2006 Dodge Charger Daytona vs SRT-8 MAGNUM SRT8

[fmarciante1]

i love my go mango daytona, ive had many cars and by far this is my favorite car. plus i would never want to own a stationwagon. just me though, srt8 or not, still an alternitive to a soccor moms minivan.

[taya558]

charger cheated

[tonysmoke20]

insurance rates are much better on a Magnum because they are considered an SUV by the insurance companies... which means you can have just as much speed but lots more room and cheaper monthly bills =)

[joshrodasbg]

@thepatrick54 agreed

[xMcgamer3oh3x]

sorry but that ugly yellow thing dose not have the balls to call its self a charger. in 40 years or inavation on cars a old school 69 charger will dominate all the new crap

[MTLbigJ]

@xMcgamer3oh3x alright there grandpa

[wharghoul]

The Magnum SRT-8 is the best car Chrysler has ever made.

If I could find one, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I still kick myself for not moving fast enough on a nice Hemi Magnum here, so I'd snap up the SRT in a second.

[dylanhill16]

@wharghoul Yeah except for the faster Charger srt-8...

[wharghoul]

@dylanhill16 Faster isn't everything.

[SqueezySqueez]

@wharghoul man i got a 2.7L magnum and since they are getting older i want a SRT-8 just to hook up... keep looking man you'll find one for cheaper then the first time you looked...

[tanny0543]

gotta love the magnum

[furiouscruzer]

GAVE HIM A HEAD START AND STILL SMOKED HIS ASS HAHAHAHA

[dizzydd101]

dang i didnt know a tune did that much

[dizzydd101]

[OBChargers]

@dizzydd101 Airhammer CAI,Borla 125,Predator...

[artace1987]

its easy for a cheater to win. the charger cheated.

[OBChargers]

@artace1987 dude are you retarded,its a bracket race,obviously you don't know what that is.

[artace1987]

@OBChargers So njust because I don't know what a bracket race is that makes me retarded? Wow, you're a genius! *sarcasm*

[OBChargers]

@artace1987 No you threw "cheater"out there not knowing what bracket racing is when it says it in the captions.Maybe you should have kept quiet when you didn't know what that was.Clean start and clean finish by both here.Go street racing and hope for the best.

[ibanez7788]

@NORCALSMILEY08 ur really stupid

[NORCALSMILEY08]

@ibanez7788 Dude get over it, it was a comment.

[retard194]

[NORCALSMILEY08]

[retard194]

@NORCALSMILEY08 Not really, the Magnum was faster.

[uyesu]

@NORCALSMILEY08 idiot much?

[BrandonTheDude]

Top Banana FTW

[MrHookups09]

05 magnum rt borla exhaust slp longtube headers sts kit 150zex wet 2600 torque converter I am at englishtown every Tuesday and Thursday let's race

[Albee213]

I ran 13.77 in my Charger R/T with a few mods. I want to get it to low thirteens and I am done!

[devantecrim1550]

the magnum still won lol

[OBChargers]

@devantecrim1550 really??

[desertsoldier29]

@OBChargers Actually the Daytona won...they are bracket racing :D

[33funnyguy]

the magnum needs a head start like the charger. then see wich car wins

[OBChargers]

@33funnyguy LOL,i wish you guys would read the other comments before posting...

[carcrazy234]

chargers all the way :P

[brownboyz2010]

Dodge 4 Life

[flamehed709]

@brownboyz2010 I agree, but in a more broad phrase. MOPAR OR NO CAR!

[rickcrocetti]

obviously, I own a Magnum... I am depressed! Time for a blower!!!!

[OBChargers]

@rickcrocetti I'm not sure if you have an R/T or SRT but either way get the predator,it will give you the best return for the money,my Daytona in the video runs mid 13s very lightly modded and i'm happy as hell.Stock the R/Ts run low 14s.But keep in mind the daytona won in a bracket race heads up he'd smoke me lol...

[OBChargers]

@rickcrocetti Oh and look through my videos i have one of a BONE STOCK Magnum R/T beating a 350Z,thats impressive.Weather you have an R/T or SRT you have one hell of a ride.

[rickcrocetti]

It is a Magnum RT, not an SRT8 - The wheels and grill give it away.

[OBChargers]

@rickcrocetti Sorry man,that is an SRT-8 Magnum,the front wheels are SRT-8 wheels and the rear are drag radials,I know the ride and have seen the motor plenty of times it's a 6.1 SRT-8.

[OBChargers]

@Houser450r06 Thanks but no-one said it was....

[Houser450r06]

Oh haha, I read it wrong. Mopar all the way!

[leebannerman]

@OBChargers 13.7 is pretty damn good for just CAI, Borla, and Predator.... did you have a changed thermostat ? Just wondering .. I have a 2007 Road and Track and I have the same mods minus the exhaust.. and I have the 180 thermostat fans set at 185 to come on. Good run !!

[OBChargers]

Thanks i bested it at 13.5 and lots of 13.6s,and yes i put the 180 TSTAT in it,usually jump the fuse between runs to keep the fan on,trying to stay as cool as possible.

