I have an SRT and I salute this man, why? Because he’s happy with what he has!! That’s the important part‼️ Good on ya👍🏾
The v8 is still better but I really like the sound of the 3.6 v6
@@md_randoms2429 you'll get one once your older
@@TALYJIMMY I hope so!
@@van.deaux.1694 I’m talking bout when there stock and just sound when there stock not modded
I got a v6 and I’m about to drive it off a cliff
Lol I’ve never seen so many grown men worried about how another man spends his money 😂
That’s how the car community is hostile ASF and most of them don’t even have a V8 let alone a V6
True it's mostly those kids who play forza 😂
I worked with a car guy. He was a 12 year old
In a 30 year olds body.
Said men are not secure with themselves enough to let him do what he wants, i guess.😂
@@HoweDoYouDo1999 I doubt security has anything to do with it!
I’ve got a 16 Challenger 5.7 but that’s what i could afford..i never rag on anyone..if it puts a smile on your face that’s all that matters
I could afford a 5.7 too but bought the six you have like 40 more horses then me stock for stock lmao but good luck with your hemi and that little dig at the 6 guys..."what I could afford"😂🤣🤣
Weird flex
I have a 15 dodge charger v6 with carbon fiber sniper hood, aftermarket air intake, flowmaster exhaust, 20 inch matt black wheels from carid, tinted windows, z23 carbon ceramic break kit, after market headlights with aftermarket hid lights, green halo on my fogs, carbon fiber front splitter, and 2 (12 inch subs) than can beat any stock beats by dre system, and its ecu programmed to shift quicker and gain more hp from the mods i've done. But i could have saved thousands just buying a stock rt... :)
I drive a turbo Supra, I have run into none turbo Supras on the road and ended up cruising around with them and ended befriending one of those guys.
I stay humble and appreciate builds no matter what it is.
respect
I don't get why theres so much hate on the v6 (SXT), and always seems to be the R/T guys talking the most shit. Living and working in LA/OC I feel like I see the SXT owners ripping their car down the freeway more than the R/Ts. Even being a v6 those things can get up and move. This build is sick, every man to his own. Respect to all MOPAR!
R/T guys, especially stock, should not be talking smack at all. My 05 GT vs a R/T (any year) is a drivers race, and that IMHO is a major shortcoming on the 5.7's. Admittedly they do look better though!
In the end you can have your favorites, I surely have. But you won't be catching me talking smack about someones ride. That's just not done. Respect the build.
Hey whatever you gotta do to compete! But stock V6....no sir. We're talking about the last true muscle car left, leave the SXT for your mom reliving her childhood lol
Thank you for accurately proving my point. Not everyone is so insecure with their manhood ;)
I love my sxt
@@RucaMad Typical response from someone who couldn't afford the V8.
0 to 60 in less than 5 seconds. For a V6 in such a heavy vehicle, supercharged or not, pretty goddamn impressive. Don't V-HATE.
Ohhh i see what you did there!
Not even a dodge guy this shit nice tho
my new motto
🤣🤣🤣
His insurance is still cheap haters
Big Tye - Insurance company gets him for the red paint job, lol.
Mista Butterworth an that's not much had a red charger rt before
So true!!! I want this done to my SXT
LMFAO kia stinger will destroy this v6
Dude great point lol.
Always love people who will forge their own path instead of just taking the easy route and buying the fastest car on the lot.
Just made me love my v6 even more.
Personally I prefer a v8, but I've got nothing but love for this v6. Great looking car and built the way he wanted. That's what cars are about!
You get it!
Wow! SRT numbers without the higher car payment, insurance costs and fuel consumption of the V8. No Brainer,The only thing you'll sacrifice is the V8 rumble.
Yup... Although that V8 rumble is part of the magic I have come to expect from cars like this though!
