This video is what made me choose my 2021 sxt. Two years later I love it still
Never knew they’d put brembos on a V6, interesting how spec’d out you can get these new age cars even with the baseline motors. 🔥🔥
the GT model's are a little better than the sxt's my boi has one with the performance handling group it's lowered basically like a scat pack
Yes there are so many ways to trim these out
You can go by trims or custom order.
@@halcyonoutlander2105 Personally I prefer a professional shop over rattle can customs...
Need to stop the lightest boat
Awesome video. Just recently joined the mopar family with my 17 charger RT. Absolutely in love with it, and look forward to watching more of your videos in the future. Subscribed!
I just bought a 2020 GT and it’s absolutely awesome.. the V6 gives plenty of power and get up to get out of sticky situations.
I had the 2020 Gt charger and I highly recommend you get the 6.4L it’s what I have now I’m telling you will feel the difference
@@johngonxales3816how much did you pay for yours? The R/T
Nobody is going to talk about the red wide body scat pack? So striking!!!
Haha I talked about it 👍
Man that thing had my heart racing! So beautiful!
🥵
Kinda hard to notice when you got hellcats around
Using the same words he used, okay
Great video RacerX. I really enjoyed the comparison. As others have said I’ve seen a little better 0-60 times in my R/T but overall I expected the GT to run a little closer to the R/T. Definitely a cool bunch of guys at that dealership to let you do this stuff. If I was closer I’d give them some business. An idea for a future video: explain the details of the super track pack option and what trims it’s available on. My 17 Daytona has it but I’m still trying to figure out what other trims have it and exactly what it includes.
Wouldn’t want buy a car there.
Another great video as expected! Love this channel.
You just got a new sub from me! I keep going back to this video and I appreciate that you show love for both trims! I just bought a 2020 challenger GT Awd in frostbite blue and I LOVE her! Keep up the great work! 👍
This man gives the most honest reviews💯✅ you got me to subscribe :)
All right, caught this one early I’m sure it’ll be a good one
Yes you did 🤜🔥

Thanks for making these videos racer x
Absolutely Kevin
Just picked up a hellcat widebdy challenger and love it.Just found your channel and now im binging, good stuff.
Love these videos showcasing the SXT,GT and the RT. They are terrific cars that get overlooked. I'm thinking about getting a sxt for a daily. Get all the looks for a great price and cheaper operating costs ie fuel, insurance, upkeep..etc.
Rt
Excellent video Racer X! I had no doubt that the R/T would come ahead! R/T is my pick! Imagine that, 5.7 in a 5.7. Perfectly matched numbers! If I had my way though, SCAT PACK is where it's at! Love that Hellraisen Chally! That and in the gold paint trim is FANTASTIC! I noticed that on the RT and GT, they are calling back to a 1971 grill. I prefer the 70 non split grill but it's great either way!
5.7 isn’t that fast considering the size of that engine though. There four cylinders doing 5 secs easy.
@@JMV0711 agreed, which is why it’s not worth the money or gas.
This channel is friggin awesome!! You are going to be huge sir!!!
Thanks buddy.. much appreciated
As expected. Thanks for the video.
This is why I wasn't concerned about V6 vs V8 when I bought mine. Sure, it's obvious a V8 will perform better on the high end, but unless you're doing that regularly, that V6 engine will do just fine and the car is still just as beautiful.
Shame there wasn't an Indigo Blue around anywhere. Seems like a more rare color. If you get a chance, you should hunt one down and show it, it is a gorgeous color when you see it in person. The Dodge website doesn't do it justice.
I have the same exact R/T 💯 I love it❤️
Your times are spot on with what I got for these cars.
nah i consistently run 5.1 in my stock '17 rt
Cool video and a great comparison. I'm a surprised that the RT wasn't a little faster. I've been looking into getter a GT AWD, but with the prices it seems hard to justify the GT AWD when the RT is priced about the same. But, my daily drive is a Mustang Premium Ecoboost and I've gotten 5.4 on the 0 to 60 with it stock. Looks like the AWD for me. Love the videos!!!
