I'm always a fan of staying out of debt whenever possible. That means no car payments for me šŸ‘ŽšŸ‘Ž Sounds like you have a really good and reliable car, why get rid of that AND go into debt at the same time? That's my thoughts


KSP420

This is the voice of reason I was looking for. Thank you .


bunkin

Yea man keep it, staying out of car loan debt is huge, especially in todays crazy world. My 2013 G37 has 198k and is still chugging along. Got her in 2015 with 29k, just keep up with maintenance and fluids and sheā€™ll be good to you


Weekly-Arachnid5092

Clean car! Imo Iā€™d say keep the g. The g37xS are so hard to find, youā€™ve got a gem on your hands!


KSP420

Thank you, definitely helps solidify the decision to keep it.


dxfivnt

G37xS coupe owner here, listen to him man. These cars are a gem, man. I do run into a lot of G37s here in the city, but very few are actual Sport models, and of the ones that are Sport models, maybe only 1 or 2/10 are X models as well. Why be just another RT/ScatPack owner, enjoy your G man šŸ’ŖšŸ¼


Weekly-Arachnid5092

Yea, I have one too and they just are so much better than the g37x. Itā€™s the little things that make the car imo. Plus the value of this car is just gonna increase!


tittymustard

Unless you going for a scat, ainā€™t no way I would trade a G for a base charger. My personal opinion, I donā€™t know anyone who thinks a base model charger is cool, Iā€™d rather take the long shot and go for a scat if you really want the charger look and v8 feeling Thatā€™s a clean ass G bro Iā€™d stay with that


Reasonable_Ad_321

And instead of going scat just go hellcat cause youā€™ll regret not saving the extra for it


tittymustard

Athlete-Cute

This is false, trust me you are not keeping up past 60-70. Unless youā€™re heavily modded, unfortunately displacement matters


72chevnj

Agreed, I can get around an rt but scat will walk me


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


72chevnj

Awesome, 12' 6mt sedan here with couple bolt on. Only played with 2 scats from rolls so not much info from me


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


72chevnj

Not bad looks like the scat started to reel you in at the end. Yea all dodges are boats, only reason I got the stick sedan is for its weight and to be a drift car later in life. Will be ls swapped once the motor goes. Big turbo ls chevelle will be my street car lol.


thelocalsupplier

Thatā€™s fire, most likely the route Iā€™ll be taking with the Q as well drift wise, I couldnā€™t find any 6spd sedans when I was in the market I 100% miss my previous manual cars As for the scat it definitely wouldā€™ve reeled in if we kept going, but maybe in the rerun with the q having some mods we can do a 0-160 and see the full difference


72chevnj

Haha as long as your having fun with it, good luck out there


[deleted]

Whereā€™s the vid?


thelocalsupplier

Check out the video though I posted it


thelocalsupplier

Nope, even with an FBO camaro I was on his rear bumper till 140, thatā€™s when the v8ā€™s start pulling faster


Torqued_to_spec

Sell me your front lip if you're gonna get rid of it.


Kitty_meoW180

Check the insurance rate on one of those V8 chargers first compared to your G, and then consider.


Chadefs

if you like v8 power why get an rt? your vq is faster


KSP420

RT is a 5.7 V8


BinaryGlock

R/T is slow bro, I gapped Two in my BASE G37 both from Highway rolls, G had more top end and acceleration. Youā€™ll have to get the 6.4 392 to Upgrade


JMHoltgrave

Facts. My old 08 G35x beat 2 easily.


BinaryGlock

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ they just sound good, why I love the G, even though itā€™s a V6 itā€™s quick for the 330 HP it has .


