2017 Charger Hellcat Review! (From a Corvette Owner...)

[@rkeghost4070]

I got respect for you man your a chevy guy and you did a review on a dodge and you was not negative about it

[@lord_raedan]

Anyone who has a real love for cars should appreciate many kinds of cars, even if you favour a particular brand or model. Out of these muscle/pony cars I favour the Camaro ZL1 1LE, but I still love the hellcats and can't wait to see Ford roll out that GT500. But some clowns like to bash the competition when they favour a certain car.

[@GamingGod13322]

RKE Ghost I mean it’s a hellcat😂

[@dcole808]

Great review man. Im a vette owner also. This car is fun to drive.

[@TheWeirdo1991]

Yea that was dope💯💯 with big facts 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

[@scottkinderdine3317]

@@wblack427 I like all cars... But here's some information... Chevy is the most winning car in Motorsports.

[@drbolo]

One of the best reviews I've ever seen

[@CarsCostsandTechnology]

ItsRapiidz Thank you 👍

[@marnamullens8640]

The Dodge Charger is my favorite car. This Hellcat is one sweet car.

[@ShogMan]

Good unbiased review. As a sports car guy, the Scat Pack and the Hellcat Charger changed my mind about a stupid fun in a sedan. After two 4000 mile trips in it, I'm sold. Also only trip to the dealer was oil changes. Bigger tires are needed!

[@BucFanz63]

We got rid of our Scat for a Cat, man do you feel that power difference right away. Love the car!!!

[@EvilBatman]

I have a scatpack and can't say stop saying how much I love it. I have had everything from a jeep, 370 to an m3 and I enjoy the Scatpack the most.

[@CarsCostsandTechnology]

+EvilScatman392 Nice 👍 They are pretty awesome cars.

[@goons123flofy]

I just love the scat pack name.

[@goons123flofy]

Damm dawg... what a great review. Love how you checked insurance and tire costs.

[@essel23fly]

But it’s a dodge tho

[@BabyFaceDon]

EvilBatman is it expensive ? Thinking about a 15+ Charger rt with 370 Horsepower or spending a little more for a 15+ Dodge Charger scatpack with 485 horsepower

[@computergenerated3833]

You're a really good reviewer, I was really impressed with your video because I was expecting some guy nitpicking on the hellcat but you managed to satisfy dodge viewers like my self and maintain you chevy veiwership. So like I said, great review.

[@straightouttaLA69]

When u have to settle down but Don't want to leave ur old life style of racing the hellcat is the car for u

[@rookiedriver6770]

This is by far the best car review Iv watched on KZbin. Your voice is natural and your information is clear. Great video man!

[@zachfabbian1441]

overall im pretty drunk. lmao nah that was last night

[@Widebody20]

Great video. Some people will never be happy and seem to find fault with every car. Love the wheels on my 2017 but would love to get wider ones so I could install 3.05 tires on the rear that match the fronts.

[@tndeere]

Great review.Hats off to Dodge.We looked at one of these when we where on vacation in the Smokey's at the Dodge dealer and they are impressive ,really nice.Never been much of a Dodge man, but I will say they stepped it up and make some vehicles now.

[@CarsCostsandTechnology]

tndeere Thanks man 👍 I agree. I've always liked the Dodge Viper, but never really paid much attention to the Charger or Challenger. I was definitely impressed after spending some time with this car.

[@jizzyjake6783]

I've always liked their trucks but they've really been killing it overall the last 10 years or so

[@wjlowe111]

mopar or no car! Dodge has always been the best! Where you been

[@ShekelstienNBA]

The hellcat is a lot of car for sure....not the most nimble thing to drive but it has power for days. The exotics just have more of total package which is why most of them are so expensive. The hellcat skimps in some areas in order to make the car affordable. The hellcat is the ultimate gt car for the money.....if you don't mind the 4600 pound curb weight and going through tires like toilet paper the hellcat is good bang for the buck

[@CarsCostsandTechnology]

KZbin Championship Haha you are correct about going through tires like tp 👍 That's exactly why I wanted to include the cost of a new set in this review. Overall it's an awesome car for it's size, but I do prefer the more nimble feeling of a Corvette. Especially since I have no need for the back seats.

[@icedcoldkilla]

KZbin Championship you will eat tires on a porche every 15k miles too.

