I'd Take This Over A Hellcat.. // 2023 Dodge Challenger Shakedown Review

[@hoodlum64]

Normally aspirated vehicles will make a comeback at some point. The muscle car will never die!

[@randywl8925]

When they tear down an engine plant, they're not going to build it back.

[@9168TimGlass]

​@@randywl8925 I haven't heard of them tearing them down so much as relocating them to where cheaper labor is. I think Dodge is jumping the gun if they think they can eliminate ice vehicles, but if they can get comparable horsepower & better fuel economy from a inline 6 w turbos, go for it. Ford has the Barra 6 in Australia that makes awesome horsepower, but doesn't bring it to the state's because "image". I don't see ICE vehicles going away in 12yrs, or 20yrs. The advancements being made in synthetic fuels will replace electric vehicle purchases before then.

[@LETS-DREW-THIS]

Multiple government's are making it illegal to produce ICE after 2030 - 2035 ish. So until some new tech comes out I don't think we're gonna see that return in our lifetime. Maybe range extenders. Commercial vehicles and such, anything that needs to tow or haul significant weight because range becomes useless with EV when towing.

[@MotoringAdventures_KE7SAI]

Savegegeese does a pretty decent job. I think having access to a lift helps.

[@jimcondray4632]

100% agree with the comment about electric cars. One thing electric will never replace is the feeling and the sound of a perfectly done heel and toe downshift at the right time in a corner. Sure, they might be faster but they won't be as much fun.

[@shazmodeus2795]

ICE cars are alive, they breath and eat, and if you take care of them, they'll treat ya right. Electric cars have no soul, they are lifeless.

[@rivirme]

Sarah, you must get your hands on the 6-speed. I drove one, and the sound is even more amazing, seems to be slightly louder, and burbles even when driving in a parking lot. total blast to drive. 2nd to 3rd gear speed shift drops right in. you will love it. I also love that you keep testing these iconic cars from Mopar.

[@KCadbyRacing]

It's been both fun and a pleasure watching you grow over the years. You have always done a fantastic job on everything you touch (literally) but your car review "productions" are becoming second to none IMHO. Super informative, engaging and best of all, fun 💖

[@excalibur14]

I love Sarah and Shakedown, too.

[@autospecial1]

I've got a 15 Hellcat Challenger and love it, but you are correct, the 392 cars are better balanced. The 6.2 adds a lot of weight to the front making it understeer when cornered hard. FYI, proper lift (not jacking) point in the front is the subframe. The frame is marked with the triangles to show where to place the lift pads.

[@tumbleweedking5668]

I had the 6 speed manual, the torque allowed you to start in 4th gear at 20 mph and hit 125 without shifting.

[@MoparAdventure]

gotta slip the clutch a little bit haha but yeah

[@Hobbies4Hire]

Great job on the video Sarah! Thanks for making it. I love these dream-cars keep getting made for this "last call" generation of ICE vehicles. I hope there is a future where manufacturers still get to explore that side of production along with electric development. That being said though... That electric Banshee is the most Cyber-Punk car I've ever seen.

[@tonydacosta2273]

I loved the 392 challenger owner credit score joke! Phenemonal old school muscle car that is better balanced and more fun than the Hellcat in my opinion. Wonderful review, thank you Sarah.

Hey Sarah, 103.1 is a classic rock station in the Detroit area. Sad to see these go to be honest not the biggest Dodge fan but if I were to buy one, it would definitely be a challenger manual of course. I live a stones throw from Chrysler headquarters in Auburn Hills which is situated at the intersection of two major expressways so every time there’s a new variant hellcat, redeye, scat pack, etc. The Dodge boys ( executives at Chrysler )or whoever are ripping these things up and down the off ramps to those highways like a road course it’s really something to hear and see. I’m gonna read missed that. Have a great one as always.🐧🐧🐧👍

FWIW how long did you expect them to continue making a car from 2005, which itself was based on a Mercedes platform from the 1990s? Shoot, even the updated, facelift version has been around since 2015! I love these cars but its time for a change. Sad as it is, the world moves on and you can only hold on to the past for so long. At least there will be plenty of these around for the foreseeable future.

[@willpatscully]

I actually had to order mine from the factory, I was able to get almost everything I wanted (couldn't justify the $6000 widebody) for $48265. I'm extremely happy using it as a daily driver. Anyway, great video. I am sad that the Challengers and Chargers as we know them now are going bye bye.

[@deanstevenson1649]

i got the widebody and realized how much of a pain it is! you are dodging some pain besides the money. they look cool, and i like it, but the wheel offset with those special rims means you can basically only get OEM rims for it, and tires are hard to come by too. In Canada, i'm looking at $1300 FOR ONE RIM. ONE. to have a second set for winter tires. not doing it. you are way more flexible for tires and rims with the regular body. enjoy!

I have a 2013 Challenger R/T and I LOVE IT. Sure compared to this machine, mine is not as powerful, but the handling, comfort, and how fast it accelerates at speed are all so great to have. The sound too. I hate that they are killing off the V-8 AND the Challenger in general.

That ZF transmission is the same as in my V8 F-Type - it's brilliant! It adapts to my driving style (lazy shifts if I'm pottering about and red-lines if I'm "pressing on"). It seems to anticipate when I'd shift and does it on the button! You ought to test a full fat F-Type (and I bet you can say "Jaguar" properly!). Keep up the great work.
