End Of an Era: Dodge Hellcat Muscle Cars - The Last Challenger & Charger - Test Drive and Review
In the past years, #Dodge has gone further and further into the extreme with their V8-powered cars. And it seems that with new EPA and CAFÉ regulations, we have reached the definitive peak of American #V8 #muscle cars. That’s why we want to dedicate this episode to Dodge muscle cars. So, if you’re a fan of raw American V8 muscle, this video is for you!
The 6.4L #Hemi is Dodge’s most powerful engine that can be had with a manual transmission. There simply is no more thrilling driving experience than driving a 6.4L V8 with a true six-speed stick shift. 485 horsepower and 475 lb. ft. torque on the rear wheels is insane. And all of that for a sticker price of under 54 grand. Models that go beyond that go all the way up to the 1,025 hp Hellcat Demon, with 945 lb. ft. torque being the only production car able of doing a wheelie from the factory with its 6.2L supercharged V8 engine. And Dodge bragging about the car’s ability to consume an entire tank of gas in only 15 minutes was the best part of this.
Dodge has been the OG of American muscle in recent years. Their Challenger is not only bigger, heavier and more American looking than its competitors, but it’s also faster than all of them, with the peak being the Hellcat Demon 170 setting an insane 0 to 60 time of only 1.66 seconds.
We’ll zoom in on some of the details of the last muscle cars from Dodge, but first we need to talk about the driving experience. It’s hard to match the fun and insanity of driving one of these. It’s more than just the speed, and this is why an electric Challenger can never replace it. Fake gearbox and fake engine noise sounds are like going from a enjoying a juicy ribeye steak at a true steakhouse to eating a beyond burger at Burger King.
The real sound of a large displacement V8 engine that can actually be heard...
…a gear shifter where you can feel the mechanical gears. Where it actually matters when and how you shift.
And so much raw power to the rear wheels! We got to drive this Challenger Shaker which is powered by a 5.7L V8 engine paired to a 6-speed manual, producing 375 hp and 410 lb. ft. of torque. ‘Shaker’ refers to the air inlet that sticks through the hood, where you can see the engine shake. Are they going to fake that too in the electric Challenger?
Speaking of sound, the exhaust pipes automatically open when you rev the car over 3000 RPM to release that brutal V8 growl.
These Challengers are the true modern incarnation of the 60s muscle cars. Muscular looks, crazy performance, with modern technology, and with a big-ass engine. There simply is no replacement for displacement!
One such modern thing is for example the keyless entry system, that allows you to lock the car with a press of a button. But it holds another trick. Not sure if you’ve ever tried locking your keyfob in the trunk, but we tried and it turns out you can’t. The trunk releases automatically. Smart thinking, Dodge! Smart thinking.
Speaking of openings, all hood scoops on the Dodges are real. We’ve shown you the shaker hood, which is the most extreme one of them all. This Jailbreak has a set of more traditional looking scoops in its hood. And if you thought those air inlets looked cool, look at this one in the Challenger: there’s an air inlet in a hole in the inner headlamp. Well, it’s not really a headlamp but it does light up.
The Dodge Charger Redeye Jailbreak that you’re looking at, is the last edition of the Charger. What does that mean? To start, 807 horsepower under the hood, which sounds like this:
You can recognize the Redeye Jailbreak first of all by a literal red eye in the Hellcat badge. Other than that, they’re almost as customizable as a Rolls Royce. Brake calipers are available in no less than six colors, inside a choice of seven wheel types. It’s got thick, supportive seats with Laguna leather finish-play Corinthian leather clip. They come in a variety of available colors, and even the seatbelts can be ordered in your custom color of choice. These ones are a fitting ‘Demonic Red’.
The red theme continues in the analog gauges and the engine start button. Just like the hood scoops, the carbon finish on the dashboard and center console is genuine, and gives the Jailbreak a sporty look. Inside all that carbon is a 8.4 inch touchscreen, featuring Dodge’s performance pages, so you can record and beat your own records.
The steering wheel can be customized with your choice of leather or Alcantara, the latter of which I don’t understand for a steering wheel. It’s a terrible material for a high-touch surface. What’s really cool is the SRT-badge on the steering wheel that lights up, available in either red or white.
The Dodge cars offer the most power for the money available in any sports or muscle car, and combined with the aggressive American design and nice creature comforts, they’re currently some of the most exciting and best deals available on the market. All I can say is: buy one while you still can.

