- Опубліковано 12 чер 2024
- Dodge claims it’s 797-horsepower 2019 Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye can post a 10.8-second quarter-mile time, but the only way to find out for sure was to test the car (and the claim) ourselves. Watch the video to see if we can prove it.

The new dual snorkel hood looks so aggressive in person, it has more of a muscle car vibe than the first generation hellcat hood
muhammad sajjad agreed man
Agreed!
True
Matador Hernandez I agree as it as designed after the 1970 model year Mopars and looks great, although a lot of people don't seem to like it for some reason but think that they will get used to it. I like the Hood on the demon a little better but think that this looks great as well, either way Mopar is rocking it these days and is blacktop King
Kinda like the old cornet
The latest mustangs and camaros just dont captures a true muscle car essence nothing like this car. Epic stuff from Dodge
LMFAO Ford and Chevy Making sports cars they give a fuck about Dodge
I'd say other way around. Dodge is giving up on the platform and just slamming it down the strip. Forget design to fit more tire for aero. Nah stick on fender flares from the jeep. The platform has been the same since it came out. It's not even trying to mess with the formula as it just throws more power at a heavy pig.
@@masta51 pretty much
an old outdated Mercedes Benz chassis that's been pimped for over a decade. yeah I hear you buddy!
@@masta51 If it ain't broke don't fix it. The platform is still badass, so what work do they need to do to it?
10 second 1/4 mile, 0-60 in 3.1 seconds and weighing over 4k! Just plain awesome! This is the first editor I have seen that actually knows how to drag race a car. No bull crap paddle shifts or ect (he let the car do the shifting and he set the parameters up correctly). Heck, he even beat the manufacturers 0-60 time! Way to go big guy!
10.88 on street tires full interior and with big boy driving that's impressive I don't care what nobody say! Some Hoosiers Skinny's in the front one seat 10.5
car!
Oh hell yeah dawg
Facts......just facts of life.....my favorite car
@@JP-lw3bt AGREED
Much faster than that.My friend ran 10.54 in a hellcat on sticky drag mickey thompson tires @129.54mph.Bone stock.
It only whent 126 in probably in negative da.. and I hardly doubt he cut a 1.6 60ft on “street tires”... dodge pays these dudes to say anything for sales ...
That's the exact exterior I'd choose, plum crazy and black stripes😍🤤
I would be chewing my fingernails deciding between black or white stripes.
The strips are on this package are carbon
What about the orange one
This car is insane. Yes, I want one!!!!!....
Awesome that the RedEye can do 10.88 with Street Tires. My best time in my Charger Hellcat was 11.88 with the Factory Street Tires. Imagine what both can do with Drag Radials.
Ral Hellcat well what do you expect? It has one million horsepower after all.
U can get that hell cat in thr low 10s with a pulley and a tune, upgraded driveshaft too
My old 2016 Hellcat Challenger A-8 ran 11.2's at 126 mph. Next year i plan on racing my new 2019 Redeye. After i get more break in miles on her.
Ral Hellcat just a simple set of $650.00 rear DR’s & Your HC Charger On Stock boot in good D/A Will 60ft at around 1.50 & hit the 1/4 in around 10.7 @128mph.. it’s been proven time after time
that 1/4 time is borderline insane for a factory car at its pricepoint. I haven't really been crazy about the challenger, but boy this is swaying me.
Fenster was
Your local tire shop is going to love your new Hellcat purchase. 😆
What an excellent video! I believe that you are probably one of the only people that went through the settings and how to use some of the features like line lock so that we could actually see it clearly.
I don't think that Dodge has a video tutorial that comes close.
High quality and much appreciated.
Thanks.
Dodge 1320 will be 1 sec slower for 30k. Less. Dodge is killing it in the muscle car segment.
Dodge has always killed it in the Musclecar segment.........The Muscle car era started the day the 426 hemi started production and ended the day dodge stopped producing it.
