A great hot rod that looks great!

If you want a modern hot rod with a factory warranty, this car is great. I considered the hellcat, but it didn't have adaptive cruise control which I've come to love. The 392 is great. I put a K&N cold air intake on and had the resonators removed and it runs great and sounds fabulous (probably annoys the neighbors when I start it up, but I'm not in CA so I guess that's OK). A true GT car that is very comfortable to take to the grocery store or long road trips. Best car I've ever had! It's been two years now. Stored in winters (I'm in MN) and still love it. Can't wait to get it out this spring.....probably May. We've had significant snow in mid April the last two years and I don't want to expose the Challenger to salt. I didn't realize this model is so rare. According to WKJeeps.com/SRT8/2018 there were only 241 black 8 speed SRT392s sold in the US. In two years, I haven't seen another one-of any color. They sold 3651Challenger hellcats in 2018.

2018 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack 2dr Coupe (6.4L 8cyl 6M)

The Challenger Scat Pack is reliable, fast, comfortable, handles well, and is fun to drive. Did I mention it's fast? The dollars per HP is hard to beat. I can't speak well enough of the Challenger R/T Scat Pack. (Yes, there are faster cars, but the Scat Pack is still crazy fast.) The Challenger is a large vehicle, but for such a large car it handles and stops very well. Compared to it's competition the Challenger is by far the most comfortable and has the best rear visibility. The back seat sits 2 adults for a road trip comfortably, and the trunk is huge. As you can see, it's very stylish. Classic but modern at the same time. I love the look of the interior, very "cock pit" like, and the electronics have little to improve on. I feel like the Edmunds person who was reviewing the car was grasping at straws when they were typing the cons for this car: - Yes, they are heavy cars, but the Scat Pack and Hellcat come track ready, the handling is not at all dull. Yes, you feel the weight in the corners but the Scat Pack Smashes around a track (that's slang for the car handles well) and the Widebodies are just that much better. - The rear visibility is not as good as most cars, but it's not terrible. It's better than the competitors and since the hood is so long the driver is positioned fairly far back and the blind spots are small. - As for their comment on not having a convertible, there are lots of 2 door cars that don't come in a convertible. A convertible Challenger is just stupid IMO. The reason Dodge doesn't make them is because they wouldn't sell that well. The only negatives I could think of are 2: - If you are not comfortable driving a large vehicle you won't like driving the Challenger (or the Charger). - Most of the Scat Packs come with 245/45x20 tires. These tires are dangerously small for so much power. I recommend you get one of the packages that upgrade you to a 275/40x20 or put on 275 tires the day you get the car (275s will fit a 9" wheel). Some would say the LX/LS platform and the HEMI are old and outdated, I say that because it's been around so long Dodge has had a lot of time to perfect it. If your looking for a classic twist on a modern muscle car, look no further.

Challenger GT

2018 Dodge Challenger GT 2dr Coupe AWD (3.6L 6cyl 8A)

Nice roomy sports coupe. I didn't want a cuv but wanted something sporty with a decent amount of room. The Mustang coupe was nice but a tad tight. The Challenger is a good balance.

2018 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack 2dr Coupe (6.4L 8cyl 6M)

Have 2462 mi on the car and it’s two months old. !!! To be honest I wanted a Ford Mustang gt350. Test drove a 2018 gt350 and it felt so compact. Power out the ass but too small for me. Test drive the challenger scat pack and it grew on me went back and bought it. From the factory plenty of power just under 400 rwhp from driveline loss. But still there. The brembo brakes are phenomenal for 4 piston calipers. Will [non-permissible content removed] when needed I’ve already done upgrades cai , looks lingtubes header and high flow catted mid pipes sent out by a borla atak series cat back. Also purchased the diablosport pcm and trinity tuner and level 2 tune from hhp. So far so good sorry went on a rant. But overall very pleased with the original purchase but I’m not one to leave things as they are.

first dodge ever owned. ford and chevys. My first real muscle car. I must say I really love this car just pain cleaning with the matte and satin finish. Runs quick but looking for more RPS, so going to add to this big motor. I like the heavy part, feels safer in it than the mustang I just sold. mine gets great gas mileage intown 18-20, But I don't drive right in the big city of Atlanta. Hate to even get close to big cities.:) looking to take to track soon and see what she will put out, then do some adjustments. I would recommend this car to anyone. This will be my last car unless I turn it into a dragstrip racer and then will get another dodge. :)
