Years from now, this car will be hailed as the most powerful muscle car in the modern technology era. Im a mustang dude but Dodge has really outdone the car world. props to them..!
This is the first Hellcat Video I've seen that doesn't involve tire smoke. Great review as always, and I need a Hellcat, more so than I did before I watched this.
Having driven the hell out of a 2012 R/T Classic for three years, I can't even imagine driving the perfection that is the Hellcat. All Challenger prayers answered. You are a lucky man to have spent so much time with that car. Challengers slide like a minx around corners if so incline, and do truly handle like a super car. Thinking about what the R/T does, and imagining the Hellcat... infinite enjoyment and usability. I bet it smelled amazing in there. Goddamn. I have to go take a cold shower. Good review.
CrackityJones Nothing, yeah ..... What about Audi rs 5, bmw m6 , mercedes benz s class coupé amg, bmw m4, mercedes benz c class coupé amg, mercedes benz e class coupé I'd say there is some choice.
The Audi s5, and e class Amg, and the m3 are the only good european muscle cars. You guys have better super cars but we have better muscle. Its as simple as that.
+Sore loser who spends huge amounts of his time posting comments on RUclips. gt350r runs 12.0sec 1/4mile. hellcat does it in around 11.3 so gt350r doesn't have shit and it only 526hp
MrGrandetaco707 mustang has a flat-plane v8 that redlines to 8,000. horsepower isn't everything. the hellcat is faster but the mustang is more track-oriented, which is better for me.
***** And the best part is, that's the stock exhaust! Dodge really nailed the sound, it sounds about as close to an angry animal as a car will get. They gave the 392 an amazing sound as well for 2015! But that supercharger whine
It is insane, that's one of the reasons I love them! I've always been a Mopar guy and when Dodge produces a car like the Hellcats and the Viper, I'm reminded why. Yes the Viper was too expensive for 2013 and 2014 so lowering the price by 15k made a huge difference and made it a much more competitive car! There are few cars out there that can match the personality of the Viper, if any can. It's just so sinister looking and one of the fastest American cars every produced. So glad they put it back under the Dodge brand too and canned the whole SRT brand idea, I never understood why they did that instead of keeping it a division. Anyway, this car is amazing and I'm looking to get a Scat Pack Shaker as my next car! Hellcat is too expensive right now and even the SRT 392 is out of my budget but the Scat Packs are a bargain!
I'm sure the veyron was your dream car before this came out. Because speed is everything you know and it must be fun going Around corners fast in a 4900 pound car. Go merica.
Sure, because a car that goes above 2 million is something I'll be able to buy. That's more of a fantasy than anything else. My previous dream car was the 911. Btw, I'm not even from the US. Go prejudice!
This has been my dream car for 3 years now, and guess what, I finally got one 1 month ago. Was a 2016 model, 6-speed manual, 1059 miles, so basically brand new. Was a demo car for about a year. $55k and I couldn't be happier. The car is in immaculate condition. Good things come to those who work hard and who are persistent. I hope you all got your dream cars or working on it.
This car is amazing. Between the sound system and the power output of the vehicle combo, i would be in total love with that car. When i get one, im naming her Lucille
Just wanted to note that regardless what you think about the SRT Hellcat Challenger in this video, I think everyone can agree that Saabkyle04 does the most thorough review on the interwebs. This guy goes into EVERYTHING. Well paced. Well spoken. Very knowledgeable. Overall an outstanding review of this vehicle. You could buy this car sight unseen and feel very comfortable that you knew exactly what you were getting. Well played sir, well played.
Muzibour Rehman It's all unrelated but people just have to ''compare and contrast'' in spite of positive comments about the Challenger above of course.
Great review Kyle! My dad has a Hellcat and I'm fortunate enough to get to drive it. It is an amazing car that does not pretend to be something it's not. It's the most fun car I've ever driven! You nailed it.
