Last night I was caught up in a dream that I had my 2021 Charger Redeye in a NASCAR race. (damn dog woke me up before I could do a lap).

I know not 1 single part of my car is in a real NASCAR, but would I be able to keep up with a NASCAR at Daytona for 1 lap? Or will the weight and suspension of my car have me go flying over the wall in the 1st turn? I thinks I am 1000 lbs heavier.

This seems similar.

I always told my wife her Charger Scat reminded me of a Nascar racer. Maybe you'll cross the finish line tonight! Get your rest.

Power wise you might be close, suspension wise, not even.

Dax Shepard compared the Charger HC to a Nascar on Top Gear, it's the episode where they offroad with a Nissan Z or 300Z and a van from the 70's with a waterbed, pretty hilarious. I think the charger is as close as you can get to a Nascar with a production car. Nascar cars are built and geared specifically for racing, your cars made to pick up a carton of milk (really quickly). Engine would probably blow after a hundred miles trying to keep up.

I would say you would blow the tires out the first time you tried to plow 4000+lbs into the banking at the 180/190 you would need to average 190 like the NASCAR folks. We can hit those speeds but I really do not think you will want to make a turn at those speeds and try to AVERAGE 190 around Daytona.

I had the opportunity to do one of those nascar driving deals, those cars are very far from any street car. So much gear, such quick steering, very taught suspension.

Well, say I changed my tires to the same ones on Nascar. It the Redeye capable of making say 4 laps at 190 mph without crashing / failing or blowing up the engine or drive train???

Well..... if you speak French (even if you don't you'll get the point)..

You need to do one of the ride along or drive experiences. I spent 30 min driving it progressively faster.
And a 3 lap ride with a pro going faster than they allowed me to go. I have some vertigo issues and during the ride along I was already feeling bad from the g forces on lap 2.
It's far more brutal than a street car.

You are looking for a Miata with a Hellcat drivetrain. Go buy that orange one that keeps getting wrecked lol

Only a person who has never spent any time in or around a purpose built race car would ask this question. Can a Gulfstream keep up with a F22?
