Fuel Time - Dodge Charger R/T Daytona Edition

[vedgardo]

I raced a daytona once....but i think it never got out of the 4 cylinder configuration....cuz my vette just left it standing....LOL

[MrCisconyc718]

Back in the days in the 1968 to 72 there where no such thing as srt 8 only the true legendary emblem such as the r/t , se superbee daytona r/t , charger r/t daytona first car in nascar top 200 mph. srt 8 got NOTHING on R/T Remember R/T got history Son.

[vinylcollector08]

@MrCisconyc718

True, You can add Superchips or Diablo Tuner, Cold Air Intake and some Headers and it will be as fast as an SRT and will save you some money as well

[CRACKFACE86]

@MrCisconyc718 Lol and the R/T goes down in history as the model just below the SRT8 ol' guy....

[audiocable]

who buys an muscle car in auto?

[giantanthony]

I Do

[HOLLISTERdude201]

this is cool but check out my vid about my 2009 Dodge charger rt daytona!!!!!!!!

[impalasfinest]

does anyone know if u can modify the R/T hemi into a srt8

[pkidro]

like swapping 5.7 with the 6.1L ?

[impalasfinest]

Yea do u have to change the suspension on anything

[pkidro]

well not just that, you also need brembo brakes, stronger low end, and a few more things, i know SRT8 is pricy but it's the only charger i would get, i drive an 05 mustang GT, it's quicker then the RT but i get killed by the SRT. I've driven the RT and the SRT and the difference is alot, the SRT will scare you

[impalasfinest]

ok cool thanks man ive notice that them srt8 r a little cheaper now but thanks for the info.I have a 96 impala SS and im trying to figure out if i want to keep my baby or get that SRT8

[pkidro]

i would prefer the srt, iam a mustang guy, i'd get the gt500 anyday over anything but if you can afford the srt, and it's gas, why not. the RT might be enough, but i work at a car dealership and i've driven fast cars, and i mean, M, AMG, Z06, i even drove the newest M3 on the road and the z4m as well, so the RT was not enough for me, it's big, heavy and slow . but if you're a family guy, the charger is a good choice. i think it looks great with the spoiler specially the daytona package

[jamesthq]

@pkidro what are these things like to drive I love chargers but I prefer Japanese cars cause they handle like a go kart and they are really great to tune up. Im not getting in a ricer debate Im strickly speaking adding a turbo charger ect ect

[giantanthony]

hahahahhha the str will scar u It Will To

[pkidro]

english plz......you got the worse grammer with all due respect, i cant understand a word you just said

[checkcheck662]

You CAN swap a 6.1 for the 5.7, but you'd be stupid to. I moded my RT into a 550 hp 570 lbs of tq monster with a custom built 6.7 liter motor. IT KILLS SRT8s.

[X2N18]

whats the song in the background! hot chick lol!

[43jasperhale]

We haver the same car has a little more then 350 horses and has a Hemi!

[Chessie9009]

99% perfect. no manual trans. ='(

[wasatyperez]

i got a number 0791 of 1500 sublime daytona chargers and i love it :)

[Nbx33]

Allevontek You absolutely in no wet dream of a way. Get 31 MPG in a HEMI ANYTHING..

Unless your 100% down hill. and there aint a road in the USA tats would allow you to accomplish that.

27 at best at best conditions possible

[CarlAndersonBiach]

I NEED SOMEONE TO TALK TO

ANY GUYS UP? 6I

[Fordguy772]

noe ecen the 6.1 thats garbage

[kingofdearborn6969]

what a moron the dodge charger gives u 4 choices of engines...she forgot the 6.1 425hp hemi

[egitlebob]

Two things, one I'm assuming because most people consider the Charger SRT to be a separate vehicle than the Charger(stupid I know but true). Also, there are still only 3 engine options because as far as I know, the 2.7 is no longer offered in the Charger, however I could be wrong about that.

[angelicricky]

how much are these

?