Totally love the new Challenger, it looks so badass! Especially the Hellcat version. I'm not American but i can fully understand why Dodge put 707 hp into a heavy muscle car
Dodge should have put a lot more badging on the hellcat so it's easily distinguishable from the v6. If I pay for a hellcat, I sure as hell don't want it to look remotely like the v6.
stgz13 It looks absolutely nothing like the v6 in the body lol... The hood, taillights, and hell...even the wheels are wider. For anyone who is looking or paying any attention with eyes or ears its obvious.
I hear you but it looks like a hellcat and not a v6, RT. The tires, hood, and the exhaust separates itself from the rest and it's noticeable. Even Stevie Wonder can point out an Hellcat. Now the standard SRT yes maybe. But I do understand u, if you pay that much it should have way more badging. The cat symbol should be on the grill as well on how it is on the 3 quarter panels. But you can more to it, like a window decal front or back.
+stgz13 Anybody who knows anything about cars will know immediately that this is a Hellcat. I can spot Hellcats a quarter mile away on the highway by the front fascia and hood scoop. In my opinion, subtle is more impressive. Decals and excess badges remind me of teenagers ricing out their cars.
When I had the Challenger V6 as my rental in the states, I thought: This really needs more power. Seems like they've got that covered with the Hellcat haha :D Amazing review as always ***** , glad to see you do this full time now and bring as so much content !
***** Besides being a huge car guy too, I also have an interest in pharmaceutical stuff like drug interactions for example. A really interesting topic as well IMO
i don't know about how this car compares to other super cars, but that sound... wow, i love it, this is the best sounding car i've heard. i so want to drive a dodge challenger.
Great review ***** ! That is one badass car! Btw, is there a specific reason you have "Saab" in your youtube name? I am Swedish by birth, hence the question ;)
Turbos do not lag anymore. People that think turbos still lag have not driven modern twin scroll, bi-turbos or twin turbo engines. Turbo don't rob any engine power. Turbos> Supercharges
Alex Baker Idk what it is, but I've just been a big fan of superchargers, you also don't lose some of the raw exhaust sound. I completely understand the benefit of turbos though, driven many myself.
Turbos not robbing any power is a myth that I wish people would stop perpetuating. Until they fully spool, they are a massive exhaust restriction. Granted, once spinning, they more than make up for the restriction they caused, but a supercharger also more than counteracts it's parasitic drain as well.
Turbos lag. It's just the way they work. It's not much but it's still there. And this is coming from somebody who drives a 335i with the "lag free" N54.
Thank you for in depth review of the Hellcat. I ordered one in October 2014 and just received word that it will be built third week of May. The only difference between the car you reviewed and mine is that I went with the Pearl Black exterior color and "old school" 6 speed manual transmission. I'm definitely looking forward to this summer!
Zoe Thompson Owner of a Hellcat ran 10.86@127 on DRs (challengertalk.com). GT500 w/ 662HP (quite a bit more than 500HP) ran 11.25@127 on DRs. Your statement is a lie and you know it.
The Challenger Hellcat is brutally fast GT car that can fit 5 adults comfortably. It's larger than the M6 and slightly smaller than the CL/S coupe, yet I don't hear anyone complaining about those cars' lackluster laptimes. That being said, it still handles confidently and predictably for a large coupe as Justin Bell demonstrates at Big Willow in the Hellcat Unleashed video. It also makes 830 crank hp/706 rwhp with just a tune.
This is the video that made me seriously consider buying one. I’d still be driving my 06 gto if he never posted this. I own a 2018 model now. Thanks saabkyle.
With the top of 128 (2008-2011) for Crown Victorias, and the Taurus being slightly higher, and other low horsepower police cars, the Dodge Challenger Hellcat would definitely have an advantage, but it would not last long.
