Our first official test of the Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye! What did you all think?
didn't do as well as standard hellcats we've seen on here....headwind maybe?
Awesome
Pretty nice test
Did it have a few burnout's before running?
The short shifts didn't help the car reach higher top end speed. The car is built for quick sprints but with a certain type of tune with an aggressive driver. 200mph should be obtainable
For everyone asking... We think the reason the Redeye didn't get to 200+ was because of the tire type and size. I was running toyo proxes tires (305/35/20) and they are a very soft compound tire creating a lot of drag at the higher speed. After doing some research we are going to go back out soon hopefully and try running a couple harder compound different size tires like 275's and 285's and see what it will run. You live and you learn... but the good news is...since we didn't get 200, we will have to try again!! :)
Do you think being a wide body would take the top speed down just a little.?.
BRIAN SMITH it’s the same widebody that’s on the demon and with only 11 more hp the demon did 203
Get the 3.09 gear option
Why not go back to the tires that came on it stock? The Pzero tires arent as sticky (summer or all season).
Redeye Racing because they will give it a horrible start. Most cars that are in their tests use sticky tires so they won’t spin like a banshee out of hell when they start
Aerodynamics of a brick. Pretty good though.
shitty aerodynamics shitty weight you have to wonder if they'll ever add AWD i mean why not the boat is already heavy tremendous car though
fall back cause the car is meant for drag racing. Not street racing. Awd will slow it down
Yea that was pretty good for that Huge Brick LOL! I agree.
Ray Nyce it definitely could’ve gone faster without those soft compound tires that they used
Pretty damn amazing is more like it, and speaks volumes for the gen3 hemis. Especially when considering the weight factor as well, and are in a class of their own
1:38 Love hearing the sound of planes fly by... oh I mean cars.
That supercharger whine! Ear porn
Sounds like a whole airplane taking off so beautiful 😍
The sound at fly by....hypnotic.
Gracias por el video lo estaba esperando con muchas ansias!!
pretty cool seeing the plane pass just before the car took off and then watching the plane get passed back up
Good eye
Straight to the point no bullshit, I love it
This is fun, remember Plymouth more exact the superbird? Well i was a engineering technician and driver in 1970 and we often did 200+ in them. The difference was they weren't production models and need a real driver and after you were done you couldn't drive it home or a quick run to the hamburger store for a snack. This RED Eye really is special and it can be a daily driver. Also i believe it has a warranty, amazing.
I wonder how a regular body hellcat redeye would do. It probably has a higher top speed than the claimed 203 mph on the widebody redeye
Odd seeing the charger hellcat top 202mph and this didn't even break 195mph
The difference between an "aerodynamic" brick, and a simple brick
This one had sticky toyo compound tires and the 2.62 diff. If it had the stock tires and the 3.09 diff it would’ve gone faster
Bass God charger hellcats come with the 2.62 gear ratio stock. The 3.09 was not an option on either of my chargers, and I haven’t seen it offered yet but i haven’t really looked at the 2020s. The 3.09 is offered in the challenger red eye and that’s the only model i have seen it offered to replace the 2.62 stock (demon not included as it is a 3.09). It is a popular swap in many of the hellcats. The 3.09 is good for about 2 tenths and 2mph in the 1/4 mile over the 2.62. It maintains this lead through the 1/2 mile, but after that the 2.62 takes over. My guess would be that this red eye is possibly equipped with the 3.09 and not the 2.62.
Robert Goewey the owner said it had the 2.62 axle ratio. I’d assume the 3.09 would give it a higher top speed because it’s more power being put to the ground and keeps the engine in the higher rpms since the car has more hp than torque.
Robert Goewey I have the 2.62 gear and when running we noticed that the gearing was too tall for the heavy 305/35/20 tires. I was at 191 mph in 6th gear at about 6000 rpm and the amount of drag the soft tires was putting out (along with the brick of a car) was too much to shift into 7th. The 3.09 gears and smaller tires would allow me to shift sooner so I could get into that 7th gear and continue to pull mph due to the higher rpm.
For a brick, he flew pretty good!
0:55 - The car be beating a plane tho ( On the top right corner)
Best bang for the buck all day!
