The power is great, but I'll always love how the challenger looks. It's a voluptuous woman, not dainty, all the right curves, modern but classic aesthetic.
To all the haters ! It's simple if you don't like Dodge then don't watch the videos. Nobody needs to hear the chidish comments . If you watched it then you must have been interested !
I work at Brampton Assembly. There is a 50% chance I installed the radiators on all your testing cars. I LOVE hearing the positive feedback for the cars my brother and sister workers are so proud of building! Just think... we have lucky workers who are paid to drive these bad-boys off the final line everyday.
Thank you for the top notch work! These cars performed awesomely at the track. And if it’s anything like the Demon, it’s going to survive a pretty tough beating! -Hansen
@@ShiftingLanes When all the boys were having lunch the day we all heard about the world record on the production wheelie... well, lol. You should have seen the smiles ear to ear. I consider blessed to watch these pass me 500 times a shift
@@c.albrow9161 We're all classed as production workers. Our current rate is $35/hr. Our wages count for less than 10% of the final cost on our cars overall
Thank you sir for a great review. You did not show your face for a 15 minute narcissistic selfie review like most reviewers- you showed the car and the car performing - that’s why we click- subscribed and thanks again- keep up the good work - showing the star of the show- the car
TOO BAD CALI NEW EXHAUST LAW MAKES CALIFORNIA THE STUPIDEST PLACE TO LIVE WITH A V8 or FART CAN OR A RICER INSPIRED EXHAUST SYSTEM!!! At least you have TESLA there 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
I'm 55 years old and am smart enough to realize that my SRT392 is all the power I need. I don't have to push it as hard as my old RT 5.7, but I can push it a lot harder. I know I'm too damn old and with not a lot of sport driving, so there is no need to add 200hp for me. I understand exactly what he is saying about feeling more comfortable in the lower power car. These are some damn fine vehicles and deserve to be driven regularly and taken to stretch out on a track, either road or drag, every once in a while.
I’m 26 and I agree. Hellcats are more for the drag strip, or mile run. The 392s are easier to throw around a track without worrying if you’re going to spin out because of too much power.
It’s nice but from experience and owning a high horsepower 69 muscle car- that is hard to drive in the turns- having all those horses mean EVERYTHING in a 1/4 mile- also knowing you have one of the kings of the jungle at your command is priceless.
Absolute beast!! I am a mustang guy but man you must respect this thing! I can make my car 800hp, to get it from the factory just makes dodge the king at this time. Hopefully GM and Ford can get off there fucking hands and compete. That is what makes the competition try harder! Great review!
@@anthonymolina7416 eh idk if thats gonna top the bhp that the hellcat redeye has it might come close but i don't see ford making a mustang that powerful out of the factory
I’m a mustang lover, and my dream car is to have a 2014 gt500 Shelby mustang but these new redeyes are my second option. Beautiful challenger, damn mopar or no car 💨
If you’ve ever worked on these cars you’d soon realize one thing odd. The Challenger, 300, and Charger are all on the same chassis, and have been for many years. I totally agree.
Dont remove weight.. Weight is good when you have a lot of power, expecially in curves since the weight will press the car down on the road which gives better handling.
When you dont know how to use a vehicle's power properly, of course the lesser power of vehicles will be more fun for you. A good review but not a professional opinionated review. Once you drive the track more and more you become more confident and comfortable. Practice makes perfect. Get some seat time and review the red eye again.
Well maybe so if I don't want to drive a moded Fusion with a horse on it! Plus pay that much for a more moded Fusion with a horse on it! Just because Ford builds a Fusion looking car and calls it a Mustang doesn't mean I've got to like it or buy the ugly thing just because they call it a Mustang, to me that's stupid!!
Great Challenger model review and critic.............well said and edited! Glad you emphasized that even tons of HP doesn't make a great track car.......better left for the drag strip , bench racing and bragging rights.
