I plan on keeping the 2018 HW M6 until I’m buried in it. I have no interest in an electric performance car, but the writing is on the wall that, that is where the segment is heading. I’ll keep my pushrod engine dinosaur of a performance car as long as I can drive!

The Mustangs one could argue because they're so mass produced, the 2011 Coyote and newer. You can get them cheap a 2012 and have a fast car.


That's why you see the jokes on here about the terrible Mustang drivers. Look at the onscene videos on youtube from Southern California of major street racing accidents and a ton of them are Mustangs and in a lot of cases some POS v6 Mustang. There is an ONSCENE video recently of a mustang in an industrial park going too fast and flipped crashing into an industrial park building. Both kids ejected and killed, brain matter on the wall. Another recent accident a V6 Mustang racing and killed an old lady. All in southern California.


The one into the wall looked like it might been ECOBOOST too.


The Challengers have some terrible drivers too. Notice in the ghettos in Atlanta, St. Louis, Houston, LA they're popular cars to drive in the ghetto. They're always wrecking in Atlanta and St. Louis and getting stolen.


There are videos on youtube of salvage yards. The ones in Atlanta are just full of late model Challengers and Chargers, 392s and Hellcats. Some of them even repossess and the owners ripped them up.

There are at least half a dozen different gearsets for the TR6060. I have a feeling that for the NA Challenger the ratios look like this:
TR6060-Chrysler 2.97 2.10 1.46 1.00 0.74 0.50

The Hellcats get the closer 2.26 1.58 1.19 1.00 0.77 0.63

If you can confirm which gearset your car has - or if it has some other gearset entirely - and supply me with your Challenger's rear tire size I can give you a full plot of speeds, rpms, and gears. Even the rev drops from shifting at your choice of upshift rpm. A 3% correction for tire tread flexibility is included (none of the online speeds-in-gears calculators even know about that).


Happy to help.


Norm
