Would you rather have the Aston Martin or the Dodge Challenger? 🤔
Aston Martin probably
Dodge….
@@TDLAW_ says the guy who never heard of hellcat
Clarkson: Maniac
Dodge
Aston.
If i wanted a vehicle to leave the tarmac i would get a jet...
Let's all just take a minute and be grateful that these 3 are still alive and still entertaining us
Frr
Another of these lame “let’s all…” posts. 🙄
@@mavfan1 So you are racist towards Japanese? Because this is a very common saying in Japan.
@@G2Bryce 🤦🏻♂️
@mavfan1 let's not get bogged down with who posted what.
"240 years of independence and that's the best they can do" - Classic Clarkson
Shots fired lol
As an American, I would take the brown Aston over the dodge… however I doubt that the Aston could do much against a GT or corvette. 😂😂
@@cameronrice406 I raise you the Valhalla and the Valkyrie.
@@cameronrice406 "It isn't brown, it's sunset orange!"
@@beauxr.benoit1374 At that price point, it BETTER beat those two 😂
It’s lowkey impressive how close the Hellcat’s laptime was to the Aston considering that it has zero concept of traction.
considering how much better a high-end Camaro is than the Hellcat on road courses, if they would have had one of those it would have embarrassed the Aston Martin.
Yeah, Challengers aren't really designed with bendy tracks in mind
@@JobiWan144 nor a DB11...
@@sbw1296 Although the Aston is a GT car first and foremost, I strongly suspect that the DB11 was faster in the corners, and the Challenger was faster in the straights.
240 years of independence vs 309 years for Britain as a country and only half a second is the best Britain can do? Plus $100k more? C'mon! Now that's embarassing.
Imagine sitting at a track day and you see a DB11 drift chasing a Demon
Sounds like a great day to me.
*GO BEAT CRAZY*
For a half second difference that means it's down to the driver. That's pretty amazing and a great value for money for the Dodge.
Dodge owners are the real winners in the end honestly
@@turbodarkle American car owner are always the loser lol
Yeah, but the entire episode show you why owning one suck if you have the money for one, do you wanna be that dick that wakes the entire hotel up in the morning when you start that thing up? Well most dodge owners do and you have to be a special type of person to never get sick of it
@@coreygolpheneee Yup. I have had some very fast cars but I am totally over the noise. Don't need a lot of drama. Just the speed.
But you still need to sit in a Dodge...
James, Jeremy and Hammond are the best. Nobody could have the chemistry they have. Hilarious all the time.
Which one of them is winning the accident competition ? Got to be close for May and Hammond if you count May falling off the horse ?
They are the best.
Still miss the fourth wheel from Top Gear…
Miss Stiggy
Checkout cartrek, they are next best thing and definitely only people capable of replacing our beloved trio.
They can if you give the future generations of car guy’s a chance, geez.
'240 years of independence and that's the best they can do' lol xD
Lmao, far from it. The Dodge is a yacht.
Yeah, have you seen the size of our Navy?...like it or not we're the imperialists now:^)
Two commenters taking this joke well too seriously, but it's nice seeing it happen from both sides of the pond, like balance it's a beautiful thing
@@dbunik44 u wish =D

Yes son, we're watching. Well done, we're very proud of you.
I do enjoy Richard's Americaboo love of muscle cars.
As the other two observed, he is secretly American.
I'm surprised he didnt put on his cowboy hat and boots for this one.
@@resignator In one of the instances he did that, he had to run out of Alabama.
@@dbclass4075 I remember that one. He was literally running away. Lol :)
Americaboo?
Clarkson goes on about “how perfect the traction control is” and then turns it off the first chance he gets 🤣
That's insane performance for that money, good job Dodge.
For those wondering: Season 1, Episode 3: Opera, Arts and Donuts
Thank you fuck me this RUclips channel is bad at advertising / referencing their OWN SHOW
@@Emira_75 Yeah, i dont get why it so hard for them to add season and/or episode number. Guess the whatever running this account newer watched the show.
In all honesty, I’m proud it was even that close.
In all honesty, if they repeated the laps, Hellcat would only get faster, driver has things to learn. The Austin Martin had already used all its electronic tricks, driver can only aim that car differently.
