I DONT WANT IT TO BE A JOKE, EVEN THINKING OF NEVER SEEING A NEW SRT FREAKS ME OUT, SRT IS LIKE THE TEMPLE OF PETROLHEAD. I LOVE YOU DODGE AND SRT......
Yeah man I'm in
You will it’ll just be an SRT-E
stfu dodges are not special it’s no big deal
SRT is shut Down and gone…
It is worse than that. This is that last ICE powered MOPAR period, as the whole line up will be EVed. The Camaro is to be axed next year. And Mustang, won't have an ICE for very much longer either. And you can thank EVs for this. Climate Change is the excuse for why they are dying, and it isn't real.
With cars like this and the EU allowing combustion cars past 2035 I'm actually positive that driving won't be dead any time soon
You gotta thank Germany(main funder of EU) and their opposition to ban on combustion cars that the EU backed down
From your mouth to God's ears!

What i really love about the Dodge is everytime someone complains about the lack of grip, Dodge solution is to add more horsepower 😂😂
Wow the best depth info of what dodge is and does best. Thank you. Because hardly anyone really talks about them this well. Even before srt dodge dominated at the drag all the time Mopar lives there. This why the demon and the demon 170 represent what's dodge is capable of.
People tend to forget Chrysler beside building cars. They also built missiles like the Redstone missile
And the Abrams Main Battle Tank 👍
Chrysler was well known for they're Engineering , also Electronics , they also were into sending man to the moon with the Apollo project , they built the boosters of the Apollo rockets , Chrysler was also into building boats and even had a Marine Division and Defense Division building several main battle tanks for the military , they also were into building air conditioning and heating units which was known as the Air Temp Division , They contributed a lot to the automotive industry , I really miss the old Chrysler Corporation . The founder of Chrysler Corp. , Walter P. Chrysler would be very Furious knowing what they did to his company .
Electrification is really making the car enthusiasts sad ... I love Dodge. One thing I want to say and is true is that Dodge will always make a car with more than 730 ponnies to the drag strip (pavement)
EVs are crap, not reliable
@@Americafirst-i8qAnd dangerous
@@Americafirst-i8q yea well we will run out of fossil fuels eventually so we were gonna have to do this sooner or later
@@Americafirst-i8q Not reliable? There are tons of Teslas on the road everyday everywhere. Have you ever seen one in person broken down? I haven’t. And that’s just Teslas. I’m not even including the other EVs. I see a Tesla every two seconds driving to work. What I don’t see is one broken down. So how many do you see broken down in a day?
@@Denzel9911 we might run out of fossil fuels like we currently have but then we can simply just switch to synthetic fuels, bio fuels, alternative fuels (hydrogen, ammonia, natural gas, propane, etc), ethanol, methanol, carbon neutral/zero/negative fuels. Porsches e fuel is made with just air and water, which is near infinite. Hydrogen can be made by putting water through electrolysis. Ethanol is made from corn. Methanol is made from methane which we can get from farm animals. I can keep going. As long as there is still air, water, corn, animals, etc, ICE will still survive. It’s just a matter of getting the government to see that these fuels are much cleaner and produce zero carbon and low to no NOx emissions
The DODGE brand will forever go down in history as LEGENDARY!!!!!!!
The internal combustion engine. Isn't going anywhere no time soon. It will take 40 to 50 years. To update our power infrastructure. To keep up with the demand. Of millions of EV's on the road. And the average homes power demands. So this might end the V8 for a little while. But it won't be their last one.

I recently just got excepted into UTI and will be taking their one year automotive course to become a certified technician. And my plan is to get sought out by a Dodge dealer and then I will be taught in the ways of MOPAR. And then I’ll be certified in Mopar. Then I can can go out and say I’m a certified MOPAR expert.
As sad as it may be to see the legendary SRT drive off into the sunset, Dodge made sure they went out roaring!!! And whatever electric vehicles they have planned for the future, I just hope they keep their drive to push the technology to its limit! Fuel injection or Watt injection, there’s more than one way to make a car go fast…and something tells me Dodge might take their new EVs and infuse them with the essence of the SRT brand…whether or not it’s called that!
