NEW VIDEO EVERY WEDNESDAY! - Авто та транспорт
Had a blast driving this thing - that might be obvious from watching. “Wow!” It’s just brutal fun. Honestly I don’t recall being as excited by launching the Demon, more just nervous about spinning tires and making sure I didn’t run into the drag strips barricades. Hope everyone’s having a nice day!
If you’re into photos of Unicorn Cows, check me out on Instagram. instagram.com/p/BahFx9cD33Z/
how long would air strip have to be for Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk to pass Dodge Challenger SRT Demon?
The Jeeps top end really surprised me
Love your videos man. You obviously enjoyed it!
such a joy seeing the laughter on your face when you pin the throttle!!
why are electric vehicles not popular as compared to petrol or diesel vehicles even if majority of people can afford them in both developed and developing countries ?
707 hp in an SUV...for when your kids are late for soccer practice.
wjye lol
wjye dad car
Football
Or if you need to rush back to the supermarket and get that one grocery bag you left in the cart.
and they're three states over
At this point, I hope they make a hellcat caravan.
sithlordsoup a turbo 4 would be a cool remake
Kids start getting rambunctious, a stomp on the pedal puts them back in their seat.
DemonVan
People have swapped an srt4 engine into a caravan.
sithlordsoup 😅
Imagine losing to a suv at a red light
Kevin Villalobos Won't happen if I'm in the CTS-V.
weRoneself tru
been there, done that lol. got spanked by a typhoon many moons ago. I was in a SC 2001 mustang gt with a killer tune. i almost cried
It happened to me at a stop light once, this Navy Blue 04-06 Dodge Ram SRT10 disappeared in 6 seconds. I'm creaping up to 60mph and barely passed the first intersection, he already made it past 2 intersections. I forgot about those trucks until that day. It was unbelievable!
even then because remember awd always wins from a dig and rolls depending on how much power the rwd is pushing
I once saw a Dodge charger hellcat in Florida. They were going the same place as us, and in the parking lot, I saw two parents and two kids get out, with strollers in the trunk. That just blew my mind
+Alex Tait ha, exactly! It’s very much so a big family sedan, but it turns evil if you put your foot down! 😈
Muhluri Nkuna
Mercedes has a Jekyll/Mr. Hyde of their own in their AMG wagons. While they "only" make around 520HP, they are also especially nimble. And of course being a station wagon, they are extremely practical.
Alex Tait that’s what my hellcats for, they’re really good daily’s because of their size and ease of driving. The fact that they can fit 3 car seats next to each other in the back and multiple strollers and groceries in the trunk helps too lol.
JBanegas6xSICx6 I've never been in one, is it a nice car to ride in?
daily driving is a stretch
That amount of physics pinning you to your seat will bring joy to anyone who likes cars. That take off from a dig and watching your expression is priceless.
Also we need more graphs and charts to explain joy to horsepower ratios.
I've never seen this guy this happy
+Smoothy Boy watch my F-Type SVR video. But yeah, this thing brings out joy!
That’s why I like this engineering guy he is calm , because of that when I see him laughing he let me know how badass this truck hawk is
That Jeep! My new tow vehicle for my race cars, that will tow down them down 1/4 mile quicker than my race cars will get down it alone.
😂
Justin's Pit Lane lmaoo 😂😂😂
**FCA does not rate this vehicle for towing (as was the case with the last hot Jeep)
Figures... but makes sense since its lowered (for an SUV, anyway)
Just a honda thing eh? lol
I'm sorry, but neither of these could beat my corolla. 4 cylinders of complete madness
Facts are facts, and you raise a great point!
PazmatiKz they can both beat my corrola
Lighter weight always wins bra (Rolla' family here too)
That's an unfair comparison!
PazmatiKz A Celica?
Hypothetically, I don't have $85k or a friend.
Everything is faster than the Demon if you are brave enough to fall off a cliff.
al kiou Demons can fall off cliffs too.
