your Charger. I'm really thinking about trading this summer for a white Charger SRT w/tan seats. That's what I really want.

Did you buy it?

I am heading out this evening and I will try to wear a face mask and armored underwear so they do not see my emotion lol.

Hey man. Did you buy it? I hope so. I LOVE mine. Mine is the 29S package. (Basically "all the bells and whistles".) Let us know how it's working out for you!

You need permission ? 😂😂

@@Mustlehard they probably share expenses meaning the car is a sacrifice for her

Me either-they do look good!

Its a package not a model

@@hemilifestyle1715 what’s the difference between the regular rt?

Ya I got one from a State Trooper on my way home from Cedar Point. It really threw me off.

Emmanuel K i agree i got one too

Emmanuel K my dads scat pack gets 19 combined

Midwest Mopars we re still getting 15-17mpg...los angeles traffic really hurts :/

Emmanuel K I bet. I'd love to live there

martin duenez it also depends on how you are purchasing it. If you are paying cash then yes it is a no brainer. If you are financing with their special rate the 5.7 will save you a decent amount on a purchase however leasing is where the real difference in cost is which is the way I would recommend the Daytona 5.7

Supercharge it

@@SkiLLy125 I purchased a 2019 (brand new) Dodge Challenger T/A 392 fairy loaded for 41k. Also Cleveland area

martin duenez with a scat youll just be on par with the Camaro SS and Mustang GTs. You ain't smoking anybody.

Gabriel Lorenzana you’re smoking 90% of cars that pull up on you on the road with a scat, most folks will take that as a reason to buy 💀

Trevon Irving sorry man! Maybe this spring I’ll bring out a video of my new scat :P

Nice!!! Make sure you check out our 2017 Daytona Charger group on FB if you haven't already :)

Most likely with a trade in or some money down to assist as well.

The One and Only I'm in Michigan and put in around $1000 down with no trade in

Casey C I live in Michigan, would like to know which dealership if you don’t mind.

@@caseyc5567 your credit score must be crazy good!?

Isn't that just a more technical explanation of what I said? :P

You said sometimes the oil does not get all the way burnt up 🤷🏽‍♂️ a positive crankcase ventilation valve is on cars to do exactly what the name states, now during the combustion process theirs always a little bit of those gasses aka blow by that gets into the crank case the pcv does suck and re direct it back to be re burn yes but it's not re burning oil that would be stupid its re burning vapors. Sometimes while sucking up vapors it can suck some oil that's where the catch can catches (some)of that oil not all!

You're very welcome! I love my car and don't regret the 5.7 at all.

Yes Frenchfryne get one. It's a blast to drive. 5.7L or 6.4L either one is fun to drive, plus the extra 100hp from 6.4L do some people really need it. Me personally I don't race all the time, mostly cruise around so 390hp is good for me. Just my option

J s 110 hp increase. It's really insane. Crappy part is I'm having a hard time getting a 392 to do a video on

Yes, the HP is definitely significant. My concern is with the stock tires, and driving daily, it's not really practical to have anymore HP than the 370-ish and 410 lb/ft of torque is more-than-enough. You can drive the 392, but you won't be able to push it regularly on the street.

J s I’m from Philadelphia I had a 2015 Challenger Scat Pack I definitely loved it but it was expensive for me. Insurance almost $400 per month and gas was about $60 every 3 days. Super fun to drive though. Opting for a 2019 R/T or 2017 Daytona Tuesday

From what I saw all of them because it's an R/T with a Daytona Package. So that's how they see it. I could be wrong though.

Considering a v6 mustang is faster I'm sure any company will

Thomas Limbach lmfao wtf are u on my guy 😂😂🤣

Yea he’s on some good shit it’s absolutely is not faster then the R/T stop smoking crack it’s bad for your health man 👨

False, If someone comes up to you and offers you a 5.7 Daytona or a fully loaded scat pack for the exact same cost, what would you do? Exactly what I did ha.

Bogdan3d you talk like 100 hp is nothing. That's a big difference in hp. And actually the scatpack has 110 more hp to be exact. The 392 is a lot more motor than the 5.7. I'm tired of 5.7 owners acting like there's not much difference because there is. Hp isn't cheap. A simple tune ain't going to get you but a few extra hp. You will spend several thousand dollars to gain the extra hp. There's no replacement for displacement. Put a supercharger on a scatpack and u got a hellcat.

