I've always been a huge mustang fan, and especially the GT500. However I'm not one of those car guys where I hate on anything that isn't a Ford or a mustang. Dodge has done an unbelievable job with the Challenger. Growing up in the 60s would have been unbelievable. To be in the muscle car era growing up would have been a dream come true. That being said I feel that we are equally as lucky living in today's day and age. To have the mustang, challenger, camaro, and Corvettes of today is pretty special. The horsepower that these cars are turning out today is unbelievable. Years down the road there are going to be younger people wishing that they grew up doing this current time. I have a feeling before long we're going to start seeing a reduction in automobiles horsepower and eventually going to Total electric. So in a sense I believe we are living in the last great muscle car era. I'm going to try to sit back and enjoy it for all it's worth.
Well said, I'm partial to Dodge but would take a Camaro or Mustang in a heartbeat. This is the last hurrah for cars like these, big changes are on the horizon, Camaro is being discontinued, Dodge moving away from V8s, we all know electric is coming. In 3 years Ford might be the only v8 being offered along with a slew of other engine choice. One way or the other beasts like the GT500 and Hellcats days are numbered as sad as it is. Cheers
There are fuels coming out that can save the combustion engine. Synthetic fuels are being made that can work in any gas/Diesel engine that have 0 emissions. Hopefully more companies will see this as an alternative to full EV.
Always been a Dodge fan. But I will always tip my hat to anyone with a muscle car regardless of brand. I will always love seeing Cameros, Mustangs, Vettes, Chargers, Challengers on the roads today, carrying the torch of the days of old muscle and will forever hold these memories like our grandfathers and fathers before us.
GT500’s driver here… Thank you Sam for these races and thank you for telling me to change my Roush for this GT500. I’m not bashing my old Roush which is a beast but this beauty is another thing 🔥🔥🔥 thanks to Dane for racing me again, it’s always a pleasure and more seeing you launching that Hellcat!!! Only Few people are capable to do it, UGLY TRUTH 🔥🔥🔥 Sam, find a Red eye or demon, we don’t race to see who’s the best but for chilling lol Peace everyone and be safe!!!
The C8 makes complete sense when you see these cars lauch from a dig. Much respect Sam for knowing your limitations, and letting the owner launch the GT500. Was a much better race for it. You definitely aren't the only one that has a hard time launching that car though. Thanks again
@@gshock3092 ....and the Tesla is an overpriced matchbox toy. If I wanted a car that sounds like a tea kettle, i'd buy one, but I prefer the rumble of a good old V-8
This was a great race! As a Hellcat owner, I love watching Dane launch his Cat flawlessly! Thanks for showing everyone these cars CAN be launched as well as any performance car on unprepped surface! Much respect to the GT500 though; great performance machine!
See. People need to be like you. Owning a hellcat but respecting the Shelby winning and giving respect to it. I’m a ford guy but I agree with you. That guy is great at his launch of the hellcat. It looked like he jumped ahead but it was the mustang guy that was to late. But of course the Shelby caught up and passed him. Much respect to you sir 🫡
I love both cars!!! I own a 01 Z06 with a few mods. I'm selling it for a 2014 GT500. Had 2 mustangs and a 1st generation Lightning. Also this is my 3rd vette. I'm fortunate to have owned these vehicles. The big 3 have great cars with incredible performance right out of the show room. Love them all!!!
Doesnt matter if it’s the fastest muscle car or not but the Shelby GT500 will always be a legendary car all around, the type to make you fall in love at first sight 🔥
@@MMikeHD3904 lmao 💀 nah not in a million years. Rather have a GT500 over a car that gets stolen by low credit score people to do donuts, hits crowds, and stop traffic to cause more traffic, and are overrated.
Could've sworn Ford bought Shelby in 2017 or something so now Shelby guys are Ford. It's still a Shelby. They just moved em in and put Ford stickers on everything.
@Corrie Elieff redeye owner here too i actually test drove a gt500 (was gonna trade in my redeye for it) It definitely felt faster than my redeye but it was extremely uncomfortable with those recaros and im a fairly big guy 6’3 230lbs so I ended up not getting it but yes its faster stock. Throw some upper and lower pulleys and a tune on the redeye and watch it eat the gt500 and do it in comfort 😂
I gotta say as a person who loves cars I’ve been to several car shows and seen lots of demons, and been in those cars, but I finally was able to run into a Mustang cobra at a car show. The man took me for a ride that car was extremely fast. All the car had was a upgraded tune. I don’t know how much power the car was producing but I’ve been in challengers with 1000 hp and that mustang felt like it was past 1000 hp range. that 10 speed transmission is on another level .
