@Yeeeeeeeehawcowboy I've had this car in a manual and in an auto, and I'll have to agree with Tim on this one; the auto in this car is the one to get. The auto puts the power down much better and in sport and track mode it bangs the shifts like crazy (will chirp the tires 1st going to 2nd and 2nd going to 3rd). The manual the clutch is stiff and the gears are long, you can do 60mph in 1st gear. With the manual you will definitely get a workout if this is your daily. Don't get stuck in traffic, it's pure hell.
LMAO @ "I don't care how close of a friend it is he is not really your friend do not let your friend anywhere near this car" You gotta love Jay Leno's attitude.
I love how Jay gave him a hard time about the horsepower modes. Never let anyone else drive it and real car guys change their own oil. I feel the same way
I've never seen a guest handle Jay so well. And yes, I mean a guest handling Jay and not the other way around. This guy seemed so natural and clear, I think he could sell me anything he wanted.
Still remember when I picked up my 2015 Hellcat. Got it in April of this year (2021) with 12k miles. Has 19k now. Said new they were $60k and I paid $48k. Feel like i got a deal. MAN I LOVE THIS CAR! So fun to drive!!
Wow!! One of the best reincarnations of an old school muscle cars. And consequentially one of the best cars on the market today! Absolutely brilliant!!
Jay has given us a lot of good advice over the years and I'm not kidding one iota when I say the absolute Best advice he's given...so far... is ' Never give a valet your car ' . Heed that, Kid's .
Oh, I think he loved it. Maybe not in the moment, but the attention this video is going to bring to the car and to the brand is undoubtedly worth a lot more than a set of tires. He was trying to sell the car the whole time.
+Huflung Dung I don't see that. The only thing I notice that can make you think a Camaro looks like the new mustang or vice versa is the hood, the side mirrors, and the rear wheel section of the car. The new mustang looks so much better than the previous gen design. It makes all the previous gens before it look so outdated. I couldnt disagree with you more that it's unattractive. It's a fine looking car.
Park the old ones against the modern ones and they look huge, and they are all fat at near 2 tonne. I call them plastic Challengers, Camaros or Mustangs. They are good cars and quite fast etc. But will never have the soul of those pre 71 cars
For a president/CEO, this guy really knows his stuff. He's not just spouting off basic marketing material, he knows specifics about the engine and chassis. Not mad at that.
Hi Mr. Leno, Thanks for sharing the Hellcat experience! I watched this hellcat video about a few month ago. Last week I'd finally bought one. My first American muscle car. Most time I preferred German cars. But this is really my favorite now. Comfortable and effortless power. What a great American sport sedan!! Best--
Agreed, German designed transmission fyi bought by Chrysler only reason I justified getting a 2016 , it benefits everything and certainly more reliable longterm.
The older Challenger is the good-looking one. No offense to anyone but I have always thought these were the greatest vehicle design. Loved the original design of Challengers and 63 Stingrays.
But my heart keeps calling me backwards As I get on the 707 Ridin' high, I got tears in my eyes You know you got to go through hell before you get to heaven
let me tell you the problem with this car. If you offered me for 60,000 dollars cash or a Hellcat, I'd take the money 100 times out 10. Get the accounts back in and make a car worth paying for.
Jaikar Chatha well after the demon was announced their prices started dropping but yeah they weren't much over 65k when i wrote that, I live in New Zealand where they go for 150k tho :/
+MWIIGamer all the distinct nationalities of Europe originated from some people group before them also, so I don't know what your point is. I like value and I think European cars are way overpriced and in that regard way over valued. Jay seems to feel the way and is patriotic.
+T. Scott Why do you remain in this country if its so crappy and an embarrassment? Is it because it provides a lot of benefits and offers the greatest standard of living to the vast majority of its citizens? If it bothers you so much to live among these idiot celebrities, leave the country and talk crap about America from there. There is no other country id rather live in right now than American even with all its issues. Stop worrying about what other people internationally think of you and do something to better the people and situation around you. If we wanted to be haters we could find things to hate about outside the US. The rest of the world is as screwed up or worse, we have it pretty good here. The liberals are the ones who really are the embarrassment. The vast majority, if not all, of these idiot celebrity's are liberal and explains their idiocy.
+God Save America I only have time to say few things first, then Ill come back and reply to all your ranting. I'm ethnically Taiwanese, born in Taiwan, immigrated here. America is in its infancy compared to the old world and that old world history is not all roses and daisies. You're obviously drinking that propaganda cool aid. The fact you can't just uproot yourself and settle somewhere else says a lot about those countries, they don't like gringos. Illegals with much less than what you have, can come here and make a life and own sh*t and have families. Are you a hippie liberal wanting handouts from the govt and not welling to put in any effort? Yes a lot of native born people here are lazy and allow immigrants who don't squander there chances to make something of themselves show them off. But don't miss the fact that They're doing it here and not where they immigrated from. America is the greatest country in the world presently. Ill say more later.
+T. Scott you're kind of all over the place. I'm curious what would make America great in your eyes? So far all Im reading from you is that you hate people who do stupid things, so what is it that living here causes people to behave this way and what do you propose happens to change it? In govt, economics, etc? Don't use general answers like better healthcare, better relations between the police and minority groups. The problems you like to point out are on the surface, the end results. What are the root causes, even causes that lie deeper. All I'm getting from you is that you're discontented, angry, resentful, and envious.
The auto is factually faster. So if your going to buy one for speed dont buy the manual and the clutch is heavy as hell but wears out faster then this thing does the quarter mile...lol
Tori Jenna I drove the manual. The clutch is just fine, it's a twin disk that should last 75k miles. Clutch replacement costs $500 and 3hrs labor, easy to do in the driveway. When the auto fries (and it will burn up), you're looking at at least $3k. The manual is more fun to drive, you have more control over that 700hp.
Fred Garvin the auto is a much better machine than the Manuel. There is no reason that there would be a problem with the automatic. I have owned the automatic and after that I wouldn't own a Manuel. And I'm all for a manual transmission. Just not in the hellcat.
