Dodge Challenger SRT 392 Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 сер 2011
- The Smoking Tire hits the canyons in the new and mostly improved Dodge Challenger SRT 392. Are the recent updates to the Challenger enough to make it a true sports car? Or is it still just a luxury cruiser?

This is the best Challenger review ever .... especially since I luv big butted women
Some people's dream car is a lambo or a Ferrari or Rolls-Royce mine is a dodge challenger lol
Jeff Horton 😂💯
But which one tho? Mines at least the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody
@Faze392 me too 😉
@Faze392 Just got it yesterday and it’s a SRT8 6,4 L 2011 automatic 😛
@Faze392 Thanks and have fun too 😉
I could not a agree more with the assessment of it being the last true muscle cars, the mustang and Camaros are great cars, but they are sports cars, not muscle cars.
The Mustang was more of a real muscle car due to its live rear axle and more retro interior. Now if your talking about the 2015 then I agree
I am older , I love plus size women , cold beer, and and shotguns , and I love this f--kn car .
matt, that narration was one of the best reviews i've ever heard. your an excellent presenter and i hope all goes well in your surgery. to everyone at TST, great work once again!
That was one of the best burnouts ive ever seen this car do on a review show.. well done man ty.
Loved this video. Funny dude there. Liked the "references" you made in the video.
get well matt, enjoyed watching you and rob during the bullrun, looks like a lot of fun! that guy in the r8 who wrecked was nuts. looking forward to more videos. thanks for providing quality content to us youtubers
"I sell blow!" LOL @ 3:17
@iMatt928 The mounted camera is the Canon 5D Mark II with 28 MM prime "L" glass on an 8" heavy duty suction cup. We're getting triangulation units next week.
Reviews from you are always waaaaay better than motor trend, fifth gear, or top gear, (and probably a few more I left out). This review had me laughing as hard as it informed me, which was a lot! Subbed!
@bitumen83 you can order international shipping from your country off their web site
Whenever I see a new smoking tired episode in my subscriptions it makes me happy! I love you guys!
Great video even with you just doing the VoiceOver, appreciate the dedication through all the pain. Best of luck with the recovery.
I love Matt's reviews! It's better when he's actually doing the driving but really cool, fun, fair and honest review. Jim
@atennisplayer I will ask around if they have any left
@chopedandsectioned then how do you know its better?
Omg best review ever. I lost track of the car completely with all the "she's a big girl" references. I was laughing to hard.
His girl - challenger comparisons were on point!
@StaticFalconar I hurt my back for the first time in 2003 doing the Baja 1000 in the BCS-1 class. Didn't crash or anything, but 20 hours of spinal compressions wasn't a good thing. Had surgery then, and the same thing happened again from just too many cars/planes/bad hotel rooms while filming The Car Show. So I've now had the same surgery twice.
Thanks this vid helped me out a lot hope you recovered quick
@HaamSammich that's how you keep the car in control, how else are you supposed to keep the car from speeding up?
@JoeRouMonsta Some people don't drive canyons, and they don't drive tracks. They just cruise around town to work and stuff, and for that, the Challenger is excellent.
And, they rule the dragstrips! The 392s in my area tear it up, plus they are still a beast on the street. Smiles per mile, and make great daily drivers as well.
Have a speedy recover Matt! Awesome show man!
@Bansheeflyr These are the "greasewood" style with silver smoke lenses
Thanks Matt, Hope you get well soon so we can see you behind those sick beast cars you get to drive. I really enjoy the smoking tire!
Good Luck with the surgery. Thanks for all the cool vids!
@nizmojoeblows yeah, but the challenger has a 6.4L V8 compared to your 5.4 (or 4.6), and is hard not to drive really fast. Generally when we test cars we observe far worse fuel economy than manufacturers claims, but in this car it was dead on.
Great job I am actually looking at a used one right now and this review really puts things in perspective to me about this car.
Dodge its the only one making muscle cra today...what do you spected
Mauricio Nuñez you do know that ford also makes muscle cars right they make muscle cars like the mustang gt and gt350 gt 350r gt 500 they have also the mustang cobra and Chevy also made muscle cars like the Camaro and corvette you don’t even know what was with Chevy and ford they were competing against being pony cars and mustang won but that doesn’t mean that Chevy couldn’t make cars anymore they still do it just that ford gets to put a horse on there car and that’s why the absolutely call it a mustang because it’s a horse
@@HirakuagaKatsui epic gamer move
Another great review, Matt. You continuously put out my favorite car reviews time and time again, and for that I say "Thank you."