@@unclejim1528 Hellcat will overheat and burn through consumables faster.
@@dAbaPEsTA123 Hellcat has the ability to run AC air through the intercooler. The Hellcat will not overheat...
@@demodemoncrat441 the a/c cools the intake air charge going into the combustion chamber so horse power stays consistent it has nothing to do with the cooling system on the car. That being said it can do laps all day long and never break a sweat. The Aston will have overheat issues long before the cat runs out of gas. The Aston was built in a colder crappy weather place. Put it in a warmer climate to live and it won't take long before running hot becomes an issue. Hellcat was born in and for a hotter environment it is way more prepared for the conditions. Oh ya did someone mention 100k cheaper. But if someone said pick one for free it would be the cush of the Aston. It's gorgeous and still kind of a beast. A little more exclusive too, hellcats are everywhere
@@plap. Power chilling that air intake still brings the engine temp down, and so does the "race cool down" mode, which also uses AC. I'm not a fucking moron but thanks explaining engine cooling to me, like I am one...
These guys are a riot!!!
Let's not forget to give them credit for being really talented drivers as well.
Yep, didn´t know they were that good, going after each only meters apart sliding full throtle takes a lot of talent .
Coincidentally, of course, the interior shots of them driving the cars stopped entirely once they were sideways. Definitely a coincidence.
Not really no... If you go to websites like Laptrophy where everyday people record their laps you can see people doing a lap in 2m13... in a Golf GTI.
May doing his Bob Ross impression against the background of sonic mayhem was brilliant.
Everyone loves happy little trees 🌲 🎨
That supercharger whine gets me every time! Sure, a good turbo whistle never goes unappreciated, but damn can Dodge build mean supercharged monstrosities 😂
In this episode, Jeremy Clarkson attempts to determine just how many bracelets can one man wear while driving a supercar.
DB11 isn't really a supercar
@@JobiWan144 600+hp and a 200+mph top speed I think classifies it as a supercar, maybe not as fast as others.
3:10-we find captain slow in the Himalayan Mountains a true artist at heart 😂then
WOOSH🚁💨🚗💨😂
“240 years of independence and thats the best they can do” 😂
We also have a Tesla Model S Plaid that beats almost every Super/Hyper car the Europeans have to offer.
@@rickitysplitz7035 germans would like to have a word lol
@@rickitysplitz7035 So the plaid is faster than a kornegsegg jesko absolut or a Bugatti chiron 300+ ?
To be fair, England has been independent for a thousand years. How's that working out for them?
@@rickitysplitz7035 are you talking about the same 1000hp Tesla that's barely faster than a Porsche cayenne suv or are you talking about the one that's a full minute slower around the nurburgring than the 911 gt2 rs
At 2:20 OH MY GAWD! That drift from the challenger and the way they captured the shot woke me the fuck up!
Reminds me of watching the General Lee do drifts...in dirt!
Shame they switched to a strictly single car tour film format. I would love to see Jeremy's opinion of the C8 Z06.. with Hammond driving. :)
Jeremy is douche, always has been. All he is good for is belittling, throw a Corvette Z06 in there and they have nothing to bring to the table. Sad ending to this series, but they really need some manners. Brits........
It would destroy that Astin martin.
@@stevehangen2905 Oh, yeah, obviously. I don't mean against the Aston, I mean in general. Or give Jeremy something higher end, maybe a McLaren or something Italian.
Against a C8 they would put a ferrari or lamborghini.
@@findingandvalue They would have to. but neither could match it in price range,,,,not even close
It’s honestly sad that the Aston Martin barely beat a drag car with the aerodynamics of a brick
Why? It's not designed to beat a drag car. You might as well say it's sad that it can't carry a bale of hay or ford a stream.
@@jrd33 Not designed to beat a drag car? Why not? Is it not a high end, elite, luxury level, hand made sport car? Its clearly NOT a utility vehicle "designed to carry hay or ford a stream" yet neither is the Dodge LoL! The Dodge Hellcat isnt some "gasser" or a "Fuelie" thats barely street legal on American roads,.its just a sort of pale homage to those purple built beasts. I love and adore Aston Martin but 100,000 more for only half a second is kind of silly,..( but a super fun silly attest )
@@terryshrk "Not designed to beat a drag car? Why not? " -- because the typical Aston Martin customer has no interest in drag racing. AM customers want luxury, refinement, style, prestige, comfort. You don't buy an AM if all you care about is straight line acceleration, just as you don't buy a Rolex if you just want to know what time it is.
