Hey all, just joined. Mainly to lurk here to see what common items and issues between the Sixpack cars and the Daytona EVs.
I've had my Daytona well over a year now, and love it. Yep, some issues, but it is a blast to own and drive. I've had MANY MOPARs over the years.
A bunch of Turbo 2.2s, and a PT Turbo, several Minivans, old Slant Six vans, 3 5.7 HEMIs, and a 1 of 1 392 Scat Pack SHAKER Challenger.
I love big cars, learned to drive in a 72 Dodge van, and a 75 Impala, and the new Charger feels like a true "Big American Steel" of old.
FWIW, I've taken my Charger to the strip (Keystone Raceway Park) and ran a 11.4x @ 124 bone stock (of course) including factory tires.
I am the Super Moderator over for the sister car to this at Daytonaowners.com. I am wondering what type of issues these cars share since other than the powertrain, they are basically identical.
Some non powertrain issues we've seen are a lot of people with rear trunk/hatch issues, mainly on cars without PLUS and no remote trunk or ceiling button. Some passive entry issues. Wipers running randomly. Power seat issues. (2 door cars with tilt/move front seat)
 
Cool. I'd LOVE the option for the internal camera, but nothing yet. Secondly, a lot, and I, are wondering about the "lack" of the real Brembo brakes.

The DXR IS very cool. But only really compared to not having a DXR. The video quality is not great, (audio is!), and the app is buggy. The overlaid telemetry is way cool, but not 100% accurate. Overall it is an awesome toy, and decent-ish feature. It is outdated tech from Cosworth, the same as what is in Corvettes 10 years ago.
A pair of times I used it on Test and Tune nights


Also a video from my son in law with my grandson yelling "Go Grandpap!" in the background.

The brakes on my car are phenomenal, also because they are augmented by the regen action of the motors which can do .3g by themselves. And considering my car, with me in it, is basically 3 tons, every number out of the car is really impressive.
As for the Sixpack, I've only seen one in the showroom. Same car, except a plastic bin under the hood, a LOT of mechanical tech!
I'd love to drive one someday, and see what the AWD vs RWD feels like. I can do that in my car, but only by turning off the front motor, which makes it a dog.
