Thanks for watching! - Авто та транспорт
Correction: This isn’t a redeye, so it’s 717hp, not 807 like I said in the video. Thanks to those who noticed!
man I'm gonna miss the hellcat supercharger on the channel it sucks that dodge is switching to electric so early I hope the electric don't sell so they go back to that American muscle.
your ready to drive that redeye😂😂
@@randomvideosyt5955dodge confirmed the new charger will come with a gas engine with electric as an option but not a v8.
Give it time once it doesn't sell and people start buying the new mustang more they'll put a v8 back in it.
Can you review a jeep grand Cherokee srt?

"Its really the cultural around these items" He was holding back a lot of words
What’s your user pic showing?
😭😭ur not wrong bro its hard to talk about hellcats without bringing up- THAT aspect
While that does hold some truth. Anyone is capable of stealing so it’s not really fair to ostracize one group or culture of people.
Atlanta.
fun and affordable it will attract people plus it's in all the music since 2017
If the worst you can say about this car is the fear of it getting stolen, says a lot.
Transmission issues
Fast car in a straight line, but can't handle at all
Clearly there are better handling vehicles. But for the tens of thousands who bought Challengers, last year alone, ultimate handling, is not the highest priority.@@taureanb7351
@@taureanb7351 well, yeah that’s what it’s for.
them monkeys
Topher back in an SRT...here for it! Quick edit...the Redeye Jailbreak has the 807, normal Jailbreak is 717 :)
Correct, I had to dig around for like a half hour on the computer to find this info. Went into the car and bam it’s right in the infotainment. Dodge really doesn’t market this version well.
@@PaulsPlace I work at a Ford / CDJR dealership...that's the only real reason I know. I also have a Daytona 392, ordered a Charger Jailbreak, but didn't want to double my payment and then some haha!
thats really dumb tbh.
Every time I watch a hellcat video, im impressed
“it definitely brings out the worst in you” love that
I had a scat pack challenger in Baltimore. I love and miss it. I had one attempted theft and my license plates were stolen twice. The reputation for these cars are true and its sad cause these are just so fun and easy to drive.
My default answer when asked about my favorite OEM paint color. Just gorgeous.
The Plum Crazy is really gorgeous. The lighter blue color they have is very nice as well.
Dodge makes some great colors on almost all of their cars!
mentioned this in my only previous post, but love the respect you show other people's vehicles by trying to clean debree from your feet prior to entering the vehicle. Have not noticed any other youtubers showing this courtesy
I like how we respects the interior of the car kicks off his feet really respectful subscribed.❤
my biggest thing on this and the challenger is the interior from 2010. Love the engine and exterior look, its just the ancient interior that gets me.
this is NOT the interior from 2010 lmao at least do your research before you say things. 2010 interior changed after they dropped the 2011 charger. then they changed the interior again in 2015 which is the most recent. google 2010 charger interior and then google 2023 charger interior
This is a 2010 interior for most other cars. It may be a 2015 Dodge interior, but it's still a 2010 interior. That said, it is easily forgiven.
@@weekends.o4193I think the point he was making is that it LOOKS like it’s from 2010, which is does 🤢
Buddy look at the interior its so old@@weekends.o4193
@@weekends.o4193 people tend to think its outdated as I do agree a tad, but its because it doesnt have an ipad stuck on the dash like every other car out there, so that = old and outdated lmao
Absolutely amazing...love it...tnx for the presentation!
I just love seeing you driving fast cars! I would never even dare to attempt 1% of the “fun” driving you do. Great video! Makes me want a plum crazy charger hellcat
As a master auto collision tech I can tell you, way to many people own these cars that just shouldn't. If your not ready for the throttle hang and endless kinetic energy from the weight. Your going to deface this thing.
this car in purple is so amazing
if there was one thing i wish they wouldve done during the lifespan of this generation, its that they shouldve updated this interior. just looks so cheap on a car that is so much. not to mention that they shouldve added all wheel drive but with it being a dodge i bet wheelspin would still exist
You buy a dodge for the engine. Everything else is second. Guess a police interceptor challenger is the best way to get awd v8
@@dawsongranger4940If they can refresh the Durango's interior and make it better they can do the same for the Challenger and Charger.
@@dawsongranger4940as an avid Chrysler hater, the newer Stellantis trucks and SUVs with higher options actually have pretty killer interiors.
it's a muscle drag car so awd is dumb. also rwd burnouts are the best and the interior keeps costs low
Great video! I got one despite the theft rate here in ATL and been enjoying it over a year now 🏁
11:28 the wisest mini rant regarding Dodge ever lol
OMG. I thought I was the only one who suspected the Charger was prone to thefts.
A neighbor of mine had 2 of them stolen. The first Charger, he only had less than a year when it was stolen. The police found it, but it was wrecked. He got a second Charger that he had for about 2 years when that was stolen. That Charger was never found. That was the last time he bought a Dodge. As much as he liked the car, it was too stressful to get another one.
