2024 Charger Daytona Twin Turbo vs S650 Mustang GT V8

I give you my thoughts on the recent spy photos of the 2024 Charger Daytona which reveal all the makings of an internal combustion offering despite Dodge only stating that it was going to be an EV. This will make for an interesting comparison between the 2024 S650 Mustang GT with its 486 horsepower V8 and Dodge's new 2024 Charger Daytona, which will likely come equipped with their new Hurricane inline 6-cylinder turbo engine making in the neighborhood of 520hp and be all wheel drive.

[@rustyhamilton2908]

@daviiwonder are you?

[@shannonandsheila1403]

Why anyone would buy a broke down car is beyond me

[@Alan-tr5uj]

I’ve been a Mopar diehard LONG before the L-cars and the Gen III V8’s ever existed. I’ve built hot slant-6 Scamps, turbo 4.0L I6 Jeeps, and numerous 80s & early 90s Turbo II cars; they were all magnificent, and way different than anything else on the road. Yes I’ve had several insane Mopar 4-cylinder cars as well- 1st gen Neon ACR’s, R/Ts, a sleeper Neon Highline with a stroked 2.4 with a massive turbo, etc. Nevermind the SRT4’s that I also dabbled in. Hell I even supercharged my 00’ Dakota RT. Mopar has and is so much more to me than two outgoing full size cars and their V8 engines. Mopar Inline 6 engines are bulletproof, they just last forever- boost or no boost. I’m excited and fully invested in Dodge releasing new product finally- and to have TT I6 gasoline engines in that mix should light the fire for Mopar Diehard fans the world over. These turbo engines are equally at the roots of Mopars rich history, as much as the V8’s from the 50s & 60s; let’s not overlook the fact that Chrysler Corp. was at the forefront pushing the envelope in the 80s to build great rare performance machines when GM was pumping out and installing impotent 5.0 V8s in every RWD vehicle they built in the 80s. Hell I’m rooting for Dodge- I HOPE the Charger Daytona EV is a kickass high performance EV that gets the sales to compete against the high performance Teslas. I know the Hornet NEEDS to find customers in regular people wanting a fun, efficient commuter crossover. The sooner Dodge gets back to being a full line automaker selling MANY compliant cars to the masses-, as it once did but ceded all of its market nearly a decade ago- the sooner we get cool limited halo-cars with killer engines. The ONLY reason the V8 is going away is because the GEN III’s just aren’t emissions compliant- and Dodge sells nothing else to generate the capital needed to invest the cash needed to develop a new high end engine family for its cars. Stellantis invests in Jeep and RAM- the Hurricanes were developed for Jeep & RAM, so Dodge as a consequence gets that engine family. Dodge doesn’t generate the kind of money for Stellantis to invest that kind of money for specialized V8 engines for a couple high-hp muscle cars that sell in numbers under 100k/yr. The V6 models even the last few years still accounted for nearly 58% of all Chargers, Challengers, 300’s, Durangos and Grand Cherokees built. Dodge needs to establish other models and get its CAFE way up. Dodge has pulled off miracles before, and it can again. Dodge needs to get that minivan mojo back too- it all helps get the brand get back to building its wild engines once again. There is still time- GM and FORD both continue to invest in their V8’s- but they also sell many different vehicles to offset those V8’s.

[@DopeisDan]

Absolutely agree their inline 6s are tanks. My 01 XJ is pushing 300k miles and it’s still running strong

[@karlbishop7481]

I am a very long time Moparite. I had and still have a love affair with the Slant Six. It is terrific to see Chrysler putting some eggs in the straight six basket. My wife has a Pentastar Cherokee, I would expect her next car would be a Hurricane Hybrid to suit her type of driving if such a vehicle becomes available. She is already making noises about the Wagoneer but we have a couple of more years to go before we replace her Grand Cherokee L.

@rodhks6480 No I actually love the idea, I just wish dodge would offer the V8 as an option. I own an M6 and this was the main reason why I chose it because I didn't like the sound of the i6 but I loved the body style of the m3 and m4 and I couldn't afford the m5 or m8 so I just went with the M6 which I love. Sounds amazing. Performance is everything to me but I like to enjoy the sound it makes. Literally I don't listen to the radio because my engine is music to my ears🤣.

Great vid racer! You made a great point today I’m actually debating this new hurricane!

[@jjlyeag21]

Great video, good food for thought RacerX. You touched on some good points from the performance point of view. My take on the forced induction engines is how long will they last? I purchased a 2006 charger Daytona R/T torred red brand new (divorce present) lol. I still own this car to this day 314k and counting. (Original drivetrain). I also purchased a 2021 scat pack brand new. IMO the naturally aspirated engine hemi will have a longer service life than the twin turbo engine offerings. The question in time to come is will the forced induction engines hold up in long run? Time will tell. But I have my doubts.

[@OleSevers]

I don’t think you will be seeing extremely high mileage out of these forced induction engines. They will perform but I’m sure they will run into problems under 100k miles

Check CJ pony parts makes a video comparing the s550 base 2015 which was the lightest to base s650 and premiym. The base s650 is 3740lbs while the premium with brembo package s650 is 3780 n base s550 is 3780lbs. It is not heavy amd yes the performance is similar is simply s550 with added goodies on it.