This is my dream car
Did anybody else peep him chasing the plane down in the top right corner of the screen😂
I anticipated around 195, myself. One thing also to take into consideration is the fact that it’s a widebody; a contributing factor to its speed here of ‘only’ 191 mph. They’re pushing a lot of air in their traditional Hellcat form. Despite the increased output, the wider stance and larger footprint certainly don’t help matters at speeds of this magnitude. Still not too shabby in my book, taking into consideration the decrease in aerodynamics and overall mass 💪🏻 🇺🇸
Nice!!!👍
Damn that car has a lot of drag!!
The Demon did 200+ a while back on this same test😈
California Street Demons it was 211 just watched it
I would hope any car with 800hp can do 200+ lol
WHY DID THEY STOP MAKING DEMONS?!😩😫THE BEST MUSCLE!
@@ayushangral4020 exclusiveness
Cool. Is there a video that tested it on the track that Bugatti uses in Germany?
Damn I would’ve thought them was 200mph cars
Imagine driving that fast it will never happen but just imagine
What do you mean haha of course it will happen ...disclaimer i live in germany so Autobahn;-)
Can’t wait to see the new Corvette C8 ZR1 top speed run. I’m patiently waiting
I thing it's going to be a track car more than high-speed run car ..
Jeez that thing was going faster than the plane. Put some wings on a hellcat and it would take off
The plane wasnt even trying then. Redeye would get smoked by 488 GTB,Huracan,12C,650S,570S...
Notice at the :45, :46 mark he started going fast enough to stop the plane from pulling and actually catches it. Looks like it may be a Cessna or similar.
Top speed doesn't matter to me......Lord Willing, i'm still purchasing a brand new 2020 in 2020 !!!
AWESOME MAN, They are unbelievably fun and fast cars!!!, you will love it!!! JB
@Howard Hamlin HAHAHAHA
@Howard Hamlin - Amen brother.......Amen 🙏
@@JohnnyBohmerProvingGroundsSLF No you won't love it at all it's fun to drive full and things start going wrong remember it's a Dodge and quality control is not good these cars are not dependable
You may wanna wait till Nov 2020 for the 2021 widebody charger Hellcat with the Redeye option called the ANGEL. I know its 4 door but it will have a new better suspension. Be lighter than the Redeye and have a longer wheelbase with over 800 HP. I love the challenger Redeye but this Charger might top it !
Nice brick's aerodynamic
Yup they need to burnout tires alot to grip before running!! Great video thanks guys.
Should test the stage 1 aero A8 C7 Z06
The most aerodynamic shape is a teardrop. That being said the new challenger was meant to look like a 1970-1971 challenger. You can take your wife and your two kids and go on a vacation with your trunk packed across the country and ride in comfort and average 23 mpg. If you want you can still be able to reach high speeds. They are great road cars. It does exactly what it was designed to do no more no less.
i find it so funny at how 0:50 you notice a plane at the top right corner of the screen and the Redeye is going faster than it
Not sure what was more impressive the speed of the hellcat or the straight away road lol was that an Airport run way?
Lot of exotics can hit 200 these days, which proves that weight and aero are just as important factors as raw power. But few talk about it. I’d rather have a 400hp lightweight car than a big heavy 600hp (or more) car. More fun.
Si me gusta para un fin de semana 😎
It’s rare to see a car pass a plane 😂
Can you please test more hci c6z
it was probably high elevation and was a little hot which can significantly decrease a car's acceleration and top speed. The Hellcats you see doing 200 are around sea level.
This test was performed at 5' above sea-level, you cant get much lower unless you run in Death Valley. Thanks JB
What's the bestest conditions for testing a cars top speed?
We need more demon videos like alot more I've seen just as many red eyes as much as mustangs
Took off pretty slow. Did they edit out the sound of the engine from the cockpit or is it just that quiet?
Just quiet and smooth
Even more impressive to do it with 0G acceleration the whole time
Super cool look and fast 0 to 60. It's a pretty quiet engine like perhaps 1/3 of that sound of Bugatti Chiron
That shot at 1:38 is sick....
Stock car ? No ecu remap ?
This new speed boat wild
I thought I read in an auto magazine where they exceeded a tick over 200mph?
I've heard that the narrow bodied cats can achieve the 200 mark better than the wide bodies...the wide bodies just look better,but are somewhat slower.
