Challenger RT vs Eco Boost Mustang 0-60 on the Street..

- Check out the wicked street battle in which I pit the Dodge Challenger RT against the Ford Mustang Ecoboost from 0-60 mph. Can the smaller and lighter Ford win the day or will the torque of the RT's V8 be too much for it to overcome?

The one thing i like you are unbiased. And give good content
So true
ik hes like the project farm of car guys
The slow initial tip in for the Ecoboost from a dig is turbo lag. In addition, the stock tune for the Ecoboost is very conservative. The advantage in performance goes to the R/T off the showroom floor. However, the Ecoboost is highly tunable. Change the downpipe, install a larger intercooler, and tune it, the Ecoboost becomes a high 11 second car. The total cost for these mods is only about $3,000. It will give a stock Scat Pack a good race in the quarter mile. Getting the R/T in the high 11s either requires a supercharger or ported heads, cam, exhaust, and 392 intake. The Ecoboost has far superior handling over the R/T. The sticker price for Ecoboost is about the same as a Challenger with the V6 Pentastar engine. The R/T rides better than the Ecoboost and has a far better exhaust note. The Ecoboost sounds like a fart can.
Haha. That's a perfect way to describe the sound! Fart can! Thanks, I'm using that. It could have a 1000hp and still have that sound.
Great summary.. I agree 👍
where are u living and where are ur sources coming from? Ecoboost with the active exhaust from 2018+ sounds very clean.
@@BrayZap - There is no comparison when comparing the sound of a 4 cylinder with a V8. The exhaust note of an 8 cylinder is superior to 4 and 6 cylinder engines. I say that as the owner of a V6 Mustang. The only Ecoboost that sounds almost tolerable belongs to a friend of mine who added an MBRP cat back. As crappy as the stock exhaust sounds, the active exhaust is even worse. The quieter you can keep those cars the better. If I ever bought an Ecoboost, I would disconnect the fake sound that is pumped through the speakers. The second thing I would do is add resonators. Sound is a matter of taste. I think the Ecoboost Mustang sounds like sh*t and you can't convince me otherwise.
@@hu3.789 your words say sounds like a fart can. If you think that does then you obviously dont like any 4 cylinder turbo engine ever created from any manufacturer then. Im coming from an Evo X
Always love your reviews on model comparisons, you always give a honest and fair comparison.A more of a Ford Mustang guy, always enjoy these videos, great job Racer X, can't wait for the next one!
I wish dodge would bump the HP up on the 5.7’s. Doesn’t seem like it would be that hard to get it to an even 400.
Yes the rt should be 400, scatpack 500, and hellcats can be whatever they want as long as it’s above 700😂
The Ram 1500's have 395HP and 410lbs ft torque. Im sure with some tweaking you can get the challenger and charger closer to that range.
I’ve heard of people dynoing there RT’s & it pulls around 400hp but idk🤷♂️
@@DavidLopez-oq6ye I heard the same thing a couple times
@@DavidLopez-oq6ye I’ve heard that too, plus rumors of Dodge under rating their engines.

It is great that the manufacturers are offering so many different engine combos. They pretty much have everyone covered. For me, the growl and rumble of a V8 is where it's at. But I'm old school. Having owned a Vega and a Pinto back in the day, (tough times) it's amazing what they have accomplished with a 4 cylinder.
Vega was my first car. Fill with oil, check gas. I had a ‘78 Cobra w/302. Not much hp but a blast to drive when you’re 21. Now I’m 3 times that age, the Ponycar is a ‘95 GTS w302, no stickers or scoops. I do wonder what that turbo stang will be doing when it has 150k on it. Those turbos may need replacement and that is gonna be $$$.
Been waiting on this for a long time
I had an R/T and now an ecoboost. They feel almost the same. I would says the RT definitely had more low end punch but the ecoboost has the mid range like RacerX said. All in all both fun cars but I miss my RT with the V8. I think they’re damn near neck and neck
Sound wise they are very far apart.
@@justpray365 wellll....obviously.

Great review on both cars. Hope to someday own a R/T.

