Is the Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye a BETTER muscle car than a 2022 GT500?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 дек 2021
- The Challenger Hellcat was a muscle car game changer when Dodge introduced it. This Challenger Hellcat Redeye is meant to battle the 2022 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 & Ford Selby GT500.On the outside you will notice the functional twin inlet scoops on the hood, 20in wheels, and 6-piston Brembos. On inside you will be greeted by leather seating, carbon fiber trim, and Alcantara. Under the hood is a fire breathing 6.2L supercharged Hemi V8 pumping out 797HP & mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Is the Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye a BETTER muscle car than a 2022 GT500?

Disclamer: This is a really long comment
Hey Joe and Lori (and everyone else who read this), how is you'r day (I hope it has been well, but if it's not there is still time left to make the best of the day).
Anyway thier is one thing that I am sure about Joe and that is that he loves the Dodge Challenger with over 28 videos about the Dodge challenger and the Raiti's ride family (I still can't believe that we are 700k, almost 1 million).
But we can't forget that we all subscribe to Raiti's because:
1: The options of (like over 28 videos about the Dodge challenger in 2 years)
2: He post daily (even on holidays)
3: Zonks and Twinkies
4: Funny and sometimes a bit inappropriate but don't means it, for example "so you can rub you'r wood" (that I think was the Jeep grand cherokee L review).
5: Him and Lori are the best couple (on RUclips and ever)
6: He is a more funnier then most automotive You Tubers (I'm talk to you DOUG DEMURO)
And 7 last at all: Joe and Lori loves vehicles
So if you are not subscribed, I really dont know why?
Michael this is one of the most awesome comments I have ever received since starting the channel back in October 2017! Thank you my friend for you unwavering dedication!
@@RaitisRides you shouldn't say thank you to me, but maybe you and lori. I mean she is the best cameraman (or camerawoman) on RUclips and she loves cars.
Plus this family is growing so the Raiti's ride family is pretty big.
@@Michael-vt5sj I totally agree with your comment. Well said by the way.
@@Reaperguy67 thanks you for agreeing for me for the truth and only the truth.
@@Michael-vt5sj spiting facts
These cars should come with a gun and a body guard
"You get 3 extra inches... if only it was THAT easy"! LOL! I almost spit up my drink with that one, Joe! But, seriously folks... I believe when we're making comparisons between the Shelby GT500 and this Challenger Red Eye beast, we're really talking about apples and oranges. If possible, I'd like to own both and you could throw in the Camaro ZL! to boot! They all possess attributes to distinguish one from another. Kudos to you and Lori for another great year of reviews.
Haha
Gt500 wins sorry david
Actually it’s not like comparing apples to oranges. It like comparing apples to apples cause the challenger was made to compete with mustang and camaro, we all know this. I’m not a ford guy but we all know the gt500 stock vs stock is faster, hell I even see manual zl1 beating them but I’ll rather have the challenger or charger any day just for practicality and show tbh
@@jaysofasttv6624 you say so not
@@danielhernandez4625 gt500 top speed only 180 Camaro top speed of 200 great comparison to the hell cat red eye rather have the hell cat red eye then Camaro ZL1 mustang no thanks
Can’t go wrong whether GT500 or Redeye. Both insane supercharged muscle cars
This is so very true!
GT 500 is more of a pony car just like the Shelby gt350..Challenger is the last muscle car.
@@hugostiglitz8465 GT 500 is a true track car. Redeye is a boat that can be quick on a prepped surface in drag racing and is like a fish out of water on a road course.
@@hugostiglitz8465 Well the Challenger belonged in the pony car segment all the way back in 1970 and still does
@@ytsux9259 Agreed, two different vehicles.
The SRT line of cars are just insanity on wheels. They are mind blowing cars to drive and every time I see them I really want one!
I totally agree with you!
Facts I want a charger so bad
Hopefully someone at Stellantis green lights an SRT Caravan before the end of ICE’s
Agreed. I had mine for almost a year now and I still get butterflies.
They are ending v8s! Going to a turbo engine soon :(. So i just ordered one, got a really good discount too. 9.5% off MSRP.
This has to be 'first ever car review which made me feel the energy'! I felt I was driving! I own 2 vehicles after Joe's reviews!! That's what happens when you spread positive energies.
