Never really had a dream car, had the chance to drive an R/T for the weekend, and I was like, is there a ''Super Challenger''....? This anwers my question, officially the hellcat is my dream car, or dream animal.

[@pabli93]

nice 👍🏻

[@anthonywalker8216]

just love that hellcat good job

[@davischeck2010]

Car is sick, heard they are already working on upgrades for this beast...

[@openplz3000]

Best video I have seen on the cat yet.

[@THUGNERD81]

Absolutely great interview very informative!!!

[@NewAgeMockingbirds]

Agree

[@strangersound]

Excellent interview with Russ. I hope Corvette is already reverse engineering a Hellcat. ;)

[@GBatya]

Reliable power is the key thing. That's not possible with nowdays downsizing shits with turbo. Catalog says they consume less but in real life the same with less life expectancy.

[@est98irocdre]

It's a Beast!!!

[@50RNDCLP]

By other guys Across Town , he meant Ford SVT (SHELBY GT500 ).

[@bgd73]

all that military americanism.. I was just analyzing my own purple heart and wondered where the crazy purple dodge is. Awesome machine.

[@keimo2007]

Hey John, Any chance, you could get Lutz & autoextremist in some future show (again)? thanks!

[@misterjuan9360]

El diseñador del exterior del challenger es Jeff Gale.

[@NIAtoolkit]

Starting at 10:45 how did they change the colors?

[@Grumpini]

They masked out the green from the car. In a video editing program, you mask out a color by selecting it. Then they just changed the color by replacing the masked-out color with another one

[@michaelknapp3702]

Form should follow function...just like a BMW!

[@opl500]

TRACK DAY BRO

[@leonardrice2830]

Both my Cats came with 2 Red, one Black key.

[@Alal-wi8nv]

thee best car - and yes ....... best

[@tomasestrada4283]

Tell them to make the next challenger faster more horse power and that looks better like this one the hellcat

[@NewAgeMockingbirds]

+Tomas Estrada Bite me.

[@scdecade]

Obviously they need to supercharge the Viper V-10.

[@sharpguy46]

Vasilash looks like Woddy Allen.

[@Dayfloss]

2020 Mustang Shelby GT500 is rated at 760 horsepower

[@F90ronny63]

Cool story bro. Demon has 808

[@SNeal5966]

@@F90ronny63 Actually its 840 on 100 Octane fuel.....

[@GlidinBros]

Thats 2020 these Guys Made 700+ in 2015

[@keimo2007]

17:30 talking about mustang?

[@MegaNizniz]

I think the RC-F is more relevant to the new mustang than a 911.

[@ericwang604]

How about supercharge a hemi 392. Instead let the dodge do it for you call it hellcat. Isn't that cooler to do it yourself called it hemi supercharger then hellcat? Please give some advise.

[@rubbersole79]

18:00 - Who the hell would drive this in snow?

[@brettwerbiski2467]

rubbersole79 up here in Canada eh. its fun

[@Ashengard111]

This guy looks so much like Jim Carrey!

[@macksteven4892]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@zarstar1576]

Hellman

[@opl500]

It truly is like you let a kid make his own dinner.

[@jsponson]

Bangle Butt? Nope, bad example. It still looks awkward, and BMW dropped it on the current F models.

[@markanderson8479]

Hellcat

[@stevanstojkovic7739]

I wasted my tires in the 1st 3 months

[@bobbyjojo]

Why don't they supercharge smaller engines to get better performance?

[@TheFirestorm214]

Because v8 Muscle Car.

[@DaytonCarCare]

They do. Look up "Pentastar engine". But if you're talking about automotive manufacturers as a whole, many do supercharge or turbocharge 4 and 6 cylinder cars for better performance. But unfortunately roughly 7500 engines first built in 2012 were found to be susceptible to left-cylinder head cracks potentially resulting in engine failure

[@bobbyjojo]

DaytonCarCare Sorry but I could not find any information on factory built stock turbo or supercharged or procharged "Pentastar Engine".Everything I have found seams to be aftermarket.

[@DaytonCarCare]

Robert Longo Sorry about that. I think they are planning an aspirated Pentastar production model engine for 2016.

[@bobbyjojo]

OK

[@drgoutbreak7934]

see this car is 60 k for a high performance muscle car or you can spend 78k and get a new zo6 wich is a supercar

[@darrenbrisson4336]

yeah they're trying to get top dollar for them i thought they're only special order one at a time for the person who buys one.

[@dontdrinkthekoolaid3344]

Corvette is not even close to a super car it's a sports car

[@drgoutbreak7934]

Austin Simonds do you know shit about cars yes or no

[@dontdrinkthekoolaid3344]

Chris Robbins yea ask gm bro or any car ethusiast it's a sports car. It can run with some super cars but it's not. Exotic very expensive and it's pretty expensive for me but it's certainly not exotic.

[@dontdrinkthekoolaid3344]

Even tho it doest have to be exotic but cmon bro you are so full of it if you think corvette is a super car I mean nissan shit on it there gtr but that's not a good example I've seen dodge shit on the gm peice of shit. I love the look but something Is fucking that car uo and I know it has a good engine but apparently the downforce is too strong.

[@Nicktheguy24]

Imagine not knowing at the time kids in high school would be owning these cars in the future 😭🤣

[@christopherr8539]

Srt s r t

[@erikluyten2070]

i had a hemmi orange 73 cuda 340 and it had balls ide like to own one of these but i cant aford it but i would love to kick the shit out of one and put it to the floor it would bring back memmories

[@scrimmy6969]

I seen this Hellcat at the local Dodge dealer yesterday. I was not impressed with fit and finish. The body lines were horrible. Who would expect anything else its a Dodge

[@NewAgeMockingbirds]

Moron, you must be braindead and blind. The 2015 Dodge Challenger is very impressive in all areas.

[@scrimmy6969]

***** I suck? Internet tough guys every place. That care and all Chrysler products are JUNK. The fit and finish was JUNK. JUNK, JUNK.... Fucking people need to stop inbreeding.

[@NewAgeMockingbirds]

+scrimmy6969 inbreeding? Yes you and Skunks need to stop.

[@scrimmy6969]

***** Good one!! Good day TOOL