I hope that classic combustion engines can still coexist alongside EVs! Same with Hybrids! I love all cars, and I’d like to live in a world where all types of cars can share the racetrack! Or Highway! Or garage! Or…space shuttle?
(In all seriousness, Here’s to the legendary Dodge Demon and the SRT brand, and here’s to what the future may hold for Dodge, and car enthusiasts alike!🛞💖
All this is happening because we the people let all these political fools make decisions for us the people. They want to stick us with things we don’t want. There’s no reason why this has to happen other then politicians. And it has nothing to do with the ecology.
I’m really hoping they can crank out some badass vehicles with the hurricane inline 6 and maybe make some more hybrids in addition to evs. The car business and government really need to look at carbon neutral/zero/negative fuels, alternative fuels, synthetic fuels, bio fuels, ethanol, etc. they should also look at technologies like microwave ignition. With these fuels and technologies on our engines, we can take off any current emissions tech like EGR, DEF, catalytic converters, soft limiters, etc as well as dramatically increase engine size. Doing both of these will unleash boat loads of hidden horsepower that has been dormant since the 70s. We can have boat and plane engines crammed into our everyday cars and big military engines in our SUVs and pickup trucks. And they would all run squeaky clean, imagine that man
I'm a cruising man but I love HP God Bless These Beasts We Have Made
I can’t believe I’m 18 years old staring into the end of the combustion engine it’s absolutely uncool
Me too bro. We must fight for the push to convert to synthetic and alternative fuels otherwise we r all doomed
I’m 69 years old and I find that fact a little disturbing for obvious reasons. But I find the sudden end of the production of internal combustion engines even more disturbing. They say old people have a fear of change. I don’t necessarily agree with that statement but any fears that stem from the sudden termination of the engines that I’ve enjoyed building and racing all of my life, are fully justified 🏁
@@danielwilson6665 the only way we can save the combustion engine is with synthetic fuels, alternative fuels, biofuels, carbon neutral/zero/negative fuels, hybrids, and innovations like microwave ignition. Evs are not the way to go. Maybe keep them around for city people but for the rest of us, change the fuel and make ‘em hybrid
@@fadedsoul23 … Since the main reason ( or excuse) for replacing IC automobiles with impractical and problematic EV’s is the harmful byproducts produced from the combustion of fossil fuels, a practical solution to the harmful emissions problem would definitely be the development of an alternative fuel source with near zero emissions that can be produced in large quantities at a reasonable cost. That’s not an easy task but with the technology and resources currently available, it just might be a good solution to the problem.
The world we live in has many problems that need to be solved and this is one of them. Unfortunately there are political groups, tree huggers and assholes in general that would oppose the development of alternative fuels for all of the wrong reasons. Screw them.
I say go for it 🏁
@@danielwilson6665 screw them indeed, clean fuels are the way
Dodge just hit different. Love it ❤🔥🔥
I actually just caught a story today where synthetic fuel is going to be an acceptable alternative to fossil fuel. Synthetic fuel will have basically zero emissions. It will enable combustion engines as we know them to continue being built without the guilt. The downside is that it will be a while before there's enough refineries to sustain any kind of a demand. I'm assuming it will be fairly expensive and exclusively for luxury vehicles to start out with.
Future might be not so dark after all
@@Dankmemeslover69 Definitely :)
Synthetic fuels are carbon neutral, putting out the same amount of carbon that went into the process to make it. Which is good, it’s a step in the right direction. We gotta aim for carbon negative and carbon zero. Carbon negative is producing less carbon than the amount used to make the fuel, so carbon is actively being removed from the atmosphere instead of just being used and put back like in carbon neutral fuels. Carbon zero is absolutely zero emissions. This is where we wanna be. Not a single drop of CO2 coming from the exhaust assuming no emissions equipment strapped to the engine and exhaust at all. So no EGR, DEF systems, catalytic converters, soft limiters, etc. the only thing we would then need to worry about now is NOx emissions which would be almost nonexistent but still present. To fix this we can use secondary liquid injection (tertiary if the engine is already both direct and port injected). For example, hydrogen combustion engines are being tested with water injection which has shown to significantly reduce or eliminate NOx emissions. They are also trying something similar to diesel engines with hydrogen injection (however the diesel engines would need to be converted to a carbon zero diesel equivalent fuel in order for this to work). We can also use microwave ignition, which uses microwaves to ignite fuel at a much lower temperature. Horsepower and torque should be unaffected by both of these. Hopefully the government can open their eyes to this reality but that might be wishful thinking
@@fadedsoul23 Very informative! Nicely explained!
