[@1911m1a1ellis]

Great to find a car show that doesn't have overbearing, cheesy rock music, with employees screaming and swearing at each other. Leno is a great, ego-free presenter. Well done sir.

[@vincentziino3635]

Ivoralbban and romana power

[@independent2368]

Yes it is, and hate that too. You we're probably thinking of GYC on the last part of that comment, if I had to guess lol. Thankfully it's better now, and is bearable to watch

[@4406bbldb]

Jay, I'm sure you know that Hurst shifter pistol grip was developed with Chrysler in Highland Park Michigan . well I'm happy to say that I was one of the test drivers and mechanics that continuously worked on that project till it was done . I had to make sure that it remained very shiftable .

[@mstratocaster3608]

Man, I'd love to have this and also a black and gold one. When I was 24 years old, I bought a brand new '74 Hurst Olds right off the showroom floor. It was a W-30 455 and it was Cameo White with Gold stripes and a padded black vinyl top with a white strip that ran across the car from door to door. Man was I in Heaven when I got behind the wheel. In '76 I traded it for a Chevrolet Good Times Van. Stupid stupid stupid!

[@ebayerr]

Yes.Looking back on it now it may have been a dumb thing to do. But,I'll bet there was a whole lot of fun had in that van.

[@jamesnelson485]

This is actually a very nice "gentleman's" hot rod, just as Mr. Flint asserts. A small but overlooked feature is that the stripes are PAINTED under the clear coat, which anyone who has lived with vinyl stripes over the paint will tell you HUGELY desirable. And all the talk of making the motor "livable under the horsepower" is much appreciated in this day and age of hugely over-boosted tuner cars. Vortech (in this case) and Procharger both make very nice and very livable centrifugal supercharger applications for most popular street car applications. Good stuff!

[@ebayerr]

Is the a centrifugal supercharger application for my 2005 Mercury Sable with 3.0 V6?

[@1979irock]

I wish I were Jay Leno so I had the knowledge and car collection he has, what a sweet life.

[@nicetna2010]

My favorite car, next to the Mustang. I really like the way Mopar adhered to its old school looks while the updated Hemi powerplant just churns out the torque. The supercharger makes sure nobody is sloughing off.

[@floydloonie4880]

Never under estimate the immaturity factor.... YOU GOT THAT RIGHT JAY!!! Growing older is necessary, growing up is optional!!!

[@richberg]

Love how Jay does a burnout every car, makes him more down to earth - keep it up!

[@aiPriori]

Awesome, I've been waiting for Jay Leno to do a review of a modern Dodge. Love the channel and his no-BS views of cars!

[@azaraftimos9146]

Strong muscle car. Brings memories back.

[@archiguitarchi]

Awesome burnout, and what a sound! Beautiful!

[@CodyShell]

My uncle rebuilt a 1969 Hurst Olds! Love the hurst stuff.

[@avgjoegeeknet]

LOL my favorite line.. "But will it do a burnout?" Always addressing the important features of a car. #My #Hero

[@DasE30Cuz]

I tried explaining that exactly to my girlfriend to no avail. I told her that's why I pass fast, to minimize the time around incompetent and slow drivers. I had no idea someone else in the world had common sense, thank you!

[@MrXYZ86]

Those Armenians with their BMWs always think everyone is trying to race them.

[@EricH928]

It makes riding a bike in Glendale such an adventure.

[@16rumpole]

yhey also love AMGS

[@shotgun-enjoyer]

lmao you're right aber

[@Closeoutracer]

Oh God yes.. so annoying. I had a 9.98 second Yamaha and had Chet in his calfskin gloves and a sub 300hp/3800lb 3 series come up and rev his engine. I did not oblige.. I was not impressed.

[@freshphilly85]

Love My Challenger!

[@668547ful]

+Doc Holliday im totally thinking of getting one in a few years

[@668547ful]

+Doc Holliday im totally thinking of getting one in a few years

[@freshphilly85]

DO IT! It's a timeless body model. It'll still be the envy of the road for years to come. New Age American Muscle!

[@carlitoxb110]

The only muscle car I like

[@xpatsteve]

I've always been more of a Mustang kinda guy but I have to admit, this Challenger looks and sounds great!

[@tonyrollman3991]

Loved my 84 hurst olds....should have put the lightning rod shifters in that beauty...luv it

[@sherbuy]

I love MOPAR, thank you Jay. I have very fond memories of my 65 Barracuda, V-8, under . $ 3,000. new. No problems for 9 years. Fold down the rear seat, huge area under glass. Also very comfortable ride. My Dad had a 57 DeSoto, also a great car. Like you say, it had a bullet proof drive train, and perfect suspension. Good memories. In those days GM cars had rock and roll suspensions, driving boats.

[@starview1]

Beautiful cars. Though I clean my old car with a tooth brush, sadly I don't think I'll ever have a chance to own such a magnificent machine as life has gotten to expensive, and the cash goes to other places of my needs, not to mention my wife would be disappointed.Although she knows I could fix it myself. Thank you for taking the time to display these wonderful machines.

