The Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat. Will It Rally?

Is it an SUV? Is it a racecar? We're not really sure. All we know is it produces 710 horsepower and purrs like an angry kitty. How will it do on our mountainous rally stage here at Team O'Neil?

Wyatt's out here proving most people just can't drive worth a damn.

[@Mark-d5f7z]

True and proper tires help as well

[@DeiHarper9361]

That should be a given. Most people that buy these are no where near professional level of driving. Have you seen the guy that took the hellcat ring for a lap? He drove the shit out of that car.

[@shadwills8594]

Hhyeah! Not me! Looks like so much fun!

[@quikgt]

For sure, but this is how I grew up!

[@shakinbottles]

I just got an awd 2000 durnago 5.9L and it does surprisingly good out in the snow I don't think it could get stuck in anything with the right tires

[@Melonsareprettyyummy]

What a beast. Thanks for keeping this series alive! It's been a joy to watch over the years

[@Teamoneilrally]

Thanking for watching and sticking with us!

[@heathergreylive]

I keep saying this: Dodge has been dialing handling dynamics and they're doing a great job.

[@TheSpyder699]

NO NO garbage money Pitt

[@Turshin]

​@TheSpyder699 yes yes, you're a hater.

[@stevewalker3702]

I'm impressed the Durango was able to do the whole lap on one tank of gas.

[@WFO.]

😂

[@ENEN54]

😂😂

[@falcon4548]

And with only 2 sets of brakes ! 🥳🥳🥳🥳😂😂😂😜

[@jasoncaine2600]

That's called "TV magic" 🤷‍♂️

Coolest concept for a driving channel

[@Teamoneilrally]

Thank you we appreciate that.

[@AverageDemocracyEnjoyer69]

we need this and the TRX on the summer list too

[@AlfaScighera]

Strangely, I've had the opposite experience with Blizzaks and Nokians. Both the Blizzak WS60 and WS90 I've run had a tendency towards understeer when you would overstep traction. Whereas both the Nokian Nordman 7 and Hakkapeliitta 10 had, at minimum, the same (if not better) accelerating, stopping, and lateral grip, but a tendency towards oversteer when overstepping traction. Both for ice racing and normal street use. Which is far more useful and controllable. Long term, the traction of Blizzaks also seemed to drop off much sooner than my Nokians. Not to discredit Wyatt's comment at all, he's a far better driver than I'll ever be with massively more time behind the wheel. I just found it very interesting that he's had the completely opposite experience from me with the same tires. Would love to see a winter tire showdown on the same vehicle. I know Tyre Reviews exists on KZbin, but Wyatt's professional driving and different way of explaining the feel of traction would be great. Keep up the awesome videos! Glad to have Wyatt back!

[@crowntug]

I would love to see a winter tyre test on the same vehicle from Wyatt!

[@Turshin]

What did you put the tire on?

[@ducnut]

You’re nuts! Haha. I can’t even fathom hustling something so expensive and fast through the timber, like that. ✊️

[@relentlesslyKP]

I just bought a 2023 Black Durango Hellcat. This video made me feel better about the purchase

[@frederickjeremy]

I e never done anything like that with the wifes durango, even tho i have sent requests up the chain of command just to be shut down. Ive never had the privilege of trying out the srt one. But i can say the little bit i have gotten to play with our limited with the basic v6 tied to the 8 speed. I have been impressed with it in every aspect, the steering and suspension carry it really well, the drivetrain motivates it really well, even with a trailer with my tractor behind it. I’ve been impressed with the durango.

[@pauliewalnuts240]

I daily drive a grand marquis with blizzaks in the winter and its absolutely unstoppable. Tires are more important then drivetrain layout.

[@bigl4201]

A grand marquis with blizzaks is legendary. 🫡

[@BigBoss_7191]

I literally would do this if I had a Hellcat Durango. For now Ill make do with my R/T. Absolutely one of my favorite videos with a Durango Hellcat, I swear someday Ill own one! Subscribed!

[@zachscott4867]

Thanks for sharing this Wyatt and fun to see different cars do different things!

[@Teamoneilrally]

Thanks for watching!

[@matthewherr1588]

I gotta say, dodge gets a lot of shit but I have loved every mopar car I’ve ever owned. They’re always fun and good value per dollar.

[@sirchanloid]

I have the exact same car (down to the color 😂) and was literally doing donuts yesterday for the first time. It was glorious!

Just bought one yesterday in Destroyer grey traded in my RT

[@broodewd]

I would love to see the Honda Ridgeline on the Will ilIt Rally series, especially in the snow.

[@jakedenis4579]

2nd gen Ridgeline is absolutely fantastic in the snow I prefer the TCS on for tight snow covered roads

[@trashbandit2449]

Would have tons of understeer I would imagine

[@MrM4rvelous]

That was so fun to watch. Great driving. Thing looked great in black too!