I am a huge fan of the Mustang and I'm happy to see that the GT500 took the W but I'm still very impressed by the Hellcat being able to hold off the Mustang for a little while. I love hellcats and camaros but the Mustang will always be my favorite 💙
It took me 2 tries in my fathers 500 lol just gotta know how to drive high hp cars warm the tires for couple secs and feather the throttle not that difficult
@@SamCarLegion that’s facts.. too much power to the wheels to get a solid launch when that down force hits the ground it’s over for your tires 😂😂 spinning out of control before you even launch.. that stall alone will make one lose precious seconds and hard to regain lead

Yes, and dodge goes in higher trims too, but this redeye and gt500 is most similar. And the superstock will pull away from the gt500, they are all beutiful too
Well i can tell ya one thing...i have both the challenger and Shelby.Git the challenger first and then purchased mustang a year later and i must be honest...Im missing my challenger ever day.After a few months of driving the shelby the sheen has wore off.They can say challengers are heavy and big boats but maaaaan they are so comfortable.I miss that my challenger so much now.The shelby and the 6 speed manual are fun at times but the challengers nice seats and automatic is heaven as a daily driver. Trying to get wife to learn to drive manual so i can get back in my challenger a few days a week.😂😂
Everyone saying that the Hellcat Redeye would have been a closer race could not be more WRONG! The GT500 had traction issues with 760hp, do you really think a Redeye with 797hp and more torque than the base hellcat would launch any better than the 2 cars in this video? Spinnin' ain't winnin' and all that Redeye would do is spin!
Just goes to show that diesplacement DOESN'T matter when it comes to engines...boost is boost. I'm boosting my little 4.6 2v and it's gonna see 700whp when it's done lol gonna surprise some people 🤣

Good races by two great cars. It’s not surprising to see the hellkitty get out front on all the races. The TQ on those things are awesome. The 500 on the other hand, up top that thing is screaming!
That stang is a rocket. Beat out of the hole and still gaps that Redeye. Awesome comparison. I've see so many "professionals" ruin comparisons with shit driving. Fixing a driver issue like these guys did is an A++ move
For those who think there Shelby GT-500 predator or there hell cat are faster , well the proof is in this video no prep track on street tire. The 2020 GT-500 predator is faster than the Hellcat period.Thanks! For the great content.🇨🇦🇨🇦👍😎
It’s impressive how well the Hellcat keeps up considering how heavy it is and the fact that it has a torque converter automatic transmission compared to the GT500’a dual clutch 7 speed.
Well it has better setup for drag racing as far as i know, so keeping up isn't that hard, also a torque converter is pretty good compared to a DCT so not really that big of a deal there.
@@raionshishi8290 they’re notorious for being hard to launch so seeing one take off properly is nice, also seeing how well it still stands against the competition 7 years later (the Hellcat debuted in 2015, as you know) and I like seeing it still being relative to the current competition.
@@raionshishi8290 clearly somebody that never drag raced at all. The DCT is so much superior on both launching and keeping lead than torque converter autos
Watch motortrend or the pros they can actually launch both cars and when they do thw shelby pust a bus on the hellcat and 6 to 7 cars on the redeye this mustang launch was terrible and the redeye launch was aight
Thanks for the video, on a different channel "not naming any names" they had the TRX out running the GT500 I just hope they're watching your video. I knew then that wasn't right, the TRX is a bad ass truck but no way can it stand beside the 500.
Hey just want to say I respect you for being man enough to know when you're unable to do something I respect your Channel first time watching it now I'm a subscriber Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's
Idk why they testing an old hellcat vs new gt500. Like obvs mustang will win. It's lighter, more power, and newer. Now try the redeye which would be the actual match up
What a great niche this channel has carved out. There are a lot of great channels that offer a detailed review of cars and I enjoy them ie Matt Maran but if you are not in the market to purchase and just want to enjoy seeing how various cars stack up against one another this is great. I enjoy more and more, real world conditions, everyday drivers etc, its excellent !!