I loved my RT the sound is amazing.
Picking mine up on Saturday! I wanted a scat pack but the monthly would be a bit too high. Maybe I'll trade it in in a few years. But you'll get there man!
The Ecoboost is no joke, especially with the 10 speed. I still enjoy the sound of my V-8 though.

you nailed it spot on on that torque feel really made me miss my 17 r/t base it was a fun cruiser
Awesome video RacerX!!! I just wish the Dodges weren't so freaking heavy...😑
The Ford Mustang Ecoboost needs high octane fuel for best performance!
And traction control off
Mustangs are not that great but I do like the Ford raptor neighbor has one twin turbos and a v6 good looking truck and I like dodge any day
Facts
Think you are all crazy 5.0 mustang top speed 160 same as a rt challenger v8 mustang has a little more horse power ecobost top speed 125 Ford dearlship page says this not me every thing is expensive believe what you want
160 mph top speed is due to the tires not being rated to go faster
Looking to buy a Dodge Challenger RT in early 2021 so I appreciate this video! Gave me more confidence in my decision for sure!
you won't regret it, had mine a month now, the thing is a torque monster! and i just did a mid-muffler delete (kept the resonators on), sounds perfect, loud when you want it to be (but not too loud) and quiet when you want (via Sport/Normal modes) ☮
I almost bought an R/T but they didn't have anything but a 50th Anniversary Scat Pack on the lot. They gave me a hell of a deal and now I'm so glad that they didn't have an R/T. I have a friend with an R/T so we have compared cars. He is trading for a Scat Pack. Best bang for the buck. Perfect power for the street. Drive both before you write the check.
I just got one a month ago, 6 speed manual RT, you wont regret it, great car, fun too drive
Get an older used scat instead
What I found out from my 2019 eco boost is, putting it in sports mode is better when you're already driving, but off the line, normal mode has a better punch
In my 2019 6 speed ecoboost, my best 0-60 was a 5.4. It needs a little bit of wheel spin to get a good time. I think it feels a bit sluggish once I’m up into 4th gear and even 3rd feels a bit slow.
Love the video RacerX. R/T for the win!
Thank you Eric
You're comparing a 4 cylinder to an 8 that says something there. The ecoboost is a tough little engine. Nothing sounds like a v8 tho. Love it
Excellent video Racer X! I would take the R/T Chally any day! There's no replacement for displacement!
Still really enjoy the RT
Love it! Perfect comparison 💯
Thanks for the video, RacerX! I was excited to see you have this comparison. For the first time I feel like I have more experience than you! 😉
I bought a new R/T (Auto) in late 2008 and drove it for 9 years. Then I bought a lightly used 2015 Mustang EcoBoost Premium Convertible which I'm still driving today. I can't find fault with anything you said in the video. The R/T was about a half second faster to 60 than the Mustang. I have to TRY to get wheelspin with the Mustang, I had to try NOT to with the R/T. You can do burnouts in the EcoBoost, but you have to prime the Turbos. It'll do it, but you gotta want it!
The only thing I don't like about the Mustang is the sound. It's horrible. Made worse when the top is down and you can't help but hear it. But the cornering is amazing!
The only complaint I ever had about my R/T was that it didn't like hot weather. That's a problem here in Alabama. It was sluggish on any 90+ degree day, but when the temp dropped below 60 you better hang on!
Bottom line is that I miss my Challenger and I'm saving up for a Scat Pack. The Mustang is my first convertible and I wanted to scratch that itch, but now I want my HEMI back! I'm hoping the Scat Pack's extra hundred horsepower will make up for the R/T's hot weather limitations. I want that 60 degree feeling year-round!
Absolutely love the videos I used to have a charger now I have an EcoBoost just 2 things to keep in mind The RT is recommended to run on 89 octane or higher gas the the ecoboost on 93 octane for maximum preformance now with my mustang in the premium with the premium drive modes in drag strip mode with 93 octane I'm in the low 5's and high 4's
Yeah this was a bad test, I have a 2017 Mustang Ecoboost auto and it used to get consistent 5.6s stock
One thing i find funny ,being Canadian the scat pack you call it in litres the 6.4 and here the "metric place" we call it in inches the "392".
