Feel like v6 is such a great balance. V8 takes so much gas and is so pricy already in a lot of ways. One day having a v8 will be great but I’m very happy with my 3.6 v6. Thanks for making this video I’m wanting to make the most of my ride!

I just wanted a AWD winter car and walked out with the biggest smile on my face and the keys to a GT. I definitely plan on getting a V8 one day, but for now I'll definitely be appreciating this thing!
My homie has a 2020 Dodge charger 4(awd) GT plus and it is honestly more versatile than the RT and if u can engine swap it with a hemi or hellcat crate motor you will have an AWD Hellcat
Thank you! I hate when people say “Don’t mod a v6 buy a v8”....I’d rather slightly mod my V6 and drive my car 365 days a year. I love my AWD especially when you live in a state that can get over a foot of snow on a nice day!! And no not buying a “winter beater” lol
@@RM-pz8zh that's exactly why I passed on a hemi. I live in a state that gets a heavy winter. Last winter truly settled any regrets I had getting the car. It is dreamy in the snow
Owned a "68" Dodge Coronet RT 440 when 16 and then a "69" Charger RT 440 Six Pack when 18 while in the Marines. Loved them both. About 50 years later, I grabbed a "23" Plum Crazy Challenger Black Top SXT and absolutely love it. Fast enough and sounds great. Thanks, Mopar!
Just modded my 2019 Challenger SXT, not trying to race V8s or anything like that, just didn't want a stock V6. It comes pretty restricted as stock and has a lot of potential to perform more efficiently. It's more responsive now with a ported 80 mm tb, Injen CAI, RIPP ignition coils with NGK Laser Iridium plugs, and a Borla ATAK catback exhaust. I just enjoy driving my car more now and doing the build on my car myself was half the fun! Thanks for the video RacerX!
Hello RacerX, many thanks for great content! Just run my first miles on 2020 Challenger GT AWD - what a beauty in all terms (feel, sound, power - for me, look, comfort), simply great classy cruiser. So glad & proud to be member of the brotherhood (even with the little V6). Greeting from the heart of Europe. Take care and keep up with your channel.
Sadly its in every car community. The ones that knock others are trying to compensate for personal short comings and are probably still in the high school mentality.
I'll never understand it. Those V6's are quality. Great engine! Everybody don't need a V8. Some folks are more than happy with a modded V6 and for good reason. More love and less hate!
Ive owned slow cars and fast cars.... if you are buying a sports car dont front like you dont want the big boy engine. If you cant afford it fuck it be happy with what you got but we know we all truly want the big engine.
@@ap1dot988 people can do whatever they want with their vehicle they own it you don't. They want to build up a v6 they can free country buddy. If you really feel threatened by someone doing it how about you worry about yourself.
Man it just boils down to not caring what others think. At the end of the day they’re not putting food on your table or paying for your car so their opinion doesn’t mean anything. Some of these people see having a v8 as an accomplishment which is ok if that’s the case, but are we here to just buy a v8 or are we here to enjoy life and be truly happy. Get what you like and what you can comfortably afford and have fun with it.
the v6 is light and cools down relatively quickly because it is made of aluminium. It has 4 valve technology, so it is efficient. There is more horsepower per liter compared to a V8. It is quiet on long motorway journeys and therefore very comfortable. Best engine Chrysler ever engineered. BR from Germany
First off thank you for this video! Pentastar V6 don’t get enough love. They have very good potential. I have a Hellcat, but have more fun driving my 300S with all the bolton’s you mentioned plus Hemifever tune. And my car is whole sec faster 0-60! It is really fun to drive! Keep pushing the great contents boss!
300 horsepower is more than enough to have fun with. Add in a nice exhaust plus intake system & you have a serious good performance car. I love the Challenger's retro American muscle style and character.
My 1.6t dogs tf out of this car 1200 pounds more than me is alot to move. 4200 pounds and 305 crank hp is not ideal according to every measure of physics .my car walked away from 60 .it wasn't even close
I enjoy my v6 Charger especially when it comes to the gas mileage especially when you have to work and drive around town daily. The car is fast enough for me my first speeding ticket was $1500 was over 125mph. If I really wanted to go fast I would have bought a corvette.
I drove the GT Challenger for a few years. Great car! But eventually you want more so it comes down to spending the money on mods or just getting the Scatpack or Hellcat and get the power you want stock. Again get what you can afford and enjoy it! Thanks for the videos X love the channel.
Exactly I thought going from my 99 Corolla to my 2019 sxt would be enough. And it was for a couple months! Until I saw a scatpack ROAR past me. I need a scat now 😂😂😂
Don’t worry the way congress has anything to do with it they are talking about stopping production of these v8 and the Diesel engines. Oh by the way the V6 chargers out sale the V8 all day long. Some enforcement division called these chargers chased cars.
16’ v6 Chrysler 300. Done the exhaust, cold air intake, tuned, throttle body, and couple other things. Love how it ended up. Can’t wait to have my first v8!
@@anthonyvasquez7050 In that text, I’m speaking on my own personal car and the mods that I have done to it. So yes, what I said applies to a currently still driven and modded 16’ Chrysler 300.