Hey X do you think you can give us a in depth look at the SuperStock?? I’m really interested in a gear head version
Even as heavy as these cars are 300hp is plenty sufficient for some spirited driving on the street. Would be interested to see how much the additional weight of the AWD system would effect performance given that the stock rubber can obviously handle the V6's power just fine.
I think the AWD car would be nearly identical since there really wasn’t much spinning 👍
V8 is nice they have a nice package on Gt version with all the Bells and Whistles and All wheel drive 🚗 in Michigan GT all the way in my book
@@RacerX9but the GT is the AWD model.... Ugh lol
@@marcusjohnson7441with the GT’s now, you can choose the AWD or RWD option. It’s no longer auto equipped.
@@theparagon4550 that's a nice feature. And I'm sure it will help with the longevity of the platform.
I really like that video, love the content I love being able to drive down the street or highway and see these cars and know exactly what those cars will do, great information, and that widebody redeye in the smoke was awesome, my widebody hellcat is white and black but man do I love that smoke color, Again, great video RacerX!
I raced a widebody Hc in my 5.7
It sounds good but they cant hook lol
Thanks buddy.. much appreciated 👍.. yes those widebody Redeye cars are awesome
@@just_a5.7 Yeah it’s hard for them to hook, but when they do “see you“
The 6cyl would be up there with 1980 and 1990 cars.
Nice entertaining and informative video.
Thank you X
I had a 2010 Mustang GT. And it's just incredible that today's V6 engines outperform yesterday's V8s. Its amazing stuff.
I had a ‘16 Camaro with the 2.0 turbo, and in a stoplight drag race, I beat a ‘08 Bullitt Mustang and held the advantage all the way to 147. Both cars were very similar in performance, but it’s amazing that a four cylinder can match or beat a V8 from just 8 years earlier. But that Mustang had such a good sound to it....
@@danielsherrill7085 Yeah no kidding. Less weight and forced induction is the way to go over displacement.
I mean, some of today's v6s outperform them, but the 2010 gt had like a 5.2 0-60 which I think only the camaro v6 beats rn without turbos
this really isn’t bad for the v6 considering it said you were going uphill slightly as well as having slightly less dense air, these will effect the times.
Thanks for the footage 👍🏽 that RedEye and ScatPack looking lovely 💯🏁💯
Great video! Have you ever done a review on the pedal box?
Replaced my tires and rims on my stock RT Charger setup with 9.5 wide Hellcat Replicas and 295 40s on all fours corners big difference in hooking up, no need to modulate the throttle when accelerating. Going to pick up one those Dragys looks like a neat product.
Correction,, tires are 275 40s...
I’m loving the Frostbite Color. I just traded my Green With Envy car for a 2020 widebody Scat Pack Challenger in Frostbite.
Oh nice.. that’s a great spec
@@RacerX9 thank you, I’m loving it!!
I just found out about that color Frostbite, I'm torn between indigo blue, and Frostbite for my widebody Charger...
Personally I like the indigo. But the frostbite I saw was a charger. Dunno if that mattered
What a beast, beautiful car.
Bought my first challenger from there...love those guys
Damn im late😅 but i really enjoy these comparisons!
The time for the GT seems about right, but the R/T a little slow. I'd guess the all-seasons (RS-A2's) require a little feathering, and the engine isn't really broken in. It should loosen up by 5K miles. My R/T came with those tires, and I couldn't launch aggressively at all. Replaced them with Firestone Firehawk summer tires (245)...what a difference. Running low 5's consistently with a few 5 flats (perfect launch and in winter Florida air). The app your using is interesting!
I own a Go Mango colored 2019 R/T and any chance I get on the road, I do 0-60 tests. About 30% of the time I get a little bit of a spin out on the tires. The other 70% it goes with no traction issues. My best time so far is 5.8 on 0-60. When driving the R/T, you just feel like a king with all that power under the hood. I enjoy seeing other R/Ts being debuted. Everyone tends to only want to talk about Scat packs and Hellcats.
The RT is a fun package. Nice car taste, cause my RT is the same color.
