This was a ton of fun.. what did you guys think about this matchup?

Not all heroes wear capes. 😜 2:25 - Roll race against a Scat Pack 8:24 - Roll race 1 against an R/T 9:24 - Roll race 2 against an R/T 10:18 - Roll race 3 against an R/T 12:13 - Final roll race against an R/T 13:06 - Conclusion

This is why I enjoy all car brands. They all have their flaws & strengths but if they put a smile on your face, you’ll never loose! Awesome video!

I have a 2019 Charger Daytona 5.7 that I daily drive...love it! I'm a 60 year old that grew up admiring muscle cars.....I don't race...I just like the V8 sound and occasional full throttle accel. Perfect ride for me. :-)

Sweet video, i love the 5.7s, fast enough for a regular driver, practical and still a v8 💪🏽

As a WRX owner, I have thought about this matchup a ton of different times. Fun, sedans that are about the same price, and have pretty enjoyable performance. Went WRX because of Michigan winters + stick, but there is nothing like the sound of a hemi! Great vid 👍

Im not a Dodge guy but found your channel while researching the different performance/trim levels of Chargers and Challengers. You produce some really quality, good, and informative videos. You definitely should have more than 39,000 subs. Keep up the good work.

What this shows me is just how much faster a Scat Pack is compared to an RT. Shocking.

Considering the charger is basically like a titanic on wheels it did great

It's always more fun with evenly matched cars, and your face shows it lol. Great video, as usual!

Great Video!! The cars seemed evenly matched. Would have been interesting to see a dig race to see how they compare when they launch!! The AWD should give the WRX STI an advantage. That Hellcat ride really opened his eyes for sure!!

Great video as usual!!! Love the Mortal Kombat sound effects made the video that much better!!! 😄

Getting real tired of seeing subies made for raw straight line power when the purpose of the car was never straight line performance, rather amazing balance with good power

Without watching the video my guess would be sti of the line and charger catching up and winning at the top end. From a roll I will also go with the charger. Thank you for the content stay safe

Finally a video of cars that are stock. It's so annoying to see match ups when one is tuned or something, and a video with no bias is great.

Watched the stream yesterday I'm excited for this video

It’s cool to see you branch out from your roots. Now you have the best of both worlds: muscle and tuner. As a fellow STi owner, I’d like to get a muscle car for a second car like a mustang GT at some point. Wait until you get the STi modded; it’s like night and day. Down pipe, cat back, and protune yielded me 313whp 358wtq. Accounting for the 20% drivetrain loss in hp, it’s about 375/429 at the crank. If you throw in an intake, fuel pump, injectors, turbo inlet pipe and some other bolt ons, like headers etc you can wring out another 20-40+ hp easy. Then the STi is probably giving the scat pack a nice challenge. What’s funny about the WRX/STi is that people know neither is very “fast”, stock, but by the same token they know nobody typically leaves them that way, so then people always want to try you on the road to see if your STi has balls or not.

X why you do that to him? Now he gonna feel inadequate in his 5.7 after the ride in the Cat lol

Wow those was some really close races I didn't expect them to be so evenly matched. I was expecting the 5.7 to win due to it being a roll race and the STI from a dig like I said on the live. Good job turning him into the dark side. Love his reaction when y'all was in your hellcat.

I have a 2020 R/T Daytona. Ive given plenty of subarus a run for their money. Mopar for life.

As a previous owner of the sti I could kinda see this coming. In tight twisties and on ramps and stuff the sti is a hoot. However once you get to highway speed it seems to run out of steam. I remember someone saying the average modern SUV will eventually catch and pass an STI on the highway. It's really not a straight line car without some serious mods. I never modded mine. Trading mine in was a horrible mistake...I miss it more than any other vehicle I have ever owned.

RacerX, love the vides:-) I will admit that I'm a Mustang guy (have a 2019 GT 10-Speed) but I love your content and passion for cars! I have a lot of STI's in my area so it was nice to see a real-world comparison. Love both your cars. Keep up the great work.

We have the same STI. Silver with low profile spoiler. Most fun car I've ever owned.

Nice video but man the bonus part made me laugh so hard, the change of the look of your face when you drive hellcat compared to Subaru is priceless!