[Albee213]

@leebannerman I ran my Charger R/T once and got 13.77 and that was "true" cold ari intake, my filter is in the bumber outside of the engine bay, shorty heards, no cats, flow master custom exhaust and superchips programmer.

[1984Marshall]

619426 - The money is good. Everyone in assembly is unionized and make around $35 an hour. However with the times being as rough as they are for the auto industry we have lots of layoffs and down weeks right now. The Challenger is pretty much keeping us afloat until the new cars launch this summer. I couldn't tell ya what the engine technicians make as the engines come to us already built. We have to add a few parts and prep them on the engine line but everyone makes the same money on assembly

[1984Marshall]

Wow, with no mods done to it? She's light on her feet.. The lightest Chargers we've dyno'd are usually the police units weighing in at around 4700 lbs for a hemi. Theyre rather stripped down with no spare tire, side air bags, etc.. kind of curious as to what mine would weigh in at, never having it scaled before... i know that 5300 is the sticker max.. most of them come in around 5000 though.. Maybe minus 200 lbs or so when im in it.. lol. Got me wondering why such a discrepency between the two

[619426]

really, you work at the assembly plant? this has nothing to do with the race. but im curious on how much do you make an hour. I heard you make pretty good money there, and i also heard that you dont. and would you happen to know how much a technician who builds the engines make???

[PutzkiSniper]

dude the SRT-8 chargers weigh like 4150 pounds is that the car ur talking about?

[Albee213]

@1984Marshall Huh? My Charger weights 4350 with my fatt ass in it! I wieghed it at a dump station once. I dynoed mine at 310HP/375Lbs at the wheels.

[OBChargers]

Thanks Marshall,but i think your off by 1000,i scaled this charger at 4400LBS at the track,your AWD obviously would be more.

[1984Marshall]

Just to clarify guys, the Charger weighs 200 lbs less than the Magnum. The Charger tips the scales at 5300 lbs and the Magnum weighs in at 5500 lbs. I own both a Charger R/T and a Magnum R/T (AWD) and also work at the assembly plant here in Canada, so I have lots of experience with both these cars. They are built on the same platform, same wheelbase,only differences are the body panels and some frame work. The added weight comes from the extended roofline for the hatch on the back of the Magnum

[eee172]

is the charger not a superbee?

[OBChargers]

The Magnum and Daytona both have mods,they run 14.2 and 13.2-4 unmoded/Stock

[bucke1239]

HOTHOT COOL VIDEO.............

[MPLSTORM]

Either way MOPAR OWNS ON RACE DAY!

[MeowSysTheCat]

wow magnum pulled out slower than charger yet still won.

diff?

daytona has the smaller 5.7L 'semi-hemi' and the srt8 has the true 6.1L hemi.

[MPLSTORM]

mag is moded

[MLKJRJR]

probably not, it's just a srt-8 and the charger is just a daytona r/t. The srt-8 has a 6.1 426hp or cumthin and the r/t has a 5.7 340 or 375hp I cant remember...

[ModMob]

@MLKJRJR for some reason with the magnums stock SRT8 was 420hp.lol idk why the 5hp diff between other SRT8's

[RC51love]

It was bracket racing. The Charger won because he guess closest to what his car would run. Look at the times on the score board. Those are the times they guessed and the actual shows up once they pass the start finish.

[Amras0407]

The 5.7 isn't the 'semi-hemi,' you're thinking of the 4.7.

[PanzerAce88mm]

i love that yellow

[tRaPsTaRzzz]

a charger ways more then a magnum

[Sketto3]

Why the hell didnt they make the chargers or magnums manual trans.....

[Soldaat192]

cause its an auto stick. So you have manual or azuto. which ever you feel like using. better then manual.

[TheNewMrCool]

Because a manual in a 4100+ lb vehicle tends to feel a bit out of place.

[Sketto3]

Tractor trailers are manuals weights got nothing to do with it manual is just more enjoyable to drive for sum. Least the new charger is stick.

[TheNewMrCool]

Yes, but those commercial duty vehicles are purpose-built. Chargers or Magnums would sell very poorly with manuals. Even the vast majority of Challengers are being sold with the auto.

[0TheLostArtist0]

What new Charger may I ask are u referring to or do you mean the Challenger?

[Sketto3]

nah that cmmnt was 3 months back they were saying they were thinking about making the charger manual trans but nope....least now its easier to do manual swap since they came out with the challenger

[timm55]

I have an 07 magnum but man those Super bee's are HOT!

[jaak68]

Mmmm... Inferno Red 2006 Magnum SRT8.... One of only 666 in existance.

[evangelizerbrandon]

Awsome 2 big FAST cars!!!

[xabovethisworldx]

normally aspirated?you mean naturely.

[jaak68]

Nice Maggie, looks just like mine, except it's slower... Mine runs in the 11's normally aspirated!

