I am a millennial born in the 1980s and I have dreamed for years of owning a Dodge Challenger Hellcat! I remember growing up in the 1990s and scowling the school library for car books and magazines and salivating at pictures of '68 Dodge Chargers, the legendary 426ci HEMI V8s, 440ci V8 Plymouth Cudas and the candy store of car colors WOW! I remember thinking at age 13, god the baby boomers and older where so lucky to be alive and driving at that time, I am jealous of them. I will never, in my life get to see such a golden age in cars. Well come 2009 and HOLY COW Dodge brought us humans the Challenger again!! Wow what a time to be alive to see these prowling the streets!!! 🤩🤩🤩
I agree with you! A great looking (muscle) car. Timeless. They should keep selling it.
V8's are going away like the V6s went in 2018-2022
There's something about a coupe with large wide C-pillars. Some of my overall favorite car designs are the Challenger, Audi A5/S5 coupe and the Bentley Brooklands.
Just got back online, and the man does car reviews now!! What a great idea, matched with the designing skills. Awesome review!!
Awesome work ,great review 👍👍
The seats are aftermarket. Those are not OEM.
"When you press the accelerator to the floor, tens of thousands of parts in the car come to life, yes, just for you. They play a beautiful symphony under the command of the internal combustion engine, like a harmonious orchestra. The roar of the engine is the crescendo of this concert, incomparable to the electromagnetic sound of electric cars. I don't like the quietness of electric cars, for quiet is meant for the dead. In the embrace of a gasoline car, life continues with each jump of the spark plug, pulsating like a heartbeat, powering your journey. Look at that driveshaft, a crystallization of human wisdom, transmitting power and taking you to unknown places. That spark plug, the heart of the internal combustion engine, each ignition is a leap of life, a crystallization of the engineer's wisdom. The entire internal combustion engine is like a sculpture at the pinnacle of industry, representing human creativity and indomitable spirit. Driving a gasoline car, we feel more than just the passion of dancing with machinery; we admire the engineering marvels, awestruck by the industrial peak represented by the internal combustion engine. Every press of the accelerator is an intimate contact with the greatness of technology and engineering, feeling the brilliance of human intelligence. Therefore, a gasoline car is not just a means of transport; it is a masterpiece of human industrial art, a symbol of passion and power. Let us cherish this wonderful mechanical world, feel the charm of the internal combustion engine, and make every drive a journey full of music and passion."
I was just down in North Carolina near Fort Bragg and they are everywhere.
Would like a video where you took a look at the design of Polestar 2 :)
Something is wrong with that car. The leather looks off and doesn’t have the hellcat logo. Also if you get leather seats the door has leather on it as well. That car probably had the seats refinished
...doing the environment a favor...love it. Great review. I'm trying hard to get one before their gone for good.
For me, the interior lets this car down. Looks like something that will look very cheap in not so distant future. Also, looks bulbular and fat, lots of crazy looking shapes. Eh, can't have it all. Still a very cool car IMO.
Also, you said it's "simple", but it is simple in function and not in looks. Would prefer to switch it around.
I have a 21 300 Touring and you really feel the 8 Speed Working in that thing. All the Shifts are so precise and predictable as well. They're pretty quick too making that thing feel zippy, giving you a nice little push from each shift.
I’d love to see a video on the Camaro ss 1le
Great video, I'm curious what you think of the T/A?
I own a regular body HC could have gotten the WB. Ive been forcefeed the WB look sooo much that the regular body looks weird without the flares now 😂
This is definitely a modern classic. So many of them are modded, abused and wrecked, that I firmly believe that good late-model ones will be quite rare in the very near future.
I'd take a Tesla as my daily, and one of these for sunny weekends.
What happened to the seats? Those aren't hellcat seats!
Aftermarket leather. Whoever did it didn’t do a good job 😂
2 door looks cool but I wish they made them 4 door
V6's went bye bye 2018 to 2022, now it's time for V8s. Toyota killed off Avalon just to get rid of last V6 sedans. I have a 2017 SRT392 Challenger & will be keeping it for a long time.
The Banshee is a Charger. The Challenger remains to be seen.