I love the V6 in my 2018 charger AWD GT, its not a race car but has good horsepower for what it is. I'm leaning toward getting the AFE closed intake, heard its better with heat soak.... thanks for all the great ideas. 👍
Thanks for the video, sir! Love the predictable “just get a V8” responses. Yeah, if they still offered an AWD V8 option many of us would. Good chunk of the country needs a daily that can handle snow and ice several months of the year. Looking forward to picking up a Scat Pack or maybe something faster once my AWD Charger is paid off. But that’ll still be my daily for much of the year due to weather.
I 100% agree! Just got the 2020 awd GT challenger and I love her! Had they had a v8 awd I would’ve snagged that but they sadly don’t, still doesn’t change how much I love my car!
my dream car is a hellcat, unfortunately due to money i can only afford a sxt.. i wish every car community supported their own brand even if it’s not a v8.
Had a few of these mods done and Procharger does/has offered a kit as MMX (Modern Muscle Xtreme) built mine a few years ago. They are a Great group of people there, much respect.
Yeah I was thinking about going with that exhaust but for now the next mod will be the ported intake and throttle body and I will soon post the install of the cold air intake soon on my channel
Awesome content. Thank you for touching on the 3.6 enthusiasts. Some decent gains can be made for what they are. You have to remember it’s over 2 full liters smaller than the next trim level.
@@Wins_And_Losses also the RT is 400 lbs more and I have tested and proved the challenger sxt, mustang ecoboost, and camaro RS will all beat the RT from a dig
@@charlesjordan7249 You didn't test nothing 🤣 An SXT isn't beating an RT from a dig you idiot 🤣🤣 That's like saying an RT will beat a Scat because the Scat is heavier 🤦♂️🤦♂️ Also a Challenger V6 is 305 HP crank which is about 260 (if you're lucky) to the wheels🤣🤣 stock for stock it will get ate by an RT 100 times outta 100.
@@Wins_And_Losses It's a different story against a aggressive tuned V6 with full bolt on, full exhaust and ported upper and PUG lower, it will beat a stock RT off the line, and can beat a stock RT in the 1/4 mile, you can gain upward of 50 to 60 HP on a good tune, so power will be right there with the RT, check out my channel, I have a tuned V6
This is what I appreciate about RacerX... he has videos about not modding V6s (cuz of power and actual “raceability” against v8s that aren’t stock) and also releases a whole ass possible mod list for us new SXT (v6) owners. Just got a ‘14 Challenger SXT Rallye Redline and this was a great starting point for looking at bolt ons. After modding the shit out of my past BMW Z4 I was looking for ways to make this heavy ass v6 dodge to feel more like a rippy v6 bimmer. Mad respect man keep doin what you do. Watching every vid now! PS He doesn’t rly hate v6s (clearly) so all those commenting that on the past vids y’all can shove it
Just seeing this video, few things ive found. AFE momentum is worth the money, think heat soaking, the intake tubing they use is heat resistant plastic vs metal. Keeps your air colder, and has an attachment for the headlight section removal. Big boz resonater replacement and a carven xpipe gives a good throaty growl.
The Pentastar is an excellent engine....it just needs a couple of turbos. The heads have in cast exhaust manifolds so there's no ability to add a traditional header. Add a couple of adapters and you could add some T3 or T4 turbos.
Absolutely fantastic video. Great content. With gas prices the way they are i'll stick with my v6. After all, I don't have to get there first but I'm gonna look good when I do arrive!! Lol
@@victorsalgado6767 throw out the paper filter and put a K@N high preformence air filter,will increase your throttle response immediately. Then a HellCat box with headlight hookup. You can pull a 5.4 with that alone. That's a inclosed cai for 150. Could get rid of your plastic and add some metal pipes.
V6 chargers are so slept on, obviously they don’t have all the power that V8s do but they’re still a good middle ground car for someone who wants a 4 door family car but also likes muscle cars
Great content, glad hear what options are out there for V6's, not so much for the haters on the V6's. to each there own, some want a V8 or can't budget for one, nice job on your reseach for the many options.
Bought a 2018 v6 f8 green charger with the black top package and i loved the car,it saved me so much in gas and it had great handling,2 months ago i got a scatpack ,traded the v6,i got the triple nickle, loving the car so much
CAI and cat-back are nothing but noisemakers. The 3.6 is low on torque, and could use a longer stroke (couldn't we all). A shorter gear might help, too, although finding a matching ratio for the front diff on AWD cars won't be easy.
V6s are awsome still in their own way . I had a Chrysler 300s v6 and a mustang v6 before I knew anything about engines and those cars were so badass to me and I'd get so many compliments plus they are quick . Now I have a 2022 Rt charger but I still appreciate the v6 . If it makes you happy buy it !
You Sir are very knowledgeable....and present a lot of facts... Excellent video... btw... I saw a yellow and black striped T,/A the other day... Closer inspection on the stripe it was a GT... It looked cool...
