- With the volume of questions about the 6.1 l on an uptake,. I thought that I would revisit this topic.I may do this from time to time. , revisit topics that I've discussed before with my latest impressions or thoughts on the subject.
Those early srt8 or even r/t classics just draw a different level of nostalgia that the newer cars don’t. An older man is gonna walk right past the hellcat and just start drooling over one of those 2008-2014 cars at a car show
I'm 28 and those were THE modern mopars that i love!
You are right, I like the new stuff but nothing like 08-14.
I’ve been a Mopar fan
since 1968. The Mopar enthusiast seems to prefer factory original cars. It won’t be too many more years before the 6.1 cars will be more special as people realize that they ushered in a new era. I remember when I first saw a 2008 SRT8 Challenger Hemi Orange Pearl. It had a pistol grip manual and it brought back every memory I had from the early Mopars. Sad to see it all end because of politics and stupidity.
Yep you got it brother
That’s a 09 brother I own a 2008 first edition challenger and they where all automatic 5 speeds the first year unfortunately
I think today getting a 6.1 and modding it is a bargain deal compared to buying a newer scat or rt
As the owner of a highly modded 5.7 I wont get rid of, I'd love to have a 6.1 manual as well. So many barely used Challys out there.
I agree 100%, if I ever bought a 6.1 Challenger, I would leave it pure stock.
Just got a 6.1 with only. 11k miles on it. Love it.
It would have been cool if they brought back the 6.1 for the “Last Call.” Hell, they did it for the other variants that were deemed “one year production” cars. Great information as always Professor B!💪🏽
That would be cool but would sadly cost them billions to do
@@flicksifyr6793 True. Dodge is probably going out of business so why not?😂
@@x4tfxChallenger Haha yea the Hemi was the only reason why dodge exists today. I feel like there gonna find a way to bring it back tho. I think that last call was all just a market scheme to sell the last cars on this generation. If they announced the next gen for 2025 nobody would buy the 23-24 models. Always a possibility.
Owned since new 2010 Challenger SRT8. I love all the upgrades made by the factory to the Challenger since, but I've left mine stock and have put 75,000 happy trouble free miles since. I'm 61 now, and I'd love a Hellcat, and my wife has encouraged me to consider it, but realistically I'll enjoy them from afar (Behind?!).
Love my 6.1 after this video thoughts of modifications left my mind somewhat
My daily driver is an '07 WK1 Jeep SRT8 (Stockish). The raw power from a dig never gets old.
I own a 2010 srt challenger.6 speed , plum crazy. I love it
I absolutely love my ol 6.1 M6; I have been dying to throw a choppy cam + headers into it, possibly eventually a 426 stroker, but time will tell; the intake is so badass 💪💪💪
Took her to the strip and ran consistent 13.3s in around 1200 DA
Amazing video man. Wouldn’t trade my 6.1 for anything. Glad Holly and others finally have a good upgrade platform for those who wanna go deeper. Yea no joke it’s a pretty penny lol!
Love your breakdown vids brother been following you before I even decided to buy my 09 Charger srt8 four years ago
Have an 09 SRT8 Challenger 6.1 w/ 28,000 miles 6 speed; 3" exhaust stainless from the headers back, with intake and a tune. The 6.1 is a fantastic beautiful engine, and is all top end power. Have two friends with 09 challengers R/T with eagle 5.7. The eagle 5.7 w/VVT will keep up until the 6.1 until above 4k RPM. Then the 6.1 walks away esp with the higher red line. However my gripe with the engine is that below 3k RPM is doesn't throw you back in the seat like the new VVT hemis,, you gotta let the 6.1 really breathe to get it pulling. With this small gap between SRT8 vs RT challenger in 09 didn't justify the price difference. Which is why I think SRT brought the 392 to the table.
Great video!!!!
Mine is definitely a lot of fun! Have it straight piped and its crazy loud when i stomp on it
Stock boost with mid muffler delete.
Forgot to mention the 300c srt8 which was the fsster model out of the 4.
I own a clean 2008 b5 blue SRT 6.1 and I loved this video
I got a 2006 6.1 dodge magnum I love it
Just picked up a manual 2009 Challenger SRT8 WITH 16500 mi. I can't stay outta the thing! Getting at least a corsa xteme, kooks longtubes and a cam!
Sometimes it was a dog very slow but sometimes lots of power a bit of a let down.
I have a 6.1 in my 73 Dodge Challenger all stock but have not really one complaint
It should be noted that even though both the 6.1 and the 426 from the late 1960's are rated at 425 hp - that hp rating for the 6.1 is NET and the hp rating for the 426 is GROSS. The NET hp rating for the 426 is 350 hp.
