You can't tune an EV, you can tune and modify and upgrade, and more freely customize like you can with a Muscle Car, Muscle Car will always be on top, and lots of people don't keep their Muscle cars stock so they are gonna win against an EV no problem. So the pile of electric garbage should just stay in the garbage.

@@concinnus I watched a different review elsewhere and the dodge engineer told them it was the same across all models, just software unlocks between them
EV's batteries cannot hold charge well, so give it a couple years and all owners will be out $10k-$20k because their junk can't go north of 80% charge and will need new batteries.
Ummm. Gasoline engine vehicles continue to decline year after year since 2018. EV sales increasing year after year in double digits. Your statement is 100% false.
What a stupid car. Chevy makes a 1,000hp twin turbo v8. Ford puts v8’s in the mustang. Dodge: “the regulations are making us go EV 😭” They just don’t want to pay taxes.
Both Ford and GM have way more economy cars to level out their fleet numbers. Also look at the emissions numbers on the sticker of any Hemi powered vehicle. It rates at a 0. The Ford and V8 rate better than that. The Hemi is just a dirty design, and they need to design a cleaner V8 if they want to avoid paying those penalties. They could also diversify their vehicle line up with economy vehicles like the used to. Remember the Dodge Neon and other small vehicles that they used to sell? They shot themselves in the foot by only offering Hemi V8 and Pentastar V6 engines.
I'm the minority in here. I like EVs. I also like ICE vehicles. I like all cars. but this speaker exhaust thing is plain stupid. for an EV, the performance and range is not class leading for its over priced-price point. they nailed the look though
I’m a car guy. Mainly BMWs … but I would consider buying this in a heart beat. It just looks like fun. Currently own own a PHEV BMW. Not having to gas up every week is awesome. If you own a garage you’re golden. Simply plug it in at home.
I love the 2 door hatchback configuration. Better than boring EV crossover designs so prevalent today. But why is this car using old tech? CCS and a hefty battery pack are holding it back.
"off road" markers...dammit Motortrend those are wide vehicle markings. You see them on every semi truck, dump truck, garbage truck, etc you ever see and you still get it wrong.
A V6 can be a muscle car with RWD and the right styling to match the torque. An AWD car can be a muscle car with a big enough V8. An EV with all-wheel drive just can't be a muscle car.
Some e.v.s sound cool under hard acceleration ion know who more manufacturers used its natural sound.. let things be what they naturally are if we wanna quick EV we,d buy a Tesla plaid
Some how you've made me hate it more with this video. Not even a mention of the Hurricane inline 6. Also hearing "Cheelinger" over and over didn't help.
Great looking car, just needs an injection of the Ioniq 5N gear change mode ( and a burnout mode) - 1000lb heavier than a model S, boy thats been eating a lot of burgers!
no burn outs, no gears, no emotion, no burnout, fake exhaust note.. and they want us to think its a muscle car lol

@ from what I can find the red eye does 11.8-12 seconds 1/4. It’s only faster if you modify it with aftermarket rims and slicks.

How does Stellantis not understand that the people who buy EVs and the people who buy Chargers are WORLDS APART
That’s why there’s both versions. You can get EV or gasoline. Choose what’s best for you.
They're obviously trying to bridge that gap.
There's also a 3rd category - people who complain endlessly in youtube that can't afford either.
My model y longe range blow that thing away. $30k less also.
Maybe why going bankrupt
Im just waiting for somebody to put a hellcat engine in it
Why? It's ugly AF
@mattstone8878 😂
They'll release the primary concept designs down the road. They always have the watered down design release first
You'll need more then just the engine, would have 2 be more like a body swap 😊
And how would that fix over 5,000 lbs, 206" long and 80" wide?
It looks great, but the fake exhaust noise and the massive curb weight is not good IMO.
Curb weight is unavoidable, but they need to get rid of that stupid speaker.
@@brianwahlstrom you can turn it off

Artificial sounds are just...sad. Stop it.
how many watts is your exhaust
Only 400 but I'm waiting on an amp and subwoofer from ebay
Can’t wait to lease one for 299 a month around July when they all start stacking up on dealer lots.
This is insane to find out that it doesn’t do burnouts. This is just diabolical.
Same motors in all the cars so the trim packages are literally just software barriers? That’s crazy. They’re up charging for software unlocking.
Buy the base model, wait for some Eastern European hacker to jail break it and tune it up.
Companies sell detuned versions of the same engines already. Not completely the same but the same.

