As an owner of a V6 mustang, i will not buy a muscle car without a V8 ever again. To some a v6 muscle car may be exactly what they want, but to me, there are just more fun sports cars out there with 4 cylinders or v6 motors. I truly believe these muscle cars were just meant to have the v8. For the sound and feel of it alone. The v8 just feels like freedom to me

I bought a v6 years ago. I wasnt anything close to a car guy i just wanted a cool looking car at the time. 7 years later and im a total gear head and drive a pcp scat shaker. It all started with the v6. Theyre great cars and dont deserve any of the shade they get from car guys.

Trust me, ALWAYS get the v8 so you won't be disappointed down the road. I've tried owning v6 and 4 cylinder turbo cars in the past and modified them and they still weren't as fast as most v8 cars. Just spend the extra money so you can be truly happy.

V8 all the way. The sound alone gets my vote.

I had the v6, upgraded to the rt, but soon realized I was over my head with insurance, registration fees and the price of gas. Everyone feels the economy but North of the border we're paying close 8$ a gallon. Absolutely ridiculous. I had to trade in the rt for my gt. Ain't nothing like a hemi, but ya gotta do what you gotta do. Always great content Paul.

I supercharged my V6 Challenger and it was an amazing experience. I currently own a scatpack.

When you revealed the R/T's sticker price, all I could hear is Stanley from The Office: "Boy, are you out of your mind?!"

63K is the Same price I paid for my 2019 Scat Pack widebody with the lifetime warranty! Love my scar pack & I will have it forever!

I love when people mod lower tier cars. I'm a fan of the underdog.

R/T all the way. Would not even consider the V6. Not even if it was supercharged. Great video, Racer X!

I purchased the GT because of the AWD option. Where I live it's more practical then just the RWD. I will be adding a super charger in the near future but don't think you have to, the V6 is not bad and at 80 mph its only at 2k rpm

The entire point of the Challenger/Charger/300 (LX) IS the V8. I don't care how fast you make the V6, it won't touch the feel of the V8. If I wanted a blown 6, I would go BMW all day long over any blown Chrysler V6. But I appreciate the content because many others won't feel the same way. Great work Racer X - you are the best

When i got my first "sports car" when i was 17 it was a ECO-boost Mustang. I regretted it 2 months in after learning about cars, ive now owned 5-6 scat packs and a 16' Mustang GT. ill never get a I4 or V6 in a Muscle car again. Like someone said their are better V6 and I4 cars. for example like a 370Z or a BMW.

I personally went with the GT bc I don’t race so I don’t care about a ton of HP and I deal with Canadian winters😂but I’m also a huge fan of the Challenger style and history so it was the perfect option for me. More than enough power and efficiency to cruise around in every day and still have that muscle car styling.

This is exactly what I was wondering! Thanks for the detailed breakdown of the V6 vs. RT with a supercharger. Leans me way more towards the V6 with a supercharger for the price difference alone. That ProCharger kit sounds amazing

The Procharger kit is actually $7K (you need to buy the tuner separately) and bumps you to 440hp and 450tq on 7 psi and straight pump gas. The RIPP kit runs those numbers at 10-12 PSI. I've had 2 5.7 R/T 6-speeds and on my 2nd GT. I prefer the GT because it weighs almost 400 pounds less and with the amount I drive (35K+ a year) getting 37 mpg on the highway instead of 25 or so makes a big difference. I have the same fresh air setup that T/A has and a Borla S-Type system on it, which sounds awesome! At sea level it does 0-60 in 5.7 seconds. I have a 3.70 LSD that I'll be installing in the next couple of months when I rebuild the suspension which will help that out. The only reason I'm looking at supercharging mine is to make up for the altitude I live at - 5000 feet, which hurts any NA car. Doing that will make it easily quicker than an R/T and also at least equal to an NA Scat at altitude. People hammer the Pentastar all the time, but when you drive a GT with the 4-piston Brembos and HD suspension, you see what a great driver these cars can be.

Great video X, definitely a nice comparison for those interested in getting into the Mopar muscle car world . I think driving a Challenger has a fun feeling no matter what but more power the more smiles per gallon .

Great video RacerX! With the potential the 5.7 has to make more power I still think the R/T is the way to go.

I love the b5 with the full satin and side stripes. The grill also looks more aggressive. I think the V8 is totallt worth it just based on appearance alone

I had an rt thing was a beast with just an intake headers and a tune a supercharger would make the rt pretty crazy i was going to do that but then i found my dream spec hellcat for 60k last October there was no passing that up. Great video man.

