Does a Challenger belong on a race track? (First track experience)
In this video I take my Dodge Challenger R/T to a road course track for the first time! A huge shout out to Track Junkies at Radtorque Raceway for a great experience!
A couple things to keep in mind, I do have suspension mods done to my car, including Hotchkis front and rear sway bars, Eibach Pro Series lowering springs, and great tires among other mods. While this doesn't represent how a stock R/T would do at a track, swaybars, springs and tires are pretty simple mods that can be done relatively inexpensively to drastically improve your Challenger's handling characteristics.

How to Maintain Your Challenger/Charger/300.
Mustangs don’t make less torque because of DOHC. It’s literally is the smaller Displacement. For example Toyota and Nissan truck V8’s both make peak torque sooner than their 5.7 Hemi and 5.3 GM pushrod competitors. Sam car legion is also awful at driving Mustangs.
Great Content, not only fun, but very educational, and work on skills. I think that would be a great Racing Course with my Challenger Scat Pack, though I have the TF 8 Speed. Track Mode! lol
This is awesome! I just bought a 22' RT 6 speed and want to take it to a road track. I am located in Central Texas and haven't researched a location for a track yet. Keep these vids coming!
@@regul8or198 do it, you’ll have a blast!
I forgot how good that stock shift knob looks in the car. I put the Barton pistol grip that's color matched plum crazy in my 2013, while it does look and feel amazing. That stock knob just matches the rest of the interior and still looks awesome.
In my experience, driving very fast but heavy cars is a nightmare if you are surrounded by lighter and less powerful cars. Extra early braking, very slow cornering speeds and really sketchy exits. Sure, it's a rocket on straight track but it's not designed for tracks. Muscle cars are straight line only vehicles. However, if you can scrape together a muscle car race, it's very exhilarating.
@@theseventhgeneration6910 it’s definitely a different experience for sure, but honestly they do great on a track. Challengers are definitely not common out there though. I will say it’s not uncommon to see Challengers on road courses passing Miatas and WRXs consistently. Cars that are generally regarded as great track cars. You are 100% bang on though, you have to adjust braking and cornering speeds for the car you’re driving. Thanks for checking the video out! 🙏🏻
No because dodge corporation does not enter challenger or charger in competitive racing while mustang does enter gt3 class. Dodge used to enter vipers in gt3.
@@apocolypse11 I mean, sure but gt3 cars don’t resemble factory cars really at all. As far as picking up a Challenger from a dealership and being comfortable bringing your car to the track and keeping up with the pack, they do just fine. I agree though, the Challenger is definitely different from the Mustang and Camaro, and Dodge leans into it and embraces it. Makes the Challenger stand out in the segment.
Awesome video! I want to start having as much fun with my challenger as you do with yours! You really let that car wear the R/T badge with honor 🫡

@@captainboose8788 do it, it’s so much fun!
Love this video! I plan on watching it again when I'm not getting ready for work at the same time.
@@GoodKong.BadKong 😂 🙏🏻
It seemed that 3rd gear was good for the course. I found myself gripping the chair while watching it the first time. I have not done any "Road Racing" since I was in my 20's. I was part of our University Sports Car Club and we would set up courses in the parking lots on the weekends where we would burn up our tires LOL. How did the instructors find the Challenger as you slithered through the course? I bet there weren't too many cars that had the sound yours did 😁😁
Yessir, I left it in 3rd gear for most of the course aside from late in the biggest straightaway, where I needed 4th for a second. The one chicane in turns 12-14 right before the last straightaway I could’ve shifted to 2nd coming out of it, but I was worried about upsetting the balance of the car, so I left it in 3rd and used the torque to pull me out of the end of the combination. Honestly I had lots of great reaction to my car there! The instructors I had made comments about how they were surprised how well it handled, and I had no real problem keeping up to (and at one point passing) WRXs out there and the one gentleman in the Porsche 911, although I don’t comment much on it in the video because honestly we’re all learning in this, I know we could all shave time off of our laps, but for a car that’s not supposed to be able to turn, my Challenger had no real problems keeping up with the pack especially against cars that are supposed to be great choices for track cars. Made it more fun in a way.
