Does a Challenger belong on a race track? (First track experience)
In this video I take my Dodge Challenger R/T to a road course track for the first time! A huge shout out to Track Junkies at Radtorque Raceway for a great experience!
A couple things to keep in mind, I do have suspension mods done to my car, including Hotchkis front and rear sway bars, Eibach Pro Series lowering springs, and great tires among other mods. While this doesn't represent how a stock R/T would do at a track, swaybars, springs and tires are pretty simple mods that can be done relatively inexpensively to drastically improve your Challenger's handling characteristics.

How to Maintain Your Challenger/Charger/300.
That Scat Pack must have a little Hell Cat in her landing on her tires!!! I've been running around the tracks in Forza Motorsports lately so I can identify with this LOL. 😎😎 Nice get away!!
This was a good one to listen to you talk about how much fun it would be to take it to the road course track, and you finally got to on your last video!!! I know it is hard to leave it tucked away for months at a time, but you can see the benefit to it. I'm in Florida and I hate it during the Summer rainy season when I can't drive my R/T because of the daily rain right in the afternoons and evenings when I have time to drive. I'm taking off on Friday so I can take an extended trip and hopefully little to no rain for a few hours. 😁😁
If you replace the stock internals with forged, lightweight parts, port out the heads, put some stickers & a fart-can on it, you'll break land speed records!
My Ram has the 3.6L V6. Got it at the end of May last year at 98k and now I got 118k on it. For a naturally aspirated V6, it's got plenty of power and I like the gas mileage. I did just recently put on LT285/70r17s on them but I got 17.5mpg hand calculated which is better than I thought.
This is one of the worst engines nothing but problems, misfires lifter issues, check engine light is always on these turds
Air chisel!!
It's fun going back in time watching the channel from the start. I just got on board this year when I was looking into getting a Challenger. I got a lightly used 2023 R/T with 8k miles but don't know if I will be waiting 10 years like you did to throw a cam and headers in. I have a great 10yr 100k mi bumper to bumper and figured I'd wait for a while in case of electronics issues.
@@BBDragon66 appreciate you sticking with the channel! 🙏🏻 Hard to believe it’s been over 100 videos at this point. Sounds like you’ve got a nice ride! One of the cool aspects of modifying your car after having it for a while is you get so used to how it’s driving stock that the extra power you make seems even more crazy to you after you change things.
Is it better than the Chevy gm 3.6 that’s in the Camaro?
Low end no top end yes!! N they are lighter. An im a mopar guy I have a Durango RT love it best family SUV for a muscle car guy
Whats the torque specs on thoughs allen head bolts on the axles?
A Challenger isn't going to be the absolute greatest at road course work, but that doesn't mean you can't have a hell of a fun experience! Take the first and second session to kinda learn the track if it's your first time, and then once you've kinda got a feel for it, you'll be having the time of your life. I could tell during your second session you had the realization that early apex works against you, and you started to correct it. Personally I really liked experiencing several different instructors throughout my first few events. It really gives a wider variety of info to build upon, and I liked that. One of the best parts for me, besides the driving itself, was making some new car guy buddies.
@@xtnuser5338 you’re absolutely right! It was a blast!
If you want to stay n/a get a camaro, if you want boost get a mustang, and if you want a hemi get a hellcat
Did you have to use the short stubby flex wrenches? Or the standard size? Thanks man.
The Chrysler Pentastar Engine has been Crippled from inception with the same poison pill that bugged the Ford Flat Head v-8 engine, Excessive exhaust heat into the engine, putting unnecessary heat burden on the cooling system, in the case of the Pentastar, the reason was lower start up emissions from quicker engine warm up....At ALL other times that localized hot area IN The Head distorts the engine and marginalizes the cooling system....Then, compromise the oiling system with an oil pressure reducing solenoid failure along with a near water viscosity oil and.........It's a five year engine at best...IMHO...;^)
Mustangs don’t make less torque because of DOHC. It’s literally is the smaller Displacement. For example Toyota and Nissan truck V8’s both make peak torque sooner than their 5.7 Hemi and 5.3 GM pushrod competitors. Sam car legion is also awful at driving Mustangs.
Great Content, not only fun, but very educational, and work on skills. I think that would be a great Racing Course with my Challenger Scat Pack, though I have the TF 8 Speed. Track Mode! lol
This is awesome! I just bought a 22' RT 6 speed and want to take it to a road track. I am located in Central Texas and haven't researched a location for a track yet. Keep these vids coming!
@@regul8or198 do it, you’ll have a blast!
I forgot how good that stock shift knob looks in the car. I put the Barton pistol grip that's color matched plum crazy in my 2013, while it does look and feel amazing. That stock knob just matches the rest of the interior and still looks awesome.