The high reving and the weight advantages made the difference.❤️👍Ford should still make this car it is soo amazing.Ford went from a 760 horsepower track king to the dark horse.Dont get me wrong I'm thankful they build the mustang Gt and darkhorse.They are all wonderful cars🙂
Camaro guy here.. The Hellcat had the jump on every single run and all but the first 1 the Mustang came back and gapped the Cat. Impressive! 👍👍Win or lose I'd rather have the Shelby
A fair race would be with a red eye . Then cost is the same. 90k for the gt500 and a redeye. hellcat is only 70k. we arent racing apples and apples here
As a female, strictly novice in (most, not all) things tech talk, I have always been a FoMoCo fan. I was an avid NASCAR WC fan until my hero, Rusty Wallace retired. I own a 2013 F150 360 and a 2006 Merc Grand Marquis. I will never own a rice wagon Idc how much they are touted for longevity, trade-in value, etc. I was so proud of how this GT500 performed against the Hellcat. In fairness, I love and respect the Dodge brand as well. Even though it pains me to acknowledge that the individual parts mfg of both brands are farmed out to other countries, and that our USA plants are almost limited to final assembly, as opposed to years gone by that the complete manufacturing of the complete vehicle from parts, to the final roll-out of the finished product was all USA. I still feel allegiance to the 'Big Three' as being of the great US of A. Where is Paul Harvey when you need him. God Bless America.
Yeah it’s also the weight and horsepower difference the mustang is pretty lighter than the dodge challenger hellcat. If it was the hellcat redeye then it would be more fair.
here's is the diff from a man that has boxes of ford info since childhood and has saved car/ford info comparison test from car and driver, motortrend,etc since before driving age now i'm 54 and for example in 1987-88 car and driver did a test on the fastest car of 1987 and i think the corvette won the test but in 1987 it cost 30,000 mustang gt was 15,000 had a smaller cube motor weight a little more than vette but had almost as good of numbers as the vette for half the cost and to me that's the bottom line. now that is just a little of the past but now look at the difference. the mustang weighs less, has a overhead cam engine not push-rod is hand built at romeo mich usa engine plant look at the tag on top of engine, says romeo niche-line with builder's signature stamped on it not mexico. car is assembled at flat rock mich usa not canada and HQ is in Dearborn mich usa not somewhere in italy I like Chrysler better than GM. they had done a great job with the charger challenger, viper prowler etc. but I have always liked ford as they have at least tried to make muscle cars affordable thru the years, Bring back the turbo-coupe!! and they try to keep production in usa which is what means the most to me cause if ford goes under so does usa.
@@fmly4life769 added from the factory. Are the 500's mods added at the factory too? I'm not a Challenger fan boy. I just think the Redeye or Demon are more in the GT500 class or category than the regular Hellcat. I'd say the GT350 would take the Hellcat. Probably the proper competitor.
@@venom999333 a gt350 is not in a hellcats class straight lime supercharged versus a track car u don't know nothing about cars.. and a demon is meant for drag strip with a transbrake.. put it against cobrajet and watch what happens. I do believe a redeye is a better comparison but it'd still would lose.
-Intros are taking way too long to get into the action now -2 separate camera angles for the launches are annoying -Not enough runs like the older videos -Finish line slow mo is terrible +Bring back the old intro music +Use better camera angles +More runs with different modes +Get a better camera/microphone that can handle slow mo a lot smoother That being said I am a fan of the channel, I've just noticed some changes lately that have made the videos worse.
Seems the Gt500 keeps spinning the tires in start and up to 3rd gear. I'm so impressed. I knew the Gt500 is the fastest beast out here cause it's a Ford. I do like Dodge for keeping the retro but need to change it up now. It's getting old like the dinosaurs. Gt500 has broken the Vipers records on a few road courses.
Not sure where you live but that definitely doesn't happen in South Florida. Lots of guys running real tires on drag setups here. A 400hp Anything wouldn't even be seen from space😂
@@SamCarLegion First of all, I'm just commenting. I'm not throwing shades. I'm just saying a Redeye would be closer. Seems like you read it as me telling you that you should use a Redeye instead?

For those who think there Shelby GT-500 predator or there hell cat are faster , well the proof is in this video no prep track on street tire. The 2020 GT-500 predator is faster than the Hellcat period.Thanks! For the great content.🇨🇦🇨🇦👍😎
That first mustang driver is better of driving a golf cart. Those cars are ment for professional drivers.