I’m daily drive this lol 😂
One day i will buy it inshallah
Mustang isn't a muscle car, it's a sportscar, BTW, Mustang is slated to end 2028
First
This is the only car that has not changed design for years and still outsells the competition. It is BY FAR one of the best look two door cars every made and THEE BEST looking American muscle car. The only thing I would want dodge to do in order to improve the handling of this car would be to make a new version with the same shape and design but shrunken down a bit to the size of a Camaro. It’s a bit large a boat-like and putting it on a diet would make it perform and handler tighter and more agile…..I guess the big touring-like ride and handling is a part of being a muscle car. I think they were just intend to be powerful in a straight line and I’m fine with that. The car is just beautiful. So sad it is going away. I don’t think ev is the way to go. It doesn’t seem sustainable. Where and how will all the crashed and old ev be disposed. What about the means by with we get the lithium…doesn’t that damage the environment. It just doesn’t make sense. The ev thing is just marketing to get people excited about a new way to make cars and therefore spark a new wave for car sales like they did in the 50s.
*cough* *there is a mustang*
It's a bit too sport car-esque, sooo more of a pony car...
I live in apartment building on ground floor. My neighbor parks his black challenger in front of my apartment. Unbelievable how many people uh and ah about that car! A sorry day for challenger to be discontinued 😑
WOW! That Hellcat is just plain badass. Bye, bye Cameros, Firebirds and Mustangs. Sad that they are going to drop it from the lineup.
Nice presentation and review, you make me want to buy one. They should just keep making them like those russian lada cars that never really changed over 30 years. We need something to stick around that says and looks the part of "murica". I don't feel that when I look at the new camaro and mustangs. Wish they all would of stayed with their original retro redesigns. They got so curvy and feminine looking imo. Like trying to put hairy men in dresses and lipstick with spanx. Just doesn't work for me personally. I also think it makes me feel young in some way knowing these came out when I was 17 and are still being sold.
"It looks so good I feel Im doing the environment around me a favour by just driving around in this car" 😂😂😂
Only reason to move to the US
Or freedom
@@trivelox15 The US doesn’t even rank in the top 10 freest countries
@@stevesmith7037 oooh
Muscle cars are not dead. They just have a different power plant moving them.
Cars don’t need to make sound to be powerful.
Disagree. Muscle cars need to make a lot of noise. If you put an electric motor in a muscle car body then call it something else
cars need good sound to be considered good cars
although i agree some every-day cars should be evs, i will never be happy with an all ev future. I cant imagine lamborghini/ferrari/dodge/others going full ev
Even if you wanted you couldn't be more wrong
L progressive weirdo
ev’s arent better for the environment. Maybe hydrogen or synthetic fuel but the electric cars stuff is bullshit
Actually Ford is still producing muscle cars, so just because Dodge decided to wimp out and go electric, doesn’t mean it’s the end of muscle cars
Pony car not muscle car. Mustangs are incredibly agile along with camaros
@@brandonmccoy4872 ford calls it a muscle car so it is one
@@twilightmedia8575 no it's not 😂 a muscle car is a big heavy straight line drag car. Mustang and Camaros are not that big or heavy and are very good on track.
@@brandonmccoy4872 even according to your defination they are still muscle cars, mustangs and camaros are as big and heavy as the dodge challenger and even faster than challengers on the drag races.
@@twilightmedia8575 neither are heavy cars for a sports car class 😂 challengers are significantly heavier. Do some research
Quite simply nobody buys them anymore. They failed at adapting with the times and became a joke. The average customer is about 67 years old. Because they want to relive their childhood. Once they go electric, they will become pointless.
You couldn't be more wrong 😂 challengers, chargers, and mustangs sell like hot cakes still
Have you tried to buy one? It took a year for mine to arrive after special ordering it.
I am 75 years old and would take that Hellcat in a flash. Electric vehicles are powered by flashlights!
They failed at adapting with the Times but yet jumped first into the EV world, got it. They nailed the Design the first time and did a marvelous job with its Updates on all the Mopars, which set the Trend for the entire industry when you look at all these popular modern designs on the road right now.

Pff. EV is the easy part. Just buy in an engine. If you want 300 more HP, just put in another one. As easy as that. No engineering, craftsmanship, or expertise required. Just buy off the shelf components from the same handful of Chinese companies that everybody else uses.
Were over 10 years away from the definiteyly planned end of the gas engine. If they are killing it already, its because nobody was buying it.
Honestly glad it's going away. Always hated the look, just my opinion