I always been fascinated with the potential of the v6

Wife went from an SXT with Awd, to an RT 6.4, insurance went up by....wait for it.....nine dollars. Yup just 9 bucks. Biggest downfall of the 6.4, TRACTION! Basically, the stock goodyear eagle RS-a tires are about as grippy as a linoleum floor thats just been mopped. I can cruise at 35mph and smash my flipper down on the go pedal and lose the backend like its nothing. Waiting for warmer weather to see if the grip increases but i dont hold alot of hope truthfully.

Love my Last Call ‘23 Charger R/T, with barely over 1200 miles on it now. Damn sure didn’t buy it new for $62k!!(Thats just INSANE for an R/T😑) I’m still getting used to her and that lovely sounding Hemi. I’ve never driven the V6 GT but I hear they’re no slouch for a 6-bag. Whatever works for ya! 🏁

I’ve never been this early on a video🔥.. gotta stick with my last call R/T though

I have to tell you there’s a lot of good deals on those right now! I wish I could buy one. I just have no interest.. Hellcat or no go baby! Although I’m starting to see dealers discount, the remaining hellcats big-time! Cool upload brother🤘 Hope all is going well

Great video 👍🏼, Would a pro charger be a good idea ? Or other options? For 2023 RT/TA PlusPackage , Racerx 👍🏼

Great video! You got a new sub and like. I don't have a dodge but I do have the Pentastar in my Jeep and am researching for possible forced induction in the future.

I love love love the SXT/GT platform but nothing beats the 8 cylinder symphony of the Hemi.

@10:55 The LS1 F body’s were underrated by GM. They made closer to 330hp-345hp and ran mid to low 13’s. Also they made about 80 more ftlbs of torque than that V6, and the F body is about 600lbs lighter! Stock for stock performance wise they’re just as fast as the RT trim..

I helped my buddy install a RIP supercharger in a weekend on his 2015 Rubicon with a 3.0 liter straight six. It was pretty straight forward didn't need any specialized automotive tools. I believe the only thing that didn't come with it was new spark plugs but it did list the heat range for the replacement plugs. It is a monster at the Jeep Jamboree lots of fun!

I have an SXT it’s my daily driver. Was thinking of getting a v8 but with the gas mileage and insurance difference it’s a no brainer.

Good video, you made the V6 look good. Good info too.

We have a 2023 Dodge Charger RT Scat Pack Widebody with the 392 Hemi V8 in it with 485 HP and 475 Ibs of Torque and man its a freakn beast and gotta love that Hemi V8 sound as well.

I enjoy an engine that attracts my senses. I would drive a V8 even if it was slower than a modified V6.

Id honestly opt for the v6 charger. 300+ hp is already plenty of power to start with, and mpgs and car insurance makes a moderate to big difference in your personal budget. Maintenance costs are also a moderate factor, would you rather change 7 qts. of oil and 16 sparkplugs or 5 qts. of oil and 6 plugs?

RacerX, How do you think the awd twin turbo straight 6 new Charger coming out will be? Will it be highly modifiable?? How about the heavier vehicle weight with AWD? I'm just curious to what you think, RacerX. Thank you

ALL WHEEL DRIVE is the killer app for the V6. That's why I'm saving up for a V6 and a supercharger. Living where there's snow and rain a few months out of the year, I'm done with two wheel drive.

@RacerX, I looked up that TA RT. It's got the handling package and performance group. I'm in the market and was wondering what you thought of the handling on that RT vs a Scatpak? I know SP is faster, but would like to know your thoughts on the handling specifically. TIA!

Another great video! I don't know why Dodge don't hire you to fly around the country and make video's at the different dealerships. They might actually start selling more cars!

I owned an SXT challenger for years until I was able to afford a charger scat pack widebody. I absolutely love the car but now that I’ve gotten a taste of the V8 power, and drove it during the winter in Utah, I’m thinking of upgrading to a TRX soon. Can’t beat the power of the hellcat in such a capable truck.

At what point do you have to beef up the transmission and drive shaft?

So I’ve had my 21 RT Challenger and it has given me no problems whatsoever. A couple flats here and there, but a reliable daily, taken this thing to Vegas, TJ, long drives/trips. Oil changes have been done consistently and it’s about time to get new tires! Happy with my car, would love to see more reviews on these RT Hemis/5.7 Liters, probably just my luck idk !

