"It was Vin Diesel's hero car in Fast and Furious."
Vin Diesel: it is a FAMILY car.
Dodge: Throw engine displacement at the problem until it goes away
American automakers in a nutshell.
and thats OK lol
@@JTLowry I'm good with it
So...
You think they should go ahead with the 426?
@@kenik2023 me, hell yeah! pun intended
Hahaa pretty awesome top speed of 203 and this is episode 203
This is such a special car, good on Dodge for making things like this. The fact that we know this exists on the planet makes it a better place.
Great team work on the production and Dai as well!
What a car! Love what Dodge has done. One of the few new cars , I want
Love this car, I just wish they would update the interior like they did with the durango hellcat
Couple things:
The fender intake exists on every Charger/300/Challenger. The hood intake exists on most now. The bumper slot is the new one.
Every Charger/Challenger/300 has 2 fuel pumps. A master and a slave/transfer pump because the tank straddles the driveshaft. The Redeye likely just has 2 master pumps.
Oof
So true, Magnums have them too. My 13' Pursuit police car and my 15' R/T (both 5.7) have 2 pumps under the back seat.
Still struggle to believe Matt and Zack are the same age.
No offense to Matt.
It's just Zach who looks extremely young for his age.
@@Orcawhale1 and Matt who looks incredibly old for his age. Creates an even bigger seeming age difference.
@@burritomaker69 I just think it's the beard.
If he shaves it, im sure he looks his age again.
No way Zack is near 40.
@@jareknowak8712 they talked about it on a recent TST podcast show. Zack I believe is one year younger. Just one. Maybe two.
Zack says it’s pretty good for an automatic. I agree. A manual in this thing would make it the perfect car, and truly slam you into the seat… even if it’s fractionally less quick.
Well no. This car has so much power and so little traction that a manual will make it a scary and dangerous car to operate. It will be cool but this is one of those cars which I think is good with an auto
@@minatiroy3738 Scary and dangerous doesn't necessarily equate to bad. Viper and AC Cobra are one of the iconic cars. That gives it a character.
It might be only me who thinks that, because I am attracted to widow makers and death machines.
@@naseeb46 I'm not saying it would be bad but a car with this much horsepower it is kinda pointless though
@@minatiroy3738 If you're talking about pointless, a lot of things are pointless. NASCAR, F1, every other racing, football, Olympics, supercars, guns, bullet trains, speed boats are all pointless things, if you think about it. But there are people who enjoy these things, and it makes people happy in some ways or other.
@@naseeb46 ._.
Really enjoying these videos. Keep this team together. Thanks Hagerty.
production values are way up from last season's Rated keep it up!
Great videos, enjoying Dai and Zack reviewing the cars together, great dynamic.
Didn’t realise Zach was a Ginger until this video.
Well more of a redhead 👨🦰
I didn’t realize I was a ginger until I read this comment.
@@zackklapman3569 Haha, maybe it’s the camera/lighting or my phone. When you’re talking about the fuel economy/CO2.
Still a great video 👍.
@@jryalls Yeah, I see the same thing. I was like, wait a minute, Zachs a redhead.
That’s racist. Ginger lives matter
All sorts of people say these cars don’t handle. I’ve had two hellcats and they were fine and fun. Here is a professional that actually gives the car some handling praise.🤔
Great review guys! I really enjoyed it!
Give Dai Yoshihara his own show
this!!!
with longer lap video shots of his steering input at the front wheels with a mini screen showing track/closed course position, oh and accompanying telemetry would be greatly appreciated 😊
@@ronhuff9219 Randy Pobst style. Come to think of it I'd watch a show with Randy and Yoshihara-san
These newer Rated episodes are so much better - nice work Hagerty team!
I need to start using my welding gloves for driving
White Tilman 1470 are great driving gloves
Awesome review. I ordered mine a month ago and this just reignited the excitement in me. Same color and everything!!!! God I can't wait.
Best color by far mate. Enjoy, it’s going to be a rare thing of beauty in the EV future.
Me too! Just ordered a Redeye-Jailbreak same combo but with red seatbelts.
This is one of the best reviews I've seen thus far on charger redeye
Great video Zack. Love these, but would be very happy with a Scat Pack as a daily.
Zack is doing such a great job!
Klapman! Great format update! Love the production quality of this series. Keep them coming and keep Zach involved with EVERY one of them!
Good to see the FD champ Dai here!
The fact that both Zack and Jason are on Hagerty, along with Davin, is why this is one of two channels I actually have alerts enabled for :|
RIP musclecar era😞😢
Finally! This is the version I want.
Which road course was that?
Aye dai is cool af!
Now, just one question. We’re those epa fuel mileage numbers accomplished during normal driving with the foot planted solidly into the firewall? Or were they achieved while driving with the gear selector in the G setting? That is, the granny mode.
When did Dennis from Its Always Sunny start doing car reviews.
oh my god it's dennis
It helps sales when the base car is a rental car. Top of the line hellcat trims are pretty great though.