LMFAOOOOO
al kiou With terminal velocity being a thing, I'm not so sure about that.
fun fact: 1g of acceleration comes out to a 0-60 time of 2.74 seconds. Dodge demon is 2.3 seconds. On a short enough cliff, the dodge demon would beat a car in freefall
No, no, no. The Terminal Velocity still would make the Demon a faster object.
I love the instinctive hand movements going towards the non-existent stick.
FCA calls it autostick.
Could you imagine if it was a manuel.
But lol, that factory sleeper Trackhawk, nice XD
2.3 seconds from 0-60 is downright epic, especially for the Demon
iLupi except nobody has been able to get that time or the quarter mile time dodge advertised
Claudio Munoz because dodge did every single thing possible to have the most ideal conditions you can have to hit that time.
Devin Stambolziovski yeah, they probably had the wind at their backs too lol
AntiLag BoostAddiction "the demon actually takes skill to drive" *has automatic transmission*
Devin Stambolziovski implying that shifting is the only thing you do in a quarter mile?
since jeeps are notorious for their sports car like handling, aerodynamics, and low center of gravity, maybe they will put a 909 h/p engine in next years model.
paul w haha, I see what you did there.
Says jeep is known for their aerodynamics but a cow is more aerodynamic than a jeep
I hope they throw a hellcat engine in the Durango eventually. Also I hope they throw the Hellcat engine in the Chrysler 300
i-Spec honestly
They've confirmed a 300 hellcat
Don’t forget the Pacifica or caravan
i-Spec the 300 is so hideous though
you get a hellcat engine, You get a hellcat engine, YOU get a hellcat engine, EVERYBODY GETS A HELLCAT ENGINE!!!
On an entirely irrelevant note: I think this is the rare occasion where EE goes speeding on camera and had to black out the speedometer!
I've been to a little over 145 MPH in a 1989 Lotus Turbo Esprit; and i'm here to tell you there's no way in HELL I'd go 180 MPH in a Jeep with the aerodynamics of a closed garage door.
Seriously LOL....closed garage door. Thanks!
NorthernChev - ha I’ve been 70 mph in a Jeep, and I would have chanced jumping out if I had to go any quicker than that. So same
My favorite car nerd.
You can't help it but smile once you hit that accelerator.
Jeep Trackhawk: the official SUV of Oakley wearing dad's that yell at their kids in public
nah, this car is too fun
incorrect, thats the new Mercedes GLE and GLA
Nah that’s more like the GMC Sierra
Now, now... No need to argue. You're ALL Oakley wearing dads who yell at their kids in public. LoL
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
That stop start love it... Also love the description.. lot of information.. Thanks..
not a jeep guy, but this is the best jeep i ever seen in my life
HAWK3y3s93 m
technically i am faster than anything that is stationary when i walk
Nicholas Lau you in 3017 bro
you have risen above the masses.
The Demon is geared for one thing only.
Now you have to try the other side of FCA madness, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio.
Btw this trackhawk looks awesome. Powerful utility car.
I drop a few speeds all the time.
I own a 2018 Trackhawk, had a Challenger Hellcat before, love taking it to the track and blowing away all the "race cars" in the quarter mile. My best to date was a guy in a new shinny red Z06 Vette, ran him 3 times and blew him away each time, I'm sure he didn't like getting beat by a 2 1/2 ton SUV, LOL
This was an excellent review/road test! I don' t think I've seen anyone as tickled to press down the throttle as you since I saw Jeremy Clarkson test a modern W-12 Bentley in Japan. Nice job!
Bad ass truck! Awesome video
Thanks Brian!
Classic G-Body Garage, Serious Understatement
Well, *SUV, but yeah.
I think that each time he cut to a new clip he had refueled
great video as always, thanks!.. I really chuckled when you said "lets go ahead and drop a few speeds".. spit my water out
For those who are not familiar with the Trackhawk would try to race you, Afterwards they be like:😳WTF!!!!
Slower than the godly Corolla
nice name LOL
no.......
OH MY GOD!!!! YOU'VE INVADED UA-cam!!!