@@1993bassmasta I almost made mine blue with the black stripe down the middle. However, the mango with the R/T stripe on the side won me over on the vintage look. :)
You should manual shift too
Really? I got 5.8 in my 2018 sxt
Hey RacerX just wondering if you could possibly tell me what kind of performance gains I might be able get out of a Borla Atak cat back system on a V6 SXT Challenger? I have it on my car right now and was installed by the previous owner. My recorded best 0-60 time was 5.7 seconds. Thank you
I had a 2010 GT (new)...It had a 4.6L. Beast of a car back in the day. The new generation of motors (across all manufacturers) smoke it. I would say even the V6 cars have 300+ HP, which is a lot. Especially on the street. You're not going to win races on the track, but its MORE than enough for street use and they don't break the bank. And you can get them optioned out...
Great vid Racer X , what was the price difference between the two ? The 50th anniversary car with the matte black hood is cool with its sleeper appearance look . Cheers
There was about a 6k price difference Mike
@@RacerX9
Thank you Mr. X on that note if I were looking into one of those two cars and had to choose I’m sure the $6k wouldn’t be much more on a payment , depending on one’s credit score of course . Cheers
I always said if I can't afford the v8 version of a so called muscle car, I'd just get something else
I feel the same way...but at the same time if I got a good deal on a v6 or somebody just GAVE me one I'm SURE I'd take it !
Same I personally wouldn't buy a V6 muscle car, but there are some people that make me hate the v6's like being obnoxious and I am like "bro it's just a v6" but if I got a great deal on it I would go for the GT trim level they are better than the sxt and look amazing
Amen, I bought a Focus ST! Near Identical straight line performance as a V6 Camaro of the same year (2013) but none of the stigma that surrounds the non V8 muscle, plus it's fun in it's own special way being a high tech FWD turbo vs N/A RWD Camaro. Plus, it comes with 3 pedals only 😎 as soon as I can get my ass in a V8 though, I'll get that!!
@@alexandernovosad4722 them focuses aren't a joke a friend let me drive his and it moved
I can afford it but I just don't want to pay 10k for each additional cylinder.
Both cars were to new to really get an accurate 0-60. My 2017 t/a plus and its replacement, 2019 t/a 392 got faster once they were broke in.. it seems to me once They hit 2000 miles they both were noticeably stronger than when they were new.
Full Cam Phasing is locked on the Hemis until around 1800 miles or so.
I just signed and took home a 2016 challenger R/T, I'm having so much fun with it, I plan doing a full exhaust with intake and tune. Then some lowering springs, strut bar and sway bars. Then wider wheels and tires
Congrats on the car :DD
@@user-kc8yo9yy7o thank you, I'm incredibly happy with it so far
@@dillonhughes1417 that’s awesome!! I would be very happy myself as well 😂
It's always cool to see the differences between the trims. Even the base challenger is no slouch. The best I'm able to to get on my RT is 4.8. Great video.
4.8 on the street is awesome
Wat mods
I'm almost 2 months in after buying my 2020 GT and still a happy camper! The V6 is plenty powerful, and even though the engine is the same, sounds SO MUCH better than the one in my old car, the 2018 SXT.
It’s that srt hood assisting too for engine sound lol
You basically bought the same car again ...why even upgrade
@RUclips Legend The GT is AWD and I live in the Northeast.
@@SamJ_1980 should of held out and found a used pursuit charger or challenger they come with v8 hemi and awd probably for the same or less then what you paid... that would of been a better upgrade honestly.... your only gonna need awd for a quarter of a year at best trust me I live in the very top of the mid west
@RUclips Legend Yep, I couldn't agree more. I'm looking into getting rid of the GT now anyway, I love the new chargers and want to see if I can grab an R/T at a reasonable price
The 5.7 isn't so much about the speed, it's the sound. No other muscle car generates such nice V8 sound at the engine and exhaust.
Fun video! 👍👍 Been telling the younger guys the new V6's aren't that bad especially for a first car. Everyone has to start somewhere!
Cool to see a stock R/T and the GT in the real world 0-60, thank you.
My modded Charger R/T has the stock Challenger by over a full second to 60! LOL!
I like the V6 Challenger just fine. 0-60 in 6.56 is very slightly less than my BoltEV. That is to say, quite fast enough for me. Too much power and my DL would collect points faster than my mom used to collect S&H Green Stamps when I was young.