The Dutch Texan just do custom offset headers for the rumble like the flat plane mustangs did
For real..that is what a lot of people fail to realize. Even with the ripp which running about 6 grand...you still saving a shit load of money with the SXT than the SRT
gayest thing ever is people explaining why they bought the V6 muscle car you bought it because you were money dependent couldn't afford to be a because people that can afford the V8 and insurance would never opted out for a V6 for fuel mileage facts
Factor in that the sxt will have no resale value. In 10 yrs srt vs sxt with same low mileage the sxt will go for under 10k while the srt will stick in the 20s
People bashing the V6 dont know that the first Hemi V8 in the Challenger had less horsepower than the pentastar
ThatOneGuy that’s because the first one came out 68 fucking years ago
@@synyster6.426 😂...
@ThatOneGuy
Sorry but ur wrong lol. The 1st "hemi" in the challenger had way more than 305 hp lol.
If ur talking about the 60's challenger it would have had the 426 ci hemi first rated(underrated) at 425 hp.
If ur talking about the challeger in the 2000's...the "Semi hemi" that powered that car was a 345 ci that had 340 hp.
You're thinking of the 354 Hemi which was Dodge/Chrysler's first OHV engine. They skipped the wedge design and went straight to the Hemi lol. Still, those Hemis didn't have shit for a cam. We just got done porting our 354 (bored to 6.0L) Hemi. Put a bigger cam in it with racing valve springs, headers, intake, and FiTech Fuel injection. It'll do a little over 400whp I'm sure. Still need to dyno it lol.
@@synyster6.426the pentecastor is pretty much a carbon copy of the ford 5.0 engine which is even older that that original hemi
Thanks for the review I bought a 2016 Charger Rallye edition it really is amazing the technology they put into the pentastar engine
Don’t know why people hate on V6’s, everyone’s gotta start somewhere. My First car was a 2010 Dodge Charger 2.7L V6 (yikes I know)
That’s my car now and I’m 17 but hey I still love it 😂
teflon kj I just got the resonators deleted and a new muffler put on it, it sounds so much better, But yea I love my car too tbh
Markie same here man, I got this sick edition on my v6. Muffler and resonator removed but I’m getting a flowmaster 10 on it soon.
I’m thinking about doing it now did you feel a difference in the car also ?
teflon kj performance wise? No, startup and cruise sound wise Yes!
I’m a new driver and got a v6 challenger as a gift. I can’t complain. It kinda frustrates me when people bash on the v6.
You got to have a thick skin, that’s for sure! I would have loved to have one as my first car! Timeless style!
Whoever gave it you must of been sick of getting bullied
Ive driven both 6 and 8 before. Went to drive my buddy’s stock RT and man the rumble made it sound menacing. Much more so than my modded SXT
🙄 I have a custom painted Plum Crazy '16 V6 Challenger and I love this. The amount of hate is crazy. My friend owns a performance shop and has an '06 Mustang GT that smokes Lamborghinis, Hellcats, etc. He's the one who put me on to Ripp Superchargers because of me having a V6. People love to hate on it but don't realize that the 3.6 Pentastar has been around forever and is used in so many things that it can be reliably modded (Chrysler 300, Charger, Wrangler, Challenger, etc). Especially in the Charger and Challenger because of them having the Torqueflite transmission which is actually borrowed from the BMW 7 Series' ZF transmission and can handle 500 horsepower reliably. To get 400 + horsepower to the wheels is pretty impressive for one mod and tuning. The only thing you are messing with is your warranty, but if we're throwing a supercharger on our cars, we obviously don't care. Nice video man 👌
His car is even crazier now. After this was shot it ended up at SEMA representing RIPP which was awesome. Please check 86face here on RUclips if you want to know where the car is at now!
Excellent review. That’s an incredible v6.
This is bad ass😮💨 you got me excited to ripp supercharge mine soon!
Thanks for sharing. I'm adding the vortech to my 2018 v6 this month and can only imagine the ear-to-ear grin that I'll be sporting at each stoplight. :D
My pleasure! Make sure to check 86face out on RUclips. He's the owner of this beast!
And I know you'll have fun turning those grins upside down when a V6 beats or keeps up with those V8's!
Literally love the sound
I have the r/t but why hate on the v6 they still one of the American muscle mopar family I say GET SOME!!!
I bought mine brand new in 2013 for 19k out the door. 6 years later I just put this supercharger on mine and it's a blast!