[Fordguy772]

a 2004 mach 1 would own that

[JudgeSteelflax]

not really

[Fordguy772]

yea. these run like 13.6 I think not completly sure. the mach 1 runs 13.3 bone stock with less horsepower

[JudgeSteelflax]

well huh srt 8 would be better though

[Fordguy772]

in that case they would be dead even. then it depends on the driver

[egitlebob]

The SRT-8 runs 13.1 at 109, so they'd be close, but not dead even, and, 13.6-13.3 is not "owning" it, it's just, as in the previous example, close. Also, the Charger is competition for the Mustang GT, special edition models don't count. The only reason the Mach 1 is faster with less power is because it weighs 1,000 lbs less.

[egitlebob]

Your argument about how Mustang is a better car has valid points, however, your basing it off of pure performance aspects, in which the Mustang does have bad points(live axle). Anyway, one could argue other points such as practicality, the Mustang is HUGELY impractical i.e. the backseat is useless, there's almost no cargo space, and don't even get me started on how well it fares in an accident. All points the Charger is superior in. The Mustang is pure sports car, Charger is much more than that.

[allevontek]

One other point is that the Mustang is considered a PONY car. Lighter and meant more for 2 people, the Charger is a Sedan! A different class. The Challenger is the car to be compared to the Mustang. I have all respect for the Mustang but aside from the GT500, most are pretty evenly matched with a Charger RT

[dwhip316]

to bad you dont own a g8, get off it's dick

[cadillactoddd]

The pontiac g8 gt bone stock would kill one of these. 0-60 in almost 6 seconds what a turtle.

[xxMafia101]

pontiac sucks balls..a charger would kick its ass on the drag strip

[steeliosV10]

Interesting..I didn't know 5.5 seconds was almost 6. That's quite a difference when you're talking about a 0-60 time. A G8 doesn't kill a Charger R/T...it very well may beat it by about a foot or so but it stands no chance against an SRT8.

[Fordguy772]

when the srt-8 charger runs in the 14's i dont think so

[allevontek]

an SRT8 running 14's is a bad driver. Im doing LOW 13's with an RT and very little modding. G8 is quick and SOME can take me by about a half car length. Im experienced. G6 isnt even a match for an RT unless its suped up. So theres your answer.

[Fordguy772]

with little modding that impresive. i love chargers but i think the 4 doors kills it

[allevontek]

I disagree, without the 4 doors I wouldn'y have bought it. I got tired of people climbing over me to get in with all the 2 doors I had. When this came out with 4 I was ecstatic as it is MORE functional in today's times and still just as potent.

[Fordguy772]

yea its nice that they made smething diffrent. everybody had a camaro,firebird or mustang. the f-bodies all look the same and the mustangs dont look all alike but the charger is difrent which is cool but their to expensive for me lol. wish i had a r/t

[allevontek]

I agree, I have total respect for the Stang in all versions, but not practical for me hauling clients, friends, etc. So the 4 doors was the clincher. However, they're not that expensive. The base RT is only $28K but the SRT8 is based around $36K and I felt having the MDS for gas mileage was a MAJOR deciding factor. I get 31 MPG with a HEMI. I was floored when I started to track it.

[porschz14]

its such a hot  car

[REF0202]

next mod will be the forged pistons, rings rods bee hive springs and the 420 hp cam, who told you chargers can't be modded for hp

[vettecsix]

Man when did the circus come to town?Nice paint scheme!LOL!

[REF0202]

Classic race colors

[fashizze]

you must have a chip placed in it because chargers cant be modded for more hp

[REF0202]

Plenty of mods out for chargers, running ram air, vortech performance exhaust, headers, superchip reprogrammer, Daytonas run 5.6 o-60 stock by the way...... My buddies GTCS is brand new! Daytonas run the srt-8 pcu programming and will trash r/t chargers.

