Challenger Performance Pages: How to Use Every Feature
The Performance Pages feature built into the UConnect system is one of the Challenger's most underused tools. Here's a complete walkthrough.
What Is Performance Pages?
Performance Pages is a suite of driver performance and vehicle data screens available through the UConnect 8.4 touchscreen system on equipped Challengers (primarily SRT models, Scat Pack, and some R/T Plus configurations).
Accessing Performance Pages
- Start the engine
- Press the UConnect home button
- Navigate to the "Performance" tile or icon
- Select the desired display mode
Features and Modes
Drag Strip Mode
Records your 0–60 mph, 0–100 mph, and 1/4 mile times including reaction time (if you use the countdown timer). Displays trap speed and segment times. Best for: Measuring mods, comparing launch techniques.
G-Force Meter
Real-time lateral and longitudinal G-force display. Shows max G recorded in each direction. Best for: Understanding how hard the car is cornering, comparing tire performance.
Brake Performance Mode
Records stopping distances from preset speeds. Shows braking G-force during the event. Best for: Evaluating brake pad upgrades, measuring stopping improvement.
Coolant Temp, Oil Temp, Battery Voltage
Displays key engine temperatures and electrical health. Best for: Track monitoring to catch heat soak or cooling issues before they become serious.
Horsepower and Torque Display
Estimated real-time HP and TQ based on accelerometer and drivetrain calculations. Note: These are estimates, not dyno-accurate numbers. Fun to watch but not a replacement for a dyno.
Tips for Accurate Drag Strip Times
- Use the built-in countdown timer — it starts timing from when you first move
- Set the system before pulling into staging, not after
- Brake at the same consistent point each run
- Clear previous data between runs for clean comparisons
What Performance Pages Doesn't Do
It cannot log data over time to a file. For session data logging, pair it with a dedicated OBD-II logger or use a system like the AiM Solo which overlays GPS data with OBD channels.