[@ShekelstienNBA]

Munozl360 if you're talking about the 911 that's only because of the rear engine layout in the back. The engine hanging over the axle doesn't help tire wear. The hell cat simply overwhelms the stock tires so I'm sure he'll at owners will visit tire rack more often

[@zbib43]

KZbin Championship you're only going to go thru tires crazily if you're constantly doing burnouts and things like that. I'm not a burnout guy I jus like driving fast on the highway lol tires would last me a pretty good time

[@emeraldages]

Skimps? Wtf. This isn't an exotic this is a fucking big American sedan on steroids.

[@nomo4u886]

Damn honestly this is one of my dream cars now this car is dops most definitely gonna save up & cop me one of these.

[@diamondssophia341]

I want this car so badly but the challenger looks better but 4 doors are always better

[@chuckjacobs3239]

Marc Figueroa Cheaper on insurance as well!!

[@ingridwilliams9924]

Omg LITERALLY what I'm thinking

[@04_venom4]

and they are good to get gapped as well hahah

[@nomo4u886]

Nahh this car looks better fam

[@Kamal_AL-Hinai]

Yes challenger is indeed better. I always think when i see a charger in the road that he would've bought i challenger if not for the 4 doors

[@amyslaton8856]

This has always been my dream car

[@JTM1987]

My goodness that beast sounds so good.

[@kodahudson4777]

Im from Greenville, SC so seeing him pull out of the dealership and drive past everything ive seen around was oddly cool to me.

[@oldguygarage8142]

Nice review, very impressed by your use of graphics. As a former Vette owner (C5 & C6) and a current Challenger owner this video hits home for me.

[@CarsCostsandTechnology]

+Old Guy Garage Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad that you enjoyed the video 👍

[@motorcity429]

I got more info on the hellcat in 10 min in your video then the next 20 videos combined

[@jonathanbriefcase2748]

Very informative review, well laid out. I appreciate that you anticipate viewers questions regarding cost to own, etc.. 2013 Mustang is my daily driver, but a 2016/17 Hellcat looks like a fun weekend ride... Nicely done

[@CarsCostsandTechnology]

+Jonathan Briefcase Thanks Jonathan. I try to put my twist on these reviews since I'm a numbers guy 👍 I really appreciate the feedback!

[@IBENOUTMYMIND]

Good reviews no bs or corny crap just the facts and to the point. All the stuff we like to see and know about. Keep them coming!

[@evananderson5060]

That’s that Michigan made quality👌🏻

[@aesho46]

Good review, I actually went from a 15 C7 to a 17 hellcat charger. I love it! I live in Mi and wanted something more practical than the vette. It never gets old driving it that's for sure lol. Did you use the paddles on it, the ZF8 speed is way more responsive than GMs 8 speed

[@RydinNStyle]

Thanks for the video, from a Charger R/T owner looking to upgrade straight to a Hellcat

[@jakey20022]

Crack horsepower is over 707 horsepower on this model year. Look at Motor Trends challenger Dyno pull it was 650 hp ish. That means it's close to 750 at the crack

[@integrafreak1]

I love the Hellcat, I don't care about corners lol

[@ayanziyad6872]

You can take a corners easily on a hellcat if ur a good driver

[@robinp9412]

Very nice review! My previous pleasure vehicle was a C6 Z06 which of course is every bit an American supercar. I wanted something more luxurious inside, more comfortable and yet still provide a good source of adrenaline. I went with the Challenger Hellcat and it is indeed remarkable. Besides the incredible power (virtually identical power to weight as the C6 Z06), the Hellcat has plush interior, a great ride and lots of tech goodies. I love that the Hellcat has a fully adjustable suspension and the automatic transmission can also be adjusted for street, sport or track modes. It is a great time to be alive!.

[@BigPesoOfficial]

My dad has one of these cherry red and this is a fun car coming from a 16 year old

[@kylerebman5094]

Glory Holes I thought a mini van at age 16 was fun to drive

[@highrevbowling7615]

I found the infotainment system to be a bit slow but it was pretty extensive. Thanks for the review. Thinking about getting one

[@laceup10]

As a Vette owner myself, I’m curious how the acceleration felt compared to the vette. Was there a mind blowing difference or was is marginal because of the excess weight?

[@dcole808]

I feel the same way, so much power because of the forced air (SC).

[@BasicBodThor]

275's? I would put 305's on at least (Hellcat Wide Body anyone?)

[@jamesht85]

Great review. Didn't bash the cat and didn't turn your back on your favorites for likes. Respect..... 👍🏽

[@ChiCity50245]

Love the music and the hellcat

If you thought this was 'Murica, wait til they put out the Charger Hellcat Redeye....