Drag racing is way better anyhow. From the 60s to now...... Mopar has been about one thing and have mostly ruled Factory stock and strip. Drag racing. Sure AAR CUDA AND T/A CHALLENGER 1 YR BUT.... NOT THE TIME OR MONEY PUT INTO IT. OFCOURSE.THE 340 6 PACK SCORED WHERE MOPARS SCORE, THE STREET AND STRIP
I own a Hellcat, 3 Demons, aRoush Stage 3 Mustang and a ZL1. Hands down the Dodges are the best. Mustang has no back seat or trunk and the ride is horrible, same goes for the ZL1.. the very slight advantage they have on a road course is more than given back up on the straightaways. I use a Hellcat for a daily driver and have driven it cross county... It is comfortable, has a back seat and huge trunk... all the creature comforts, handles great in sport or track mode, and can outrun just about anything you’d like... And oh yeah, i get 22 mpg on the highway IF I can keep my right foot in check.... Message me if you are interested in buying the Roush or ZL1.... :) Dollar for dollar, NOTHING IS CLOSE.... In MHO ...... Most haters cannot afford any of then in reality, so post negative while they dream of owning one.
Excuse my french, but this was a fuckin awesome video. Im from Northern Maine and I love my mopar. Amazing attention to detail here, loved every second of this video. You got my respect dude!
Great review! I may not have a redeye, however I can relate to what you said about forgetting about the scat pack when driving on the road in a hellcat. It's a night and day difference. I owned a 17 charger Daytona 392 then traded up for an 18 hellcat charger. You just can't get enough of that supercharger whine!
Of course the demon takes care of that And if you say 720s? Demonology took his Demon and beat it twice. Then to prove it was not only his Demon? He took another Demon and beat it 3 more times
The Demon does 0-60 in 2.3 seconds huh? That is at the TRACK snowflake with skinny front tires and no roll out. Did u also know thats on 100 octane gas with the front passenger and rear passenger seats removed? And the Redeye is doing 0-60 on 91 octane full weight. Know WTF ur talking about before u make a RU-vid video and spread a bunch of BS! U dont pick up 1.2 seconds with 40 hp try to wrap ur head around why ur comment is so stupid trying to compare it to a stock Redeye. Do reserach before u make videos!
Very informative video! Thanks for the info! This makes for a puzzling question? HELLCAT REDEYE? Or... The ZR1 VETTE? 65 grand is a huge difference! Well, we ARE in the midst of the MUSCLE CAR REVOLUTION!
That really depends on your style. Both are going to be scary on the track but the ZR1 is obviously going to be a much better platform for that. As for street cruising, you can't beat the Hellcat or the Hellcat Redeye -Hansen
you dont know much about buisness. Dodge is an American brand. You have to import a Dodge anywhere but America. Soo yes its American. Nothing is more American than a pushrod V8.
Who the fuck do you think you are? tough guy behind the key board. why dont you shut the fuck up. I could give two shits what you think you fucking troll. Go fuck yourself.
Has anyone ever provide a full video review of the functionalities of the JEEP SRT. For example, audio, navigation, engine, steering (driving in straight-line), body inspection, memory settings, wipers, and etc. I have completed some research, and I have never seen so many SRT for resale (Whether JEEP or Dodge). I did made some phone calls to sellers, and did get some feedbacks regarding functionality issues. Let me know what you think. From what I understand, these are all BAILOUT vehicles. Safety is a concern.The reason why the demon is on ebay, is because it's garbage.
The problem with the Demon and its msrp was that not one dealership sold it for that. They were going for well over $130k here. Looking online, it was the same for those listings as well. I'll keep my supercharged '16 SRT 392.
This car has approved itself since the first production in the beginning of seventies with the hard work of Dodge Team. It’s the dream car and I really love it and the Dodge company. Wish you the best. Mahmoud Abdu
I have a 2018 Hellcat widebody. All these car today are nut sack crazy with lots of hp. We’re all going to lose our licenses. Better order that scooter. I had a 2013 Boss 302 but got tired of that small car and it shifted like garbage unfortunately. Love the look of the cat and it drives nice. Great cruiser.
The only thing brakes are for on a road course are pitting. Competent drivers know to use the transmission for braking in conjunction with the foot brake.