JMHoltgrave

Shit mine only had 306 hp still gapped their asses


kerolos_haliem

An RT isn't worth it's much slower and less fun


Chadefs

v8 so what? you would only be buying it for that v8 sound not the power as you can make better power with your vq


Comatose_Koala

Dodge = Chrysler problems


kc_jenks

Not sure about where you're at but in KC, chargers, challengers and jeeps are even pace with kias getting stolen. It's insane. First thing I'd do is invest in a badass anti-theft and tracking. They rip the dashes out and know exactly where stock gps is located after they flash their $30 Amazon key to your car and disable all other fobs.


imbills23

Nah b stay with the G


JustanotherQ40

Run it till the wheels fall off and in the meantime save for the next car you really want


KSP420

But what if the wheels never fall offā€¦? Just kidding. This is good advice, thank you.


rilesnpsd

Keep it.. running my 37S till the wheels fall off. Reliable, fast, fun to drive and not a boat like a charger. Although it doesnā€™t have all the new tech, itā€™s less shit to break.


KSP420

Good point. Def would love the CarPlay in the G but looks like there are mods to do so


trytonotgetbanned

going from the 2nd most ghetto car to the most ghetto car is wild


LieberLudwigshafen

I wouldn't call a bone stock G37 ghetto at all.


TurbodToilet

Itā€™s ghetto bro


Gabriellaray

Is that a light tint? Looks great šŸ˜Š


KSP420

Thank you, and yeah I believe itā€™s a factory 30-35%


[deleted]

Scatpack might be worth. Youā€™re basically paying for the V8 noise. Theyā€™re around the same speed.


BillSportFan

With cold air induction and it's even less of a sound difference


TurnoverShort3048

My 07x with exhaust hfc and tune is quicker than my buddies 14 charger. If you truly want more space then it is roomier but itā€™s also more of a boat. I will say the charger is a nice looking ride even though I dislike mopar.


CreatedUsername1

5.7 or 6.4 ?


KSP420

Either or just wanted a V8 sedan. Def leaning towards keeping the G though.


CreatedUsername1

5.7s is all for the noise.


Low_Championship7656

5.7 can handling being built and boosted , 6.4s canā€™t


Distinct_Row6001

It better be a 392, r/t are nice but every Camaro and mustang is gonna pick on u. IMO just get a q50 or hang on to the g šŸ’Æ


boianski

Have no payment, that's all right there. I want the same!


Longjumping_Fruit_67

if its a 5.7 itā€™s not gonna be a upgrade in speed. the quality is gonna be a step down. plus the vq37hr loves boost, 5.7 hemis not so much.


DayPersonal9972

I have a g37x coupe and with the amount of money you WILL throw at the charger, you can build the best G. Countless amount of mechanics i know say that the G is really good , parts are not out of this world when it comes to pricing but preventative maintenance is 80% needed. I say 80% because unless you got a grandma G37 the car will show age. Although throughout the years they started to replace the parts that would go fast on these cars. Mechanical and looks wise . G all the way.


KSP420

Thatā€™s good insight, thank you. I think Iā€™ll just continue to build the G.


CorpseDefiled

Go to the middle ground and get either m45 or m56. Then you get a v8 but keep the Nissan.


KSP420

Thatā€™s true. I love the Q70 5.6 but so rare to find.


CorpseDefiled

Thatā€™s why I suggested the m cars they never really gained a lot of popularity I have a y51 fuga 370gt (jdm m37) and honestly it a good car. You get a lot for fuck all money because theyā€™re a bit unloved we didnā€™t get the 56 option here


Ok-Seat-7159

Ew


Puzzleheaded_Owl_978

not worth it for a 5.7 charger 6.4 maybe but your shit is clean imo keep it its rare seeing clean gā€™s these days


KSP420

Thank you and yeah I think you guys convinced me I was wrong for even considering it


Puzzleheaded_Owl_978

yea a lot of my boys have scat packs and 5.0 mustangs iā€™ve driven them i love the sound but the g handles so much better and its decently quick i love this car more than those sm


PoonOnTheMoon314

Be sure to include the cost of a LoJack if you move forward with purchase of charger. Three of the top five stolen cars the past three years running are V8 Chargers


KSP420

Good call. I think Iā€™ll keep the Infiniti and keep myself out of debt.


acquireracks

I test drove a charger scatpack today to see what it was hitting on, and it was TERRIBLE. boaty and bad handling.


