Questions about 2014 Dodge Charger

[next charm]

I'm 16 and I just bought a used Red 2014 Dodge Charger. I'm semi-knowledgeable about cars but definitely not a genius. What would be a good place to start for internal upgrades and as well what would be a good cosmetic(interior and exterior look) for said car. I appreciate any help thanks! Oh also its the v8 Hemi version.

Do you have a lotta tools

It’s 11 years old now. You don’t need upgrades, you need maintenance. Look at the owners manual, there’s a maintenance schedule in the back, with mileage and what’s supposed to be done at that mileage. Look up what’s supposed to have been done so far, and unless you have maintenance records, assume it hasn’t been done and do it.

Fair enough. I have been already kind of on that journey got the AC condenser replaced as well as the radiatior and then all of the fluid changes and what not

If you want to go faster, take a performance driving school. You’ll be surprised what that car is capable of today, as it sits without any upgrades.

We call that the driver mod, its way more effective than any performance mod

Why

[weary hare]

Awesome! The fluid changes probably account for most of it. You replace brake fluid too? That’s the one most folks forget about

Not in a straight line ⚰️

I haven't tried one yet, does it increase grip?

[night egret]

[next charm]

[next charm]

[hidden estuary]

Honestly my truck has hella power steering so I never lose grip anyways

[next charm]

Thats what I got interior right now I'm kinda of debating wether or not to like fully commit to the muscle car look or give it a more sporty look like side skirts blakced out rims etc

[hidden estuary]

Tires

[next charm]

fair enough hopefully you wont be going that fast in a truck where grip on the steering wheel is a issue

[hidden estuary]

Strip the fairings and put them back on when you sell the car ⚰️

Suspension and aero and tires

In my experience tires make stuff handle the best outta those three
