Bludini 727 lmao did this guy really say that? 😂😂😂 yo good for u, don’t listen to weirdos like this “What? Your car is still in working condition? Smh you must be driving too safely 🤦🏽♂️😭”
I had an SRT392 in Canada. The $100/week in gas can be an issue for some people, also the factory tires that melt off in a summer or two can be expensive to replace. This is why I think you always see a bunch of them for sale when they are only a year or two old, people didn't consider the running costs of them. Don't forget 20" snow tires and wheels if you are going to run it in the winter, that'll run you at least another $2000+. And I haven't even talked about mods yet. They are much more expensive to run and maintain than a normal car.
@JamesC. Taylor True the gas mileage isn't bad when cruising down the highway in 4cyl mode but the problem is when you get off the highway and goose it, you just lost everything you saved lol And yes, in theory they are no more to run than some V6 German car that requires premium and probably gets worse mileage, at least that's what I tell myself. (Shopping for a new Camaro SS right now to be used as a 365 daily)
It's ways around that cost. all season tires 1st off. 2nd the faster you drive the faster the gas will go.....hmmm oh and 3rd no showing off. people see what you have.
I have a 2015 Charger Scat Pack, so far I only spent 2 tire sets $990 each using Continental Sports 255/45/20 and $2100 (labor included) on the brakes (Using Single piece MOPAR rotors and Brembo pads), keep in mind if you want the multi piece rotors are about $700 the pair. I highly recommend you get the parts yourself specially on the holidays (you will get good discounts) As of now I have about 64K miles and use it as a daily driver, MPG AVG wise I get from 18-21 on a 50 mile drive to work (Traffic included), other ppl I've seen they get 23-24 So far the Engine runs great although I just started noticing some kind of knocking this past week but it goes away as the engine runs, I will get it checked on my next oil service as I found some older 5.7 Hemi's have issue with the Camshafts, I haven't heard this applies on the 6.4L Hemi
I want a 2012-14 SRT8 but don’t know if I should pull the trigger i need to daily drive it and don’t know much about the motors when it comes to reliability
Just did the diff fluid on my scat. For years it would groan at low speed turning and thought it was just normal. Finally read up about the friction modifier in the rear end not being added from factory. Just changed mine and man its night and day! Sounds great now. Wish I read about it when it was under warranty. Regalrdess it was like 150$ Also I'm at 80000kms and still on factory breaks.
03basesedan more prevalent on MDS equipped vehicles.... not very common as it was with earlier 5.7/6.1 HEMIs as their was a TSB issued for the 5.7/6.1s
@@7s29 I didnt say that MDS is solely responsible for lobe scoring, i am just saying that it seems like it happens more often on MDS vehicles, as MDS does nothing good for the engine, it just drags certain cylinders piston rings and slows down valvetrain operation in those cylinders, as i have never seen any TR6060 powered Challenger with a cam failure.
I have a 2018 Challenger R/T Scatpack. Excellent vid, really informative about what I can look forward to. I changed my diff fluid from stock Dodge ATF-4 to Lucas 75-90 Transmission & Diff fluid at 26k and glad I did. I have a Manuel Tremec 6060 and the old fluid was Jet Black, but no metal shavings. 😎
If I should become an owner, I'll be wrenching on the car myself as much as I can. I especially don't plan to spend $600 on a brake change when I can do it myself. Oil/filter changes, same thing.
Then definitely don't get the 6 pistons. Even going with aftermarket powerstop products it's still like 800 alone just for pads and rotors. The 4 pistons are much cheaper, as they are one piece rotors. The 6 pistons have 2 piece rotors. If you go with official brembo products to replace, it's WELL over 1000 for 6 pistons, not including any labor.
You can use Power Stop Z23 or Z26. Both work great with little to no brake dust. Amazon or Summit Racing has them. I use the Z23’s on my Challenger Hellcat.