I will buy a grand Cherokee srt8 6.1 tomorrow 👀
@Best Songs ...I see those things running 8's at the track all the time... with an 88mm single turbo
@@ghostrt1608 👀
@@bestsongs8926 yeah, high 8's ... 8.7, 8.8... 8.9 seconds, on the regular
@@ghostrt1608 crazy 👀
I own. A 2007srt8 your right keeping it stock as you say it's a rear model now it does run after the famous 426 so it think with dodge crysler coming to a end this car will have value just like holden v8s of Australia now the factory has closed the value of the cars are rocketing in price value
That 6.1L Hemi V8 can also be bored and stroked into a 426 Gen III Hemi V8 as well.
@CJ Colvin ...and a 440 cubic inch stroker too... CNC Motorsports has them on their website & I think Arrington still carries them as well and the 440 short block package
@@ghostrt1608 Very nice
Yep agreed with the "leave it alone", cold air intake, slap on some Flowmasters, all done, my 09 300C SRT8 is just a Cruiser that can boogey when needed, dont see the point in blowing so much cash into a street only car
6.1 + N₂O = 595 RWHP. No motor mods required (just 100 Octane tune and silver spark plugs)
@HEMImania ... what's silver spark plugs... never heard of those before???
@@ghostrt1608 Brisk Silver Racing Spark Plugs RR14S "have a smaller diameter silver core and conventional open spark hook type earth electrode give an outstanding performance in igniting high octane fuel mixture associated with alternative fuels like CNG, LPG, Propane, E85 blend, Alcohol, LNG, Race Fuels, Nitro, and Nitrous."
They're "colder plugs" good for ignition at lower temps as in N₂O applications.
Cap!
I love my scat pack but damn I do miss my 6.1 6 speed. Being a Canadian car it started to rust too much for my taste.
Same year GCSRT8 also stock. From a dig she skoots.
I got a clean one I think you would like
I blew up my 5.7 after 5000 miles of commuting. I am looking to get another one or a 6.1 if I find a good price. They are everywhere. But the price is high for some reason. Maybe the guys that have them think they are special and want to sell just the engine for 15k? But whatever I get I am going to leave it stock except for trying to fix the hemi tick and valve fall out go boom problem before they do their thing. But bone stock beyond that.
I am currently in the market for a Challenger, ( I'm thinking) a clean late model RT with the 5.7. If it were your money guiding you, would you strive to find a clean, well kept, stock version of a Challenger SRT with the 6.1 and the five speed auto, or the much more modern ( with better interior and an 8 speed auto) 5.7 RT?
In my opinion, the 6.1 liter is now relegated to the purest.If you're looking for something you can take out have a ball with and drive the way that you want to, get the 5.7 with the. Eight speed automatic
@@bmasontv I appreciate you prompt reply. RT it will be.
@B Mason .. I can agree with you on that 100% .. I bought a 2014 RT Challenger, even though I had considered a SRT8 6.1 Challenger at the same time... I still want to get a 6.1 Challenger once I pay off my RT... & I will probably do a full race ready track build with that SRT8 ...
@Steve Smith .. I have a 2014 Challenger RT with the 5spd auto and I actually beat a SRT8 6.1 Challenger with my RT, definitely can't sleep on these 5.7 Hemi's either
👍👍👍👍👍

I'm actually thinking of selling my 06 300c srt8 😭
@Robzilla Garage ... I hardly ever see those on the road, you may want to rethink that idea of selling it
@@ghostrt1608 I agree but it's boring now lol. Doesn't make sense to build.. cost would be too much and still lose to alot of the GM vehicles with similar mods...
@Robzilla Garage ...well it's a luxury car and would probably demolish any 4dr luxury car in it's class, especially from the time it was released to the public in '06... it definitely has a place in history and I've always considered them sleepers from the time I tried to catch one on the interstate, years ago and pretty much just gave up on my run... I've always admired the 300C
What’s the difference between the 300 6.1 vs the jeep 6.1? Looking to buy one in put it in my jeep? What will I need
Same as far as I know.. no differences that I can rwmber at all.
Is this engine reliable on a 2006 srt8 charger
That all depends on how it was maintained
Hey B what your thoughts on comp stage 220/230 599/605 115 LSA For my 6.4 SRT Challenger with long tubes?
Good off the shelf cam.
@@bmasontv Is there a better one you would suggest? I hear you talk about custom grinds alot . Who do you contact to discuss that?
@Randy Schnelle
What are your goals?
What is your budget?
What is your tolerance for drivability issues?
What is your tolerance for high stall converters?
Who would be tuning it?
Be VERY honest with yourself when answering those questions. There is far too much gray area when it comes to cams...
@@bmasontv I don't want that kills the low end grunt of the 6.4 . I dont want to go to a cam where its going to require i change the torque converter. I'm going to do the cam swap myself so i have some wiggle room on price. I guess what i'm wanting is to get 500rwhp or as close as i can with good low midrange torque gains too.
1st
They got stuff for it now 😂 in 2023
There was a ‘10 plum crazy chally manual trans 6.1 with 52k miles for sale a couple months or so back at a local dealership. The paint and body were rough, but they still asking 24k if memory serves me correct. Seemed high. Would LOVE an orange 2008-2010 Chally w/ the 6.1. Fun car! Great video buddy! 😎🤙