In my experience, driving very fast but heavy cars is a nightmare if you are surrounded by lighter and less powerful cars. Extra early braking, very slow cornering speeds and really sketchy exits. Sure, it's a rocket on straight track but it's not designed for tracks. Muscle cars are straight line only vehicles. However, if you can scrape together a muscle car race, it's very exhilarating.
@@theseventhgeneration6910 it’s definitely a different experience for sure, but honestly they do great on a track. Challengers are definitely not common out there though. I will say it’s not uncommon to see Challengers on road courses passing Miatas and WRXs consistently. Cars that are generally regarded as great track cars. You are 100% bang on though, you have to adjust braking and cornering speeds for the car you’re driving. Thanks for checking the video out! 🙏🏻
It's only a nightmare of sketchiness until you get used to it. Once you're comfortable in close quarters, and giving/receiving multiple passes, it's no big deal. Well, as long as the other drivers are ALSO comfortable and courteous. Suspension design and tire technology has come a very long way since the 1970s. While modern "muscle cars" might not be the absolute pinnacle of turning finesse, they can do well enough that it's ridiculous to call them straight-line-only anymore.
No because dodge corporation does not enter challenger or charger in competitive racing while mustang does enter gt3 class. Dodge used to enter vipers in gt3.
@@apocolypse11 I mean, sure but gt3 cars don’t resemble factory cars really at all. As far as picking up a Challenger from a dealership and being comfortable bringing your car to the track and keeping up with the pack, they do just fine. I agree though, the Challenger is definitely different from the Mustang and Camaro, and Dodge leans into it and embraces it. Makes the Challenger stand out in the segment.
Awesome video! I want to start having as much fun with my challenger as you do with yours! You really let that car wear the R/T badge with honor 🫡
UNTIL you eat spark plugs at 40K and flatten a lobe or 2 by 60K...2020 pro master 3.6.
So cool man!! looks like so much fun.
@@dylanacheson565 it was so much fun!
Such a fun experience!! I’m so glad I made it in time for a few laps 🖤

Looks like a blast man; really giving me the itch to bring mine out...
@@captainboose8788 do it, it’s so much fun!
Love this video! I plan on watching it again when I'm not getting ready for work at the same time.
@@GoodKong.BadKong 😂 🙏🏻
It seemed that 3rd gear was good for the course. I found myself gripping the chair while watching it the first time. I have not done any "Road Racing" since I was in my 20's. I was part of our University Sports Car Club and we would set up courses in the parking lots on the weekends where we would burn up our tires LOL. How did the instructors find the Challenger as you slithered through the course? I bet there weren't too many cars that had the sound yours did 😁😁
Yessir, I left it in 3rd gear for most of the course aside from late in the biggest straightaway, where I needed 4th for a second. The one chicane in turns 12-14 right before the last straightaway I could’ve shifted to 2nd coming out of it, but I was worried about upsetting the balance of the car, so I left it in 3rd and used the torque to pull me out of the end of the combination. Honestly I had lots of great reaction to my car there! The instructors I had made comments about how they were surprised how well it handled, and I had no real problem keeping up to (and at one point passing) WRXs out there and the one gentleman in the Porsche 911, although I don’t comment much on it in the video because honestly we’re all learning in this, I know we could all shave time off of our laps, but for a car that’s not supposed to be able to turn, my Challenger had no real problems keeping up with the pack especially against cars that are supposed to be great choices for track cars. Made it more fun in a way.
@@TrackPackRT Awesome track day. I enjoyed it almost as much as if I were there!!
Great video! I took mine to a road corse a long time ago and had a blast! It was a lot of fun but hard on the brakes, especially the way I drive.😂 You did great! Looks like you had a blast too! 💪
That’s awesome I didn’t know that! It was super fun! Definitely demanding on the brakes, although with the manual gearing to help slow the car probably made it a little easier on them. Having said that, I should probably change my brakes! Haha Thanks Don! 🙏🏻
Great instructional video for first timers like myself. This video has given me confidence in attempting road course racing. Nice job... Nothing like driving a manual in road course racing. Think about it... You're like a conductor for a symphony... You have to know when to accelerate proportionally, brake proportionally, when to turn in and out all the while shifting correctly. The beauty of a manual. Quarter mile racing is fun, but road racing is the next level utilizing all the tools at your disposal. Looks like you had fun. Best part was taking your lovely wife around for a few laps. Nice to have someone you love to support your 'idiosyncrasies' ...