I've had 3 srt8's 392 2009. 2012 and 2017 the 09' and 12 both' had camshaft issues by 80k. My LS engines all been minor issues like 02 sensor MAF sensors etc one is 118k the other 213k.... 2015 f150 5.0 had oil sensor issue so far at 92k miles. So my experience. I have had several others vehicle's as well without much issues. I keep up on maintenance and do any mods , recalls or fixes asap.
breaks depends on how you drive and where you drive most. i own a 2007 f350 with 240 thousand i changed the pads at 140 thousand but mostly highway . The challenger srt8 is 2012 but it hasn't made 5000 kilometers yet . I doubt very much i will need to look at break pads in that car for a good 20 years yet or longer.
In my 2012 challenger srt8 392 I had a lifter that failed at about 93,000. I have also had fan blades break apart and pierce the radiator twice, so I have replaced the radiator twice. It feels a little tired also, I'm am at 123,00.
I got a 2012 300 srt8 with 117,000 miles. The first problem and only problem I had was failed lifters. If u don't catch it early, it leads to the lifters shredding the cam! I'm now a victim of this issue which is huge because Chyrsler and Dodge is well aware of this issue after talking to techs that work on and build hemi motors. Yet they are not doing anything or extending warranties on it or recalling for these lifters. I just found out it is common with the 5.7, 6.1 and 6.4 motor. I won't know if I have more damage other than the lifters and cam until next week after my 6.4 is pulled from the car a opened up.
Gday mate, how did you go with these issues? I'm looking at a second hand 300 also 2012. The only thing that is worrying me about buying one is the lifter failer.
I’m in the same exact situation I just had my lifters and cam replaced and my car still sounds wild so I’m gonna see if it needs fresh oil change or could be bottom end issue
@@nlmbquan5124 hey, check your crankshaft too and rod connectors, because once I had my engine opened up, I found out it all trickled down to the crankshaft too and connecting rods.

Took a 16 R/T out and I was pretty impressed with that 8 spd transmission. Problem was the price of the 15+ R/T and especially the 6.4 Scat or SRT8 versions. I found a 2014 SRT8 Challenger with the 5 spd and the car was almost $10K cheaper than the cheapest Scat I could find, a 2015 only 1 year newer. I ended up going 2014 SRT8. The 5 spd looked alot better on paper at that difference of price. I didn't want the 6 spd as I drive a 15 spd manual all day for work and rowing just doesn't hold the same attraction to me anymore. I know the 6.4 isn't bullet proof though. A 2014 charger SRT8 I considered had a brand new motor put in at 145000 km. Apparently it dropped a valve. Passed on that one. I think alot of your commenters are not Canadian and don't realize how badly we get screwed on parts up here. I'll be looking for those low dust aftermarket brake pads from the U.S when it's time. There's no way they could be as much as stock costs up here.
A LIL SECRET 👀... running your car in Sport mode Daily will eliminate the MSD problem. When trying to be conservative and riding around using the four-cylinder mode🤦🏾♂️ then speeding up 😲eventually will bring you problems with the lifters believe me I know 💯 You must stay up on your oil changes also that will keep the lifters working in proper condition
Yes. Honestly, the issue is a bit over exaggerated in more recent model years. However, models with MDS (Automatics) do seem to suffer from more failures as compared to non- MDS (Manual Trans) models.
Theres the known lifter cam issue that the 5.7s and 6.4s suffer from. There are a lot of threads out there. Not sure how common these failures really are in the grand scheme of things.
Your DTE is calculated via your driving habits. The car records your miles per gallon being used based on what type of driving you are doing. Also, Highway driving on eco mode on level ground or downhill is 40+ miles per gallon. 2017 scat pack Challenger is my daily driver. Also have a 2015 sxt flex fuel Journey while rolling with the fam.