[@dirtsailoroff-road5580]

I love the random vehicles, I'd like to see a 90s dodge ram or Chevy and a Lexus GX personally.

[@jesusbogard2403]

Would love to see you guys test a fiesta st before you modify it for proper use! Your guy’s use of them on the channel has made me even prouder to own one, But also has me torn on which direction to modify it!

[@quevenmz8456]

Thanks for this video, I own a 21’ HCD and i love watching what it can do in the snow. I live in San Diego and we dnt get anow here

[@dameagerbeaver7703]

Love it! Is it just me or does it seem like the left winter boot is searching the want of a clutch pedal? 😅

[@kristoferfc6525]

You should redo the GR Corolla when it's not slippery af, I want to see how close it gets to the Subaru WRX

[@jjjohnson1176]

Keep this series going!! Love it

[@foamer5490]

People love to have on dodge but they make some awesome vehicles

[@jerrodspencer3761]

hold the trac button with the ignition in the "key on position" -continue to hold it while starting the engine and continue to hold for about 7 seconds until the brake light comes on after the ABS lights. I have a 2015 5.7 AWD charger and that's what works for me. no assists at all

[@PianoSkillBoy]

The fact its half a second off from a WRX is impressive

[@charliejohnson6416]

The big ol winter boots cam got me laughing 😂😂😂

[@blackvenom530]

Drove just a plain SRT Durango once. Even that thing was mean, I didn't get it sideways though lol

[@tannonator0544]

Would be interested in a Jeep Cherokee comparison given same conditions

[@flurpoid]

Fantastic video guys, been hoping for either this or a Trackhawk to make an appearance. Looks like it had pretty sharp front end grip considering the conditions and overall weight of the vehicle.

[@E67CHope]

I really call it bs that it’s the third fastest! On the straight, you could’ve gone faster! And the fact that the Dodge Durango didn’t have a handbrake to use! And the fact that you still had ABS on and so you had to drive a certain way! With all of that into play! It seems like the Durango is faster than the WRX.. I think it should’ve been a tie

[@Дмитрийб-с4г]

заебись, охуительно. давайте опять серию выпусков will it rally, Вайат Нокс всё таки хороший ведущий.. Он может добиться больших просмотров, относительно больших в столь узкой теме.. надо это понимать.

[@josephTsnyder]

Lets go, another will it rally!

[@elliotsees8934]

Would love to see one of these with a Porsche 944. It’s been snowy near me recently and I’ve had loads of fun

[@elektro3000]

Very fun video and I love seeing the Durango Hellcat proving how well it can rally! I love driving my LX470 with Hakkas (would love to compare same vehicle with Blizzaks) in very slippery snow/ice. I have definitely settled on always locking the center diff both for the straight line stability at speed and the ability to go much harder into corners without losing the back end. What are your thoughts on part time or fully lockable full time 4WD on a big girl like this in the snow/ice versus the AWD systems that never truly lock up the center?

[@wasdf777]

i'd love to see a new gen CRV run this course on snow tires, i have weird feeling that it would be shockingly competent

[@BigEd2006]

I've loved the Durango's I've had as rentals. Only had a V8 rental once. Probably for the best or I'd have found one to buy in the SRT guise.

[@CaseyvlVisage]

I wouldn’t mind opting for the cheaper SRT model with only 475hp.. the damn thing still with its awd takes off the line so quick and I can deal with that since there’s really not much open road near me

[@zoidzoid87]

I wonder how my fx50 would do it's a beast in the Snow.

[@MrM4rvelous]

Beautiful! Mopar baby!!!

Hell Yeah! Love my ‘23 DDHC 🇺🇸🏁

[@anthonymanz9355]

Good vid

[@mr.gtmsworld2494]

Curious to know what it would do in snow mode.

[@NOTaNPC.]

thats my dream car

[@missilefool]

Man if dodge had fixed the look of the back of the durango, they would have a had a best seller but its such a let down. The only bad angles are from the back. Not aggressive, almost like a mom SUV.

[@JohnTaylor-tl1gh]

Hi Team O'Neil, love the will it rally videos. Can you guys do a Subaru outback/Crosstrek?

[@Averna222]

These videos are great as a standalone, but comparing the times to each other is a bit pointless when several of the vehicles aren't on snow tires. Maybe splitting the winter time list into 2 lists could help.

[@leveluplife8585]

I wonder how much power was actually being put down in those conditions

[@mitchellsteindler]

At least 350hp of snow blowing

[@ChainsawChuck13]

5:27 a hot rod snowmobile that you took a shortcut with, too. Per the tire discussion, what do you think of the Toyo Observe G3 Ice? To me they seem excellent in all dimensions. Definitely better than the Pirelli Winter Sottozeros I had on before, which were absolutely useless on ice and hardpack while not being good enough on dry pavement to make up for it.