Fred your full of it. I own one. You wish you owned one. I have driven manuals my whole life. After doing the research on the manual I opted for an automatic. Why? its slower 1/2 second slower if you know how to race with a clutch, if you don't could be almost a second or 1 1/2 seconds slower. Stiff clutch (too stiff for the crappy clutch they put in these cars) wears down in 10k miles. Wont last 75k unless you drive this car like a girl. You cant change this clutch in the driveway. So your looking at 1k out of pocket every 10k miles. Your choice, but honestly its the worst of both worlds, horrible daily driver ( try pushing that clutch in 100 times in traffic) ( worse gas mileage also. Then you race it and you lose to the A8. So its a worse daily driver and worse racer.....but if having fun shifting is all that maters go buy corvette 2008 corvette for 30k it will be as fast as your manual hellcat and cost you 30k less...
I own a Hellcat, with a manual trans. I don't drag race, I could care less about that. I have never owned a manual trans, and I wasn't going to start now. The clutch is a dual disk design, it's the same clutch I use in one of my other cars and it's dead nuts reliable. I own several other late model muscle cars, they all have 6 spd and 7spd trans, and they are reliable and more engaging to drive.
the difference between now and then is the biggest and baddest muscle car could be bought by a highschool kid, count the number of kids that own these today and you'll find very few. Why? well because they are out of the range price wise. Base price of a challenger with a hemi was what? like 4500 bucks. Kids could work their tails off a few summers with a part time job and have one in their senior year, now they can't. They try to convince us that we are less poor than we used to be but that's not the case as far as I can tell. Whats the base price of these? oh 60k about 20k over inflation even so who's going to buy one? suits that are looking for a second childhood. No this isn't the rebirth of the muscle car era because we are not the same country we used to be.
pdxeddie1111 Good point. Today's muscle cars are not meant for high school and college kids anymore. They are priced way out of their range. The muscle cars are back, but they are back for working professionals and ect. It's a shame really, but a lot has to do with inflation and the amount of tech in the cars (nothing is basic anymore in them). Remember back even in the 80's when a high school or college kid could save up and get a Fox Body 5.0L Mustang for little of nothing. I remember that's all I saw driving those things back then were kids; now the average age of 5.0 drivers is probably 30. The cars list for about 40K.
markurbancowboy well I doubt these will be worth the same in forty or fifty years, part of being a collectable is not understanding something was going to be collectable or not caring that it would be. Just stamp the word collectable on it and I'm sure it'll be worth a mint someday.
pdxeddie1111 If you look at it, the muscle cars we have today, trump the ones that were in the past. Today's muscle puts out 300, 400, 500 and 600hp to the wheels with just as much torque! The cars in the past were doing good to get 300 at the motor. We won't even go into the stopping and turning. I agree with you about the rawness of them though. Today's cars just don't have that.
pdxeddie1111 I think today's muscle cars will be collectable even though we are aware of them now. This second emergence of the muscle car will be gone soon and will likely never come again; we are going to more fuel efficient green cars. People who want one, better get them now.
My scat pack challenger is 4240 lbs and it handles so great. The car feels tight and strong. When it's in sport mode the breakes and steering get even better.
It is mind blowing what the engineers have put into this amazing Challenger Hellcat! Jay and Tim's smiles says it all. I have owned many hot rods in my day and collected many tickets....its hard to keep your foot out of it when the car wants to get up and go! Great show! Thanks for sharing Jay!
I'm not a fan of all the corporate suits coming onto the show, but I love Tim. I think he's a very normal guy that sells the car honestly and he loves the car as much as his customers do
People need to stop criticizing it (too heavy, should be faster, guzzles gas, can't handle, etc.) and appreciate it for what it is: a big badass muscle car. This is coming from an MX-5 driver, by the way.
The Challenger would be fun once in a while, but for everyday driving, I'd rather have an NC MX-5, which weighs about 1900 lbs less than this bloated boat. More fun in the twisties, easy to park, easy to see out of, better gas mileage, better for the environment and you don't need a mullet.
yakadee1 I have a 2000 Miata SE right now. Coil-overs, intake, exhaust, summer tires. It's tons of fun, trust me. But comparing it to the Hellcat is retarded. This is an amazing car in it's own right, and if I could have two cars (one of them being a lightweight sports car) the Hellcat may very well be the second car.
I have a 14 SRT chally and it is my daily. Thing is a blast to drive.. You could easily take it across country. Yes its big but thats what makes it ride so nice compared to a lighter car.
khyoon14 The dodge guy was the same guy that let Jay do a 180 on a fiat These cars aren't even his, why would he care? I think you guys are making that up in your minds.
The cops need a 4 door since there are no more crown victorias or chevrolet impalas. I agree. The charger Hellcat may be fast but only the Challenger has the spirit of the 1970s Challengers
+Jose Sustaita Jose, you have to realize that for a LONG time now, auto body styles are beyond limited in availability. There's one assembly line for nearly any one car now, overwhelmingly 4 door. The Charger was ruined for a lot of guys as a 4 door, but not ruined for many, many more. It's been a smashing success due to it's still largely sporty style and power, but with the practicality of a 4 door. Dodge wisely addressed the 4 door "issue" 2 years ago by giving it a Challenger 'flavor' and look yet keeping it the successful (4 door) car it's been for years now. I'm a 2 door car guy myself, and know where you're coming from. Unfortunately, this is the way it's been for decades now, and will be from here on out. It's economics, the market, cars basically being transportation appliances now and more. It's a bummer.
+Stephen Conway Stephen I knew there weren't Crown Victoria's any more, but Chevy does make an Impala, newly redesigned last year. Do you know why law enforcement doesn't like the Impala?