@@TrackPackRT Awesome track day. I enjoyed it almost as much as if I were there!!
Great video! I took mine to a road corse a long time ago and had a blast! It was a lot of fun but hard on the brakes, especially the way I drive.😂 You did great! Looks like you had a blast too! 💪
That’s awesome I didn’t know that! It was super fun! Definitely demanding on the brakes, although with the manual gearing to help slow the car probably made it a little easier on them. Having said that, I should probably change my brakes! Haha Thanks Don! 🙏🏻
Great instructional video for first timers like myself. This video has given me confidence in attempting road course racing. Nice job... Nothing like driving a manual in road course racing. Think about it... You're like a conductor for a symphony... You have to know when to accelerate proportionally, brake proportionally, when to turn in and out all the while shifting correctly. The beauty of a manual. Quarter mile racing is fun, but road racing is the next level utilizing all the tools at your disposal. Looks like you had fun. Best part was taking your lovely wife around for a few laps. Nice to have someone you love to support your 'idiosyncrasies' ...
@@bschubarg that’s a nice compliment, and I’m glad I could convince you to give it a try! Honestly it was so much fun! I often had people gathered around my car to check it out, they said they’re not used to seeing many domestics there, and especially not Challengers. I could never buy a Challenger without the manual, it really is so much more fun and engaging. On the track it can really shine, but I found I rarely shifted aside from the one straight away because 3rd gear was ideal for most of it. I could’ve shifted into 2nd into the one chicane but at the same time I was worried about upsetting the balance of the car at that point in the turn so left it in 3rd which wasn’t too bad either because of the torque I have. Even watching back now there was so much more time I could’ve cut off my lap times in places, but it was such a good experience and I learned so much! Do it, you’ll have so much fun!
Very cool! I have been able to take my Challenger to Road America in Elkhart Lake, WI. Great times! I have a few vids of my shenanigans
@@pwdrhnd23 sounds like a blast!
Nice ride brother I have a 2022 5.7 challenger with less than 10k miles. It’s cool that you’ve had your challenger RT for such a long time your videos are the reason why I chose the 5.7 in particular. How’s the car and the engine held up over the years? Is there any mechanical problems I should look for in the future and preventative maintenance?
@@premiumdiecast5674 engine is great! And car in general really, aside from stuff I break at the drag strip (snapped axles, snapped subframe diff mount) is great! Probably the only annoying thing right now with it is rev hang I get with the cam, but that’s pretty minor, and I can reset it pretty easily. Other than that the car has been great! Sounds like you got a nice ride man thanks for checking out the channel!
Hell Yeah!!! I was waiting for this!!!
@@BBDragon66 🙏🏻
Cause with all these R/T foos who don't know how to drive. It's easy to show them taillights... Driving is skill, not just slamming your foot to the floor.
It all comes down to gears …… the rear end
@@stevensilvas1986 years later I’ve raced a lot of Scatpacks and SRT 392s at the track, beat a lot of them, but I have yet to come across another manual to take the transmission variable out of the comparison. I’m still curious how it would shake down.
Are you going to add the 392 intake and try the 392 Charger again? That would be interesting. I did everything you did but I added 392 intake, 425 whp dyno tuned on dynojet dyno.(I also have a manual).magnaflow 3" hi Flo cats,srt manifolds with stock hellcat exhaust and hellcat lower airbox.I HAVNT RACED ANYONE.
@@stevesutton9200 nice work those are some great numbers! For now I’m leaving my intake stock as I have a real urge to replace it with an aftermarket one that makes a funny whining sound if you get my drift. Haha
Yes,I too want the whine soon.probably procharger since I went with the 392 intake.id like a magnuson though.
Where did you get it tuned after?
Dyno tuned with Chris at player3 performance tuning.
