r/Challenger

Any sure fire advice?

After spending hours restoring the other exterior plastics, I need to tackle all the window rubber trims. Anyone got any methods that really work? I was just going to try scrubbing at them but if anyone has a product recommendation I'm all ears!

Thanks

Rim and tire help

I have the 1320 and have factory 9.5 inch rims. I want 305s on the rear and debated whether to just throw them on the 9.5 rim but read that wouldn’t be ideal. I’m looking for rims that have the proper offset and backspace to avoid any rubbing. But I’ve seen anywhere from 18-25mm. I’d like 20x11 or 20x10.5 inch rims for the 305 Mickey Thompson ET street ss drag radials. I don’t want to spend over 1200 for 2 rims though. Any feedback would be great thanks

Hellcat Alert

I bought a 2021 whiteknuckle Hellcat last friday. I traded in my 2021 go mango R/T Shaker, paired with a 6 speed manual transmission. Sad to see it go, especially losing the manual experience. It was also my first V8 car, 2nd challenger. With that said, this was the dream all along, I cried when I drove home and heard the supercharger. I always loved the laguna leather that these models come with. As well as the orange on the brembos, and the snorkel hood. Last thing I will say is, is that 717hp is really something special. Dodge is knocked it out of the park. The red key is never leaving my side. I am beyond grateful to have this opportunity.

Redeye or Demon, and why?

If you could choose to have one or the other, and money isn’t a concern, which would you pick and why?

Optioned however you’d like

Putting the 2018 demon pic, as I like the full widebody look better, but we can bring the 170 into the conversation too.

Dodge challenger or BMW 540i

Hi everyone, I’m planning to purchase a used car in the $30k–$40k range. I currently own a 2019 Honda Accord 1.5T, but I’ll be giving it to my dad. My annual income is around $70k, and I plan to put $15k–$20k down on the next vehicle.
Up to this point, I’ve mainly owned Honda and Nissan sedans, and they’ve been extremely reliable with just routine maintenance and regular upkeep. Right now, I’m considering two options: a Dodge Challenger and a BMW 540i.
I’d appreciate some advice from owners or anyone with experience regarding:
Insurance costs
Maintenance and repair expenses
Driving experience and comfort compared to the Accord
Overall reliability and long-term ownership expectations
I know Hondas are known for lasting a long time with basic maintenance, so I’m also curious whether the Challenger or 540i can offer similar reliability if properly maintained.

Covered in pollen, still looks mean as hell

Went hiking/fishing with a buddy today and it was looking pretty sweet in the parking lot.

It’s been way too long since I got her cleaned up. She still looks pretty good after all these years 😊

Vibration at 1500 rpms

When I crank her she will be fine until she hits abt 1500 rpms and will have a pretty loud vibration for a second before she drops below 1500. But if I rev to 15 it will vibrate. And ideas? Has anyone else experienced this? Ive gotten underneath her but can't put my finger on it. I can tell it's coming from the rear. Thanks. 2016 392 manual

Spark Plugs

Hello everyone, I'm looking to ask around and make sure I'm not crazy...but I'm approaching 100k miles on my 2014 Dodge Challenger RT (manual 6 speed), so I wanted to change my spark plugs. I saw some recommendations that I should get the OEM ones. Sure, so I went to my dealership and was quoted $30 per spark plug, X16 and tax, it was over $500 for just the plugs themselves, to which they told me I'll need to gap them myself (I would do it anyways just to check).

Is this realistic? I remember replacing my sparkplugs on my dodge ram 5.9l for less than $100 in parts. I knew they were going to be pricey, but I didn't expect Xbox level prices for spark plugs.

I see on the official mopar site, even though they have multiple options, if I select even the most expensive ones, they come out to $320 ($80 for 4, X4), which is part number SP143877AB. They say they fit, but just looking for input here, what others have used, etc.

I honestly think either the parts guy was trying to rip me off, or he viewed the $30 4 pack and multiplied that by 16 instead of 4.

EDIT: Sorry I should've clarified, I already know how to replace them, it's just the pricing/finding of the parts that I'm having trouble with. The quote above was for JUST the parts.
