A V6 Challenger that doesn't suck

Challengers are big cars, so if you opt for the 3.6 or the 5.7 you are doing yourself a disservice (other than the blatant omission of a LSD in most of em). There is no denying that a Challenger looks absolutely muscular however... And if you add some sticky rubber and a RIPP supercharger to that Pentastar powered Challenger...

That would be interesting! Although this had zero problems hooking, even with the one wheel drive that’s going on at this time.

The pentastar v6 has good power. No problem with that for most folks. But now you have my interest peaked. I wonder if that blower would fit on my pacifica minivan.... hehehehe. But I don’t think the poor front tires could take much more power really.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the 5.7, but due to the heft of the car you really want that SRT8. And the fact you are still going to be hunting for a LSD puts me off on em. I think every car north of 300hp should have one standard, auto or manual.

I think where there is a will there is a way! But man, that would be so much power in a front wheel drive car. It would be a roll race monster though, no one would expect a minivan moving out to the tune of 400whp!

Confession time....I would 10/10 daily drive a pentastar challenger with a manual. I would even be that guy who puts on the cooler R/T or SRT wheels and tires. I wouldn’t change the badging though.

You can do whatever you want, just as long as you keep the badging alone. I would be the guy deleting hellcat badges and replacing them with 392 emblems... I think downbadging is fine strangely enough... But I am a bit of a troll... But up-badging? Hard stop on that one!

Thank you, my vocabulary is pretty poor at times.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure it would quickly trash the transmission.

You take it to the 70's and people would stare, but it wouldn’t look too out of place. Until you see them side by side, it DWARFS the original. They did such a great job on it.