👍
Weight and aerodynamics affect it too
Both those, the weather and the 2.62 gear ratio is a major limiting factor of this vehicle's top speed
So, I have already talked with FCA, my RE has 3.09 gears and trying to make a test session to run the car, but never home at right time. Anyway, FCA says both gear sets have achieved the 203 MPH, which is limited electronically. It does not look your car made 7th gear, but you were around 6,000 rpm? Maybe just under? For either gears, we have to get a 7th gear up-shift to hit the 200 mark. If the Demon they tested hit 211 with that big ass drag hood, even running the 840 tune, the Redeyes will hit the claimed top speed. Maybe with some more room, FCA never really said how much distance we need for 203. Car sure does sound good at 192 though.
Yeah I think for me it was just a tire size and compound issue, if I were to put smaller harder tires on to give me a higher rpm I should be able to break the 200 mark.
Were you still running 305s, or did you go 315? Also, can you say what gear and rpm you were at when you trapped? Also, why did you guys only do 2.3, what happen to 2.7 mile?
Christopher DeMarco yeah I was at about 6000k rpm in 6th and it was just holding there it held all the way to 2.7 when we did it too. It just sat at 190-191 I think my 2.7 mile run I trapped like 189.5 because I let off a little early. These are 305’s still just a lot softer compound than the stock Pirelli tires
Just for info Joey, you were all broke in? Miles wise over 1,500? I was just reading at least 7.5 psi more added to our stock tires according to TireRack to run past 186. I'm hot to do this, I bought my trailer last break so I can show with virgin tires. Also, I'm assuming you were in track mode every run?
Christopher DeMarco yea I ran at about 45-50 psi, you have to take into account that the tires will gain psi when they heat up from the speed. Filling with nitrogen is your best bet. If you want to break 200 I’d suggest bringing 275-285’s the hellcat and demon that were with me were running them and they went faster because they were getting into that 7th gear
It took that plane to gapplebees.
We noticed that after I got the video back..definitely the coolest part of the day!
watched the video like three or four times i never saw a plane
@@fallback8314 You literally must be blind. You can see the plane from the very beginning. And the Dodge passes it. Might want to get your eyes checked.
@@fallback8314 top of screen towards the right
@@houstang2194 yea i picked it up after. i was expecting to see them race side by side down a runway
1:37 grubhub workers when u say I'll tip u more if u hurry up
Welp. That's fast enough for me.
Impressive, I have C6 Vette, and did 162mph but lifted in fear of getting Caught, ignore the Haters.
Good radar is valentine one and escort uniden see vortex radar for the best one cheaper than a ticket
It's a real shame you didn't get caught going that fast on a public road.
It peaked at 192mph twice. Way slower than the 203mph Dodge claims and I see as feasible.
Update: The owner says it’s due to the Toyo Proxes tires he’s using apparently slowing the car down as if it were a rear wing due to its softer compound.
The charger hellcat did 203 mph in this same test
Charger is 100% more aerodynamic
Please Rimac concept 1
That's a lot of power. I wonder how fast it can stop at 190mph? I'm sure no one will ever drive this car in the States and think its slow.
Stopping this beast was the scariest part lol
GT500 next?
What’s the price?
2014 stock Turbo S 2.7 miles
Thought it would do a little better. Still impressive!
it had to do with my tires im pretty sure... had some soft compound toyos on it and they were 305's which created a lot of drag... if I switched to 285's I think id do much better... going to try again soon!
@@joeyp.1710 probably true. Those tires are similar to DRs
@@joeyp.1710 give the pirellis a try
@@Mardigrasstemmer Yeah, simple mistake on my part... didn't have any extra rims on hand because I had only had the car a couple months but we will bring multiple sets out next time and really see what works best. Trial by fire
@@joeyp.1710 I hear ya....great looking car. Maybe I'll get to run there one day. My goal is to hit 200+
I got up to 189mph with my 2019 Challenger hellcat widebody on my beadlocks n MT’s but ran out of space 😂
Which rear end did it have? Was it the stock 262 or the optional 309?
The stock 2.62
@@JohnnyBohmerProvingGroundsSLF Thanks for the reply, I have the 3.09 in my Redeye WB, it seemed to pull hard up to 185 and then started to slowly gain more MPH. I hit 190 and had to let out of it because of traffic up ahead. It felt like it could still go a little faster so I'll have to take it out again when there's nobody around and try it again. I still have the stock tires on it.
