Never in a million years would i expect to see a car like this on the channel. Amazing, hell yeah brother indeed 🤣
Never has that hairstyle looked more at home than in that car.
I almost spat my coffee out reading this
Hell yeah bruther
The English cleetus 😂
First thing I noticed. So many memes 😂😂😂
Hell yea brother! Mullet and a V8. The full American experience
Drank one for each and every Cleetus quote - can’t walk right now
Have a chaser for every time I hit a cats eye
@@dannyDC2 Lol. I can't count that high.
The intro music was quality, if you are ever up Newcastle way let me know my dad has Hellcat Challenger if you want a go of that, scary thing
Sounds lairy!
@@dannyDC2 Aye its pretty insane, 650ft of torque is too much for UK roads, good fun though
@@rhysatkinson5743I’m sorry ik this is a very late reply but your dad has or had a really rare car for being where u r
now i was not expecting that Danny!
I think a few might have that reaction!
You gotta love it when a big girl can hustle. Not just a straight line one trick pony, actually seemed very composed on those beautiful B roads. Perhaps not “fun” as you said, but she makes a good impression. Looking forward to more of your unique style of review, hopefully some rare or highly individual cars. Also hyped for your next race.
I rented a new Charger (4 door version of this) in LA when I was there last, totally exceeded my expectations, had a lot of fun tbh both on the freeways blatting about but also I took it up over Mulholland and some of the roads UA-cam people test up on in the mountains there. Cheaper to run even with "expensive" California fuel than it is to daily my Lexus here in the UK too. If it wasn't for the pure size and fuel prices, I think the combination of the price and power would have gone down well if they'd sold here.
Great to see a skilled driver doing car reviews! Awesome videos buddy!
Love a challenger.
Rented one when I out in the states, really surprised by it.
Enjoying your videos 👍🏻
Surprised me how good it was! Not hiding it’s weight, but it handled it well
@@dannyDC2 Same, I expected it to be very floaty.
My wife even enjoyed driving it.
“Shoot someone” 😂👏🏼
Team America Intro 🤣 10/10
Top of Holme Moss! Cracking roads up there, used for the Tour which explains the abundance of Lycra, but you should have exited the car park and turned left, right takes you back down to the village. Definitely worth a look next time.
Loving these review videos, keep them coming.
I'm loving the reviews Danny 👌👍
Ace Dan loved the vid. Cheers also love the DIY elechickens bandage.
Think you took up the wrong career Dan. That was pure art from the mouth at the end 😉😅 Suprising that it handles as well as you say, for such a big car too.
I was surprised a few months back to learn that these had IRS rather than a live axle in the rear, definite improvement from older generations if you want to do anything besides go in a straight line. But the torque converters act like traction control anyway, would definitely prefer a manual for the direct power delivery. They are available with the TR6060 which is a beast of a six speed
Being from Ireland I thought I recognised those roads, turns out it's exactly the roads I went on during my driving trip! Brilliant bends
Being an owner of this type of car (08 Challenger SRT8) and American, this is the funniest video I've ever seen. Lol
wtf go on lad 👏
That Intro music is top drawer danny boi
Good to see you took off the plastic from your mic ;) Nice review, I'm guessing it's not his daily?
Haha deffo not
It is my daily, luckily I only have a 4 mile commute 👍
I daily an srt8 it’s great
Thank you so much Danny for sharing appreciated..
Dodge Challenger is a icon on the muscle cars range and drive this car in the UK set a another Challenger however it’s a very looking good one indeed I have one as well and I very happy with the performance plus what this car can bring up the road…not only about speed more about Style plus safety quality…
Drive in Beauty and Gratitude….
"Hell yeah brother" what a true murican🇺🇸
Definitely a good variation of cars to review so far Dan really enjoying them! 👍 Alex from CT has definitely rubbed off on you with his jingles haha 😆 Would love to say it was myself giving it the beans in my Fiesta on those Mountain roads but still needs some work 😅
Very intresting ! It's so rare to see someone LFB, watching you do it makes me happy.