Toyota Corolla fan club hilux is best Toyota
you're everywhere
I would never dare to exceed 120 in a jeep. Id be afraid it would just explode or something...
AnimalzyNL facts 😂
You wouldn't explode, but you'd tip over😂
cathalferris last time i checked, q7's werent produced by jeep. Audis are obviously a lot better in terms of quality than jeeps. Then again, I wouldnt go 140+ in a q7 either, since even the 2018 rs4 becomes unstable at those speeds.
I mean it is Chrysler.....soo I would agree with you haha jk (not really jk)
Shows not one of you has actually owned a jeep.....
Let's go to the track and see who gets around faster. Bring any of your imports.....
The engineers who designed this vehicle must love watching its ability to make people straight giddy....
Trackhawk for the dads that need room for the kids but still can do the sport car thing . My dream car
Rear end gear?? Drag cars have short gears suv have tall gears
Noob question, what EXACTLY happens when a speed controlled car reaches its speed limit? Will it just stop accelerating ?
Back Seat Garage depends on the type of limiter... Some will just stop the acceleration while others (like my dart and dodge intrepid) will cut the power
Back Seat Garage I know in gm older gm vehicle's the fuel pump used to cut off
If you have a DBW throttle(electric, no cable), then it will just reduce the throttle so that you stop accelerating. Otherwise there will be fuel or spark cut, most likely fuel, lol.
I bet they have a very hard time keeping a drivetrain intact for very long. That is nuts though. When the camera can capture how much it sets you back in the seat.
A fact that I was surprised about in physics:
No matter how wide you make a tire, the coefficient of friction remains the same. This is roughly why you get no extra grip from the Hellcat tires despite them being wider (noting "roughly" because of compound differences). Tires like the Demon's are a softer compound capable of higher temperatures (temperature increases friction), but fall apart at greater speeds. Tires like the Hellcat's are not as soft, but their width allows them to reach a higher temp than say a bicycle tire of the same compound, and they don't fall apart at the extreme speeds that some may experience on track days, or events like the Texas Mile.
So reiterating what was said in the video,
Demon tires: Purposely designed and intended for 1/4 mile events
Hellcat tires: Most likely better for high speed tracks and drag events over 1/4 mi.
@engineeringexplained the worst part of test driving a beast is when you return to driving you’re own car and you’re car now feels slow🤣
But do they have a manual transmission option?
Well the demon is meant to get the lowest 1/4 mile time possible so no :/
But the hellcat challenger does and u can upgrade it
Manual trans are simply for joy. They do not make you faster anymore. Times change guys... automatic trans are becoming way more faster and consistent. Manuals will eventually mean nothing one day. All tho they are a blast to drive
Rikki Stick isn't fun at all if you live in a city packed up the ass with constant traffic.
Great explaining on the speed limiting. I recall the days of hacking my 1991 camaro where it had a 110mph fuel cut speed limiter. It wasn't a problem with an old 305 TBI but an engine swap to 330hp and I had to make some changes to the EPROM :)
I also am recalling having a little switch to go between different "programs" in a large EPROM so I had a "valet" mode that limited the speed to 30mph lol.
The rolling 30mph trees - green blur time on this thing is like 1.6 seconds. Nice.
I have a Toyota Prius and I could go faster going down hill :)
HomeAutomationX Sounds like things have definitely gone downhill.
What if my Prius was going downhill and the Jeep Trackhawk was going up hill. Who would win?
HomeAutomationX Depends on the slope of the hill.
90 degree incline😈
HomeAutomationX, I just heard of a new trick to increase the performance of your Prius... Find the main connections to the hybrid system battery, then with soaking wet hands, vigorously rub both the positive and negative terminals at the same time, one with each hand, press HARD. The electro-dermic reaction between your wet palms and the battery terminals provide you with a most shocking performance increase! 😉
my vtec beat both them...
oh wait i dont have a vtec
Vtec just kick in oh...
This is easily one of the best channels on UA-cam... keep up the good work my dude!!
I always wondered why it was out front in the Dodge "brotherhood" commercial...makes sense now!
arent SUVs meant for rough terrain???
