[@MrSlowestD16]

At the end: Jay: "Dave, I think you have the coolest job in the world" **says the guy who Ford delivered a pre-production GT500 + director to his front doorstep** lol. Such an awesome car, they really did a nice job with it. The Redeye hellcat is still dropping a fair bit more power, but there's probably like 700lbs weight difference between them so this may beat it out anyway...and the hellcat will never turn like this will, I reckon. Very cool stuff. Love it.

[@feke5987]

Well both are very different cars. Dodge is all about being crazy and always being the king at the quarter mile. Dodges are probably the purest muscle car experience you can still get. Mustangs and Camaros have gone more into the sports car territory (even if they were pony cars and not muscle cars) If you want to have fun the Redeye definitely gives you that. But the mustang is also a track car that still has muscle DNA.

[@jackhale371]

It's only 200-300 pounds lighter, BUT it has a dual clutch transmission. So its gonna be quite a bit quicker of the line. Also who knows! Maybe itll be quicker in the quarter mile and on the drag strip. We already know it will be alot better in the turns, like on a road course or whatever. But if it beats the hellcat and hellcat redeye on the road course, AND the drag strip then ill be really impressed. Blown away actually. That would be very impressive!

[@anthonyray5515]

All of the buttons on the interior are all tiny and that car in particular is less than four feet tall.

[@bullcourage7119]

Dave is a car guy through and through! He was not only insanely technical on every aspect of the vehicle but he is really enjoying talking about this project. The story on Le Mans was truly one that is a script for Ford vs. Ford Le Mans! I can’t imagine how Dave felt hearing the story standing there while Edsel Ford is talking about not only a page out of his memory but actual Motorsport legend. To say we will do our very best to put the trophy in your hands must have felt a little overwhelming to say as well as a huge amount of stress. I would love to know what Edsel thought about what Dave said, did he think it was truly possible or just another very passionate Ford employee telling him what he would like to hear but in the pit of Edsel’s stomach knowing the extraordinary feat that must be achieved to make that commitment a reality. Jay, I didn’t like him as much as the host of the Tonight Show(I don’t like most of them btw)but I love him doing this show. I work in the automotive sector, I LOVE what I do and I have an extreme passion for it. I have worked in this field since 1998 and Jay’s knowledge on such a wide amount of vehicles makes me feel like i am in the first year of High School listening to a Professor who has a Doctorate in Automotive.
