Is the 2024 Charger SRT Banshee Stage 2 a BETTER muscle car than a Dodge Demon? 

That's because the 2006 Charger was actually called the Intrepid but at the last minute the marketing team changed the name to Charger because of all the changes they had made. The rest, as they say, is history.

Engine swap. Hellephant.

@@nightwolf9723 - Not sure why that story ever gained traction, there's no truth in that whatsoever. Dodge had already decided with it's 99' Charger concept that their next large 4-door production car would be named Charger. It's unfortunate that Daimler made the call to switch the upcoming Charger off the newly revised RWD LH architecture- as it was simply better in every way than what we ended up with. Thev engineers stress to this day that the car based on the 99 concept would've been over 850 lbs. lighter than the bloated LX. Yes at the time the HEMI V8's hadn't yet started development, but Dodge was originally going to go with aluminum OHC V8's derived from the new 4.7 V8 at the time. HP for the 4.7 RT concept was 325 but on natural gas- would've been higher on gasoline. Dodge was never carrying the Intrepid name forward after 2004, as they felt the name had gained a bad image after the slew of issues that they had with those cars.

This is nonsense

Don’t like EV’s

Right I always recommend his page to anyone car shopping just for that reason

And the BMW i7 too.

And the BMW i7 too.

That’s my biggest complaint about EVs. No need to make them look like they’re out of Tron

Yeah, most EVs look like they were only sculpted by the wind with very little artistic input by a human - cough - looking at you Mercedes! - cough -, but with some clever ingenuity, you can have artistic style AND aerodynamics with little compromise.

Only thing this is proving is that the world is coming to an end.. what an insult to muscle cars 👎🏾

Your not driving this 😂

@@Red-ev8ls Lol why?

U gotta be kidding me 💀 I wish I would buy this EV tra$h.. it's a insult to muscle cars & anyone who buys it definitely never had any real love for true muscle cars 👌🏾

@@yungthorough just go to dodge and order a rolling chassis and put a hemi in it. Super easy

@@yungthorough I own a real muscle car, ‘71 Charger 383. Kindly shut up.

Amen!

Manual??

I concur. 😑

This would prob blow the doors off yours but I’m with you none the less …. Nothing like that ICE ripping through that exhaust

I’ll miss the sound but give me the performance and range any day.

You are the best Josh! Thanks for being so supportive!

if they can make 1000hp with a nasty take off, they can leave it with the manufacturers

Tesla is in the process of being blown off the map!

Hopefully they got enough loan cars

The French will soon be shutting Dodge down within a few years, so this thing will probably never make production.

Hope its as fast as a model 3 performance. It needs to beat that

@@nicholasn.2883 u know it will😈

@@nicholasn.2883 Model 3...Hell bro its a Dodge EV Muscle Car that thing better be on Tesla Plaid level...

I can see the base price for this at $60k at the very least. I honestly gave up on EVs because of how expensive they are like what’s the point of having an MSRP at $45k when no dealer has it under $53k? It’s a shame too because I was so excited about the Ioniq 5

@@emyhR it’s gonna be over 1k hp, easily $100k

Would look nice, but works against aerodynamics for the ev

You are so very right Brian!

2 door chargers ran from 1966 to 1978. During that time there were 4 generations , 66-67,68-70,71-74 and 75 - 78.

I'm thinking we are being deceived about a 2 door Charger. Looking at the side profile with the very large rear side windows, that concept car may very well be a 4 door slightly modified to be disguised as a 2 door. Sure hope I am wrong.

Give an merge

You got that right man

You might be, but the market is ravenous for EVs and many don't want a Tupperware looking car. People who otherwise wouldn't have looked twice at a charger will be all over this because it's a monster powerful EV that looks cool. Keep in mind that EV orders are literally off the charts. At current rate, the F150 lightning has a 27 YEAR backlog. (Yeah it'll drop as production ramps but still, massive backlog) The Sierra EV sold its entire first year run in less than one day. The Silverado EV isn't far behind. The market is finally ready for EVs and many of us want fun, performance oriented EVs that don't look like a tesla or a prius. The Charger is it.

@@SweetLou0523 think it’ll be hard to get one?

@@SavageXBenjis You definitely have to set your preorder in day one if you expect to get one within a reasonable timeframe.

You do understand the global infrastructure has been going electric for decades right? Everything is going green, renewable and electric. Its a great idea and produces a better, cleaner product for the money. Times change, dodges soul won’t. Its as American as the transistor.

I am glad that you are digging this one.

man, dream big and be optimistic. you gon get one the year they release it In-shaa Allah.

10 years nice, right in time to replace the 20k+ battery.

@@jesseobrien2641 you do realize that batteries last longer than that right? And now that EVs are being made at scale instead of small runs, that means batteries are much more widely available and will cost much less to refurbish/replace. For example: My 2011 prius battery is perfectly fine even at 120k miles. The oem battery is nicad, and was $3500-5500. There is now aftermarket LiFEp04 batteries which are significantly better, and only cost $2000. Time and development drives down prices.

@@jesseobrien2641 batteries vary depending on the company,,, it’s no depend than getting a crate engine and swapping,,, and plus the top of the line battery’s are like 20k+ and those are from telsa majority of the time,,, most replacement batteries cost between 4k to 18k for low range to mid range

I see it different. I think the whole ev experiment is going to fail. Power grid. Scarce resources. Short of a battery or power revolution I just can't see how the whole market can be made ev. I own two bolts btw.