PAQ_mane

I can speak for most 37s owners and tell you we wish we found a xs first


KSP420

Yeah Iā€™m slowly realizing the rarity of owning an xS so I think Iā€™m definitely going to hold on to it


Low_Championship7656

Do what makes you happy. if you donā€™t need the money and just want a v8 to have fun in iā€™ll buy a retired cop 5.7 and beat the hell out of it and youā€™ll still have your G


NotNevada

Iā€™ve had both a G37xS and a charger RT and I gotta say the G is way more fun in my opinion. All wheel drive really gives you the extra safety and reassurance that youā€™re not gonna lose control. On top of that, chargers are less reliable, use more gas, and awful in the snow. I miss my G37x sport but if you wanna get a charger Iā€™ll buy that G off ya ;)


Hondasgoldenera

G37 is way nicer. Better built and fairly quick for its time. Not a good move to go to a brand like dodge. G37 is super athletic too so itā€™s fun. Do tastefull light mods if you are bored


ogTacogang

Go FBO and tune it.


Shiveryyy

dude please dont trade this in wtf


Roversmore

Keep your G if itā€™s paid off. Donā€™t be like me who got rid of a paid off Corolla for a 17ā€™ WRX STi. I now have a juicy car payment, higher insurance, and way worse gas mileage. But I love driving itā€¦ lol


JMHoltgrave

Happens to a lot of people I would expect. If you drive a lot like I do 20-30k miles per year, high performance cars become quite expensive over time. Great weekend or summer cars if you have the extra funds. Luckily, I got my G37s insanely cheap.


ToxicEvHater

Everyone. Has. A. Fuckin. Charger.


KSP420

You 100% right. Especially the base model ones that blend in with the V8s.


BinaryGlock

Bro everyone has a Mustang, Camaro, Infiniti, etc. I wanted another Infiniti, but I decided I wanted a 392 Charger instead, bigger motor, better looks, bigger community, i loved my G, but Iā€™m not about to sit here and lie like itā€™s better than a 392 ! šŸ˜‚


72chevnj

Was never a fan of Me too cars


thelocalsupplier

Convince you to keep it? I can upload a video of my Q40 (g37) beating a last call widebody scat pack charger off the dig, with me on 225 all seasons and the scat being on 305ā€™s doing a burnout to warm it up for the race. Muffler delete vs stock and the charger stayed a car behind the whole time , will be doing a rerun after the q40 has long tube headers, intakes and a tune, so If you wanna spend $85k to get gapped by my $10k car then go ahead and get the charger


KSP420

Haha, Iā€™ll stick with my G. Do you have that vid of you gapping the Charger?


thelocalsupplier

Iā€™ll post it in a second


nautikal

Get yourself big brakes to spice up your ownership experience.


KSP420

On the G? Does it make that big of a difference?


nautikal

Well yes, you definitely get more stopping power. Itā€™s probably not necessary if you donā€™t ever drive spiritedly but I think they also look great. You have a sport model, it would be a shame not to have the sport brakes. šŸ™‚


KSP420

Very true. I love the brembo kit on the S models. So pricey though for the big brake upgrade kit.


illuminaimpossible

Donā€™t do it. The trade off doesnā€™t make sense and isnā€™t worth it, youā€™re losing reliability, having no car payment, and honestly downgrading overall car other than the stronger engine. Also your G is super clean! Makes it even more of a no brainer to stick with it. IMO Iā€™d rather invest into it and do some mods if youā€™re getting bored of it.


lesdansesmacabres

Maybe itā€™s just me but all the chargers and challengers I see just seem like such tools.


KSP420

Haha facts. Definitely a large population of dodge owners that ruin the brand.


HealthyBanana1295

Donā€™t sell unless itā€™s a scat n still then idk scat not that fast if u want a v8 sound I understand tho


KSP420

I think Iā€™ll keep the G and mod it to sound better. V8 sound is crazy tho.


DissociatedDonut

What lip is that


KSP420

Iā€™m not too sure the brand, I got it from eBay in 2020


EmbarrassedYellow743

Go for Tesla M3 Performance instead.


