I just scooped a Challenger SP Widebody.  I'm only about 250 miles into it but man it's fun. I've been driving trucks and SUVs for years and haven't had a car since my 20's.

Oil catch can is next I think, I'm hearing these 6.4L need them. Thoughts?

Some say these are tuned to well theres not much to do to them, even air intakes dont add HP.  Mods for HP, thoughts?

Mid muffler delete?  Only to piss off my subdivision or is there benefits other than cool sound?

Anyone getting under 4 seconds on 0-60?  My first try got a 4.3 on a 75 degree dry day at 700-ish feet above sea level.  I had some tire spin so I think I can get under 4.

pics of gear cuz this is ARF.  Thought a fun key fob was in order b/c the scat pack one just says dodge which I thought was a bummer.

Two different Demon packages totaling up to almost $40k.  Demon package removes sound insulation (ok let's lighten this thing up b/c it's a track car) but we keep the subwoofer and the ventilated seats?  

Package also includes air grabber hood but then we get satin/decklid graphic for $4k? Oh and add NAV, b/c obviously this is a car that needs it.

also, didn't realize gas guzzler tax was $3,700, yikes.

The service member special ordered it that way.
That sticker is a reprint, it doesn't have his name on it.
Dodge screwed everybody by raising the gas guzzler tax after deposits were taken & prices were agreed too.

I thought part of their deal with Dodge was firing the employees, and all of the money to charity.

Have a feeling that more bad press for only donating the profit element won't go down well with Dodge.

Yes, they allegedly fired 3 employees who they scapegoated - and their position is that the owner had no idea what they were doing with markups or taking sold cars away from their buyers.
They should have lost their franchises over this.

I wouldn't choose the pink myself of course but it's pretty cool.  Not every Challenger driver is a dude.

I was on the way home from some night vision training one night and another Scat Pack comes onto the highway from the ramp about 1/2 mile ahead of me.  I catch up to it and it's half black and half pink split down the middle.  Kind of a Harley Quinn vibe.  As I pull up they punch it so we end up having some driving fun for a couple minutes.  Turns out it's a big flashy gal.  I was able to look up her IG (it was pasted on her rear window) and she was like a big curvy Dominican lady lol.

wish I could recall what her IG was, I'll circle back if i can find it.

I would absolutely drive that in Panther Pink - only mistake they made is not putting in a white leather interior.

At some point I want to build a 10-second Dart in Panther Pink to embarrass the ricers in front of their girlfriends - explain how you got crushed by a 50 year old pink car...

This one started with a $250K markup on each, they're coming down.
And it looks like nobody wants the stupid black ghost so it is down to MSRP.

Assembled/final inspection 11/2/22 - right at the end of the model year.
Probably didn't hit the dealer lot until sometime in the 1st quarter of 2023.

   Leather-Wrapped Flat-Bottom Steering Whee

So in essence it's adding larger tires, larger wheels, higher performance brakes, and a (user adjustable) sweet adaptive damping suspension. Of course for a cost, but IMHO the upgrades pretty much make the driving experience and how hard it can be pushed for maximum shit eating grins. I'm not hating or being disparaging in any way about examples without it - hell, in my mind ANY Scat Pack with its beautiful 6.4 is gonna be a total blessing to have and more fun than should be possible without sex, rock and roll, and drugs . But you may wish to consider an example with the package. I mean, if someone is spending hard earned money on one, and especially now since the V8s are supposedly going away, IMO it should have all its potential capability available. Personally, I would not get a regular body variant without the package.

Over the years on the Dodge boards I've read about how the OE 245s are less than ideal. Actually I've read other terms used about em that ain't flattering . Consider that even in widebody flavor, with its 205s, Scats are gonna still sit and spin for a little bit when blasting the pedal to the metal.

Also these are not lightweight rockets, and IMHO powerful brakes are absolutely imperative - for performance and safety. IMHO the 6 piston fronts and 4 piston rears with that package are totally kick ass,and an incredible value. There are lots of other much more expensive super performance type vehicles from other manufacturers that don't spec 6 piston fronts.

And IMHO the adaptive damping suspension is gonna help keep it planted to the road when she gets driven spicy. Here's a Dodge board thread that has some user comments on how sweet and increadbly useful the adaptive damping system is: linky

When i was looking at these the dynamics package was a must have on my list but then the widebody came out so that's what I got.

Will cost an extra $12K over the other one with the bigger discount.
it's not worth it, especially since the Pirelli's are garbage no matter what size you get - everyone complains about them & they end up replacing them.
(And even if you go 275's in the Nexan drag radials like I have, they still suck.)

As for the brakes - the 4-piston fronts stop almost as well as the 6-piston.
There are drawbacks to the 6-piston - it is ridiculously expensive when it's time to change pads and rotors.
Also, you are stuck with 20" fronts with the 6-piston, 18" won't fit.

If you want to go straight line fast, I would suggest sticking with narrow body, 4-piston fronts, and then if you go to the track I would get a second set of drag pack wheels (18x5 front, and 17x11 or 18x11 rears.
IMO the car also looks better with 17/18" wheels.
If you plan on going road course where you actually probably need 6-piston fronts, I would suggest spending a little more to get the widebody with 20x11 all around - it already includes the suspension.  

If I had to choose between this one and the one I posted, and it would only be used as a street car, I would definitely go with the cheaper one.

Yeah, the 19x12.5” race car wheels off of the Wesley Pikes Peak Widebody challenger arrived and they’re 13.3” in overall width. Definitely going to look tiny from the side vs the 20’s I have on it due to the spoke design not reaching the outer edge of the lips but the tires should be noticeably wider.

Update: brought the used wheels and stack of 355’s to the shop and they found a crack in one of the wheels so now a repair is needed to get it to hold air. Feels like a wheel project that will never end.

Fucking insane. To think you could have a bought the last gen Viper new when they were selling for less than that is insane. Who the fuck buys a $200k Dodge?

It’s also insane to spend that money on that knowing you can buy a Vette Z06, Porsche, or a Lambo for that.
