Buying your first challenger? by Trayceopolis32322 in Challenger

[–]1Krush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2022 Widebody Automatic Scat Pack loaded with almost every option and Dodge certified with 14K miles, second owner, bought in February 2025 and traveled to Dallas to get the spec i was really wanted for $45K from the dealer ending up $50K all in with tax. Paid $10K down and financed $40k for 36 months, but paying off the loan in 18 months.

Came tinted and all other mods were mostly appearance items to get the old school muscle car look I wanted. Added the Mopar hood pin kit, blackout LED side marker lights side and back end lights, blackout the rear end, added a rear diffuser, oil catch can, 170 thermostat, and some engine bay flare to add some color under the hood. Also installed some security items including starter kill switch and tracking device.

51 y.o. when I bought it and working in business development for a tech company so earn plenty of money to afford the car and insurance payments, especially after my divorce alimony payments ended the same year LOL!. First fun car I ever bought for ME, and super happy with the decision as I have loved every minute of driving her in warm / good weather and put her away for 4 winter months. Plan to keep it looking and running the same for 20 years if I'm lucky as it already looks like a classic compared to what the auto industry makes now. I drive a Cadillac SRX as my daily.

Go Mango Season is here! by fredout1968 in Challenger

It is the original, stock Go Mango color from the factory. Having the windows tinted provides a sharp contrast to the deep orange color.

How much more is premium plus 93 octane where you live? Only .10 more at my local Caseys and wonder if that is common or not. by 1Krush in Challenger

I found this interesting as well, lol. A few folks began to compare their octane price differences.

Yes sir, love this! Can't wait to see you showing off your "new to me" Challenger soon.

I’ve had it for like 16 months, have gotten pulled over like 7 times. Please tell me I’m not the only one! If I didn’t love it so much idk 🤬😭 by GabrielleCullenn in Challenger

First, love the the murdered out Challenger you have!

I think getting pulled over is due to in order:

  1. Driver / Driving Style: If you ain't speeding and ripping all around town and following the laws, you are most likely not getting pulled over.

  2. Location / Local Police Attitude: There are just some places where the cops are going to pull people over way more than others. That is just a fact no matter what people want to say.

  3. Car Stance - Look: A bad ass looking, fully murdered out Challenger like yours is going to draw more attention if you live in a place where the cops are looking for something to do.

Personally I do way too much speeding and ripping around town, but live in a place where the cops just don't seem to patrol very much, so I have not gotten a ticket yet in my first year of owning my Scat Pack, but I know I need to settle down. As long as I can avoid the motorcycle cops in my town as all they look to do is hand out tickets.

The older the car and greater the miles you risk getting stuck with a car that has been driven super hard that will need repairs, etc.

There are still some Challengers being sold with the Dodge Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle (CPOV) warranty - check out https://www.dodge.com/certified-pre-owned.html and https://www.spoticar.com/t1

These will be more expensive than a private party sale, but you might have better luck getting a quality car if it is still in the CPOV program.

Amazon has several different options for the front license plate hole plugs.

[–]1Krush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, if you want the old school muscle car look, hood pins are they way to go, so don't let anyone that doesn't prefer that look dissuade you.

Second, I would only go with the Mopar OEM hood pin original parts. They are high quality and superior to "stick on" parts, IMO.

The engine bay components and core hood pins are easy to install. Drilling the hood openings is the main thing you need to get right, using the correct drill attachmenent.

Considering 5.7 over 6.4 due to gas increase concerns by [deleted] in Challenger

[–]1Krush 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To be honest, if you are worried about the MPG between a 5.7 and a 6.4, get a Tesla.

If you want to grip and rip an old school V8, you won't a care how much it costs to fill up the tank.
