I got my license in 1976, and although it was the beginning of the end for muscle cars, a 16 year old kid is not buying a new car. I actually got a ‘71 Road runner with the six pack because it was cheaper than a lower spec power plant because of the oil crisis. What a fantastic car to start out on! If I didn’t have the car bug before then, I did after Of course growing up in Detroit I had the bug already. Mopar in Motown, great memories and a great time to be alive. Anyway my bright yellow 2017 Daytona 392 is the modern version of that car. Don’t know if I could enjoy a 71 the way I did before, you can’t go home again. A restomod 71 with a hellcat engine and modern suspension, hell yes, but that’s a lot of money there. As always enjoyed your video, take care and keep em coming!

I’ve been a dodge fan all my life and I didn’t know what SXT stood for. Thanks for that tid bit 👍

Love your Passion for Dodge. I owned a 1969 Charger SE. Numbers Matching with the build sheet. Vinyl Delete, Pinion Snubber, Colmun Shifter, and Buddy Seat. I have a Gen 7 now. Keep up the great work. Thanks X.

I remember 375 hp for the 440.

Pretty cool facts! Thanks for sharing them with us! 👍. It’s a shame that the dealership parking lot is empty! Keep the videos coming! Be well

Great video RacerX. I love my Charger!

Good stuff . I had a 2006 R/T and currently have a 2019 Stars n Stripes edition R/T.

Really enjoyed the history lesson. Having owned 2 Scat Packs and with my 3rd on the way I always assumed (incorrectly) it came from the super bee. Very interesting. Great job buddy.

Man my Redeye Charger finally came in today. Took almost 4 months.

Great content as always!!

Great content as usual! The '68 sure was a badass car 💪at that time. This was also the era when 4 drum brakes was standard on all car so trying to stop those missiles was more a project that often didn't ended well 😅

Excellent history lesson, it's great to pay tribute to our current love for these great cars! Almost makes me wish I was old enough to drive back then..

Got my 2020 Charger Hellcat in November of 2020 for 70K. Love my car, it's not a trailer queen. Drive it every chance I get, puts a smile on everyone's face especially when they hear the supercharger whine. Gotta Love it. Great history lesson 👏 👏 Thanks Racer X 👏👏

During the 80's the Shelby GLHS Charger was both pretty fast for the era and a good looking car. The car you showed was a clapped out base model. Love the new ones as have a couple but those 2.2 Turbo Dodges of the 80's were so cool too.

Some cool info on the dodges👍 keep up the great work man

*MOPAR* ❤️ Good content needed this man.

Great content as always. Good to be one of the 20% subscribed haha

Love all your content on mopars. I got my brother following you now cause of the Mustang. Keep up the great videos! Sorry about you and the X.

Thanks for the video. I have always loved the Charger as I grew up. I had the 2018 Scat Pack and now have the 2021 Scat Pack. After seeing the rat pack reference, I feel like I gotta get this thing to Vegas!

Cool little history lesson, but having owned a 66 in the early 70s I remember all of it, especially the smog motored cars of the 80s. Sad times indeed for muscle car enthusiasts. Keep up the fantastic work!!! Mopar or no car, no disrespect for your Mustang

I love these types of videos

USA muscle

Love the content. Lets go

Great coverage on the Charger! My personal favorite is the 1968 R/T!

Some good facts and good history behind the chargers, really good job job on the Mopar history.

Thanks for the video homie 💯

Love that Plum Crazy!

Great video bro

Love my charger!!! Amazing vehicle

Awesome video. Love my 2018 charger scat pack, but wish I had purchased the Daytona package.

I love my 2019 Scat Pack in the Wild Plum paint job. It’s amazing and feels like a monster on the road

Great content I didn’t know, I have a 2019 charger scat pack and eventually I’m going to look into getting a 1968 charger to go next to my newer one,thanx recent X be safe 🙏

Loving seeing the Mopar content again.