Thank You!
@@jrd33 they put 600+ hp in it for a reason, and you can say the same thing about a porsche and it would most definitely smoke a hellcat on track time
As always, when these three are together it's magic! Great show.
As an American muscle car lover, I found this hilarious. Bravo!
Hard to believe that this is now almost SEVEN years ago!
Yeah this particular episode was released 6 years ago yet it feels like yesterday.
Are you serious? I watch the grand tour constantly and it feels like it only came out a year or two ago.
@@alex1695lopez - Absolutely. First streamed in 2016, and of course you can always tell the year by the cars’ registration prefixes, in this case ‘16’ plates.
OMG! You just blew my high! I thought this was recent.
@@alandab Maybe cause the clips get re-uploaded all the time. Also the fact that the last two years went by so fast. I know people who didn't know until recently that the studio format ended 3 years ago.
I don't know if it was intentional... But Hammond acting like a total moron in the dodge is rather accurate...
You mean acting like Clarkson ?
@@tonycomer1415 But it is Hammond who had more crashes.
Hammond in this episode was kinda being a dick though .
@@dbclass4075 Who said he hadn't. It was a response to Hammond acting like a moron.
Clarkson has always called Hammond a redneck
I miss Hammond, Clarkson and May....if nothing else could be said about them, they are entertaining
Man, I miss Mugello circuit in F1. Such a gorgeous technical circuit.
Hammond could have taken the extra hundred grand he didn't spend, and bought James a Dacia Sandero , a new paint set and some property in the country. Give me the Challenger!
Love the bantar between these guys. And that Dodge is a thing of beauty. Love it.
He politely asked " Do you mind if I don't take part in this?" 😂😂😂😂
I'm friggin dying, Clarkson gets me every time!
This was the Race we didn't asked for but the one we all needed to see😎👌
I'm so glad to be alive to watch these 3 do their thing.
Absolutely the best car show on TV. By far. No question about it. This is gold.
Exciting and funny James painting and the race fabulous
Consistently the greatest thing since they started!
Bar none the best trio that have ever been on tv. Thank you!
Funny! This is the Monte Python of car comparisons!
Since the Aston is a refined beauty and since burning up tires is fun but secondary, I'd take the Aston.
Actually, the price of each is beyond what I'm willing to pay
All 3 of them have amazing color for sure.
Well admittedly this clip IS six years old.
Though there is the debate of whether the Aston Martin is brown or sunset orange.
Colour*
I love the subtlety of James May
Only one guy having fun on the track 😂😂 Mopar or no car!!!
Either way you're walking home 🤣
The guys are just magic on the screen. No other top gear hosts come close….
No Clarkson, the Corvette C8 Z06 is the best we can do!
Viper ACR was pretty badass too.
Sooo, pretty weak
@@febraxchines1330 You need to spend 3 times as much to MATCH the performance we get, pretty weak indeed.
Just so brilliant 👏
2:25 Why I have the slight impression that this two fit better in each other's car...
I miss these guys terribly.
We need the original Top Gear back!🇬🇧🇺🇸
🇦🇺
You want Angela Rippon and Tom Coyne back just like in 1977?
@@TheQuebeker okay, not THAT original.🤣
I remember top gear, I am glad that they are still going after 20 years
100k more AND the name Aston Martin.
Worth every penny.
Just love these guys!
I love how Clarkson puts down Aston right at the end hahaha
To quote Clarkson himself: "This is brilliant. But I like THIS".
The DB11 may have gotten a faster time in a very flawed test, but I'm willing to bet Hammond has way more fun with that Dodge than Clarkson does with the DB11. At the end of the day, that is what really matters in a car, is how much the driver likes it (mind you, this is excepting obvious safety hazards).
Hammond IS an obvious safety hazard, regardless of the car.
@@reliantncc1864 Well, yes. But that's hardly the car's fault, now is it?