2019 Hemis at those rental fleets are hot cakes....
Beautiful car and I am glad America keeps producing these. Maybe I should have said Canada 🇨🇦?
Would like to see this vs M5 on track
M5 would probably win, but I would take this! sick!!
I enjoy Dai, he explains everything in a concise but entertaining way
It still can’t drive in the dark, rocking candle-light-power halogen projector headlights … making sure you realize you are FCA’s cash cow
This will be a classic in 20 years
WANT MORE DAI YOSHIHARA PLEASE
Wow , I have A 2021 Charger v6 , but that Hellcat Redeye is Wow.
Also there is Radar cruise control it is an option.
It should come standard imo.
@@zackklapman3569 , why standard????
@@James-xo4uv Because it's $80k.
Yes ,however manufacturers making more money when optional equipment is purchased by the purchaser, when the manufacturer does not pay a lot for optional equipment. That is why an $80 000 vehicles still have options, the base Charger is $54 000 before an option
Hells yeah.
Invented the “ chiller “ in 2001 I drew the idea and mailed it to dodge
Geez that shot at 6:22 is amazing
Couldn't agree more
zack is a cool dude
Kids of today will most certainly not be driving Hellcats since the manufacturers have told everyone that everything will be electric and get used to it... Sad...
Currently saving for one and hope to order it next year, before it's too late and you can no longer get them. Curious if the replacement will be on the rumored newer and lighter Alpha Romeo chassis and be powered by the rumored turbo inline six that's coming with hybridization.
Alfa Roneo Giulia is a way smaller car.
It does have V6 with twin turbo. Over 500hp. Not sure if inline 6 will fit in this platform.
That actually looks amazing in that blue
Man I want it
Just keep em coming guys! :D
Great to see Zack on Hagarty. Love this car, although the Scat Pack widebody is probably the better car for every day. In Frostbite blue, it would be perfect.
"first 4 door muscle car" what about us Australians? we invented 4 door muscle cars decades ago.
If it didn't happen in America it didn't happen anywhere, clearly 🙄
@@damonreece You Americans are so full of yourselves lol, You can't even accept the fact that Australian engineers beat you to the idea of "4 door performance cars" 50 years ago!
@@joshuamulder5439 he’s being sarcastic, idiot.
@@joshuamulder5439 big brain
@@joshuamulder5439 You mean around the same time as the 4 door chevelle, 4 door nova, 4 door ventura, 4door Dart, 4 door Belvedere , 4 door Satellite, 4 door Coronets, and I believe the 1960 Chevrolet Impala Sport Sedan was more than 50 years ago as was the 1949 Oldsmobile 88, 1966 Coronet Deluxe Hemi, 1968 Ford Thunderbird Fordor Thunder Jet...... Thanks for playing.
Ohh how to forget the general lee charger !!
Ford and Gm ,can't handle it's a savage beast"!!!
O ford could give em the business but unfortunately..ford only makes trucks and SUVs now..and remember the gt40 with a little v6 puts this dodge to shame
I just want a car with roll up windows and manual locks. A 5 speed. No power seats or mirrors. I'm fine with launch control provided I can turn turn it off when I'd like to. I don't want anything fancy. Bluetooth would be my only request. There is a huge segment of us believe it or not. From basic cars all the way up to this powerhouse, we just want a car.
Guess it's a good thing the EPA doesn't get the design cars.
Holy freakin balls , don't give em any ideas 🤣
Ford would have put in a 3.5L EcoBoost, and pump the sound through the speakers.
Actually, the first Chargers were 1964 1/2 models. I knew a guy that actually had one and it was rough. Not the greatest model but damn was it fast!
1966 was the first year for the charger
Yes ,It was on the dodge dart as an option
Sorry ,Robert I should of given you credit first
When we start seeing tgis in Australia?
Hi my good man. The answer is NEVER!😐
"Sold like hotcakes:....There's no accounting for taste I suppose.
And your taste is sooooo exquisite and superb huh Mr High Society
And what is your taste, a soulless Tesla with doors that don't fit properly?
@@hanoimenace When American automakers can produce a good car I'll buy it....Decades later - I'm still waiting.
@@hanoimenace I'm not really a fan of Tesla, but I do find it funny that a mommy mobil like the Model X is faster 0-60 than the claptrap in the video.
Hey, we love our American boats with a shitload of power....leave us alone...😊
I would love to see even a render of a two door charger. I think since it's a massive mercedes sedan chassis the challenger looks way to bulky (and IS way too bulky lol). Would love to see them do a dodge demon/duster with like a n/a 392 that weighs idk 800 pounds less? Lol
Just so glad cars like this exist. Whatever the epa whines and winges about there is a good chance it's probably an awesome car. Boo hoo muh mpg's, whaaah, they're not even a reliable and accurate way of quantifying mileage/efficiency
The first four door muscle car?.... Impala SS and Marauder both already staked claim to that.
alfa romeo, mercedes benz, bmw and nissan did it 1st as well
Slide or Dai!