Also, I'm loving The Car Show so far!
Another great review! I'm still a Mustang guy, but I have mad respect for the Challenger.
I just hope you're still doing okay after that surgery a few weeks back.
I wish you the best for your back surgery and I hope you have an extremely quick recovery! Great video as always Matt!! :)
Great to see a new video, and hope your surgery goes well
Great to see ur back bro!!!! Hope u make a great recovery:)
@zarinbals9 The Challenger's direct competitors are the Mustang and Camaro, why would I not talk about them?
@EatmyDust1311 I had a herniated disc. Fortunately, it's fixed now and I"m back to work.
kick ass show have loved this show since it first started keep the vids comin, oh and I LOVE the challenger 392 thing is just badass
good luck on your back matt, keep doing what you're doing man
great vid, i loved seeing the car and listening to your commentary
@DanishBeerpong itunes?
thanks for posting this despite your obligations to the car show, keep rockin matt!
@Boruc987 yeah. He saw me as I was leaving the Mogulaire Concours D' Elegance outside of San Francisco.
thanks for still putting up vids with the car show going on!
@ariell92 that video was for Garage419, don't know if it's still online.
more uploads please, great video btw
Great content, and great review on a badass muscle car! Absolute blast to own and drive, 0 to jail in seconds! lol
awesome review
@sabbathian you could easily keep them in one piece with this trunk, it's like a 70's caddy in there.
@Jigsjigz you can watch it on iTunes.
Great review and commentating!
Hey Matt, 7 years I was in a bad bad car accident, beat up from top to tows, they had to operate everything in my body, knie, hip, back, neck,... my back came out perfect, so no worries, have patience, rest well, you'll be fine in a while!
Thanks for all the cool car stuff over the years!!
@dieseldan420ca yes, probably, unless we're talking about a lightly used Z06.
loved the video as always. thx
@gegu256 its angeles crest highway outside of los angeles.
@TheRogueSS Matt already tested the Charger SRT8 on The Car Show, and you can look forward to his review of the Chrysler 300 SRT8 in the February 2012 issue of the free online magazine "Road Lanes."
@marem19 Unfortunately, they haven't. It's going to be episode 12 or 13, at the end of the season.
Good job on the review. This is the best one I have seen in a while. It delivers exactly what I was looking for, unlike the others that spend the whole time going over the interior.
@OksMoksi you can check out the review for the E550 Coupe on our main web site.
Really cool car! love the sound
Honestly, one of the best Smoking Tire reviews I've seen. Witty, to the point, funny, informative, boom. Well done!
The Charger is one of the most beautiful cars on the road period. The only thing I would ever change is give it fatter rear tires. I've always been partial to a car that can handle but the way this thing looks with that Dodge Viper GTS paint job, I'd be willing to make some sacrifices.
I just put a 3 year lease down on one of these (all white though) and I am absolutely pumped to pick it up tomorrow. Vids will probably be on my channel of me geeking out and shit. But your review totally helped me out and I'd just like to say thanks man!
Nice to see thesmokingtire back up good work matt
@silverbullet1979 good news, I'm all fixed now and I can drive again. back to work soon.
Love your analogies man lol.
@bottomlayer Well, the whole new SRT line, Challenger, Charger, Grand Cherokee, and 300, all use the same 392 engine with 470/470. The only thing the other cars don't get is the badge.
@jconnway thank you.
@andrefrbk we certainly hope so.
@DevPack we prefer the 2011 GT500 as well.
Great review, Matt. Get better soon, dude.
Great honest review. Get well soon Matt!
i laughed my ass off the whole time matt your reviews are awesome! :)
Let's see how he talks about the 707hp & 650 ft-lbs of torque of a beast hellcat!
is the hellcat lighter in design as well
Depends on you're view towards design, but if you want to know it's weight? Then just 50 lbs lighter then, but that shouldn't be an issue when you have that much power, I mean it got a 11 second 1/4 mile for crying out loud.