That is so very awesome! Thanks for letting me share my car passion with you!
I got the 707 hellcat Challenger and it still give me butterflies 😆the uncontrollable laughing reactions are 100% real . Drove my friends redeye challenger and hole lee shit! The best sounding supercharger.....EVER. THANK YOU DODGE FOR GOING OUT WITH A BANG! ❤️
That’s so true!
15:07 If happiness was defined by a sound, this would be it.
That car passes everything but a gas station.
You are so awesome David!
@@RaitisRides Just an appreciative fan of your work, Joe and Lori.
I'll take my 2021 GT500. Plenty fast in a straight line and a blast on the twisty bits. This does look sick though!
You are so very right!
I bet that boat won’t be able to handle does curves on a track course even a gt350 would put some work on that boat but it’s still beautiful lol 😂 go Shelby American legacy
@@ernestogeorge4473 boat is the point of these cars though. Heavy, zero aerodynamic, zero traction, just pure uncontrollable power unsophisticated madness.
You do not buy these cars to race on track or efficiency and thus, people should stop saying non sense like the one you are saying.
If efficiency, sophisticated engineering, speed, and agility is your thing, you are looking at a wrong car. Its like comparing a 911 to a jeep in offroad contest and complaining how 911 cant move in a mud.
The pitch black Redeye looks like a monster! Especially with the widebody and dual hood scoops! Great review as always!
I have no regrets buying a Hellcat Red Eye. It's truly a mind blowing experience.
You are a lucky guy Shawn!
I bought one love it . I have a small video if you click name
Out of all the muscle cars, The Hellcat is the most memorable. It turns a lot more heads and sounds the best.
It really is sinister!
💀 GT500 turns heads too they are just super under rated
@@BenBrrown and more rare due to the price compared to a hellcat
Memorable? Hmmm. I think the muscle cars of the late 60s and early 70s are the most "memorable".
The hellcat looks like all the other challengers what are you talking about lol the wide body isn’t even unique to the hellcat.
Yes, this is a MUSCLE car, not a SPORTS car like the Mustang
Oh yeah!
The Mustang was literally the first muscle car.
Anything weighing over 3,500 pounds with a V8 is a muscle car 🤣
@@The-fs5wn Maybe the first Pony car my guy!
@@2easy007 pony car is another word for muscle car.
Now before haters begin hating, I LOVE the GT500. It’s an amazing machine and the performance specs are great. That being said, there is no chance that the GT500 holds a candle to how iconic the Challenger is in the muscle segment. When Dodge brought it back, it was sick. When Dodge created the Hellcat, that was kind of game over. The best part about this whole deal is that Dodge has not stopped and have brought us this epic Redeye. So pumped.
Thanks for sharing your great thoughts on this one!
If u like tuna boats 🚢
Honestly both have their ups and downs it's all personal preference I would not talk down to someone over their vehicle choice. Everyone has different taste. As long as the vehicle makes you happy that's Honestly all that matters.
@@Darkvirgo88xx totally agree that you shouldn’t be shamed for going one way or the other. I just absolutely adore the Challenger in the muscle car segment and wanted to shout its praises! I would never berate someone for buying a GT500 over a Challenger Hellcat because I just love cars and either are incredibly sick.
Isn't the redeye and all the other SRTs gone forever in two years? Doesn't that kind of ruin everything or is there some light at the end of the tunnel that I'm unaware of?
These cars are great, the only problem is that you see them everywhere like Teslas. They don't really have a presence unless you know cars and know what you're looking at.
Joe and Lori nice video. Love the Hellcat, my dream ride! Look forward to more of your reviews . Thanks 🌹❤️👍🏾.
Great video, camera work and analysis, as always. Nothing quite like the sound of a Hemi screaming! Happy New Year!
Thanks Steve! Happy New Year to you!
My parents are looking to get me my first car after driving for a couple years and are potentially getting me a used Challenger SXT, and I’m just purely happy that I’ll be able to get any type of combustion engine challenger before they go electric. And I’m sure anybody who gets this bad ass Hellcat will be extremely happy for a long time coming. Great review!
That’s so awesome!
