1970 Dodge Charger Tantrum - Jay Leno's Garage 

12:01 Jay: "Thats the biggest intercooler ive ever seen" dude: "Thank You"

"The engine is the sound system." I fuckin love that. As much as I love music, there is just nothing like the sounds coming off a powerful engine.

"1650 HP and I want you to use every bit of it." "Sure, let me just give LAX a call and have them shut down for a minute."

The Mercury Racing 1650 was already sick but the rigging of such a beast under the hood of that car was just amazing. Absolutely flawless welds on both ends of those turbos. Dad and I really enjoyed this great car and video together... My dad isn't doing too good so it was great quality time. Thanks guys.

who else wants a complete garage tour!

One of the most impressive cars I've seen on this channel. That motor is a work of art.

I love the fact that Jay Leno still loves the burnout. He may have gray hair but he's still an 18-year-old inside :)

Best line I’ve heard in awhile.... “The sound systems in the motor”! 👍👍 I love how low it sits. Even at stock height it’d still be lower than anything built today.

"The sound system is in the motor". I love that. As it should be.

A 1650 HP speedboat engine in a 70' Charger? That thing is ferocious!!

now THAT is how you stance a car! This honestly is one of the best chargers I've ever seen. In fact one of the best customized cars I've seen, period.

Jay is a class act ! , he has some of the coolest rarest cars on the planet , and he is cool enough to showcase them .Bravo , Jay is a down to earth car guy that made it through the crazy world of show business . Thanks !

Jay: It have a sound system? Mr. SpeedKore: It's in the motor.

I laughed at 21:46 when Jay feeds it and starts screaming! The look of fear and concern on the owners face for a second was priceless he even started lifting his left hand up in panic lol.

When you fully upgrade a car in forza

This is my dream car. I'm 21 and have no job but I hope to drive this beast once. I don't know how but I'll be a proud owner of a 1970 Dodge charger one day.

that is the baddest charger I EVER seen! just flawless!

The level of workmanship is stunning on this thing. it was really apparent when it was up on the lift. Plus, major points for having the balls to stick an offshore racing boat powerplant into this car.

Jay, there is NOBODY than yourself that can make any car test fun. Always nice to watch what ya got. Thanks

LONG LIVE JAY, The King of cars. Period.

Yesterday I farted in a bus and people turned around. Felt like I was in The Voice

When I was a kid, one of the "dream cars" was the Vector W2, with a twin-turbo Chevy 350. How far we have come.

What a beautiful piece of machine

"sound system is in the motor" love it amen brother!

I think that car frightened Jay.

This is an amazing car! The way cars are built these days is unreal!

Probably one of my favorite cars on this show. Wish I had one in my garage.

That was an amazing car. Thank you to the company that built it.

First read Channing Tatum😂

literally a coffin a wheels. I Love it.

This cars an absolute beast! You know its scary fast when Jay says hes scared to lay into it.

I love how the engine roars instead of turbo's sound over powering the beautiful motor

This is how the new chargers should've looked.

1650hp is insane. With the boat motor, I thought you guys would be wearing life jackets for the drive.

They didnt even touch on the most interesting part of the engine! I guess they didnt want to overly promote Mercury Marine and more just focus on the build aspects.. lol.. But the coolest part of that motor is the custom quad cams! dohc on both heads! Amazing head work and design by Mercury Marine to incorporate dohc heads on a V8! Obviously that thing must breathe AMAZING! Kinda like 2 k20 heads on a v8 block! Always dreamed about that! lol.. Awesome stuff.

Hold up.... I may be going crazy but did he say 1650HP?!???? Jesus what a car

WOW! ..............Now that's a FREAKING motor!!

Maybe my hearing ain't 20/20, but did he just say 1650 hp?

Thank you Jay every time you put a big smile on my kid face... in those times i'm just four years old... and i love that ...

Jay, that was one of the coolest cars I've ever seen. Didn't like the hood scoope, but the rest of the car was amazing. Thanks for demonstrating it.

Whats the thought process of putting a Boat Engine in a Car? Where they like "Mhh we have this charger what Engine are we gonna put in it? Well its a Boat so we might as well put a Boat Engine in it."

OMG ... that things scary! I think I'M IN LOVE ... Thanks Jay

Wow...the builder is soooo understated then does a wailing burnout!!!! This build is almost beyond my comprehension, thank you Jay .....Amazing

Man, this this thing is a dream. Must be nice to be able to create such things...real craftsmanship.

are wisconsin folks irish? what the hell was that irish Accent Jay

I don't know, does anyone else think the light gray grill and taillights thing doesn't look good? And fixed headlights..

That Charger is AWSOME !!!

The noise ! Woke me up in Brisbane Australia the other night when they were filming ! Sound travels over water albeit The Pacific Ocean !

I love this channel!!! That was the most interesting car I have seen in here.. & I've been watching for a long time now. It's a shame we couldn't see more footage of it on the road & expressway.

This guy didn't answer a single question directly.

That is easily in the top ten best builds I've ever seen....probably in the top 5. The sound is damn near perfect.... So well done!

Listening to the two gentlemen that showed the car to Leno and the quality workmanship, the mechanics and fabricators that worked on this , were some of the top of the business !!!!!!!

Get this car, your neighbors will love you for it !

Lap belts? Jesus... you'd think a 5-point harness would be standard.

my dream car right here...favorite cars of all-time, the old chargers...so beautiful

One of the most amazing cars on Jay Leno's Garage.!!!!!!! So much fab and detail.

Outstanding job! Beautiful car!