OK I have had it with the hate comments about my next new car! 1st off The Nissan GTR is a super car just like the Stingray C7 Z06 they are designed for the track and street the Z06 is only a couple of tenths faster through the 1/4 mile and has 2 less seats than the Hellcat, they are designed to go around a track the Hellcat is a MUSCLE CAR, READ PONY CAR designed for a family man to carry his family around the country while being able to have a lot of fun smoking the tires. This car does corner and is only .4 seconds slower than a Camero ZL1 in the figure 8 and pulls .94g vs .99g for the ZL1 and the ZL1 weighs less, so stop it! Stop comparing super GTR and Z06 and cars like it to a MUSCLE cars cause you look desprate. Like it so much go buy one have fun post the video of you getting smoked cause you can't drive and your excuse that the sun was in your eyes at the drag strip. This car has over 700 HP in order to get over 700 HP you need to spend over $300,000 dollars period, think Lamborghini Aventador LP704, McLaren P1, Ferrari La Ferrari, Ferrari F12 So stop it, just stop it cause every time you bring up cars in this range to say that they have more HP and weigh less the dumber you sound. If you don't like HIGH HORSE POWER PONY CARS WHY ARE YOU HERE? No one cares that your crap box 1988 CRX Honda with a crate engine in it that has to be dragged to the drag strip, has no AC, stereo or sound deading of any kid whatsoever and weighs as much as a flea's fart, and is relevant at the drag strip, but no where else is what you prefer over this monster or else we would be commenting on your channel about how fast it is. You like it I love it but I also love this car, and want to read comments about people who actually like this car as well! The Shelby GT1000 is not a production car, it does not roll off of Ford's production line! How do I know? because the Shelby warehouse is less than 10 minutes from my house! Got cash and a Ford GT 500 they will set you right up with as much HP as you got cash, it's a tuner car with aftermarket upgrades! So stop it, and the GT500 is out of production anyhow and it only had 662HP IT'S NOT UP FOR DISCUSSION, did I want one yes can I get one new NO! Do I want a Hellcat? YES can I buy one new YES! Now I must say this I love to debate cars as much as the next guy, but you guys are really laying on the hate thick! Now if Dodge had said that this was a SUPER CAR or even a SPORTS CAR you might have a point, but this is A MUSCLE CAR and the cars they built back then did not have to have airbags, AC anti-lock brakes and all of the things that these cars have to have built into them today just to be able to be sold, so ya the car is heavy but so was the original Challenger back in the day. If you are concerned with the environment do what I did and build your own EV if you don't like what's out on the market, and sell that and see how hard it is to build a bruiser that can be driven everyday without breaking down every 5 minutes. This is a outstanding feat of engineering to build a production car with 707 HP and slap a warranty on it. Bravo Dodge! My hat is off to you and I will be at the dealer to buy one of your nuclear powered Hellcat Tank busters, as soon as they become available in my area. Rant ends.
***** those are all packages offered by Shelby not production cars. You have to first purchase a GT500 then request the 35k+ package and for just under 100k you can have a SuperSnake
Just acquired a 2012 SRT8. Read most of the manual and still feel like I know squat about my challenger. Was at the store and bought the “JLG car care bucket”. I’m happy to say that once open it smells somewhere between bubble gum and candy. A whole bunch of treats.
wow, the insane thing about this car (there are many but this one in particular), is the fact that it's a 700 plus horsepower car that costs about 60 grand, a little over 60 grand if you want it fully loaded. It's crazy because not too too long ago, the Enzo Ferrari came out with 650, 660 horsepower, and was doing quarter miles in a bout 11 seconds. That car cost about 900 grand when it came out, today they can go for significantly over 1 million. I understand that's a collectable, considering they only made, I believe about 350, 400 of them. But even other non-limited edition cars like the Lamborghini Murcielago, whom can still go for about 250 grand today give or take, had about 590 horsepower. Hell even comparing it with other American Muscle cars like the Corvette Z06 with 505 horsepower went for 72 grand, the 510 horsepower Viper SRT-10 went for 80 grand, and the Ford GT with 550 horsepower, one of the greatest American cars ever build, went for about 160 grand. The Corvette ZR-1 which has about 635 horsepower goes for about 110 grand. So this car is just incredible on quite a few levels. Way to go, Dodge!!
Aventador coupe costs $400,000 and Aventador roadster is closer to $450,000 base price. So yes the horsepower is impressive.... but let's not get into this...
+Simon Garcia Nismo GTR is not meant for drag racing, as you can tell by the nurburgring lap time it set.....an alpha gtr would destroy it in a drag race anyways..
+Canniballistix yes I know, but people seem to believe that this was ment to be a race car and when it wins people just say "throw in some turns and its done"
The Barracuda was never a muscle car. Equip'ed with a slant 6, OR in Gran Coupe styling, with a 383-2 bbl....neither would get out of its own way. The "CUDA was the muscle version of the Barracuda.......
I watched the last police Charger video and then came back to this one. Really nice to see him and Tim interact over the years. As a Charger owner this really will be thought of the last golden age of V8 American Muscle. It's a shame that they've lost such a great CEO like Tim. No matter what the brand does, we've got some fantastic cars and times with them. You guys did a fantastic job!
@metaljesusrocks I never get tired of seeing your comments on other videos im interested in considering I have been flowing yours and the allgengamers since ther literal beginning.
Jay like you I needed the Manual car and as a result of this video I bought a car. As a vet I'm glad you offered up this one. Class act and I love mine. Invite me to see your cars when you have time.
I think it should have a system to shut off half the cylinders for when you don't want the full power, because though the power is great fun, I'd love to be able to flick a switch and boost the mileage to go on on trips because 20mpg isn't really good enough in my opinion.
Alfred Munkenbeck If I'm not mistaken, I don't believe that would work with the supercharger since it's always making boost. Atleast you can change keys and ride in "stealth" mode lol
Jason C Maybe a way of inventing a shut off system for the entire supercharger would work, so you have a naturally aspirated engine, but I just think something needs to be done about the mileage, but definitely not an automatic system, just a switch on the dashboard so it doesn't interfere at times you wish it wouldn't.
Alfred Munkenbeck I don't think fuel mileage is a major concern for someone buying a car with 700 ponies under their right foot, having 20 is a big step.
I noticed Jay Leno constantly kept calling it a sedan. Not too sure why, but got to love the Hellcat! I loved it so much, finally got one earlier this year.