Please for the love of god, for your sake do not let them talking you into a sxt. You’ll regret it.
Get you a higher trim.
R/T is the MINIMUM!!!! I see SXTs every 30 seconds and many of them have modded exhaust and sound like dying elks. Even if you can't afford a new or a SRT variant a R/T would at least get you a decent sounding car that's easy to mod, insure and avoid kicking yourself repeatedly for buying a rental spec car
You’ll reply getting an sxt trust me
Joe, I've said it before. After all, 28 prior Challenger reviews, my dad was a powertrain engineer on the original 426 Street Hemi. My roots are all MOPAR. And because of your reviews and Lori's outstanding camera work, I am going to order a 2022 Challenger Scat Pack Wide Body with the Shaker Package and premium stitched leather dash. F8 Green with Tan leather seats. I can't wait to take delivery.
Another great review with real car enthusiast passion! I’m sold on the hellcat than getting ZL1 and Gt500! I can imagine talking to Joe for hours about cars!
MPG’s “IF YOU EVEN GIVE A DAM” 😂😂😂😂
I am so glad that I can share the muscle cars and the laughs with you!
@@RaitisRides as am I been following since the end of 2020 I’ve loved your videos since that day!
Joe and Lori, thanks for cranking out these videos and for injecting a little personality!! Now, about the 797 Hellcat Redeye. I’ve been in Hellcats and they are amazing! A feast for the senses and one that will go down in the books as a 9th inning grand slam for the internal combustion engine. But 95K is a ton of scratch. Moving forward, one thing the electrics won’t be able to do is light weight. Straight line performance they will have in spades. But lightweight and manual transmission will be impossible to replicate in an all electric future. So while I would not fault anyone from buying a whole pack of Anything Hellcat, I’m looking at the BRZ, 86, and MX5 and their ilk as affordable collectors in waiting as we go into our fast and heavy electrified future.
Thanks for sharing that great input and perspective
@@RaitisRides thanks, Raitis! For me, it means waiting in line for the new Elantra N. I want my kids to have the chance to row their own in something cheap and cheerful that can also pull family duty when needed. And I want to goof off too.
@@duncanmclellan5479 you are so very welcome!
I don't have long to live, no pity party here, but I have to tell you & Lori the there were days that you guys lifted me up & made me laugh & made me happy, my love for cars started in my dad's garage, he was a certified master mechanic, he worked for the railroad for 40 years, if it's possible to miss people after one passes on, I know I will miss you, thanks Joe for being good to me & for being a friend. tony
What is going on Tony? Are you alright???
@@RaitisRides thank Joe, it's incurable so I'm living one day at a time : )
Unreal review joe & Lori been here since 100k adore your videos and love from Ireland 😎
We really appreciate your great support!
Your reviews are really good and the way you enjoy the ride is sick
Nothing beats the start up on that Super Charge V8🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾
Oh you got that right Derrick!
There’s just something different about the Hellcat Redeye that you don’t get from the GT500 or ZL1. All are great muscle cars but I’ll take the Hellcat Redeye.
Managing to only get low 11’s in the quarter mile with an almost 800hp car probably 😂
You said it perfectly!
This is true!
I eat them all
Great review, Joe! I love how your American muscle car videos are immersed in an automotive history of the model!
My dad just got one of these and took me for a ride. Man is that thing fast.
Oh I bet Michael!
Awesome video and car. I’m from the older generation who grew up with true muscle cars. Sad that generations to come will have limited access to what a real gas powered muscle car looks, sounds and yes, smells like. Nothing like the smell of muscle car exhaust.
Although I would love a Challenger Hellcat Red Eye Widebody, the boss (my wife), loves my 2019 Corvette Grand Sport because of the targa top. Happy wife and a Vette. I won’t complain!
This is so very true!
I love your videos man your my favorite car reviewer
Joe u rock..cause of u I got a corvette c8...camaro lt1...and now ordered a 2022 in smoke show color u lov so much...hopefully arrive in 3 months..rdd from stuart Florida
Great video! But I’m taking my 500 all day, plus on the list for the KR upgrade, can’t wait!
Thank you so much for sharing very much appreciated indeed Joe..