168mph across rocks & ridges sounds a little wild to me
;) lol
on rough terrain over 40 mph a normal suv fall apart lol
Tony x get a landcruiser
True River no, SUV's are sport Utility vehicles and normally aren't good at offroading.
Bird Man That's true
most suv in yurop are fwd and with low profile rims
Well yeah. It's because the Jeep doesn't have the aerodynamic properties of an apartment complex built in the late 70s.
It was fun joining you on that test drive vicariously. Watching alone made me saw, "Wow!"
My first car was a 1996 jeep Grand Cherokee 5.2 limited. To this day it is the most comfortable car I ever sat in and that thing would move. Thing weighed 2 tons and still had a 7 second 0-60. Seriously regret getting rid of it
Hey, EE,
could you PLEASE explain why traction depends on the width (or surface area) of the tyre. Because in physics traction does not depend from the surface area. Hope you understood my question :D
Tomas Grikenis I have a video on this! :) Search my channel for “tire load sensitivity.”
It depends on coefficient of friction and normal force. That frictional coefficient is determined by the energy lost to heat when two surfaces come in to contact. In the simple math, SA aint a thing, but really, if you drag a 1 inch thick tire on the ground, it wont take any effort, but a 12 inch wide tire will make a hell of a difference. More contact area between the surfaces yeilds a higher coefficient of friction between the two objects' surfaces
Tomas Grikenis traction came from friction, larger the surface area more the friticion so larger the traction..
Frictional force=normal pressure*area*coeff of friction
If you want to get down to it, traction does depend on area. The coefficient of friction is derived from an object's "degree of molecular electrostatic interaction", or 'grip'. There's a lot of factors that goes into this, but one of the main ones is the number of valence electrons that actually interact with something touching the object surface. This is one of the reasons that tire compound formulation is so important.
the other aspect is purely physical, and that is that the surface area of the tire tread is Distributing the vehicle's weight, and downforce (during acceleration), onto the pavement. It's a combination of weight, downforce If the tire's acceleration torque exceeds the combination of weight, downforce, and the tire's static coefficient of friction, that's when you get tire spin/slide.
I wonder instead of the tires could it be the rear gear that limits it🤔
+Carlos Ramirez nope, swap tires and Dodge sells a $1 kit that allows you to remove the limiter. Gearing allows for much higher speeds.
Looks like the most fun you’ve had driving a car in a while! Great video!
Hi Jason.🙋 Very enjoyable video, sir. Your excitement and and resulting smile was contagious in this one.😁 Just speculating, but I'll bet after this review, you're probably itchin' more than ever to supercharge the S2000. Have a great week ahead!
I don't care that the jeep is faster, the demon looks way cooler than that overpowered mom van.
alex86 alex86
Totally misses the point of a factory sleeper...
Lauren C A factory sleeper? If most people know that a vehicle is fast from the factory, than its not a true sleeper.
Most people wont know it. Because, as you so kindly described it, they will think it is a "mom van". Compared to a Demon that actually made an attempt at looking like a sports car.
Logan Crawford Most of the people who wouldn't think this is fast, either live under a rock or they simply aren't car people. They wouldn't even care which car is faster in the first place.
Well that might make more sense. You meant "car people" instead of "all people" in your comment I'm assuming.
"Profanity proves neither toughness nor intelligence, only a lack of self-control, morals, maturity, language skills and character." BLD
by the time the trackhawk catches up with its higher speed rating, The Demon is having your lunch at a local Bistro waiting for you. 😅
Loving these review videos. Really unique.
Demon is geared for 1/4 mile, track hawk as more lax gearing for streey/strip/mpg(lmfao mpg)
Manufacturers make more American muscle, gas prices inevitably go up, people stop buying American muscle, bailout. Rinse and repeat. Unbelievable
Thoroughly enjoyed this review by Owen Wilson... "wow!"
Seriously tho i love your vids haha
So if we removed the supercharger and put on a turbo how much more HP would we get at the same PSI level? And how much better mileage?