You don't need tons of horsepower to have fun driving and fun is what matters.

The STi is a whole new animal once you add bolt ons and have them tuned.

I love both cars Definitely 2 cars I’d like to have in my garage

That big engine always gonna beat the small 2.5 boxster

Had a 09 Challenger R/T with the 5.7 and a 6 speed with the Hurst pistol grip shifter. Great car. Got a 15 SRT 392 now with 8 speed automatic. (Hit a deer at 80 in the 09). The 392 for being naturally aspirated is a MONSTER. The 09 was more like the old school Challenger kind of rough but still cool. The 392 is more like a Supercar. Hellcat and Demon are the real deal in affordable supercars. Love your stuff. Keep up the good work and stay safe .

Blast of a vid..... interesting to see the mechanics of both whips.....open shut case for whoever gets quicker off the roll....tons of fun!

That was a great video, i traded a 2019 sti sport for a 2018 charger daytona r/t 5.7L and i love my charger

I don't know how my GT Challenger would stack up vs the STi... I think I would get a side of gap sauce hahaha and have a great time. Awesome video!!!

Make me want to take my RT out tonight and find some STI's to beat up on.🤣🤣🤣🤣

I have owned in recent times a 2016 Scat Pack Charger, loved that car, and 2016 Mustang GT. I have driven many many vehicles. I can without question say if driving fast in real life, real life, I don't think anything will touch that STI. It doesn't have that flat out go power, but you can everything in that car fast. The visibility is just perfect. You are looking down on the road, it is truly a wonderful car to drive. I am actually waiting for the new model, but I do think it will be my next fun car.

Raced many in my r/t. They usually get the jump but the torque of the r/t reels them in every time.

Still no replacement for displacement road course sti straight. There's a reason why sti is not in drag racing

Bonus footage was Hilarious! in Kevin Hart's voice "Noooo... He wasn't ready...!"

Cool comparison but the sti isn't one trick straight line pony like the dodge. Put the dodge on a track with lots of tight turns, a rally course, or even wet roads and we'll see where the dodge ends up.

You should try to race a stinger gt

Gotta try brake boosting a turbo car in roll races. I’d look up some videos of how to do it. There’s so much potential in the sti to be learned and unlocked

I found Subaru wrx/sti a really stiff unfriendly car for a daily, and ended up going with Audi s4 which has been the best of both worlds. With just a flash tune, mine makes 435hp, and rides smooth as butter while still launching to 60 in about 4.0 seconds. My previous car was a 05' mustang I modded the living shit out of (20k not counting supercharger kit) and had a huge hp difference. Rear wheel are a whole different beast than AWD though, as you probably know well based on your collection. Run races from the dig (benefit AWD w/ launch control), and also from 30 and then from 50 which is advantage to hp and rolling start. That way you see each car in its most beneficial environment. I bet if I still had the mustang and drove both I would beat it to 60 nearly every time with the S4 because of ease of using launch control with an auto, instead of no launch on a manual. Even though my best times on mustang 0-60 were mid 3's and s4 are low 4's to high 3s, i pulled sub 4.0 launches on mustang much less frequently. Tbh, heat soak seemed only reason i ended up over 4.0 sec in all my test runs using s4. Launch control is just so easy compared to "peddling" a car with too much hp for the average street. That said, after 60 I would catch and pass the S4, and by the end of a 1/4 mile.,, Stang ran high 10's and S4 runs high 11.

Should had a couple runs at lower speeds for that Sti! Break boosting would had helped a lot!

This was awesome, I've had WRX STI owners try to say my Scat Pack is slower. LMAO

I have a RT Charger. It's fun, but nowhere near fast. That car should at least be just above 400hp . Shit, the 57 in the Ram makes 395 . I think that Dodge purposely made the RT Charger slower in order to make the gap much broader between it and the Scatpack. I'm definitely trading mine in a few months..

Hey Racer X, my one son who's about your age and I were talking cars, he's into BMWs and Hondas, me I'm into Corvettes, and my 392 Challenger, we both ride dirt bikes also. Anyway, he's telling me how his friends and him call Subaru's, Lesbarus. That cracked me up! I just wanted to warn you for you don't let your pretty wife out by herself in your Subaru.

