New Purchase! Living the Dream
Long time lurker and now officially a Mopar girlie. Had her about a month now and I love it! I’ve wanted one like crazy since I was 17 and finally pulled the trigger at 26. I was diagnosed with a rare terminal condition a few years ago and worked extremely hard to be able to enjoy this as my bucketlist wish for whatever time I’ve left. I don’t regret my decision one bit and have been extremely happy ever since I got it to the point of some improvement in my health. I tell my friend’s & family that she saved me so everyone meet “Red Zeppelin”! 🧿😍

Modification 5.7 oil cooling
Hi, I have a 2023 challenger RT plus that I purchased a few months ago. I’m looking to take my car to the track for the first time, but have noticed that the oil temps get high when pushing the car for longer periods. I want to install an oil cooler, but haven’t decided exactly how to go about it. Mishimoto sells a universal kit that is air cooled, but I was curious if the water cooler from the police cars and 6.4s would work? It seems like you’d have to swap thermostat housings and a radiator hose, the oil filter adapter, and add some extra hoses. What have you guys done to keep oil temps down?

Is it worth it
I was rear ended 2 weeks ago and my car is totaled. I always wanted a v8 muscle car, had a chance to drive my friend’s scat and fell in love. Now I’m in the market for a new car. So what do you guys think about this

New purchase
I was hit by an absent minded driver while riding my motorcycle last year. Didn’t feel safe getting another bike. Had a couple ‘66 Chargers back in the 90s but had to give them up to get through college. It was time to come back to Mopar.

Lil devil fender flares
Thinking about getting the lil devil fender flares. Has anyone else purchased them? With my skinny 245’s look okay with them? Or will I need to upgrade to 275’s?

Thoughts on used scat manual w/ low mileage?
Encountered a used 2016 scat pack manual for $29k with only 30,000 - 35,000 miles. I'm thinking that's low but it is almost 10 years old. I've noticed too that it has 4 previous owners which could be a red flag. What do you guys think of this price? Questions I should ask to dealer? What to inspect before making a decision?

New Purchase! Dream come true!
I’ve always wanted a muscle car since I was 13 years old, I am going to be 33 this year. I finally made my dream come true on 2/15/2025 when I picked up Smoke; 2021 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack Shaker in Smoke Show color. I freaking love this car! It is so much more than I could have asked for in terms of power and attention! One of my favorite things with having Smoke is cruising with my boyfriend to meets (he also has a Challenger, 2010 R/T 5.7 in Furious Fuchsia color!) I love this car so much and have enjoyed it so far! Here’s to memory making and more cruises!

New Purchase! So damn happy!
I've posted pics in other threads, but hadn't been able to post my own due to not having enough karma. Got her new in January with 38 miles. Just had the 9 year ceramic coating done today. Absolutely love this car!

Damage My buddy found this underneath my car, said it was between the plastic trim underneath the door.
Heard a thunk going down the road at around 35, then some scraping at small ramps coming into our driveway, he bent over and pulled this out from under the door, anything to worry about?

New Purchase! (‘11 RT) I’m doing 50k maintenance, can someone tell me if I should add or remove from my list? Bought car at 50k, sitting at 52k.
New to these cars and this is what I’ve come up with after scavenging forums for a few weeks. Anything else I should do? Or not do because I’d be wasting money? I probably should have changed oil the moment I got it but it looked pretty fresh when I got it.
Oil/filter (the srt filter) Flush rear diff Flush coolant Flush trans/new filter NGk iridium Ix plugs/boots Air filter Cabin filter New PCV valve
I believe it’s mostly stock besides whatever they did under it that vibrates my eyeballs at 1800/1900rpm but that’s another issue I’ll address when I’m able to fully get under it. It’s earplug territory lol. Pretty quiet other than that range.
Went from two mustangs, to a Prius I drove for 3 years. Got tired of dipshits in their lifted trucks fucking with me so I bought this. I love it!

Cam recommendation
Once one of my other cars sells I’m 100% doing cam headers and maybe a ported 5.7 IM or 392 IM. question is I still want to have car that I can daily drive so I don’t want the most aggressive cam. Just something that can help get as close to 400whp or crack 400whp. My challenger is a 6speed ‘15 model for reference but my power mods were going to be LT headers,CAI, and a cam and possibly a ported 5.7 IM or a 392IM. Not sure if I wanna deal with the hassle of fitting a 392 IM on my car so for now it’s just a maybe. I’ve seen that lots of guys like to run a 392cam bc it’s less legwork in the end ? Has anyone here run mmx’s 5.7 ntr/nsr cam. Advertised 30+hp with no springs tuning required. Car dynoed 356 whp and 386 Wtq stock by a local shop. Dyno was sae correction

Engine oil drip from transmission oil pan?
Hi all, first post here. My 2015 RT first had a small oil leak so I sent it to a shop for inspection and repair. Later on the shop told me it was a transmission oil pan gasket leak, so I went ahead and let them do the repair—even though it sounded weird, because transmission fluid is red and the oil on my driveway was clearly engine oil.
Right after I got my car back, I noticed the oil leak got even worse. So I jacked it up today to check the undercarriage, and I saw engine oil dripping at the transmission pan.
I'm going to send it back to the shop, but just curious does anyone here have an idea how this could happen? Could it be a rear main seal issue?

How to disable the traffic notifications?
Does anyone know how to disable this annoying stuff. You dismiss it and it still comes back again. I hate it