The v6 is tempting since it’s cheaper but I always tell myself if I ever get a challenger it has to be a V8.
Then get a camaro or mustang, the base model v8 from dodge loses to 4 bangers. They are heavy as shit and only have 375 hp. Dodge has the record for the LOWEST hp for a v8. It sucks ass. Save your money. Either get a scat or something else
@@haroldedinjiklian6267 I mean unless he doesn’t care about racing it lol. RT is more of a cruiser with that sweet v8 sound that most ppl want without having crazy hp like a scat. I think it’s great for a daily without thinking your fast.
Just picked up a 2018 GT and I can’t wait for the weather to get nicer to drive it.
I own the 2021 Challenger GT V6 and love it and it moves!
Love it, love it, love it, love it! Love these trims of the beautiful Challenger more than the more sporty Scat Packs and Hellcats. These trims are peppy and sporty but still manage to fly "under the radar" due to the less aggressive styling. Finally love the videos, very fun and lively!
Try a GT AWD next in one of these tests. I would like to see what the difference would be compared to the RWD version. Thank you for the informative videos! :)
In my AWD GT the best I have so far is a 6.3 0-60
@@cljay25 so far in mine I got 6 seconds flat. I have a CAI and took the resonators off
@@mtg9529X I have a CAI as well and added an axle back exhaust. Just haven't had time to test again.
Just pull the awd fuse and it’s in rwd
@@disguisedpickle1360 why would I want to do that? The awd is getting better 0-60 then rwd
I've gotten 5.8 in my '18 Charger GT AWD. Need to have the AWD for the winters here in Central PA (with the heated seats and steering wheel its a perfect winter/all season car). Would love a Scat Pack but the GT is plenty for me 98% of the time.
What camera are you using this video looks beautiful
Good comparison. I’m a little surprised the 5.7 wasn’t quicker than that. I was getting pretty consistent low 5’s in my 2016 Charger R/T. I think a better comparison though would have been tracking 40-70 or something to that effect. The torque of the Hemi really helps these heavy cars pull hard on a roll.
I do with some Mods 3.7 in my R/T and solid 4.7 when it was stock so I don't know what u folks doing 😂
Put premium gas in it it will give it a little more h.p it's been proven best I ran was 4.8 to 60
It makes like 30 more torque than horsepower makes it even better uphill tbh but it’s also adding more weight for the engine difference
Those first two comments lol. Guys trying to say their 4,000 lb car with 370 hp did 0-60 in 3-4 second range. Wierd, considering 4.2 is the best my 3,080 lb 405 hp Z06 ever did.
@@gtdrummerdudeI’ve done 4.4 with my scatpack charger lol
I love my 16' challenger sxt. I recently got my 0-60 in 5.7 seconds. only mod to my car is a cai but man does the car feel great and for a v6 sound amazing.
Love the v6 cars. My mom has a v6 with the 8 speed which really changed the game for the v6. I just wish the v6 had a larger aftermarket. If it did, I feel that many more people would opt for it instead of the R/T
I love the Challenger/Charger color schemes ...
Good video. The GT times are slower than my AWD though, but your results are close to what I expected. I expected the RT low 5s and the GT closer to 6 flat. But 8 tenths is about what I expected.
If you have the opportunity to do this again, use the AWD in Sport with launch control. You will be closer to 6 flat if not high 5s. I regularly see guys with AWDs posting 0 to 60s in 5.7 - 6.0.
I don't know Why Dodge played around with the GT trim. When launched it was the AWD trim level and that was its purpose. Now it's all over the place like the other trims. Just make it the GT trim with AWD and the appropriate equipment package like it launched with. GT Plus ..... come on, it's getting to be a complicated trim like the others now.
He had the R/T in eco mode. In sport, it does 5.0 easily. I get that consistently without trying. He can't drive. Sorry but the GT is significantly slower than the R/T.
@@JohnJones-cg2xm I can't say he can't drive ..... lol. That's a hefty observation. There has to be extenuating circumstances as to why he did the test like this. Dealer cars, not familiar with them, ect. But I know the GT AWD is consistently quicker than these numbers and you say the same for the RT. The interesting thing though is he is about .8 seconds quicker in the RT and if you figure your stated numbers vs mine, we are about the same as his numbers.