I may be a rare case but I found that my coolant was dropping little by little on my 16’ 392 over the course of 3 and a half years. Obviously I knew something was up by the 3rd time I had to fill with more coolant, I found the coolant which is supposed to be purple, looked like ‘chocolate milk’ which if you didn’t know means that oil is in the coolant. Most probable cause was that the head gasket was just about gone. I babied the hell out of the car and it pained me to trade it in :,( I’m gonna stay away from mopar for awhile and if I go back it will be 2005-2013 pre-fiat merger models. There’s no telling how much further dodge’s quality will go down after the Peugeot merger.
im contemplating which engine to get when buying a new challenger, I never plan on boosting it. What would you say is better between the 5.7 and 6.4 I'm leaning to a 6.4
I just totaled my 2008 SRT jeep and I'm thinking of getting a 2014 srt jeep that has 94,000 miles on it. What are some of the things I should be looking at on it
Damn ! Your getting screwed on the brake pads! I just did pads on my srt and all the pads (front and back) from brembo website for about 110 dollars! I dont know were your getting your pads but damn! Lol!
No crap, just replace them yourself, they are cheap and super easy to install! BTW, hemi knock has nothing to do with the engine internals, its just the manifold. As the vehicle ages the different metals and heat expansion can cause one or more of the bolts that hold the exhaust manifold on to break, and then when the engine is cold it'll cause rattling or a ticking sound since the exhaust manifold is no longer perfectly bolted down. It doesn't really hurt anything, but is an annoying "feature" of the 5.7 liter Hemi.
new to the challenger scene, but I have a 2011 Challenger SRT8, I was wondering do these typically run hot in hotter weather. My temp was running around 245-250 deg. f. I pulled over and let it cool down some but it was steady around this temp, and the temp outside was 90-94 deg f. anyhelp would be appreciated as I do not want to blow my engine
I miss my 2012 SRT....but I want the 2015-2018 SRT 392 Challenger...ah well, hope to get one next year spring. I know the 6 piston Brembo's are pricy, is there a way just to change the outside Ring? or are you better off getting a whole new front set?
Bizzenn1976 no 5.7 is definitely more reliable. The 5.7 is built to be daily driven, the 6.4 is very good too but it’s main purpose originally is just to be a performance engine
I previously had an 06 SRT Jeep. I traded it for the wife a Honda Pilot. The maintenance was crazy. I later bought myself a 16 Charger RT 5.7 new. More reliable, cheaper to build and make your own. So far, Borla exhaust, throttle body and intake. Headers , Hotchkis suspension and Hellcat wheels next.Plenty fast, and cheap to maintain sleeper. Also fully loaded leather, heated steer wheel, cool and heated seats.
John Alcala Not if you do it yourself, I swapped my lifters out this year with better ones. The problem with the stock lifters is that they don’t get enough oil up there to lube the needle bearings, my new lifters has oil pin holes for proper lubrication. $400, a nice Saturday, 12 pack of beer.
5400?? wow they fucked you hard bro. with that money you could of rebuild it put a sweet cam,head work, rebuild the valvetrain and headers with a tune. For a stock a hemi or LS engine i would of told them to fuck themselves. 5400 god damn
Igniz Keep your receipts. Buy their recommended parts and fluids. You save on labor AND getting supplies cheaper. They WANT you to go in so they can screw you on labor znd inflated part prices. Dealerships need to make money. Guess where they make most of it?
hi man . I did a Magnuson Supercharge(authorized dealer recommended ) on my (manual)SRT 6.4L challenger .it added 120HP . and then I test drive the 6.2 (manual)hellcat for comparison . I found out my 6.4 SRT392 with supercharge are way snappy ( faster ) for the first 3 gears then the 6.2 stock hellcat . I heard From BEN ( TH-cam mopper blogger ) he said it make sense . 6.4 Its faster then 6.2 hellcat for the first 3 gears .I feel like supercharge a manual 6.4 SRT its a NIRVANA for HEMI at this point .Whats your thoughts on that ?
lol my 2019 Scatpack only had 4600 miles on it and the upper valvetrain cylinder already went and is currently being entirely rebuilt as we speak... smh
Make sure it's under 30k miles , make sure its certified pre owned, check carfax, go through the digital system on the dash to make sure it wasnt raced. 😊 done.
@@bigmatt2896 The engines are good it's just electronic issues in FCA products pre-2014 are known to be annoying. Besides, low miles on any used car is a good thing.