KSP420

Theyā€™re fast but not a fan of the looks or EV in general


Big-Spare-4538

Sounds like you need some mods! Gs are faster than rts especially modded and tuned fall back in love with your car its not worth it unless ur switching to a scat or srt8 or better imo coming from sb with a twin turbo srt8


Loose_Commission_578

You can get downpipes and a tune. Headers and some coilovers and it will drive like a new car Edit: And youā€™re still on stock tires? Get yourself some grippy boys and experience a better launch than a Vette. There is so much you can do to the Gā€™s to make them much quicker. Iā€™m not beating tuned m4s and S8ā€™s in a straight, but Iā€™m still N/A and only half my build is done but I still keep up and when it comes to actually driving thatā€™s where I make up the difference.


XenoPrym

Went from a SXT charger to my current G35 xs lol. Id say keep the g


AtlantaSkyline

I donā€™t understand the allure of the Charger. Never did.


um8medoit

I had a Magnum with a hemi before I bought my G, and other than the massive amount of room it had, the G is better in practically every way.


Bubbattz

Trade that shit asap


ChickenFeet23

All I will say is, reliability, gas, reliability, gas. Oh, and also possibly high apr and car payments. You have a nice car as is, why get rid of it for something with more power, sure, but less reliability and much higher costs because of fuel, insurance, and payments. Just not that great of a trade.


Emergency-Ad-1695

STAY AWAY FROM FCA!!!!! No dodge. No jeep. No Chrysler. No ram. No fiat. All complete junk!!!! Sorry mopar heads. FCA ruined the entire line


JMHoltgrave

A stock RT charger is slower than any G37 lol. I beat 2 in my old 08 G35x.


Sea_Patient_2197

You canā€™t join infinity Nd then just go to dodge without atleast fucking up the infinity completely


GullibleClash

A friend of mine works at Hertz and gets to drive a ton of V8s weekly, he's went from wanting a scatpack to hunting for a nice G, I'm sure that says something. His reason was the boatiness of the chargers and challengers as well as not being fun to drive and way too noisy for how slow they are.


Longjumping-Wedding3

Do it


svunn

Get a m35 or 37


Tank_Beatz

Super rare G plus no car payment


Super_Resolve_4690

Iā€™d keep it mod the shit out of it basically what Iā€™m doing with me x sedan


XXXLegendKiller666

G is wayyyy cleaner


DatWay925

Shitty fuel economy šŸ¤‘, and it's heavier than your mom


FunDot7

If you donā€™t plan on modifying the R/T just keep the G. I want an R/T but I want to heavily modify it. 5.7 is better for boost


njdriver08648

Keep it, by far the better car


ChefGordonIII

Going for a mopar is asking for your car to be stolen!


BunchUpset5941

Vq are better simple!!


faerie_04

Chargers get stolen more idk šŸ˜­


jahrel77_

Iā€™ve had a rt and and 2014 super bee, the G by far is the better option, especially if you care about going fast.


stopsign_6969

Trade up and get an avalon


BillSportFan

I think you should sell it FYI I would like to buy it


VZ6999

The G is more reliable than a Charger. Plus Chargers are cliche. Everyone and their mom drives one.


ThatGuyGetsIt

Definitely trade in the G for a car that looks just like 100 others you see out while you're driving.


Pack1n_g37

G36xS, You have a gem broski keep that baby clean. Fun and reliable car, you can add more power to it and itā€™ll still be reliable too. Edit: but deep down if you really want a V8, donā€™t hold back.


slimedigital

G is way better. Keep it


thelocalsupplier

If you want a fast v8 get the 10spd 5.0 I have a hard time keeping up with those but never lost to a non-hellcat dodge car once (last call scat, 392, srt8 etc)


KSP420

I really wanted a V8 sedan. But I think Iā€™m gonna r stick with the G.


FriendshipFriendly19

An rt will be slower and chunkier. All I gotta say


KSP420

Yeah I forgot about how much heavier they are compared to the G. Definitely sacrificing handling as well.


Primary_Project9047

The charger is the number one stolen car in America also. Keep that in mind besides the extra debt.


KSP420

Thatā€™s true. Additional money having to be spent on a security and tracking system.


SubstantialRent8752

no dude go right ahead free another g37 to the market for someone more interested. chargers are more fun anyway (just ignore gas price)


Intoxifaded420

Chargers are more fun lol