[Reelo877]

dodge sucks

[OBChargers]

Your an  idiot,rhen why would you click on a race between 2 dodges.Closet Mopar nut ain't ya.LOL Moron.

[MoParguytilidie]

currently best dodge pony car srt8 magnum agree with me or disagree thats my opinion and im stickin to it! chargers r ugly i took a magnum insted but i have nothing against them!

[marusgerard]

srt-8 motor has more horses... so really thats was expected..... i didnt think it was going to catch up that quickly though

[baby2kent]

whats the power to weight ratio though? magnum is a bigger heavier car.

[Soldaat192]

magnum is actually lighter. its 3800 ibs the chagers 4066ibs

[spockistheman]

I own a Magnum and it weighs well over 4000lbs. How can you say its lighter than a Charger? There is alot more metal in a Magnum.

[Soldaat192]

because if you were smart and you searched up weights the magnum weighs 3,800 ibs., my dad owns a chrager and my dads freind owns a magnum. the charger dwarfs the magnum...

[spockistheman]

I own a Magnum buddy and it came with alot of info including the weight. A Magnum is basically a station wagon Charger. Station Wagon's are heavier. How does a Charger dwarf a Magnum? You can clearly see the Magnum is bigger. What have been smoking? I would like other's opinion on this.

[Soldaat192]

w/e the inside of a magnum is tighter then a chrager. again my dad wons a chrager and my dads friend owns a magnum. W/e this is a lost fight. shouldt mopar fans stick togeather?

[spockistheman]

Peace. I just put a video on here of my Magnum R/T at the dragstrip. I lay waste to a 5.0 Mustang.

[Soldaat192]

good. makin sure them ponies lovin queers dont get outta line. lol hemi better then small ass 4.6l 286ci v8

[70admach1n3]

im gonna steal ur awesome line and use it. pony lovin queers lol.

[Soldaat192]

haha, go right ahead=]

[TheNewMrCool]

A comparable Magnum weighs about 80-85 lbs more than a Charger.

[OBChargers]

LOL,Yes he did,that is one sick Magnum...

[jonjon4play]

damn that maggie caught up fast

[OBChargers]

@jonjon4play Yeah,That car is fast as hell..

[cmc1222]

The Magnum had a bigger Hemi in it thats why it won

[250R1983lover]

basicly the same vehical, execpt the magnum has a different end down force

[PTight]

fuck ford, dodge all day baby

[funnyman183]

all the way ford = found on road dead

[PTight]

[funnyman183]

[england15486]

Ford is a great company. They Circle the problem for you!

FORD= F*cked on race day!

[funnyman183]

fuck ford

ford fucken over rated dodge ps i own a dodge magnem and it kicks ass all the way man

[Winjury]

it kicks ass? lol. its a wagon? you need to explain that, please.

[funnyman183]

if you ever drove one you would know

[Winjury]

lol. so true. if i ever drove a certain car, i would know:) very good observation...

[AJIX]

Driving a hemi brings excitement everytime you get into it its an amazing feeling of just tapping the pedal and going on demand

[JesusFreak1664]

magnum has a 345 ci 350 engine compared to fords 286 ci 300hp engine.

[Winjury]

if its srt...its 425

[jrider41023]

@PTight No fuck you , American Muscle All Day Baby!

[PTight]

@jrider41023 If you aint know dodge actually is american muscle too lolz

[jrider41023]

@PTight I know , that why I like American Muscle . Dodge,Chevy,Ford...

[iJerm]

@PTight where does ford come into play?

[OBChargers]

Sorry cupcake the Charger won in a bracket race.You must own a Slostang....

[HYPHYnWILD]

That Charger Aint Shit ... Head Start And Still Lost ... All Dodge Is Good For Is There Magnum And Viper

[DrillRaptor]

Wait wait wait... you're saying the Charger's performance sucks, but not the Magnum's? Interesting. That Charger has a 5.7L V8 with about 350bhp. The Magnum is an SRT8, so it has 425hp coming out of its huge 6.1L V8. The Charger SRT8 is essentially EQUAL in performance to the Magnum. Does that mean they both suck? No.

[JesusFreak1664]

the 5.7 is 340 but with the daytona u get better exaust and suspenion and 10 more hp =ing 350hp. same torque though =\

[Ken81590]

awsome thats all i can say

[OBChargers]

In 2008 The Daytonas are Orange...So far the Daytonas are Top Banana Yellow,GoMango Orange,Torred-Red,Sublime Green,PlumCrazy-Purple,and Now the Hemi Orange.The Top Banana Yellow was out B4 the SuperBees So they actually made the Bee look like the Banana LOL...

[goldensundragon]

man they made it look to much like a superbee they should paint it orange

[OBChargers]

The Daytona,has just CAI,Borla125 Catback,and Diablo tune.

The SRT-8 Has,FRI Street Heads and Tomahawk Cam, Kooks LT Headers, B&G Stage 2, Protorque 2800, K&N CAI,B&B Catback

It was a Bracket race SRT-8 gave just under a sec.headstart.

[rcdv91]

what are the mods of the daytona and the magnum?