Bro I’m glad you mentioned afe power I got a 2019 Chrysler v6 😢 and I recently bought my mods from there intake, exhaust I just wasn’t seeing any reviews on afe
I started my RUclips channel with the 2013 3.6L Charger. I also said the 3.6L needs a catback exhaust, remove the stock intake tubing (very restrictive) to a straight tube, enclosed CAI, and get a tune. Thats all you really need. Dont straight pipe the 3.6L! 🙅🏿♂️🙅🏿♂️🙅🏿♂️ (ricer alert) haha. I went the extra mile on mines: -Pypes catback exhaust with streetpro mufflers -Airaid cold air intake with custom 4 inch straight tubing -Ported lower manifold intake by Overkill -80mm true throttle body by Overkill -Custom Diablosport tune by Overkill with 91 octane -Flowmaster dual exhaust tips -Air Intake silencer/resonator delete -Atturo AZ850 275/40/20 tires -20x9 SRT8 replica wheels
Been watching your channel for a min man. Your content definitely motivated me to mod my car. I got the same exact 2013 Charger SE you had & followed damn near all the mods you did lol ...That throttle body from Overkill was one of the best mods I did for my v6 charger.
@@josephmurillo5876 a few thousand later 💰 about 340hp. Just make sure not to go too far because you gonna be spending 5.7L money. 😏 Unless that's the plan, then I would say go Ripp supercharger and call it a day.
I drove a rental challenger sxt which has v6 on it and I couldn’t explain how fast that car was. I know v8 is more powerful and faster but omg a v6 is more than enough for you if you want to go fast in your daily drive and it’s affordable . 305 HP is not “low”. My Toyota Avalon 1995 has 120 hp and it flies , imagine a challenger v6 with 305 hp. Love your v6, I wish I had one :)
Liked the video. I usually watch your videos to learn more about the V8's cause I hope one day I can finally transition from the SXT to a Shaker model but at the same time I'd still rather lean towards the GT for the AWD capability. Here is to hoping that they will release a V8 AWD version cause if so then I guess I would be trading in again for sure. Was glad to see some love, even if just some small love though for the V6 Models and their mods that are out there though. I know there are at least two Facebook groups out there dedicated to the Pentastar V6 for sure. Love your Vids RacerX and the knowledge you put out here for all of us.
I just stumbled across your channel. (Funny thing...you and my brother look so very much alike! They say everyone has a twin somewhere.😃 Coincidentally my brother is a master mechanic as was our father. However, my brother moved on to repairing the mechanisms of large/huge equipment, but of course he's still great with autos.) I learned much from you today about my 2020 Dodge Charger GT. You have put ideas into to my head!😜 Anyway I want to thank you for your video and all of the information that you talked about. Have a great day and wishing that all is well with you and your family.🙂
Good to know. If I were buying the GT it would be for the AWD since it's not offered in the V8's. I test drove a 2018 GT and it was great, however, no exhaust note in a Challenger just didn't seem right. I would be fine with it anyway. As for the mods, I would keep it to an exhaust upgrade - I would need proof the CAI would add HP before investing in it. Mainly like BeefBravo1257's comment. New GT's with decent options are just a few thousand under a RT with the same options.
To anyone asking, the gt is basically a scat pack with a 3.6L engine. Give or take a few specifications. I’d recommend from experience the gt over the base any day! My best tip is just don’t buy a v6 dodge. Spring for the hemi you will be much happier, again speaking from experience. Edit: don’t get me wrong I absolutely love my v6. I’ve put almost 9k into it, and I beat the absolute piss out of it. Tank of a car. Not a bad car what so ever totally great car especially for a new car guy/ new driver.
I put a borla s type exhaust,and K&N CAI on my 2018 sxt challenger and it sounds great, I get compliments on the sound all the time! I really want to put a catch can in soon
Got myself a new '21 Charger SXT, already researching all these mods, for sure looking at cold air intake, and something like Borla or Magnaflow catback exhaust
Dont forget to mention the RIPP 180 Thermostat, its not gonna add any HP but it will improve the cooling of your engine, also when it comes to exhaust, go true dual, its amazing
2021 GT muffler delete Resonator delete , Big Boz exhaust with 5 inch tips . Just did it to my wife’s charger and was very surprised how good it sounds . I’m adding a cold air Spectre intake soon. I’ll put a small video on my page
The 24v V6 is a solid motor and delivers a respectable 300HP stock. Personally I would not buy a challenger with one but a Charger would be a good daily driver
I got the 2019 all wheel drive dodge challenger put a ripp supercharger on it and the dealership told me it didn’t void the warranty but it limited the drivetrain warranty by about half.
@@RacerX9 I love how Dodge says that it will not fit the V6. There are so many parts you can get from the other lines and it all fits. Just do your own research. I have a 2015 Challenger SXT.