[@albertovaldivia2165]

Great video man love the cool intro with both the charger and corvette!!!

[@CarsCostsandTechnology]

Thanks!

[@tikky0982]

Ooh finally got me some Mopar :D All jokes aside, this was a well done review; definitely improving in the right direction since the first one. I really liked your analysis of the car in comparison to the rest of the market and how much it would cost, relatively, for a potential buyer. As for the car itself, me being an owner of the 392 version, I must say I am still tempted to go for the upgrade. That supercharger whine is VERY addictive, but if you're not careful, it can get you in trouble real quick. Not to say that the Scat Pack's 475 horses isn't enough, because it's more than plenty for daily driving, while also still having fun. It's just that the Hellcat, although largely built in the same body styling as the Scat Pack/SRT 392 models, has that "it" factor. When you see it on the road, the presence of it is just menacing, not to mention the sound coming out the back (Have you seen any exhaust clips of the Demon yet? That thing just sounds unnatural). Anyways, as much as I am a Dodge guy, I am still first & foremost, a car guy (preference for American of course :) ) In the future, I would love to upgrade to a Hellcat, but I've been really considering my next car to be a Corvette, which is how I actually found this channel to begin with. I will agree with you on that one note, my next purchase will definitely involve a supercharger. It's just one of those things I want to experience, and hopefully if it's still available, I'd get the manual. Love the 8 speed auto on my Chally, but I do somewhat regret not being able to shift gears myself traditionally. Oh and fun fact: that paint color on that Charger is the exact same shade of red as my Scat Pack Shaker (it's a premium tricoat paint called Redline Red that's a couple shades darker and has those little flakes that sparkle in the sun, versus the regular Torred, which I didn't like because it was more orangey than red)

[@CarsCostsandTechnology]

dannySRT6.4 I got you covered man 👌 I still remember your comment asking for a Challenger/Charger on the channel. I enjoyed reviewing this car, and seeing what all of the hype was about. I completely agree with you about the presence... There's just something about it that's hard to explain. I'll probably be getting a Z06 or ZR1 in the future just so I can hear that beautiful noise of the supercharger!

[@TonyAlvar3z]

I love, love the running LED lights, good job Dodge

[@edgarruizzz2866]

I'm an old General Motors man myself and I love restoring old Chevys especially the tri fives but I have never had a love affair with a car like I have with my 2016 Hellcat Challenger when I get in it and start it up I feel like Clark Kent slipping in the elevator and becoming Superman

This is literally my dream car (red charger srt with black stripes)

[@sjonestheproducer9566]

Sαисτus Gεrmαιn what did they quote you? Curious.

[@L1GHT119]

sjonestheproducer it was like $599 to $615, $3500 down 3 year lease 36 k miles

[@dcole808]

Great vid..I also own both cars, and I come to realize as long as I have a supercharger on my car I'm GOOD...

[@rnsrizzo]

Did really good review with the car and explained everything well

[@PassportBrosBusinessClass]

Dodge has the BEST and easiest technology to use. Their interiors however- while better than a typical sports car by leaps and bounds- aren't befitting of a $70,000 car. It's a huge amount of car for the money. Love mine.

[@KingFLA]

Best colorway to have a Hellcat!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥💪😎👍✌

[@GhostDaRepear]

Loved your video, no negative remarks about Dodge

[@rikwilkinson1451]

Actually the Charger and Challenger are made in Brampton Ontario Canada,.. but close enough;)

[@CarsandEngines]

Great viddy man! About time we get non ghettofide stuff on the hellcat.

[@marcotheexplorer5847]

Love your content brother , in my option the American car market has really stepped up their game compared to the foreign competitors. I was a loyal Nissan fan but I chose the 2017 SS over the GtR because of the horse power & price point but I soo dislike the charger mainly because it's a 4 door car. Feels like sedans shouldn't have all this horse power but overall amazing vid !

[@CarsCostsandTechnology]

Thanks Marcus! I really appreciate the feedback.

[@bmorehemi392]

First time watcher...I'm subscribed! Good video

[@UndeadFleshgod]

My insurance cost in Canada for a Charger Hellcat, for a full 12-months period, is about $700. That means $548 USD/year or about 45 USD per month. It's virtually nothing! It's as if the insurance company saw "4-door sedan" and stopped there.

[@tyshiddejuremanbey1313]

Outstanding!!!

[@bailey.nt86]

Omg... You still have chrome braces on the front of your C7 grill... I will send you the carbon fiber tape and an razor blade free... I'll even pay the damn shipping.. Good review!

