a manual 392 with SP, that should have the 3.92 rear end right? If so, man that has to scoot with all that torque. And trust me, I would love the SRT, but I am trying to stay below 30K out the door. And yes, there are some that still fall with that range, I just haven't gone to look at them yet.
The 6.1 Hemi (425 hp.) is a great engine. It first appeared in the 2006 Charger SRT and was the engine in the 2008 Challenger SRT. It lasted through 2010 when it was replaced by the 485 hp. 6.4. The change allowed Dodge to keep up with the competition.
Thanks. I was curious about the 6.1 because I found one where the sale ad said that it had all forged internals, so it got me wondering what the 5.7 and 6.4 have.
Man, so many models. I just came across an ad for a T/A 392. I like that scoop better, and the CAI through the headlights is a great idea. 6 piston front calipers and 2 piece rotors. Very nice. Only found one manual for sale so far though in a manual, and that was on Carvana.
I don't know about the pre-2015 cars, much. The old automatics with only 5 speeds were not something I would like, The new 8-speeds are more world-class, especially with fuel mileage. If you want a manual, check out my thread on clutches and transmissions. Lots of junk you can easily avoid. It's why I put it there. https://www.challengerforum.com/thr...d-save-money-and-frustration.7076/#post-38138 Then, whatever brakes you want will determine your wheel diameters. Also, the more upscale the car you get, the more features it will have, making performance modifications more effective. Research and shopping are among my favorite things. The purchase part is arrived at after long and thorough research, and thus, I can continue with confidence. The interiors of the post-2015-era cars, to me, just look spot-on, and classical, with no need for changes, but I'm not everyone. The Hellcat feels like home to me, now, and I don't want anything else. I know automakers do this, giving the top-line stuff subtle little cues that make it feel more high-quality, so even if you don't need some of it, it's still part of the experience you don't want to do without. Also, I avoid cars with automatic-emergency-braking and adaptive cruise control. I don't want a mylar aluminized balloon drifting across the road making it so my car tries to put me through the windshield. I also don't sign up for Big Brother monitoring my car. "One point has been revoked from your license." is not a scenario I want.
I like it much better than the nasal whine of the IHI. The IHI, to me, sounds like it is screaming, in comparison. The TVS-X 3100 sounds a lot more like a Spitfire or a P51 going by, to me. Reminder: it is far higher-pitched to the listener due to the very high Doppler-effected approach speed. Internal combustion will never die, no matter the current political fashion.