What is the best way to get this to sound good? I love the challenger look. Don’t really care for the v8. I found a really nice 19 gt and want to have it sound nice.
with almost 400 pounds less weight than a 5.7 or 6.4 the Gt RWD will always handle better and with the 4 piston Brembos will suck your eyeballs out when you stab the pedal hard. Some basic upgrades like coils and fresh air, a good (Borla) exhaust and you'll have some good fun. If you REALLY want it to be a blast, swap in a 3.90 LSD and axles from a hemi car and hold on, because you're in for a helluva surprise. I did it in my previous 19 and it was a blast. The only drawback was that launching it from a standstill, it would rev limit in 1.st and 2nd before the trans could shift on it's own, so you have to practice. Getting on it from a roll was great. Now that you can get a trans tune done without breaking the bank, it's a great mod. I have another 19 GT now and have a 3.70 LSD I was able to find locally that I'll install when weather warms up some.
Great video. But be warned, once you start to mod your v6, it will make you want a v8 more. Just traded in my challenger gt for a 2021 camaro v8. BIG difference!
Me too I have the rearl wheel drive not all wheel drive but I dropped a k&n drop in air filter in it big improvement and I just put the hellcat air box with light hook up to it and can feel more. From 0 to 60 I went from a 61 down to a 5/8 with just the k&n air filter and since the hellcat air box it's been too wet spin too much
The GT 0 to 60 is rated faster than the RT I had an RT try to walk away from me the other night and I kept my front end in his trunk he was either too young or scared of it
@@dimitriassession2327 I took a 13 srt 6sp manual for a test and it was a lot of fun. But gas now days you would have to fill up three times a week with a higher octane and new tires every six month if your really gonna drive it. Plenty of fun with the GT and cruise all week plus they look great and 20's fit perfectly. Kind of a HellCat Demon mix with extras to boot. I had the V8's in the early eighties when fuel, parts and wheels were decent. And white letter tires made any beat up car/truck look decent. Looking for them now and you get some crayon's. Going to give them a shot and see how they last.
And one thing I've wanted to ask any and all Challenger owners. Does your outer head lights have a V shaped haze or roughed look in the middle of them. Mine has them on both outers and that would not be put on a new vehicle without a purpose. I have seen what it does but want to know if others do. Another Possible Easter egg?

Owned a "68" Dodge Coronet RT 440 when 16 and then a "69" Charger RT 440 Six Pack when 18 while in the Marines. Loved them both. About 50 years later, I grabbed a "23" Plum Crazy Challenger Black Top SXT and absolutely love it. Fast enough and sounds great. Thanks, Mopar!
Just modded my 2019 Challenger SXT, not trying to race V8s or anything like that, just didn't want a stock V6. It comes pretty restricted as stock and has a lot of potential to perform more efficiently. It's more responsive now with a ported 80 mm tb, Injen CAI, RIPP ignition coils with NGK Laser Iridium plugs, and a Borla ATAK catback exhaust. I just enjoy driving my car more now and doing the build on my car myself was half the fun! Thanks for the video RacerX!
can you show me your mods i just got a 2017 se
Hell yeah.. I'm saving up for a ripp supercharger
Do you still have it if so is it still running good?
Heck yeah!! V6 gang these vehicles have enough power to throw you back in the seat not as much as a V8 but more than enough to have fun 😊💪
Yea my top speed is 131 in my gtv6 I'm good with that lol
Huh? Where?
Yup

Hello RacerX, many thanks for great content! Just run my first miles on 2020 Challenger GT AWD - what a beauty in all terms (feel, sound, power - for me, look, comfort), simply great classy cruiser. So glad & proud to be member of the brotherhood (even with the little V6). Greeting from the heart of Europe. Take care and keep up with your channel.
Why can’t the mopar community just accept the v6 modded or not. You can do anything to the car since it’s they own personal car
Sadly its in every car community. The ones that knock others are trying to compensate for personal short comings and are probably still in the high school mentality.
I'll never understand it. Those V6's are quality. Great engine! Everybody don't need a V8. Some folks are more than happy with a modded V6 and for good reason. More love and less hate!
Ive owned slow cars and fast cars.... if you are buying a sports car dont front like you dont want the big boy engine. If you cant afford it fuck it be happy with what you got but we know we all truly want the big engine.
@@ap1dot988 people can do whatever they want with their vehicle they own it you don't. They want to build up a v6 they can free country buddy. If you really feel threatened by someone doing it how about you worry about yourself.
Man it just boils down to not caring what others think. At the end of the day they’re not putting food on your table or paying for your car so their opinion doesn’t mean anything. Some of these people see having a v8 as an accomplishment which is ok if that’s the case, but are we here to just buy a v8 or are we here to enjoy life and be truly happy. Get what you like and what you can comfortably afford and have fun with it.
Grabbing my sxt soon not a v8 but I'm happy I'm finally grabbing my dream car since I was a kid 😌 a 2018 challenger I'm really excited
the v6 is light and cools down relatively quickly because it is made of aluminium. It has 4 valve technology, so it is efficient. There is more horsepower per liter compared to a V8. It is quiet on long motorway journeys and therefore very comfortable. Best engine Chrysler ever engineered. BR from Germany
First off thank you for this video! Pentastar V6 don’t get enough love. They have very good potential. I have a Hellcat, but have more fun driving my 300S with all the bolton’s you mentioned plus Hemifever tune. And my car is whole sec faster 0-60! It is really fun to drive! Keep pushing the great contents boss!
