hes done it with hundreds of cars.. F1 cars included

[@vtr0104]

While everybody else is doing track specials, Corevettes going to mid engine, Porsches getiing crazy suspensions, you got Dodge just doing their thing and making everyone smile. The Challenger and Charger are literal proof that being fun matters more to people than stuffing every available piece of tech into a car and turning into a screen on wheels. I swear I'm going to own some kind of Mopar before I kick the bucket. Other cars might be faster, corner better, or get amazing MPG, but none of them still have their heart, and Dodge still has theirs in spades :|

[@khaaleliilighntingcoronado9009]

The dodge vs Camaro vs mustang competition will always be fascinating. Whether you agree with the new makes and models or not. All companies set the standard on American speed, that'll take your kids to school then have time to burn some tires before you get to work. I love it

[@scottimusgarrett15]

Thanks for coming by, Tim! Holy crap, that thing is bananas!! Cars like this are the reason that there are no Prius owners' "cars and coffee" groups. 😂 Thanks, Jay and Crew for another entertaining episode!✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦

[@devonp5079]

Tim lies about everything, a real 🤡

[@user-ub3yp6gz3d]

That's one car that I wish I could afford to buy as I'm a 60 year old man and on a very low fixed I. Jay Leno I love your beautiful car collection it is truly an amazing collection.

[@veritas41photo]

Me too... As far as limited income, that is. I'm 82 years old. The closest thing to a muscle car I had was a 1967 Oldsmobile 442 racing green convertible with white leather upholstery. Bought it in New Hampshire, drove it to San Jose and sold it at a considerable profit. Should never have sold it. It's be priceless now.

[@traindawg21]

You can tell this guy is extremely hands on with his products. You don't see that from CEOs these days

[@jjwrx8]

Definitely a good final way to go out for the challenger always liked how instead of going lighter and sportier dodge just says add more power and make it stronger to handle it. Doesn't get much more muscle than that.

[@robertdavis6708]

I've never seen Jay laughing so much over a car. He really is a car nut in more ways than one. Send it Jay !

[@johnjunge6989]

Saw you getting your 170 and the road trip. Sweet color, my best friend in 1962, painted his 55 Honduras Marroon, always liked Marroon. 👍

[@mizbeatz]

"There is no substitution for immaturity" - I agree 100% Jay 😂. I've never seen you this happy in any car! Love it!

[@pete1208]

I haven't seen Jay that excited by a new car in a long time. Great video Jay. Great car too

[@hemiboy9860]

since 15 hellcat

[@Acct1941]

Wow. Engineering, fun, passion, everything you want. Thanks Jay

[@awrestler272]

Tim and jay talking cars is gold ❤❤❤

[@MazezRealm]

Seeing Jay have this much fun made all of us have fun along with him. Great video!

[@MattiasSchonning]

I just love to hear a CEO like Tim be passionate about the race car. He really knows what he's talking about. He's driven that car A LOT.

[@Joe-sn6ir]

are you stupid??? he's letting stelantis KILL Dodge. no more ICE for Dodge. they are replacing them with batteries.

[@narutofanz4]

I'm so happy Jay is still very passionate for vehicles even after the accident. Stay strong god bless

[@pauldashwood2897]

Nice to see you back Jay …..great stuff

[@jhartford58]

Put a smile on my face seeing Jay smile that much

[@TheMasterg39]

Jay, This is just one the reasons we love the show, your passion .. and what in-depth information you deliver to the audience.. Thank you..!

[@SeanNyte]

I'm sad to say that I have just now realized that this channel existed... I'm not surprised that it does, but I'm surprised that I haven't found it by now... I always love watching any clips from the show that I could... It looks like I have a lot of binge watching to do in the future... LOL!

[@brenturquhart7090]

I get such joy seeing Jay’s inner child giggle every time he gives it a little gas. How can you not smile when you see that.

[@byronodenms4135]

The CEO makes this all so elementary..!!! I really enjoyed learning about the car and he made it all seem so thoughtful yet simple. Great at his job, BIG RESPECT

[@arthurdardalis]

Very refreshing to see a CEO talking passionately about the tech details and not marketing blurb and corporate babble The SRT is just the business, love it!

[@devonp5079]

Fake Times. Tim Lies

[@ericligotke3542]

1025 horsepower+ no seatbelt= jay in heaven

[@nallen6559]

Great preview by the boss, you can tell Jay wasn't quit ready to turn it loose. Yep, takes time and I'd do the same thing!

[@tucobenedicto1780]

This guy is the complete opposite of the Bud Light VP. He knows his business, customer base, and what brings business.

[@rblbatb]

Tim seems like a good dude. I have liked all three times he has been on the show.

[@devonp5079]

Tim is a 🤡

[@myboatadventures4723]

The pure joy on Jay's face says it all!

[@rodneywadington7936]

Never seen Jay smile and be so happy driving a car!

[@tobycatVA]

That car suits Jay like an old pair of jeans. His chuckle when he kicks it is golden. Stay golden, Ponyboy.

[@Tomaato55]

An apt tribute to the Dodge brothers. Best part this CEO didn't look or act like a CEO.

[@devonp5079]

The CEO acted like a used car sales manager

[@alfredconqueror4422]

Out of the three muscle's, the Challenger is the one that truly pays respect to the heritage of this car segment. So sad to say farewell to them😢

[@BlackRam17]

Straight line only speed? Yeah that’s their thing, definitely not turning

[@itsjamilagain]

​@@BlackRam17 Sound, torque, emotion. Go actually drive a powerful car before you knock it.

[@DTWC]

@@BlackRam17 this isn't the 70s

[@lifted_above]

Say farewell to the globalist criminal cabal soon enough, and everyone will finally see what a lie it all was.

[@Disciple_of_God.]

​@@BlackRam17oh are you bandwagoning that idea too? The challenger is a monster on the track.

[@rconley40]

To manage the torque with the touch of a button (or touch screen) is AMAZING!!

[@johnherrmann9961]

Best review of this car that I’ve seen so far. Awesome job
