Nice. Good video. Later RJD

Thnx!

I make it a point in my life to seek truth and provide evidence for anything/everything I believe.
And part of that involves exposing all of the automotive internet myths that clog the airways.
I meet them head on, and refute them without prejudice.
I actually feel sorry for those who fall prey to them.

That doesn’t really confirm anything…

Actually, it confirms exactly and precisely everything every single thing I've been saying.

In closing my discussion with you, I also hope you enjoy your car.
But I want you (and everybody else) to enjoy it in Truth.
But for some reason, you don't want to embrace that.
For me, it is all I seek.

The facts:

Performance Pages estimates crank horsepower the exact same way on every 2026 Charger Sixpack Scat Pack running the same version

Multiple folks on here have mentioned in early miles the max they are seeing PP register is 390-420hp from performance pages (including in this very thread)

The car is rated by the manufacturer to create 550hp peak at the crank

Multiple folks have confirmed they are seeing greater than 500hp register on PP after they reach higher mileage than the initial manufacturer break-in

Can’t really get more Truth than that

The Facts:

Fact: You seem to embrace the rejection of concrete data

Fact: I've graciously supplied irrefutable data to you in great abundance

Fact: A large part of what people allegedly "report" on the internet is fake news

Fact: Even Dodge chose to use vehicles with less than 1,000 miles on them when showcasing the Six Pack's power/speed

Fact: Life taught me when to share information, and when that sharing of info has degraded to the point where any further discussion lacks merit

0-60 on an AWD launch-control car is dominated by traction and low-end torque, not peak horsepower. The Sixpack makes near 100% of peak torque at just 2,500 rpm, so even a power-capped car (390-420hp but full torque) could launch almost identically to a fully unlocked one, because the limiting factor off the line is tire grip, not what’s happening up at redline. Getting close to the OEM 0-60 number doesn’t really test whether the top-end power is there.

Just saying… the 1/8 mile isn’t really gonna test this well with that caveat, not that timed runs are a great proxy for repeated sensor data testing to begin with.

Anything you provided is far from concrete data with respect to peak horsepower and doesn’t begin to explain your HP at crank discrepancy from the sensors being 130 below OEM spec.

What can easily be explained is your time being near OEM quoted and not actually having peak power.

To date, I've never experienced wheel spin with my Charger 6 Scatpack.
LC or no LC. TC on or TC off. Whatever the case, no wheel spin.

Also, I rewatched Redline Reviews 0-60 test of the 6 Pack Scat Pack.
Odd how the number 4.4 keeps cropping up for 0-60 in Performance Pages ...

If I read correctly, tires are at 24 psi? That's a lot of rubber meeting the road when trying to break the tires loose. Might try increasing your tire psi to get better mileage too.

My door jam says 33 psi and when I bring up the pressure in the screen display for tire pressure mine says 33psi. Maybe the 24 for racing. Later RJD

I run mine at 35 all around. Seem to be the sweet spot for wear, performance, and grip. Depending on tire manufacture and tread design, +/- a psi or two may be best for you too.

Yep, as I'm not into any racing I usually run what is recommended. Later RJD

Those could say 34, hard to tell, but I see what you mean.

 

[baabootoo70]

The myth about lowering tire pressure for better traction only works off road!

 

[Ares463]

It's gotta say 34. I gotta think the car would yell at 24 lbs.