As popular and powerful as these cars are, I would think Dodge would have better security for them.
Should have had a kill switch
The charger is literally the most stolen vehicle in the country, so no, you’re not the only one that suspects that😂😂
🌚🌚🌚🧑🏿🦲
I agree with all your reasoning for not pulling the trigger, and yea it's really unfortunate... what about a Blackwing? And you can opt for a manual 💪 that's a badass ride
Can't go wrong with a hellcat!
you have coolest job ever
dream job fr
Litterally my dream car 🔥🔥🔥
I am 12 and I am save up for one it’s my dream car so hopefully I can get one when I get my license
We all wish we can get our dream cars when we get our license. No worries mate, doesn't mean you won't ever get it yea? Save up and work for it mate I believe in yeh
First time running into your channel, now I'm a subscriber. My wife had a 392 charger Daytona She love that car, still loves that car. But it was a 2018 and it was time to trade it in. She bought a 23 Camaro 2 SS Convertible, She's having a real hard time letting that charger go. Once I get the modifications done and she has the top-down, She'll be good with it. I had a 2018 challenger TA 392 I bumped it up to a 23 hellcat Challenger And I loooove that car. The fun never stops. Accept at the gas station and the tire store. Like what I see on your channel. So I'll keep watching. Very entertaining video, thanks for that.
BRO LIVING LIFE
The dodge charger is certainly one car i would have in my dream car collection despite the steering wheel being on the wrong side for uk driving, it would still be a fantastic car to import
This is my dream car and nice ride man
Love the sound of v8s!
fun vid i needed this thanks toph
i love watching you cruise through our suburbs, i always know where you are lol
Purple and white is perfect. Purple engine bay is also perfect
The best POV and sound I’ve ever watched. From a hellcat owner. 👊🏼
Whether you don’t like this car (I don’t know how you couldnt) or love it, we are looking at the last of a breed and an end of an era…. Also the beginning of 200k resale prices loll
Yeah right it’s plenty hellcats sitting lol nobody paying 200k
@@luckyluciano5523facts Lmaoo
Great spec. The only issue with mopar is how often they are targeted for theft.
6:01 Savagegeese approves ! 🦆🦆
I like how you drive my guy❤💯
@TheTopher how do you think the hellcat's 8 speed feels dynamically compared to the GT500s 7 speed dual clutch. You seemed to really enjoy it. Just curious which you’d prefer to daily and have as an occasional track car.
I would love to see more chargers! nice color!
I'm always interested in these hellcat videos
We all know why they called it the jailbreak...
totally fair point on the theft rate. it would stop me too from getting one
I Just Got A Scatpack And I Love Itttttt
love the color! heard a bit of confusion with the jailbreak, for some reason dodge makes every hellcat a jailbreak this year. the redeye is 807 and normal jailbreak is 717
Used to drive that route from DTW to TOL... Little nostalgic seeing the construction's still going after 2 decades 😂
Topher can you please do a school bus or a bus video plz
Ngl, Topher, Tedward, and Topher Jr doing a camping trip in a school bus would be fukkin SICK. I'd watch a 3 part series of that.
I have a question, are the side bolsters adjustable? I rented a non Hellcat Charger and the side bolsters where much too narrow for my back
beautiful!
I absolutly love the hellcat or jailbreak charger or challenger. So i am from Germany. And my dram car is a e39 m5 with the 5.0 V8. But if someone offer my the choice between These two, i dont know how to choose. There both sick on there one way. Just take the Sound... the hellcat or jailbreak Sound absolutly sick. No question. But its compressor charged and had 1.2 litre more engine. The e39 m5 had only 5 litre. And Sounds absolutely amazing if you have the right exhaust setup!
The only thing I would change, is the analog guages. Instead of the red, put the classic looking white/silver guages from the Demon in it. It would be absolutely perfect.
These look like such a blast but man there’s zero chance I wouldn’t drive this with full big chimp energy every second. Be such a fun car to own if you had enough money to not worry about tires and fuel lol
Got rid of my SS 1LE for the same reason and this sounds even better and is way faster.
Enjoying ND2 Miata life, but man do V8s still pull at my heart strings. These are definitely going to be future classics….shame Altima owners with higher credit scores ruin these things for everyone lol
i would love that car for the 15 minutes that i was still alive
I Love It. 6:40 To 7:10 Was Amazing
Good 💪🏼🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah my cluster speed is slow on my 2016 Hemi pursuit. Is there something I can do to speed it up?
I’ve been waiting for this video for the longest, and that’s weird that the screen says 717 hp.
Never expected this cameo from @Savagegeese at 6:02.
I love this car❤
Just bought one of these bad boys I pick it up tomorrow! Thanks for the video Topher!