A set of tires, wheels and suspension and the the old Hemi Challenger and it would surprise ya... I saw the Hemi Challengers run in the 9 second range in 1970
Yup, I'ld have to say that is an excellent illustration of why you NEVER give your sports car to a valet to park. Pretty much sums it up, cause as a valet, that's what I would do. lol
Charlie A I'll take that 8 speed auto any day. Gives me two hands on the wheel for cranking hard back to back S turns in the Green Mountain State.. That stick might be fine for flyin down a straight flat vast of emptiness . But not when ya hit the highground baby.... There ain't nothing like flying down and old country dirt road in the back hills of the north country.
favorite video! jay happy as hell on the inside but keeping that same composure as he burned rubber with the CEO/ Jay opening the hood "ohhh, ahhhh" 6:34
$59,995. US dollars 707HP!!!!! It's Simply THE BEST!!!!! ;o) Nothing is even close to the Hellcat!!!!! MOPAR FREAKIN ROCKS!!!!!!!!! You got to love those Italian Americans!!!!!! :o) ;o)
I hate how he keeps saying that the lamborghini aventador doesn't have as much horsepower, yet It will annihilate it in a race, quality, and just about everything else.
actually jay's mistake was acting like it was a sports car, it's not. It's a muscle car, a sedan. It's meant for the family to go riding in and give dad a toy on the weekends.
Bo Fa'aita uh yes it is. The back is equal to or over 33 cubic ft. The door trick no longer applies (hence two door sedans and four door coupes) The "official" measurement involves the magic number 33.
It has great performance, it can be daily driven and track driven with no problem, holds 4 passengers comfortably, it's reliable, great for car shows, great for cruising, and it has all the creature comforts of a regular car to make it an easy drive. It's an awesome car but I can spare myself more than 50k and buy a mid 2000's BMW m3 e46 and it will do all the things I just listed. Sorry but I'll pass.
I've been a GM guy my whole life but with what Dodge is doing nowadays I gotta say..I'm a fan,it's even made me more appreciative of older Dodge and Plymouth cars.
I rented one of these Challengers while on vacation last year. Two days after we returned home, I bought one.
You're lucky they are available where you live.

Jay is a real car guy. They tried to sell him on the 8 Speed Auto and he was like where's the stick at? Nothing beats driving a manual.
My thoughts exactly. Even if the auto did shift faster, it doesn’t matter, you feel like you become a part of the car when you are driving stick
@Yeeeeeeeehawcowboy
I've had this car in a manual and in an auto, and I'll have to agree with Tim on this one; the auto in this car is the one to get. The auto puts the power down much better and in sport and track mode it bangs the shifts like crazy (will chirp the tires 1st going to 2nd and 2nd going to 3rd). The manual the clutch is stiff and the gears are long, you can do 60mph in 1st gear. With the manual you will definitely get a workout if this is your daily.

I don't think he cared one bit. He's not paying and he sold a car in the process.
That $600 advertisement would have created millions worth of sales. A smart CEO sees the bigger picture..
Oh, I think he loved it. Maybe not in the moment, but the attention this video is going to bring to the car and to the brand is undoubtedly worth a lot more than a set of tires. He was trying to sell the car the whole time.
my favorite thing about the challenger is how much it still looks like the old one the other cars don't have that
You can say that about the Camaro but not the mustang pal
+God Save America
The Mustangs started the retro thing, but they are slowly losing it.
+markurbancowboy The new Mustang looks like a fucking new Camaro!! Such a disappointment
+Huflung Dung I don't see that. The only thing I notice that can make you think a Camaro looks like the new mustang or vice versa is the hood, the side mirrors, and the rear wheel section of the car. The new mustang looks so much better than the previous gen design. It makes all the previous gens before it look so outdated. I couldnt disagree with you more that it's unattractive. It's a fine looking car.
Park the old ones against the modern ones and they look huge, and they are all fat at near 2 tonne. I call them plastic Challengers, Camaros or Mustangs.
They are good cars and quite fast etc. But will never have the soul of those pre 71 cars
For a president/CEO, this guy really knows his stuff. He's not just spouting off basic marketing material, he knows specifics about the engine and chassis. Not mad at that.
Can’t believe it’s 10 years old now 😮
Hi Mr. Leno, Thanks for sharing the Hellcat experience! I watched this hellcat video about a few month ago. Last week I'd finally bought one. My first American muscle car. Most time I preferred German cars. But this is really my favorite now. Comfortable and effortless power. What a great American sport sedan!! Best--
Agreed, German designed transmission fyi bought by Chrysler only reason I justified getting a 2016 , it benefits everything and certainly more reliable longterm.

jay was exactly right about the valet thing. just saw a dash cam video proving it
The guy that runs or ran Dodge really knows his stuff - very impressive 👍
1:56 I really love the expression on Leno's face. What a genius.
please dodge never alter the size of dodge
let it be big
or its muscle look will go away
$60,000 car that does 199mph crazy! I remember 20 years ago that was a big deal for super cars to hit 200
204- charger hellcat
like 1 mph slower- challenger hellcat
let me tell you the problem with this car. If you offered me for 60,000 dollars cash or a Hellcat, I'd take the money 100 times out 10. Get the accounts back in and make a car worth paying for.
Justin Bailey Dealer mark up makes these worth much more than 60k bud
not much bud. $64,095 for one I speced out at home printed and brought it to the dealer ship, same on $68,475
Jaikar Chatha well after the demon was announced their prices started dropping but yeah they weren't much over 65k when i wrote that, I live in New Zealand where they go for 150k tho :/
It's time to sell the house and the grandkids! I NEED that car! Thanks Jay Leno for bringing us the best that MOPAR has to offer.
You can burn tires up in 300hp as well, especially in a manual, even in a 4400 lb car.
I like Jay he loves it when America can stick it to the Europeans in anything. A true patriot.
+God Save America huh the irony that europeans discovered and made america
+MWIIGamer all the distinct nationalities of Europe originated from some people group before them also, so I don't know what your point is. I like value and I think European cars are way overpriced and in that regard way over valued. Jay seems to feel the way and is patriotic.