That guy driving the Mustang sounded like Xena warrior princess when he passed that Hellcat 😂😆😂
😂😂💯
😂 Exactly
@@timothyabu lololol
I've literally seen better go-cart races than this. Race like you mean it!
It’s impressive how well the Hellcat keeps up considering how heavy it is and the fact that it has a torque converter automatic transmission compared to the GT500’a dual clutch 7 speed.
Well it has better setup for drag racing as far as i know, so keeping up isn't that hard, also a torque converter is pretty good compared to a DCT so not really that big of a deal there.
@@raionshishi8290 they’re notorious for being hard to launch so seeing one take off properly is nice, also seeing how well it still stands against the competition 7 years later (the Hellcat debuted in 2015, as you know) and I like seeing it still being relative to the current competition.
@@raionshishi8290 clearly somebody that never drag raced at all. The DCT is so much superior on both launching and keeping lead than torque converter autos
Watch motortrend or the pros they can actually launch both cars and when they do thw shelby pust a bus on the hellcat and 6 to 7 cars on the redeye this mustang launch was terrible and the redeye launch was aight
Excuse me hellcat
Just from intro
Mustang: burnout, all of the cameo, 50 revs
Challenger: 3 peek a boo's and 2 revs
Clear bias lol. Good vid
Hellcat would win every round if Sam was driving the Shelby .
6:20 - the habibi yell had me rolling lmao
The Ford Mustang 500 GT is a very beautiful car. If you think I am completely biased, you are so correct!
Really miss your old format. HP/TQ figures and power to weight ratio clear and visible towards the beginning.
Ya he changes the format constantly and it feels like its going downhill in production aspects...
Mustang owners.
Remember.
There's a one second delay on the launch controls!
Thanks for the video, on a different channel "not naming any names" they had the TRX out running the GT500 I just hope they're watching your video. I knew then that wasn't right, the TRX is a bad ass truck but no way can it stand beside the 500.
The TRX does from a dig. AWD is no joke. Once the GT500 hooks us though the TRX gets obliterated.
Gt 500 just needed a good driver. 👍 easy win for ford
They should have used the Demon as opposed to the Hellcat
Gt500 has 43 more horsepower and weighs 300lbs less I'm not sure what you thought would happen
Hey just want to say I respect you for being man enough to know when you're unable to do something I respect your Channel first time watching it now I'm a subscriber Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's
Run 1.. you don't know anything about vehicles. RUN 2.. THANK YOU MY G! All the rolls thank you for representing.
While I prefer the Shelby, Hellcats are amazing. I love everything about these cars.
Even with a bad start Mustang still won Impressive
Idk why they testing an old hellcat vs new gt500. Like obvs mustang will win. It's lighter, more power, and newer. Now try the redeye which would be the actual match up
The driver change and the hellcat get slow
@@Exhausted707 what more could change about the challenger? They retuned it or it got a transmission revision?
Lots and lots of gas ⛽️ was wasted today 😫🙌🏼🤙🔥💯
Tell me about it
Totally worth it :D
Such an LEGENDARY race , should have been on public tv
Exactly
Why don’t they make these things AWD ? They’re always slipping and sliding and could never really floor it at takeoff and put all the power down.
I'd take the Shelby no hesitation i prefer track cars
What a great niche this channel has carved out. There are a lot of great channels that offer a detailed review of cars and I enjoy them ie Matt Maran but if you are not in the market to purchase and just want to enjoy seeing how various cars stack up against one another this is great. I enjoy more and more, real world conditions, everyday drivers etc, its excellent !!
Should've gotten the Redeye Sam, would've been more interesting 🔥🔥
Can u find one?
No it wouldnt ... There are enough videos in the internet of this ...At this point GT500 is just the faster car.
@@SamCarLegion I can if you live in the Middle East 🙂
The red eye would been a better race
@@843MudMafia. can we use yours?
Should of been the redeye instead of regular hellcat but enjoyed the race
The high reving and the weight advantages made the difference.❤️👍Ford should still make this car it is soo amazing.Ford went from a 760 horsepower track king to the dark horse.Dont get me wrong I'm thankful they build the mustang Gt and darkhorse.They are all wonderful cars🙂
Camaro guy here..