[fashizze]

from what i read n the dodge website is that a charger r/t stock does 0-60in 6.2 seconds weighs to much to be in the mid 5s few and daytona and r/t are the same thing pretty much

[REF0202]

The Daytona is slightly different than the R/T it only puts out 10 more horses but it's 0-60 time is a half second faster. The difference that every one knows about is the "Sport tuned" free flowing exhaust (Which I trashed for a Cherry Bomb Vortech cat back JBA high flow cats and Hedman shorty headers almost immediatly) but thats not what makes up the difference, the Daytona PCM shares similar programmin g with the SRT-8 so it's not such a family tuned sedan.

[REF0202]

Check the power to weight ratio of the two cars. 11.5 for the Manual mustang and 11.71 for the Daytona. Not that huge a difference. It's 12.05 for the regular R/T. A good driver and working the tree at the track can make this up. Mustang beats charger o-60 because its geared better for that! But if we were to run from of laughlin to vegas the stang would loos on the top end. Stock anyway. Don't get me wrong I love mustangs! They are fast and a ton of fun. And I wouldnt buy a base R/T

[ricedraja]

and if they wanted a charger sedan, leave that for the sxt and up to the rt models but make a srt8 charger coupe

[ricedraja]

i really hate chrysler for doing this, the charger should have never been a sedan, (thats the 300c's job) the avenger is enough of a sedan, but atleast they made the new challenger to suit my needs,

[pmergner]

dont get me wrong, funeralforafriend is great music but it doesnt belong with AMERICAN cars. put zz top instead

[02ramfan]

I admit i love the mustangs. Really these cars arent in the same class. The charger is a family car no matter what the hell you do to it. Its a damn sedan thanx chrysler dumbasses. Now on the other hand the mustangs arent going to be built quite as good.Hence pony car vs a big high horsepower sedan.

[fashizze]

If its so better than stangs then way the hell cant a charger STR-8 which is the fastest of all chargers dust the fastest of ford mustangs which include cobras,GT500s,GT350s,saleens,t­erminators etc answer that you charger fanatics lol by the way i own a 2006 ford mustang GT which owns r/ts hemis or whatever hahahahahahahah dodge sucks ..mustangs for life

[REF0202]

Really my Daytona smokes my buddies GTCS all the time

[fashizze]

must be a classic california special from the 60's with less hp no way in hell a updated GT CS .or your buddy cant drive or your lying to save face ..that HEAVY 4 door family car with the name "charger" curb weight is 4,268 lbs and does 0 to 60mph in 6.2 seconds an unmodded stock Mustang GT coupe 3,450 lbs 300hp can do 0-60 in 5.4 seconds i have raced r/ts in my 2006 stang gt with cold air intake and they cant stay neck and neck they get left 3 cars legths behind in a long stretch

[monkey0335]

I hate how its 4 doors.Shouldn't it be 2 door like the original.

[JKERNS0824]

it would be better if they had the 2 door option. Although the 4 door is nice for the family man that wants to go fast

[keikoandgilly]

That would be me thank you. A texas man like myself keeps this in mind.

[juusouken]

you have to think, would you have a 2 door charger and the challenger on the same line? This is why the magnum had to go. You work against yourself having stuff like that.

[7amooodinho]

i got a 3.5 litre charger,it's a badass,wonder how the hemi would be ...:D

[hdavis182]

Mustang..Hmm.shouldnt you be on a page with the rest of the cookie cutter wannabes who dont understand heritage or loyalty, Oh wait! Guess you do since ole man ford supported the nazi movement! Take your COMMON car and go impress the uneducated- HA! One sits on every USED car lot we pass, is yours next? Lol!

[vegasgypsyboy]

i got a 1999 mustang gt i beet the Dodge Charger R/T Daytona Edition hemi dodge hemi wast ove time mustang is nober 1

[monkey0335]

Im with you man!!

[bmw545iuser]

i find that very hard to believe unlees the guy driving the charger couldn't drive

[monkey0335]

good point

[02ramfan]

Tou  tant uckn spell.Hooked on phonex werked fur yu.