Hmm 🤔
Strapped knuckles…. Been battling Dan? 🤪
Cool review dude
Did a double take there! Dan in a yank tank?! Sounds pretty good and side profile is awesome. Just a shame it’s quite as big as it is. If it was two thirds the size and half the weight it’d be a yes please! Cool rating of 776 Megafonzies! 😎
Just bought two t shirts hell yeah brother 😎
I spied an etype at the start of the video, make me think, maybe there should be a classic thrown into the mix 👀 If you've not already thought of that
You should have used Team America's soundtrack in the intro 🤣
Great idea why didn’t I think of that
This generation they went with Hydraulic steering. The updated version (2015 and newer) gets electric except for the high performance versions such as the Hellcat which retained the Hydraulic steering. 😁
1900Kg jeeesus, and to think you called the M3 a fat lass! Bit of "good touch for a big lad" going on though it seems.
Hmm this could be the beginning of a UK RegularCarReviews lol
Hey Danny.🖐 Do I think this was a good review? Hell yeah, brother!👍😎 Those are some beautiful scenic roads you have over there, mate. Well, you're one up on me as I still haven't driven an SRT-8. Some people give 'em shit for being so heavy, but apparently they handle much better than expected. The SRT-8 looked quite a Challenge on those narrow roads, especially with oncoming traffic and driving on the less than ideal side of the car. Kinda like dancing with a big girl in a phone booth, you don't have much wiggle room.😁 Still looked like good fun. Really enjoying these unique reviews, Dan. I appreciate the honourable mention, dude. You know I'd never hit you with a copyright strike. haha. Huge Shoutout to Matt for lending you his honkin' slice of 'Merican muscle for our entertainment.🙌 As always, big ups to the writers. All those U.S. and A stereotypes are pretty damned accurate. Also cracked me up with the Power ranger outfits... wind in my face. Oh shit, I just ate a wasp.😅 Then segued right into the 🐝B-roll. haha, nice. Longshot, but maybe you can add that Motorbike Man song to the playlist. Have a great weekend, Dan.
Haha cheers dude, hopefully no copy strikes 😂
the look of Terror turned to joy at 0:33
Compete surprise and so different to the s14, also rate the team America music in the intro, seems appropriate
Got a entry level “trackish” Megane if you wanna have a go 😂
It's got mk1 focus upside down side indicators. I never noticed that before.
Lol good spot! That was only done when it was imported to UK
Once drove down there and saw a EK9 Jordan upside down in the field.
Nice
Hi Danny great video :-)
It is noticeable that you are following Cleetus McFarland. Beautiful area through which you drive Danny.
*There's a hack you can download and install in to the camera to get rid of the 30 minute limit Dan. I use an A7S II as part of my job, and was one of the the first things I did a few years ago when it came out. Give it an old Google mate, saves a lot of grief after that!* 😉
Heard about this, was the same on the Panasonics. Just never thought I’d hit it!
@@dannyDC2 Time flies when you're in the zone...... and you lose track of how much sh1te you're actually talking (otherwise I'd hit the feckin' limit each time!! 😂😂)
This video is actually hilarious.
Testing a new style of driving glove replacement there? Get well soon
😬
Lots of Cleetus McFarland references.
Sounds mint does that!
Vxr8 is where the murica/uk blend works!
American underneath, Australian on top, and wheels on the right side!
Quite a few of them dotted around your area aswell 😉
Ah yeah one of those is on the list. I used to see one quite regularly with a private plate but I can't remember the name. Think the guys on Pistonheads (if it's you let's roll!)
Your fellow Yorkshireman, Keith Lemon will be coming after you for copy right. 🤣 hope the hands alright, good to see some variety 👍🏻
Never have you looked more at home in a car Danny xD
No wayy!!! I own this exact car now haha stumbled upon this video by chance
The perfect car for the hairstyle
The 2010 srt 6 speed is fast. 0 to 60 will make your eyes get bigger and your heart beat fast. It's a fun car
If you asked me what car I though you were gonna do next, this would have been so far down the list 😂 nice surprise though, something extremely different!
Hell yeah brother Dan!
Where abouts was this filmed mate?