[@MidwestMotor]

I am SO jelly!!! I bought a 2021 Durango RT, Tow N Go for many reasons - larger SUV for family, AWD for my Midwest winters, I've already done numerous mods and the next is a Whipple 3.0 with an easy goal of over 600 crank HP. And I'm dying to do some donuts / cookies / brodies but let me tell you Global Warming is real!!!! I've had this vehicle THREE years now and not ONCE have I had the chance to put into Track mode with ECS off and enjoy it like this! UGH!!!!!! 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁

[@FranciscoVenegas-u7e]

Do the trackhawk once

Do a Lexus is350

[@XRobo13X]

Will a semi tractor rally ?

[@DaftknightLP]

So i have a awd kona its mostly front wheel drive with the ability to do 50/50 do you guys think itd rally, its also a dct so my thoughts are it might not be good for that

More like a personal thing but can u guys PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a 10th gen civic si

[@Swepul]

did this yt acc got ghost banned or smt? its pretty good but has so few views and all.....

[@greengabe5]

Are there any major differences between the Durango Hellcat and the Jeep Track Hawk?

[@xnotasweatx]

Not really apart from design

[@gregmatson1470]

Mechanically, no. Dynamically, the Durango has a longer wheelbase (3rd row, more cargo room, more towing capacity) which is said to allow it to put power down better compared to a Trackhawk.

[@rangerover06sc]

The Durango uses an open rear diff and the Jeep gets a e-lsd

[@akbarroosevelt2246]

Straight 🔥

[@Drosemfg]

Why does drive auto with two feet

[@Teamoneilrally]

Auto or manual transmission, the same technique is applied: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHfaeHmmoaimnrc

Do an Audi q7 or Sq7 do it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@CHUCK-sy8xr]

who let wyatt get bored

[@Blas4ublasphemy]

assuming the GR corolla didn't have the snow tires?

[@Teamoneilrally]

It had less adequate snow tires, and the conditions were very slippery the day of the GR Corolla video.

[@Blas4ublasphemy]

TY for the reply, I won't lie it hurts to see the Durango so much faster and not even at it's max potential. lol@@Teamoneilrally

[@MrM4rvelous]

Sometimes we just gotta suck it up

[@igetsrealmad5716]

Where da Audi videos at

[@Bri5150]

Didn't know they made the Durango Hellcat with anything else but that awful red interior. Are those seat covers?

[@TheMoparnigans]

No these are the other option. I hated the leather and was pumped to find one with the cloth seats

[@keg4998]

It should be a crime not to do this in the new wrx 😂

[@ianfairbanks1318]

oh c'mon. You guys put this up? Do the newest impreza. do a base model.

[@WithCarePlz]

They’ll rally. Slower times than a 300hp STI, but they’ll rally. But the short guys that buy these don’t know car control and just wanna drive straight in an automatic and get attention lol

[@MisterNiggaX]

Still slower than a bugeye wrx making about 230 hp in the snow 😬

[@imagiine]

can't beat the sound and practicality of the suv tho. Wish dodge cars lasted more than 5 years

[@trashbandit2449]

At some point horsepower is irrelevant, and that point is extremely low in situations with next to no traction like snow or ice. He probably only used a few hundred horsepower

[@silverrain99205]

@@imagiinethe WRX is more practical for a lot of people. Price point and fuel economy play a big role.

[@busslayer4790]

The sideways traction of tires really is a thing. I have had tires that felt great standing on the thottle from of stop, but become completely useless as soon as you get slightly sideways. It isn't something that really gets picked up in most testing.

[@user-sd3rj6tl8l]

idk if im correct on this but ive seen rally tires and i think i heard somewhere that that may be what the outer tread is for. From the inner to outer part the pattern changes

[@toddthezondalover645]

​@@user-sd3rj6tl8lExactly, that's why it's basically at a 45° angle.

[@ALMX5DP]

That thing is a beast. I would love to have one of the last final call models, or heck even just one of the 392 models.

[@philbender7098]

Dont fall for it lol. In 2021 they said that it would be the only year. Then in 2023 they made another 2500 of them and said it would be the last year. So I traded in the 2021 hellcat for the 23 hellcat durango. now they are saying they will make more in 2024 smh haha.

[@MontanaMedic13]

That looked extremely fun. I agree with your assessment of the Blizzaks lateral traction, currently they are reducing my ability to randomly drift around corners at low speeds with myfamily.... but they definitely claw there way through winter and are much safer than the all terrains that I use the rest of the year.

[@PittyFPV]

It’ll tear up the track and the road to the soccer pitch.