[sgman92]

when you are going to buy a charger why wouldn't u buy one with a HEMI without the HEMI it isnt a true charger

[iTurboSrt4]

If you're gonna buy a fast car, buy the fastest model out, SRT-8!

[muscle1983]

V6 is for pussies

[metallica2rule]

why would you want that car with a v6 waste of money..............who could say no to a hemi v8

[Psychosix]

That wasn't a review. That was an advert. Typical American engineering. Slow, lazy, wallowy and big. Yawn.

[josuelitos]

why complaine, envy or what. the only uk cars in america are mini=german,land rover=american , and jaguar=american and only mini doesnt suck. so why you talk when you cant back it up b.

[Psychosix]

Sorry, what? Sort your spelling out, please. I'm not talking about British cars. And even then, Aston Martin, TVR, Nobel etc. They're all extreme performance machines. America cannot boast the same. It's all about 6 litre engines in a V8 alignment. Slow to accelerate and lazy at handling.

[josuelitos]

they only sell them in the uk because no body wants them.

[Psychosix]

Nobody wants the DB9, Vanquish or Vantage? Why am I even replying to you. You're unintelligent and quite obviously talking shit.

Good night baby. xxx

[josuelitos]

i dont even know what you are saying. i asked many people and nobody knows. why because there only known in some parts of the uk.

[drinner]

mmm.. tasty

[iTurboSrt4]

I personally think if you're going to buy a fast car, you need to get the high end model. Not the R/T but the Srt-8 which is WAY more powerful! I'd rather have a plain Srt-8 than a Daytona. Or better yet, the Superbee!

[JJ1o87]

What song is this?

[fenderbass3]

fuck bitching about a 4-door. why must ALL of the chargers be automatic? Or maybe I'm just lunching.

[rengoku8]

hey my pparents got one

[BiGGuY32]

I don't like the green and purple ones... Doesn't give the car that muscle car look... My favorite one is the red one... The car is badass... And I'm so happy to have one :D

[jaymacc7707]

green is the best man...

[reeddb]

The 2:82 rear end is pointless in a muscle car. Should have had a 3:55

[RhettaDaddy]

why in the hell would they make a four door charger? that is the only fuck up.... but its hard to get over

[steeliosV10]

Agreed my friend...I love my Top Bananna charger but the 4100lbs and 4 doors isn't exactly my favorite choice. Still, its got a lot of power

[kevinmann]

they should of never remade the charger. they could of at least make it a 2 door

[JuggyGales1977]

0-60 in 5.6 sec (Car & Driver test) 350hp / 390lb-ft torque in a luxurious full size four door sedan filled with high tech equipment for 30 - 35K out the door. You'll be hard pressed to find content and performance for even TWICE the price. A full size offering from Europe or Japan with equivalent content and performance will run you six figures. The only thing close from GM or Ford is a Caddy STS which will run you double the price of this baby.

[rmleisure]

Crappy car and slow too. With the exception of the SRT-8, this car is a dog. It's ridiculously big, has 4 doors, and no power. What a joke.

[jaymacc7707]

And im sure your driving a kia....HAHA!

[oceanpacific7272]

the four doors do suck, but its a nice ass car

[lordmonkeyman]

the car is nice but I like the 1968 model way much better

[ALONSO13WLN]

best in the world

[Jacobey22]

ya 4 doors sucks

[albaraki]

Bad Review, nice car, aweful color especially fron inside..

[IvanSorath]

i love the charger , 2 doors would be better , but still i love this car

[IvanSorath]

i love it , but 4 doors just sucks, thats why im going for de new challenger

[Wloczykij]

awful colour :/ sadly this car will never be like the old Charger...

[mustang1298]

yeah but think 'bout it who will buy in 2007 an full heavy car whit poor suspension and large doors? i agree , the new one dont have the same good look whit hidden lights :) but the new one is more for our days now

[Wloczykij]

old one is a CLASSIC. thats why i love it so much :) and yeah, i would buy it... if only fuel in Poland would be cheaper.