Wait about 6 months, but it used for 15k, take out the electric bullshit, drop in a HEMI.😁
We waited 20 years for a 2 door "New" Charger and they made it ev....😑
Yup, such a fail
They're literally making an ICE version too
The farts in the car still smell the same, EV or ICE, dont matter.
@@Villani_AV straight six twin turbo is missing the point massively
It is unfortunate that in 2006 when it came out in a 4 door . Took away from what most of us knew

No thanks.
Wonder if Kicker,JBL or Bose will come up with larger exhaust speakers and amps…. What a waste
Such a beautiful car for them to mess it up with an electric motor
Every car was new at one point 😂 what do you mean such a new car
@ lol I wrote that to fast ha edited it
Awesome looking vehicle just too bad it doesn't have a gasoline engine in it.
They are wrong on this, it can do a burnout. It’s got a mode that shifts power only to the rear. Please look it up if you don’t believe me
From what I've seen elsewhere, it just depowers the front, doesn't add any power to the rear.
It LOOKS great I have to admit that
Haha that startup sound..."To the Batmobile! Atomic batteries to power, turbines to speed...ready to move out." Right. Please.
Finally a Charger no one wants to steal.
I hope Tim can save us from this bs
Time and progress only moves in one direction, we are not going back to the twentieth century!
And in 8 to 10 years how well will the battery hold a charge? How much will a battery replacement cost?
hold put pretty good all i lost was like 5% of range car works just as it was new
EV's batteries cannot hold charge well, so give it a couple years and all owners will be out $10k-$20k because their junk can't go north of 80% charge and will need new batteries.

Everything about the car is just terrible specially the design!..

did they fix all the software issues or are they still turning into bricks on the dealer lot?

No burnouts oh ohhh 😯😐
The more I see this car the more I think they would have just been better off doing a hybrid instead of a full EV
Dodge missed the ball. They could've made it sound like the Turbo Interceptor from the movie The Wraith. A fodge concept car anyway called the M4S.
Please please don’t go buy one I want inventory to stack up so I can get a good lease deal
I've seen less powerful Teslas do burnouts. And go faster. and further. and charge faster. for cheaper.
but that thing is incredibly good looking.
Teslas are boring as 💩. And built like 💩 as well.
HARD PASS

The charging curve is more important than peak rates. Some cars have high peak rates that then drop quickly.

Wouldn't a neutral channel cover all vehicles regardless of fuel type? Maybe you feel too emotionally invested in what power train people choose?
Straight Pipes and Throttle House gives a more accurate and unbiased review of this vehicle
Dude keeps comparing it to the “old Challenger”. It’s a Charger that replaced the “old Charger”. What am I missing here?
Only way to spin the back wheels is to put it in drift mode. Which knocks the hp down to 330 hp on the scat pack. Thats 2006 rt numbers if not less.
Already threw my phone into a pond, I’m using my laptop 😠
5900lbs? Man can someone retro mod these. Strip it and put an ICE in it and Rio it around everywhere. I LOVE THE DESIGN THO
everyone complaining about fake noises because that is what they get in the bedroom.
I am a mopar guy but this electric stunt is like what Ford did with its Lightning pickup.
This gives you classic muscle car vibes? U ok?
I’m happy this exists, just so I’ll be able to walk past it at the dealership and drool over the four-door ICE version.
Can’t wait for the hot roders to buy these and swap a hellcat hemi into it.
Looks amazing and that color is awesome

still rocking with my 2008 RT. For the sake of not mode needed to burn out. just a break peddle and a gas peddle
I don’t see the beautiful icon wing?
Maybe donut mode can offset the lack of burnouts 🤷♂️
It’s cool but they should’ve put the charge port under the license plate because it’s a muscle car it looks good tho
Imagine when someone figures out how to get by the arbitrary software limitation. You won’t need to buy the more expensive RT version.