Also please, how much more powerful the 392 feels compared to 6.1? Butt Dyno wise... Very rare cars in Europe so I can't just test drive one. Thank you.
David Mitchell the 6.1 has timing chain failure problems in the earlier gen of the Challenger and the 6.1 feels underpowered for a 6.1 later hemi. It’s not much different from a 5.7. However there’s lots of potential for a 6.1
the Hemi tick or a LS tick is the valvetrain thats how most overhead camshaft engines sound like a sewing machine. BUT when it's ticking loud it has nothing to do with overheating, its the MDS/DOD system killing these engines prematurely from lifter failure look at all the poor 6.2,6.0 LS engines and 5.7 and 6.4 hemis dying just for the sake of fuel effecciancy.
The 5.7 and the 6.4 is highly reliable because its naturally aspirated engine, those hellcats with those superchargers those are the ones to look out for, because if you have any issues with the Supercharger it will effect the performance of the rest of the engine. These engines are work horses and, look at the old Chevy Caprices and Crown Victorias of the past, those engines easily broke 300,000 and 400,000 miles as taxi cabs and cop cars, the Lincoln Town cars as well for limousine company's all naturally aspirated engines. Another thing people use high test V power gasoline, if you have a 5.7 or a 6.4 muscle car engine Hemi. Cheap gasoline, will overtime will prematurely kill a naturally aspirated engine, carbon tends to build with these engines over time if you use cheap gas, gas that doesn't have a high octane rating you should not drive one. Stick to a dodge Dart or a Dodge minivan or something. The Hellcat you probably can get 200k or 300k or more without modification or drag racing everyday.
"392/6.4L Hemi Problems/Maintenance Costs/Reliability and living with a SRT product" Spends the first 2/5ths of the video talking about fucking brake pads and gas
That's hilarious! This, my friend, is certainly not true. Simply put the 392's internals are much better than the 345...so so many guys on the forums have gone forced induction with no issues. I dont understand your logic
$850-$1000 for brake pads? Yeah, good luck with that. EBC brake pads are like a hundred bucks, for the good ones. I don't understand... There's this website called RockAuto, SummitRacing, Amazon... It's called capitalism and competition. Are these brake pads lined with crushed diamonds or something? And if you can't do the work yourself, you're really not a car guy. Let's be honest. Of course, I'm old and used to working on drum brakes and when disc brakes came along, it was like ,wow, stops better AND easier to replace the pads! But any man worth his salt can do his own oil change, brake pads, etc. What's next, paying someone to put AmorAll on your tires? lol
😳🤨 do what. lol you paid how much ? I hope you mean to buy ALL NEW add on. Not replacing your pads. It’s only $50-$100 a set. Front & back $160 tops and put them in yourself You got completely ripped off buddy. But don’t worry I’ve got some land I can sell you in Alaska

I think alot of your commenters are not Canadian and don't realize how badly we get screwed on parts up here. I'll be looking for those low dust aftermarket brake pads from the U.S when it's time. There's no way they could be as much as stock costs up here.
I have a 6.1 charger srt8 I’m thinking about buying a challenger 392
How is the reliability... do you recommend
;-; ASMR yes
Its a Dodge so electronic gremlins are the main problem with them.
I agree, affordable one of the best out
392s don't have the cylinder head problems that the 5.7s do
That problem was dealt with years ago.
@@curlylarrymoe is it?
A LIL SECRET 👀... running your car in Sport mode Daily will eliminate the MSD problem. When trying to be conservative and riding around using the four-cylinder mode🤦🏾♂️ then speeding up 😲eventually will bring you problems with the lifters believe me I know 💯 You must stay up on your oil changes also that will keep the lifters working in proper condition
What about the lifter and cam? Does the 6.4 have the same issue the 5.7 does?
Yes. Honestly, the issue is a bit over exaggerated in more recent model years. However, models with MDS (Automatics) do seem to suffer from more failures as compared to non- MDS (Manual Trans) models.