Yup
It's the only muscle car dumbass cause Ford and Chevy making Sports Car's
kyle stewart yes they are and I love how they are focusing on their performance minded customers, they are bringing us the goods
Yeah but if we are doing a 20-40-60 roll race this hellcat will fly
This car is awesome, 10 seconds off the showroom floor. Great review.
10.88 on pump gas, street tires, and with 350 pounds in the driver's seat. I'm impressed.
10.8 stock.Amazing. plus anything that traps over 120 mph is insane.Thing probly pulls like crazy on a highway roll to
Seems like the car could do a 10 flat if they got a driver that was less than 400 lbs. Danica should move to being the factory test driver on these
😂😂😂😂😂
Chris Weatherall you damn right 😂 that fat fuck weighs 3 people haha
5 passes and they ran a 10.8, I'm almost afraid to see what it'll do with the optional gear and a lot more practice.
Yeah a fat tire and a skinny driver would make a big difference
@@moose5.9 lol the other driver not shown got the 10.8 he's like half this guys size
If you look at the timeslip and consider the conditions, it’s hard to imagine doing better.
@@christophermorales1509 not hard to imagine at all....steeper gear will get it into the powerband sooner at speed so it should help reflect that in the ET and trap speed. lots more practice runs to nail the launch coupled with the gearing, 2 tenths or more better is very possible!
He already nailed the launch and jumped into the power band. He went 1.65 on normal radials. And this was in 40 degrees.
3.1 sec 0-60 and 10.88 that's a beast
Hold the phone did they just say that they beat the factory 0-60 time
Nice!
@540 MUDSTAIN to me anything 12 sec and below is fast no doubt
@540 MUDSTAIN also the best mod I would do if I had a diablogato is put it on a diet cut Iit down to viper weight and give it nittos or Mickey tompsons and if I wanted to spend money on a upgrade I would just go 3.0 whipple
@540 MUDSTAIN yeah I think weight reduction is one of the best mods speaking I have a srt6 that can run high 11s just because it weighs 2950lbs but I modded it to have 470hp plan on 392 swapping whenever the motor gives up ( probably in 20 years because I've never had a mopar engine fail on me well I was always taught to take care of my car so basic stuff like oil changing when it needs changed and lucas fuel injection cleaner every 6 months don't let it run on 1/2 or 1/4 tank and you keep you engine pampered and she will treat you nice that's what I was taught )
It was a prepped track. I'm pretty sure they don't test on prepped tracks when they measure standard 0-60s.
Great video!!!! Very informative!!!! Thank you.
Mopar is King of American muscle period. Put some rubber on that car, E85 with a tune and it might go 9's.....
Lighter wheel /tire package...oh hell yeah....9s
No it won’t .. demons cant even do it... look at the slip carefully..no way that car ran a 1.6 on street tires
@@justa5oh136 oh but i bet if it was a mustang....all would be fair game right?...but since a DODGE did it and has more capabilities from the FACTORY then any LEGAL FACTORY mustang...oh now its a problem.....smh...yeah ok...
Fool Demons been running 9's stock since early 2018. Stay quiet if you don't know what you talking about.
You guys love to eat up what the manufactures and these bought reviews say.. I state my facts from what all we real racers see at the track... where’s the 9.65 time slip at huh.. 🦗.. no one has done it with how it comes from dodge... the demon is a beast no question about it... but please know what they tell you is all bs
At 6:47 how the hell did it hook up so good? Those are still the P Zero street tires.
How did you get the stripes on your car????? I have a 2019 Wide Body REDEYE on order and was told it was NOT AN OPTION. WHAT GIVES????? By the way your video was "ABSOLUTELY GREAT". I really enjoyed it.
Just saw this... Great review... True justice to the car!!
Lose some weight and drag radials it's a low 10's car........then add tune and smaller pulleys and we're talkin high 9's.