TheSPARTANkp97 im sure that 50 lb decrease in weight did help, probably why they did it for the hellcat...maybe it can get lighter and have a faster time, don't know. I also don't like the fact they removed the fog lights on the hellcat. but other than that its a great car, great aura about it, I wisj hellcats came in other colors other than red
Yea if they added black race stripes on it I wouldn't mind the red that much
babloo1666 you could get it down to 3600lbs or so with a lot of aftermarket goodie, like lexann rear window, lexann windsheild, carbin fiber trunk lid, carbin fiber hood, carbin fiber fenders, rear seat delete, and aftermarket bumper supports.
That squirrel at 00:32 just had his little life flash before his eyes...
@dieseldan420ca the 2011 GT500 is great. But you're talking about mod-ability, which is pretty useless in that car unless you're running full slicks. Countless tests have shown that the 750 HP Shelby Super Snake is actually slower around a race course than the 550 HP stock GT500. The Mustang's chassis is very versatile, able to be a $23,000 rental car or a $55,000 Shelby no problem, but it simply can't put down much more power than comes with the stock GT500.
So I see that old technology 392 is more expensive than Scat Pack Shaker model. Is regular 392 is better car? Can Matt or anyone explain this to me please?
@EddieVedder13 I'm all better now so I'll be back in the car in no time.
hope your back gets better soon man!
@RichardEllisxyz I would make the argument that a Trans-Am BOSS 302 with proper modern tires would beat the SRT8 around a track. And while I agree the Challenger pulls off the spirit and look of the original, I wish it were the size of the original. Park this one next to a '70 model and it looks like a minivan. And the interior room isn't even all that much different!
@crashnshaman A muscle car, by the classic definition, is big, heavy, and comfy, with a gigantic V8 under the hood that makes tons of noise but doesn't really make the car go all that fast. If that doesn't sound like the dodge challenger, I don't know what does. A sports car emphasizes light weight, handling, and making the experience of driving quickly on a canyon road or a track that much more pleasurable. Think Corvette, not Cobalt.
Nice review. Get well soon and good luck.
Those glasses instantly transform Matt into Shrek!
Amazing video mate! I totally love this car :)
By the way, hope that your surgery went alright and you're back to business
Great review
@TranceAddict2 The whole crew was working on The Car Show, and when we weren't doing that, I was resting my jacked up spine. Now that I'm fixed and we're wrapped for the season on TCS, we're back to work.
He’s talking about a BBW! BBWs are fun!
can you please tell exactly what is the name of your sunglasses? which model? full name of the color? because I checked their website and they have too many similar models. I don't want to buy and end up buying another model. please replay I would be so thankful, I really want to buy them. Thanks
@EatmyDust1311 No, a "lead slead" is when you chop the roof of a 1950's Mercury and fill in the panel gaps with lead. Whitewall tires, flame throwers, plush velvet, all that crap.
@MrMike2blu I'm legally obligated to be wherever Speed wants me to be, whenever they want me there. We are going to work around that schedule on TST, and we have several cars booked (including the new Bentley GT) so we'll be around.
yoo man great review even out of the car.........hope u feel better man good luck with surgery.
Stumbled upon this again. Despite the back surgery changing the format a little, I think this is one of the best TST reviews. A literally lost my shit when I heard "except in white where they scream "I sell blow!". Well done.
I think this has been matt's best review ever, i felt he covered a lot of ground nicely and made me want a challenger !! too bad i have a 350z ;) lol but also, thanks for putting in the exhaust sound through out the review, most other just blurr it out through out practically the whole segment
congrats on "The Car Show" Last week was my first time watching and i was like, "There's Matt!"
Does anyone know exactly which color this particular Challenger in the video is? There are apparently several different colors of blue Dodge has used on the Challenger, and I like this specific shade - trying to figure out which one it is.
Thanks
You will Love it! I love driving to work now!
This is a great car show. Keep it up.
hope you have a speedy recovery matt
all the best
It's so freaking awesome how Matt's comments[the host of Smoking Tire, usually] are the only comments that are thumbed up, keep up the good stuff and your awesome humour, buddy!
YES! You're back!
ilove challengers
amazing review