***** The Mustang Boss 302 has 2 keys, not a "Valet" key like this, but the opposite. It has a TracKey that changes the ECM software for variable cam timing, spark maps, fuel control and 200 other settings.
track features mostly means stiffer suspension and heavy steering plus quick brutal shift. so it totally fine and yes its more of drag car but drag racing don't know what all this means! the thing is you complained about track mode and didn't even mention that ECO mode!! what were they thinking lol.
Hey I remember meeting you there that day at North Point! Was waiting for this video. Really loved checking that thing out in person and hearing that monster.
I'm generally not a fan of all this new touchscreen technology mumbo-jumbo, but the one found here is pretty damn sweet. Very straight forward and useful. Just like the Hellcat.
So...I hope I can ask this, or am I too late? You've driven the SRT 392 and now the Hellcat, yet your review never discusses the dynamic differences. How much different does the Hellcat feel off the line? How much faster does the Hellcat feel from 60 MPH? I know both are crazy fast, but I think the differences in performance would interest a LOT of people. The SRT 392 has a few advantages, but the 200+ HP advantage is big, so what were your impressions??? FANTASTIC review! Better than C&D or R&T again.
Robert Brody Thanks buddy! The Hellcat is faster, no doubt about it, but it doesn't feel a whole lot different from the 392 in normal driving around town. Driving them on the track will really be able to answer your questions, but sadly I don't have an avenue for that :/ At speed, the hellcat has a lot more pulling power, I was barely able to really get it going on public roads, have to remember safety. The challenger rides a bit stiffer than the charger, but at the end of day I thought they were comparable. The Challenger feels like an old school muscle car with modern tech.
***** Thanks for the response. I have a Charger SRT 392 coming in about a week. After driving the SRT 392 Challenger and SP versions, I really felt that it was insane power already. I also figured the SRT 392 was a better cruiser because it's quieter and may also have a tiny edge in handling. I still may get a Hellcat in a year, but I don't know if the extra power would get any use in real world driving, as you point out. These cars really stand out from the crowd, have unusual practicality and crazy power. I test drove the M5 and I actually had more fun with the SRT 392! It simply felt more visceral. Now if they can just give me an AWD SRT 392 I won't even want a Hellcat. Again, thanks for a great video. It's VERY well done. I wish other reviewers were half as thorough.
Robert Brody I really appreciate that! If I were putting down the money, I'd take the 392 I had, same color scheme probably. While cool, you won't get to use that extra power on city streets. The 392 is just an all around great package. Enjoy!
Well...I'm now looking into trading my SRT 392 for a Hellcat. My dealer is trying to make it happen. I love the 392, but I figure life is short! Keep up the great reviews.
Never would I buy this car with an automatic. I don't think I could feel comfortable giving full throttle to this 700+ horsepower, rear-wheel drive, supercharged muscle car literally called the Hellcat with a computer shifting the gears. That, and I just don't care for automatics to begin with. I know there are paddle shifters but that still is not the same. Great car, love it, but an automatic is an absolute no from me no matter how advanced it is. It sounds like an accident waiting to happen just saying it. It's absolutely critical that they offer a manual transmission, and I'm very glad they do.
I tried to race one of these in my '02 Maxima Needless to say I lost badly That fucker was like a rocketship. And while this car sounds good on video, it sounds way better in person. My adrenaline started pumping just from hearing the car scream.
Im 17 years old and ive always wanted this as my dream car, but yesterday i was out in the city with my friends and i saw one and it sparked up my need to own this car even more😂😂
Hi Kyle, great review :) sadly you can´t do top speed runs due to the speed limit on american highways. For all of you who are interested in a top speed run with the Hellcat on the German Autobahn, here´s our video: ruclips.net/video/Rr0wH3o6yZM/видео.html
I think cars reflect national characteristics: Italian cars are good looking,flamboyant and quick.German cars are reliable,precise and well made.French cars are stylish and comfortable.Swedish are by-word for safety.Japanese cars are hard working(big milage) and are precise as well. ....... American cars are fat,cheap,not very maneuverable,unintelligent...
samsonpker how wrong you are. Blood sugar and me do not have the slightest wish to be from the United States. The hellcat looks nothing as good as the European muscle cars. Europe is a place of culture and intelligent design while the USA are an embarrassment to design and arts that the British are happy to have left.
samsonpker I thought you knew your facts. The Brits got kicked out in the Independence War, not the civil war. The Maserati Gran Turismo looks much better than the he llcat although pricier.