@@BeefBravo1257 I don't know the actual v6 numbers but I can get a consistent 5 second number and some 4.9s. A second is a lot of time if you are looking at drag racing. It's not all about speed for me though. I like the sound and feel of a V8 and the fact that v8s seem to hold up forever and have less problems than the smaller engines. Also, if you race the R/T at any kind of roll, especially 60 mph, it destroys the V6. There is endless high end power in the R/T. A lot of cars do well 0-40, then the v8 comes on strong and they die out.
@@JohnJones-cg2xm I like the 5.7. For me it's one of the best sounding engines. I wanted the AWD though and the 3.6L wasn't a big turn-off for me. Love my car. It's a fun car.
My supercharged v6 all wheel drive did 4.6s 0-60 the other night, now that was using the timers on the performance pages
What mods
@@jgutmen486 ripp supercharger pug lower intake ported TB Custom tune by a local shop 388 hp and 319 tq to rear wheels
@@justinshauf394 You put a supercharger on a v6.? Should have just bought a scat pack and mod it
@@jgutmen486 see that's what I thought at first but the scatpack i wanted to trade into was still double the cost of what I have into the car right now, also my charger has all wheel drive and there's currently snow and ice everywhere so it helps a lot having more traction.
@@justinshauf394 The scat pack can't take any boost. That's why they didn't use the 392 for the hellcat. They had to mix the 392 and the 5.7 to create the 6.2. Would be cool to have both an awd v6 and a rwd hellcat. I have a hellcat, and I might get an awd GT just to drive in the winter.
Cool comparison! Just curious if dodge recommends an easy break in period and if so why is the dealer allowing them to get beat on before the person actually buying it gets to break it in properly 🤔...??
Hey I live in Irving and I was wondering if you could review a hellcat
WHAT DO YOU GAIN WITH WIDE BODY OPTION VS. NON WIDE BODY IN THE SCAT PACK OPTION? BETTER ACCELERATION? WHAT DO YOU GIVE UP? TOP END SPEED? IN THIS SCENARIO IT WOULD BE WITH THE 392 HEMI WITH 8 SPD. AUTO.
You get the wider wheels and tires .. bigger brakes.. and dynamic suspension modes. Essentially adjustable ride, better traction, and better stopping 👍
@@RacerX9 THANKS PRICED ONE OUT COST $50,000. HOPEFULLY THOSE WIDER TIRES AND WHEELS WILL ELIMINATE THAT FISHTAILING ACCELERATION/TRACTION PROBLEM. I STILL NEED A COMFORTABLE RIDE ON THESE BUMPY ROADS.
@@microminiskirt its better, whether its worth it or not is up to you.
They all have traction problems, ultimately the p zeros don't do it either, 20 sp wb in hellraisin. They work but will still wobble hard. I dont line up, but I wouldn't with them, all the way around you can rotate them tho. Thanks for the vid man.
I assume its the extra grip with the wider tires, but I can achieve 3.9-4.0 second 0-60s consistently in my 2020 widebody. All stock, including the tires.
The fastest 0-60 I got in a 2020 sxt rwd challenger was 5.9... pretty consistent with 6.3 tho
Im able to get a consistant 6.1 but my best is also 5.9
Yeah my 2018 sxt best I can get is 5.8
Sure glad I stuck with my s4. Was testing the waters on the challenger scatpack and rt but my s4 v6 supercharged is faster and quicker but it's awd. I understand scat and rt is rear wheel drive . I still love the challenger alot and am still looking to get one eventually. Challenger is my favorite muscle car next to a Ford Torino and Amex javelin. Great video BTW I'm still interested in the challenger line. Love them. Test drove the scatpack manual and auto. Like the automatic performance as it's shifts are faster than the manual. Cheers 🍻 👏 keep making them videos 📹
I just bought 2022 black on black sxt challenger 3000 miles , had windows and sidemarkers tinted black , 20 inch black wheels 6 cyl plenty for me , car looks great all blacked out love it
Sounds awesome dude.
