Fast forward a year and I've watched this several times. Did test drives and verified which one makes the most sense for me. Got the R/T with the performance handling group and couldn't be happier. Last Call! Very happy!

My wife has the 5.7 in her new R/T Durango. The 5.7 really moves the big boat along. On the road it’s amazing.

They need to sell all the hemi cars with at least 275's instead of 245's. Just my opinion lol. Thanks for another great video.

I put wide body 305s on my rt and I can nail it to the floor with no wheel slip and ran a 4.8. It’s amazing what a wider tire will do.

I love my RT. No regrets getting it. Sounds great. moves fast enough for me and looks great. Also gas is a bit cheaper considering I don’t have to put 91

I definitely have a R/T ❤but to be honest I love scats and hell cats too. I don't judge any of them. I'm glad to be part of the charger family. Much love to all dodge charger fans. Just be safe!

Thank you for this video RacerX. Great comparison

I have to admit, I really didn't t think it would be so close. Great footage as always.

Thanks X great stuff as usual.

Thats why I put extra money into my Scatpack for the 275s. Will probably upgrade to 295s as well just to keep that power in check. Preciate the comparison!!! Awesome video!!!

Racer X hope your doing well! Thank you for providing this content it was another great video I really wanted to see. Being an owner of a WB scatpack challenger I can say the 305s definitely make a difference. Hoping to fit 315 rear soon 👍. 🇺🇸

Yea I know what you mean my Durango rt runs a 4.8 up hill in 7 inches of snow and ice and around a curve lol these Mopar are awesome. On the serious side love your conclusion between the two even though the scat pack won't hook you got to love it. Love what you do for the sport racer-x keep up the awesome content and as always be safe 👍

Keep the videos coming these are awesome

Great comparison! This was a great vid!!!

pulled a 4.7 with my rt shaker...cool morning and where I did it was pretty much right at sea level...I think the rt/tire ratio is just about right, the more power for you scat owners you need to upgrade...that why I like the rt perfect bang for the buck

You got me to subscribe with this video! Thank you!

Bravo 👏! Great points! I was out recently in my 2016 challenger hellcat with 305 Indy 500s outback on wider replica rims. In Eco mode with day-to-day traffic the car actually takes off very well because the tires are not getting overpowered.🤔

Really interesting. Thank you for this video. Goes to show you that there's so much more to maximize speed than just HP and torque.

Great comparison with using the same width tire, good video RX

Thank you. Very fun content.

Awesome runs!

FrankieD R/T out of Germany here brother, this is why I’m happy with my R/T plus! Same results!!! Love your content. Thanks for being MOPAR even though you went dark side with a FORD.🤨

Having owned both, the RT has a much more easier learning curve and less room for driver error. It's sad the Scatpack even came with the same 245's as the RT

Great video keep up the good work

At $7 gallon, you better watch yourself lol

Really enjoyed that video! I have a 2016 Challenger RT with a 6-speed manual with the 275s on back, best time i got so far is 5.5 sec, the six-speed is not as consistent as the automatic but I think I can get at least 5.3 with more practice

Love these videos I've got an rt really wanting the scat pack I spin like crazy with the 225s that come on the 09s in 1st gear bigger tires is a must great info awsome video

Whoa… what a difference the widebody makes! I had a 2019 Hellcat Charger. All that did was leave its mark EVERYWHERE!

Recently picked up a brand new 23’ Charger R/T (Last Call). Couldn’t be happier with it. I use to be a Honda guy so this is a big step up for me 😂

Really enjoyed this one.

🤠You are representing America USA 😆Mopar land for all😎 racer X you know how to ,get R done🏆

On my RT I went with 20x11 in the back and went as big a tire as could fit. I can't remember the size and it's on blocks and covered up in the garage until the snow is gone. Made a huge difference. Completely turn off all the stability controls, and just peg it. No spin, just go.

Great video bro

Good video and good comparison. First thing I did other than mid muffler delete was better tires.

Ah RacerX I adore your videos man! I own the 6.4 Scat Challenger and it is Torquie as hell. The best I've gotten 0-60 is 4.2 on a backroad. I am about to upgrade to 275s and more if you believe it's best. She ran 11.7 at the drag the other day.

The tires definitely made the difference. And well said with 245's not belonging on the scat. Used to own an R/T and was still fun to drive. That blue color looked good.