Pretty damn impressive for a near 4800 lb vehicle with heavy driver.😎👏
Plus & Best Of All.....it truly looks like an old school True American Muscle car, unlike the Chevys or Fords of today.
Great Job DODGE!😎👏
Damn 10.8 all stock
And a bit extra weight in the interior :P
You could get that time down a bit if you put a little engine load at the start
Beautiful Mopuppy absolutely Awesome!!
Hellcat 4200lbs. Hellcat + driver= 5000lbs
LMFAOx1000
The redeye actually weighs 4514 pounds
Definitely this guy when he’s driving it.
I was driving my C7 Zo6 one day at 3am. Empty interstate and came upon a redeye just minding his own business.
I blipped the throttle a few times and took off.
I was going around a sweeper and went as fast as I felt comfortable. Maybe I could go faster idk. When I looked back at about 120mph the Redeye was like 3 feet from my rear bumper!
I thought yeah, fat heavy redeye what can he do...with a good driver in a Redeye you get over confident and cocky then find out.
I wound up buying a Redeye and miss the vette's great gas mileage and more but not the terrible 8spd auto tranny in the C7Z.
The best plan is to have a Redeye AND a Vette!
Yeah looks like the Challenger should be towing him……………..just ridiculous
Thanks for the tips I just bought one😊👍
Whats the paint code? Its like plum crazy with a twist on video.
I saw a stock widebody red eye at the dragstrip this past weekend, he ran all afternoon and his best time was 11.1 at 127mph ! He did a review for Popular Mechanics you can read his review on their website.
Great car and fast
We got Are ready to 8.9 seconds quarter mile great video thank you
How come no one is doing a review on the 2019 717 hp hellcat
That's about right for its time... since the demon is naturally a 10.4 car with its factory tires ...this car running a 10.8 with just a few less HP lines up...nice job Dodge!
Why don't I see any redeyes for sale?
So much tech in a muscle car😎🏁
Did they fix the diff?
The Hellcat is still a better value for the money
Yeah, regular hellcat gives you 90 percent of the red eye for 10 grand less. You could get a lot of great mods for 10 grand. Red eye is still a nice car though
But the dual snorkel
The new 2019 regular Hellcat has the dual snorkel as well :)
True, and you can whipple it instead of buying a whole new car, or even wait on the hellephant supercharger that they'll be selling separately.
@Jays Gameplay/cat videos who cares how it sounds.. you can't hear a supercharger when I'm 5 cars ahead of you.
I luv the look of this car and am truly impressed with what Dodge is bringing to the table...especially for drag racers. This car will go much quicker stock, my guess is 10.6s or maybe a little quicker on the factory tire. My stock ZL1 has run a bunch of 11.0s, and a 10.9 once. There's no way I'm even in the same league as the Redeye. It would definitely be on my list of must have cars.
126mph trap speed is kind of slow for a near 800hp, automatic drag car... Back in the mid 2000s the C6 Z06 trapped 124mph straight out of the factory on street tires, manual transmission with long ass gears and 505hp. I don't get it... Why won't Dodge make a light factory drag car? What's the point of just beefing up a Challenger that weighs almost as much as a SUV if you want to make a drag car? The modern Challenger is even heavier than the original 1970s Challenger...
why won't they make a light factory drag car? because it's a daily driver, road trip, and weekend "drag" car all in one.
A lot of the weight has to do with all the safety nannies built in. All the cars are noticeably heavy (as far as on paper such as magazine articles) lately. Some manufacturers have done a good job hiding the weight, at least from watching numerous videos of people testing new cars stating. I guess the tradeoff is being safer in accidents, with less serious injuries. But I have been thinking this for years; why are most mainstream cars such elephants now--both in power AND weight? As far as trap speeds go; my uneducated guess figures it has to do with good 'ol fashion gearing--the 'Vette example you gave would have been geared to go fast at top speed, i.e. burning up the autobahn. This car is geared for quarter mile, but also happens to knock on 200 mph probably due to the power it has, not because it was meant to be a 'Vette.