Looks like Holmfirth near Huddersfield.
Bingo 👍
Please tell me the mullet was done purely for this video. Committed Dan, always committed.
Ace video. Holme-Moss was my go to touge track :D
Wasn't expecting that at all. Interesting none the less
the way you said MUSKKLE.. lmao
Hello, bro very nice video. I like Challenger. What is the difference between 5.7 and 6.1 engines? which engine is more durable ? I want buy challenger but i don't know which engine. Thanks for answer.
6.1 I think is more reliable, but only 50 more hp. It also requires premium fuel.
after how many miles need to be changed automatic gear box ? maybe not need change?
@@rickitysplitz7035
I’ve yet to roll down to Dunkin’ and shoot anyone. 😜 My American SRT-8 experience has been mostly drag racing at the motor speedway. These will do a respectable 11 second quarter mile with drag radials, a little N₂O, and a tune but otherwise stock motor. Was fun to see it on the country roads. Great video.
my fav muscle car...
Ayoo he going crazy
Yes Danny!
Muskle cars is what they should call the sporty Tesla cars.
Wow that’s good
@@dannyDC2 lol cheers
Plasters < Electrical tape
Plaster kept coming off 🤣
American Steet Muscle! Smiles per mile!
Are they still making parts for this car?
Ah, the Oopnorthring
бат' Данчо, огромен си!
Corr proper tank right there! Could pull trees out 😅
Loved the review, so funny 😄
Left and right to manual shift!? 😂 That can FRO. That's like putting the brake pedal above the accelerator.
Yeah was weird
It's a throwback to the original 'slap shift' transmission fitted to the 70s challengers apparently
Solution: get the 6speed manual😏
Hell yeah brother
This is the last thing I expected on this channel
🤪
good road for abit of fun over holme moss
"i am in a cahh" LUL
Its a real slow car.I drove one for 12 years. But fun still to drive.
School lot & Station?
I couldn’t imagine driving on the left side of the road in a 2 lane
T.I used this car in his Whats up whats happenin video, can anyone confirm its the same model
Hell yeah dude
How's it sound(s?)
fockin massive
No tic?
8:39 that’s what she said 😂
Hope you get to drive a vette or a viper.
Either would be awesome 😎
What mountain pass is that Dan ??
A6024
@@GLH8 thanks man
The transmission, traction control, stability control are all Mercedes. [Among a few other things]
These run on moonshine don't they? Corn syrup instead of oil.
Need somewhere big enough to turn a bus around in.... You drove passed the bus turnaround every time you went up Danny 😂
Whoops!
Holme Bridge is shit at the best of times though never mind with a big fuck off American car. Some good green lanes around there though
lets just say... there were smiles when you were able to press the accelrator.. and your more than comfortable... this car may ruin others for you,
Guilt & Innocence.. An after?
Dr. Ives?
Love the challengers despite it being a total boat, even to American standards lmao
Test a bmw 850i competition
Epic
Ha, these are terrible but fun cars. The newest stuff is really much much better... I hope you get the chance to track a new Corvette ZO6, Camaro 1LE variant, or new mustang GT350. They are such capable track cars out of the box I bet you'll be shocked. Coming from an American I thought I'd never own an American car and here I am, the new cars are that good.
How come you think they are terrible?
@@dannyDC2 Horrible build quality, interior, and not to mention the chassis is still built on a Mercedes C class I think from the late 90's. They handle and stop like pure garbage even in current year with all the performance options added. They are fun muscle cars and the newer ones have a much better interior but if you care about a drivers car they still aren't it.
@@94tegLSatMSChefty disagree, these things have Brembos and stop on a dime. Dodge doesn’t make a lot of good vehicles but none of the Challengers have any outstanding issues besides the Hemi tick, but if you avoid idling a lot you should be fine.
@theboogeyman1571 lol ok, I've driven them all and none of them stop on a dime. I think if you haven't driven anything faster you might think that though.
You need to try my E39 M5 😝
Indeed
Hi 👋 once again my good sir
welcome back!
Bet it's shit scary driving that being so wide and LHD