The Hellcat had the jump on every single run and all but the first 1 the Mustang came back and gapped the Cat. Impressive! 👍👍Win or lose I'd rather have the Shelby
It's weird seeing a hellcat leave the line before anything else
LMAOO
I have left plenty of hellcats collecting dust as their cars spin the wheels while I just pulled away at the light with half the horsepower
@@SpyderRios but you drive a Civic and that sucks lol
@@SpyderRios in what car😂😂😂
@@kylegallant3423 A Civic doesn't have half a Hellcat's horsepower come on bro 😂
The new performance cars sound so raspy compared to the old school deep roar.
A fair race would be with a red eye . Then cost is the same. 90k for the gt500 and a redeye. hellcat is only 70k. we arent racing apples and apples here
so what's the time at quarter mile for both cars? I want to know how it stacks up against my 2023 M240i. Thanks.
Sam, Shelby hasn’t built the Mustang since the 60s. Ford Motor Company builds the Shelby GT 500. Special vehicle team. (SVT)
Well his last mustang was the 2011 GT500 before passing , idk if you’d count that one since then
Ford performance
SVT is no more. As the other person said, it's Ford Performance.
@@1470boyz no his last was the 2014
6:18 is the highlight of the video🤣🤣🤣
One things for sure those are two absolutely beautiful engines
Now let’s see which one can make a turn the fastest. I’ll take the GT500. Straight line is a matter of who launches the best
As a female, strictly novice in (most, not all) things tech talk, I have always been a FoMoCo fan. I was an avid NASCAR WC fan until my hero, Rusty Wallace retired. I own a 2013 F150 360 and a 2006 Merc Grand Marquis. I will never own a rice wagon Idc how much they are touted for longevity, trade-in value, etc. I was so proud of how this GT500 performed against the Hellcat. In fairness, I love and respect the Dodge brand as well. Even though it pains me to acknowledge that the individual parts mfg of both brands are farmed out to other countries, and that our USA plants are almost limited to final assembly, as opposed to years gone by that the complete manufacturing of the complete vehicle from parts, to the final roll-out of the finished product was all USA. I still feel allegiance to the 'Big Three' as being of the great US of A. Where is Paul Harvey when you need him. God Bless America.
Rusty was my fave too.
you love and respect dodge for what? crappy transmissions or the K car
@@shadowofnoc5760 I like Dick Trickle TBH
707 HP on the narrow body Cat.. which is a 2018 or older. I'll race you in my 22 widebody Charger Redeye. Would be a much better race.
Sure, just join us. DM on IG
You'd still lose to the GT500...
@@yusufgta4341 would still like to see it lol
You will still loose to the gt500
@@shelbygt500miranda7 idk, it beat the regular hellcat 2 out of 3 but not by much. The red eye with another 90hp would be interesting
Double clutch auto is untouchable in gt500
"This thing won of course, as expected. "
Best sentence of the whole video !!! 💣
I have mad respect for Hellcats of course, but those GT500's just look SO GOOD! What a sexy car.
It seems like hellcat always loses Everytime they race anything.😔
Yeah it’s also the weight and horsepower difference the mustang is pretty lighter than the dodge challenger hellcat. If it was the hellcat redeye then it would be more fair.
Facts
The mustang is also a more sophisticated vehicle and doesn't have an ancient chasis
I'd still take the Challenger, bigger and more reminiscent of the old muscle
The reaction time of the guy driving the Shelby weighed as much as the hellcat 🤣
One of the best sports cars to have and own.
here's is the diff from a man that has boxes of ford info since childhood and has saved car/ford info comparison test from car and driver, motortrend,etc since before driving age now i'm 54 and for example in 1987-88 car and driver did a test on the fastest car of 1987 and i think the corvette won the test but in 1987 it cost 30,000 mustang gt was 15,000 had a smaller cube motor weight a little more than vette but had almost as good of numbers as the vette for half the cost and to me that's the bottom line. now that is just a little of the past but now look at the difference. the mustang weighs less, has a overhead cam engine not push-rod is hand built at romeo mich usa engine plant look at the tag on top of engine, says romeo niche-line with builder's signature stamped on it not mexico. car is assembled at flat rock mich usa not canada and HQ is in Dearborn mich usa not somewhere in italy I like Chrysler better than GM. they had done a great job with the charger challenger, viper prowler etc. but I have always liked ford as they have at least tried to make muscle cars affordable thru the years, Bring back the turbo-coupe!! and they try to keep production in usa which is what means the most to me cause if ford goes under so does usa.