Scottie Odle I'm not talking down the 6.4 engine at all. The 5.7 engine is putting down a little more power than advertised from what I see people say in the forums. I agree that the 6.4 is a great engine don't get me wrong. For my needs the 6.4 is too much. If I really wanted more power I'd get a hellcat instead. Not the 6.4 cuz the consumption is not far away from the hellcat and it's not worth going for the 6.4 vs the hellcat from that point of view. But then again, you don't buy a V8 Dodge for gas consumption

Bogdan3d the base price for a scatpack is 40,000 vs a hellcat which is 65,000. That's a big difference buddy, I don't care how u want to look at it. The scatpack is the best bang for your buck period. End if discussion

Scottie Odle cool

Bogdan3d People so power hungry. I got a 16 RT. In my opinion so much more balanced than 392 or higher. Plenty power and no traction issues. Added my borla catback and kn intake super nasty. The 392 suffers from traction issues. Dodge played on the fact that folks are hooked on power. Where are you really gonna use 392 and hellcat power other than drag strip. Most folk will get tickets or worse.

My 5.7 is going well 90,000 miles 2011 just make sure you do timely oil changes and spark plugs you’ll be fine

Papi the Don Rogillio the 392 is indeed another great choice!

If you want the styling and looks of the big bad 392 but want to save some money then go with the Daytona. If you can afford it however, opt for the bigger 6.4 392 HEMI.

Truong GameZ you should get one I have one check out my vids

I just got my 2016 sxt 2 months ago I love it so much , & right I wanna do the same thing but I want 392 srt, scat pack or srt hellcat / hellcat

Performance cost..... Money

Aye I noticed that too!! I was like wtf he’s probably so small or the car is just big

That car is a boat but yes he is short

Bricklayerlz dp shut up man just enjoy cars in general no need to make it a competition if he’s happy with it so be it

@@antoniop.7438 My comment came out wrong 😂. I love the hemi's I was just comparing the cars size it's a large vehicle but not a tall one is all I was saying

Bricklayerlz dp ok babe sorry

It’s a big car

Congrats! I'm trying to get one in 2 weeks

I do not really know the practical difference in MPG between the two as I have not really driven the 392 that much. However I can tell you that if you want to you can get in the low to mid 20's MPG for the 5.7 if you do a mixture of city and highway. More if you mostly do highway.

I love them both. You cannot go wrong with a Jeep though either.

In Canada they go by how many accidents with each car, I have 2006 - RT/RT - 5.7 I got a quote on a 2010 - SRT8 - 6.1 and it was a 9 dollar difference

aidoist I love ittt!!!

Yes I agree they sound a lot more aggressive

I have a 2017 one sounds better but not really amazing, just get an exhaust

William Davie dude just go get some exhaust work, like come on who keeps stock exhaust on a v8 lol

William Davie Got my 2018 last week the exhaust sounds great and meaty.. But it has a little bit of drone though i love loud exhausts

William Davie I have the same year rt do a mid muffler delete & leave the resonators.. it's sounds great & no drone & quiet when cruising & loud enough to turn heads if you want

Oldschoolhiphop, I’ve owned a 77 Olds Cutlass with the 350 Rocket, & several GM 350 5.7’s from the mid 70’s..trust me the only thing they have in common with any of the 5.7 LS engines, & the gen3 5.7 Hemi is Cubic inches..other than that the GM 5.7L was watered down & highly under powered from 1972 through 1987

+Fulfilled Rogue That 75 rocket olds has punch. Maybe your talkin about the olds 350 with the blue valve covers. The rocket had the gold valve covers.

Oldschoolhiphop, the 350 Rocket engine blocks came in both gold & blue. The gold ones were in the late 60’s early 70’s. the only Olds 350 worth bragging about were the 1968-71 W-31’s that had good power around 330hp/360tq..the 350 rocket’s from 72-80 were awful, my 77 had maybe 170hp. I had to stroke it to 383 to get 415hp out of it. It might not sound like a big deal, but i got that CutDog when I was 19, & I was broke as hell so it took me working 2jobs to pay for everything I did to the car

+Fulfilled Rogue So your saying that Oldsmobile only had one 350. Thought the rocket was a different 350 motor. On the other hand it was never clear if the 2 were different or not. Most people said they were different & the rocket had a 400 crankshaft was the difference. I had two 75 cutlass supremes. One had that blue engine the other was gold. The gold had more power. The difference was the gold got out the hole much quicker than the blue one.