$6,000 for 3 tenths bragging rights and “better handling” you dont need in a muscle car. Thats not why you buy the widebody. You buy one because it looks and goes like a Demon and it costs less. The scat wide body is really cool but honestly people will constantly think its a hellcat or demon and will want to race and it wont be able to hang. Just my opinion though
Nice review 👍🏻 I'm going to order a 2019 Hellcat Widebody 717 hp like your video seems to stress, I felt I really didn't need the extra power of the Redeye. The base Hellcat at 717 hp is still a lot of hp . I'm stuck on what color to get . I currently have a red Corvette Z06 so red is out . Since you were around all of the new Challengers. What color did you think looked the best ? Thanks
Good choice! Wide body is a worthy upgrade. There’s 14 colors to choose from. F8 Green is new and looks very unique but I don’t think it’s for everyone. My pick would be Destroyer Grey. White Knuckle is a second choice. Thank you for watching! -Hansen
If you don't mind me putting in my 2 cents, I own a 2016 hellcat it's plum crazy purple with black wheels, sun roof and the black satin hood that I'm so happy I got after days of going back and forth about getting . I also suggest looking into c quartz coating it makes the car sparkle besides protecting. Look at different combinations with stripes, black satin hood, rims, and plum crazy purple. I'm very happy with the car and the color plum crazy purple you either love the color or hate it.
@@peterszl Same i just picked up a 2016 plum crazy purple hellcat challenger fully loaded 2k its my dream car and love everything about it got it for a steal and i can always add my own 305s for better traction.
Destroyer grey, f8 green is bad ass, look.before you go with anything else. I know you said no red BUT u may want to see Octane Red. Purplish ( dark) Red( dark) combined. My god its beautiful
Why do they make limited production cars? That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. This is the fastest car we've ever made. We only made a few and no more. Sucks to be you if you missed out.
Lets state the real facts.No Demon sold to the public has ran a 9.65 and Chrysler did not use the drag radials they deliver the car with to run the 9.65.Secondly they had a stripped Demon with no rear seat,no sunroof a no option car and a 120 pound female driver.They ran a 9.68 with a similarly sized other driver.Most demons are running a low 10 second time with the rear seat in place and a normal size driver.A few have seen very high 9 second times and none at 140 mph.The Red eye which does not come with drag radials ,once fitted with a set will run within a tenth or 2 of what the Demon runs.Next the 11 horsepower difference between the 808 h.p Demon and 797 h.p Red eye is the different hoods.The demon hood allows for more cold air to get into the engine bay.Give the red eye the 840 h.p tune and it will be a very very close race.My friend ran a 10.54 in an all stock 2017 Challenger hellcat on mickey thompson drag radials here in montreal at Napierville dragway.Obviously the red eye will be several tenths quicker.A red eye on skinnies and drag radials will give a demon a great run.
Really no? There's a video of some guy running from the police at 200 mph and the gas tank lasted over an hour. Stop hopping on the bandwagon and do your research.
Holly shit that's almost as fast as my Ninja ZX14 at 9.8 stock but it's turbocharged so it does 8.8 and I weigh 270 lbs. Money to be made summer of 2019. Beautiful car!
Everyone remember that old 2018 challenger concept? The white one that I like to call the "Naga" due to it's slicked aggressive redesign? If they can find a way to make the Challenger lighter and better handling while maintaining its true muscle car look, as well as it's comfort, I honestly believe it would outsell the Camaro and Stang by miles. Couple ideas? Aluminum or other lightweight engine material. DOHC(for more power and fuel efficiency). Transaxle(rear mount transmission. for better weight distribution). More aluminum. Maybe some kev/FG/Carbon body panels or something. Big single twin scroll variable geometry turbo with 180 degree 8-2 or 8-1 headers for the next gen demon. Oh, and it's gotta have anti-lag. And a screamer pipe. Preferably out the hood or dumped just behind the front wheels open-header style.
I've owned lots of sports cars, most recently went from a 370z to a scat pack to a hellcat widebody, believe it or not this 2 ton porker handles WAAAAY better than the Nissan did. Edit: also 70/30? No way man, more like 57/43