All what I said is this Dodge Challenger has created to Stay even do with a E.V. coming soon I believe the engineers of Dodge will recreate a Fantastic Boost Sound which certainly will be closer or even better than present Dodge Challengers sound engine today…
Drive Always In Beauty and Gratitude…
Great video, just straight power!!!
I like the 5.4 @ 5.8 GT500s more than newer ones but I also like them Challengers 6.2 , either HC or REye .
I’m keeping my 2016 HC and my dad is keeping his 5.8 GT500 until dead do us apart
I got the chance to drive a 2021 challenger (Basemodel) and man let me tell you I went on the highway and hit the gas because who wouldn't? I instantly fell in love! It sucks these cars are phasing out and I don't have the money to get this redeye. Shout out to this guy he makes awesome car reviews and adds humor. Great review!
Thanks for letting me share the laughs and the cars with you Manuel!
@@RaitisRides You don't miss! Keep up the good work💪🏼
Great review as always! Thanks for sharing this muscle car with us! 👍
Your reviews are the best. 👍 🙏
Thanks for taking the time to say that!
If would never use the radio in this car. That SC whine is music to the ears. Great review.
love your videos. much love from South Africa
Thank you for the best support and being part of the Raiti's Rides family!
Love the way the supercharger sounds!!!
Dodge does the whine the best!
I love it my boy Joe keep up the work and I love the video lot real true good 👍 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
THE REAL QUESTION ? HERE??
GET THE HELL CAT REDEYE OR CHALLENGER SPWB FOR $30,000 LESS - 300 HP WITH INITIAL COST THEN MAINTENANCE COSTS AND RELIABILITY BETWEEN BOTH CARS. FORGET THE SHELBY GT-500 OR GT-500 SIGNATURE SERIES WITH 800+ HP.
Hope all is well Joe! Great review as always!
Thanks brother! I hope you had a happy holiday!
@Raiti's Rides I did. Just got back from Florida. Hope you and Lori had a great Christmas!
@@sublimegt500 yes sir! I hope we can see you at the Chicago Auto Show in Fed
@@RaitisRides 🤞🤞
700k wow! Congrats brotha!
I hardly comment on RUclips videos, but Raiti Rides is a true example of dedication to cars (not electric cars)
Thanks for having my back!
@mohammadusman6309--More like a dedication to keeping the cash flowing.
Joe just wanted to wish you and Lorie a very successful 2022 full of health and more subscribers, best regards Felipe Barragan
Great review, keep them coming mopar or no car 💪💪
Love your channel Sir!
Thanks Lee! That really means so much!
I like that you always mention the transport covers on the front lip. It looks idiotic when people leave it. Most have no clue that it’s for shipping
Best car review channel thats for sure, telling everything from A to Z, advantages disadvantages too etc.... I would choose the redeye and one more thing dont forget the dodge ram trx because thats what we gonna use to get to the drag strip and test our beast redeye😛 how cool is that...
Even though it looks outdated, I think Dodge did a great job for this car. I wish they should redesign the Challenger especially the Charger and the Durango...
I love your car reviews! The hellcat is my favorite car, and plan on ordering one soon. Keep the videos coming Raiti’s Rides!!!
Black looks so good on this car
You are so very right about that!
Hello Raiti's from Tampa You right next to Raymond stadium I used to internship there and I love work there but I love the content.one thing I love the most cars specially when it comes to design.
Yeah, it is a bit chubby, but the 6.2 + SC = to the wall fun! It never gets old, but just wait for the Jailbreak 🤤🤤🤤 - forget 797…let’s talk 845 with full warranty.
As always, thanks for bringing this. Totally enjoyed it 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 and Lori, thanks for making it all look great 🎩!
845 Horsepower!
I need a muscle car before they’re gone smh
I totally agree with you!
Had ordered a 2023 Challenger Redeye, order fell through, good thing though because I found a 2023 Super Stock Last Call, got it for MSRP and it was exactly the way I had ordered the Redeye, black on black, no sunroof, carbon fibre accents and everything else black, laguna leather, couldn't be happier.
That is so fantastic! You did very well!
Joe - With all that power, they should have made this car all-wheel drive. They would have had a 0-60 under 3 seconds.