+T. Scott Why do you remain in this country if its so crappy and an embarrassment? Is it because it provides a lot of benefits and offers the greatest standard of living to the vast majority of its citizens? If it bothers you so much to live among these idiot celebrities, leave the country and talk crap about America from there. There is no other country id rather live in right now than American even with all its issues. Stop worrying about what other people internationally think of you and do something to better the people and situation around you. If we wanted to be haters we could find things to hate about outside the US. The rest of the world is as screwed up or worse, we have it pretty good here. The liberals are the ones who really are the embarrassment. The vast majority, if not all, of these idiot celebrity's are liberal and explains their idiocy.
+God Save America I only have time to say few things first, then Ill come back and reply to all your ranting. I'm ethnically Taiwanese, born in Taiwan, immigrated here. America is in its infancy compared to the old world and that old world history is not all roses and daisies. You're obviously drinking that propaganda cool aid. The fact you can't just uproot yourself and settle somewhere else says a lot about those countries, they don't like gringos. Illegals with much less than what you have, can come here and make a life and own sh*t and have families. Are you a hippie liberal wanting handouts from the govt and not welling to put in any effort? Yes a lot of native born people here are lazy and allow immigrants who don't squander there chances to make something of themselves show them off. But don't miss the fact that They're doing it here and not where they immigrated from. America is the greatest country in the world presently. Ill say more later.
+T. Scott you're kind of all over the place. I'm curious what would make America great in your eyes? So far all Im reading from you is that you hate people who do stupid things, so what is it that living here causes people to behave this way and what do you propose happens to change it? In govt, economics, etc? Don't use general answers like better healthcare, better relations between the police and minority groups. The problems you like to point out are on the surface, the end results. What are the root causes, even causes that lie deeper. All I'm getting from you is that you're discontented, angry, resentful, and envious.
A great in-depth tour of one of the coolest cars of this year; THANKS JAY!
***** Much appreciated, thank you!
There's no way they'd sell me one with an auto. 700hp with a stick sounds like fun.
The auto is factually faster. So if your going to buy one for speed dont buy the manual and the clutch is heavy as hell but wears out faster then this thing does the quarter mile...lol
Tori Jenna I drove the manual. The clutch is just fine, it's a twin disk that should last 75k miles. Clutch replacement costs $500 and 3hrs labor, easy to do in the driveway. When the auto fries (and it will burn up), you're looking at at least $3k. The manual is more fun to drive, you have more control over that 700hp.
Fred Garvin the auto is a much better machine than the Manuel. There is no reason that there would be a problem with the automatic. I have owned the automatic and after that I wouldn't own a Manuel. And I'm all for a manual transmission. Just not in the hellcat.
Fred your full of it. I own one. You wish you owned one. I have driven manuals my whole life. After doing the research on the manual I opted for an automatic. Why? its slower 1/2 second slower if you know how to race with a clutch, if you don't could be almost a second or 1 1/2 seconds slower. Stiff clutch (too stiff for the crappy clutch they put in these cars) wears down in 10k miles. Wont last 75k unless you drive this car like a girl. You cant change this clutch in the driveway. So your looking at 1k out of pocket every 10k miles. Your choice, but honestly its the worst of both worlds, horrible daily driver ( try pushing that clutch in 100 times in traffic) ( worse gas mileage also. Then you race it and you lose to the A8. So its a worse daily driver and worse racer.....but if having fun shifting is all that maters go buy corvette 2008 corvette for 30k it will be as fast as your manual hellcat and cost you 30k less...
I own a Hellcat, with a manual trans. I don't drag race, I could care less about that. I have never owned a manual trans, and I wasn't going to start now. The clutch is a dual disk design, it's the same clutch I use in one of my other cars and it's dead nuts reliable. I own several other late model muscle cars, they all have 6 spd and 7spd trans, and they are reliable and more engaging to drive.
the difference between now and then is the biggest and baddest muscle car could be bought by a highschool kid, count the number of kids that own these today and you'll find very few. Why? well because they are out of the range price wise. Base price of a challenger with a hemi was what? like 4500 bucks. Kids could work their tails off a few summers with a part time job and have one in their senior year, now they can't. They try to convince us that we are less poor than we used to be but that's not the case as far as I can tell. Whats the base price of these? oh 60k about 20k over inflation even so who's going to buy one? suits that are looking for a second childhood. No this isn't the rebirth of the muscle car era because we are not the same country we used to be.
pdxeddie1111
Good point. Today's muscle cars are not meant for high school and college kids anymore. They are priced way out of their range. The muscle cars are back, but they are back for working professionals and ect. It's a shame really, but a lot has to do with inflation and the amount of tech in the cars (nothing is basic anymore in them). Remember back even in the 80's when a high school or college kid could save up and get a Fox Body 5.0L Mustang for little of nothing. I remember that's all I saw driving those things back then were kids; now the average age of 5.0 drivers is probably 30. The cars list for about 40K.
markurbancowboy well I doubt these will be worth the same in forty or fifty years, part of being a collectable is not understanding something was going to be collectable or not caring that it would be. Just stamp the word collectable on it and I'm sure it'll be worth a mint someday.
ps what the cars lacked in tech then more than made up for it in raw awesomeness
pdxeddie1111
If you look at it, the muscle cars we have today, trump the ones that were in the past. Today's muscle puts out 300, 400, 500 and 600hp to the wheels with just as much torque! The cars in the past were doing good to get 300 at the motor. We won't even go into the stopping and turning. I agree with you about the rawness of them though. Today's cars just don't have that.
pdxeddie1111
I think today's muscle cars will be collectable even though we are aware of them now. This second emergence of the muscle car will be gone soon and will likely never come again; we are going to more fuel efficient green cars. People who want one, better get them now.
Jay, don't you know porn is not allowed in youtube?
:D agree :D
Always adored jay's sense of humor his jokes are amazing & borderline insulting LMAO, sure do miss him tonight show.
My scat pack challenger is 4240 lbs and it handles so great. The car feels tight and strong. When it's in sport mode the breakes and steering get even better.
Jay can afford to trash $300 apiece tires.
Jay can afford to trash $30,000 a piece tires. He's a multimillionaire.