Oldschoolhiphop, it’s not that they had two different 350’s, it’s the fact that pre 1971 Oldsmobile just like Mopar, & Ford all had much more powerful V8’s not just small block 350’s, but 302, 305, 318, 327, 340, etc..and much more powerful big block engines as well. Everything changed starting in 71 because of the International oil embargo, & the U.S clean air act/law required new strict smog/emission laws which meant that the engines could no longer be high compression engines that used leaded high octane fuel, so for example the 1970 SS chevell LS6 454 was 450hp/500tq! But the very next year the same 454 engine was 360hp/400tq, then by 1973 the 454 engine only had around 220hp.. Your 1975 CutDog with its stock 350 Rockets making 170hp is not in the same ballpark as a 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass with its stock 350 Rocket making 330hp.. The only American performance V8’s that where still the truth in 1971 were the Chrysler 426 Hemi, 440 magnum, 383, & 340, & that came to an end in 72..the ONLY American performance car in 1973-74 that still had the juice was the one and only 73-74 Pontiac Trans Am SUPER DUTY 455..everything else was pathetic until 1984-87 when Buick developed the turbo V6 Grand National, & the Great 87 GNX

I will be trying to do one on the demon but I am not sure if I will really be able to. I will however, be doing a review on the Hellcat for sure. Glad you liked my review :)

Paul PKexpress ok thanks, now I’m drunk. And I have to work tomorrow ....

I use Geico. Did you know that you can save up to 15% by sw... just kidding lol. That was who I got the best payment through.

try nationwide, i think they are low as well.

Thanks!

SkiLLy thank you bro

Tiko Davenport you're very welcome

highaces2017daytona ! Glad you enjoyed it!!! Love the Daytona's. Wish mine was the 392 from time to time but I still love the 5.7 :) also make sure you join our 2017 charger Daytona group on fb. (They were gonna change the name possibly since the 2018s are out now too.)

SkiLLy .. sorry I didn't see this till now... work your way up.. I started with a 2013v6 challenger about 5 months ago..witch I traded for this one..my plans were to get a hellcat challenger.. but now I brought this I might be keeping it... if I go hellcat I'm starting to leaning towards it being a charger... my car now is go mango.. I love the white Also! 2013 was white.

That's a great color! I would have gotten the 392 but I was bringing $6,000 in negative equity :(

That's awesome! Congrats on the new car!

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. And as you can Purchase a Scat Pack for a Similar, not same price, you Cannot Lease one for the same price. The Scat is about $80-150 more per month on a lease. I do agree that if you are looking to get the 6.4 option that is the least expensive route to go.

NfamousMarine I came from a z06 to a 392 so I feel your pain but I just needed a cool four door ride for the family and it fulfills it role very well as a daily driver and usable power without breaking the bank...

Chris Silva I do the best with what I have. You’d need a step ladder or a 20 ft tripod to get into the engine bay like you’re asking for 😅. I do appreciate the input though 😃

that's nothing, your fine

Nxc ule im a Waiter Nyc steakhouse till i finish College

Redline Challenger right. That is an option that is an option on mine as well. I chose not to get that option. Does the heritage also have the set styling?

Black Wraith not the new ones. I would agree with you but the interior is much nicer than my 2013 Avalon Limited had.

ya there was lots of mods getting that to install

I know I really need to do it. Not sure when I'm going to be able to do it. I was hoping to do it this weekend but just got lasik and eyes are all bloody lol. I'm gonna try and shoot the whole thing on Sunday.

leroy johnson idiot

Yes

I hear you, I actually took the car home to do a video on it the beginning of the month before I went on vacation and I left me SD card for my camera at work :/. I'll have a few coming out on it. I'm going to be doing 4 short video's most likely possibly only 3. But the idea is 1 to be "The Drive" 2 to be "Features" 3 "Why or Why not buy" and 4 "The Comparison"

That would scare me a bit. New car just sitting for over 2 almost 3 years. They are already 3 model years old and resale value will be destroyed by now. I'm all for model year savings however that is 3 years old.

This is very true, however the ScatPacks I saw at nearly the same price don't have some of the options like sunroof and Nav. The one I saw tonight has nearly 14K off if you look at the price on their website.

www.custombilletstore.net/Hemi_Oil_Catch_Can_p/20010.htm

The only option I have in this is NAV. I dont remember the price however that the lease payment is just over $400 per month.

Thomas Bowman that's why I changed it out. Also looks much better

Troy Weaver nope I know the owner of this car :)

@@SkiLLy125 lol ok cool.

Jeff L insurance will probably be cheaper because it is considered a Family car. Call your insurance company, they can give you a quote.

i get a quote from Erie insurance on challanger 392 scat pak i have 2 cars with them at 185 a month adding the challenger will cost me 255 a month. 49 years old clean driving record