@@scottparker6219 IMPRESSIVE BUT DOING THAT ON THE STREET IS NOT ADVISED, BE CAREFUL!!! JB
262
👍💯😎
...Is that a space shuttle on the left at 1:09?
Yes it is
Best is Mopar wow !!!!
True top speed tests do it in opposite directions and then use the average of the two runs.
Anyone else notice the space shuttle at 1:16 ???
Johnny can you explain why this new more powerful one was so much slower ?
it had to do with my tires im pretty sure... had some soft compound toyos on it and they were 305's which created a lot of drag... if I switched to 285's I think id do much better... going to try again soon!
@@joeyp.1710
Also get the 3.09 gear option,its faster than 2.62 gear option
Weird that the 2015 hellcat top speed was 196 and the 2019 redeye was only 192...
Id drive it
I like Dodge challenger is best 😁
have a camera or the Speedo or on a dash GPS or don't bother
Price?
Love dodge but 220 on the dash for what?!
Dodge is not the only one that does this 😂
I'm shocked that the demon doesn't have 220 on the dash when it got 211 mph
You need to tell us what diff gear ratio....I have 2020 redeye with 3.09's
The gear ratio is stock 2.62
All these opinions let me set everyone straight first off widebody gains fender flares and 7 inches wider tires together The 2.62 gear is a high speed gear the optional 3.09 would take some away the higher the gear number the slower the top end But hp will punch through the air if you add enough the charger with better aero can hit 202 but again with widebody both models lost 5 mph on top end TRUST ME
What fuel was used in the test car?
93 pump gas
Great video thought it would be over 200 tho
Going back out again and going to try with skinnier harder compound tires and it should do 200
@@joeyp.1710 how fast do you think it will go
@@Datguy_Dq I think 201-202...it got to 191 so fast that I feel like it had so much more to give!
@@joeyp.1710 i think its gonna go 205 just by seeing how well it was doing
@@joeyp.1710
Yes,better tyres and 3.09 gear option
It would possibly make a track car if it was awd
Was that a space shuttle waiting to cross the runway at 1:15 ???? Looked like I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue!
I see that, too, wonder about it
yeah! its not one that is functional though... just a full scale replica
Wow the charger actually has a higher top speed with less power probably because of it being a little more aerodynamic
Stock lp610-4 coupe 2.7 miles
Do the 2020 Shelby GT500
I would like to see that, but they would have to remove the stock speed limiter to see the true top speed. Ford electronically limited the speed to 185 mph, but I'm sure it's a 200+ mph car.
I know. I wanna see it with the limiter removed.
It's much more aerodynamic than the redeye.
Sounds like a airplane lol
E60 m5 did 200+ 12 year ago
With only 507 hp
Imagine if you was to reduce the weight to 3700lbs
Next time be sure to add accelerator position to the overlay.
the accelerator position was 0-100 through first and then 100 percent 2-6th lol allllll the way to the floor
E60 m5 did 200+ 12 year ago
With 507 hp
current regular bodied challenger has a drag coefficient of .356.
.398 for the widebody.
hope that's right, a quick google search.
The 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona has a drag coefficient of 0.28 :D
Widebody increases drag.
Charger Hellcat Redeye would do better then the Dodge Le Brick :)
192mph 🤔
Demon went 211,what gear and tire did the red eye have? Just asking?
2.62 gear and 305/35/20 toyo proxes tires...tires were def a factor.. should've put on smaller ones
Fictional run via Dodge.
In English terms = lie!
@@joeyp.1710
Maybe you should use better tyres and the 3.09 gear option
Sound like a jet
What final drive gear ratio?
262
@@JohnnyBohmerProvingGroundsSLF the 3:09 gear will top out higher--pulls all the way through
@@evanjameson5437 agreed
Damn so a “regular” Hellcat is faster?!
Yes. 199mph
There's a lot of factors that go into top speed, like rear end gear ratios, tires, aerodynamics, etc...I would rather have the quicker car (Redeye) as opposed to faster car (regular Hellcat). Top speed is really a useless metric, because 99% of the people that own cars capable of high top speeds will never see it. 1/4 mile is a more useful metric.
Chris M. Yea light to light is the funnest driving in these cars . Smoke em if you got em
Makes me feel great about my ol bone stock 13yr old vette
Still runs with some of the higher hp rides