We once did an SST twin turbo kit on a 5.7 Challenger R/T. The regular 5.7 and the V6 do not have forged pistons. SST said to not put anything over 6 PSI of boost on the 5.7. We had the car on the dyno and it was making right around 450 at the wheels with just under 6 PSI. The dyno operator asked us if we would like to go higher than that, and as soon as the car went over 6 PSI on a pull it backfired and started missing. We found parts of the pistons and rings behind the mufflers. Moral of the story, If you really want to go fast be carful with the lower performance HEMI cars and V6 cars, the pistons are know to be made out of butter. Even the 6.4 has cast pistons...

Just here for fun lol. I enjoy the videos

I used to have a Charger SXT plus i thought about supercharging it but i end up trading it for Challenger r/t plus and im definitely gonna supercharge it and tbh i really love that v8 power and torque there’s nothing like it, i definitely recommend the v8 over the v6.

The awd v6 with this kit would be nice.

Will you recommend to get Sprintex or VT racing supercharger for V6? Thank you!!!!! I am thinking about it for a month already. Trying to make my v6 sounds like baby hellcat.

I bought v6 challenger and previous owner put a twin turbo in sounds pretty dope tbh..

Had a 2018 charger RT and then got another in2021. Very tough decision between the 5.7 and 6.4. Prices were about the same as the 6.4s were typically lower spec than many 5.7s. Went with another 5.7 and no regrets. The 5.7 takes to mods much better than the 6.4 if I ever feel the need. Neither is a 1/4 mile monster but both comfortable and fun on the street, especially when well optioned.

Both the wife and I want a Scat Pack Widebody. But the insurance is what’s holding us back. I refuse to pay over $200 a month just to add that to my policy. So we found a way around it…. Kinda. We already own a 2021 Ram 5.7 1500….. insurance only cost me $100.86 a month, yet it has the same 5.7 hemi. No E torque, so I’m gonna lower it and put a Whipple on it. Sure it’s not a challenger, but it’s still a hemi that’s fun to drive. Plus I’m more of a truck guy anyways. I’ll be able to run under the insurance radar too! It’s a win win, like an insurance loophole! 🤪 I just want something fun to drive honestly. Plus I don’t have to worry about my truck getting stolen vs the statistics on a challenger. Food for thought.

I have a 2015 charger my first ticket was over $1500 just would like to know were are you guys running these cars with all this power ok

Im happy with my v6, its exactly what i want and suits my current situation perfectly. If i ever get anything different, it'll be a lotus esprit

If I buy a challenger its for the rumble! I had a mustang with A 6 it was pretty quick but no growl

I’m trying to pick between a mustang 5.0 GT or a dodge r/t or a scat pack. Can you a video on that? It looks like the mustang gt is as much HP as a scat pack but the same price as an rt

For me ive always been fine with v6 and v8 motors. But there's no way in fuck I'm getting a "muscle car" with an i4 fart cannon engine in it. The mustang ecoboost sounded like a prius when I drove it.

Got to factor in the GT AWD vrs the RT RWD

I'd like to actually see a heads up race between them after the v6 upgrade

I've owned both.. Both great cars... went from a V6 to V8, and yeah, more potential, but it depends on what you're looking for..

Challengers are not selling and dealer have way too many of them on their lots. Wait until August or later and you should be able to buy the V6 or RT for 30% under sticker and dealer will be happy to sell at that price.

Watching people in these comments argue about V8s and V6s gets me every time. 😂😂😂

63k is crazy, glad I got my last call 5.7 for what I did

I am good with my Scatpack. I would never supercharge the V6. But it’s a nice option to show.

I definitely will be getting one soon.

With the v6 you can also have awd. Big plus for da Uppers.

I love my 5.7 it’s just different. It’s no where compared to some of the top notch V8’s but it’s just what I need for now. I’m sure most of us has had a V6 at least once lol I can’t hate

How soon before someone does a hurricane swap?

Back when Scatpacks were affordable (2015 - 2019) and Dodge offered good lease deals on them, they were actually the best-selling trim for the Charger and Challenger! That all changed when Stellantis took over and went from $45k-$55k $400 per month Scatpack leases up to $65k-$75k $800 per month Scatpack leases

Racer x you are crazy if you think a v6 305 horsepower car is faster than an old fbody. Those cars were low 13s stock also dyno’d at like 290 wheel. They weigh a lot less than a challenger or charger. I love your content but don’t spew lies for your little ad video.

🏆Racer X🏆very cool 🍀episode 😎✌️

TBH I'm more interested in which model is easiest to modify. I'm looking for max HP more power type thing.

Owned a 2023 SXT, traded for a 2023 RT Plus 4 months later. Best decision ever!