300 horsepower is more than enough to have fun with. Add in a nice exhaust plus intake system & you have a serious good performance car. I love the Challenger's retro American muscle style and character.
Agree
well I got cold intake - it doesn't add any hp, like 7-10? a joke.
I have a 2020 300s...in sport mode the car is fast...get up in the 4500-6000 rpm range and its a rocket....plus gets 25+ mpg. Safe on insurance to...
My 1.6t dogs tf out of this car 1200 pounds more than me is alot to move. 4200 pounds and 305 crank hp is not ideal according to every measure of physics .my car walked away from 60 .it wasn't even close
@@scottferguson9198 help me I got yo money
Thank you for lookin out for us v6ers!!!
I enjoy my v6 Charger especially when it comes to the gas mileage especially when you have to work and drive around town daily. The car is fast enough for me my first speeding ticket was $1500 was over 125mph. If I really wanted to go fast I would have bought a corvette.
$1500??? Wtf
Mine was $707 on 97mph
$291 92 mph , no license guess it’s cheaper in Texas
@@jordanacree6355 damn I was just complaining about my 40 speeding ticket
200k on my 2013 charger V6. Runnin like a champ, I don’t miss a oil change.
I drove the GT Challenger for a few years. Great car! But eventually you want more so it comes down to spending the money on mods or just getting the Scatpack or Hellcat and get the power you want stock. Again get what you can afford and enjoy it! Thanks for the videos X love the channel.
Exactly I thought going from my 99 Corolla to my 2019 sxt would be enough. And it was for a couple months! Until I saw a scatpack ROAR past me. I need a scat now 😂😂😂
I'd love to, but I need AWD lol
@@ryanmartinez3500 literally me but I had a camry instead😂😂😂
lol dudes trying to keep from getting burned again by the v6 community
thank you for checking out the mods for the pentastar cars though 👍🏽
Don’t worry the way congress has anything to do with it they are talking about stopping production of these v8 and the Diesel engines. Oh by the way the
V6 chargers out sale the V8 all day long. Some enforcement division called these chargers chased cars.
16’ v6 Chrysler 300. Done the exhaust, cold air intake, tuned, throttle body, and couple other things. Love how it ended up. Can’t wait to have my first v8!
solid set up for sure
Does the mods mention here apply to the V6 Chrysler 300 ?
@@anthonyvasquez7050 In that text, I’m speaking on my own personal car and the mods that I have done to it. So yes, what I said applies to a currently still driven and modded 16’ Chrysler 300.
I love the V6 in my 2018 charger AWD GT, its not a race car but has good horsepower for what it is. I'm leaning toward getting the AFE closed intake, heard its better with heat soak.... thanks for all the great ideas. 👍
For those who don't know you can buy the borla ATAKcatback exhaust for your 3.6 I bought it and took it to a shop and there was no issues
What’s are the benefits??
@@heroineson9119 better sound and I believe somewhat performance as well?
The pedal commander is great I can just say! The lag is little to none on sport, And I love it!
AGREED!!!!!!!
Thanks for the video, sir!
Love the predictable “just get a V8” responses. Yeah, if they still offered an AWD V8 option many of us would. Good chunk of the country needs a daily that can handle snow and ice several months of the year. Looking forward to picking up a Scat Pack or maybe something faster once my AWD Charger is paid off. But that’ll still be my daily for much of the year due to weather.
Yes weather can certainly play a big part in which car you should get
I 100% agree! Just got the 2020 awd GT challenger and I love her! Had they had a v8 awd I would’ve snagged that but they sadly don’t, still doesn’t change how much I love my car!
Same here man👌🏻🤩. That’s my plan anyways. Have a gt challenger awd so far
my dream car is a hellcat, unfortunately due to money i can only afford a sxt.. i wish every car community supported their own brand even if it’s not a v8.
As long as it makes you feel good while driving it is all that matters
Had a few of these mods done and Procharger does/has offered a kit as MMX (Modern Muscle Xtreme) built mine a few years ago. They are a Great group of people there, much respect.
I've done the k&n on my 2020 charger gt and I love the way it sounds and reacts now
Good stuff 🤜🔥
I added the Injen CAI and Borla ATAK to my ‘18 Challenger GT and love the change.
Yeah I was thinking about going with that exhaust but for now the next mod will be the ported intake and throttle body and I will soon post the install of the cold air intake soon on my channel
Im
Getting mine soon💪🏾
My boy talking so fast like the people off storage wars😂
I've been waiting on someone to do this, glad you were the one to do it. Very informative
Thanx for showing love to the v6ers out here! Some ppl jus can’t afford the higher ones and gotta make do with what they can
Awesome content. Thank you for touching on the 3.6 enthusiasts. Some decent gains can be made for what they are.
You have to remember it’s over 2 full liters smaller than the next trim level.
Not to mention 133lb ft of torque less than an RT also.