The curb weight of that Z06 was around 3150lbs. (+ / -). The curb weight of this car is around 4550lbs. (+ / -). Dodge made a street legal, factory drag car, it's called the Demon and customers have run 9s at nearly 140. That car weighed around 4200lbs. (+ / -). The Challenger is built on a L platform, "L" stands for large. The Mustang and Camaro are built on mid-sized platforms. Another factor to consider, crash standards are much stricter now than they were a decade ago. In general, all cars are getting heavier. Another factor, the Challenger has a grip on a small niche market, large coupe with some practicality - large trunk and backseat, relatively speaking. Challenger has outsold the Mustang in the last two months. It may outsell the Camaro for the calendar year 2018. The Challenger doesn't pretend to be something it's not, a track car. It is a grand touring car or a street-strip car. It does that very well. The Mustang and Camaro are the ones struggling, sales wise, right now, not the Challenger.
Yeah and that plastic car was probably 1000 lbs lighter.
@@dougkreutz7701 Are you trying to say the Dodge Challenger is made from better materials? 😂 Dodge Challenger: Outdated Mercedes steel chassis that's prone to rust, cheap ass steel body that's prone to rust, blowing differentials etc. it's nothing but a heavy rust bucket. Meanwhile C6 Z06: all aluminium chassis, carbon fiber fenders, glass fiber body (which is a good thing), magnesium roof, forged titanium rods etc.
How about using drag radials
That car may not handle the best but man the looks!!!! When you pull up with that everyone will want a look.
Plum crazy is this best color Mopar offers!
Wow they brought it to Great Lakes dragway last time I was there 3 ppl got killed
That thing is damn violent for factory...love it.
Stomach wouldn't allow full throttle application.....need telescopic steering column or adjustable pedals option for faster ET
0:35 speaking of too big and too heavy..... 🤐
RoadRunner lmao. That’s what I thought
🤣🤣🤣
RoadRunner 😂😂😂😂😂
Cleetus M 😂😂😂
Have you tested the 1320
Beautiful!!! Amazing!!!😎😍❤
Bro ive seen those thing jerk outta that light way faster on street tires....the launch on those things are amazing amd the 60ft is even better and on top of all that the the top emd gets even better
I don't think the redeye only gets the chiller, the 2019 hellcat gets it as well (I've read) ill confirm later
That purple is nice
Love this car !!
It could have ran faster but you alone added 300 pounds of more weight a skinny driver would have gotten a faster time.
Jason Voorhees ikr
🤣🤣🤣
Is Jason Voorhees like 6'5" and 250 lbs...
@@bwmclaurin Nope im 6"4 and 220 pounds still lighter than him
Jason Voorhees meee!!!! In my mopar group I only weigh like 110 pounds 🤣 and I took out my back seats and I just pull on my friends even my friend with his tuned Challenger 😂
Best looking muscle car on the road, what a beast!
Side note: Pirelli P Zeros are extremely overrated, if you do get one of these beasts (or even other SRT models) you should replace them as you will go through them quick! Super soft and really aren't as cracked up as they're made out to be. That is coming from personal experience and experiences of buddies and other car club members. Just my opinion!
Has anyone tried the tires
That’s badass.
Yes indeed.
Damn so if I cop 1 I got 2 go 2 drag school just 2 understand what's going on the dash
Nice!!! Whats the sticker for this car?
About ninety grand as tested starts at 70,000.
Best car of the modern era hands down
Yeah buddy, GLD, fun track, was even better back in the day, but still good
Funny thing is Motortrend did a road course with a hellcat against ZL1, every time the hellcat beat the ZL1, they could not get the ZL1 to match its time
Im a. Big fan of heavy cars like the dodge its my dream car😗
While normally not a great Dodge fan the Demon and Hellcat Redeye have changed my view of American sports cars: no lame & ugly ducklings, but mean racers built for the track. Great engineering too - hats off to Dodge !