@@kevinl3235 thanks man, if you can’t tell, I’m very heavily invested in this 😅. I want the combustion engine to survive. I don’t like the fact evs are being crammed down our throats. Like I could care less if they are being produced, go ahead and make them, but I’m not ok with evs being crammed down our gullets and killing off the combustion engine all without even bothering to look into any form of alternative like the fuels I mentioned or hybrids
Great video! Well done!
Thank you very much!
The boys at dodge are outrageous and I love them for it. The Tesla model s plaid do what the demon can maybe, but will have make such outrageous sounds like the supercharger whine.
That Dodge Slant Six was INVULNERABLE...........................
Build them and they'll sell all day, love the sound and power.
Mercedes didn’t start SRT. SRT came from the Dirty Dozen. A group of Chrysler engineers no one wanted to work with. So they were assigned to special projects, the Viper & the Prowler. From there they became PVO which produced the Ram SRT10 & the SRT 4. Eventually becoming SRT
Great job on this video guys. 👍
Thanks for watching!
Dodge was the punk that gave everyone the middle finger. They grew up and reigned in their rebellious attitude, until they throw on the SRT sweatshirt again.
Did purposely forget the SRT 6…..? 🤔.
From the Chrysler Crossfire SRT6 a 0-60 in 4.8 sec with the exact Benz AMG supercharged V6.

Mopar has always had my favorite muscle cars!
On Doug’s video on this vehicle
On of the comments said their would be a “satan with 1000 hp”,
Well they weren’t half wrong…
I'm still pissed about the viper
It's not the end, folks! Eventually, after the damage to the environment by electric has been done, they'll start building ICE cars again; and companies like Dodge will celebrate with another monster muscle car. We've been through this before, in the 1970's "oil crisis".
I wholeheartedly hope you are right
I like how ppl talk ab the 0-60 time like it’s just a casual time. When it literally broke the world record for quickest production car by a crazy margin
Impressive 0-60 times, but the thing about AWD EVs like the nevera and plaid is their performance is repeatable and takes 0 effort to pound off similar 0-60 and quarter mile times with ease. With the 170 you'll probably need a prepped surface with just the right conditions and a fortune cookie from the Dalai Lama himself and then just maybe you'll be able to achieve anywhere near that 1.66 sec time.
@@thedumbconspirator4956 ah ok I see what ur saying
@@moneyman1062 I still love dodge and fully understand why they're quoting those figures, but if you buy this expecting to demolish plaid owners that are consistently putting 9.3s on the quarter mile and 9.4s on the street. You'll be disappointed except maybe a few times where you get every single thing just right.
The sad fact is that they aren’t making enough of them, dodge should flood the mark with them, allowing everyone a fair chance to buy own,and drive one..otherwise all they are doing is building a car, (cool or not) that most muscle car guys won’t be able to buy , or for that matter even touch or sit in one in the dealer lot..
Can you imagine buying a company known by its wild horsepower and crazy cars and immediately wanting to kill that aspect.
Well thanks to boring companies like fiat and Chrysler I don't have to imagine :/
I'm not an American but seeing the demon 170 makes me want to sing their national anthem
🇺🇸can't agree more🇺🇸
It kinda sucks that originally Chrysler is the first company to created the muscle car in the 50s with the 300, but they never approved it. It was until in 1964 Pontiac made the GTO and officialized the term Muscle Car. And now they are transition to full electric rather than step by step with hybrid hemis.
What do you mean, there's quite a few different 300's from the 50's that was Produced. You can check them out on here with Jay Leno because he has a few videos on a couple different ones from the 50's. They just didn't Sell a lot as he talks about, but they Produced them for the Masses.