My dad still has his GTX with the original 440 in it. Great car

This car is so awesome I want one

I cannot tell you how perfect this car is. Even though it has crazy power, these guys still managed to used dials and switches, which, for some reason, has been faded out by cringe screens. I love the wheels, the look, the carbon, the power, the interior, everything. It is just a breath of fresh air to see something done exactly how I would. Seeing someone mod a car but still calling back to the 70s with the dials and gages is just so beautiful. Great work, it embodies everything I would love in a car.

It's been a very long time since my first glimpse of an engine caused me to make an involuntary noise. Something like "phuagh" in this case. That is pure power porn, and I didn't even know what it was at the time. It just looks utterly, beautifully overpowered.

my god, that is the nastiest sounding V8 I've heard in a long time, really awesome engine.

Jay is one of my fav comedians kinda laughing inside when i see him put the car on the lift and start examining it like a kid in a candy store

OUCH!!!!... this car is SO BADASS!

1650 horsepower, with lap belts?? But has a roll cage. Seems legit haha

LOL! The dude was supposes to walk off when his partner was called to step into the camera shot, but instead hes lurking around in the back like a castaway! Lmao

Its incredible the amount of work and dedication has gone into this car .

Jay that was a take off ....burnout as you know is holding the brakes wile spinning the rear wheels ........lol love you show I really enjoy the diversity of the vehicles....

If it doesn't make Jay scream like a teenage girl when pulling onto the highway it's not exciting enough!

I like the body except the tail lights and emblem. The original 68-70 Charger rear styling cannot be beat . I also like how there is no sound system .

I bow down to the craftmanship, and that engine!

First time I have ever seen Jay concerned about putting the pedal to the metal. That beauty must be a complete beast. Best channel on RU-vid. Thanks Jay.

Dom's new ride?

The old Coke bottle Chargers are my favorite car of all time. This thing is incredible! Great Job! Is it for sale????

Jay, this was the first time I have ever seen you genuinely concerned about the explosive power potential under the hood of a profile car. Rightly so. This one is preternatural. It is a work of art, with an Atlas 5 powerplant.

GOOD LORD ALMIGHTY!! Not since Phoebe Cates first stepped out of the pool have I been so entranced at a video screen.

I definitely think this one scared you Jay. I have never seen you pass on a burn out...

Anyone else think of Dominic Toretto when he mentioned Dominic ?

Absolutely awesome that you got this work of art up on a lift and showed the bottom'.. Thanks for doing that!

Sound system is in the motor. Love it!

Wish I could buy car like that.

Isn't the qc4 engine platform based on a big block Chevy?

There it is, this is the finest Piece of Workmanship i have seen and herd so for, the Car will be real hard to beat, Very Very Nice!!

07:00 to 07:10 ..a perfect example of why I can't watch Jays videos after everyone goes to bed >< you owe me new eardrums Jay!

Jay defo seemed to meet his match power wise. He mentioned at least 4x how he was concerned to tear the rear tires loose.

Well, the Charger is a boat, so it makes sense to put a boat engine in it.

SOUND SYSTEM IS in the motor, yaaaaaaaaa man, And a damn good sounding radio it is

Of ALL The car's There and have seen, This Car is the one that I would Want.

NEXT CAR THE REGERA BY KOENIGSEGG JAY PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN

While I'm glad there are folks out there like these guys, and they certainly have built something special which showcases their talent, it just doesn't do it for me. I'm a big Mopar fan, but a car that has so much horsepower you can't put your foot down for fear of spinning out sounds like more worry than usable fun. 1650hp is impressive just like 1000hp is but these numbers are getting silly and I have to wonder if they are overcompensating for something? To each their own, and it does look great but not my taste.

OMG, what a beast. Lovely build.

one hell of a ride a throw back to the old school but new school turbo, mercury boat engine true out law

I get the feeling that thing scares the hell out of you Jay.. You gettin' old on us? It's /only/ 1650 horse power... lol

Tell us Jay ..... Is a Tantrum on your List to Acquire ??? maybe at 11-1200 HP it might be more fun to Boot around town with ...Ya Think ? Thank You For bringing this to You Tube, Keep 'em Coming !

When Carbon Fiber Meets Muscle Cars: This Madness Happens. What a Outrageous Car. One of the Best Dodge Charger Custom Made

SpeedKore is no joke. The 67 Camaro for Chris Evans is their finest build imo.

This is one of those episodes where everyone should just shut up and listen to the car. I don't care about what shocks it has. Just rip it up.

lap belts? seriously?

I read down a ways, but not every comment, so I don't know if this was covered. Cooling is cooling. The block holds a certain amount of coolant and the coolant pump pumps a certain amount of coolant. Modern boats run thermostats, just like a car. A boat engine also has to come up to operating temperature, which is the same as a car. The main difference is that most boats run 2 water pumps, the block pump (usually a more efficient version of the block mounted pump) that circulates engine coolant, and a "sea-water" pump that circulates the "lake water". In a stern-drive, the seawater pump is in the bottom of the "leg", by the prop. The "lake water", in most cases, runs through a "liquid to liquid" heat exchanger, which is the marine equivalent of a radiator. The exchanger is usually a lot smaller and has copper tubes inside rather than the fins of a radiator. The "lake water" is a lot colder than the air, so it does a better job of cooling the engine coolant, which is why the exchanger can be smaller. In a car, you are using a "liquid to air" exchanger, which we call a radiator. The fact that it is a marine motor makes no difference, it still requires the same cooling as an equivalent automotive motor. The radiator and fans are sized to match the application, just like any engine swap, and, the fact the marine water pump is usually more efficient than automotive pumps, usually helps.

hp? "1650 and we'd like you to use all of it". I was so proud when he said that. whether he did or not i still salute you for saying it.