Theres the known lifter cam issue that the 5.7s and 6.4s suffer from. There are a lot of threads out there. Not sure how common these failures really are in the grand scheme of things.
Very
@@austinreed347 do you have a source for that?
How do you get 400km out of a tank when I fill up my charger srt it only gives me a little over 300 range
Your DTE is calculated via your driving habits. The car records your miles per gallon being used based on what type of driving you are doing. Also, Highway driving on eco mode on level ground or downhill is 40+ miles per gallon. 2017 scat pack Challenger is my daily driver. Also have a 2015 sxt flex fuel Journey while rolling with the fam.
I may be a rare case but I found that my coolant was dropping little by little on my 16’ 392 over the course of 3 and a half years. Obviously I knew something was up by the 3rd time I had to fill with more coolant, I found the coolant which is supposed to be purple, looked like ‘chocolate milk’ which if you didn’t know means that oil is in the coolant. Most probable cause was that the head gasket was just about gone. I babied the hell out of the car and it pained me to trade it in :,( I’m gonna stay away from mopar for awhile and if I go back it will be 2005-2013 pre-fiat merger models. There’s no telling how much further dodge’s quality will go down after the Peugeot merger.
Do u suggest buying a 2014 srt8 charger with 35000km. I m considering buying one in U.A.E. !
im contemplating which engine to get when buying a new challenger, I never plan on boosting it. What would you say is better between the 5.7 and 6.4 I'm leaning to a 6.4
Firecracker762 6.4 is where it’s at
Rodney McCaskill YEAH BABY (Austin Powers voice)
I do alot of highway miles and went 80k miles before changing my brake pads.
Would you recommend purchasing a used 392 with 80k miles?
How did you get your brakes to 30K? Mine are squealing at 10K
I just totaled my 2008 SRT jeep and I'm thinking of getting a 2014 srt jeep that has 94,000 miles on it. What are some of the things I should be looking at on it
Dont do it get a new one if u want one i own a 2019 srt jeeps are driven hard and 94000 is alot im sure its going to give u problems soon
Damn ! Your getting screwed on the brake pads! I just did pads on my srt and all the pads (front and back) from brembo website for about 110 dollars! I dont know were your getting your pads but damn! Lol!
No crap, just replace them yourself, they are cheap and super easy to install! BTW, hemi knock has nothing to do with the engine internals, its just the manifold. As the vehicle ages the different metals and heat expansion can cause one or more of the bolts that hold the exhaust manifold on to break, and then when the engine is cold it'll cause rattling or a ticking sound since the exhaust manifold is no longer perfectly bolted down. It doesn't really hurt anything, but is an annoying "feature" of the 5.7 liter Hemi.
Ill take your advice .I wanted the new one next year . but the scat packs and hellcats will be hella. Cheaper next year .
Not cheap now with the chip shortage lol
The opposite has happened my friend lol
What about 6.1L HEMI? I got one in my Challenger with 80k KMS and don't know much since we don't have those in France. It's Canadian export.
Hello. Tell me in the usa they sell used Hemi 392 with automatic transmission, on which sites can I find them?
Cars.com or Cargurus
new to the challenger scene, but I have a 2011 Challenger SRT8, I was wondering do these typically run hot in hotter weather. My temp was running around 245-250 deg. f. I pulled over and let it cool down some but it was steady around this temp, and the temp outside was 90-94 deg f. anyhelp would be appreciated as I do not want to blow my engine
Wow was hearing that noise for a wile and thought it was my diff but wasn’t sure now I am thank you
What noise was that?
Jason Leonard cracking in the diff
I miss my 2012 SRT....but I want the 2015-2018 SRT 392 Challenger...ah well, hope to get one next year spring. I know the 6 piston Brembo's are pricy, is there a way just to change the outside Ring? or are you better off getting a whole new front set?
I would just recommend getting a stick shift hemi they don't have mds so your cam n lifters won't fuck up like they would with a mds (automatic) one
How about the electrical system? I’ve heard that have issues with those. Also, would you say the 6.4 is a better choice than the 5.7 for reliability?