Love the vids.
Cheers
Great review RacerX. I've actually been curious about this lately. I've been looking at challengers lately and I was surprised at the 0 to 60 on the R/T considering the HP, but the weight has always been just to much. The proof of that is comparing it to the Ecoboost Mustang. I have a 2017 premium Mustang Ecoboost (stock) and I usually get anywhere between 6.0 and 5.4. For the price of the R/T and the HP, it should be way faster than a 4 cylinder turbo. Less than a second apart could come driver skills in a race. I'm not bias in any way, I love all cars. My other car is a convertible Z51 C6 Vette. 28hp more HP and same torque as the Challenger R/T, but the 0 to 60 is 4.0 stock. If they could only shed some weight from the challenger. I love the comparison videos!!!
I wonder how much of a difference it would make if the ecoboost were a performance pack.
Or if that one had drag mode
IT'S MUCH FASTER
@@steveschilling5966 Which one are you referring too?

I'm 57. It's NUTS to me that a 2.7 is even in the performance conversation with out Mods.. I am very Happy with my Velocity Blue 2020 Pony.....👍
i’m a proud owner of a 2020 Vel Blue myself
Thanks for reviewing my car!!!! Knew I made a badass decision 😎
Enjoy that beast
i’m a Ford fan but that 5.7Hemi is a really good plant, had one years ago in a ‘05Durango and it pulled really good off the line and passing or merging power to be a full size SUV. the 5.7 was never a disappointment. loss races in it, Escalade and Infinity full size suv, only because they were AWD.
Haha that's really cool, I have literally owned both cars. Have the rt now, luv it! EB does need 93 it's about a 10% HP difference. Did the Ford tune which takes tq to 400 and +100 hp at 6000rpm. It's a must for that car. Either way I prefer the rt, sound and drive experience feel much better and just seems to put you back in your seat more.
Great video, I enjoyed that thank you!
Great video
Try doing the ecoboost performance pack, it has 20 more hp and a different snappier diff.
Great vid X. That frostbite blue on that RT is sexy AF! Really is a great time to be a car guy with so many different options out there. Love my 19 Scat Challenger but really want to upgrade to a 50th anniversary wide body Scat. Need to get on it before their gone for good. Still looking Unfortunately ^¿^
I live in a southern rural area with crappy roads and my best time on my stock 2020 challenger RT is 4.8. I also plan on getting bigger tires and tuning it some time in the future
Looks like you going up a incline on a highway ramp with the mustang on the 6.0 run so I’m curious what it would do on a level ground with the same launch.
Plus launch control and good tires
I prefer torque as well, but on the top end and modded I feel like the ecoboost would still be a ton of fun. (-:
I agree with you Bob
The R/T is a more than capable power plant especially after a tune and mods. I love mine and I appreciate Racer X for staying unbiased 🙌🏽.
absolutely my friend
Idk I’ve seen people turn those ecoboost as fast as gt just with bolt ons and a tune
you got it opposite a modded ecoboost will put 3 buses on a rt

Welcome to the channel
You should do a tutorial on how to roll race the RT, 392, and SRT. I would love to see the setting, the gear to be in when doing and just the overall details on how to roll race.
Rush shift has a video on his channel
@@Savii-Jo oh thanks I will check it out
@@Chillax11 you wanna know how to roll race an automatic car? You being serious right now or you just Joshin?
Hey Racerx.... I have a question about the interior of the Challenger especially the distance from the door armrest to the steering wheel so I saw a reviewer trying to use the armrest and he couldn't reach the steering wheel with his left hand unless he sort of leaned over and leaned into the steering wheel because the distance from the door to the driver seat is substantial have you found that an issue I'm 6 foot three by the way and the tester himself was I think 6 ft tall.... or is it something you just have to get used to with the Challenger...not using the armrest...
I love your enthuasim, however the Ecoboost you were driving is not the engine from the Focus RS. That is the 2020 HPP Ecoboost. Great video, great work!