Drew dude i just got a 2019 brand new for 19k v6 blacktop package. The sales were insane last few months. Im thinking im going to put the supercharger on as soon as the warranty is up
John Lance which is exactly why i jumped on it lol if i decide to add the ripp in the future i still save money compared to 28600
John Lance im betting it will come again end of this year when they make room for the next years model
Wait for September/November and you'll get a better deal... Dealerships aren't doing too well atm but around that time they get the new models and will have no choice but to sell them cheap to clear room for the new ones
@@mattnagatni where do yo live?
That thing sounds like a spaceship. Great work dude that’s a sick build
what a cool build. Props to owner doing something out of the ordinary
Agreed, I think it's cool as heck. I felt very fortunate to have been able to drive it. And at moment of writing this comment it's the number one video which is pretty crazy!
If I seen that hellcat hood and heard the sound of it driving past I would be so confused
Not the only one for sure! This car breaks your mind!
I did quite a bit of research about the Pentastar V6 when it was in development and all indications it would be about bulletproof while making great power and good mileage. I'm glad this turned out to be the fact and not just hype.
Around here a Challenger is a speeding ticket magnet. I would probably get a Chrysler 300 with the Pentastar v6. You can get the same RIPP kit for those.
Yup! He’s making more power now on the same engine. It’s amazing!
Nice review. It nice to see someone finally do a real test drive review. You should do a full walk-around of this car too. That would be cool.
That is unfortunately now how I conduct my car reviews. That’s more a saabkyle thing I think!
I have a gt V6 blacktop .
And I love it.
Sure I could get the v8 , but as a daily driver it has all the kick I need .
It's just so fun .
This would be amazing in the AWD V6 package with this supercharger!
i have the awd sxt charger and will be getting a RIPP supercharger in a year. i can't wait!
It is slower and less reliable. It is because of the front gearing. Yes the first millisecond will be faster but rwd will easily overtake the awd. I cant wait to see a new awd system in the future possible though.
@@Sak-zo1ui Some people live in snowy areas.... and AWD is still better than RWD in terms of daily driving.
Shaia Farber that is fine. I was discussing putting a supercharger or some form of boost. It will destroy the gearing in the front.
@@Sak-zo1ui can you elaborate please?
Bro much much respect to the owner... This V6 challenger is "tough" and well put togther 💪🏾 😉😉. If you're happy with your car that's all that matters.😎
Preach!
I'm ordering my ripp tomorrow for my 2014 challenger,,,I'm excited,,,can't wait
Nice!!! I just removed the mid mufflers and rear resonators off my 2016 Challneger SXT Plus and put in a couple Borla 40351 mid mufflers and my challenger sounds waaaaaay better. Sounds like it looks now. I also have a 2006 Charger RT / Hemi and yes the Hemi is faster and louder...but not by that much. A super charger on my SXT would bring it right close to my RT. Looking forward to installing my Mopar cold air intake on my SXT Plus next week. Looks like I might have to get the Super Charger installed now. Sounds great!
Mad props from a scatpack owner. Think this car sounds amazing too. Almost like an old Mercedes Komoressor with american testes lol.
I was trying to figure the sound out! Yep, sounds like one of the old Superchargered Mercedes
I grew up learning to drive on a v6 mustang and I remember thinking “this aint shit” hell I’ve had more fun driving a Toyota Tundra. My parents had to rent a challenger for the weekend and when I floored it that torque completely blew me away, I swear I thought I’d never consider daily driving a v6 till I drove a challenger.
I love the retro look Challenger of course I loved the 70s models too. I also like the retro Camaro.
Very cool car. There is a charm In building up to what you love
100%, respect the build. If we all wanted the same thing the car community would have been a boring place!
I've been saving money for a nice challenger.... You are making me think more about aftermarket add ons now. A sleeper v6... Cool.
Idk the benefits I see the V6 is lighter. I see carbon hood. Also the brakes are good and tires. It’s dope I like it. The challenger as we know it’s heavy and the mpg is a bonus.
Yup, try that in a scat pack... But, a big thing for me is the sound. The Challenger has really been a favorite of mine, but if I were to get one it would have to be a 6.4 powered one with a 6 speed manual. Scat Pack Shaker is my favorite in the lineup right now. Still waiting on that RUclips fame and fortune to make that happen (kidding, been doing this for a while and it's a great hobby because I get to hang with car people and sometimes review a car too!).