I think it’s more rear gear then the tire there buddy
transmissions in this will last days or weeks..... and resale will drop faster than a piano off a cliff.
Prob rite
that's why we lease
All objects fall at the same rate g, or 9.8 m/s, ignoring air resistance. Galileo discovered this in the 16th century. If air resistance is taken into account, drag force is directly proportional to reference area as per the equation Fd = (1/2)ρ(u^2)CdA. A piano has a relatively large surface area and thus produces a large amount of drag. Therefore, your analogy is not as meaningful as it would have been if you instead used an object with a smaller surface area such as a thumbtack.
Adam Rozman I piano falling off a cliff is still pretty dang fast
Adam Rozman good point, but isn't it really about weight to drag ratio? The piano has a lot more drag, but it won't make a huge difference, since is so heavy. The weight of course doesn't make it fall faster, but it lessens the impact of air resistance. A thumb tack has little air resistance, but hardly any weight, so I think it might fall slower than a piano. A marble would fall faster, or even better, a larger steel ball.
Wow....a Porsche from the early 1970’s would get up to just over 155 mph. With a 2.2 liter 6 cylinder.
pretty sure a porsche from the early 70s doesnt weight almost 3 tons
I love the camera placement, blocking the speedo with the steering wheel :p
Long story short, its a amazing performing V8 strapped to a turd. Kind of like putting a Hayabusa engine onto a wheelchair.
If the wheelchair weighed 500lbs
Kind of describes lots of American cars actually.
Yet it beats every other car on the 1/4 so🤔🤔🤔
X Burst or a Hayabusa in a smart car.
Ignorant. Obviously you've never been in a Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Yeah but my Honda is faster
Your McLaren Honda?
Ba-dum-tsssss.....
snap :-D
TheKincognito if only XD lol.
I had to do the Honda joke at least once =p
Although, if it was the Prototype LM NSX like Gran Turismo, then it'd be faster XD
My Mountain Dew has more liters than your Honda.
Hype Man lol true
YOUR LAUGH MAKES ME LAUGH LOL keep up the great videos!! My brother has a Jeep SRT 2017
Names are scrambled. This jeep should be the one called demon, and the Dodge the trackhawk. This just became my dream car. It is perfect! Thank you for your unbiased review, I can tell by your reaction to it and you don't do that with any type of car.
Just one problem...
FCA.
K California classic
That's cool and all, but I don't think anyone wants to actually go 180mph in a jeep cherokee
JoeyBeanz why not why is everyone saying that
I take it you've either never gone 180mph in a vehicle or you've never driven a Jeep Cherokee. Putting those two things together is a recipe for certain death.
Explain . thats why I asked in there first place
Mil Wuray defiantly?
Awesome video, Loved it! Good job Jason! 😍👍
Great commentary and video. :)
And we have Jeep compass in India! :/
Yeah.. But didn't like them.. lot of feats missing..
That’s not a real Jeep lol
Muhluri Nkuna the clutch is done.. better overhaul before getting stranded. Also OP theres not much point in buying a Jeep wherever. There's better for every requirement and especially for the price.
Thats not a Jeep its a Cheep
I just don’t trust jeep..
Handling - Performance - and absolutely on my opinion is that the weight of the SUV itself are PERFECTLY matched the engine.
We saw how the euro super cars and Far East Turbo cars are Mixing their blue prints and the attitude of their own engine signature built can be modified by their neighbor car manufacturers.
Lastly. Now comes to our Generation. This will definitely improve more not only to the stand out power of GM’s and GC’s. But soon will be in the car industry.
I am so trilled with your calmness and on how you deliver the positive message to you listeners, viewers and critics aswel.
Cheers ‘
FCA is doing some crazy stuff this year. SRT and Hellcat 300's, SRT Durango in both rwd and awd, sadly though the word we're getting at my dealership is that the Challenger body will be discontinued this year
What???? A chickenhawk is faster than a dodge lemon?????
M Sladub you probably think you're funny. Sadly, you're not.
Neil Ram i am sorry you don't get it. Try it again and you will get there, eventually....