Yes thanks kyle I have been wanting you to do a review on hellcat for a long time I have watched other reviews on it but I like your reviews and I feel like I get more from your reviews this made my day
Anybody who gets the upgrade Harmon Kardon sound system on a Hellcat should be shot. All the music you ever need is when you push the start button and floor the gas pedal :)
+Victor W No not shot, no no that's too merciful, but the car should be taken away from him, he doesn't need to own that car, he should immediately be handed the key to a datsun, immediately!
+Victor W lol you obviously haven't heard the HK systems in person. To put it in perspective, imagine a world class symphony. In your car. They are THAT good. By far the greatest stereo company in the world that's actually reachable. They make Bose look like complete chumps.
It looks like this Hellcat has a smooth ride. Is the suspension stiff to where it will beat up the occupants on a bumpy road? Is this Hellcat comfortable riding and good for long trips or would the SXT be better for that?
The suspension in street mode is quite comfortable. Long trips would not be an issue as I travel 1200 mile one way trips to visit family. The track mode is noticeably stiff, so the different modes really do change the cars characteristics. This car in street mode is way more comfortable than both the evos I've owned and a BMW M2 I had, but that's not great comparisons compared to those ultra stiff cars, but you'll be comfortable in this car.
Bender, you have a manual on this car and 2 things are gonna possibly happen. 1. Abused clutch 2. You will get destroyed on speed by the automatic version because it shifts wayyyy faster than a human.
JuanCarlos CastilloDisla Nobody will deny a transmission with flappy paddles can shift faster than a human with a stickshit, but speed isn't everything. Part of the fun of driving a car like this is using a proper manual.
Most of theguys hating on this vehicle are driving a 2005 car and can not afford this hellcat , stop hating cuz you cantt have it , its a beautiful and powerful and a v8 car those are the only 3 things a man needs in his car
Fuck the North Virginia battle flag as that flag on top of the general lee is not the Confederate flag.....The Confederate flag is all white with the stars and bars in the upper left-hand corner but since were talking about the real confederate flag fuck that too.........
+John Moore haha fk yeah! They should make a D of H version. No touch screen stripped out interior and a Marshall Quad box instead of a back seat. And the NEW ZEALAND flag across the roof!!!
Mateus Mendes Look, I am a die hard mustang fan. I used to talk alot of shit about dodge, but the challenger has a meaner look and not some fusion looking sports car they car "mustang."
Just got my Hellcat boys
Angel Castellanos what colour?
What colour? lol
what colour?
color??
Color?
Years from now, this car will be hailed as the most powerful muscle car in the modern technology era. Im a mustang dude but Dodge has really outdone the car world. props to them..!
Just like all the older muscle cars itll be a peice of history. "This is how cars were when i was 20"
You were right bro
God damn were you right
Damn right On the fucking money
You were right bro
omg that super charger sound is so lovely , I can listen to it all day
This is the first Hellcat Video I've seen that doesn't involve tire smoke. Great review as always, and I need a Hellcat, more so than I did before I watched this.
Shane Serpico Haha I would have liked some but still have to respect property that isn't mine haha.
Having driven the hell out of a 2012 R/T Classic for three years, I can't even imagine driving the perfection that is the Hellcat. All Challenger prayers answered. You are a lucky man to have spent so much time with that car. Challengers slide like a minx around corners if so incline, and do truly handle like a super car. Thinking about what the R/T does, and imagining the Hellcat... infinite enjoyment and usability.
I bet it smelled amazing in there.
Goddamn.
I have to go take a cold shower.
Good review.