90 hp more actually. Also, I found it ironic you calling the car too big and too heavy lol. Seriously though, great review!
Would break 9's with a lighter driver..
SheepEatingDuck and a fatter tire
Pretty sure the added weight helped the 60 but killed the top end.
@Russian Bot from Russia Because if they drove a smartcar, it would never get to 60mph
Or a better one.
Bruce Leroy: The same as skinny guys and fast cars.
Way to sneak the track prep in there.
No the power Chiller does not work that way, basically the AC unit is directed into the intake of the supercharger and drops Temps up to 40 degrees. I think that is excellent engineering and pretty cool that they thought of using the AC that way
I wish manufacturers would do something like this with most any car--years of living in the desert southwest where the temps top 115 F for weeks in a row, really takes a toll on cars. Anything that could help would be good in my opinion.
culcune yeah it would be useful and I know what you mean because here AZ it's too damn hot to run them in the summer months and our tracks close. It's nice now though and while the rest of the country is Frozen in, we are just opening for the winter season LOL
GREAT CAR
Damn i only have 5.7 hemi challenger need a up grade
Allrite that's it I'm getting a '19 Redeye & let my 392 SRT8 rest a while ~ Looks like this is the last year of the Dodge Bros. big blocks
Is it available with the 6 speed?
It should go over 130 mph and easily go 10.3 on drag radials.The mph you ran is really low for a red eye.We have a 2017 hellcat challenger here in Montreal at Napierville dragway that ran a 10.54 bone stock on drag radials @129.54 mph.Red eye should be much faster and trap higher given the extra 80 h.p.
camirocz drag radials doesn't mean it's bone stock sorry
Russell Coight stock power train.
What kind of drag radials?
@@edward9099 Mickey thompson R
I like how paint code matches my hair.
Dealer mark up for this thing will be hilarious.
you mean STEALER markup
fall back those bullishit stealerships
there's a redeye In a dealership near me in Frisco TX selling at MSRP
Ryad Hasan Ahmed really lol??
Ryad Hasan Ahmed and what's the MSRP??? (prob $150k) lol
The Driver needs to run the quarter mile, not drive it.
I'm a Ford guy but I love how the car leaves!
Ohhh be still my heart! 😍
Nice
Chevy dodge and ford are coming out with some badass muscle cars
Long live Ma MoPaR and all her cool toys...........
If that motor is able to push a car that already weighs over two tons with a large man in the driver seat down the quarter in 10.8 seconds, imagine what it would do in a lighter chassis.
Plum crazy baby!!!!!
Cause I see deferent fingers on the performance page
Great video I got one we tweet it will push them 1080 😏
If I was behind the wheel, it would be 10.68. Driver weight matters just as much as car weight. I’m 152lbs. Perfect weight for racing and precisely why I keep my weight down.
Running in 40 degree temps and pulling a 1.65 60ft on normal street tires. Don’t expect more from this car stock. Your results may vary.
Great lakes is right down the road from my house lol
That is the exact car that I want, the color and options, how about selling me that Car for really cheap please?
Looks like he already had the widebody package.
I'm generally not a huge Mopar fan, but to dislike this car is unamerican. That's why I bought a Hellcat years ago. Might be time to trade up, waiting to see what the new mid engine Corvette ZR1 or Z06 will do.
Talking about weight but someone’s tummy was bumping the steering wheel on the course.
This kind of driver kills the HP to Weight ratio. 😑
J Pedro it’s 4400 lbs without a driver. It’s already 1000 lbs overweight.
Always the innovator never the imitator..
Well if you didn't weigh 350 that's another tenth or so . Put a 180 lb. Guy in there .
Those things are sick. ...love the front of em....look so mean and mad
Soon to be mine
It doesn’t have demons engine in there.