[@andrewman111ah]

Lol ....toothbrush then it's scratched all to hell ...lol. only headlights with toothbrush and toothpaste

[@starview1]

andrewman111ah Actually the tooth brush only on the under carriage,to remove dirt lol.

[@andrewman111ah]

starview1 lol under carriage ......ok daisy duke ......lmao

[@supercooled]

divorce my friend. do what makes YOU happy.

[@TJJohnson92]

+supercooled Then life will be MORE expensive for him lol

[@DinoPuncher]

All of that and they just stuck a Hurst knob on the stock automatic shifter. What the shit, man.

[@charlesoconnor6247]

I’m sharing your pain borther

[@ericou812]

jay dude,thanks for showing us your car collection and uploading videos for us muscle car guys...your awesome!!!

[@FarouqAlzohaifi]

the best thing about this car is that its a cobination of clasic and modren cars , and it sounds damn good

[@shoominati23]

I've been looking at the new camaros, boss mustangs and this car for a little time now. The challenger had really done anything for me immediately, but you see it there in that paint scheme and BAM it really clicked for me!

[@GrotrianSeiler]

Huge tire smoke...Jay's such a kid. Fun.

[@stevefreeman730]

The burnout raises the COOL FACTOR 1000%.

[@Gadumpski]

Love the Hurst add~ons. Makes the little kid in me jump up and down and say "Yea! Do it again! Do another burn~out Jay!"

[@tedhaze1]

awesome .this is the best channel on youtube

[@christ510]

Thanks for sharing Jay and Happy New Year.

[@mariahlovescraig]

Best channel i just found, wow jay thanks for share such great cars and bike really means alot 2 us

[@EricTheOld]

BURN OUT! Thanks for sharing Jay!

[@floydloonie4880]

That Hurst shifter was a magic wand that was hooked to the coolest flying carpet! I wanted a Challenger so bad! And still do! I'd buy one now, but am no longer able to drive, but I still enjuoy the dreaming!! Great cars!!

[@Jayhoyt32]

Not a Dodge guy. Never have been. But I'd drive this car with no complaints. This car screams muscle.

[@WaysideTrailer]

This is a great channel! Thanks!

[@zackzander4425]

Sharp looking Challenger Jay!

[@stavros969]

Your best burn out in ages Jay... Cheer's.

[@justaguitardude]

i remember as a teen going for a ride in a challenger with a six pack.wanted 1 ever since.this car looks great.the first impressions on that fast ride sold me on that challenger with a six pack.my friends wanted the hemi,i never got to go for a ride in 1 of them/the six pack i did & wow, that is what i day dreamed of in math class.its to bad hurst got sold.lost its original way for profit?(stil have my hurst t shifter grip)looks like they are back.where is mrs. hurst? she would of been a bonus!

[@ChevelleSSLS6]

Diggin' it. Looks like Jay genuinely likes- really likes- this car.

[@94BrunoO]

"This car atracks attention"... Jay Freaking Leno is inside of it!

[@Dino97612]

Great episode!

[@PaulSMilligan]

I love this channel!

[@venom_motoring]

Found it hilarious when Jay said "will it do a burnout" especially since it could squeal the tires from a roll

[@SEP392]

Hey Vince, are you nuts, the new Challenger is right on retro and looks great with the Hurst treatment!

[@JoseBarriosPika]

Lol. I love how Jay does burn outs with almost every car. xD

[@JackFlemingFan1]

Excellent video! The new (2008-2013) Challenger's are one sharp looking automobile!

[@georgeleague]

Jay, you're just a big kid! I LOVE IT! Keep it up...

[@stemcg11]

awesome video, thank you very much sir.

[@BiteythePossum]

i just like the fact that hes thorough and knows what hes talking about

[@GuhbsBeats]

Awesome job!

[@TheTheeggmann]

It's always nice to see 11s's on a quiet back street.

[@Mazda62626]

So Sweet. I have the R/T Classic nothing like the HP that car has but with the 6SP and the 392 rear end she is a beast and a great car to drive.

[@robroberts1473]

the challengers are such badass looking cars.

[@supercooled]

the interior has improved so much.

[@the1realanalogman]

I have to say it: "nicely done x2"! That is a really solid setup. Cruises nice, handles like a euro and plenty of juice when you want it. Nice presentation Jay!

[@ISniffDirtyPanties]

one of the best burnouts

[@tilus75]

In fact it has a Vortech supercharger. The compressor looks very much like a turbocharger, but indeed it is driven by the crank instead of exhaust gases. It does not have the usual whine, and power delivery is quite smooth, the whole assembly is rather small. It is a nice packadge.

[@matsuri626]

What a cool car! In my opinion, it's one of the five great current American cars, together with the Mustang, Camaro, Charger, and Vette. I wish I could own one of each, happily deciding which one to take to work every morning!

[@marcusxmac9687]

Great now I want one. Thanks Jay lol!!