Bizzenn1976 no 5.7 is definitely more reliable. The 5.7 is built to be daily driven, the 6.4 is very good too but it’s main purpose originally is just to be a performance engine
I previously had an 06 SRT Jeep. I traded it for the wife a Honda Pilot. The maintenance was crazy. I later bought myself a 16 Charger RT 5.7 new. More reliable, cheaper to build and make your own. So far, Borla exhaust, throttle body and intake. Headers , Hotchkis suspension and Hellcat wheels next.Plenty fast, and cheap to maintain sleeper. Also fully loaded leather, heated steer wheel, cool and heated seats.
is there a break in period on the 6.4 jeep srt?
One burn out, and she's ready to go.
I hear that the Hemi clicking is a weak set of roller valve lifters where they actually chew up your cam. That's gotta be a super expensive repair.
John Alcala
Not if you do it yourself, I swapped my lifters out this year with better ones. The problem with the stock lifters is that they don’t get enough oil up there to lube the needle bearings, my new lifters has oil pin holes for proper lubrication. $400, a nice Saturday, 12 pack of beer.
That "HEMI TICK" is the roller lifters going bad,costing me $5400.00 to fix in a 5.7 hemi
Corey Smith $5400??? You mean they went bad and destroyed the whole engine for that price.
5400?? wow they fucked you hard bro. with that money you could of rebuild it put a sweet cam,head work, rebuild the valvetrain and headers with a tune. For a stock a hemi or LS engine i would of told them to fuck themselves. 5400 god damn
I didn't get it fixed yet,I'm planning a complete rebuild with a stroker kit and mds delete
Is hemi tick normal??
Might get me a scat pack widebody charger in the next 2 weeks !
Did you?
@@aljefferson6722 yeah got a black one
I have a Scat Pack Challenger and do the brakes, oil changes and small stuff myself. Dealer really does charge wwwaaaayyyy too much.
If you do maintenance yourself on a new car doesn’t that void the warranty ?
Igniz Keep your receipts. Buy their recommended parts and fluids. You save on labor AND getting supplies cheaper. They WANT you to go in so they can screw you on labor znd inflated part prices. Dealerships need to make money. Guess where they make most of it?
hi man . I did a Magnuson Supercharge(authorized dealer recommended ) on my (manual)SRT 6.4L challenger .it added 120HP . and then I test drive the 6.2 (manual)hellcat for comparison . I found out my 6.4 SRT392 with supercharge are way snappy ( faster ) for the first 3 gears then the 6.2 stock hellcat . I heard From BEN ( TH-cam mopper blogger ) he said it make sense . 6.4 Its faster then 6.2 hellcat for the first 3 gears .I feel like supercharge a manual 6.4 SRT its a NIRVANA for HEMI at this point .Whats your thoughts on that ?
I got question boss.what charger would you go with the 5.7 or 6.4 please lmk thanks ?
If ur thinking about getting the 6.4 just get it you’ll yearn for more power in the 5.7 even tho the 5.7 is good for most drivers
Right on Man !! T / A 4 life !!
How much do you think the widebody scats will be next year ?
lol my 2019 Scatpack only had 4600 miles on it and the upper valvetrain cylinder already went and is currently being entirely rebuilt as we speak... smh
K Preme yes and were you dogging the hell out of it day one.... Properly break it in? Hint: I already know the answer lol
@@dh4094 It already had 2400 miles on it when I bought it

Make sure it's under 30k miles , make sure its certified pre owned, check carfax, go through the digital system on the dash to make sure it wasnt raced. 😊 done.

Make sure it doesn’t have that many miles
@@jordanrosenberg9816 are they not good for the miles then?
@@bigmatt2896 The engines are good it's just electronic issues in FCA products pre-2014 are known to be annoying. Besides, low miles on any used car is a good thing.

You’re over exaggerating with the ads
Unfortunately Dodge/Chrysler isnt what it used to be.
You are right they are way better now expect.

Very rare cars in Europe so I can't just test drive one. Thank you.