@@shanewilfon6860 yeah man this Push for EVS is a bit much look at California.

@@shanewilfon6860 I agree with you, its going to fail. For every EV that gets built, someone has to build a charger to charge it. Not everyone lives in a house. Dense populations that live in apartments that will slow to adopt chargers due to cost and inconvenience. Hybrids are the future (and plugins). Nobody needs 400 miles of range 95% of the time. Waste of battery material from one high-range EV that could have been used for more plugins. Quite honestly, Plugin Hybrids are the future and every manufacture who has the resources should be focusing on that. Think about it, some places still have lead pipes for water lol and here we think chargers will be implemented?

EQS might be efficient but in terms of aesthetics it’s a monstrosity.

People just assume the technology will automatically be there, and I’m not convinced it will. Range and aero are likely to always be issues until energy storage density improves quite a bit.

Something to think about though. Batteries are not "green". You have to mine tons of crap from the earth to get enough lithium for one battery. We can't do it here due to all the federal restrictions. And where the mining is done in China and Africa, child labor is used and exploited, and there is no "OSHA" in those places, so you can imagine the working conditions. There probably isn't nearly as much lithium on or in earth as there is petroleum, and ironically, the electricity to charge the batteries is produced by power plants fueled by coal and natural gas. There are some nuclear power plants also. Finally, our nation's power grids, the experts say, can't sustain nationwide charging stations in use. Wind and solar power won't cut it. The automakers are making a big mistake going so fast into EV manufacture.

@@MisterMikeTexas There's no way the industry will move beyond the ancient gas-driven, internal combustion technology unless a paradigm shift occurs in consumer attitudes. We can pick away for another 50 years with gas engines but that's not going to contribute to increased technology on the EV side of the equation that will ultimately lead to lower cost and a smaller carbon footprint.

I think performance goes without saying. Tesla's already devour ICE mopars. This will be an answer to that.

LOL You are so right!

Hillarious to think they have a lock. If its that important someone will break it. Its digital. Hack it, clone it, worm it, code it... we got this.

I think you are so very right!

It's no longer a muscle car if you need speakers to pretend that it's a muscle car

@@michaelmcmillan2119 did you watch the video? It’s not a speaker. It creates its own sound similarly to how a pipe organ works.

@@LowkeyHundo wow still not a muscle car unless it has a v8 gas engine, it's a an electric car pretending to be a muscle car, if it needs a pipe organ to mimic exhaust from a v8 engine it's not a muscle car.

You'll be okay man.

I know how you feel Corvin!

I will be curious to see if someone can engine swap a hemi into this. Then I will be interested 😈

Thanks for your input and perspective,

I fucking hate lights with a passion, halogen and xenon arc all the way. Another thing a can’t stand is no 440 v8 2 stroke DFI with oil injection. 4 stroke in cars suck!

You won’t hear it…

You’ll hear fake sounds.

@@StinceVaples do your research

@At T no.

That is very true.

Electric cars shouldn't imitate how ICE cars sound. That is just next level stupidity. If you want a car that sounds like a v8 or any other ICE vehicle, you should get an ICE vehicle. Thats just wasted energy going to power external speakers, instead of powering the drivetrain. It also sounds terrible.

@@Eastsidegeorgiaboy so your saying you like the vacuum noise coming out more than a V8 sound you want your car to sound like Jetsons going down the road weeeeeeerrr bruh that sounds more terrible than a artificial V8

You have those like myself who just likes the Hemi and the sound it produces. We know that this will blow V8's out of the water in regards to speed, but fans like myself couldn't care less. Hearing that V8 rumble while you drive gives me a feeling that others I'm sure can relate to. If Dodge can create a sound that sounds great, things would be different. But even then, you'll have gearheads who won't care. We just love our Hemi's.

Go hug a tree you electric nut job

@@marqj301 yeah it will blow v8s away but who gives a fuck car enthusiest want an engine with rumble and power who wants a quiet 100% power down only tesla lovers.

I agree, the hate is unwarranted. It looks awesome! First EV I have seen that I actually like

It is going to be interesting to see how it pans out!

Eh, ain't that big of a miracle imo it's still pretty cool tho.

@@dayburks in all honesty, they both look like ass, I was just trying to be nice. After all, I could have a 4 door "Charger", or a 2 door electric piece of shit with a dust buster sound for exhaust. There, that's what I really think!

@@dayburks this one actually looks like it's a charger, as it has many styling elements from the 1970 charger. The crap that dodge has been offering over the last decade looks absolutely nothing like a charger. It looks like a dodge avenger on steroids.

Have fun looking for a charging station 😂

@@krninja22 they are all over the place what do you mean

@@krninja22 plus you charge at your home when you’re not driving

@@grahamhill7913 No they aren't. They are also reporting that charging output is not the same across the board. And for long trips? Expect hour+ wait at a charging station. Also batteries wane over time, so a full charge now will not be the same in 10 years. And that EV you're charging at your home, is generated by fossil fuels. EV just isn't there yet and for me, I'll stick with gas all day.

Stay tuned Kevin!