[@phuckpains9502]

new revolutionary ProCharger i-1 supercharger system, you can have programmable boost right from the cockpit with a touch screen display. Now you can program a custom mode or choose from the 3 pre-programmed modes for different driving conditions with this "Made In The USA" ProCharger i-1 Supercharger. ProCharger hits the industry by storm with the first programmable boost i-1 Centrifugal Supercharger, with applications coming for Modular, Mustang, LSX and Camaros -- plug Dodge and Hemi models!

[@1234zcrom]

wow... a hurst "automatic"... I'm going to pretend that I didn't just watch a video about a company famous for their shifters... only cause I love ya Jay Leno. We all make mistakes. I would be impressed if they were able to get their hands on the 2010 anniversary edition - not too many people know about that one. I'm still jealous that my sister has one - with a real manual shifter pistol grip btw.

[@meganmilner1247]

I didnt know there was a 100th anniversary edition for the 2010. I need to loom into that

[@1234zcrom]

megan milner 40the anniversary edition challengers were available the 2010 model year. But be careful - tuner companies seem to have trouble creating tunes for them from my experience.

[@meganmilner1247]

do you have a challenger?

[@WyomingWarrior]

Nice looking car! Hurst did a great job!

[@MrJayWHAT]

Jay is my hero

[@ryanmxn]

Love this car!

[@SEP392]

Jay, Thanks for the road test, hope to buy one some day.

[@dillandouglas7176]

Did you get one? Because there’s only 17

[@MrStratocaster1949]

No Jay, they wasn't taking pictures of the car. They were taking pictures of you. I mean its not every day that the average person pulls up beside Jay Leno in a sharp car.

[@s0m3cunt91]

That's the best burnout he's ever done!

[@thudtheace]

The gold stitching looks just like what is in my 2006 top banana Daytona. Cool car.

[@SgtSayWhat]

I think it looks amazing

[@KipBurbank1]

Good one. Like button pressed.

[@dave1986R]

I love those cars but, Oh My God, what an insanely lavish guy.

[@DizzyMan24]

Nicest of the 3 by far. and those gold strips are amazing.

[@zxtenn]

I had a 69 Z-28 with the factory Hurst shifter, they used to hang-up, factory wasn't the same. Nice colors on that Challenger, i knew a guy that had a mid 70's Hurst olds 442, 455 with low compression.

[@terribelbliss9646]

Good burn out👍

[@deme7063]

is it just me, or would anybody else like to see Jay add to his videos, "will it do a doughnut" ?

[@clxx1302]

Wow! Many years later if I think of Challenger, I always think of Hellcat everytime

[@guido0582]

Glad Im not the only one who picked up on that

[@Alessandro.Mancini.Composer]

i love this car !

[@AudioCrossingVideos]

haha, I like how the engine was knocking at the very end

[@11pokemons]

Amazing car. Love it ❤❤❤❤

[@Koop92tc]

Supercharging is always pushing air into the motor so you always have your power (more or less), unlike turbos that must be spooled up before they really start having effect.

[@christineplymouth3271]

Mean Machine Jay !

[@Tusuperbis]

the paxston superchargers were also available as early as 1957 on the 312ci thunderbirds. Very rare!

[@TheHeftyDanielson]

I live near some very nice coastal roads where I play with other cars a lot, so surprisingly often.

[@JTheCarLover]

Amazing muscle car love it, and the best part the coo coo clock lol

[@haresplitter]

Best burnout yet:)

[@whoolph]

Nice burnout Jay, helps us 60's guys stay young . . . . :)

[@megadeathish2233]

I just bought a 2012 RT classic fully loaded just because I always wanted a 1970 and trying to find one in good shape is hard

[@cudaman2formula874]

I finally got a 2010 srt8 finally 6spd love it

[@Jayf1981]

As usual great job Jay, Chrysler sales up 10 %

[@tWoforgamenot1]

sweet cars indeed !!!! nice jay

[@TheBvotje]

YES YES YES I love this car.The sound is great en the looks woooow

[@mrcharlesperkins]

"not official but we may have the burn out king" blaahaa. Great burnout Jay:)

[@METALGEARZETTO]

That's a bad ass Challenger.

[@bareknuckles2u]

Awesome!

[@titohiggi2849]

BURNOUT KING !!! GOTTA LUV IT

[@Cragified]

Because as a factory option will have more retained value where aftermarket modifications reduce your resale generally. Plus the factory one would come with a warranty unlike aftermarket.

[@mehmetpinarci1456]

This car is so nice .

[@whitefalken87]

Look up badass in the dictionary. This car is right there.

[@fmc6338]

great looking car

[@midgetmayo]

No stripes on the roof... Interesting approach.. Pretty sweet car though, love what they did. I'd definitely drive it.

[@charliefox7206]

Yes!...there was nothing like a Hurst shifter in you car. I had a Hurst shifter, well it really wasn't a Hurst shifter; it was the Hurst shift knob. Not the same? Oh well. Nothing like a red '66 Volvo with '67 Mustang wheels, large bore SU carbs, air suspension, headers, free flowing exhaust, larger sway bars and oh did I mention, a Hurst shifter. Great sight!