One of my favorite things about the USA. The American muscle car.
Nothing like these in europe comes close.
CrackityJones Nothing, yeah .....
What about Audi rs 5, bmw m6 , mercedes benz s class coupé amg, bmw m4, mercedes benz c class coupé amg, mercedes benz e class coupé
I'd say there is some choice.

This car....this car... (whispering) "is a monster."
What ***** ha uploaded a video and RUclips did notify me... I hate google
track features mostly means stiffer suspension and heavy steering plus quick brutal shift. so it totally fine and yes its more of drag car but drag racing don't know what all this means!
the thing is you complained about track mode and didn't even mention that ECO mode!! what were they thinking lol.
I'd say it handles pretty amazing for a 4500lbs car. Pulls respectable G numbers on skinny tires.
Logan L Talks shit about a track-ready car; has picture of a civic as profile.
lol.
AMERICAN MUSCLE 💪 💪
Why are those wheels so sexy!?
@@itsjeff2062 yours got 0...
FINALLLY! This is the one car ive been waiting forever for you to review!
Just test drove 2015 Charger SRT 392 - what a beast of a car, can't even imagine how crazy the Hellcat is.
Why buy a 2020 scatpack when you can buy a 2015 Hellcat and it can cost almost the same amount 😎
Cause the scat is new and the hellcat has prolly been abused and mistreated and is about to need a new tranny at any sexond
it must be one of the sexiest Beasts ever
I need to own one of these bad boys before I die 😩
I'd give my soul to the devil for this damn beast lol
Lol me too xD
***** the base price is 60,000$
Yeah it sucks that the dodge brand doesnt exist in europe
My dad has one there bad ass
is it not possible to ship to europe? i'd kill for such car man..
specialist more than 50 years. Still nice and still force. Legend of times!
Hey I remember meeting you there that day at North Point! Was waiting for this video. Really loved checking that thing out in person and hearing that monster.
3:18 That sound... Meow!... Meow!.... Meow!...
11:20 - 12:14
Simply Beautiful.
God i love the hellcats!!! If only they could loose weight theyd be so much faster
Your almost there sabkyle , you almost have 1,000,000 subscribers!!!!!!!!
I'm generally not a fan of all this new touchscreen technology mumbo-jumbo, but the one found here is pretty damn sweet. Very straight forward and useful. Just like the Hellcat.
So...I hope I can ask this, or am I too late?
You've driven the SRT 392 and now the Hellcat, yet your review never discusses the dynamic differences. How much different does the Hellcat feel off the line? How much faster does the Hellcat feel from 60 MPH? I know both are crazy fast, but I think the differences in performance would interest a LOT of people. The SRT 392 has a few advantages, but the 200+ HP advantage is big, so what were your impressions???
FANTASTIC review! Better than C&D or R&T again.
Robert Brody Thanks buddy! The Hellcat is faster, no doubt about it, but it doesn't feel a whole lot different from the 392 in normal driving around town. Driving them on the track will really be able to answer your questions, but sadly I don't have an avenue for that :/ At speed, the hellcat has a lot more pulling power, I was barely able to really get it going on public roads, have to remember safety. The challenger rides a bit stiffer than the charger, but at the end of day I thought they were comparable. The Challenger feels like an old school muscle car with modern tech.
***** Thanks for the response. I have a Charger SRT 392 coming in about a week. After driving the SRT 392 Challenger and SP versions, I really felt that it was insane power already. I also figured the SRT 392 was a better cruiser because it's quieter and may also have a tiny edge in handling. I still may get a Hellcat in a year, but I don't know if the extra power would get any use in real world driving, as you point out.
These cars really stand out from the crowd, have unusual practicality and crazy power. I test drove the M5 and I actually had more fun with the SRT 392! It simply felt more visceral. Now if they can just give me an AWD SRT 392 I won't even want a Hellcat.
Again, thanks for a great video. It's VERY well done. I wish other reviewers were half as thorough.