The Dutch Texan u can get the shaker in the 5.7 hemi. I have a charger with the 5.7, trust me it puts out the power. It's fun and reliable. Cant ask for more.
I know! Review of a 5.7 Shaker 6 MT will be uploaded September! It’s just as fast as my mustang though... And I want MOAR POWER!
The Dutch Texan 392 it is then..
6.4 is a great balance to the challenger.
You said #1 in retro styling as a fj cruiser drives by. I died laughing .loved the video man
That was not scripted! LOL!
I have myself an 2012 challenger sxt and man do i love that car
There's a big reason for a boosted V6: MPG. The V8's 13 MPG city rating is too painful for my wallet.
For those "If you wanted to save fuel, get a Camry" pedestrian warriors: There are people who like the Vanishing Point shape BUT are not willing to stop at the gas station every 200 miles.
Very well said man. Not to sound like a jerk, but I could easily afford a 40k scatpack...with that being said i STILL decided to go with a 2019 Challenger GT. I just couldn't imagine 11 miles to the gallon. I can spend 4,000 and make my v6 just as fast.
I get 26 in my rt on the highway and i can get 20 in the city. It is how you drive it. Also the reason you get the so called 30 mpg is because you straining the engine. It is waiting for the boost to engage. Boost allows you to run a low profile cam and low compression and let the boost compensate. Here the engine is barely running unless its in boost. Lean is mean and kills machines.
I’ve had both the v6 and v8 versions and actually it doesn’t save that much gas either way. Just depends how you drive really. Gas mileage isn’t even a good argument because like I said my v6 was shit on gas too.
Just got my 2018 Dodge Challenger sxt . Waiting for the ripp super chargers to come out for the 2018 model . But team spankin time is charging me 5k for the supercharger. I bought my sxt v6 for 29$ at the dealer and putting 5k under the hood . They told me I’ll be pushing over 400 hp . Which are numbers kind of what the srt is pushing . Only difference is the srt is 50k and I’m supercharging my v6 that will keep up with an srt for just 5k . And my gas mileage won’t be as bad as an srt . So this guy has a point . Your challengers badass btw keep up the good videos !!!
Where are you getting that price from? The ripp super charger i was looking at was 7,000

You wouldn’t keep up and even if you did when your engine blows your screwed when the srt guy engine blows he’s getting it replaced by mopar
Fernando Felix my 2018 scat pack cost me 30k bud... you got screwed
This is the perfect setup for the pentastar v6. Maybe one day I will add it to my 300! 😊
Awesome video. I’ve been thinking of supercharging my Chrysler 300 as soon as all warranties expire.
You’ll be creating some haters right there! And I am loving that! They run strong with a blower IMHO!
That supercharger whine ❤
It's definitely unique and something unexpected on startup!
I always appreciate different, keep smashing on V8’s bro, let them hate you more haha.
Make sure you check out the owner 86Face here on RUclips! He's serving haters on the daily! The car is beyond what it was now, both in looks and performance.
Yeah I love how everybody hates on the penastar V6 with 305 hp but some people don’t realize that in 1970 when the Challenger came you can get the V-8 in which I believe was a 340 and that only did had 295 hp!
That's a rather nice boat you got there sir.
That is one badass V6 Challenger mate I mean 500 HP out of a Rippsupercharged V6 Challenger is really impressive.
CJ Colvin 400
Seeing that they’re doing good work with the 8 speed in these cars gives me hope for the wrangler JL superchargers. The 5 speed never could be tuned right.
How much boost can you throw at the v6? With the blower you're faster than the 5.7 and pushing the 6.4. Nice tire and wheel set up. What ya running?
When I was younger I wanted an RT but I couldn't afford it so I got an sxt,great car n very reliable,RT owners always looking down on u,but the srts owners looking down on them lol,there's always some kind of hate,but u drive what u can afford n what makes u happy
You might not have the sound but the styling is 100% there! Besides, it’s all of us against that electric stuff now…
Nothing beats the v8 sound though
Agreed 100%!