The sole reason why I got my 19 challenger rt was because I wanted something reminiscent of the 68 charger with the body style 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Loving my 2021 Scat Pac Charger. Fun daily driver!

Didn’t the 426 have 425 hp? I believe the 440 had 375 hp.

Excellent video! Not a mopar guy but if I was going to buy one, it would be the charger. Like most people I admire the power that these cars put out.

thanks for the MOPAR content

I would like more videos like this!

Got my 2018 Daytona 392 last year in September, and just ordered myself a 22 Charger Hellcat last week 🤘🏽

Great history... What are good MODS.. For 2021 scat pack charger without breaking warranty?

Awesome cars for sure.

Cool

Love the charger, I’m on my second one

Love my Fbo 2014 RWD Charger Max. Header orange. 426whp...definitely running with the Skat paks, but unlike the Skats, mine in NOT a bare bones RT ...

Can you do this type of video with the challenger please 🙏🏻

Why couldn’t prices for cars stay the same 😂 imagine buying a hellcat for 5 grand

I was always a Challenger kind of guy, but honestly, the Charger looks good to my eyes now. Wasn't always like that, but it seems the more I see a car, the more open-minded I get. It's a cool car

Didn't the 426 hemi have 425hp. The 440 was 375 or 390 with six pack.

The 426 Hemi was with 425 HP. The 440 was not a Hemi with up to 390 HP.

Is this the dealership you used for your recent order? Do you recommend a certain sales person?

I have that same GT. Racer X what’s ur IG? I wasn’t to ask about upgrade you can recommend

Even though I’m not a “fan” of them, I do think they are slept on in terms of their lore 🤣.

Still waiting to see your new super stock challenger when it gets delivered,😁 but right now who really needs a super stock with the tuning packages Dodge just announced for the red eye!!! It’s a great time we’re living car wise!!!

So you have standard, then standard + or in those days called "standard xtra, then rt 🤔

66 and 67 Chargers had a fold down rear seat and could carry 4x8 sheets of plywood. The Charger 500 was built to try to get over the aerodynamic flaws of the regular Charger for NASCAR. The flush grill and flush mounted rear window helped but it is the Daytona that overcame those problems. The FWD Chargers of the 80's was a trim level of the Dodge Omni. Shelby even built a version.

can you do videos or the jeep grand cherokee?

I currently own a 2018 SRT 392, 1 only 8 White Knuckle in all of Canada. Next to my Pontiac G8, this has got to be the best 4 door performance sedan I've ever owned. I'm never selling

Ehhh that F8 GREEN - i love that color :D

The 440 had either 375 or 390 hp based on carburetion trim. Nice summary. I’m a bit worried about the future since the the current car (and Challenger) ride on underpinnings derived from the MB W210 series cars going back to 2006 and the end of the Daimler Chrysler effort.

Racerx hinting us on a possible hellcat redeye charger he's getting 👀

Mopars muscle in the 80s was turbo charged Daytona & Laser which flopped before the Viper project which was aimed to take out the Vette. Glad Mopar got it together thanks to Daimler & Ralph Gilles

Here in Saudi Arabia Chargers are EVERYWHERE in my home street there's 7 Chargers From Sxts to Scatpack. For my self I just got GT 21 Rwd. I was born and raised with GM cars now Im 25 and the only option for an american sedan is the charger. Im glad that I bought it fun and good on gas

Check out Dodge's announcement of the "Never Lift" program. They will be offering performance upgrades like products, tunes, and stage kits from the factory, installed by dealerships, keeping your factory warranty. Some kits will give 100hp gains. Love Mopar!

I live like 30 minutes from Atlanta, all the kids have chargers, not sure how they afford them but they are played out here

I had a 69 with 383, 71 with 318, 76 with the 360 and a 79 Magnum 360 4bbl before getting the 05 SRT8 that now as 320K miles on it. Guess I will break down and get a Redeye next year and a Scat Pack for my son. My all time favorite car.