The fact that a 4 cylinder can hang with a V8 is impressive people seem to overlook that.

I'd really enjoy seeing you get some mods on the Sti. Proper tune, new full exhaust, headers etc. and the Sti is really going to come alive. Eliminate that down low out of the hole lag. Also, put these two cars on some windier roads and then you can really see where the Sti excels.

The STI is almost 1000 lbs lighter.. If anyone won it’s the R/T... more spacious, comfortable and good mpg’s for a V8

I have that exact same Daytona but in f8 green

I think the 5.7 will win Everytime when in right gear

Been waiting since the stream lol good video man

lol i was waiting for a loud engine rev up once you started going but I didnt hear a thing hahahahaha so funny

I like my tired r/t. Awd. Took it south. Nobody down here has ever seen one so modding it and doing work have been hard af xD

Not me of course, but someone I know in an rt just reels in wrx’s sti or not. From a stop of course the wrx takes the jump but gets reeled in pretty quickly. Honestly a 290hp maxima hung tight with a few wrx’s simply because of the cvt. The maxima pulled 290hp the entire time while the manual wrx would pull then drop on the shift, repeat 6 times. The cvt is nasty for racing. Full power the entire time. Love them , don’t care what anyone says.

Man he walked you on that 3rd run as the say in the racing circles no replacement for displacement

I learned a long time ago to never underestimate the little guy. I used to get my butt handed to me by SRT4s. By the way, if you ever want some real AWD fun, find some snow( I know, it’s hard to come by in Texas) It’s a blast though.

I love my 2019 rt she moves it’s my first v8 I went full upgrades on the interior with a MMD and sounds amazing

Good comparison. I think we owe all turbo 4 cars a software flash though. It has the "protect the warranty claim", "Sandra might put low tier 87 octane in it" tune on it now. Give it a quality 91/93 flash and rematch.

Really was surprised. The R/T is a solid V8

Now let's compare it on a snowy road or on loose ground. 😂

i think the manual lost it for you, but great video and great comparison!

The new model of Impreza Wrx\Sti are so heavy, so it's a very even match

I'm sorry at 5.53 did you say that the sti has a Porsche engine???! That's not stock bro

Should have had the STI in lower gear 3rd gear at 45-50 mph, would have jumped that hemi, I believe Sti strongest gear is 2nd to 3rd

Man your awesome 👍🏿. I see your a Mortal Kombat fan as well. Respect ✊🏿.

That’s crazy I remember my brother would walk sti’s with his 2018 5.7 Daytona he had a yellow jacket he topped out at 154mph

I have a ‘17 STI limited, i don’t drag race people but i do enjoy hitting the two lane freeway on ramp at 45 when most cars can only go safely 25. You have two very different cars so now you know when its raining out which car stays home.

I think you need to take the STI off road or in the snow to really have fun with it, where the car has it's roots. Drag racing a stock STI vs muscle cars isn't a fair comparison. Great vid nonetheless!

I have a stage 2 wrx it is slightly faster than a sti but barely, I beat 5.7 hemis all the time by like a lot, I’ve even had some good run ins with some modified ones as well but I still come out on top, I’ve only ever lost once but it was against a modified and tuned one when I was stock, but good content keep it up.

Damn close despite the significant disparity in engine types. Think it was that close due to his rookie status? Also the 5.7s are the cop packages right?

WOW! I always see kids on the RT trying to race my STI but I just can’t do street racing crap is scary dangerous. Now that I watched this I am happy I did not waste my time. Sitting at 401whp the Scat Pack would be a an actual competitor.

It takes a lot of money to make a WRX as fast as any V8 muscle car over 400 horsepower. But they truly are two different vehicles. The WRX is a lot of fun in corners.

I get that some people like to drive in a straight line for only a quarter mile on dry roads...But I laughed my ass off thinking of a Charger trying to catch up to my STi on a snowy mountain road...🤣

Being that the 5.7 is still known as a "truck motor", if he focuses on improving the mid range and getting some better tires, that RT will roll as hard as any other sports car on the street without sacrificing its ability as a daily.

Honestly on the highway the rt reels the sti in every time. I’ve seen not driven of course, but always the rt comes up on the sti and have to hit the brake. It’s not a blow out by any means, but it does feel it in every time.