2024 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Series III vs. Wagoneer - Detailed Tour, Review, Test Drive and Walkaround
Переглядів 40 тис.10 місяців тому
#Jeep #Wagoneer #grandwagoneer Full-size SUVs are America’s full-size luxury sedans of the modern age. Large, heavy, luxurious barges with big engines are still the finest mode of transportation in my book. Some people call them wasteful; I think it’s wasteful to drive a Prius and cry yourself to sleep at night. However, I was utterly undecided which one was the best. The Lincoln Navigator has ...

The first thing about the #Chrysler #LeBaron #convertible that catches the attention is the beautiful styling of the car.

Jeep clearly wants to go into the direction of a unified style for their urban models. The ne...

2015 Jeep Cherokee - Detailed tour, walkaround and review
I own a 2019 Ram Classic 1500 great truck i recommend it to anyone in need of a new Truck.
I have that same truck
WOW!!! I have watched a lot of videos of the Grand Wagoneer and this one had more detailed useful information. I’m waiting on the 2025s to come out and I’m getting one. I’m coming from a Mercedes GLS 580, I do love how the backseat window shades on the Mercedes are automatic and I do wish the Grand Wagoneer’s were also. Since I have been looking at a lot of different models, I do think most them have missed the mark on the air condition vents not being on the roof. Maybe they look better or more convenient for most people being on the side, but there needs to be a woman involved (😂) in designing these vehicles that thinks about infants/babies in rear facing car seats. They can’t feel the air conditioning, in the South, that’s a big deal. Angie, thanks for this video! I’m looking forward to getting mine.
Man this inline sounds better than these days v8's
I love my 2022 Grand Wagoneer. Looking at the 2024 in Obsidian.
That was a good review. Kept it moving and showed us how things work, engine and model comps etc. Very well done
Nice vehicle for sure. They could have better aligned tail light split between tail gate and D pillar for that price.
Amen 🙏
I have a 2024 as a rental now. Rides smooth - but in 5 years will be a total POS. Way WAY too many things that will break
So much was wrong info by two minutes 😂.
I just wish it had a column shifter. I have never been a fan of the weird dial thing
Old footage. 2024 is the Hurricane 6 Twin turbo standard (SO) 420HP Wagoneer and (HO) 510 HP (Grand) 6.4 was for 2022 and 23 MY. Both Hurricane engines (SO/HO) cover the regular and L models. o find the Hurricane has much better power and performance than either of the HEMI
The issue is that those are peak numbers. Overall performance isn't as good or as smooth. A V8 delivers constant power which turbo engines don't. On top of that, there's the durability issue, with turbo engines simply not lasting the hundreds of thousands of miles that American V8s do. If it was for the extra power, Jeep could've used the supercharged Hemi which they've done before. The only reason for the Hurricane to exist is CAFE regulations.
They already did a gen 2 refresh on them for 2025 🤦🏾♂️
Am planning to buy one but i been wondering how bad is the hemi tick ?
These should be good. And afaik, the tick doesn't affect engine durability. This guy explains it well: ua-cam.com/video/ZlFZAAq5ea8/v-deo.html
586 is the area code of Warren truck phone numbers in the plant
This dude is tall... :)
That Willys Jeep is the ancestor of Philippine Jeepneys
That's where the Philippine Jeepneys came from
Mine dont have that type of radio was that special made?
No; that's an original radio.
@@LCR is there different packages in 2005?
Yes, the navigation screen was part of the Luxury Performance Package.
@@LCR one more question, which one do I have? Is it just Performance? Could I get a radio like yours put in and what will it cost to do it. Thanks
@@TheToughLoveTarot The two other packages were the Luxury Package and the Premium Luxury Performance Package. If yours has the automatic windshield wipers, it came with the Luxury Package. Adaptive cruise and a HUD, plus special tuscany leather seats came with the Premium Luxury Performance Package. The STS in the video is not mine, we borrowed it to create that review. Unfortunately I can't tell you for sure if the advanced display can be built in afterwards. I do know the SRX can be converted from the Bose radio to the DVD nav, but it requires creating a custom adapter cable. It's not plug-and-play but it will work when properly connected.
Had one and loved
Good in-depth video of this car, I believe it’s the only one on UA-cam. What is your accent? It’s very thick, is it German? Some subtitles would be nice as I have a hard time deciphering the German(?) accent. Good video nevertheless.
Thank you for your comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I have added English subtitles, hopefully that helps you and other people who may have difficulty understanding the voice-over.
I am so in love with this car if I had the money I’d would buy ten more of them.🎉