Nope nothing does. This v6 sounding like a race'd out car 😂
mandrell Rob .
Diesel sounds do it for me! Power rules!!!!, not knocking the Challenger though. Wifey has one and is bonkers about it.
grand national does! Beat a lot of v8s
jdgreen214 stop it, you going start hurting feelings
Different trims make for a very fun, diverse mopar community. If everyone had an SRT it wouldn't be nearly as much fun. Mod whatcha got. You can make any car fast. Have you seen the Hellcat Prius? Exactly.
Dig your reasoning! Everyone can have their favorites, but you sure as heck should respect anothers car!
Muscle Everything - Truthfully, the Hellcat Prius was almost entirely custom fabricated, the Prius body is just part of the gag.

I just bought an SXT and love it. I don’t know if I’ll want to part ways with it when I’m ready to upgrade. One of my friends bought the hellcat and from the moment I sat in it… I fell in love with challengers.
They are such comfortable cruisers and from 392 and up they really do go down the quarter mile well too! This one was out of left field and I still appreciate it.
Same here. I love what i've done with my V6 and I don't think I can trade it and let someone else enjoy everything I put into it. Project car. I'll just have to buy another one used when its time (if any are still around smh). Either way, I'm glad I have one.
Fantastic review! Honestly great job on this
Thanks so much for the props! I loved shooting this one, and the owner is an awesome dude.
Clean v6
Gotta say it the only reason I got an SXT was for the AWD
True what if you hellcat swap it it Goes faster than any srt
@@bsy8230 I looked into it and the reason the AWD doesn’t come with a V8 option is the transmission and rear diff can’t handle the torque so it would cost way to much to upgrade everything. At that point your better buying a used car and swapping in a 426.
@@MastaKeahi true true but someone was offering a hellcat awd and a hemi awd but dodge doesn't offer that so I don't get how they did it
My biggest question for you my fellow Texan, is what do you get mpg wise on takeoff?
I love oddballs, even if it means getting something that "makes more sense to buy" like an RT
That is probably the best sounding an best lookin v6 I have heard in my life.
Not going to agree on the sound part, but she has the looks down 100%. It went to the next level since this time though! Check out 86face on youtube and feast your eyes out. It was actually at a sema booth last year!
After watching this now I want to do it
Being linebacker size (6-6, 300 lbs) I had to get one of these if I wanted to drive my kids around! I just wish the RIPP kit was CARB EO certified.
I have a v6 2019 gt Challenger what additional modifications would be necessary if so .. definitely interested in the supercharger! Just concerned how much and what i would need to ensure the car runs fine.
0:24 I didn't see when the animation was going through, and I thought the hood was see through I was about to ask where tall get it.😂
Me too hahahah
That is genius that they put a manual shifter in an automatic
It seems to launch better when he used it
It would be better of it had paddle shifters tho
It's a shame that it doesn't
It shifts manually like my automatic bmw e46 3 series
Like a steptronic gearbox
@@sk1dzzz608 the gt model is still a v6 and has the paddle shifters and awd. Dodge really had their A-Game when they made the challenger, both times around.
@@Jimmyz96 Awd is optional too on the GT models
How did they swap the gear knob on the automatic? I’ve been trying to find a way you could be haven’t been lucky.
Anybody know where he got that shifter knob from? I'm trying to find something similar in blue for my automatic 2015 SXT.
“He pulled a Jessie”🤣🤣🤣 classic
I know the car doesn't sound as good as a V8 but personally I do like the sound. Life goals are to get a 2014 Charger or Challenger sxt and ripp supercharge it and get a pontiac G8 GT for a nice 6L V8. That's a lot of money lol
You got to wait a bit and save for a ‘15 IMHO, the interior and the tails are worth it!
The Dutch Texan A 2015 charger or challenger? That's what you mean, right?
That comment was specifically aimed at the Challenger. But the Charger’s looks went to next level too for the 2015 model year! The 2014 just doesn’t look as good.
The Dutch Texan I liked the 2011-2014 charger a lot better than the 06-10 and I also chose the 2014 cuz it's cheaper. But you're correct, the 2015+ does look a hell of a lot meaner/sharper. But unfortunately my wallet isn't big enough. Maybe they will be more affordable for me in 6 years when my current vehicle is paid off! Great vids by the way bro, keep up the good work!