Now try a super stock vs the gt500 😈
Or a demon or redeye
@@zurielthompson6420 for real. Putting ford (and Shelby)s best mustang up against a base hellcat.
I’m saying like if your gonna put fords best mustang than meet dodge half way like wtf that’s like putting a mustang gt to a hellcat
How about vs a cobra jet.
@@S550GOD not a street legal car. Try a drag pack 🤣
When he said he’d put it in track mode, I WAS SO TRIGGERED. Why not put it in DRAGSTRIP mode?
Hey Hellcat everyone gets lucky once.... sorry buddy.2 very very impressive powers in the future 2 thumbs up👍👍 good job guys ...I still ❤️my FORD'S
This just shows no matter what you got it all comes down to the skill of the driver.
The mustang horse power 😈😈😈
Redeye or Demon 😈 against the GT500. Same GT500 owner tho. Wanna see him make noises again...lol
literally hahaha
👍
Demon has added mods same can be done to the GT500 and bye bye Demon
@@fmly4life769 added from the factory. Are the 500's mods added at the factory too? I'm not a Challenger fan boy. I just think the Redeye or Demon are more in the GT500 class or category than the regular Hellcat. I'd say the GT350 would take the Hellcat. Probably the proper competitor.
@@venom999333 a gt350 is not in a hellcats class straight lime supercharged versus a track car u don't know nothing about cars.. and a demon is meant for drag strip with a transbrake.. put it against cobrajet and watch what happens. I do believe a redeye is a better comparison but it'd still would lose.
-Intros are taking way too long to get into the action now
-2 separate camera angles for the launches are annoying
-Not enough runs like the older videos
-Finish line slow mo is terrible
+Bring back the old intro music
+Use better camera angles
+More runs with different modes
+Get a better camera/microphone that can handle slow mo a lot smoother
That being said I am a fan of the channel, I've just noticed some changes lately that have made the videos worse.
Can’t make everyone happy bud
Agreed , production content is going backwards
Seems the Gt500 keeps spinning the tires in start and up to 3rd gear. I'm so impressed. I knew the Gt500 is the fastest beast out here cause it's a Ford. I do like Dodge for keeping the retro but need to change it up now. It's getting old like the dinosaurs. Gt500 has broken the Vipers records on a few road courses.
I likely doubt the gt500 bet the viper acr times the acr has the downforce of a race car
@@dor1tomcswagger69 then your a dumbazz that can't read.
The gt500 hasn’t beaten one Viper ACR time. Not one.
@@eldiablort1461 your on drugs. Need read and get some education dumbazz.
Grattan race way beat Viper ACR if you idiot's can read. Oh that's just 1 road course. Gt500 beating it on few road courses.
Driver is most important thing in race ☠️
The critical element is the skill of the driver, as seen in this video!
If they would of done a 50 or 60 roll the GT500 would of put a monster gap on the Dodge!
1500 hp between them...and a 400hp Audi RS3 will smoke them by a dozen car lengths from a dig on any street
Can’t compare rwd to awd on a dig
Not sure where you live but that definitely doesn't happen in South Florida. Lots of guys running real tires on drag setups here. A 400hp Anything wouldn't even be seen from space😂
Uh I don't know about the Mustang
Haha no it won’t hellcat with proper tires will beat that Audi. Even a trackhawk will smoke that rs3
It'd win to 60MPH, and that's it.
Need a Redeye for the Hellcat to be closer.
Lend us yours?
And still loose lol
@@SamCarLegion First of all, I'm just commenting. I'm not throwing shades. I'm just saying a Redeye would be closer. Seems like you read it as me telling you that you should use a Redeye instead?
@@joshgutierrez7380 Maybe, who knows. It might come down to drivers, tires or which hooked the quickest.
@@Marlon_J why bother? If I had one do you think I wouldn’t use it? Plus so many already out there.
It always depends on the Driver! You can have the Best car,fastest & more Power but If You Don't know how to drive 2+2 isn't 6!!! Good video though...
The exhaust note on the Challenger is so much better to my ears
That was an awesome battle cry that gave the GT500 a boost.
