Hi and thanks for letting me join. I just bought a a 23 Hellcat. I have a question for you owners out there. What is the difference between 2023 challenger hellcat and 2023 challenger hellcat widebody? I just can't seem to get a lot of info on the net. 440808947_1484299655630335_8527156438570817938_n.jpg 440822598_949905166678966_6242963376290204039_n.jpg 440837136_248875571615513_2296849466147904053_n.jpg 440876726_1675697029904588_4972544282371026586_n.jpg

As I have a NB challenger, the only differences I am aware of are the obvious ones.
Lots of WB owners here.
Beautiful Challenger!

Thanks. I don't see any differences other than the looks and tires. They say the Widebody handles better. Don't see anything different with the engine.

The wheels and tires are the obvious differences but there are a few suspension differences as well. NB is what some people incorrectly refer to as a Narrow Body when it's, in fact a standard body.

With the wider wheels and tires it should handle better but it is a appearance package for the most part

2019 Dodge Challenger Redeye WB
#13
The rear knuckles on widebody redeye are zero camber
He don’t have a Redeye.

I have owned both (regular and WB with the WB an RE) and have done extensive mods to the suspension to both. What is a zero camber knuckle?

Camber is changed with the connection arms (no camber adj possible with a stock unit on either), so help me understand.

Answered my own question. For the WB and regular body Hellcat no difference. A Redeye does contain these knuckles which prohibits camber gain with the suspension travel. All of them have the same camber stock. So this is one upgrade the Redeye has that costs about $600 at Direct Connection if the Hellcat owner wants them.

Some unverified thoughts on different spring rates at one point in the past, I don't know one way or the other if that was ever verified.

Narrow Body (regular body).
A quick way to differentiate the the body in 2 letters, hence WB / NB.