It's a sad day when Dukes of Hazzard doesn't get a mention for literally putting the Charger on the layman's map.
That show ended 36 years ago.. The world may have moved on a bit..
@@Wirenfeldt1990 By that standard, Bullitt released 53 years ago, 11 years earlier than the Dukes premier, shouldn't have been mentioned either... Which is remembered more for the mustang than it is for the charger.
The confederate flag on top ruined that lol
Sad for who? We have 700+ horsepower sedans that dodge builds that you can just…buy. Is that not enough? Are you not satisfied?
@@Slowwagonftl and now we know the real reason why he didn't mention it...
Yeah, i love Teslas but i also love me a Hellcat
Last of the v8 Interceptors.
But how much longer can they use that old Mercedes chassis?
the front looks a bit like a new impreza wrc. which is not necessarily bad. sadly the back looks awful
He’s in the 303 woot woot
Protagonist
not all protagonists are heroes
Wow, base Model S is cheaper and faster...
Funny. I’ve had two model S and this will be in my garage in 5 weeks. Completely different cars.
Why do you need radar cruise when you can just cruise 20mph over the speed of traffic? You have to remember, this isn't a 'normal' car, it's a muscle car. You get motorcycle rules. You pass everyone. No matter what.
Was there a Charger Demon?
nope
That babi is fast
Don’t forget that the challenger was in BLADE.
Charger.
@@kenik2023 both were 2 door. Same car.
Man, this looks like it was filmed in my backyard...just north of Durango, CO.
Can't wait to see a Charger Demon🤣
Probably not likely. This platform is going on fourteen years old, and Stellantis has already announced this engine isn't going into the next version of the platform.
@@houseofno it was a joke. There is no such thing as a Charger Demon.
@@goodinsrt8 it's no joke these vehicles are going away.
@@houseofno no, it was a joke. Dodge never made a Charger Demon, the Redeye is the highest trim. The guy in the video just didn't do his research.
And wait till the transmission blows give it time wait for it lol
There is no Demon Charger, that was a Challenger.
Lol im pretty sure dodge never made a demon version of the charger! Get your facts right!
Under $100,000🤦🏾♂️ at this point I just buying it for the body. You can build a 1,000HP car for less that $50k.
If Dai didn't buy this car for benchmarking by Japanese car companies....
Who are you, and where's Jason casimina?
Cammisa does videos on Thursdays and he has three different ones: Revelations, ICONS, and Know-It-All.
This video needed Randy Porst
Who?
Nice car but would be good to compare it too a 2017 Hsv Gtsr w1 or a 2016 Ford falcon fgx xr8 sprint
Ship em over and we will!
Loving both hosts. Perfect pair.
Lol reading the EPA ratings like ANYONE considering this car cares AT ALL about the EPA ratings 😝
Just cant get past the "4" doors, love the power / concept, God bless Dodge, but hate the family sedan.
That thumbnail, reminds me of those moments in initial D fifth and final stage, where the cars had auras and disappeared every corner
Edit: yall a bunch of uncultured swines :'(
The 70' and 80' weren't akward it was punished a put on restriction.
That car is Wicked Kool. Unbelievable how MOPAR puts all of these HOT RODS together. And they are for Sale. Just Saying 🇺🇸
That was fun. Would like to try the Bentley 😊 too, Highway Star, Space Trucking, Radar Love. So what can the sound system do?
It`s an AMG for less money...😂😂😁🤣🤣😂😁🤣 AMG 🤣😂🤣......
Big, heavy.
Dodge never produced a Charger Demon
It’s a shame it became a dorky cop fleet car.
zaaaaaaaach!
That was not a launch
👍👍👍🇲🇾
Still think the 2019 looks better. It has these nostrils that make it look like a pit viper
they'll add the nostrils later and call it special edition, lol
The nostrils are still on the narrowbody
Brilliant engine. A shame these cars can't hold a transmission together to save its life. That and most models have as much vehicle security as an unchained, unattended bicycle. Seriously. Thieves are stealing these FROM THE FACTORY.
the old 5 speed auto perhaps. but these ZF 8 speed do take a beating
the 8 speed is a great transmission, the problem with higher trim mopars is traction, especially the rwd versions
@@StockCarGuy Chrysler has a terrible history with their transmission quality control. If you need a high profile example, poor late actor Anton Yelchin was killed when his Jeep rolled out of park and killed him. Numerous recalls for Chrysler transmissions having nothing to do with customers abusing Challengers.
@@houseofno weird, ik sometimes the transmissions don’t shift into park or drive but that’s all i’ve heard from the zf8 speeds
@@Illankid the mercedes 5 speeds from the early 2000s were decent transmissions
crazy that my 420whp BMW m240i has the same 0-60 time lol
Crazy that after that, it gets vaporized by this car.
I think the interior would look much better if they replace the leather for alcantara.
Yeah like a Lancia
Alcantara doesn’t belong on touch points unless you want it to turn into some oily gooey sticky mess
