Nothing against challenger but ZL1 Camaro just looks more muscular and more engaging to drive. Again no offense. I'm a Mopar guy but my friend urged me to drive a ZL1 before settling on SRT8. I also test drove a hellcat, it felt a bit quicker in a straight line but it honestly felt too damn heavy on it's toes man. I just couldn't have fun with it under normal day to day driving whereas the Camaro just feels like a nimble giant. If that makes sense. The old Camaro just has a road presence that isn't matched.

@@joshhanley5631how exactly are they losing money selling the cars people want?

[@larrymunn5279]

@@EldePHX Well it goes something like this. The less units you are able to sell the more you have to charge to make up shortfall for development and production costs. The more the price goes up the less accessible it is the less units you sell, till it becomes an exclusive club like say, Ferrari. If I had that kinda money I'd drop it on one of these cars in a heartbeat.

Although I’ve always been first and foremost a Mustang fan, I respect the Challenger, Camaro as well as all the pony/muscle cars for many years of fun they have provided for multiple generations of enthusiasts. Doge especially has never been afraid to take some chances over the years and as a result have produced some especially insane iterations of their cars. You will be greatly missed, R.I.P. 😢

[@TheRealElmoSkateTeam]

They definitely goofed on the dart though

[@VideoMan0904]

Everything about this video is awesome. To the motion graphics artist, amazing job, that is such good work, espeically the sequence at 6:55.

[@nathanm3284]

RIP to the Dodge Challenger indeed. I had to go get my own "Last Call" cars. Great video!

[@nTrylo]

1:08 the sheer joy on your face and the "yeah" at the end was so genuine.

[@HazyTown01]

There is no way in hell that the Challenger is going to stay gone forever. Mark my words.

[@tinystar3010]

Of course not. This is the 3rd cancelation, not the first.

[@commandercody2224]

yea, and gas cars ingeneral wont be gone forever imo. sooner than later people will realise that going from gas cars to evs so fast just wont work

[@clonecommandermike332]

I hope it does, I don't want it back as some dumbass EV crossover

[@NewbombedTurk]

Bold prediction there bro

[@tim0948]

Its my favorite car since I'm a kid. I will always remember this legend

[@Supplayers]

More jay leno in future episodes this was a banger !

[@KoryBrooks]

@5:30 for real, those 4 speeds are so close together it was hard to tell if you were in 1st or 3rd. At the time of writing this, we have a 1970 restored Challenger with a 440 and 4 speed in our shop. I took off in 3rd at one point thinking it was in first and that clutch smell is strong, but not as strong as that crazy 440

[@gandalug1]

Two legends in one episode Jay Leno and the Challenger, nice!

[@aladin_ak]

Woodward, one of the best spots to catch all sorts of vehicles out and about. And obviously the Woodward dream cruise that takes place each year.

[@BlessByYou777]

I gotta long way to go acknowledge about cars. Watching a pro car channel makes u know about cars. Childrens says i dont know about cars at all🙄. Jay leno is the god of cars. Its a gran turismo jay leno ps5 knaw what i mean. i respect him forever. Hes a living legend.

This is old school Donut. We love to see it

[@cenciende9401]

There's no such thing, just Donut. I guess a fake fan who doesn't actually pay attention wouldn't know that though.

[@mustang8206]

@@cenciende9401 A real fan knows Donut used to make high quality videos and not these Wish and BuzzFeed lists videos

[@rudyjilisen]

just wanted to say, i love the animation sequence!

[@Tyy_Gee]

Now this is the content we like to see!

[@ThebigNut]

Big appreciation for the editing in this episode

[@pengos1639]

This is a really great video, Like a documentary. Keep it up Donut

[@Metalgearmadness]

I have a 2016 Challenger HC in manual and it's still a blast to drive. Its just sad that they are giving up on it.