Always good videos! 👍🏾👏🏾

I have my 2019 wrx im at 470hp on it... these cars are insanely fun once u add some modifications to them... haven't had the chance to race a skat pack yet

I'm 29. And itll be hard to believe I came from the hot rod scene. Like my first car was my Dads old 69 Chevelle. But I've turned to Subie life! Best bang for your money is a AIG Stage 2 closed deck ej205 with forged internals on E85. I had a 2016 WRX STI and brought it back 4 days later and got my money back. Spend 5k on a blown 2002-08 WRX/STI and drop 20k into her. I have an 03 that's Cobb stage 3 pushing 600whp. The only time a Hellcat has beat me is from an 80 roll because they have a higher top speed. But on a track I'm in and out of corners so fast hellcats are no longer in my rearview. Even from a dig my 0-60 3.60 seconds. I love charger's but without a power adder like a turbo or supercharger they don't just cut it enough for me.

Ok bro it is way past time for you to start upgrading and showing the Subi some love haha.

I plan on getting a 2015-2016 Subaru WRX Premium or Limited sometime next year

Super close match up 👍 if he ends up modding it would be interesting to see how things play out, if you flash a tune too.

Man I got to practice on my 2018 charger RT after this video

My legacy GT dusted my friends R/T 3 times, all I had done to it at that time was straight pipes with a resonator delete lolol

It is pretty much known that when it comes to racing from a Dig/stop, the AWD kills (Up to a certain extent). Now when it comes to highway, or roll racing, Displacement always gets the win. Especially when that high displacement has to only travel to one axle.

Would love to see a video showing how to roll race and drag it’d be pretty fun. Still trying to get comfortable with my 2019 charger scatpack. But all your content is alway super helpful

Now that you’ve done straight line racing, let’s compare them on a rally track 😛

Awesome video! I live in DFW area as well and got a WRX. We should test out speed difference for WRX vs STI since there is a significant difference on performance.

Y’all should run them from a dig, that would be an awesome video!

The 5.7 was never meant to be a performance engine, and was made for trucks to begin with. The LX platform is just too heavy for that motor, and really never should have put it in a muscle car. I'm not taking away from it's quality and know that it's a workhorse, but I'm just pointing out a fact and is the way that it is

Yeah man it's good to see someone local in fort Worth doing a car KZfaq, I've raced you wife in the grey scat pack before way in Mexico by a "life church" They have 😂 & I've raced a lot of cars around here, when it comes auto to manual, with equal power the auto has such a delay when they slam the throttle the most even race you'll ever have is if they drive it in manual mode to be honest great video man!

I miss my 2008 SRT8 charger Superbee. Counting the days till I pick up something else. I've wanted a scat pack for a while but the 5.7 Charger/Challenger has been interesting me lately. Almost same power ratings as my 6.1 I owned, which was more than enough for me anyways. I just loved the sound and punch that car had on acceleration. With the active exhaust now on the 5.7 I think it's a fun package now.

Sti is quick. I used to have a boosted 86 which I left exterior stock. Besides tires of course. Use to get a lot of thumbs ups from v8s on friendly rolls.

I really liked him seeing how happy he was riding.

Great runs! I have to say I'm glad the Hemi pulled out in front. Very close though. That turbo whine is cool!

Now you need to take it around a track same cars, i have a 19 5.7 charger with all the track add ons, and my brother had a 16 sti and drove my charger and said its smooth, tight, and can hold at speeds around corners the same as the sti

maybe i'm wrong, but as far as i know, porsche high performance models, also use naturally aspirated engines. boxer models are not high performance, just to give that porche vibe on a more affordable model.

I love my Mopars and Subarus great video

Used to have an older WRX 8yrs ago and they're fun cars but I just got tired of shifting gears in city traffic. The Charger Daytona is a gas guzzler but a more practical family car.

Nice seeing 2 car scenes getting along.

Cool video and I like the cul-de-sac street. I have a 05 STI, Twin-Turbo Inline 6, and Supercharged V8 variants in my vehicles and each one is a blast in it's own right. 4-6-8 performance! Though from a dig in STI is where it really shines. 0-60 for the earlier model STIs were 4.5 seconds, and that's with having to shift to 3rd gear...
