The video is 7:07 long , well played sir !
Well done! It was a huge pain to get it to 7:07.
Wow! This is production! So ur getting almost Demon looks. The widebody just makes it that more menacing.
The car looks amazing. The wide body work really adds to the look.
Finally, Challenger looking the way it should of looked from beginning! Super BADAZZ!
I need this car in my life
We all do.
I saw a drag race between a Lamborghini vs. a dodge hellcat... Hellcat won! I even made a picture of a hellcat!
Man that's a beautiful car
Derrick B really?
I love my manual trans but the way the auto was downshifting and holding the revs was pure awesome!
We just tested one in the real world. Love that car with a manual, but the Demon...
🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Fantastic review, Brian! I enjoy your videos and find them extremely informative. This video sold me on the Hellcat Widebody. Keep up the great work! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thanks! Love that car.
Another awesome video Brian! This widebody in Octane Red OMG.... It seriously has me considering if I can afford two car payments right now because I just bought a Benz C43 (Needed something with AWD for the bad days). I guess I'll just have to make due with my Supercharged 6.4 Challenger SRT for now..... But videos like this just make me drool! :D
+Brett DiMichele Studios ah, man, this Widebody is soooo good. Thanks for watching! We really appreciate your feedback! Hope you enjoyed!
Anyone else notice his demon shirt?
+Bassmonstar no
Damn! Awesome looking chally! I need one😍
Looks way better, the one thing I didn't like was the Huge car with little skinny tires and the narrow looking rear.
Can't wait to get one!
Those downshifts tho 😍
Wayne Morris what down shifts? It's an a8 and he didn't touch those paddle shifters once...?
Bobby Fresh an automatic still downshifts
Wayne Morris obviously..? There’s nothing special about an a8 downshifting lol
Absolutely nice.
What an awesome review and camera shots. I saw on another review that the rims are 4lbs lighter EACH per rim, do you know if that is true?
Thanks. I don't have that in my notes. Depending on the source, that may be true.
Absolutely beautiful in white
I wish they would Improve the gaps on the body panels play it over and watch closely. I remember a 2007 impala v6 had gaps like Those! LOL
That transmission shifts so hard and quick.
+dobbins2550 wicked on downshifts, too
Love this car! 👏🏼👌🏼👍🏼
Great review. A must have for me.
Am gonna get this car!
Do it!
I intended to lol
Has anyone ever provide a full video review of the functionalities of the JEEP SRT. For example, audio, navigation, engine, steering (driving in straight-line), body inspection, memory settings, wipers, and etc. I have completed some research, and I have never seen so many SRT for resale (Whether JEEP or Dodge). I did made some phone calls to sellers, and did get some feedbacks regarding functionality issues. Let me know what you think. From what I understand, these are all BAILOUT vehicles. Safety is a concern.
We have extensive reviews of the Jeep SRT here, but the things you're asking for is something we don't cover. We're interested in how it drives. I like they way everything works and in fact nearly purchased a Trackhawk. Great all around vehicle.
Thanks Brian; however, I am very interested in reliability and real-life reviews. Most of these reviews are all about horse power, rims, tire, and exhaust note. Take that away for a minute. What else can be reviewed. Dodge, Chrysler, and JEEP are ripping their customer off. No offense to your video, but looking for a review that's truly engaged for the consumer. Hope this helps.
I see what you did there with the time stamp. . .
Good eye. Yeah, it was a ton of work to cut out those extra couple of seconds and get it right.
So you got options to buy regular ones and widebody version of it or?
Ahhh im not really feeling the widebody look i hope its an option to delete widebody on the website
You can still get a regular Hellcat.
Is it auto rev matching just off deceleration?
Under heaving braking. Track mode works exceptionally well with the auto.
This thing does NOT need to be any wider than it already is
Oh, yes it does. Driving a regular Challenger today and the Widebody is the way to go.
i fucking love yellow !!!!!
Brian, what are the specs on the new tires??
305s on 20 x 11s for the Widebody vs 275s on 20 x 9.5s on the regular Hellcat. There's a P Zero all season available, but the better choice is the three season P Zero which is what I drove.
Brian Makse, right on Man. Thanks
How would you put it against the Camaro ZL1 1LE?
+Eugenio Picado dunno. Haven't driven a ZL1.
Brian Makse whenever you do, cool if you pass a comment on comparison for braking and handling
+Eugenio Picado pretty sure I know which way that's gonna go. The Hellcat is the real muscle car. The Camaro is a pony car with sports car cred.
They're not on the same league so that comparison would be pointless.
I prefer the look of the previous Hellcats. I'm not a fan of the flared wheel wells.
+pjpaella I can appreciate that. I prefer the Widebody.
so it"s the same car with better tiers and a widebody
billy heaton and the electronic steering
America !
Made in Canada!
Brian Makse yes they are made right down the road...watch the carriers heading to Detroit non stop..
Great video...
I would love to buy one but where I travel up in Northern🇨🇦 I need my Hummer's & jeep..
Cheers from 🇨🇦
Luke
Assembled in Canada would be more accurate…..Apple pie baked in Canada doesn’t make it Canadian. ;-)
What is the cost?
Whatever the secondary market wants. They're all spoken for now.
I think I will be owning one in the Future.
Terry aka tigerhonaker
+Terry Honaker don't hesitate!
MOPAR or no car!
Good job bruh. You really are the "Hellcat" of car journos, and in this day and age, this is more than what people want, it's what people _need_
#MAGA
+Khu NoPie what people want, at least on UA-cam, is crap content by journos that couldn't find an apex if it punched them in the face.
"government pressure to go electric." You sound ignorant with that one!
he didn't say "government pressure". He said 'emission consideration and political pressure"
+G. Warren where's the pressure coming from?
Brian Makse epa
Dodge should redesign the Magnum and bring it back as a Hellcat. It'd be the sickest wagon on the planet.
For all three people that would buy it.
This is a bogus video, look at the dam yellow mirrors in the video. What's up with that? The car is supposed to be red.
Good eye! Yeah, it's a totally bogus video. I didn't go to Indianapolis and drive three different Widebodys on Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Did you not see the entire line of Widebody Hellcats sitting in a row including yellow? News Flash Cap'n Tin Foil Hat, not everything is a False Flag! :D
He's driving a yellow car then they show a different one around the track.
ZOMG! I didn't know I wasn't supposed to drive three different Widebodys at the launch event!
Bad to the bone!
I thought it was called the demon
ua-cam.com/video/LnX3brDrCJw/v-deo.html
You have the regular 392 SRT then the Hell Cat and then the Widebody Hell Cat and at he top is the Demon.
Budget version of the demon.
So you're going to do a car review in an auto but didn't bother using the paddle shifters at all?
Think if you're doing a review on a with such caliber, with an auto trans perhaps you should have used one of the best features on the car. The paddle shifters...
Paddle shifters? Clearly I failed to articulate that track mode shifts perfectly for you on track.
Brian Makse even though track mode slightly alters the shifts points, I think the paddle shifters still would have been the better route. You still would have benefited from the track mode suspension and traction
LOVE this car but I wish they made it handle like the Camaro SS 1LE!
On a big track the Hellcat is quicker than the Camaro SS 1LE
Thar Camaro is a sports car the Challenger is really the last real muscle car
NutNbutSpeed: Widebody pulls .97 g's on skid pad, not too shabby
I don't like anything from dodge...they are junk! But I like the wide body look!
rhino250r Ive never had a bad one. Stop basing your opinions in the 90s when daimler and that other company screwed them
Looks better without the wide body.
Boring car. It's beautiful and fun... as a manual only. The wheels aren't as nice -