Great video! This is why most SXT/GT owners skip past the RT and upgrade to a scatpack. The difference between 3.6 and 5.7 isn’t worth the price tag. I’m consistently pulling 5.8 0-60s in my SXT.
Yep very true that’s why I’m jumping straight into scatpack when I’m done with my v6.
I have a GT charger, stock tires and everything. I pulled 6.0 for 0-60mph, 6.4 for 0-100km/h. I was wondering if your SXT is RWD or AWD? Is it stock? Thanks!
I bought my charger GT 2019 used at 13k km, so around 8500miles used. For around 25k usd, if I can find a good challenger R/T used for abit more within the next year or two, where I add around 4000$, I would definitely do the upgrade for myself. However, it would be tough to find a RT challenger here in Canada, especially with dealer margins, looking more like 6000-7000$ used add.
That is a good jump, however the jump from a V6 to an R/T statistically is a bigger jump than going from a 5.7L R/T to scat pack. So the R/T might surprise you and is still a good buy if its cheap enough. I went from a modded 14 ram with about 450-460hp to a stock 15 R/T challenger. The challenger is definitely quicker. Granted the ram had the 6spd auto, 4x4, and 3.55 axles, but the 5.7 is definitely nothing to scoff at.
@@Plexusvids RWD Challenger, only mods are Borla exhaust and Hellcat intake.
I belong to quite a few groups on Facebook. Best stock 0-60s I've seen anyone post are 4.7 for an R/T and 5.5 for a V6. But the average is probably about 5.3 for the 5.7L and 6.1 for the 3.6L.
i've hit 4.8 on my 2020 rt a few times...I have the shaker and it was a nice cool morning when I pulled it off
@@mattmurrayrocks thats really good. But you also have to remember that those times on the screen might not be perfectly accurate. But still 4.8 is a number I've seen people post before so I don't doubt it. Best on my car is 5.0 and I did a 5.5 without even knowing the car as it was the 2nd time I drove it.
@@timmypstyle it's hard to imagine the timer on the dash being off..with that said, I've tried a few times to top that 4 8 and just can't...and shifting myself it's actually worse lol...and I haven't used the launch yet (just haven't been in enough empty space to give it a go)
As someone who started with an 18 sxt to a gt and now an rt the difference is definitely there. I love the rt. It’s got the sound I was missing. Didn’t know the gts could have super track pack. That’s awesome. Sxt got 6 seconds exact and rt is at 5.5 now
Do you think its worth going from a 2010 v6 to a newer gt or would it be better just to spend the extra money and go for the v8?
@@matthewsmyth8815 if you want the sound and extra performance and to keep your decent gas mileage go for the rt. The sxt is a great car if you want the looks and gas mileage. Obviously v6 to v8 is a difference but it wasn’t as much as I had hoped and ended up getting a scat pack a few months ago. It’s a pig, gas prices are at an all time high and I get about 14 in the city but it’s so much fun. It really comes down to the balance of practicality vs performance you are looking for
@@matthewsmyth8815 or you could wait and see what dodge does with their new inline 6 twin turbo engine. It should be going into chargers in the next few years. 400 hp for the standard and 500 for the high output. It will also be much easier to mod since it will be a boosted car if you are into modding
I just bought the GT Friday love it
I'm getting 5.1 with my R/T but its also well broken in with 60k miles on it. All in all though I just love the looks of the challenger no matter what model it is!! There all fun!
That thing had to beat up, try other one with low mileage
I’m with ya.. 5.1 is solid for an RT on the street
When I had my RT I would also hit 5.1 consistently with 275s on the rear.
The best I've been able to do is 5.0 a few times with a perfect launch and good air (during the winter here in FL). Most of the time it's in the low 5's, though. I've always felt it had another tenth or two left in her, but it's been elusive.
I get 5.9 on my v6 sxt plus
I'm a proud owner of a 2016 Charger R/T
But always HellCat dreaming. But I went from a Dart SXT to Charger R/T and everytime i pass a non V8 car, i feel so good lol!
I just traded my 300 S V6 for AWD 2014 charger RT PLUS. I love it. It came with Corsa Extreme exhaust.