[@CarsCostsandTechnology]

BaileyPaws Lol thanks for the feedback and the extra motivation to get my grill taken care of... To be honest with you I don't hate the chrome strip. Maybe after seeing it in carbon flash I would dislike the chrome more, but I haven't rushed to change it since it doesn't bother me.

[@derrickjohnson3094]

DAMN I LOVE THIS CAR!!!!!

[@petercarey6883]

CC&T. AGV, aka Another Good Video. I enjoy your spread sheet graphics. (Hey, I like pictures. No one ever accused me of buying Playboy so that I could read the articles. lol) Nice to see that superchargers have grabbed your interest, but you said you're now going to have to "consider" a supercharged car for your next car. Whoa, hold on there Charlie Brown. What's to consider? The choice is easy. C7 ZO6 or if you wait awhile, ZR1. lol Best wishes, congrats on pushing the 4k subscribers and most of all, Save the Wave!

[@CarsCostsandTechnology]

Peter Carey Thank you! I enjoyed filming/editing this one. Of course those are the two clear options! I cannot wait to hear the engine and exhaust note of the new ZR1 😍

[@petercarey6883]

You and a whole lot of others want to hear the ZR1 in person. I'm hoping there may be a ZR1, or two, or three at Corvettes at Carlisle in Carlisle, Pa. I'm going there this Thursday through Sunday. Stay tuned and Save the Wave.

[@rayrocco2978]

New Generation 4 Door Charger Hellcat coming in late 2020 ! Car will be a Monster Sedan ! New lighter Carbon Fiber Frame and Chassis probably from either the Alfa Romeo Guilia or Maserati Quadrofoglio Structure ! Charger will probably be over 500 LB's lighter and a little Smaller ! Rumored to have almost 800 HP for the Hellcat Variant !!! Challenger and Possible a Smaller lighter Camaro Style Pony car called the Barracuda coming also ! Heavy Retro Boat days are over for Dodge soon !!!

[@banshee107]

first time seeing this channel. great review!

[@CarsCostsandTechnology]

+banshee107 Thank you!

[@daveclark9206]

Excellent review especially from a GM guy. And the car is definitely North American-made which is really cool but it's made in Canada Brampton Ontario just sayin.

[@RedGorilla33]

I really want this car hopefully someday

[@alipiracha4264]

Nice review dude, what about the challenger hellcat and what would you prefer between that and a corvette stingray, and why?

[@CarsCostsandTechnology]

Ali Piracha Thanks Ali 👍 Hopefully I'll be able to review a Challenger Hellcat in the future. I would still choose a Corvette over either of the Hellcat variants just because it suits me better at the moment. I don't have any kids so I don't need the extra room, and I prefer the more nimble feeling of the Corvette.

[@millionairemindset1136]

Hmmm... a lot of my Dodge buddies with the Scatpack 392 charger are doing supercharger/ pro charger add on to their cars. Hmm is it worth it for the hellcat especially when it looks just like a 30k cheaper 392 Charger!!! And today I test drove a dodge Daytona and totally was a waste of time lol. Another car fully of badges. I think the best bang is the scatpack 392 charger but if you want a really Sportscar than stick with a Corvette Zo6. Especially if you are a track guy but a drag guy, get hellcat and buy some radials tires.

[@sorich]

other than looks, Scatpack and Hellcat aren't on the same track.

[@woodboat3G]

they can mod a 392 and match a hellcat. A hellcat owner can mod his car and get 1000 Hp. The internals are different and they left room for even more power. If 707 is enough you also get a very good warranty. i chose the Hellcat

[@Texarmageddon]

One word... Warranty

[@vincealince_SRT]

Ha, those dudes modding aren’t even getting em close to Hellcat numbers. I’m a Challenger SRT owner and the Hellcat is in a league of its own...

[@chargerosterone6656]

Why is there a difference in acceleration and top speed of a charger hellcat and a challenger hellcat eventhough they have the same heart. The charger is 0.1 seconds quicker and 7 to 8 miles faster than the challenger?

[@CarsCostsandTechnology]

+Martin J Joseph I believe it comes down to slightly better traction on take off (possibly because of the additional weight) and less drag at top speed because of better aerodynamics. Thanks for watching 👍 www.wired.com/2014/08/how-dodge-made-its-new-sedan-even-faster-than-its-beastly-coupe/

[@DragonKnightX12]

Aerodynamics. Challenger is a brick, so you get more drag.