M Sladub I thought it was funny lol
i think he was
I don't always post flawed opinions of people making good-natured jokes; but when I do, I use the name Neil Ram to do it!
Stay jerky, my friends!
Fuel is still much too cheap.
It's amazing how much money people spend, just to impress their neighbor (whom they probably not even like).
good job analyzing the motivations of people you haven't met.
Yeah, to impress the neighbors. That's why we talk to them sooooo much
Sorry for the wall of comments... but I believe that brake force is more relative to pedal depression speed.. than pressure.. especially on initial bite.. although the sheer surface area of brake material in contact would dictate a harsh initial bite.
Sweet Jason I've been waiting for you to do a compare like this, my next question do you think GMC's ever going to offer an IRS in there Denali SUV?
My mom's Toyota sienna can go faster up a hill
my datsun can go downhill even faster than your mom's sienna because it got no brakes.
You just became the most uncool person on UA-cam...
Not really, he does have a point about the Sienna being superior to the liberal GC
Your mammas so she is the hill.
okay, i want you to replace jeremy clarckson on topgear.
thumbs up guys if you agree.
well, maybe he could get less civilised over time.
Jeremy isn’t even on Top Gear any more. None of the originals are. They have a new show all to their own.
Top Gear is only Top Gear because of the original 3 guys. That can never be taken away
I love how Jeep kept the sleeper aspect of the Trackhawk. Many people complained that it doesn't have a special hood or wing to differentiate it from the normal SRT. I would prefer if the badge looked different than the Trailhawk
The lack of a Dart SRT-4 was a terrible oversight by Dodge :( The original NSRT-4 was incredible.
Top speed means nothing
Yeah I'd say anything over 130-140 is a gimmick unless you can get faster than that on the quarter mile.
nitro spark yeah but it's great to brag about
nitro spark, the same argument could be made about ANY performance aspect of any vehicle. "0 to 60 means nothing", "lateral acceleration means nothing", "quarter mile time means nothing".
Really, this applies to ANY aspect of any vehicle, not even just performance stuff... "Passenger capacity means nothing", towing capacity means nothing", fuel economy means nothing".
Whether any spec does or doesn't mean something to you is ENTIRELY dependant on your personal preferences and opinions, as well as what you plan on using the vehicle for.
Caleb McCall Quarter mile racing is a gimmick...
The only people who say top speed is nothing are people whose cars have slow top speeds.
Before I listen to your reason let me explain. The demon is based on acceleration So it sacrifices a top speed now the jeep it's focused on power and higher speeds than before
Yet the simple reason for the Trackhawk being faster is due to the lower speed rating on the Demon's tires causing them to govern the car's max speed to match. It has nothing to do with the mechanics of the car itself.
Would gear ratios in the demon affect its top speed as well, aside from the restrictions from the electronic system and the tires?
All-wheel Drive is just a boss. Period. 😤
eh still just a Chrysler...
Fiat 😜
I respectfully disagree, while the new pacifica, 300, and 200 seem nice in initial quality (and sticker shock), they are not durable, and don't make me bring up the Dart...
my mother has a 2005 chrysler pacifica runs great just a loud fan belt
wht02cv nobody buys these card for reliability stfu
We have a know it all mechanic in the house.........any car is reliable if u maintain it. Lol this is a joke. Even top of the line race parts go out, break and need maintained. No brand is invincible.....
Isn't it just the gearing that sets limits on Top Speeds, but also allows for faster acceleration.
hey there, could you make a short video on what happens when you grind gears?
Although it may be faster I wouldn't personally take a 5+- thousand pound SUV to 180
I wish you showed the internals (suspension, engine air flow, etc) of the vehicles like you used to do for your old reviews!
Definitely would rather have this than the Cayenne
I think I should do it, and buy the Trackhawk. I always loved the Grand Cherokee, only Jeep product I'm a fan of. Should be fun racing some vehicles and catching tickets on the turnpike. I also love the Hellcats brutal cold starts.
That Jeep looks like a killer grocery getter