@@Wins_And_Losses also the RT is 400 lbs more and I have tested and proved the challenger sxt, mustang ecoboost, and camaro RS will all beat the RT from a dig
@@charlesjordan7249 You didn't test nothing 🤣 An SXT isn't beating an RT from a dig you idiot 🤣🤣 That's like saying an RT will beat a Scat because the Scat is heavier 🤦♂️🤦♂️ Also a Challenger V6 is 305 HP crank which is about 260 (if you're lucky) to the wheels🤣🤣 stock for stock it will get ate by an RT 100 times outta 100.
@@Wins_And_Losses It's a different story against a aggressive tuned V6 with full bolt on, full exhaust and ported upper and PUG lower, it will beat a stock RT off the line, and can beat a stock RT in the 1/4 mile, you can gain upward of 50 to 60 HP on a good tune, so power will be right there with the RT, check out my channel, I have a tuned V6
This is what I appreciate about RacerX... he has videos about not modding V6s (cuz of power and actual “raceability” against v8s that aren’t stock) and also releases a whole ass possible mod list for us new SXT (v6) owners. Just got a ‘14 Challenger SXT Rallye Redline and this was a great starting point for looking at bolt ons. After modding the shit out of my past BMW Z4 I was looking for ways to make this heavy ass v6 dodge to feel more like a rippy v6 bimmer. Mad respect man keep doin what you do. Watching every vid now!
PS He doesn’t rly hate v6s (clearly) so all those commenting that on the past vids y’all can shove it
Thank you my friend
Just seeing this video, few things ive found. AFE momentum is worth the money, think heat soaking, the intake tubing they use is heat resistant plastic vs metal. Keeps your air colder, and has an attachment for the headlight section removal. Big boz resonater replacement and a carven xpipe gives a good throaty growl.
Thanks for showing the V6 owners some love. Definitely noted 📝.
@RacerX you're the GOAT for sending me a link to this one last night!
The Pentastar is an excellent engine....it just needs a couple of turbos. The heads have in cast exhaust manifolds so there's no ability to add a traditional header. Add a couple of adapters and you could add some T3 or T4 turbos.
Absolutely fantastic video. Great content. With gas prices the way they are i'll stick with my v6. After all, I don't have to get there first but I'm gonna look good when I do arrive!! Lol
I own a 2020 challenger gt and i love it. It keeps up pretty well w all the v8’s especially with mods
Nice! What mods you got on them so far? Ive had my 2020 Charger GT stock for about a year and im looking to start upgrading.
@@victorsalgado6767 throw out the paper filter and put a K@N high preformence air filter,will increase your throttle response immediately. Then a HellCat box with headlight hookup. You can pull a 5.4 with that alone. That's a inclosed cai for 150. Could get rid of your plastic and add some metal pipes.
V6 chargers are so slept on, obviously they don’t have all the power that V8s do but they’re still a good middle ground car for someone who wants a 4 door family car but also likes muscle cars
Great content, glad hear what options are out there for V6's, not so much for the haters on the V6's. to each there own, some want a V8 or can't budget for one,
nice job on your reseach for the many options.
11.3:1 compression ratio is wild. But glad to see love being shown to the v6
Bought a 2018 v6 f8 green charger with the black top package and i loved the car,it saved me so much in gas and it had great handling,2 months ago i got a scatpack ,traded the v6,i got the triple nickle, loving the car so much
That’s a nice upgrade 👍
Great content on the v6's. Much love to all v6 trims, but go buy a Scat Pack if you want power lol
Yessuhh I went from the 5.7 to the 6.4💪
Can’t all afford a Scat as much as we’d like it 😂 I’m gonna enjoy my v6 til i can climb my way up tho 😆
Just to be clear I am not a v6 hater. My first sports car was a Buick Regal ttype turbo v6. Bought it when I was 18 and still have it.
I enjoyed my v6 but you’re right grinding now to get my money right
It’s crazy when ppl flat out say this lmao get what you want and if you want to build it up, then do that
CAI and cat-back are nothing but noisemakers.
The 3.6 is low on torque, and could use a longer stroke (couldn't we all).
A shorter gear might help, too, although finding a matching ratio for the front diff on AWD cars won't be easy.
Another great video, thank you RacerX!
For sure brother 👍
Thanks I just picked up a V6 for my oldest daughters will be doing some of these and a purple wrap for her
I just purchased the 2022 Challenger-Smoke Show, V6😁😁😁😁
V6s are awsome still in their own way . I had a Chrysler 300s v6 and a mustang v6 before I knew anything about engines and those cars were so badass to me and I'd get so many compliments plus they are quick . Now I have a 2022 Rt charger but I still appreciate the v6 . If it makes you happy buy it !
You Sir are very knowledgeable....and present a lot of facts... Excellent video...
btw... I saw a yellow and black striped
T,/A the other day... Closer inspection on the stripe it was a GT... It looked cool...
That burnout was actually pretty cool
Bro I’m glad you mentioned afe power I got a 2019 Chrysler v6 😢 and I recently bought my mods from there intake, exhaust I just wasn’t seeing any reviews on afe
Racer X great video loving all the great content on this channel thanks for the information on how to mod my SXT Dodge Challenger.
Go Niners!