Love your videos! Just bought a 2022 Challenger Scat Pack. Retired Disabled Army Vet living in Humble, TX. About to turn 65 in April. I truly love my car. I would love to come visit and meet with you. Want to do some cosmetic additions to my car (paint brake calipers red, tint windows, and do highlights inside). Will eventually add three 275/40R20s all around.

Best 0-60 with stock 275 Pirelli AS’s was 4.0 on my 2020 Stock ScatPack Challenger, 91 Octane, in like 100 degree temps (Super Warm tires), 3.8 with Nitto 275 DRs, 3.6 with 305 Mickey DRs, launching at 1500 RPMs in Custom mode. 245s are basically a joke for the 6.4 Hemi, but Stellantis would rather you tear up the tires than Drivetrain I suspect.

Another great vid! Love your tests and appreciate how you feature attainable cars and daily driver specs as well. Thanks!

I have a 5.7 R/T. I put it in sport mode and put traction in regular mode then I put launch control at 1500 RPM. With this I ran a 4.7 0-60 and. 13.0 1/4 mile. It was 35 degrees outside.

Always enjoy your comparison videos, exactly what you said 245's should not be on the scat pack, to much motor for those really small tires. Really great buddy, thanks.

I have a 2016 Dodge Charger Pursuit with the v8 and AWD when it it runs constant 4.8 0-60. I have a video of it on my profile, the traction makes a insane difference. I’ve been toe to toe with scat packs up to 65ishmph for that reason

I could of gotten a charger at least a RT Plus I decided to wait a year or two to finally get one, the reason was gas prices and I’m about to finish with college and I didn’t want to take on a bigger loan so I went with a Malibu which is great for gas and is helping me build credit I plan on giving it to my younger brother till I buy myself a charger, I would get a RT Plus or even bite the bullet and get a scatpack. Great video comparing both trim levels!

I've had both, a 2018 challenger rt 5.7 and currently a 2021 challenger 6.4 scat pack. The best 0-60 i had for the 5.7L with stock 245 eagle rs1 tires was 5.1s. So far my best in the scat pack has been 4.5s with oem offered 275 pirelli pzero tires of the dynamics package. So far that is, on just a few tries on dusty Arizona back roads where off the line traction has been an issue for sure. Have not tried any prepped surfaces yet.

Wow didn’t expect to see them get the same time, racer x can launch these cars good 👍

My 08 350 does 0-60 in 5. Cars are definitely getting slower. Love the content been following you for a couple of weeks.

What are your thoughts on staggered tires? I have 2021 Scat Challenger, Dynamics. Grew up in the 70’s I want my car to be old school. Thoughts on 305’s on the back?

had both, so right about the torque

i have a 2021 daytona charger 392. upgraded to 305 tires and managed to pull of a 4.2 second 0-60. very satisfied with those results

Those 245's just don't cut it on the SCAT. I'd argue that the 245's on the 5.7 isn't that great either. Great comparison!!

In my 20 Sinamon Charger Scat best was 4.3 on the stock 245 Goodyears. I've since changed to 275 Michelin AS4's but have not tried to beat the previous time. Once it warms up I might.

Ok got a question here. ( I live in the North East & get snow in the winter etc ) As U are talking about this with these tires modifications Ur suggesting. Would changing all the tires to either 275-305 setup. Would that help with the traction control so Ur not losing control of your Challenger-Charger especially in different weather climates? Esp since U normally just mention to only change the back wheels to 305-310 ( with a spacer so Ur tires don't wear out on a certain spot so U have to change them more often) setups depending on car U have to reduce this spin & tail drifting out of control etc

Great vid as usual. But you should make an out of context racerx shirt that just says. “Sorry bout’ the sun.”

Woohoo! Hemi Content. Probably cost ya $500 in gas to do this, but I sure do appreciate the vid, RacerX

Been following your channel for a little while. Happy to say I finally made the switch to mopar. Sold my 2007 mustang and bought a 2012 charger srt8 superbee in stinger yellow 🐝

I’ve gotten 4.3 with my Scat. But I also have a widebody and 305s. That makes a HUGE difference for sure

I just bought a Granite 2022 RT Blacktop. I pick it up at 10 am tomorrow. I’m psyched!!!