Do they have kits for the Durango?

how about cam and tune the Hemi for a 500hp build?🎉

Im thinking an AWD GT that is supercharged would definitely be a sleeper build

I remember listening to Scud in blade II talking aboult Blade's car having 300hp. lol

What about good 5.7 upgrades?

I bought a new V6 Challenger back in February. Fell in love with the car while driving a loaner version of it. Unfortunately, I didn't anticipate that after purchasing a V6, I would dive into the world of cars and develop an undeniable craving for that V8 sound and rumble. I literally have dreams about it. I couldn't care less about speed. The 303 hp in the V6 is enough to give me some thrills, but it's too quiet. Now I just need to find a way to trade up to the 5.7 with as minimal damage as possible to my finances 😅

If I wanted to drive a charger year round I would get the GT awd v6 is hard to beat when the snow flies

I bought an SXT V6 Challenger mainly because of the all wheel drive for winter driving around here. I do have a Mustang GT with a V8 and obviously the Mustang is faster, but honestly the V6 Challenger is no slouch when you compare it to other typical cars on the road, and it sure LOOKS a lot better than most of what is on the road. It's still fun to drive, too. The "sport mode" does wake it up a bit. Also... it gets much better gas mileage than the Mustang. Of course, there is the Ecoboost Mustang that would even do better on mileage with similar power, but it's not all wheel drive.

Do superchargers void the warranty?

Do these kits void the warranty?

Also, Livernois Motorsports has a tune for the Pentastar that gains 25 PEAK hp, but more importantly 45hp in the mid range. And that's on a dead stock engine.

60k for an rt is ridiculous I just bought my 2022 Rt for 32k out the door 21k miles, I had a v6 Chrysler 300s when I first drove it I thought it was fast and I loved it but honestly once I drove the v8 you can definitely feel the difference in speed and torque. People sleep on the rt but it looks amazing and sounds awesome and it's faster than people give it credit for

Wait till warranty is up before doing any mods to engine and make sure it won’t hurt smogging especially in CALIFORNIA 😅

I would never get a muscle car and opt for a v6 doesn't make sense to me. However if you want to do a v6 build more power to ya. Everyone has a dream of what they want to build.

A v6 superchargers the gas change a lot?

@racer x. Can i put a 309 lsd on the v6??

Racerx what is your thoughts on turbo charger vs supercharger the challenger?

I have a GT and I’d much rather get the 5.7 hemi and build that. There’s just way more aftermarket support for hemis as opposed to the pentastar and once you throw that supercharger on the 5.7… we’ll we know how that story ends lol

I would get the GT trim with AWD and add the supercharger. As an owner of a 2016 Chrysler 200C AWD with the 3.6, a Challenger or Charger is the way to go for me.

I do not give a hoot about sound. I have a racing snowmobile for that lol. V6 in Canada is the way but lack of tuners in Toronto Ontario

I'd get the GT. Supercharged V6 with AWD, what a combo.

V8 for the win like Dwade in the 4th

Brother I know I harp on stuff in your comments but man my heart just breaks for you, 170 issues and a job loss back to back. I'd let you drag race my 'cat if I could. I know it's not a 170 but man, I just can't imagine being without your SRT after working so hard for it. Please keep us updated on your baby.

I put a ripp on my v6 and was ecstatic about the performance afterwards

I prefer my 2022 rt charger any day vs my older 22 gt charger. the torque is night & day difference

I have a V6 Durango and a R/T Stroker Challenger, and each are fun in their own right. But both I got for under 25K. I would never submit to pay anything over 35K for an R/T with all of these markups. In these times, built is definitely better than bought. Boost is coming in the near future!

I had a content idea for you. You know how people are always asking "What should I buy?" and that likely led to this video? You should do a longform, specific financial review of different models. Like quite literally say "Okay if your budget is X, your options are Y and Z" and literally go over everything from downpayment to monthly payment and what you get for that money in each trim. I think a lot of people see THIS specific video and think "Well I can only afford a V6 and not afford to supercharge it, plus I want to keep my warranty" and it *might* not grab their attention as much. I really see a TON of potential in your work and I listen to a lot of your thoughts on why certain videos flop or don't, and I just can't shake this feeling that MASS appeal is right around the corner for you with more hands-on lifestyle content around these cars.

What kind of cai is on the silver challenger. I got the same one on a 2020 charger..i need the right recharge kit

The issue I see with the v6 vs v8. The 7.5 and 6.4 share drivetrain, so the R/T has the ability to hold at least scat pack levels of hp/tq without giving up on longevity and reliability. I am not sure what the drivetrain for the v6 is rated for, but I imagen it wont hold as much as the v8 models.