I started my RUclips channel with the 2013 3.6L Charger. I also said the 3.6L needs a catback exhaust, remove the stock intake tubing (very restrictive) to a straight tube, enclosed CAI, and get a tune. Thats all you really need. Dont straight pipe the 3.6L! 🙅🏿♂️🙅🏿♂️🙅🏿♂️ (ricer alert) haha.
I went the extra mile on mines:
-Pypes catback exhaust with streetpro mufflers
-Airaid cold air intake with custom 4 inch straight tubing
-Ported lower manifold intake by Overkill
-80mm true throttle body by Overkill
-Custom Diablosport tune by Overkill with 91 octane
-Flowmaster dual exhaust tips
-Air Intake silencer/resonator delete
-Atturo AZ850 275/40/20 tires
-20x9 SRT8 replica wheels
Been watching your channel for a min man. Your content definitely motivated me to mod my car.
I got the same exact 2013 Charger SE you had & followed damn near all the mods you did lol ...That throttle body from Overkill was one of the best mods I did for my v6 charger.
@@darronthemastodon dope! Glad you got some power out that bad boy! 🤝🏿
wow all these sound like a lot of mods I definitely wanna mod my Charger sxt 2018 , where did all this land you though in terms of horsepower
@@josephmurillo5876 a few thousand later 💰 about 340hp. Just make sure not to go too far because you gonna be spending 5.7L money. 😏 Unless that's the plan, then I would say go Ripp supercharger and call it a day.
I drove a rental challenger sxt which has v6 on it and I couldn’t explain how fast that car was. I know v8 is more powerful and faster but omg a v6 is more than enough for you if you want to go fast in your daily drive and it’s affordable . 305 HP is not “low”.
My Toyota Avalon 1995 has 120 hp and it flies , imagine a challenger v6 with 305 hp.
Love your v6, I wish I had one :)
That Challenger weighs 4,000lbs though
Liked the video. I usually watch your videos to learn more about the V8's cause I hope one day I can finally transition from the SXT to a Shaker model but at the same time I'd still rather lean towards the GT for the AWD capability. Here is to hoping that they will release a V8 AWD version cause if so then I guess I would be trading in again for sure. Was glad to see some love, even if just some small love though for the V6 Models and their mods that are out there though. I know there are at least two Facebook groups out there dedicated to the Pentastar V6 for sure.
Love your Vids RacerX and the knowledge you put out here for all of us.
For sure buddy.. no worries
Glad you made this video , I have a Scat Pack but I spend more time daily driving my 300S
300's make a great daily
Bought 22 challenger SXT yesterday 3.6 , 3500 miles , black on black
My man. Thanx for the support bro and the info
absolutely
i know hellcat owners who remove the decals and set their car to look like a V6... for safety, among other reasons
What about the break pads lol they can’t hide those 🤣🤣🤣🤣
wow thanks for the heads up !!! just wild !!!
Another great vid Racer X. Those super charger options look pretty great. High end boost and low end boost. Choices!
Thanks buddy.. much appreciated. At least a couple of options there
I just stumbled across your channel. (Funny thing...you and my brother look so very much alike! They say everyone has a twin somewhere.😃 Coincidentally my brother is a master mechanic as was our father. However, my brother moved on to repairing the mechanisms of large/huge equipment, but of course he's still great with autos.) I learned much from you today about my 2020 Dodge Charger GT. You have put ideas into to my head!😜 Anyway I want to thank you for your video and all of the information that you talked about. Have a great day and wishing that all is well with you and your family.🙂
Very nice informative video R-X,Thank you.
Good to know. If I were buying the GT it would be for the AWD since it's not offered in the V8's. I test drove a 2018 GT and it was great, however, no exhaust note in a Challenger just didn't seem right. I would be fine with it anyway. As for the mods, I would keep it to an exhaust upgrade - I would need proof the CAI would add HP before investing in it. Mainly like BeefBravo1257's comment. New GT's with decent options are just a few thousand under a RT with the same options.
The v6 is a great option for those who require AWD
I have a 2020 Charger this helps bc I wanted to be different and get my own V6 and within budget .Thanks this helps !
Fav. Video so far I have a v6 challenger this video helped out so much!!! Didn’t know where to start and where to go very much needed !!
This was great bro thank you ❤
To anyone asking, the gt is basically a scat pack with a 3.6L engine. Give or take a few specifications. I’d recommend from experience the gt over the base any day! My best tip is just don’t buy a v6 dodge. Spring for the hemi you will be much happier, again speaking from experience.
Edit: don’t get me wrong I absolutely love my v6. I’ve put almost 9k into it, and I beat the absolute piss out of it. Tank of a car. Not a bad car what so ever totally great car especially for a new car guy/ new driver.