Another fun show. I really think ford dropped the ball on using the 2.3. I feel they really should have used the 3.5 ecoboost. I had on in a Taurus SHO and would do low 5's 0-60 in a big car AWD
That would probably take away from the 5.0 performance would be close enough that the cheaper price of the 3.5 would outsell the coyote
If they used the 3.5 no one would buy the coyote lol, I wish they used the 2.7 tho that would’ve been nice
frostbite lol just like his eyes. i just rented the mustang and found it to be surprisingly quick around town lol
Great content. Love your videos comparisons on vehicles. Thinking of getting a scat pack soon was wondering if the magnaflow x mod series is really worth the money? Love the x mod set up. Noticed the price for it was $1,800. Just asking for your thoughts.
The Xmod is probably the nicest system on the market.. you will love it if you can swing the prive.. around $2800 I believe
Yea you're right miss typed
Even more interesting than the time is the distance. There is about a 25ft difference at 60mph. That is a safe maneuver on a head-to-head 2-to-1 lane merge.
That is very observant.. surprised you saw that.. nice
Ive always been a mopar guy but recently bought an ecoboost and it really surprised me
So cool that you were in Irving
Nice video
I wouldn’t mind the scrape guards on the challenger/chargers if they came in different colors than caution yellow. Like gray or black or even red would be kind of cool.
@Emerson Little because color is a preference, and some colors don’t go good with yellow.
Quick question is the coolant on an RT supposed to be purple or can it be any oat that meets specifics?
The facial expressions are PRICELESS
Racer X I saw u today turning onto altamesa I was in the B5 blue Charger scatpack I rev my engine to get you to look
I applaud your review of the cars. Good job. I myself lean to the R/T. Not that the Mustang is bad it is just the term "4cyl" when guys talk muscle cars.
You do realize on of the 1st stangs was a 4banger 88 hp so was that considered muscle
Just subscribed I have a base manual 2020 mustang gt. 5.1-5.3 is my best times on the 0-60 feature. Fighting traction with 235 tires. I hope to reduce it significantly with 275s
What app are you using? Thank you in advance.
I've got a 2022 330 horsepower/350ft lbs tq HPP ecoboost and I'm hitting 4.8 0-60's consistently. Good for 13.40-13.50@102-103mph bone stock.
Its all in the package you pick out. If you care about this kind of stuff and still want the inline 4, spend the extra cash and get the HPP package
What do you think will be better option c300 4matic sedan or a dodge challenger Gt awd?
I already know who’s gonna win. I raced one of those RT’s. Ecoboost gets away but hemi comes back on him in high rpm’s.
Team R/T represent!!!
I’ve done consistent 5s in my 10 speed eco, that’s kinda weird, I’ve only been able to get 4.9 once.
I've got a new V6 Camaro, but I always see EcoBoosts beating 5.7 liter dodges
@@chriscole4717 hahaha keep telling yourself that
@@H1storybr3akdown RTs are slow as shit lmao
@@dkis8730what do you drive
I have a charger R/T and she still spins with even 275’s on the back, ugh. Any tips?
Looks like only .5 sec apart between a base Ecoboost and a RT 8 cylinder. Of course the sound and feel of the RT is better but the Ecoboost is quite a nice package as you say!
I was eye balling a nice 392 Charger on Clay Cooley's website and this video pops up on RUclips feed. Coincidence? Don't care. Do I want that 392? Yep. Will they give me enough in trade on my Ram? Not likely. But I'll keep looking till I find the right deal becauseI got the fever. The Hemi fever again that is. Had two previous SRTs before, a Chrysler and a Challenger and can tell you without a doubt that there are few that will deny that the sound of that 6.4 Hemi is spine tingling. Raspy in just the right way. Screams when appropriate. Mopar or no car.
I have a manual ecoboost, I have no problems hitting 5.3-5.6 consistently. If you know how to rip the gears, I think that’s the better pairing with the turbo-4. Even with traction control on, it’ll lay a patch of rubber 40 ft long and chirp tires coming in to second AND third gear. The other day, I had to punch it to get onto the expressway, and even with a 50 mph rolling start, it spun tires when I downshifted to third and dumped the clutch. If the old school dudes would give it a chance and learn how to make a turbo work for them, I think they’d LOVE the 6-speed turbo pony. But not a lot of people in MY generation can. I’m just lucky my poppop taught me how to drive in a manual.