Congrats on the purchase!
thank you! im glad i was able to find one of these hellcats for a decent price. I wasn't gonna pay any mark up. @@matthewthedude146
Congrats man it's a good thing I can't afford one because I would probably be lock up 😂
Just spend whatever it takes on anti theft stuff
Congrats brother!! :D. Hope you enjoy it! I plan on getting a WB challenger hellcat myself in manual sometime next year. Don't care for the last call badges and whatnot. I just want a manual chal HC. Hopefully I join y'all HC boys soon!
wow the Best !! My dream
It's honestly HILARIOUS how easy it is to just burn through tire rubber with these hellcats by just stepping on the gas. Idc what anyone says, I LOVE it. The hellcats are just straight up brutish, fat, and angry cars. I'm hoping to get a WB Challenger Hellcat in manual sometime next year as my "fun" car. The runner up would be a manual chall scat pack, but I REALLY want that hellcat.
I love this Car, my dream 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Dodge challenger monster. Super charge. 💥💥🚀
Great!
Now for anyone that never got a chance to buy one new we will just have to wait for thr prices to drop tremendously before buying one. Hoping it's a one owner well taken care of as well
Thats so beautiful 😍 🤩 👌
also, thoughts on this vs the ct5v blackwing?
I don't really look at these types of cars, but damn bruh these are FAST!
Hi, where i can find this card?? If i buy it by dodge, in how much time arrive me the car??
my dream car. its perfect!
Lmao
You can car reviewers really like driving these hellcats the most
My dream car
My favorite car
its so easy to prevent these from getting stolen
u can add multiple kill switches
and a pin to the car so no matter what if the pin doesnt get put in correctly the car wont start
theres a shifter lock you can get so the shifter literally will not move
theirs a plate u can get to cover the nutral lock
regardless you shouldn't need to do any of this but sadly if you want one its better to do this than have it ripped away
friend of mine had his durango stolen
rest in peace
All that just to get towed by a tow truck
Honestly want to be like all cars should only come in purple but then that would make them far less special. Definitely do appreciate Dodge putting out all the purples though 😤
Sounds like a locomotive. Loving it :)
The best security for these cars is to make electrical connections to outside doors and hood when not in use. Or turn on in dangerous areas.
🎃 👻 Happy Halloween 👻🎃
the last of its kind
That is a nice looking car.. I gotta get my GT Super charged, I am going to keep my miles low and keep saving.
Really sick car! I heard those cars are becoming very popular, even camaros and corvettes. Might wanna get one someday!
its my dream car and im moving to the usa in 1 to 2 years
“say hello to the savage geese!!!” IYKYK
It's hard to adequately convey just how badly I want a Charger. It's a tragedy Dodge did away with the Hellraisin color. Also, plenty of Atlanta car content creators that have stories about theft
i see you switched up to the moonswatch
16:06 porsche taycan in the left mirror
Man I want this car
Cool car.
I’ve owned many Mustangs and a C7 Z06. However none of them check all the boxes for me like my WB HC Charger
One day my dream car.....
I’d love to get a used scat but you have to install multiple things just so no one can steal it, i don’t find it worth it
I'm considering purchasing this, but after learning they're being discontinued I'm not sure.
9:21 You didn't show us the crash footage of the semi in front of you lol
What about this vs the ct5 blackwing
I have a 2018 charger 392 and it literally has the same interior as this one lmao I wish dodge would've stepped it up on the interior especially now that these are closing in on $100k
Topher I think you need to click your feet together just a couple more times, I don't think you got all the dirt off!! 😄😁
He got it all off but then he touched the ground and picked some of it up again😂
Now my first new Dodge Charger I can buy.
It’s over 80 grand
these cars have always had the driving experience down - one of the best stock exhaust systems on any car, fantastic transmission programming, and surprisingly capable handling - but the interior is where they fall down IMO. At the scat pack trim level you can get away with it but up here on these top trims I really wish they'd step it up on these interiors with some nicer materials (real carbon fiber would be nice for a start...) as well as USB-C ports, and perhaps take away some of those fisher price plastics on the bottom of the doors and glovebox, etc. Also it is truly STUPID how the theft problem hasn't been fixed on these cars.
Still, regardless of their reputation on the roads (largely due to the fact that, as you said, they bring out the worst in you lol), these cars have been really fun to have around. And really, that trans tuning is super impressive. Made my S5 sportback and RS3 I've had since both feel laggy and unresponsive in comparison, and only now with a Stage 2 TCU tune on my RS3's DCT does it feel properly responsive. Pretty impressive vehicles all in all and I for one will miss them.
These cars also have interchangable parts its so crazy. a dirt cheap 2008 v6 challenger can use the same parts as a 200k 2023 demon. and they all sit on a chassis design from a 90s Mercedes e class. they put in very little effort outside of the 6.2 hemi development which happened in 2015
@@ISLAMICSTORIES13 yeah that’s definitely something I wish was different. Would be nice to have noticeably better interior materials on higher grind but that’s not always the case
The last of the V8 muscle cars.
Bring those hands up a bit on the wheel and you'll be even better through curves and twisties.
🥹I want one so bad in that color
What about maintence??