I feel you on the wallet thing my man. Why do you think I roll a stock 05 Mustang GT? Eventually we'll both get there, I am sure of it. And when the time comes it will be so sweet! Classic muscle is on my wish list!
Sounds fantastic
I love watching a guy giggle when he drives! ❤️❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@TheDutchTexan I have the same car, well minus the turbo. Really thinking about getting mine done. But i think I would have to get 91 octane. And it's kinda scaring me away from the turbo.
It’s a centrifugal supercharger and yes, you will have to run higher octane. But the increase in gas price per gallon is nothing compared to the fun you will have messing with V8 owners who think it is slow.
Ya my hellcat gets 9MGP and i put 93 in it
Thats actually a good sounding V6, and that supercharger sounds amazing!
Immediately let’s you know it’s not your average rental spec v6 indeed!
RIPP products are AMAZING
They sure put some bite into this Pentastar powered Challenger!
The only rumble exhaust I won't is from a old school Mopar but a new one like this a V6 with a supercharger! That's a sleeper! Being a sleeper is just more fun 😄
I literally just bought the 2013 challenger sxt plus 3.6 v6 I got money for the supercharger would it still be reliable if I didn’t upgrade any internals
I need to supercharge my 2018 dodge challenger v6
Is it possible to supercharge a v6 ?
Funk Sevsxn I barley got my car 2 month I should take it back a get a srt
CAPTAIN TELLIS. Can you put a balora exhaust on a v6 ?
J Gonzalez that’s literally what this video was about. This challenger was a supercharged v6
That's exactly what I'm looking to do. Instead of spending the extra money in insurance and interest on the car, just drop $5,500 and that is it, well the price for getting it installed too. I can afford a hellcat, but why when I can mod my v6 and save money.
What are all the mod you’d have to get for your v6 in order for it to handle the extra power
have you figured it out yet? i wnana supercharge my challenger and i wanted to know
@@mcweeks2000 upgrade to a v8 before sinkin money that’s what I learned
Loved your unbiased review of this hard to find the honest guys nowadays. If your ever in Florida and want to check out my Gen 6 V6 Camaro putting some hurt down let me know.
It's comments like these that make me wish I could transcend the hobby stage I am in and do this for a main gig. I could totally spend a week in Florida (and other states for that matter) and review a bunch of cars. It's what I secretly still dream of.
The Dutch Texan Well keep it up you have a new subscriber!
Thank you! I’ll do my best!
I have V6, 3.55 flex fuel,Ram 1500, absolute blast racing car engine, such fun
V6 mpg with V8 power? I like a lot!
Nice man, welcome to the RIPP family haha. Just saw this video. Whats your muffler setup bro
Hit up the owner 86face! I just reviewed it!
JayMac95 can you do burnouts and swing it since it it’s supercharged
eric lopez oh yeah man, effortlessly. So much easier
I've been looking into supercharging my 14 v6 anyone know where I can do all this work at? Seattle based
Great video, but I'm not sold. I have an 18 GT AWD that came stock with 309 hp in an AWD. I live up north where we can get a lot of snow. This thing doesn't even notice it. I ordered this car new from the factory. The AWD would have taken back seat to the Hemi, but with 309 hp already, the AWD was more important and I've never regretted it. There's only a 60 hp difference between the R/T to begin with. The AWD won't allow it to do a burn out no matter what. But 309 hp is plenty for any car. Hell, a 454 big block V-8 only put out 260 hp. A 396 big block only put out 240. My first car was a 67 Olds 442, it had 350 hp and this Charger will eat it's lunch. And the 442 was never beat in a street drag. It was really fast, but it had an iron block that was really heavy. All the cars were heavy at the time. It was a 400 and they had to beef up the Cutlass front end of the car just to hold it up. While it was busy spinning it's tires, this Charger would be long gone, already in 4th to be exact. That car weighed 4,600 lbs and the Charger weighs 4,200. The 442 got 7 mpg, no matter what. My GT gets 22 mpg a tank average, no matter how I drive it. The 8 speed automatic on the Charger is truly an amazing transmission which will blow up with this supercharger. And I know one guy who blew his rear end with it. Both costly fixes. As much as I'd love to add it, I'm not chancing it. I did add a K&N intake system on it and it makes it breath easier and that's noticeable. It also makes it sound a lot throatier; like a giant 4-barrel with the air cleaner top flipped over. A good sound, but I'm not adding an exhaust that will buzz my brain. So far, all the ones I've seen, do. NO WAY. And with 2 more years of warranty on the drive train, I'm not going to fix what isn't broke. My GT has plenty of power and will blow off most anything out there. More than enough to get you into a lot of trouble. I really enjoy the Audi's. LOL I would recommend the K&N intake kit first. They say it's good for up to 30 hp, and send you the dyno sheet on it with the kit. It's under 300 dollars at K&N. If it does add 30, than there's only 30 hp separating this from the R/T. I don't know what engine they have, but I did beat a police interceptor with this car. It could have been me though. I had it in sport mode and did a 2,700 RPM launch with it. I don't think interceptors have a sport mode, or a launch mode. And probably have higher rear end gears for more top speed.
