    For your German viewers, you need to add the 4th, 5th and 6th gear. We don´t stop accelerating after the 3rd over here when driving our Challengers on the Autobahn. Cool test. I enjoyed the engine growl of your RT a lot.

    • @HemiMike
      @HemiMike  4 года назад +1

      😀 lucky guys! Sure wish I could pull top speed in 5th! I think Ive reach to 192kmh in 4th. And the most I got with the road I had to run on was 215kmh @4800rpm still plenty left in 5th gear. They say it max out at 279kmh.

      @Vera_and_Christian 4 года назад +1

      My 2009 RT is electronically limited to 240 km/h. That is plenty fast for me. Never had the urge to go faster but I did get pushed from the left lane plenty of times. Many mid size cars in Germany do 250. So a RT does not really stick out speed wise. In all other aspects it does 😎.

    Good afternoon, I have some question - with a manual transmission, there is an " ECO " mode - that is, there is a shutdown of the 4 cylinder? And in general, what is the fuel consumption you get when driving normally with a manual transmission?

      No eco mode with MDS with the manual.

    Wow...that's interesting. It seems very low for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. I have been a GM guy most of my life and am currently about to buy a Challenger R/T (my first Dodge ever). I'm just not happy with how far the Camaro has moved from its roots and the blind-spots are terrible. My 2002 Firehawk and 1994 25th Anniversary Trans-Am hit faster in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd than this Challenger. I don't know if I like that and am wondering if I can change that.

      That's so...I don't like it. I just test drove a 2015 Dodge Challenger R/T Plus 5.7 liter w/ a 6-speed and while I liked the car (really, really liked it) having to shift so early bothered me. I don't feel as if I have the same amount of control moving forward as my GM's. Now I'm thinking I am going to have to rip the gears out and replace them within days of getting it (if I do get it)...I don't know now. Again, super sweet car with tons of potential that in my opinion exemplifies what American muscle should be. Both Ford and GM are way, way off the mark now. I don't even know what the Hell a Camaro is anymore.
      Here's what worries me- I go to the quarter mile track with my new Challenger. I line up at the tree, the light goes green, and I hammer it. Then in the heat of the race I don't shift early and I either blow the clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearings or I snap the transmission in two. That's my real issue and I see it coming from a mile away. After driving and racing GM's my entire life I don't know if this is the right move for me. However, if I don't choose the Challenger then what?

      Well sort of. If you turn off ATSC hold TC for 5 seconds (2011-2014, key fob trick 2008-2010) it puts your car into race mode. This does change rev limiter. Not sure what sport mode does on 2015+ but race mode is activated same way. My car has Super Track Pack so not sure if that option only applies to cars so equipped. Scat packs without STP do go into race mode though that I have confirmed

My Rev limit is 6500 and with being 600 over stock it really helps the gearing. 1st get 45 2nd 66 3rd 96 4th 138. No those numbers are shifting at 6300 roughly. Anyways nice video man
