Dodge Challenger SRT 392 RWD vs Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye RWD

The Dodge Challenger SRT 392 RWD is a muscle car that bridges the gap between the more modest Challenger R/T and the powerful Hellcat lineup. Introduced as part of the 2015 model year facelift, the SRT 392 replaced the SRT-8 and was produced until the end of the 2018 model year. It features a robust 485 horsepower provided by its 6.4-liter Hemi V-8 engine and delivers 475 lb-ft of torque—figures that resonate with those familiar with the Scat Pack. Buyers had the option of choosing between a standard six-speed manual transmission or an eight-speed automatic, appealing to different driving preferences. Furthermore, the SRT 392 offered a wide range of option packages, allowing for customization and added features. The vehicle carved a niche for itself as a performance-oriented yet approachable choice in the Challenger lineup.

The Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye RWD builds upon the foundation established by the base SRT Hellcat, with increased power and performance capabilities. While not the pinnacle of the Hellcat range, the Redeye significantly elevates performance with a potent 797 horsepower from its supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V-8 engine. This model is equipped exclusively with an eight-speed automatic transmission, simplifying the drivetrain choice for enthusiasts seeking high power without the need for manual control. The Redeye includes a 3.09:1 limited slip rear differential as part of its singular powertrain offering. Alongside these performance features, the Hellcat Redeye boasts Brembo brakes for enhanced stopping power with 15.7-inch front and 13.8-inch rear brakes, equipped with four-piston calipers to manage its tremendous speed capabilities.