My concern would be the longevity of the motor with the super charger. Can the internal engine components along with the transmission handle the increased power over the long run.
If you replace some of the parts In the engine and transmission it'll last
They make the supercharger to where the components can handle it,,, ofc you need to change your driveshaft, rotors and brakes and all that but besides that you good
I like this a lot. The engine sound is so-so but the rest of it is amazing.
My sentiments exactly!
Gorgeous car and the boosted pentastar makes it different which I like.
I did a sn92 paxton on my ‘90 5.0L notchback in ‘92 and then later upgraded it to vr4....11.7et @124mph with a little juice in 3rd for the 1320 runs. So the supercharged six in the Challenger does not have the me too feel. I like it. Would love to do do the RIPP blower on my ‘14 Challenger 100th sxt plus.
Dare to be different! Talking about different, check out the owner's RUclips. His name is 86face! The car looks so much different, and he has surpassed what the stock drive train can handle. Blew his diff out! Now he has an LSD with stouter half shafts.
any drawbacks on the transmission not holding up due to the added power?
Just bought a 2019 v6 challenger and I don’t see why people bash it sure it ain’t as fast as a v8 but she goes I enjoy it
I mean, I love seeing underdogs, makes sense if you can get a sxt for dirt cheap. But new you're looking at 30k for a V6 with similar options to a RT, 6k for the supercharger, engine management, other mods ...or 39k for a scat pack ... but on the note I turbocharged a 93 ford escort, so I'm probably not in the best position to talk about smart spending .
Being a car enthusiast = bad financial decisions. I would have made plenty if not for my wife!
The Dutch Texan and in the end it's all about what the owner wants and likes.
30k for a V6?!? That's what I paid for my 392.
I mean I paid 21 for my V6...
Everyone needs to understand that even with getting a SCAT pack or R/T the horse power they are advertising is not at the will level, that is only the engine. So stock vehicles will get butt hurt by a Supercharged car. Why would I waste money getting a V8 and supercharge it just to spend more money, I think not.
Would love to have this on my 3.5 challenger but finding the ripp kit is next to impossible.
Sounds pretty good for a v6 👍❤️
Some Maseratis have the same engine
So this is better gas milage if you don't floor it?
Pretty much!
The Dutch Texan how much was it to get the supercharger and have it installed?
It’s a RIPP supercharger. Factor the price of the unit and the cost of install. I do not know the exact cost as I reviewed the car. Check out 86face on RUclips, he is the owner!
Love it!! With the supercharger whine was a tad louder
The hellkitten :3 I love it! We need this build on a awd challenger GT would be nuts
I doubt the AWD system would be up for that big of a power bump!
I would have left the appearance of a v6, but nice build anyways
I love my hellcat but a supercharged v6 pentastar 300 sounds fun too
Sounds and look good 👍🏽 I’ve been looking at a lot of RT chargers and challengers but I’ve been leaning towards a SXT charger/challenger or LT Camaro
I like these...I want to have one as an everyday drive
Not a bad choice really!