Robert Brody I really appreciate that! If I were putting down the money, I'd take the 392 I had, same color scheme probably. While cool, you won't get to use that extra power on city streets. The 392 is just an all around great package. Enjoy!
Well...I'm now looking into trading my SRT 392 for a Hellcat. My dealer is trying to make it happen. I love the 392, but I figure life is short! Keep up the great reviews.
The trade happened and my Hellcat is a ton of fun!
That hellcat v8 sounds sooooo...... sexy.
Dodge needs All Wheel Drive in the Challenger/Charger Hellcat
That would be a dream!
Chanse Ormon that would be awsome
They do, just not in production yet.
Chanse Ormon thT be awesome but probably cost 90 grand
SRT DEMON
What a great car Dodge has created. This car is a winner.
I never realized how short you were. The Challenger is an overall small car, but you make it look giant.
Never would I buy this car with an automatic. I don't think I could feel comfortable giving full throttle to this 700+ horsepower, rear-wheel drive, supercharged muscle car literally called the Hellcat with a computer shifting the gears. That, and I just don't care for automatics to begin with. I know there are paddle shifters but that still is not the same. Great car, love it, but an automatic is an absolute no from me no matter how advanced it is. It sounds like an accident waiting to happen just saying it. It's absolutely critical that they offer a manual transmission, and I'm very glad they do.
I tried to race one of these in my '02 Maxima
Needless to say I lost badly
That fucker was like a rocketship.
And while this car sounds good on video, it sounds way better in person. My adrenaline started pumping just from hearing the car scream.
Poor, poor America... Wonderful cars but a horrible Speed Limit. Luckily, I live in Germany, where we have no Speed Limit.
Who gives a shit.......
Yea really who gives a shit . America is still 10x the country 😂😂😂😂
10x the country compared to Germany? Good joke.
We're 2-0 when it comes to war, so....
Your country is full of Muslims pretty soon LOL dumb politicians of yours LOL
Im 17 years old and ive always wanted this as my dream car, but yesterday i was out in the city with my friends and i saw one and it sparked up my need to own this car even more😂😂
This probably the most in-depth car video I've seen.
Hi Kyle, great review :) sadly you can´t do top speed runs due to the speed limit on american highways. For all of you who are interested in a top speed run with the Hellcat on the German Autobahn, here´s our video:

hey dodge, 1995 calling! They want their door handles back.
Ikr
hinh b
ACABO DE VER A UN VESINO CON UN AUTO DE ESTOS ME PARESIO TAN IMPONENTE AUTOMÓVIL QUE AQUI ESTOY INVESTIGANDOLO
Sofia D cualquiera con esa maquina, waooo me encanta a mi también
That has to be the best sounding car I've ever heard in my life. My opinion.
LA Coster It's a fact
I haven't even watched the video but I clicked the 'Like' button already.... Thanks for this, Kyle!
I would sell my soul for a hellcat!
Manny Lone Star me to
Too much talk, not enough burnt rubber
Agree
He is a one of a kind person who does superb reviews.
I think cars reflect national characteristics:
Italian cars are good looking,flamboyant and quick.German cars are reliable,precise and well made.French cars are stylish and comfortable.Swedish are by-word for safety.Japanese cars are hard working(big milage) and are precise as well. .......
American cars are fat,cheap,not very maneuverable,unintelligent...
hahahahagahahshshahshahahahahahaahahahahahshahahaahahahaah
And you can't afford any of them 😂😂😂😂
Blood Sugar dude u made me cry hahaha
samsonpker how wrong you are. Blood sugar and me do not have the slightest wish to be from the United States. The hellcat looks nothing as good as the European muscle cars. Europe is a place of culture and intelligent design while the USA are an embarrassment to design and arts that the British are happy to have left.
samsonpker I thought you knew your facts. The Brits got kicked out in the Independence War, not the civil war. The Maserati Gran Turismo looks much better than the he llcat although pricier.