Dodge can’t.
So
Yeah with a net worth of $400 million $300 a tire is nothing for him.
$600 ? That's loose change for him...
It is mind blowing what the engineers have put into this amazing Challenger Hellcat! Jay and Tim's smiles says it all. I have owned many hot rods in my day and collected many tickets....its hard to keep your foot out of it when the car wants to get up and go! Great show! Thanks for sharing Jay!
I would literally drag my balls through a mile of broken glass to own one of these.
Save your money u can get one for fifty grand
Definitely. .. an Obama Care replacement Balls would've costs at least 60k.. you'll save 10k for tires. .
Collins Karanja that would make a great t-shirt
😂😂😂😂😂 dude
Yup!!!
That e brake u turn was solid, jay can actually drive. 👌🏽
I'm not a fan of all the corporate suits coming onto the show, but I love Tim. I think he's a very normal guy that sells the car honestly and he loves the car as much as his customers do
***** good for him
Bradley Greenwood agreed
Fear no evil ; abhor that which is evil. See, Psalm 23:4, kjv.
but yet your avatar looks gay!! go figure
@Ryan Nah I was just being sarcastic, I think if you worry about people being homosexual you should probably get a life.
If that's an original '70, 426 Challenger, and knowing Leno, it is, that's some serious dollar machine
the serial number was 04 (number 4 hemi) so yeah real serious money ;
People need to stop criticizing it (too heavy, should be faster, guzzles gas, can't handle, etc.) and appreciate it for what it is: a big badass muscle car. This is coming from an MX-5 driver, by the way.
I actually put Miata first but then remembered that it's known as MX-5 in most of the rest of the world.
The Challenger would be fun once in a while, but for everyday driving, I'd rather have an NC MX-5, which weighs about 1900 lbs less than this bloated boat. More fun in the twisties, easy to park, easy to see out of, better gas mileage, better for the environment and you don't need a mullet.
yakadee1 I have a 2000 Miata SE right now. Coil-overs, intake, exhaust, summer tires. It's tons of fun, trust me. But comparing it to the Hellcat is retarded. This is an amazing car in it's own right, and if I could have two cars (one of them being a lightweight sports car) the Hellcat may very well be the second car.
I have a 14 SRT chally and it is my daily. Thing is a blast to drive.. You could easily take it across country. Yes its big but thats what makes it ride so nice compared to a lighter car.
For years I never cared for Leno,then Lenos garage came out and he is one of my favorite shows
The dodge guy was pissed after that burnout hahaha
I dont think so, he is the boss of dodge and its for advertisment ;)
DiGrigs1 That's what he gets for bringing an automatic..
khyoon14 The dodge guy was the same guy that let Jay do a 180 on a fiat
These cars aren't even his, why would he care? I think you guys are making that up in your minds.
no,he actually wasn't angry in any way at all and wouldn't take a car to Leno not expecting him to do a burnout or drive a car fast.
it's probably his personal car 😂
This gotten one sweet ride. The red is red hot. I'll gave car 5 stars
i am so glad they didnt decide to make the challenger a four door, because they ruined the charger with that
+Jose Sustaita And then all the cops just had to have it (Chargers)
The cops need a 4 door since there are no more crown victorias or chevrolet impalas. I agree. The charger Hellcat may be fast but only the Challenger has the spirit of the 1970s Challengers
+Jose Sustaita Jose, you have to realize that for a LONG time now, auto body styles are beyond limited in availability. There's one assembly line for nearly any one car now, overwhelmingly 4 door. The Charger was ruined for a lot of guys as a 4 door, but not ruined for many, many more. It's been a smashing success due to it's still largely sporty style and power, but with the practicality of a 4 door.
Dodge wisely addressed the 4 door "issue" 2 years ago by giving it a Challenger 'flavor' and look yet keeping it the successful (4 door) car it's been for years now. I'm a 2 door car guy myself, and know where you're coming from. Unfortunately, this is the way it's been for decades now, and will be from here on out. It's economics, the market, cars basically being transportation appliances now and more. It's a bummer.
+Stephen Conway Stephen I knew there weren't Crown Victoria's any more, but Chevy does make an Impala, newly redesigned last year. Do you know why law enforcement doesn't like the Impala?
+Bob Pierce Mr. Anderson...
I learn so much watching these videos. Hellcats are absolutely beautiful.
OK I have had it with the hate comments about my next new car!
1st off The Nissan GTR is a super car just like the Stingray C7 Z06 they are designed for the track and street the Z06 is only a couple of tenths faster through the 1/4 mile and has 2 less seats than the Hellcat, they are designed to go around a track the Hellcat is a MUSCLE CAR, READ PONY CAR designed for a family man to carry his family around the country while being able to have a lot of fun smoking the tires. This car does corner and is only .4 seconds slower than a Camero ZL1 in the figure 8 and pulls .94g vs .99g for the ZL1 and the ZL1 weighs less, so stop it!
Stop comparing super GTR and Z06 and cars like it to a MUSCLE cars cause you look desprate. Like it so much go buy one have fun post the video of you getting smoked cause you can't drive and your excuse that the sun was in your eyes at the drag strip.
This car has over 700 HP in order to get over 700 HP you need to spend over $300,000 dollars period, think Lamborghini Aventador LP704, McLaren P1, Ferrari La Ferrari, Ferrari F12 So stop it, just stop it cause every time you bring up cars in this range to say that they have more HP and weigh less the dumber you sound.
If you don't like HIGH HORSE POWER PONY CARS WHY ARE YOU HERE? No one cares that your crap box 1988 CRX Honda with a crate engine in it that has to be dragged to the drag strip, has no AC, stereo or sound deading of any kid whatsoever and weighs as much as a flea's fart, and is relevant at the drag strip, but no where else is what you prefer over this monster or else we would be commenting on your channel about how fast it is. You like it I love it but I also love this car, and want to read comments about people who actually like this car as well!
The Shelby GT1000 is not a production car, it does not roll off of Ford's production line! How do I know? because the Shelby warehouse is less than 10 minutes from my house! Got cash and a Ford GT 500 they will set you right up with as much HP as you got cash, it's a tuner car with aftermarket upgrades!