@@bschubarg that’s a nice compliment, and I’m glad I could convince you to give it a try! Honestly it was so much fun! I often had people gathered around my car to check it out, they said they’re not used to seeing many domestics there, and especially not Challengers. I could never buy a Challenger without the manual, it really is so much more fun and engaging. On the track it can really shine, but I found I rarely shifted aside from the one straight away because 3rd gear was ideal for most of it. I could’ve shifted into 2nd into the one chicane but at the same time I was worried about upsetting the balance of the car at that point in the turn so left it in 3rd which wasn’t too bad either because of the torque I have. Even watching back now there was so much more time I could’ve cut off my lap times in places, but it was such a good experience and I learned so much! Do it, you’ll have so much fun!
Very cool! I have been able to take my Challenger to Road America in Elkhart Lake, WI. Great times! I have a few vids of my shenanigans
@@pwdrhnd23 sounds like a blast!
Nice ride brother I have a 2022 5.7 challenger with less than 10k miles. It’s cool that you’ve had your challenger RT for such a long time your videos are the reason why I chose the 5.7 in particular. How’s the car and the engine held up over the years? Is there any mechanical problems I should look for in the future and preventative maintenance?
@@premiumdiecast5674 engine is great! And car in general really, aside from stuff I break at the drag strip (snapped axles, snapped subframe diff mount) is great! Probably the only annoying thing right now with it is rev hang I get with the cam, but that’s pretty minor, and I can reset it pretty easily. Other than that the car has been great! Sounds like you got a nice ride man thanks for checking out the channel!
Hell Yeah!!! I was waiting for this!!!
@@BBDragon66 🙏🏻
Cause with all these R/T foos who don't know how to drive. It's easy to show them taillights... Driving is skill, not just slamming your foot to the floor.
It all comes down to gears …… the rear end
@@stevensilvas1986 years later I’ve raced a lot of Scatpacks and SRT 392s at the track, beat a lot of them, but I have yet to come across another manual to take the transmission variable out of the comparison. I’m still curious how it would shake down.
Are you going to add the 392 intake and try the 392 Charger again? That would be interesting. I did everything you did but I added 392 intake, 425 whp dyno tuned on dynojet dyno.(I also have a manual).magnaflow 3" hi Flo cats,srt manifolds with stock hellcat exhaust and hellcat lower airbox.I HAVNT RACED ANYONE.
@@stevesutton9200 nice work those are some great numbers! For now I’m leaving my intake stock as I have a real urge to replace it with an aftermarket one that makes a funny whining sound if you get my drift. Haha
Yes,I too want the whine soon.probably procharger since I went with the 392 intake.id like a magnuson though.
Where did you get it tuned after?
Dyno tuned with Chris at player3 performance tuning.
I have a cadillac Ats-v that have already beaten them both !🤷♂️ I J S !
Good running engine. Strong and reliable. I got 325k miles from my '07 3.6 V6 Chrys 300 Touring. Have 119k on my '18 3.6 300 Limited. Great platform. Looking fwd to several more years out of this one. 👍

I have a 2021 Warlock 3.6 ❤ it
It truly is a great engineered engine in terms of durability. I bought a 17 SXT Challenger 5 years ago, put over 65,000 miles of burnouts, 1/8 miles passesand track days, overheated it 8 times lol, and my dad is currently using it as his grocery getter after all the mistreatment. I got me a WK1 SRT8 Jeep to replace it, but the 3.6 Pentastar is one of the best and most reliable engines I’ve ever had. Especially coming from someone who at one points tried to blow it up in hopes of 392 swapping the challenger but life happens lol. Amazing video btw, very well put together.
The original 6 cyl used in the first Challenger was the 225 Slant Six, not V6 like you mentioned.
@@kevinvoyer5053 yea definitely a bad slip of the tongue there. 🤦🏼♂️
I have 23 scat pack charger, 6 piston brakes. No performance mods all stock except for catch can as far as engine. What tires do you recommend for regular street driving? I don't race on a track or race people in the streets. I do enjoy the car myself and get on throttle at times, never in eco mode mainly in sport with traction on street lol. I respect the car and I respect I'm not a professional driver, but I can handle the car when it gets sideways at times. Looking for an excellent performance all season tire balanced wet/dry handling. I don't really drive in the rain, but just in case I get caught in it. Scat pack is mainly driven on the weekends. 2020 VG charger GT is the every day driver. Thanks
I have a 2019 Pacifica with the 3.6 and have 269k miles on it with no major engine problems. Yes the oil cooler cracked and was replaced under warranty. But that it as far as the engine problems go. Yes I've had other issues like the cross under pipe and lower motor mount . Front and rear suspension plus countless brakes but it's still going strong.