The DB11 costs $210,000.. The Hellcat is half that and you can fix it with a hammer and duct tape. It was never meant to handle all that well since its a muscle car.
Not always. People buy expensive, sometimes overpriced, cars as a status symbol. To show that they can afford luxury items and are not in it for the driving experience. Ask yourself this. Which car is going to turn more heads, an Aston Martin or a Dodge?
@@alexshank1414 Which will cause people to turn and look when they hear it?
This was a fun one. I needed a little fun today.
Guess the Viper ACR is something Clarkson chooses to forget. It still owns nearly every track record on the planet for RWD. Would run that lap in 2:00
Well, not really, it's lost basically all of the few track records it held. Though it was a brilliant car for it's price range at the time. The Viper in general has always been that shining beacon in regards to track racing out of the US made cars, Corvette C5-R aswell of course though less thanks to GM and more Pratt & Miller for putting that together.
@@Arcticun Can't really fault it for the records falling off when Dodge just gave up on the thing in 2017
@@Arcticun Isnt it still the fastest manual car around the Nurburgring?
@@Jallu555 Yes, Porsche is slightly faster but solely relies on assisted flappy paddle shenanigans, the car does all the work.
As ever Jeremy is humble in victory 😅🤣😂
LOL ! ... just LOVED this video....these guys are just great!
We all want to see these three test the new C8 Z06 on a track!
Agree. After 240 years that C8 might be the best we can do.
@@chupposity Hahaha
I would take them both on with my C7 ZO6!
@@chupposity I would like to see it too but this is an old video and things have moved on a long way. It would be against things like a Radical, McLaren, BAC or similar now and as much as the C8 is lovely its not sticking with a 765LT anytime soon.
The C6 Z06 would best these two cars on Mugello
The colour on that rolls is awesome! Great video :D.
we need more from the grand tour
That's a heart breaking loss! 😅
For the brits
Loosing to a combination of Italians Germans and Americans. Fiat owned dodge at the time. Daimler allowed the design and production of the 5.7 hemi in 2003 leading up to the hellcat
"What a moron you are, Hammond !" - killed me 🤣🏎
Someone made a comment about Aston Martin's, " They are sheep in Wolf's clothing". I had a co worker who had worked in corporate management with both Ford and Aston Martin.
His issues with Aston Martin stemmed from the extremely high cost and frequency of repairs required to maintain them.
He said a new clutch for the manual cars was required about every 15,000 miles.
$6000.00 dollars.
I'm surprised Clarkson didn't ask whether the Challenger ' Comes with cheese on it' 🤣
That Lotus engineer should have walked after saying “You want comfort, call Rolls.”
Did you watch this whole video believing Jeremy was in a Lotus? How is that possible?
@@markfox1545 Did you watch this with the sound off? 0:53
These blokes are absolutely hilarious; great episode.
Great show people 💯💯💯 Les from Perth WA 👍👍👍👀👀👀
Should have run the widebody Challenger, handles way better than the one Hammond drove
Challenger 2:18.79
Aston Martin 2:18.35
I'm more impressed that the Dodge was that close then I am for the Aston beating the Dodge. That challenger could beat it with some more track time
The Heli fly over the watercolor session 😂
These guys are the best!
I hope these guys never retires love them
let's be real, these 3 are the reason the grand tour is popular..
Duh.
Thank you, Field Marshal Obvious.
Pure class the boys are back in town ave that TOP GEAR
My favourite part of the episode is when May and Clarkson try to get away from Hammond.
Love the Aston but there's something beautifully old school about the Dodge
And 100K less expensive
The funniest part is if that if Hammond pick a charger hellcat he would have won by a couple seconds against the Aston
@Nick Nicholas I don’t have to dream it, a charger is a little faster on the track then a challenger
@Nick NicholasWe definitely like big and noisy cars, but I wouldn’t say all American cars are the same. I mean Tesla is the leading electric car company and we know they aren’t noisy. If we are taking about having some semblance of sophistication or track capability there are cars like the Ford GT, the corvette zo6, and the viper acr. I think it’s just preference
Hellcat wasn't out yet when this was filmed
its good to see the 3 are together
Had a rubbish day.
This cheered me up.