ACTUALLY IT WAS THE '49 OLDS ROCKET 88 that was the first Muscle Car. The 300 was the first car to generate 1HP/CI, The corvette was later. And Muscle cars weren't called MUSCLECARS back in the Muscle Car era, they were called SUPER CARS back in the 60s.
On the subject of everything jumping to EV, charging stations are going to have to be as common as gas stations for any matter of practicality for daily driving. A buddy of mine has a new Tesla and he warned about making sure to check your range before leaving the house or risk getting stranded if you cant get to a charging station in time.
Is the title an April fools joke?

Yep.

Damn you older guys have the fun but we new generation can buy it on a restomod....its really better when its in production
This makes me sad I growed up with doge Challengers and demon it's really sad to see them go😢
nvm I thought it was real but a April fool's day joke well at least I don't have to go cry about doge going electric 😅
Bad part is on the street plaid wins 100% 10 out of 10 runs. At the strip, plaid wins 9 out of 10 times. Demon will only hit those times with optimum situation. Plaid runs low 9s every time.
Snooze mobile 🥱
Only one little problem those chargers and challengers weigh as much as a cement truck! 😂
That’s true but so do the new gt500s.
I mean...I would expect that from the charger being it's dodges ultra luxury high performance Sedan. The challenger has no excuse lol
I mean almost every ev does too
Most of today's cars are heavy. Long gone is the era when a sedan could easily weigh under 1.5 tons. Now everything is 2+ tons easily except tiny city buckets on wheels
I don't care How Fast the Lectric Cars are....They are definitely NOT ACCEPTABLE.
Give me a Hemi
It makes me wonder, what dodge's future could be since the EV is slowly but surely taking it over, I don't mind the Hybrid since is both gas engine and electric motor battery. So why not reborn the Viper as a Cobra in either EV or Hybrid style.
Finally something quicker than the plaid
Not really. The plaid is consistent and repeatable and will probably beat the demon 170 9 out of 10 times. I still love the demon 170 with all my heart but if we're realistic the only way you're beating a plaid is maybe with a Chiron or a rimac or a lucid air or a 1500+ hp supercar or maybe a 1000 hp civic. Tesla did make a monster with the plaid.
Nah quickest stripped down stock power level plaid which is what matches the demon 170 as it's only coming with a single seat and requires a parachute, that stripped down plaid ran 8.7@164mph last year. Fastest all stock plaid ran 9.0@152mph with a women driver in summer 2021.
@@thedumbconspirator4956 No matter how fast the Tesla plaid is, it will never look or sound as good as a Challenger
We all know after every other vehicle is off the road, a 7.3 finally runs out of spare casting sand, a cummins hits 2M miles, a Toyota gets rebuilt for the 3rd time, honda announces $100 short blocks, The jeep 4.0L will run the same after a nuclear fall out and oil change after a year.
I wish they would’ve followed through on the copperhead but as a V8. But all we get now is a power wheels challenger that sounds like a dying cat when you step on the button.

We gotta get dodge on board with those carbon neutral synthetic fuels porsche is making!
Exactly! And not just synthetic fuels, we need them on board with alternative fuels, carbon neutral/zero/negative fuels, biofuels, etc as well. so this means ethanol, methanol, hydrogen, ammonia, propane, natural gas, biodiesel, etc. there is a Chinese company that is turning hot pot oil into bio jet fuel, so we can do something similar to produce biofuels. There’s also a company investing into ammonia (unclear if fuel cell or combustion) so there’s hope for that. I know there’s a Canadian guy that converted his truck to ammonia combustion and it’s completely clean but I forgot if he either doesn’t want to share it or if he has tried and got turned away because that’s a huge discovery. Anyways, they gotta hop on this bandwagon, as does the rest of the industry
@@fadedsoul23 Yes.

heh heh heh... EXCELLENT!... excellent!
