5 Things I HATE (and LOVE) About My Challenger HELLCAT | 2016 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Ownership

[@100PercentJake]

Elliott here to save me from my boring Wednesday at work!

[@ElliottAlvis]

100PercentJake I do what I can 💁🏻‍♂️

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

I agree that a car can be too fast, because I have to keep my Tesla on Chill mode to keep from giving myself motion sickness. This is a really awesome video, Elliott! I would hate my water bottles interfering with my shifting gears.

[@ElliottAlvis]

Mitchell Barnow thanks Mitchell!

[@stickshift13]

This has become my favourite automotive channel!! I’m ashamed i didn’t know about it!

[@ElliottAlvis]

That’s awesome! I appreciate that!

[@ajw828]

This is probably my favorite video yet, and I’ve loved all of them so far. Drove a Makeshift Hellcat (ScatPack w Procharger) with JR a few years back and was in love with it. Would love to have a Hellcat Charger someday.

[@ElliottAlvis]

A.J. W. Thanks dude! Yes, a Hellcat Charger would be the ultimate family-hauler sedan, you need one!

[@ajw828]

Elliott Alvis yup or Durango SRT!

[@ElliottAlvis]

A.J. W. Even better! 3 rows of haul-butt

[@pranavjoshi6802]

Even though it gets annoying when doin an interstate drive, the whine of supercharger is like music to the years.

[@ElliottAlvis]

Pranav Joshi I wouldn’t trade it for the world! 🎶

[@SlowSpeeds]

Sounds like you should of bought a scatpack

[@davidhumpherson4904]

I'm glad they still make cars like the Hellcat. Nice video 👍

[@ElliottAlvis]

David Humpherson I couldn’t agree more David! Thanks for watching!

[@michaelcardone1104]

I work at a Dodge dealer and Hellcat's are always a fun time to drive. They scare me though because they're so fast. I've taken a liking to the 392's because they sound awesome and they don't have as much speed so you can use it more.

[@ElliottAlvis]

Michael Cardone that’s a good assessment of the difference between those two cars Michael! Thanks for watching.

[@j81851]

I rented a R/T with the stock hemi at 400+ HP and had a blast the week I was out working driving it every day. She would pull a 100 mph like she would at 55. I was truly impress and had so much fun. Remember I'm the guy that had a 66 Impala with a 396/325 built up for semi aggressive performance, shift kit equipped early Turbo 400 3 speed auto and positrac. I know what performance is and this car will deliver every time

[@ElliottAlvis]

Yep! I am truly blown away by these car’s performance in every trim level.

[@christopherkraft1327]

Hey Elliott, yes, the Hellcat IS an awesome vehicle!!! I got to drive one at the dealers, it was an automatic but still very fast, plenty of power for the teenage me & plenty of creature comforts for old fart me!! Thanks for sharing another fun video!!! ☺

[@ElliottAlvis]

Christopher Kraft they are incredible vehicles to say the least. Thanks for watching Christopher!

[@elesjuan]

This car on paper? Utter perfection. The look. The sound. The power. The performance. It absolutely checks every box I could have...... But the idea of buying an FCA product? HARD PASS.

[@ElliottAlvis]

elesjuan Lol! I actually love this assessment. FCA products can be a very tough pill to swallow.

[@aarond23]

Kansas State Patrol.....now on the lookout for Red Hellcat with 'HECKCAT' plates

[@ElliottAlvis]

Aaron Davis they always are on the lookout for this car! 👀 Thanks for watching Aaron!

[@billgorman481]

I have a 14 300c and even it is relatively loud with the eagle hemi. The occasional tick on start up is annoying. The Leather seats are hard. And then the short overdrive means I’m turning 2000 going down I-76. But it’s far superior mechanically to the Town Car it replaced.

[@ElliottAlvis]

BILL GORMAN oh big time! The 300’s are great cruisers. Thanks for watching Bill!

[@mds2465]

Yeah those cup holders aren’t my favorite either. Kinda reminds me of the one I had in my old Saab. It was right underneath the center consul so when your coffee spills it can get inside the ignition lock cylinder as well as the window control panel and cause all kinds of problems. Lol one time my dad inadvertently forgot to remove the gas pump after he finished pumping gas in the car and drove off with the pump in the car. When he realized that was what he did he immediately slammed on the brakes and his coffee which was in that cup holder spilled all over the passenger side carpet and left a nasty stain which despite many attempts on my end I could just never manage to get rid of completely.

[@ElliottAlvis]

Michael Sackstein oh boy! That sounds like a real situation!

[@mds2465]

Elliott Alvis yeah he was not too happy about that. Coffee is a very tough stain to get out once it’s been sitting for a while

[@ElliottAlvis]

Michael Sackstein it’s one of the worst stains!

[@novasoccer]

Good video. I thought the way you said Dodge countered weight with horsepower was an excellent way to phrase it.

[@ElliottAlvis]

Robert Alexander Thanks Robert! Glad you enjoyed. I appreciate the support!

[@ByIntros]

Just bought a 16’ torred hellcat with 11k miles. So happy

[@FALLEN9336]

Nice, next week I’m picking up a 16 hellcat with 27k miles in Granite crystal metallic.