I have a cadillac Ats-v that have already beaten them both !🤷♂️ I J S !
Good running engine. Strong and reliable. I got 325k miles from my '07 3.6 V6 Chrys 300 Touring. Have 119k on my '18 3.6 300 Limited. Great platform. Looking fwd to several more years out of this one. 👍
This video deserves more likes

Just wanted to say thank you for introducing me to Chris. He definitely knows what he's doing as he helped me tune my Dodge Charger SRT8 after the same hrt stage 2 cam installation.

Cheers!
@@richey1794 that’s amazing! Definitely a task to take on yourself as a project, well done! Chris really is a great dude. Enjoy your new and improved ride! Cheers! 🍻
I have a 2021 Warlock 3.6 ❤ it
It truly is a great engineered engine in terms of durability. I bought a 17 SXT Challenger 5 years ago, put over 65,000 miles of burnouts, 1/8 miles passesand track days, overheated it 8 times lol, and my dad is currently using it as his grocery getter after all the mistreatment. I got me a WK1 SRT8 Jeep to replace it, but the 3.6 Pentastar is one of the best and most reliable engines I’ve ever had. Especially coming from someone who at one points tried to blow it up in hopes of 392 swapping the challenger but life happens lol. Amazing video btw, very well put together.
The original 6 cyl used in the first Challenger was the 225 Slant Six, not V6 like you mentioned.
@@kevinvoyer5053 yea definitely a bad slip of the tongue there. 🤦🏼♂️
I have 23 scat pack charger, 6 piston brakes. No performance mods all stock except for catch can as far as engine. What tires do you recommend for regular street driving? I don't race on a track or race people in the streets. I do enjoy the car myself and get on throttle at times, never in eco mode mainly in sport with traction on street lol. I respect the car and I respect I'm not a professional driver, but I can handle the car when it gets sideways at times. Looking for an excellent performance all season tire balanced wet/dry handling. I don't really drive in the rain, but just in case I get caught in it. Scat pack is mainly driven on the weekends. 2020 VG charger GT is the every day driver. Thanks
I have a 2019 Pacifica with the 3.6 and have 269k miles on it with no major engine problems. Yes the oil cooler cracked and was replaced under warranty. But that it as far as the engine problems go. Yes I've had other issues like the cross under pipe and lower motor mount . Front and rear suspension plus countless brakes but it's still going strong.
Which cam grind would you recommend for a 11psi procharged build? Currently full bolt ons 620 tire e85. I’m looking for some extra mid to top end charge.
@@igloo_coupe I’m definitely no expert when it comes to the intricacies of cam grinds, but I do know that Comp has an HRT supercharger cam series, and the higher you go in their stage kits the more the cam will be suited to more top end in the rpm range. I’d give it a look!
Slant Six guys are reeling that you compared the 225 to a pentastar
And that I called it a V6! Worst slip of the tongue ever! 🤦🏼♂️
What about the lifter/rocker arm issues???
Just wanted to say every time I search for info on installing these things, everyone is like “oh I don’t want to bore you with the simple details” or they gloss over the literal things me (and other beginners) are looking for If you’re not gonna be “condescending” can you at least not assume everyone knows what they need to know and give the beginners some direction of where to get started? The assumptions in the videos are really annoying and it’s why I’ve yet to dive into messing with cars. If more experienced people think you’re condescending for giving information (can always say “skip to x if you already know this”) then fuck them. They’re obviously too good for everything to begin with and have no reason to watch your video.
@@AnthonyLoPrimo I will say that my install videos have never really been meant as a complete step by step install guide with every tool and every possible thing you’ll need covered to do the install extensively. Whether it’s these scoops, headers, cam install, exhaust, they’re meant to by a pretty comprehensive overview from a guy who has a little bit of automotive ability but is mostly going in blind on these installs and trying them out for the first time, so that people who are in a similar boat as I was can see what’s involved and maybe gain the confidence to give it a shot themselves. While I don’t cover absolutely every minute of the install in these videos for obvious reasons, I always leave myself very available to answer questions and give advice for anyone out there who’s having problems, whether that’s here in the comments or through Instagram DMs. I really do believe in the culture of a great automotive community and helping each other out. That’s what makes the hobby great.