Thats complete horse shit about Fiat trying to disband SRT once they completed the merger with Chrysler to form FCA. Sergio Marchionne IS the reason Dodge went all the way building insane muscle cars, he also spun SRT off into its own division when he took over as Chryslers CEO before the merger; he believed there was enough of a performance car market in America that SRT could stand as its own division; he backpedaled because customers disliked the Viper being an SRT only product, and not a Dodge. He realized brand identity was a big deal in the US market at that point. He made the last gen Viper a reality when it was all but dead, and had the LX/LC platform in production all the way until 2023, in which he had the Charger and Challenger moving to the Giorgio platform- all new cars for 2024, retaining their V8 power. Marchionne released his last 5-year plan in 2018 months before he died, and under his leadership we still had new full size Chargers and Challengers, with their V8's in the plan coming for 2024. He died, Manley took over, and merged with a company who has a CEO that doesn't understand the American market- much like Daimler not understanding how to build non-luxury cars with the Chrysler merger in 1998. Marchionne's biography is unreal- what he did to make sure Chrysler turned around was nothing short of a miracle- and doing it with the existing limited product is a testament to the job he did. Dodge was a joke in the industry- building cars people mostly thought of as "less than, Cheap alternatives to a Chevy with worse quality". In 5 years they were building Hellcats that completely changed their image overnight, and made them a desirable car to have. His bio is a must read if you are a fan of modern Mopars. You never hear people destroying Hellcats & Scat Packs for awful quality anymore- you have young people falling all over themselves just to get one. When I bought my first Magnum SRT new in 2006, the dealer had almost $10k in incentives on the hood just to sell it- $39k loaded out the door. Everyone told me its a fast car, but a shitbox; and inside, yes they were terrible. It had endless electrical issues, and numerous nagging issues- but that was then. I get triggered when people get the history wrong- SRT was guaranteed under Sergio Marchionnes FCA. Whats happening now is due to Carlos Tavares- Dodge will be gone in ten years, they're never making it as an EV only company. We've not yet begun to see the customer backlash to the proposed banning of ICE engines- but it is coming. People are not going to be forced into an inferior product having to pay a 30 to 40 % premium for then privilege to do so.... People will flat out refuse to buy new cars- and what happens to automakers when people stop buying their products en' masse? Consumers have all the power here- Governments can legislate all they want, but if we refuse to play ball- all those laws are worthless. Our tax dollars & expenditures drive the world.
Spitting facts! If we don’t buy cars, what are they gonna do about it? Mark ur calendar for January 1, 2035, that’s when we should screw up the economy. We can do this in multiple ways. One is what you mentioned, not buying cars. Another is everyone pulling ALL of their money out of the banks simultaneously. We have the power to collapse the economy, we should try using it in 2035 and let’s see what happens
Thank God Ford will continue to make gasoline powered motors. It's a shame that Dodge is leaving its first love and so many people love them and they just disrespected disregarded everybody that bought their vehicles and love them so much
Nice review 👍
This makes me so sad. I don't want the combustion engine to die.😢
The Dodge Boys are the real Brotherhood of Muscle.
Hats Off to Dodge's ICE Cars
They were the best muscle cars in the world
I wish Dodge cared as much about handling as they cared about their horsepower!
The viper was as close as we got to that with the ACR. Tho u r right, we need more track focused models too. If they can dominate both track and drag strip, then I will be truly impressed. They needa bring back the neon srt4 or something small like that (stratus, stealth, etc) and make it an srt4/5/6 version and strap some aero to it along with better suspension and grippier tires. And yes I said srt 5, I’d love to see a dodge built inline 5 turbo (bonus points if it’s hybrid). Not to be cocky but I think I could definitely save Dodge with ideas like these. I mean someone’s gotta fight back somehow
Other than the Viper, I love the direction dodge is headed in. We don't need another European car company...we need muscle!!!
@@thedumbconspirator4956 I mean I know European cars are track focused but what’s stopping Dodge from making a muscle car that handles well. Besides some track cars also do really well on the drag strip. This might not count since it’s a custom build but someone took a purpose built drift car and it whooped some ass on the drag strip. I don’t see why dodge can’t do something similar; light, high horsepower, handles amazing, and good on both track and strip. I hope their future is a good one
@@fadedsoul23 That sounds great to me!