@Thomas Driggers. Your Ecoboost left a 40 ft patch of rubber? 😅😂. Spinning the tires at 50 mph?😄😅😂. I bet after all that your alarm clock woke you up, cause you dreaming.😴.
Tires do make a difference wow i have a 2012 rt stock but the tires and iam usually hitting 5.15ish
What app are you using for the run
I've beaten the Eco Boost, and higher trim Mustangs with my RT Plus Shaker 6 speed manual on a tire. It's all about driving skills, traction, and launching. But whatever, both cars are fun...
Did you have traction control off for these tests?
Would be real interesting to see the 6th gen Camaro v6 on these runs
Mustang Ecoboost will win.
@@joestevens9362 no it won’t
@@davidbauer3639 EcoBoost WILL take it off the line. And so will the R/T (Assuming Brake-Rev Launching for all cars) Camaro will eventually pass both of them, probably before the quarter mile mark.
Few things to consider with the Mustang the stock basic tiers on the base eco boost is garage was traction control off ? And was 93 octane in the tank because when you run 93 in a car with a turbo it actually gives you more power we should see a new test with the eco boost performance model vs the Rt Challanger
very true. I filled up with 93, last night, dead stop, to run to 60, no more bog, before launch. this is a 2019, 22k.
The only thing i absolutely hate is the limited amount of space in the back of the eco boost I'm a pretty tall guy and I never have room whenever I sit in the back of my eco boost. I've also been in the back of the challenger rt and it felt like heaven. Hopefully one day I can save up enough to get a scat pack.
Thats a good thing. Throw the people you dont like in the back.
I owned a 2019 Challenger R/T and got to drive an Ecoboost Mustang for a rental car after my Challenger was totaled. It was honestly hard for me to tell the difference. The ecoboost may have been a hair faster on the top end while the R/T had the low end punch. Both nice cars though.
I’m a Ford Person But Yes, that was a Very UnBiased test!! WELL DONE!
Thiat Mustang appears to be the regular Eco Boost, not the HPP (High Performance Package). The HPP would be a more interesting comparison IMHO. I really dig the R/T. I know people seem to prefer the Scat Pack and I dig that too, but the R/T doesn't get the respect it deserves as it is no slow poke.
I've had both car's love them both.
The R/T is just a bit too much for the Ecoboost.
It’s sad it barely did much better than a 4 cylinder mustang.
@@doriankitts7475 agreed but at the end of day it’s a true muscle with that V8. That sound alone is good enough for me. But i do wish it was tad faster
@Speed Gate no I agree with you, I have a 392 charger and these Econ post are no match
@Speed Gate the ecoboost didnt have 93 in the tank.
Go to my channel to check some runs with my 2016 ecoboost mustang...mid 5s with 93 octane. A 2018+ w/ the 10 speed, should do slightly better...theres a few doing 4.7 sec in colder temps....
On a dig with the right fuel it beats the Charger on a dig, but not on a rolling start or on the top end.
Got to put it in track and use the paddles if it's an automatic to get the best 0 -60 as the automatic turbo lags on the get go. I have the ecoboost premium version with alot of mods making it much faster and even after driving it for years it's still just as fun
If you play around with the buttons on the steering wheel of the mustang you'll find that there's an option to record your 0-60 time ( u dont need your phone) , it also records your all time best 0-60. I do 5.6 - 5.9 0-60 on my STOCK mustang ecoboost easily, on literally every try. My recorded all time best 0-60 is 5 5. I agree that the v8 sound is unmatchable but the 0-60 comparison is a very very close one between these two.
This Base Ecoboost is much less money than the RT, which looked like it had several options too. What’s the price difference, about $10,000?
It’s not fair for the mustang even it’s not the premium anyway good video I enjoyed it first time to watch your videos.