With a widebody challenger he would have busted that Aston
Who said dodge can't turn corners, this vid proves dodge turns corners bloody well
The people who dis on Dodge just don't know how to drive one. They expect engineers to make cars that practically drive themselves. When American muscle cars were designed they were made for skilled racers to reach the limits of their skill. Acceleration and holding top speed was the primary goal. Definitely not for casual drivers. If you want a casual driving car don't buy an American muscle car.
@@LeadStarDude Muscle cars were definitely not 'made' for experienced racers, they were made for weekend warriors heading to the dragstrip for fun. There's a reason why the entire 'race on Sunday, sell on Monday' shtick was touted by the vast majority of American manufacturers during the 60's and 70's.
On top of that, the entire body-in-white, COPO and F/X programs they had. Outside of the GT40, Daytona Coupé and Corvettes, they tended to not really give a shit about handling.
You're correct Jeep. I've taken multiple courses at the Bondurant school in Arizona, in narrow and widebody Challenger Hellcat 6-speeds. They handle well enough that most people will never get to the limit. And they don't break while being beaten mercilessly for months on end. That Aston would explode on the first track day of six hours. Hellcats do 8,000 to 10,000 miles before being sent back to Dodge - running perfectly well. I bought a Hellcat after learning that they can take that kind of punishment. Five years later and it has needed nothing - except gasoline.
@@Arcticun Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday applied to far more then just drag racing, and to far more countries then just the US. That all disappeared when cars no longer had to be raced using factory options.
I love the fact that they're basically ALWAYS waaaaaaaaay over the top, there 3 and the crews are something else 😂
The 3 are the best motor presenters ever!
I am going to miss these three bafoons, the BBC did not do them justice and Amazon tried but after so many years thing do come to an end. By far the best car show to ever grace the TV. They have chemistry. I will now go and start watching from season 1, again...🙃😔🇺🇸👍❤
It is such a delight to watch these three awesome friends
10 seconds nice
Love the original og guys. Was best show ever made
More of these please 👍👍😀❤
Dodge challenger
I would gladly agree with Clarkson any other day but, considering how HEAVY the Dodge is,... That was very impressive, the Dodge Wins.
🤔🤔
Time is time, He lose.
@@gabrielpoester6662
I agree but, if a Cheetah were to win a race against an *Overweight Cow* by Less than half a second,... Would you really say that the Cheetah won that one? be honest.
@@XDRONIN but cows dont race
Compare those is like comparing formula 1 to a truck
One point for the manufactor is that the car has less weight as possible.
@@XDRONIN any race Will have not cars equal. Not even formula 1.
"O leclerc beat verstappen because in the end of the race had more fuel so was heavier than the red bull
Love these guys.
The hellcat just giving that standard v8 and supercharger sound combination 😌 4:39
Happy to see you two no totally disrespecting the American car for once. Not really a track car. I say put them in a 1/4 race and watch the extra 100k pound really be shameful.
Oh the Brit’s, always trying to prove their vehicles are better than the Americans. These are two completely different vehicles.
I hope after this track match up they head to the quater mile strip to show the Dodge take that thing apart.

Honestly, as much as I do love drag racing, I find it kinda lazy. You can make anything go fast in a straight line if you know what you're doing. Carrying a decent speed through the corners is much more impressive imo
Didn't hammond have one in a drag race against the camero . Took him like 3 hours to get it set up.
@@zeeman857 I don’t watch drag racing, but if they’re going to do a test which obviously favors the Aston then the least they should do is have a drag race that favors the Dodge
@@williamoleary9330 well to be fair, they were only .3 seconds apart from each other, if that. If they had given them to a professional driver the Dodge probably would've beaten the Aston. The fact is that Jeremy is actually the better driver of the 3, but again in the hands of a pro, the outcome probably would've been flipped
4:00 - Jeremy sounds like 'Gordon the Big engine!' "Get out of my way... Express coming through! The biggest and the best, and I pull the express..."
i smiled watching this the whole time lol.
Love James May's choice of Automophilia
Dodge Chanllenger love watching y’all’s videos the best
I absolutely love the look of a challenger here in Germany. Its rare and most of them are in that green and they stand out in the monotonous bmws and mercs of black and grey
MAN this looks fun!!
Man those guys have the Best job on the planet!! 🤗🎉😎