@@fadedsoul23 the thing is power isn't handling. Adding more power won't necessarily make the track time time better, there also other bits that you need to sacrifice for straight line speed to make the car handle better.
Part of the muscle car charm is that it's big and loud and fast. I grew up fawning over muscle cars and I still do with my challenger. Part of the charm is just being big and loud and nasty. When I step into a 60s era pre oil crisis muscle car, handling isn't something you care about...at all. You're just too busy having a blast in a big loud car...this is dodge's roots...and as they transition to electrics, I hope I continue to see big cars with high horsepower winning it all a quarter mile at a time ♥️
Ill glady take a tesla as a daily car for the grocery runs, but to have some good ol' fashioned f u n I'll take out a V8 any day.
No, people with good sense saved combustion engines.
I'm not knocking EVs overall really, they have their place and def have the performance overall when executed well... but they are not "green".
I ordered last November a TRX still waiting but after seeing the new Demon makes me feel like did I order the wrong one
Dude the color on the challenger after the viper in the beginning was fucking gnarly
I personally never will drive an electric vehicle, it's really a shame that this country is moving away from that. How could you ever replace the sound of a internal combustion engine, and the feel of the vehicle with an electric vehicle.😅
Wait, part of the reason we no longer have a viper is because of side curtain airbags?
Electric vehicles are no better for the planet than internal combustion vehicles.
I think this is an ideal idea
So far I seen 5 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demons on the road and I actually have a video of one.
I had a 76 dodge dart sport, it was really fast after I put a 4 barrel on it
Great content. You guys did it.
I can imagine working for dodge next year. Me leaving because it’s Ev.
If an electric car has a Crash that means the fuel cell can be damaged and if its damaged that can cause the car to blow up or catch on fire so they have to write it off, I think the future is Hydrogen because its Faster to use its just like owning a Petrol car takes 2 minutes but with an Electric car you are probably waiting at least 2 hours for a full charge,If you play Music use indicators or turn on your lights you will be draining the Battery even faster and that means some people will realise every time they use their indicators they lose 10 miles every 30 time they indicate so people will stop indicating and that won’t be very safe for people crossing the road, The pollution coming from the Cobalt and other metals they have to dig up out of the ground to make the battery is a lot more than a petrol or diesel Vehicle so the Electric Car isn’t Green its the opposite.
Same thing with a hydrogen car or an ICE car, they also run the risk of catching fire upon a crash. Infact hydrogen is a very volatile gas that is incredibly unstable, reactive and explosive. If you're worried about batteries, hydrogen is far, far worse, just look at the Hindenburg accident from the 1930s, the properties of hydrogen gas consumed an airship the size of three football fields in less than 1 minute...you're basically putting that very same gas into a small car. They're also less efficient than BEVs like ICE engines. Hydrogen and ICE engines can't be refilled at home or in retail centers or parking garages. EV chargers are also dirt cheap to construct compared to a gas pump or hydrogen pump. Playing music and flashing indicators have basically no effect on battery % and will harm your battery as much as it would consume gas or hydrogen. It's also worth noting that producing and refining oil as well as creating hydrogen is many times worse for the environment than lithium battery construction.
That being said I don't think lithium ion batteries specifically is the best choice for the future, the future is most likely battery electric vehicles, but running off a different chemistry like solid state aluminum, or sodium ion batteries that don't use as much rare earth materials as lithium ion. But as of now, BEVs are the best option we have towards energy efficiency and sustainability.
@@thedumbconspirator4956 Im a petrol head and CO2 is the gas of life not the gas of doom the climate is always changing and its not what the narrative is.
@@sambannana9268 CO2 isnt a gas of life or gas of doom. CO2 can be beneficial, but also harmful just like oxygen. We obviously need oxygen to survive, but oxygen gas by itself can be lethal and kill us. Same with CO2, its can be benefical, but also deadly in large amounts.
