How much does a Daytona 392 weigh?
The Daytona 392 typically weighs around 4,200 to 4,350 pounds in curb weight, with the exact figure depending on transmission and optional equipment.
What is the Daytona 392?
The Daytona 392 is a modern, high-performance edition of the Dodge Challenger SRT lineup, powered by a 6.4-liter Hemi V8 (the 392). It carries performance-focused hardware and styling cues that align with Dodge’s Daytona heritage. Official Dodge specifications do not publish a unique curb-weight number for the Daytona 392 separate from the base Challenger SRT 392 platform, so weight figures are generally quoted as a range within the SRT 392 family and can vary slightly based on options and drivetrain.
Engine and performance context
Powered by the 6.4-liter Hemi V8, the Daytona 392 delivers substantial horsepower and torque, with accompanying suspension, brakes, and aero equipment designed for spirited driving and track capability. Those performance features contribute to the overall curb weight alongside any optional packages you choose.
How weight is affected
Weight for the Daytona 392 is influenced by transmission choice (manual vs. automatic), wheel-and-tire setup, aero components, brakes, and interior trim. While Dodge does not publish a separate Daytona-392 curb-weight figure, the car sits in the same weight envelope as other Challenger SRT 392 variants, with modest differences across model years and options.
Weight figures by configuration
Below are typical curb-weight ranges reported for common Daytona 392 configurations. Exact numbers can vary by model year and options.
- Manual transmission (6-speed) Daytona 392: approximately 4,200–4,250 pounds
- Automatic transmission (8-speed) Daytona 392: approximately 4,250–4,350 pounds
- Daytona 392 with additional performance/track packages: generally within the same broad range, often toward the higher end due to equipment
These figures represent approximate curb weights and can shift with tires, wheels, aero kits, and interior trim choices.
Practical implications
Weight affects acceleration, braking, and handling. The Daytona 392’s powerplant and tuning help offset its mass, delivering strong performance, but the heavier curb weight compared with lighter sports cars means modestly different 0–60 mph times and fuel economy than smaller, lighter rivals.