You shouldnt. There are some V6 cars that will smoke that RT
@@icem that's true, and a Tesla will also smoke a HellCat so, yes there are faster cars but also our cars are faster than others too
Should do a video - if you already haven't - comparing the autos to the mannys. I've managed to pull a 4.9sec 0-60 with my stock r/t 6spd with an upgraded Barton short throw.
However I'm sure this would probably come down the gearing with the mannys having that 3.09 final drive. Would still make a good video tho 🤷🏻♂️
how does the hellraison compare to the plum crazy? can you notice a big difference?
Racer x i have a charger daytona 345 it runs a 5.3 0-60 i wonder do that cold air intake matters u should do a video
4.9 for my 15 challenger with the auto 5.7. 5.0 all day consistently. This guy can't drive.
@@JohnJones-cg2xm wat mods
@@just_a5.7 No mods. The transmission is incredibly fast, and if you can keep from spinning 5.0 is not too tough to get, but I do get a lot of 5.2s. Never did nearly as bad ad 5.6 or 5.7. The racer x guy doesn't have the car in sport, so yeah, the trans will lag in normal mode. So that's a start. Looks like he either can't drive, or is trying to push the Scat pack which is crazy fast. I would get a scat pack if I could do it over, they are a lot of fun.
I can't seem to locate specs. regarding the rear axel ratio in a 2020 R/T. My question however is this: did the R/T tested here have a 3.07 rear end, optional with a package in 2022, or a 3.90 anti-slip rear end, standard equipment in a 2022 R/T?
Somebody have a fun job! :) And my favorite car is still an Challenger 1971! And now as older (65 ) i must say the Kia Stinger is my favorite! Good video anyway!
Great Video! Turned out like I thought it would. Thought the RT would have spun those 245s more than it did!? Anything less than a 275 usually goes to "Spin City"!!!😃👍
These cars can be tough to hook up from a dig.. this car only had 7 miles on too.. so the tire still have that oil on them 👍
305s work well for me and has an aggressive look
@@jayyisbeastmode2487 how big do the rims have to be to fit 305s?

I have a 2019 GT. I got a 4.7 0-60 in manual mode. It was cold that day which helped some. I've never been able to come close to it again. Been at 5.4 a couple of times but cant get back below the 5 mark.
My uncle has the scat pack 50th anniversary widebody as well but his is the orange color. Thing is so nice
what’s more fun to drive and is faster, the challenger GT or sxt??
My best in my GT AWD is a 6.3 before I added upgrades.
I've got 6.0 in the regular GT V6
Did you got automatic or you use your flaps?
@@brock87___63 automatic. Though recently I did paddles and hit 6.1.
your times for 0-60 are quite shocking. I had a 2018 SXT challenger rental that did a 0-60 in 6.0 seconds rather consistently. When I rented an R/T with the 5.7L, I was getting 5.2 sec 0-60s. And I'm in the Las Vegas summer where the DA is 5000ish. I even have pictures of the on board timers to show friends that the lower trim level versions are still pretty quick. my scat pack challenger gets 4.2 sec 0-60s with my drag radials. these times are all based on brake boosting the car to around 1500-2500 rpm, depending on what traction allowed. the street really is the great equalizer. i have a friend with a hellcat that hasn't been able to get it under 4.5 seconds due to the traction limitations of that 275 tire. so when i saw my 5.2 second 0-60 time with the 5.7L Hemi, i was quite surprised.
Yes lots at variables in this test
I was actually thinking the same thing, I have a 2017 Challenger R/T and I consistently get 5.1 sec 0-60s and I still have the stock 245's on that bad boy.
I have a 2020 rt in the smoke show with the super trac pack option launching at 1600 hitting constant 4.9 on stock tires
15 R/T here. Literally base R/T. No paddle shifters, little 5 or 6 inch radio, etc. I bought it used but my first try in the car,which was 3 days after buying it and my 2nd time driving it, I got 5.5 seconds. Previous owner has a best of 5.0 recorded. Has the Firestone firehawk gt tires on it with stock size and stock wheels.
I will bet 99% you did not use a dragy. The built in timer there lacks accuracy.