Climate is always changing, but not as rapidly or as excessively as it was before the industrial revolution. Before the industrial revolution, average global temperatures were very slightly decreasing, now its however it is increasing quite rapidly because of excess greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide which is great at trapping in heat. This leads to melting ice caps and rising sea levels which can and may sink a lot of cities that are generally located close to sea and displacing species and ecosystems. Now this cant be pinned on cars alone (though they account for a chunk of excess ghgs), we also gotta work on minimizing energy demands and switching electricity production to more sustainable forms, I am a massive believer in nuclear power as it is the most efficient way to produce lots of energy, but other renewables should also be implemented as well and ways to store and release energy during on/off peak hours.
@@sambannana9268 Its also worth noting that gas cars don't release CO2 alone, they also release nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide, which can basically kill you very effectively without you even knowing that you're about to die. Its also a big issue in major cities where smog from millions of polluting cars can cause respiratory issues and other health effects, especially for little children.
I dont mind gasoline cars and do own a two V8 cars myself alongside my electric daily car. But regardless, its worth knowing the pros and cons between powertrains and while EVs do have a few cons as well, they are the most economical, efficient and viable way to move forward with personal transportation. Though walking or taking the bus is certainly more sustainable.
@@thedumbconspirator4956 The pollution of EV Materials vs a Catalytic converter the Catalytic converter takes out 90% of Carbon Monoxide and Nitrogen oxides, when it comes to EVs have you done your research about the Slaves that have to mine for us to have Battery’s and when their Mining it causes High amounts of Radiation Levels in the atmosphere. The Slave Labour with a high level of deaths due to land slides and research the tyre industry that exploit the workers in Thailand, use more rubber this will need to be produced because EVS are much heavier and wear tyres down quicker and have you looked at where your electric comes from because solar and wind, will not sustain demand and some charge points use diesel generators at the end of the day I’ve done my research and you will never convince me of EVS. The Petrol car is made for the people.

Interesting and informative 🇯🇲
I am going to UTI for their one year automotive program and I want to work for Dodge and become a hemi expert

Screw electric i want combustion engines
The Beaver" is an interesting name for the 1971 Plymouth Duster imitation, because women ride in it -they always SIT ON THEIR BEAVER!🌈🤣😂
You need to bring back the Viper Supercharged twin turbo V10 putting out around 2500 HP at the rear tires. This would be an American muscle car not like the GM’s Lotus.
Dodge outdone themselves😂😂😂
imagine working for a Chrysler company that just closed a large plant laying off over 1000 employees never to be opened again.
And of course the HellCat video of zr1 smoking it on track
It ain't gone yet!
I went out a got me a '17 ram 1500 with the big 5.7 l hemi... just because I learned the v8s were going extinct.. =/
now that I have a v8 addiction, I'm looking for an old crown victoria police interceptor to play with..
or maybe and early 90s corvette.
Gang green and statutory grape is wildly outta pocket lmaooo Dodge dont play

Chevy has had the 1000hp Yenko Camaro out for awhile and how about Callaway Corvettes? Sledgehammer? but nobody talks about it? Dodge is not the only hard hitter out there! Chevy been doing it for a long time!! Guess chevy has been leading so long that everyone is just beside themselves when ford and dodge finally caught up! Lol
COPO* not yenko. But they do make yenko cars still, the suburban and Tahoe have yenko variants
@@fadedsoul23 i looked at a add for yenko camaro's and it said to go thru your chevy dealer for more information.
@@cnewell1971 they probably do make yenko Camaros but if u mean 1000hp camaro, that’s most likely the COPO 632 camaro
@@cnewell1971 apparently I am misinformed, yenko does make 1000+ horsepower Camaros. But so does copo. My fault man

So where did they save the combustion engine no joke? 👀
Indeed, Porsche actually saved the combustion engines, take a look to the e fuel
Well we gotta see. The thing with e fuels is they don't fix the efficiency of ICE vehicles and as a result you'll still needing a lot more energy to keep and ICE car than an EV, but we have to see how e fuels will fare in the future.
the last of the v8's
American muscle car manufacturers should not sell out to electric. We all know the electrical grids can not sustain all these electric cars. And even if it could. Id rather pump some gas and not wait for a charge. When the power goes out ill still be driving.
Exactly!!! We need cleaner fuels