David Mitchell the 6.1 has timing chain failure problems in the earlier gen of the Challenger and the 6.1 feels underpowered for a 6.1 later hemi. It’s not much different from a 5.7. However there’s lots of potential for a 6.1

Ive not had any problems at all with my 2017 392 in my challenger with 18,000 miles or trans.
the Hemi tick or a LS tick is the valvetrain thats how most overhead camshaft engines sound like a sewing machine. BUT when it's ticking loud it has nothing to do with overheating, its the MDS/DOD system killing these engines prematurely from lifter failure look at all the poor 6.2,6.0 LS engines and 5.7 and 6.4 hemis dying just for the sake of fuel effecciancy.
Coyote tick occurs as well, mainly in the 1st production run 2011-14.... but it’s not due to cylinder deactivation....
MDS has nothing to do with it. I know cars that have a gazillion miles with MDS, no issues.
@@JP-vf9yb That's because MDS doesn't cause your camshaft any issues, inferior components will cause it.
I agree with Wee Man. From a track driving standpoint, the stock pads and fluid are junk.
hey stipe. I'm looking to get a 2014 jeep srt. 43000km on it. anything i should look out for? any issues i should take care of before it starts?
alex l steering wheel issue
I want to get a 2019 challenger sp wb 392. Are they reliable?
Joe had mine for 6months no problems
The 5.7 and the 6.4 is highly reliable because its naturally aspirated engine, those hellcats with those superchargers those are the ones to look out for, because if you have any issues with the Supercharger it will effect the performance of the rest of the engine. These engines are work horses and, look at the old Chevy Caprices and Crown Victorias of the past, those engines easily broke 300,000 and 400,000 miles as taxi cabs and cop cars, the Lincoln Town cars as well for limousine company's all naturally aspirated engines. Another thing people use high test V power gasoline, if you have a 5.7 or a 6.4 muscle car engine Hemi. Cheap gasoline, will overtime will prematurely kill a naturally aspirated engine, carbon tends to build with these engines over time if you use cheap gas, gas that doesn't have a high octane rating you should not drive one. Stick to a dodge Dart or a Dodge minivan or something. The Hellcat you probably can get 200k or 300k or more without modification or drag racing everyday.
my uncle handed me down a 2015 r/t for my first car it has 33k miles... havent gunned it fully yet b/c my mom wont let me lol
Gotta give er sooner or later
Learn the car first especially if you’re a new driver. Be careful pushing it with rwd, life is a special thing
Don’t crash
Reliability is making it to 100k without falling apart!...not 50k!!
These motors are pretty tough
Joseph Gordon Levitt explains hemis.
Looking at a 2014 challenger srt8 for 30k flat with 9k miles on it. Is it worth it ?

"392/6.4L Hemi Problems/Maintenance Costs/Reliability and living with a SRT product"

Ikr and gas is one thing you shouldn't even think about cause ofc it'll drink a ton.
Since you’re in Canada can you hook me up with a deal on a srt Durango?
You can't supercharge a 392 with out forged internals. Remember that. Engine will blow. However the 5.7 can handle a supercharger no problem
That's hilarious! This, my friend, is certainly not true. Simply put the 392's internals are much better than the 345...so so many guys on the forums have gone forced induction with no issues. I dont understand your logic
Thats not true at all.
You do not want to run alot of boost ( maybe 8 lbs) but it will handle it just fine.
Pads only are $600??

$850-$1000 for brake pads? Yeah, good luck with that. EBC brake pads are like a hundred bucks, for the good ones. I don't understand... There's this website called RockAuto, SummitRacing, Amazon... It's called capitalism and competition. Are these brake pads lined with crushed diamonds or something? And if you can't do the work yourself, you're really not a car guy. Let's be honest. Of course, I'm old and used to working on drum brakes and when disc brakes came along, it was like ,wow, stops better AND easier to replace the pads! But any man worth his salt can do his own oil change, brake pads, etc. What's next, paying someone to put AmorAll on your tires? lol