Ever since it came out I've been waiting for you to review it! This is fantastic! I am now waiting for the charger hellcat I hope you do it! :)
Yes thanks kyle I have been wanting you to do a review on hellcat for a long time I have watched other reviews on it but I like your reviews and I feel like I get more from your reviews this made my day
Anybody who gets the upgrade Harmon Kardon sound system on a Hellcat should be shot. All the music you ever need is when you push the start button and floor the gas pedal :)
true dat
+Victor W not too sure about that one, it's not the gt350 lol
+Victor W No not shot, no no that's too merciful, but the car should be taken away from him, he doesn't need to own that car, he should immediately be handed the key to a datsun, immediately!
Right you are!
+Victor W lol you obviously haven't heard the HK systems in person. To put it in perspective, imagine a world class symphony. In your car. They are THAT good. By far the greatest stereo company in the world that's actually reachable. They make Bose look like complete chumps.
I'd like to drive it every day on my favorite autobahn and post a utube vid everyday. any1 crowdfundin'?
Should have got a manual.
One of your best video so far, thanks Kyle! We would like more test drives in your performances!
It looks like this Hellcat has a smooth ride. Is the suspension stiff to where it will beat up the occupants on a bumpy road? Is this Hellcat comfortable riding and good for long trips or would the SXT be better for that?
The suspension in street mode is quite comfortable. Long trips would not be an issue as I travel 1200 mile one way trips to visit family. The track mode is noticeably stiff, so the different modes really do change the cars characteristics. This car in street mode is way more comfortable than both the evos I've owned and a BMW M2 I had, but that's not great comparisons compared to those ultra stiff cars, but you'll be comfortable in this car.
Automatic is so stupid on a Muscle car.
Bender Rodriquez Nahhhhh, this is the way to go on this car believe it or not. Blasphemy right? haha
I respect you Kyle but I don't believe you this time around. There's no way it's better to drive a car like this with flappy paddles.
Bender, you have a manual on this car and 2 things are gonna possibly happen. 1. Abused clutch 2. You will get destroyed on speed by the automatic version because it shifts wayyyy faster than a human.
JuanCarlos CastilloDisla Nobody will deny a transmission with flappy paddles can shift faster than a human with a stickshit, but speed isn't everything. Part of the fun of driving a car like this is using a proper manual.
Bender Rodriquez Amen to that!
The most pointless car that i really want !!
A car that have Lamborghini horsepower. I fell in love with dodge now
What a waste of an awesome car with you at the wheel
Hahaha
Wtf r u talking about
Most of theguys hating on this vehicle are driving a 2005 car and can not afford this hellcat , stop hating cuz you cantt have it , its a beautiful and powerful and a v8 car those are the only 3 things a man needs in his car
Your knowledge of this vehicle is very impressive.
It would better painted orange with the confederate flag painted on top of the roof!
Fuck the North Virginia battle flag as that flag on top of the general lee is not the Confederate flag.....The Confederate flag is all white with the stars and bars in the upper left-hand corner but since were talking about the real confederate flag fuck that too.........
+John Moore No. Just, no.
That was the Charger bruh
+John Moore haha fk yeah! They should make a D of H version. No touch screen stripped out interior and a Marshall Quad box instead of a back seat. And the NEW ZEALAND flag across the roof!!!
Sounds ugly asf nigga
Mustang stills better..
Ford??? Never heard of such gay sorcery....
LINKINPARK SOLDIER4LIFE who is better? Camaro ZL1, challenger hellcat or mustang? '-'
Hellcat... A little bit over 700 horsepower.... Let that sink in for a minute.
Lol!
Mateus Mendes Look, I am a die hard mustang fan. I used to talk alot of shit about dodge, but the challenger has a meaner look and not some fusion looking sports car they car "mustang."
My dream muscle car!! Awesome job bro.
This is the greatest challenger review ever. So through.
Fantastic in depth review! This car is my favorite car of all time!