The 3946lbs is fully loaded dark horse and the 3827lbs is fully loaded gt with pp and magneride with full tank of gas so the s550 2018 with pp n magneride was 3860 with equivalent gas in the tank.

[@bonbon1286]

I could be wrong but the 2.0l 4xe would be the most ideal powertrain for a entry level gt charger, stepping up the 420hp hurricane SO in an R/T and probably a 525hp HO hurricane-6 in a Charger Super Bee. The Charger is going to be an all around better car than the mustang especially with some direct connection upgrades, jailbreak packages and so on. I know people are saying about the prototype truck being a TRX but strategically speaking it would seem to lend itself more to being a rebel than a trx. Reason I say that is a hurricane is closer to the output of a regular raptor whereas the trx and raptor r are really the two trucks that compete. It would make sense for the Rex to continue on with a cleaner hellcat powertrain, leaving everything else move forward with a hurricane-6. Just my thoughts.

[@Timmer2022]

You bring up some interesting points. I think it's way too late for them to try and develop a cleaner hellcat platform thou especially if it would only be used in the TRX since everything else hellcat powered is going to be done. They could do something similar to the raptor thou and offer the TT I6 in the standard TRX and still use the hellcat platform in a higher trim or special edition model. Keep production numbers low to where they would have a minimal effect on their CAFE numbers. That's the only way I see a supercharged V8 staying in the picture thou.

We haven't seen what the front of that car with an ice motor in It looks like it might have a completely different front end.

[@chrism6880]

I've owned Dodges (practically) my entire adult life. Until their CEO publicly admits the power crystal (any system wherein a consumer has to pay extra to use features or capabilities that are already built into the vehicle they own) is a mistake that insults their customers, and apologizes for not firing the person who suggested it, I'll never buy another.

@RacerX if they smart they can design that i6 block to accept a HEMI head with bigger ports intake and a supercharger for HurriCat Daytona with 1000hp and more torque than the V8 Demon and they could put it in the Truck for the new Warlock.

I have a Challenger GT and just got my 2024 Mustang GT… I love the V8 way to much to not go for one next time around

[@Bless0ne]

The Dodge Charger Daytona is a nice looking car. I'll purchase one only if it's AWD with a manual transmission and hurricane engine.

[@josephdelaney6787]

I remember the Buick grand national when it came out. And v8 guys were saying the same thing as they do now. Then when they found out the GN was smoking all the v8s including corvettes they changed there tuned. That’s all dodge is doing is making a modern day GN. Damn the sound. U can sound good all u want if u getting smoked on the line by that v6 u will be embarrassed for 1 and that sound won’t matter.

[@Fxzi904]

I currently drive a hellcat challenger and I think I could see my self getting the new charger. If it’s light then it would be a fun car. Would be losing the rumbly v8 but it could be dodges version of the bmw m4

Most recent Motor Trend called the new Charger (combined Challenger/Charger) is a sedan…surely not!

[@DucknCoverin]

I don’t know why people are talking like production on this vehicle is confirmed….let alone for 2024. It’s still very much in the development stage. The new year is two months away. Stellantis would be heavily promoting this car if ANY version of it was going on sale for 2024. All they’re hyping is that rebadged Alfa Tonale. A lot of wishful thinking going on here.

[@richierich398]

Crossing my fingers that the charger Daytona has an ice engine. I currently own a charger RT with a 5.7 hemi. I love the car. I love V8’s. I love Hemi’s. But I’d gladly take a hurricane in line 6 Charger over an EV.

[@srthellcathemi3037]

I personally don't like the idea of a charger with a inline 6, it just doesn't scream classic Dukes of Hazzard General Lee 340, 383, 426 or 440 Magnum v8. It will purr 3.0 litre inline 6 500+ HP, which I think should be put in a brand new built 2025 Srt Viper .

[@arnoldkeen6393]

When the 2024 Mustangs computers are finally hacked, the HP potential will be just like the old days while the Dodge V6 will always be limited.

[@netgnostic1627]

Which one is quickest? EV? Cool. I'll take one of those, please.

I’d actually pick the dodge even if we don’t get the v8. I don’t think ford does a good job when it comes to their performance products unless it’s a shelby.

[@TheAceKannon]

If it has an engine option, it’ll only be a matter of time before somebody swaps it anyway. They just made it easier lol

I go off of looks so I’d still rather get the inline6 dodge over the v8 ford, I haven’t liked the mustang since the 2005-2014 mustang bodies, I just bought a 2010 challenger rT this year, I just went off of looks and any v8 for the sound with custom exhausts. My other cars are a 1974 Chevelle, a 73 el Camino, and a 1999 Jeep Wrangler 4.0

Dodge sold way more 4 door Chargers than 2 door Challengers. Not sure what Stellantis is thinking! Building an ICE is smart. In Europe they offer flexible platforms that can offer ICE, EV, Hybrid
