Excellent video. I especially appreciate what sounded like each individual model. Funny to go from a sputtering 4 banger to the supercharged whine/roar of the hellcat. My only suggestion is a 360 view of each car. Subscribed!
The Barracuda started a couple years earlier with a different body style or two (non-fastback?). Maybe not enough to warrant an episode but it would've made a good Chrysler E-body combo episode.
Early Barracudas weren't pretty. But the '70 'Cuda had very similar styling as Challenger, and it was also an E body car as well. '71 Cuda is my all-time favorite, and sell at the auctions for millions. In 2014 a numbers matching 'Cuda convertible sold in Seattle for a whopping 3.5 mill, and set a record.
Funny how the 2000's models weren't making as much power as the ones in the early 70's. US manufacturers sure took a long time to adapt to emission laws.
Uhhhhh, NO! Emissions laws started WAY before carbon taxes were even thought of. Look at the pics from the 60's and 70's of the smog over L.A. compared to today! No comparison.
on stereo speaker ,, that crispy rich engine sounds ,, Delicious ! specially the 2nd model , 1970 that might be the best thing about muscle cars in my opinion
This was one of cars which has probably shown car industry was fucked at that time. We will probably never see such beatutiful cars like in 60s and 70s again :(.
COOLIFICATION HQ gas crisis made many cars shitty like the skylines (was still a nice car) and the mustangs ( the american muscle cars were hit hard) for example. Fuel crisis downgraded a lot of good cars
Overall was good, but missed a few details. “Ralley” is actually spelled “Rallye” and the Challenger script was never on the rear fenders like that. 1974 was also the 1st year for the 360 Motor. 2011 was the first year for the 392 (6.4) V8 and also went to the 3.6L V6. 2014 was the first year for the Shaker package on the Challenger R/T. 2015 has the Shaker and the Scat Pack available on both non-SC V8s (with or without Shaker) and 2017 was the first year for the revived T/A package.
Fun video, really highlighted most of the more powerful variants. Couple things that have changed, though, is that they put a 305 hp 3.6L engine in the base model around 2011. Also the 392 (6.4L) was a special in 2011 IIRC and then put as the standard SRT8 motor, a year later in 2012. I believe introduced at 475 hp and tq and now at 485 hp for the 2017 model. Which is now in the higher end of the R/T line too (I want to say 2016). So you still have better options than 2009. I suppose it would make the video somewhat longer if all engine options were discussed :-3
Out of all challenger models, as a Toyota enthusiasts I would like/love to have that extremely underrated 78’ challenger import. 😍😍😍😍 beautiful 2.7L 4 banger
@@ClassOfSpriggs the Camaro was discontinued from 2002 to the 2010 model year, around the same time they introduced the LS3 engine for the Corvette, so I think the Mustang is the "prestige" car, also being the car that the Camaro, Challenger, and Charger were based on and were developed to compete with the Mustang. Mustang fan myself.
@@ClassOfSpriggs yeah the Zl1 was really something, as with the recent 1le models, and I'm not against Camaros, I love them, but if you compare the 13-14 Gt500 to the Zl1, I really think the Shelby is better in many ways, as with the newer gt350R against the z/28 (Can't really compare the gt350R with the newer Zl1) but the 1le is pretty good. Can't wait for the 2019 Gt500, it will be announced and It's power and capabilities will be fully available to the public I think mid January 2019, and with over 700 WHP, while it won't be as powerful as the demon, will seriously be a real challenge to the the Zl1 and the demon, as there will be a drag focused one, and a track focused one. (the Hellcat will be really fucked up and the demon might lose its throne to the successor of the 14 Gt500.)
I owned a '74 back in the late 90,s, which was the final year for the beloved E bodies and had the 318 and 727. Obviously that wasn't its best year, but it was still a nice example of an unrestored original with AC and was clean with some surface rust. But the interior was excellent and an all around good solid Mopar.
1976-1982 were bleak times. In 1978 Car and Driver selected a Dodge pickup as the year's fastest car. The Lil Red Wagon's 360 made 225 hp; 40 more than the L82 Corvette (the 'hot' 350) allowing the Ram to run a 15.4 sec 1/4 mile, beating the Chevy by half a second. The new '79 Firebird Formula, equipped with a 305 cu in 4 bbl making 155 hp ran 16.7/84 with a 4 speed manual. (C/D magazine). Today, each of the big 3 can put you in a 12 second car for under 40 G's. These ARE the good old days. :))
3:53 reminds me of that one clip from Top gear: Hammond: "it's the new Camaro. It's got all-wheel independent suspension-" May: "Wooooow" Clarkson: "Can you imagine the designers at Dodge thinking; 'we have, like, four different wheels, what if we treat them independently?' Like, they've been doing in Europe for, 100 years?"
Hello Cars Evolution! I have recently discovered your videos and I have to say, I've become a huge fan!!! All your videos are amazing. One suggestion if you don't mind. Please remove the background music. I wanna hear the cars and their orgasmic moans clearly . Thanks
Marvin_1221 Racing Games and PCR I love how Dodge in the late 70s we're starting to fall away from their original View and went f it and left the Challenger scene until they could properly bring it back👍👍👍👍👍 unlike the retarded phase of the Mustang
You skipped allot of models like the 392 srt and the scatpack. The 392 was a major stepping stone in the cars evolution. Need to do your homework better.
Very interesting, it is sad to see the decline of these amazing cars through the mid 70s to late 90s, but then to see their rebirths back to present day and returned once again to greatness.

Fucking relatable 👌
I agree. I’d like to own one just for the sound
I cry every time look at the price back then
@gheddi Actually, three grand would be fifteen grand now. Now, most base models are above that price...
MrFireFast actually 3000 would be the same as 19,800..
@@1ZosoLZ Still, the point is that car companies are overcharging on cars. 19,800 for a performance trim is insane.

I could buy 4 of them and I'm 12 😂
What the hell happened 1978?
105 HP
Looks like a smaller version of a Pontiac Aztec
Wtf
Radiant Hour real shit?
It was just an imported Mitsubishi they slapped the challanger name on
That One Guy That Snipes they tried to become a Japanese car designer
The japanese can't design a good car. They can only make a small car
For all of those wondering what happened in 1978, the answer is simple.
Mitsubishi.
Oil ?!
Yeah they had to make it smaller and more fuel efficient due to the fucking fuel crisis
No dont worry, back in 1970-1980 Mitsubishi rocked the Rally and Japanese car world, then at early 2000’s thats when Mitsubishi turned to shit.
Mitsubishi made the Japanese Zero planes.

You have to remember you could only finance at 19% interest for 1 - 3 years maximum...

1978 comes around
Me: I'm just gonna pretend I didn't see that
how can you live with yourself knowing they went from what the dodge challenger looked like in 1971 and then look at the 1978 model, looks awful
They scraped the charger too in these years, I wasn't born but my dad had one, Inline 4 and it was probably in the fuel crisis times
Late 60's and early 70's were the charger in it prime according to style
was produced in Japan I believe
Rebadged Mitsubishi, still a great car but I don't know why they called it a Challenger

right. the p100d can run a 1/4 mile in 10.4 ish seconds at 120-123 mph. its basically a preference thing. gas vs electric haha