So stop it, and the GT500 is out of production anyhow and it only had 662HP IT'S NOT UP FOR DISCUSSION, did I want one yes can I get one new NO! Do I want a Hellcat? YES can I buy one new YES!
Now I must say this I love to debate cars as much as the next guy, but you guys are really laying on the hate thick!
Now if Dodge had said that this was a SUPER CAR or even a SPORTS CAR you might have a point, but this is A MUSCLE CAR and the cars they built back then did not have to have airbags, AC anti-lock brakes and all of the things that these cars have to have built into them today just to be able to be sold, so ya the car is heavy but so was the original Challenger back in the day.
If you are concerned with the environment do what I did and build your own EV if you don't like what's out on the market, and sell that and see how hard it is to build a bruiser that can be driven everyday without breaking down every 5 minutes. This is a outstanding feat of engineering to build a production car with 707 HP and slap a warranty on it. Bravo Dodge! My hat is off to you and I will be at the dealer to buy one of your nuclear powered Hellcat Tank busters, as soon as they become available in my area.
Rant ends.
I'm a Mustang guy all the way to the grave but after watching this I want one so bad!
Imagin the Shelby gt500 had something like this ... I would get it In a blink of an eye..
***** the new shelby has been spotted at the nurburgh
ing and it looks pretty nice
***** Doesn't Shelby already have a bunch of models ranging from 650-1000hp?
***** those are all packages offered by Shelby not production cars. You have to first purchase a GT500 then request the 35k+ package and for just under 100k you can have a SuperSnake
I'm a die hard Camaro fan I own a 2014 and ill have to agree with a mustang guy for once haha love this car
"Imported from Detroit." Love it! Like American Muscle/ Classics, Euro and Japanese, but I find that line hilarious.
Lol imported from canada 🍁
Just acquired a 2012 SRT8. Read most of the manual and still feel like I know squat about my challenger.
Was at the store and bought the “JLG car care bucket”. I’m happy to say that once open it smells somewhere between bubble gum and candy. A whole bunch of treats.
I’m getting my first hellcat in two weeks can’t wait! 😊
Did you get it?
Loved how Jay was low key clownin' on that fool from Dodge the whole time.
This is great, I love this channel. I'm sure Jay is loving putting these together too. Love the vids Jay's garage!
Remember when that wheelie guy lost control and flipped his car like three times with Jay Leno inside it??? That was awesome...
Old Tim didn't seem as friendly after that AWESOME burnout - lol
wow, the insane thing about this car (there are many but this one in particular), is the fact that it's a 700 plus horsepower car that costs about 60 grand, a little over 60 grand if you want it fully loaded. It's crazy because not too too long ago, the Enzo Ferrari came out with 650, 660 horsepower, and was doing quarter miles in a bout 11 seconds. That car cost about 900 grand when it came out, today they can go for significantly over 1 million. I understand that's a collectable, considering they only made, I believe about 350, 400 of them. But even other non-limited edition cars like the Lamborghini Murcielago, whom can still go for about 250 grand today give or take, had about 590 horsepower. Hell even comparing it with other American Muscle cars like the Corvette Z06 with 505 horsepower went for 72 grand, the 510 horsepower Viper SRT-10 went for 80 grand, and the Ford GT with 550 horsepower, one of the greatest American cars ever build, went for about 160 grand. The Corvette ZR-1 which has about 635 horsepower goes for about 110 grand. So this car is just incredible on quite a few levels. Way to go, Dodge!!
Yep, I'm almost positive I'll be seeing quite a few where I live in a few months just like I see a bunch of Corvette stingrays now.
you can get a 20 year old motorbike that destroy this car for the price of a McDonalds Happy meal.
Well yeah, but we're not talking about bikes here. Plus you're comparing a 4500 pound car with 4 wheels and a, what, 700 to 800 pound bike.
Brendon Sanders
The new stingrays look pretty nice. Not as good as this, but they're still cool. If I had one I'd be a little mad :P
Oozywolf I'm thinking about getting one. I have the cash but I'm not sure its a wise investment.
Aventador coupe costs $400,000 and Aventador roadster is closer to $450,000 base price. So yes the horsepower is impressive.... but let's not get into this...
Got mines 4 days ago…couldn’t be more proud 🙌🏾
My god this car is amazing. For under $60,000 you have a track ready car.
RUclips Aneesh 4400 lb track car. good luck with that. lol
RUclips Aneesh Right? I watched a video not to long ago of a Challenger Hellcat racing a 2015 Nismo GTR And the Challenger won
+I don't even know Should total out around 75k now. The raised the price of it to 65k. and the charger is close to 70k now.
+Simon Garcia Nismo GTR is not meant for drag racing, as you can tell by the nurburgring lap time it set.....an alpha gtr would destroy it in a drag race anyways..
+Canniballistix yes I know, but people seem to believe that this was ment to be a race car and when it wins people just say "throw in some turns and its done"
707 horses ...WOW !
Nayy!
no grip in the rears for this boat.
xtr3mezer0
11.2 off the show room floor with only 275s? LOL no grip ... you FAIL
Imagine what this thing could do with 11" rim and 315 MT II's!
I would still take a late 60's to early 70's muscle car over a modern one, specifically a 1971 Plymouth Barracuda
The 'new' car is supposed to be called "Cuda". If it is ever built...
I found a bit unfair comparing a 45 year-old car to the (then) latest one.
Drive a Terminator cobra. Totally raw modern powerhouse. The gen 2 viper and the terminator are modern raw cars.
The Barracuda was never a muscle car. Equip'ed with a slant 6, OR in Gran Coupe styling, with a 383-2 bbl....neither would get out of its own way.
The "CUDA was the muscle version of the Barracuda.......
I watched the last police Charger video and then came back to this one. Really nice to see him and Tim interact over the years. As a Charger owner this really will be thought of the last golden age of V8 American Muscle. It's a shame that they've lost such a great CEO like Tim. No matter what the brand does, we've got some fantastic cars and times with them. You guys did a fantastic job!
