Unless you’re planning to add boost to the charger there’s no point in buying it. The K5 with a tune and bolt ons can probably get close to 400 hp, we see how quick it is with “only” 290 hp… the K5 is arguably one of the best value performers in terms of cost to speed. Also I wouldn’t get a charger to modify, I’d get a Mustang. The 5.0 is just to good when modified, and the 10 speed auto is just stupid fast…

There are many great auto review KZfaqrs, but you have surprised me. Instead of over-opinionated, insulting and, at times, downright childish reviews, you present a simple, straightforward review of automotive performance with no bullshit added. And the vehicles tend to be of the affordable type for most consumers. Don’t get me wrong, detailed reviews are necessary, but not when all it consists of is bitching about piano-black interiors, the inability to get to the grocery store in under 5 seconds and whether or not the cup holders can accommodate a five gallon jug of Pepsi. Keep it simple and great job!

I know this as a former owner of a 2014 Q50S in which I beat (barely) the RT at a drag strip. Why? Because it cannot manage 0-60 in less than 5 secs. The Stinger is actually closer to the SRT 6.4.

Im not impressed at all as I know electric motors can easily surpass gas engines, but they are boring and offer no real testosterone to the mix.

@@sharktin240 it's not just mediocre the quality is just bad. By 15k miles so much of that car was falling apart it was ridiculous. And being fwd, it would have benefited way more from an eLSD over the mech one. The DSG is good for a DCT but is still clunky and awkward in daily driving. If you do wanna tune and bolt on power it is smart to stay with the DSG tho bc the stock 6spd clutch is basically made out of glass haha. It's the same clutch that's in the 1.4t It obv is gonna handle better than the K5 and Charger tho I mean that's a given.. it's a small car. It's a Jetta lol. The wheel base is so much longer on the other 2. The K5 isn't a track attack car, it's a performance trim daily family sedan. It's not trying to be a track car lol.

From someone who used to own a 5.7 R/T (now a 6.4), very nice video. Somethings to keep in mind as well: In stock form, the 5.7 generally will fall on it's face near the 1/8 mi, often a little bit beforehand (I've lost a couple of races right at the end due to this). Also, that Daytona R/T more than likely came with the 2.62 rear end gearing as opposed to the 3.07 (open differential) that could often be found in the R/T Plus models; not saying this would make a world of difference but I have beaten a 2.62 R/T Daytona. With a manual, the differential would go to the 3.09 found in Scat Packs as well. Again, not a world of difference and I firmly believe that the results (specifically in the roll) would be the same, but some information to keep in mind.

right! my brother has a 18 chally 5/7 shaker package with super track pac. rear gear is 3.70 and it walks all over most other 5.7 challengers and chargers. I could tell this car in the video had tall ass gears. it also didnt sound like it was revving out as high as it should.

@TrackPackRT2 жыл бұрын
Well aside from the fact the Kia is 6-700 lbs lighter, and the gears in that Charger are likely the 2.62s, one thing in my experience racing my 09 Challenger R/T at the track all these years is the 5.7 specifically doesn't like heating up to operating temperature when racing. The difference between letting my car cool down or running it at full temp is usually 3 tenths of a second. The iron block plays a part of it, but it doesn't seem like the 6.4 or the LT1's in the Camaro have it as bad as the 5.7. To those harping on the 5.7 in the comments, it's a great engine, R/T's are burnout and donut machines in stock form and incredibly fun to drive! They also pick up a lot of extra HP with minor mods and tweaks so it's a fun platform to get into and work on over the years. Not taking anything away from the Kia of course, it's cool to see that not only the muscle car side of the car hobby is seeing a surge in hp numbers but the import side as well. Both cars have very different personalities but either way I'm sure everyone can agree it's a great time to be a car enthusiast!

Chrysler’s 5.7 HEMI engine deserves respect for the long list of popular cars and trucks it’s powered for nearly two decades. In my opinion, that goes to show the great success of the engine. If the 345 HEMI were a below average engine it’s unlikely Chrysler and Dodge would keep it around for so long in their flagship cars. The 5.7 Hemi was on the Ward's 10 Best Engines list for 2003 through 2007, and again in 2009...The Coyote made Ward's 10 Best Engines list for 2011, 2012, and 2018.