My 2010 rt classic had a 0-60 timer built in. Got a 5.4.. not sure how accurate dodges timer is. Also had 275 Falken tires in the back
Great video, honestly I thought there would be a bigger difference
Traction control really hurts the 0-60 in the r/t. I’ve got a 5spd 2012 challenger r/t with upgraded summer tires and a few basic bolt ons/ tune I’ve gotten a 4.9 with a dragy on the street
Any basic mod suggestions? Recently got a 2010 rt classic and omg the traction control makes racing impossible 🤣
I have a 2020 challenger gt awd plus.. I hit 0 to 60 in 5.8 to 6 sec using launch control. Thats stock as well. Crazy how close
I have an sxt best time is 5.7. but inconsistent. These R/Ts on a good launch can go in high 4s bad launch mid to high 5s. While our cars on a band launch will do 6.5-7.
And that's because they come with skinny 245s. Throw some 275s and sticky tires and you'll be in the 4s all day
The v6 variant is really only a good choice if you’re looking for a year round rig running AWD. With studded tires it’s a monster in the snow.
Were the rear axle ratios the same?
Great vid. Still trying to decide between a challenger GT, RT, and tesla model 3.
Worth of note it would be a daily driver in new england. thus the consideration of GT(awd).
There all good except Tesla, lol but it really all depends on your budget. Challengers are expensive to insure so the V6 is good option for a daily driver for me to work
Model 3 bud, I have a 2020 sp wb in i guess one of the 70 hellraisins, lots of fun, 13 mpg of 93. I think its a flavor sort of thing, I weekend drive mine, no snow no rain. My other is a 20 year old camry, thats my daily. I swore i would buy a pickup when I traded my rt, but that raisin widebody plus caught my eye, do you man.
@@DarrylH1387 the challenger RT im kinda set on is virtually the same MSRP as the tesla model 3. Tesla is ugly but fast. Challenger is gorgeous but not as good in the snow.
@@alanlilly5004 the hellraisin/plum crazy is a big reason i want a challenger. I live in maine and there is literally no challenger on the lot that color in this state i can find.
The V6 times are close to last couple V6 cars I’ve driven. That RT was slower though, was seeing consistent 5.1s in last RT I drove.
Much depends on traction and DA 👍
Yeah I have a 2019 rt and I am getting a 5.1 too!
@@timomehrtens2232 me too
Not as much of a difference as I figured it would be. I'm more than happy with my SXT. Quick enough for anything I need to do, plus good mpg and cheap(er) insurance. Great video!
Pretty consistent 5.7's from the 5.7. Loving the vids. Subscribed....
People saying these times are slower than what you get need to realize that the dragy does not factor in roll out like a lot of the on board timers do. Can definitely account for a couple .10's. I do believe you can calibrate the dragy to factor in roll out tho
Great point.. similar to shallow staging at the track
Rollout is cheating 😂
When they make a V6 Turbo or a V6 six speed then I might be interested , Until then I will stay with my 94 Twin turbo a/w/d and a/w/s Stealth.
i just bought a 2018 R/T and the guy who had it before me had a best time of 4.8 0-60. pretty cool
That was epic!
Sound is too good on the v8's.
It’s crazy to think about how the dodge demon goes 0 to 60 in 2.3 seconds
Mine goes 2.0 on the track.. not too bad for a 4 door sedan.. the street is entirely different
Sorry to ask, can the wide body kit be put on any model or just the srt
Don't these cars have 0-60 timers built in to the gauge menus? I drove a 2020 sxt that had it. Just need to scroll through the menu (gauges) to find it.
I managed to do 5.8 in my 2016 SXT on many occasions, but usually it gets 5.9-6.0
People sleep on the 3.6 it’s basically almost as fast as the 5.7 just doesn’t have the sound.
@@jellyjam777false put 275 tires on R/T and you get 5 flat which won’t come close in v6
@@TheJwalk1234 lol I wrote that almost 3 years ago before I owned a 5.7 😂
@@jellyjam777 lol I just got at 5.7 so I been on car videos the past week straight 😂
@@TheJwalk1234 they’re fun af to drive lol since that first comment I’ve owned an 07 Charger RT with comp cams headers and tuned. Also a 17 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7 lol so I’ve became a lot more familiar with them and can definitely say they’re faster than the v6 😂 especially that initial torque.
