The 203-MPH Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye is the American Dream (In-Depth Review)

Subscribe ► bit.ly/3bADvMn
Price (as tested) 💲: 90,060
Powertrain ⚙️: 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V8
Output 💪: 797hp, 707 lb-ft of torque
Transmission 🕹: 8-speed automatic
0-60 MPH 🚦: 3.5 seconds
Top Speed 💥: 203 mph
MPG (as tested) ⛽️: 12 city/21 hwy/15 combined
Curb weight ⚖️: 4,610 lbs
Miles straps into the 2021 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye, the most powerful mass production sedan with a top speed of 203 mph. Yes, technically the Bentley Flying Spur and its 207-mph VMAX is faster, but the Charger Redeye is actually something the hard-working American may someday be able to afford. And if he or she can afford this V8-powered, supercharged sedan, then all it takes is a trip to his or her local Dodge dealership, some paperwork, and an $80K check to become the new owner of a 797-horsepower street-legal monster. If that isn't the American dream in vehicular form, what is?
But could a brash muscle car like the Charger Redeye actually be something you'd want to live with every day, or are you better off socking away an extra $20-30K for a BMW M5 Competition or Mercedes-AMG E63 S sedan? Alternatively, if you can live without the extra pair of doors, would a Ford Mustang GT500 be a better fit? Find out in this in-depth review.

@@user-ye7el2hh5g if you’re gonna finance, go to your loaner and ask for a pre approval with that credit score, after that you should find out what your APR % would be. Ideal is below 10% but also I wouldn’t highly recommend financing a hellcat, the monthly payment may be like $600.

[@williamthornton5856]

Great detailed review MPH. I wish I had seen this detailed review before I took delivery of my Indigo Blue Charger Redeye nine and half months ago . Like the way you reviewed almost everything. One of the great things about this car (other than the glorious 2.7 litre supercharger sound) is that it attracts lots of attention. Also, one of the bad things about this car is that it attracts lots of attention. I do commute to work in mine on non-rain days and I have a secure parking place. It's always fun getting that empty traffic gap and then closing it on the interstate. Doesn't happen often enough though.

[@MilesPerHr]

You picked the best color for this car! Enjoy it 👍

[@MrM4rvelous]

What a stellar in depth review. Great camera angles, some unique ones too. High quality. Host is not annoying, genuine KNOWLEDGEABLE. Sound captured was lovely too, I cannot get enough of whine. Currently I have a TorRed Daytona 6.4L but I would love to get a cat sometime. With Stellantis announcing sales of it coming to an end I'm feeling anxiety as I'm not currently in a position to buy one. So that opening line about a layman being able to get into a car with this kind of performance may not be true going forward as the price will only increase.

[@MilesPerHr]

Thank you for the feedback! Love the 6.4. I, too, have fears prices for these will get out of hand. I'm hopeful that the production numbers will keep them attainable, but that can only last so long. In a few years, these will get pricey no doubt. Like you, I can't afford one, but I really wish I could!

As the years go by my respect for this old veteran continues to grow. The trap is set by looking at the Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye. Then ya end up driving away in one of the "less insane" models, LOL. They don't make cars like this anymore, but FCA does!

For my money, I’d go with the 392 Scat Pack!

Lets get something straight, this is not FCA, its Dodge. Just because Dodge is owned by FCA doesn't mean its not designed and engineered by SRT.

Red interior for me

[@LSp8]

I love these cars and I'm definitely getting one soon and glad these old school sedans still exist. I also love the 3gen CTS-V and it's cool u can get a 6 sp manual on the CT5-V BW. My only pet peeves I've noticed on the HC is my $40k R/T has a folding rear armrest with illuminated cupholders and a storage bin. The top tier $100k version of my car doesn't have a rear armrest 🤣. Also my sunroof cost me $1,295. The EXACT same sunroof in the HC is $1,995🤦🏾‍♂️. No option for power folding mirrors. No Technology Package but the Challenger has it, and the Challenger even has a rear armrest. Other than that I'm ready to put my deposit down on a std Hellcat WB but thinking about waiting and saving a lil more 💰 to go straight to a Redeye-Jailbreak. Don't mind the wait and not really trying to deal with ADM. I also heard the push down parking brake is now a electronic one on the 22s. Excellent Review! 👏🏽

[@MilesPerHr]

Those are some interesting/annoying details! I'm itching to drive the Jailbreak. Glad you enjoyed the video!