The 3.6 does get a lot of hate. They are fairly decent motors and fairly reliable. But they’re far behind the times which isn’t always a bad thing. Its good that power is still considered impressive today because the 3.5 2gr-fse from Toyota/Lexus is considered underpowered by many but was making that power back in 2006 and is still used today. My 2007 GS350 has 313K miles and still has more power than I know what to do with half the time. Hopefully dodge keeps their 3.6 long term.
Great job!
🙏 Thank you!
Auto scats are the best. More gears, faster shifts, the manual clutch on scats are STIFF.
The torque converter really gives it an advantage at the drag strip. Much easier to pull great 60’ times in an auto vs the manual.
@@TrackPackRT True that, honestly I do believe these cars shine as autos, it helps reel in and make up for the weight of the car. They have the highest top speeds due to the higher horse powers but in the mid ranges they don't shine as much as they do at digs and top outs.
This is a great review! I have a 16 Ram with the 3.6 pen. I'm more than happy with this engine and truck. The power is always there for what i need. Oil chang every 6k. At 175 km on it's running strong. Absolutely great truck for a do it all type of vehicle.
Did you ever make it to a road course to see how it feels? I wore out a set of new tires in a weekend back when I was in college in the University parking lot course we set up. I had to drive on threads for a while until I could afford some new tires again LOL. Wasn't too bad, the tires weren't made for racing and the sidewall edges wore out quick on my 1978 Sunbird LOL. Sad thing was I had already paid to go to a real road course race weekend at Summit Point WV the next week and couldn't risk blowing out the tires. Got to hang out with friends and watch the fun though.
Not yet but I’m working on it! I actually can’t wait to hit up the road coarse so I can try out some other new stuff I now have on the car! Too bad about your tires, they aren’t cheap so I get it! Next time maybe.
Did you add the cam or the entire Cam kit with the springs and pushrods and valve seats and all that good stuff
@@cortstahl6043 got the kit with the keepers, valve seats, valve springs, seats pushrods cam and phase limiter. My car doesn’t have mds lifters, but I went ahead and bought new lifters from dodge for the install anyway.
I’ve had no Mechanical issues with my 2015 Grand Cherokee Limited, but have replaced oil Filter Housing 2 times, First time it leaked oil and the coolant sensor went bad, second time the oil pressure sensor went bad. I replaced it with the updated Aluminum one at 140K and replaced Original Spark Plugs and coils since I had everything apart. While changing the spark plugs one coil boot had oil on it , so replaced all the spark plug tube seals too. If I had taken it in the repairs would have been in the thousands. I did it myself and probably have around $500 for both repair/Fixes. I run BG EPR every 4th oil change and put a Baxter Filter housing on it to prevent dry start ups. I would like to buy a new vehicle, but can’t justify $1000 a month payments, when this vehicle has been paid off since 2018. Overall this is a Pretty good engine, would have been great but for the oil Filter housing Design.
@@SilentBob1932 yea that oil cooler is the biggest annoyance with the 3.6.
Thanks for debunking the common issues. Did you use RTV OR add a gasket to the headers ?
@@RayRay-ct4od use factory metal gaskets, RTV would smudge and leak when you are trying to line up the headers.
The problem with the scat pack is power to weight ratio. Dodge doesn't know how to build a car.....
I think the reason the Challenger stands out so much and is so popular is because it's what the Mustang isn't. If it was small like the Mustang it wouldn't have the same appeal. Having said that shedding some pounds is a positive thing, but hard to do, especially with newer safety regs that came out and added a lot of weight to newer cars.
I have a 3.6 ram 1500. Has enough get up and get for me. I can pass people with out a problem. Haul heavy loads and tow my fishing boat without a problem.