I WANT this car! :)
Me too!!!!!
@metaljesusrocks I never get tired of seeing your comments on other videos im interested in considering I have been flowing yours and the allgengamers since ther literal beginning.
Camaro bby
Everyone does! The most metal car ever in the last decade, nothing but pure V8 glory. Gotta love it.
good to see ya here
I always loved dodges... I dream of having a white 69 charger with the 440ci v8
It’s crazy to think this is a 8 year old car
Fax but Jay Leno was right these cars are going to be popular in a few years. Honestly I'm a Mopar lover the hellcat is a beast 🔥
a decade now
Jay like you I needed the Manual car and as a result of this video I bought a car. As a vet I'm glad you offered up this one. Class act and I love mine. Invite me to see your cars when you have time.
4440 pounds damn
16:38 did anyone else hear him say "upSHITS"
I think it should have a system to shut off half the cylinders for when you don't want the full power, because though the power is great fun, I'd love to be able to flick a switch and boost the mileage to go on on trips because 20mpg isn't really good enough in my opinion.
I am not sure but couldn't you use the valet mode to reduce to 300hp.Wouldn't that boost the mileage
ShengTooFlash Nah, Jay asked that question in the video, valet mode only reduces power, not fuel consumption.
Alfred Munkenbeck If I'm not mistaken, I don't believe that would work with the supercharger since it's always making boost. Atleast you can change keys and ride in "stealth" mode lol
Jason C Maybe a way of inventing a shut off system for the entire supercharger would work, so you have a naturally aspirated engine, but I just think something needs to be done about the mileage, but definitely not an automatic system, just a switch on the dashboard so it doesn't interfere at times you wish it wouldn't.
Alfred Munkenbeck I don't think fuel mileage is a major concern for someone buying a car with 700 ponies under their right foot, having 20 is a big step.
I noticed Jay Leno constantly kept calling it a sedan. Not too sure why, but got to love the Hellcat! I loved it so much, finally got one earlier this year.
Great American Automobile with an engine block manufactured in Mexico
I just Googled the price in Australia. $180000....Faaaaaaaarrrrrrk!
+dishiedog Stick with the vee dubs mate ;)
I reckon!!! WTF Australia!
For a lot of cars, Australia pretty much pays double, especially with the luxury car tax.. it sucks
What a rip off lol
Fark alright, that's what we paid for our house.
16:38 "Up-shits"
lmao
I thought you were horshing around Muhammad until I heard the Dodge exec say it, I was bent over laughing!
A set of tires, wheels and suspension and the the old Hemi Challenger and it would surprise ya... I saw the Hemi Challengers run in the 9 second range in 1970
You should do a show on your 1970 challenger.
Yup, I'ld have to say that is an excellent illustration of why you NEVER give your sports car to a valet to park.
Pretty much sums it up, cause as a valet, that's what I would do. lol
I don't care if the auto shifts faster, I still want a manual! Lol
Charlie A 🎯👊
Charlie A I love a manual too, until I'm sitting in traffic LOL!
Auto for track stick for street.
Charlie A I'll take that 8 speed auto any day. Gives me two hands on the wheel for cranking hard back to back S turns in the Green Mountain State.. That stick might be fine for flyin down a straight flat vast of emptiness . But not when ya hit the highground baby.... There ain't nothing like flying down and old country dirt road in the back hills of the north country.
Not in this car you don't, lol
favorite video! jay happy as hell on the inside but keeping that same composure as he burned rubber with the CEO/ Jay opening the hood "ohhh, ahhhh" 6:34
$59,995. US dollars 707HP!!!!! It's Simply THE BEST!!!!! ;o) Nothing is even close to the Hellcat!!!!! MOPAR FREAKIN ROCKS!!!!!!!!! You got to love those Italian Americans!!!!!! :o) ;o)
I hate how he keeps saying that the lamborghini aventador doesn't have as much horsepower, yet It will annihilate it in a race, quality, and just about everything else.
actually jay's mistake was acting like it was a sports car, it's not. It's a muscle car, a sedan. It's meant for the family to go riding in and give dad a toy on the weekends.
purplexenno It's not a sedan.
Bo Fa'aita
uh yes it is. The back is equal to or over 33 cubic ft. The door trick no longer applies (hence two door sedans and four door coupes) The "official" measurement involves the magic number 33.
purplexenno true
purplexenno sedan = 4 doors. coupe = 2 doors
Wow this is quickly becoming one of my favorite cars of all time! I hope I can get it one day.
I don’t blame you Jay, I just got a Challenger about a month ago and I ain’t letting nobody borrow my car!
It has great performance, it can be daily driven and track driven with no problem, holds 4 passengers comfortably, it's reliable, great for car shows, great for cruising, and it has all the creature comforts of a regular car to make it an easy drive. It's an awesome car but I can spare myself more than 50k and buy a mid 2000's BMW m3 e46 and it will do all the things I just listed. Sorry but I'll pass.
My neighbor is 82 and bought a black one.
Interesting how this car says “supercharged” on the side, instead of the Hellcat logo
Well the Hellcat is the only one thats supercharged so I'm guessing thats why they did it.
@@paulmann5328 right but my point is this Hellcat in particular has a different badge on the side. maybe because its an early 2015 model
I recently purchased one this is a true BEAST
Wow the Hell Cat is awesome - Thanks Jay :)
"These are hard to come by, friends you can get those anywhere" :DD
If Leno says "very European" what he means is that it is good and that it works
Jay?! A Jay u r the man?!! Thanks for the Tips
1. No Valet or valet mode
2. Real car guys do there own oil change
3. No friends drive your car.
lol at 16:38, he accidentley said "it'll upsh*ts by mistake :p
I wish my car upshits like this one
Ik lmmfao that was kinda funny!
If you make it in Plum Crazy I'll buy it,
Jay the Hellcat is not built in America, it's built in Ontario, Canada :)
I've been a GM guy my whole life but with what Dodge is doing nowadays I gotta say..I'm a fan,it's even made me more appreciative of older Dodge and Plymouth cars.