The sound of the 5.7 Hemi wins every time. next heads up even up the weight difference by towing a boat/trailer behind the Mustang ? The BIG question is will the Chally ever get a lighter platform ?
Ah the 5.7 hemi, V6 speed, V8 sound and mpg 😂🤣
High octane fuel, drag mode, no advanced traction control, and the performance tires and you’ll pull below 5 seconds every time. The exhaust kits you can get for the ecoboost make it sound better than a v6, and some v8 exhausts.
I got consistent 5.6s when my car was stock on the Ecoboost, 93 octane + traction control off
Just got an EB. Why traction control off?
Racerx to 8 year old kid: The challenger went 0-60 in 5.7 seconds, and the mustang went 0-60 in 6 seconds. Which is faster?
8 year old: trick question! Both went equally fast, as both went 60 mph!
I have a 15 challenger R/T. My buddy rented a 20 GT 10spd convertable. We raced 7 times from about a 30 roll and he was only inching ahead up until I hit 95mph(4th to 5th shift) and then he pulled away at a good rate. The 5.0 definitely has more top end than a 5.7 but ive also asked a few ecoboost mustang drivers and they say it kinda falls off after 100mph. The 5.7 falls off a bit but id think it isn't as much of a fall off as the ecoboost has. But id still love to race against an ecoboost just for the hell of it.
Great post X. Unfortunately I have not driven my Scat Pack for several weeks because a turkey did a Kamikaze to my front grill. I guess he was getting even for Thanksgiving. My Grandson ask me why I haven't driven her. I told him that it's like having a beautiful woman with a black eye. He understood that analogy.

I have a 2019 challenger TA in f-8 green which I bought new. It is faster than my 68 GTO and my 73 455 Pontiac Trans Am by a lot, plus it got 27 mpg going 70 plus on a road trip. Love the challenger, dodge got it right.
W video
I have had a lot of turbos, supercharged and NA cars. You have to spool up the turbos, brake torquing to about 2,000-2,500 before releasing the brake. Whole different car.
The only downside to the Mustang turbo 4 for me would be longevity of the engine vs. the Hemi v8.
Both would be great daily drivers.
I actually like the Turbo just for the fuel economy aspect. I did hear that the turbo overheats quickly, especially on hot days, which I would not be happy about if I owned one. I'm also pretty certain that the turbo would wear out much faster than the Hemi. It's also why I wouldn't want a hellcat.
@@jordancameron2482 And that is why I'm keeping my Scat Pack. Superchargers and Turbos are expensive. I can burn the tires off in second gear. Unless you are drag racing there isn't a need for more power.
Hemis eat camshafts
@@joe1273 But is sounds and runs so damn good while it's eating them. FCA redesigned the lifters so hopefully the Hemi isn't hungry anymore.
@@justpray365 its not the lifters, its the angle of them. They get no lubrication at low engine rpm. I replace a ton in plow trucks and cop cars.
I raced an EcoBoost and I was gonna get 1 as my 1st stang in 2016 but I don't wana sound like a lawn mower
Get a 2015 gt over a ecoboost please
As a Mustang fanboy, I have to admit the Ecoboost does not sound good at all. I have heard good sounding four cylinders before. Nissan's SR20 and Mitsubishi's 4G63 come to mind. I was actually surprised by how badly it sounded when I first heard it.
@Jason M. What exhaust are you running?
@Jason M. I'm 44 and run a Borla S-Type on my 5.0. Louder than stock, not so loud that it's annoying. Ford tunes their stock exhaust on the quiet side because Mustangs have such a wide fan base. I've changed the stock exhaust on all the Mustangs I've had over the years. I've heard Ecoboost Mustangs with stock exhaust, Ford Performance, Flowmaster, Magnaflow, even a Chinese made titanium exhaust. Nothing sounded good. I'd buy a new one if they offered it with the 2.7 V6 Ecoboost. I couldn't careless less where it's made. Remember the Mustang is only assembled in the United States. A lot of the parts in your Mustang come from Chinese suppliers. Don't believe me. Look it up. All that said, sound is subjective. Peace.