I put a borla s type exhaust,and K&N CAI on my 2018 sxt challenger and it sounds great, I get compliments on the sound all the time! I really want to put a catch can in soon
Got myself a new '21 Charger SXT, already researching all these mods, for sure looking at cold air intake, and something like Borla or Magnaflow catback exhaust
Dont forget to mention the RIPP 180 Thermostat, its not gonna add any HP but it will improve the cooling of your engine, also when it comes to exhaust, go true dual, its amazing
2021 GT muffler delete Resonator delete , Big Boz exhaust with 5 inch tips . Just did it to my wife’s charger and was very surprised how good it sounds . I’m adding a cold air Spectre intake soon. I’ll put a small video on my page
This is a great video, thanks so much for making it
The best is change the rear gears to SRT 3.92s. From the stock 2.62 or 3.09's.. Good for full sec off your 0- 60 mph times.
Damn good to know

Nice content on the 3.6 👍🏽
Thank you my friend
Thanks for sharing the v6 info, much appreciated
Great video buddy 👍
Thank you my friend
Best exhaust I’ve heard was my buddy’s charger gt Big Boz exhaust. Hard to make them sound decent.
Could u ask him what he bought to make it sound decent bc i dont wanna make it loud loud just sound good
The 24v V6 is a solid motor and delivers a respectable 300HP stock.
Personally I would not buy a challenger with one but a Charger would be a good daily driver
I got the 2019 all wheel drive dodge challenger put a ripp supercharger on it and the dealership told me it didn’t void the warranty but it limited the drivetrain warranty by about half.
I got a K&N Intake for my Charger. Looks very nice. Highly Recommend.
Thanks for the V6 tips!
Thank you so much! This is gonna help a lot
This video was amazing 💯 thank you
I have installed hellcat cold air intake system, oil catch can, paddle commander, straight piped it. It’s way faster and responsive
CAI on a naturally aspirated engine decreases your performance. Proven fact.
I bought a airbox from a hell cat. Dropped right in and bolted it in. V6 with a hellcat airbox.
Mopar did a great job with that design
@@RacerX9 I love how Dodge says that it will not fit the V6. There are so many parts you can get from the other lines and it all fits. Just do your own research. I have a 2015 Challenger SXT.
But what increased on ya car now that u added that?
What is the best way to get this to sound good? I love the challenger look. Don’t really care for the v8. I found a really nice 19 gt and want to have it sound nice.
Great video break down for what is available for the 3.6L.....! Very useful!
much appreciated
Amazing video brotha. Found out about headers not being an option after my purchase 😆
Diablo T2, cold air, 20"staggerd, ripped coils. 2013 so no unlocking pcm 15 and up lol
Awesome! So glad you made this video!
Always great information bro
Thank you Robert
Love the videos you know your stuff respect
with almost 400 pounds less weight than a 5.7 or 6.4 the Gt RWD will always handle better and with the 4 piston Brembos will suck your eyeballs out when you stab the pedal hard. Some basic upgrades like coils and fresh air, a good (Borla) exhaust and you'll have some good fun. If you REALLY want it to be a blast, swap in a 3.90 LSD and axles from a hemi car and hold on, because you're in for a helluva surprise. I did it in my previous 19 and it was a blast. The only drawback was that launching it from a standstill, it would rev limit in 1.st and 2nd before the trans could shift on it's own, so you have to practice. Getting on it from a roll was great. Now that you can get a trans tune done without breaking the bank, it's a great mod. I have another 19 GT now and have a 3.70 LSD I was able to find locally that I'll install when weather warms up some.
Great video. But be warned, once you start to mod your v6, it will make you want a v8 more. Just traded in my challenger gt for a 2021 camaro v8. BIG difference!
SS?
Yup just get a V8 and keep it stock
@@carguy0389 LT1 It has the body of the v6, with the v8 under the hood. Picked up the redline edition.
Idk why but I feel like you lying bc no one says I have a camaro v8 when You could’ve just said you have a SS lol
@@BigDasher1 kinda what I thought lol
I own a 2020 Dodge Challenger GT and love it.
Me too I have the rearl wheel drive not all wheel drive but I dropped a k&n drop in air filter in it big improvement and I just put the hellcat air box with light hook up to it and can feel more. From 0 to 60 I went from a 61 down to a 5/8 with just the k&n air filter and since the hellcat air box it's been too wet spin too much
The GT 0 to 60 is rated faster than the RT I had an RT try to walk away from me the other night and I kept my front end in his trunk he was either too young or scared of it
@@ronniecochran396 yeah people are sleeping on the GT
@@dimitriassession2327 I took a 13 srt 6sp manual for a test and it was a lot of fun. But gas now days you would have to fill up three times a week with a higher octane and new tires every six month if your really gonna drive it. Plenty of fun with the GT and cruise all week plus they look great and 20's fit perfectly. Kind of a HellCat Demon mix with extras to boot. I had the V8's in the early eighties when fuel, parts and wheels were decent. And white letter tires made any beat up car/truck look decent. Looking for them now and you get some crayon's. Going to give them a shot and see how they last.
And one thing I've wanted to ask any and all Challenger owners. Does your outer head lights have a V shaped haze or roughed look in the middle of them. Mine has them on both outers and that would not be put on a new vehicle without a purpose. I have seen what it does but want to know if others do. Another Possible Easter egg?
I just got a v6 Chrysler 300. I will mod it of course. I found jet stage 2 plug in tuner.