I had to Rebuild the AWD Transfer Case, I discovered it can be switched over to 60/40. (the front wheels spin more than rear wheels) not good for road use, because it would damage Tires also make the care prone to lose control. i think it is only good for driving off road, especially sand (I don't really know tho)
That's surprising, since the 2WD variant was rear-wheel drive. I'd expect more power would be going to the rear wheels in a 60/40 config.
I have the Nav Radio. it's so much nicer than the base radio. I'm a mechanic with a nearby salvage yard that always have different SRX coming in stock. I always find good Parts with a great deal.
Very true. This one came originally in this configuration, but was actually converted to the navigation system after the video was made.
And you're still full of shit I drove the damn things so you want to talk about what it's like to drive one or any of that crap man. Get behind the freaking wheel and drive you will know exactly what you have and what you have is that what you think you got. Makes you an everything. Retard
Love the Tri-Five Chevys BUT, they were polluters with no safety features whatsoever. Open crankcases, inefficient carburetors, leaded fuel, single-reservoir master cylinder, drum brakes, etc. It is nice to see a survivor though. Can't believe the condition of those tires.
Oh yes, cars have absolutely improved a lot over the years! The design of these is still gorgeous though.
@@LCR Thanks for not cursing at me, I'm just telling the facts. Many people don't want to think just how unsafe these cars were.
Chrysler cars are made in Detroit Michigan. It's a cold and snowy place. They always did heated mirrors, no matter what.
That makes sense!
That’s one nice Dodge
Just like mine same color with 20k miles
Does anyone know what kind of running boards those are ?
The owner thinks they're dealer add-ons.
@@LCR they aren’t . They are the stock mudflaps, and they are some kind of rock slider, however they are painted body matching. Mud flaps were an add on but rock sliders were not. And the body matching paint was not a dealer option
I believe you. In that case, I wouldn't be able to tell you.
I have the same year/color. I get compliments every where I go. Owned 3 so far. It’s a street legal ATV. If people don’t get it, I take them from Denver and go up the dirt roads of the foothills to Nederland or Estes Park and maybe across a 2 foot deep river on the way. Then they get it!!
Best looking Ram! When you think of Ram trucks this is the iconic look!
Couldn't agree more!
I own one. What mechanism cancels the turn signals? Mine stopped canceling so have to cancel manually.
I assume it's in the turn signal stalk mechanism.
Straight six only!
Nice!
the suit is for ..... the day Job ?
Yes; the day job of presenting videos.
This is a 150 model not a 210.
Mine👍🙂😉
Kinda glad their are more new car companies on the rise or cool car companies it’s good to have a variety to choose from instead of the usual 😂
I thought it was supposed to fit 8 ppl? I don't see room for 8. Only 7
It depends on your second row option. The bench seat fits 3 people but the optional captain seats only fit 2.
I’m a Toyota girl, and I just bought this truck year and same trim. I’m excited
I just got my is a 2019 i love it and . I do love the big body size like he said looking like a monter 👍👍👍
Huge by 97 standards. I feel like a Suzuki Sidekick next to Super Duty pickups.
True, the super duties are massive, especially the dually ones.
Legit - safe travels@@LCR
3rd row is top notch
Hemi are definitely not one of the greatest engines they love to drop valves. Also the 24 models only come with a twin turbo inline 6
Bullshit - driven multiple 392 with absolutely no issue. Oil change every 5k miles and you’ll never have an issue.
@andrewmclaren858 that's your experience mine is them dropping valves. I've literally seen it multiple times . Odd one was #7 intake valve usually its exhaust valves
Crap
You are wrong. The 24 model years only come with the hurricane inline 6 engines .
I love this SUV. Iv rode it once, really comfortable and quiet.
100K for Jeep ? Nope !