BTW, love that menacing sound the engine makes. 👍👍
that wheel, caliper, and that extra large dish plate is a great combination
I love the hellcats I can’t wait to get one 🤣another great video !!!
I got SRT and absolutely love it!! No hating on GT500 tho as they are just jaw droppers, love them!
I would love both!
great review on this black beast and big shout out to LORI🤟🤟🤟
Raiti....just wanted to say I love all the vids you produce. The showcasing and "Zonks" are truthful and informative. I even love the corniness with the Twinkies and candy comments and the chicks always love the 3 extra inches. Keep doing what your doing Bossman!
This is one of my dream cars. Love mopar
I am so glad that I can bring it to you!
Happy new year Joe
Thank you my friend!
Everytime I'm detailing my challenger and I get to my front splitter I think about lunch and I blame you fot this LOL!
Lori the absolute champ of camera work
Great stuff Joe! Car just has too much power. Can’t get it all to the ground. GT 500 for me if I had to choose between the two.
nice review Joe ...
What a beauty. Love all the analog. HP............oh my
To me the Camaro and Mustang handle too well to really be "muscle" cars. The Challenger is in a class of its own, imho. My problem is I need about $250K to buy a Hellcat, GT500, and ZL1...I want all three!! 🙂
So the corvette isint a muscle car? Corvettes and mustangs have been slaying tracks since the 60’s.
@@Juan-zk3dl naw the Corvette a sports car especially with the C7 and C8’s
They prove they can handle with Imports ! That is why Chevy & Ford designed them that way ! They are not like 1980's Pony cars !
I have one just like this same year and color. Absolutely worth it. Great review as always Joe
You are a lucky guy Jay!
Joe, what did we viewers do to deserve all these Challengers you’re bringing us? I’m having a cargasm over here! This beast is just hot. When you reach perfection like this, there’s no need to change this design-ever.
You guys deserve it & I love bringing the ON THROTTLE to you!
I love my 392 but this right here man what a beast of a car!!!
This is very true Anthony!
Your laugh is the best ... keep them coming !
Thanks for saying that Anthony! You got it man!
Hi Joe, what does feast your eyes mean? Thank you Lori for being the mega Disciple of the camera and thank you Joe for letting us feast our eyes on these cars and V8 engines don't last forever.
The Mopar Joker is back! Your reaction on throttle is the best on your Charger/Challenger reviews. Keep it up! Mopar all the way for me.
You know it!
Such an amazing piece of machinery!
I am so glad that you like this one.
Yo Joe! Love the video bro. It’s so cool to me that a RUclipsr that does car reviews is in the Tampa Bay Area and I love seeing all of these streets that I drive down every single day. Much love and keep up the great work!
It has the home town vibe that I love to bring!
@813GC--Much love and keep up the great work ??
Give me a break.
@@JIA1327 Is their a problem
The overcast compliments the Redeye.
You are so right about that!
3:00 - Dodge should have made this yellow tape "self-removable" at >150mph... And people would remove it to show they have driven that fast! ;)
If I had over 100k Canadian, I would definitely get one of these bad boys! That supercharger whine is amazing!
Within the drag racing and looks department the redeye has the gt500 by the balls. Truly the only retro styled muscle left all the others have been modernized.
Awesome review 👍
I can see you as a McLaren person.

Glad you didn’t crash it and great video btw.
“And MPG’s, if you even give a damn 😃 you’re watching the wrong review”👁👄👁

Heck yeah!
On Throttle !!! 💪🏽🇺🇸 AMERICAN MUSCLE
You know it!
That supercharger whine is worth every penny in the hellcat over the gt500 or zl1 or corvette
Love how Joe turns into a Tasmanian Devil when he floors hit. 😄😄
Yeahhh!! Love that whine 🤤🔥🔥 amazing car!
Hi Raiti, that sound at 16:09, does normal hellcat have that sound? or only redeye? and what about scat pack ?
Every time I see you have a Challenger or Charger I see the video just for your on throttle reaction! I really envy you!
I’d take one in a heartbeat. Hellcats are my top dream cars.
same bro
One of the dream muscle cars to be in!
Dream big for sure!
I like the rear & the exhaust. Make mine a Jail Break edition please.
i like this guy talking, he can make everything perfect