Good info....

yeah its all about traction....performance plus handling group in my 5.7 Rt with 275s....4.5 my best time completely stock

I had the Eagle RSA on my 5.7 R/T from the dealer and now have the BFG. The BFG grabs so much better.

Honestly it’s more then tire size it’s also the differential, the scatpack has a 3.09 while the RT has the 2.62 in my observations I would say the 3.09 is the best for both cars. So what I’m trying to say here is 2.62 is great for gripping the road and less slip while the the 3.09 will get you to top speed the quickest . It’s funny that they reached the same 0-60 times

2019 5.7 shaker here in ohio. I have a 4.5 as my best 0 to 60. 275s on 20x9 wheels. Had a little luggage in the trunk and a empty covid highway at 3 am. Last year. Fractions of a second tho. I question the accuracy of my in car timer. Lol still fun tryin to best your own runs.

Hey there Gears. I'm in the valley of decisions. Do I Pro Charge my modified Jeep Wk2 5.7 or go with the 270 Comp package. Both come out to the same price. Hmmmm?

Really enjoyable video I got GT last year with hemi orange paccage and Im not regreting to buy R/T . My fastest from 0 to 60 was 5.7 !!! it has feel for muscle car but without rumble :(

Best so far is a 4.5 on 275’s 0-60. Too much torque, lights up the rear end. Maybe this summer with warmer temps I can hook up better.

?? What do You recommend for the 2022 Dodge Charger , tire sizes and what tires , what’s best for the rear and what’s best for the front . Thanks in advance

The wife has a 2021 scat pac wide body challenger. The 305s do help but we still blow the tires off. We have found the 315s do make a big difference

My 2020 scat pack Widebody with the 305’s got consistent 4.2-4.3. It had the summer tires on it not the all seasons. The 6.4 definitely needs the wider tires.

My best in my 1320 is only 4.6 with all seasons on it. I couldn't get below 5 with the stock drag radials. I don't know if it's the weight since I got it completely loaded or mostly traction? I have been just foot braking it and haven't figured out the launch control yet, but I thought it would do better.

My 2010 Chrysler 300s 5.7 the first gen body style with a 93 octane tune and transmission tune does 5.1 0 to 60. I'm running 255/45/20 in rear. And it still spins like the scat pack.

I ended up with a 2023 Charger R/T Blacktop. Shes fast enough for me, but I’d love to test drive a Scat to feel the difference. The stock R/T exhaust sounds damn good, too! Love to drive it!

245 is such an anemic tire - went up to 295 on mine with 255 fronts and it's helped a lot on traction as I have been building my Challenger out over the past few years.

I know my Challenger Scat will take a 315 rear tire, that helps pit down a bigger footprint to launch from. Good video.

I am wondering if launch control would have helped out

Best I got in my "14 Challenger RT Classic was 4.9 vs 4.8 in my "15 Scat Pack I traded it in on but the Scat Pack has a manual tranny so that can be expected, but the Scat Pack sure does suck you back in the seat compared to the R/T. Like I heard someone say before the RT will give you a big grin but the Scat Pack gives you a grin from ear to ear!!!! LOL!!

I love my r/t. Perfect daily driver and quick from the dig. All I did was the pedal box, hellcat lower box/k&n filter, billet oil cc and a mmd/5" tips. An absolute blast to drive and LOUD. Louder than my friends hell cat which is crazy right? Great video btw!

i've done 4.9 with my 2017 R/T with really worn 245s. just got 275s but haven't fully put them to the test yet

We have 2017 r/t Daytona, run hell cat wheels from American muscle and gmax rs 245/45 and she is a beast !! Shits and gets when my wife allows me to drive her car!! Lol, I have a tricked out 16 street glide, cams intake exhaust programmer so that's my toy

i got a better value going with the RT plus, gas consumption is a big difference in the two cars, thanks great video.

No offense but it’s all about the driver but I do appreciate what you do so thank you

I have a 2021 Charger RT Daytona. It comes with a cold air intake and different wheels. I’ve run 0-60 many times on the street - my best was a 5.2.

Not to surprising dodge understates the rt power, and overstates the scat packs so they can convince more people to pay for that extra trim model. My challenger puts out 395-400 horspower consistently, my buddy's scat puts out 470-475, so the difference in power is closer to 65-70 horspower. That extra torque is noticeable with some larger tires but in the end its not really enough to justify the increase in cost for most people. Plus, the 5.7 hemi has a special place in my heart for being around for so long.