RX; In the famous car chase in "Bullitt" with Steve McQueen in the 390 Mustang chasing the 69 Charger, Bill Hickman in the 440 Charger had to keep slowing down to let the Mustang catch back up. ;

Many people haven't heard about 1999 Dodge Charger R/T concept car. Which was 2-doors sedan, exterior wise was like a mix of Viper (front end) and '11-'14 Charger. It didn't go to production, officially - not to take the customers from Viper. If I understand correctly, the Charger, officially, through the Chrysler / FCA / Stellantis not exported to nowhere and sold only in US, Canada and Mexico (through the independent dealers - yes, people probably can import it to their countries).

Cmon racerX how you talk about 80’s muscle cars and give no love to the iconic Grand National..

Interesting that they didn't offer the 340 cu in. engine back in the day?

I'm a Mopar guy 100%,and I own a Challenger. However, the one thing I can't get past with the modern-day Chargers is the fact that Dodge changed it to a sedan!The original body style looks nothing like the original Charger.It's basically a family muscle car.😂 On the other hand, the Dodge Challenger is a modern-looking version of the original body style from the 70's. And in my opinion, it's the last true muscle car in existence in terms of having a mean and aggressive look as a coupe to go along with the American Muscle.

Do you all think pricing on a regular hellcat will improve in 2022 or 2023? My gut instinct tells me to wait for 2023 due to the craze over the EV release which may have Stellantis reduce pricing on the standard hellcat line up. Your thoughts??

Those 80’s chargers were not cool at all, the charger aka”general lee” totally the best charger model years 68-70😎

BRO LOVE YOUR SHOW. BUT HOW DO U DO A RECAP OF THE CHARGER AND FAIL TO MENTION THE GENERAL LEE. THE MOST ICONIC CHARGER OF ALL???

I thought I remembered they rated HP differently than they do today?

Correction Racer X it was the 426 Hemi that made the 425 horse the 440 six pack made around 385hp and those were gross horsepower specs from the flywheel

Anyone else think its odd the '84 Charger was in the handicap parking place? Kinda appropriate I think.

Like the Saying Goes MOPAR or NO CAR

Im not gonna lie, the new charger looks like a Dodge Dart Gt on steroids

Power was rated different in 1967 than it is today....

Much better looking 84 charger model out There In 84 with 140 HP you were King.

I thought the “SE” was the based model….

Say ...can you order a Charger with a stick shift standard 6 speed trans in any trim?

SE SXT RT 6.4 then hellcats

Had a 1978 Charger, what a POS. Kind of soured me on Mopar. Thankfully they pulled their heads out. Like the new ones.

Most any Mopar guy knows that there was never a 440 engine rated at 425 horses. That was the 426 Hemi. You should probably study up and know your Mopars.

SE = Standard Edition, SXT = Standard Extended

Yes the 440 had 375hp The 440 A12 had 390hp The 426 hemi had 425hp They might have rated them low for insurance purposes

First gen Charger introduced the name. Classic 68-70 Charger earned the name. 74 and up, only in name. Charger 024, lame, embarrassing to the name, 4 door Charger, not the same.

The 1980's Charger's were a big POS!!

1st

Bought a 21 R/T since no scat packs were available. Now I'm trying to decide if I'm going to get a scat pack in a few years or wait for the EV Charger.

Don't forget about the Plymouth version of the Scat Pack - the "Rapid Transit System..." And yes, the 80's Mitsubishi Dodge Chargers & Challengers were ugly junk.

Not a fan of chargers. I’m more of a challenger guy.

You didn't mention .... it's ugly

Go back to dodge it looks meaner

Chargers aren't real muscle cars. Challengers are.

You’re just covering MOPAR because you know almost no one cares about your underwhelming Ford that you abandoned your subscription base over.

I had an ‘86 Plymouth Turismo. It was identical to the Charger at the time. No I didn’t think it was cool. But it got me to work and back. 😎👍