[@pussygalore5947]

The Hellcat would be the next to last car on earth I would buy, the Prius being the absolute last. I keep waiting for a video on that barn he owns.

[@ElliottAlvis]

PussyGalore I didn’t realize you had such distaste for the Hellcat. But I always look forward to your comments.

[@yiyangcheng]

When you say Too fast, it made me think of the song Too Fast, Too Furious by Ludacris lol. But how come you didn’t thought of getting the camel interior?

[@ElliottAlvis]

yiyangcheng I love the camel interior, but this car was an unbeatable price, so 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@yiyangcheng]

Elliott Alvis what about the Pontiac nostrils on the challenger lol?

[@ElliottAlvis]

yiyangcheng not as much of a water problem on the Pontiac hoods, but it also doesn’t look as cool.

[@yiyangcheng]

Elliott Alvis the ones from the firebird looks good though lol

[@ElliottAlvis]

yiyangcheng well yeah, but they belong on that car!

[@dave11686]

Your t-shirt collection is goals

[@ElliottAlvis]

The Sock Monkey! You haven’t even seen the half of it! But I’m glad you enjoy! Lol

[@leonardrice2830]

Love it! My first hellcat was a 2015 Ivory white with black hood and manual trans. I wish I still had it. I have a pitch black automatic now.🤔

[@bostonkid9096]

you get it repo'd

[@speedfiend925]

Does it ever feel like is was too much power for a row your own? Just curious as the power comes on so fast as I understand it and you have the steering wheel and shifter to contend with at basically the same time.

[@dilippatel3268]

excellent video

[@stuarthossack7906]

The name Alvis is appropriate for a petrol head, Alvis was an English car maker in Coventry UK. I won't bore you with cut and paste from Wiki, but have a dig y'self.

[@ElliottAlvis]

Stuart Hossack I’ve seen pictures of Alvis cars! They are strikingly beautiful. I hope one day to own one, but they are insanely expensive from what I have found. Thanks for watching Stuart!

[@kyledexter485]

Great video! 👍🏻

[@ElliottAlvis]

KYLE DEXTER Thanks Kyle! I appreciate it!

[@mds2465]

I feel like I've seen JR drive this car at one point in the very distant past in one of his videos

[@ElliottAlvis]

Michael Sackstein yep! He borrowed it a couple of times a while back.

[@heckcat5135]

(Sent here by a recommendation from Hoovie's Garage.) Small picking of nits: 5:40 "six gears, none of which are an overdrive". Actually, 4th is straight through, and 5th/6th are both overdrives. This would be apparent if you grabbed 5th gear 2/3 of the way down the main straight of Big Willow, at Willow Springs, and then observed how almost useless the action to be. Ask Me How I Know. By the way, nice personalized plate...

[@ElliottAlvis]

HeckCat my mistake! But I love your handle! Thanks for watching man!

[@steveshoemaker6347]

Excellent....Thanks very much my friend...!

[@ElliottAlvis]

steve shoemaker Thank YOU Steve!

[@jake05sti]

Next video: which is more of a cat persons car, the hellCAT or the Prius... 🧐

[@ElliottAlvis]

Jacob Alefs hmm, that does require some investigation. Good suggestion.

[@AdrenalineJunkie25]

Lmaoooo good question IMO prius has the pet cat hellcat owner has a lion as a pet🤷🏿‍♂️😂

[@riwoof]

It looks like that HECKCAT may have more ponies than 100%Jakes swapped out lawn mower. And darn sure has better interior. 😈😈 And I still say of all the throwback cars of today, the Challenger does the best to honor its ancestor!!

[@ElliottAlvis]

Bob Cannon I agree with you on all points Bob! The Challenger is definitely staying the truest to it’s retro form. Thanks for watching as always!

[@Piracanto]

- Aren't you driving a bit close to the wheel? You're not that old yet... - I bet you get almost as much attention as in the Prius! - Suuuper annoying the cup holder situation! - Love that it's fast, but also hate it? hhmmmm.... - Oh yes, pet fur. Just one more reason for me to hate pets. And people.

[@ElliottAlvis]

Jorge Piracanto hey, it was hard to come up with things that I “hate” about this car lol. And yeah, Apparently I drive like an old man! Lol. Thanks for watching as always Jorge.

[@udodonald]

I am so lucky that I don´t have your problem nr. 4 in Germany ;-)

was the best infotainment in the business bit a joke? ;)

On a closed road by professional drivers. In Mexico 😉

[@ElliottAlvis]

ralph longo Of course! That goes without saying 😉

[@truthseekerdanny]

It's a sick ride but I do feel you on the little things that would suck. Definitely not a daily. But oh what fun on a weekend.

[@ElliottAlvis]

Daniel Zermeno it can be a daily as well! I used it as a daily for a year! But yes, it’s much better as a weekend car.

Whyd you buy it to say it’s too fast lmao clown. Get a Prius

[@ElliottAlvis]

I said it’s too fast to be enjoyed on a regular basis because once you get it wound up, you’re going 120mph. And I already have a Prius 😉