This blows my mind! I thought I was missing out on 0 to 60 times since buying my RT. I constantly get 5.2 to 5.3. Now you are telling me I'm matching a scat pack 0-60???!!! So much power doesn't matter when you can't get grip. WOW.

So should i get a rt or a scatty? I have the money for it but cannot make a clear decision yet cuz of the price gape. I have saw guys with the rt making 4.6 tho🤔

Yeah man I agree, you need wide tires. My 392 WB challenger will do 0-60 in 4.1s

Biggest reason I got my rt was the price tag. My car was cheaper than scats with less options. My car isn’t fully optioned out, but there were scats with less options, and arguably not as nice, that were 10,000 dollars more expensive.

Luckily for me, best 0-60 times is the last thing I'd buy and drive a scat pack for, but I'd still do it a bit !! Also, putting sticky, low profile tires do help a lot for 0-60 and all around driving :):) Funny, people claiming 3.1 in the winter...LOL🙂🙂

This is pretty cool Video I own a 12 mustang 3.7 fbo With a stall 355 gears ( Go ahead laugh yes a built v6 car weighs 3400lbs with me in it). On street I can pretty consistent hit 4.5 -60mph with 255s nittos , I have raced so many dodge charger and challengers red light to red light and at the track. I have my ass handed to me by any scat pack After about 50-60 mph on a track , My only chance is to get someone who cant drive who spins on a redlight to red-light run. Where The RT I can walk. Im not bragging im not stirring up brand wars. I think the video was pretty much dead on to my experience racing both on the street. Rt and Scat pack about the same to 60mph on a street but after the 60mph the scat pack pulls so much harder, I have seen numerous All motor Scat packs at a track take on supercharged RT and hold there own.

I’ve got my RT down to a 4.9 (as ideal conditions as could be. 70 degree weather, good pavement etc). That was with 245s. Now that I have 275s, I want to see if traction will help or if the added weight hurt me.

There's a big difference between the narrow tired Scatpack and the Widebody. I know. I had a narrow tired Challenger now a widebody. No comparison. Not just the tires but the ride as well.

I had a challenger scat pack with nothing but stalk wheels 245s and I would easily run 4.0 and my best ever was a 3.9 ran 11.27 quarter miles and would barley loose to hellcats and before anyone asks it only had a k and 𝘕 cold air intake and a full straight pipe resonator/cat/mid deleted ran extremely rich. I would run it in custom controls and put everything to track except traction I would change that to street(seemed to decrease time)Maybe could have been a factory jewel as well on top of it all but it was a joy to drive and hell of a lot of fun to destroy 5.0s daily. Now I drive a 5.7L Chrysler 300c but soon will get another scat only this time wide body hope it is as fast as my last one…. Lol prolly not.

got 335's on my viper, love the look

I put 305s on the rear of my scatpack challenger. On hellcat wheels, they fit underneath. Huge difference in traction.

Also. What was the DA? Temp and humidity on the runs. Couldnt have been terrible if you got a 5.2 in an RT.

I had 2020 scat and ran consistent 4.1 -0 to 60 with 245’s they would spin but I modulated throttle and soon as I gained traction I laid on it but not to the floor it’s faster if you don’t go all the way to the floor, then it’s not overcompensating

Nice. For the next one, I'd be really interested to see a Charger or Challenger vs the Durango with the same engines as well. Similar power, but 4wd traction vs lighter weight.

I love my RT wondering if I should get the 2022 orange edition scat pack

I have a 2021 RT Shaker Premium 5.7 L, most successful engine, regular gasoline, super low insurance and it match up with a Scat at 5.2- now tell me what will be a logical selection as gas prices are going through roof ?

This went exactly as I expected. I had a couple races with my RT next to a SP on the streets (no traffic around) and both guys were surprised and kept asking me what I did to my car and I was still running the shitty 245s. Of course after 60 they both left my ass terribly as that's when that 115 hp bump disrespectfully leaves the 5.7 😂. I'm curious to see what my 275s do on the clock but unfortunately its raining this weekend so I'll wait n see.

surprised you didn't use the on board launch control for more consistent runs. i completely agree with your assessment. both cars are limited by the 245 tires. - I get a 3.2 second 0-60 with bicycle tires, in the snow, uphill, at idle..... yep. i said it. i hope you got a chuckle. :)
