Come back on Friday for our continuation of V8 muscle cars 😈😈😈
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!!
Its going to be short since the only true muscle car left is the challenger 😂
I'll be patiently waiting G
Shakedown and stick up
Guy’s the shaker is actually functional, there’s a tube that feeds air from the shaker behind the filter, if you take the shaker off, you can see a hole towards the right top corner.
At the prices they are charging for these, it is a shakedown indeed
Damn beat me to it! Great line good sir I tip my hat 🎩
You can put that blame directly on the EPA
$97k at one of the dealership near me 😑
😂😂😂😂
Don’t let Tim Kuniski (CEO) steal your hard earned money for this sticker crap!
@@chrisdooley1184dw it wasn’t his joke or yours
GM just invested in a new V8 family of engines, Ford still has a couple of V8s lurking around, JLR has some V8s in unreliable cars and Toyota is still trying to push luxury cars with V8s. Go show your support for the V8 by buying up these cars.
@@BlackTorrent so what you're saying is you'll settle for a lesser "overpriced" car. All cars have stupid markups these days and even AT MSRP, their prices are adjusted for R&D, overhead costs and some profits. You're not going to get a muscle car for 30 grand ever again. Your future new car will either be an overpriced gasser or an overpriced EV. Pick your poison.
Have you ever actually owned a JLR product with a V8?
Test drove Charger, Challenger, Camaro, Mustang- ended up with a 2023 Mustang GT Premium with a black out package. Got it in Jan, and I've loved every day with it.
@@doggedlydetermined7022 Range Rover with the lovely Bimmer 8 and its ridiculously dumb air ride.
@@CACressida times have changed since then. Their newer V8s have proven to be pretty solid engines.
The shaker is functional. There is a tube that runs from it to filter housing. You can see the opening behind the filter.
Yeah... Literally staring them in the face as they show the engine shot.... It bothered them so much they complained about it twice lmao.
beat me to it.
Still a ricey design made to look like it has a huge blower lol
@cokemachine62590 you sniffed entirely too much coke.
@@cokemachine62590 Not meant to replicate a Supercharger (Blower) the original shaker hood Challenger (70's) was normally aspirated. (Carb)
V8s really are dropping like flies. Sad time for us car enthusiasts.
I’m holding a 10 Camaro ss 13gt and 16 hellcat. Idk if I can but I want to hold onto all of them but parking…
Yeah but ford just made a post that said EVs just aren’t affordable. Bring back the v8
@@waterloo123100wow, who would've guessed that a 100k base trim f150 wouldn't be affordable for the average person
SaD TiMe fOr CaR eNtHuSiAsTs
The fuck it aint. There are more enthusiast cars on sale than there has been in a long time.
@@Lifeof728you’re not looking at it from a long term perspective. Before we know it we’ll be paying huge money to keep our gas vehicles on the road, or simply go electric. It’s the end of an era, these engines aren’t coming back.
The Shaker IS a functional air-intake, & the headlight IS NOT (though you can make it functional w/ a $50 OEM Hellcat piece). Just had to pedantically clarify that surprising double error, by double dudes!! ❤
Also, solid motor mounts would shake the entire car more, but the shaker less. Ok I’ll see myself out ✌️🚶🏻♂️💨
MAKES ME QUESTION EVERYTHING THEY EVER SAID
But there is a normal intake tube and cone filter in front of the engine? What exactly does the shaker intake do, I can't really tell by the shots they put in the video
@@Striballthere is a second duct through the back of the cone air filter that goes from the shaker to the filter. It is shown in the video, so I can’t believe they missed it
@@Striballit shakes 😂 🥁
But seriously it pulls air from the shaker part into the air box.
I'm in the plant on the line installing the springs in the chargers right now as we speak. Thanks for shouting out us at Brampton. We appreciate it guys.
I have a wide body scat pack on order. Thanks!
Don't get too distracted now 😅
Thank you for this Fridays video
Thank you! Ordered a widebody charger last year and love it thank you for building it!
My Last Call WideBody HellCat Jailbreak order is in there, if you can take 5 pics of that car in production line, I will pay $50 per pic :) + take you for a ride in it leaving tiremarks all the way :) [ @straightpipes, I have a V8 Shaker and 90% "common" non-car enthusiasts people think it's the fastest Dodge challenger because of that shaker thingy...lol ]
I'll never get over how auto makers are just tossing their coins into the ev world & stopping gas vehicles
It's like they think obiden is going to be president forever. Eventually we will have someone back in office with some common sense, that will unleash the oil and natural gas industry
They are not
@@hoonaticbloggs5402they're stopping Challengers and Chargers. No gas sales allowed in NJ after '35. Next year is last year for buying worlds #1 ICE, Camry. Just getting started, I'm afraid. The ones pulling the strings in this green movement are deadly serious.
I own a Scat Pack Challenger with a shaker hood and I’ve been a subscriber since the beginning. It breaks my heart to watch Jakub and Yuri say that the shaker hood isn’t functional. It is. It may not make more power on paper than a non shaker car but there are benefits. Also that headlight duct is not an intake. I know there’s a bunch of comments on this but I couldn’t sleep at night until I made my own 😂
Two more thoughts. It might seem obvious but I feel like the 8 speed auto trans makes the car feel faster than the manual. And both 392’s they’ve reviewed have been manuals. Also, the shakedown concept this was based off of was a Challenger 🫢😰
@717xcrunner well normally ppl that buy a manual (few ppl that do) is really bout control of the vehicle..Automatic definitely feels fast but.. i would definitely get a manual cus 70 to 80% thieves dont know know how to drive a manual
But they literally showed inside of it and it clearly leads to nothing. And they also showed inside of the empty headlight air duct leading towards the intake. Soooo… are you sure?😂
Hellcat air box base and tube extension makes the headlight intake functional. Easy mod. Lowers intake temps if you dont have a shaker. Other intakes pull from below the car.
The manual is also a 390 gear ratio. Much dif from the 8 speed auto the 390 really gets it out of the hole well.
I can't believe this is supposed to be replaced by "E-muscle".
It's a bit like replacing Red Meat with grass, just doesn't work.
After people wake up from yet another mass psychosis we will be back to V8s
I don’t know, worked out well for the new C63 😂
@@Oversight85 You mean the C63 that's getting smoked by the M cars and reviewers saying it's not as enjoyable to drive because of the added weight? It's 800lbs more than a M3 Competition xDrive. C63 is also a hybrid, not an EV.
Stop. Are we just glossing over Yuri doing a sick 720 back in the day?!! More shredding footage please!
End of an era. I used to be able to fix my truck myself; change oil, spark plugs, filters etc. Driving a laptop on wheels just doesn't feel the same, even if it's faster and quieter. RIP V8!
Farwell to being able to even work on own vehicles:/
The country is RIP. What you describe is liberty or Americanism. That's why it's being taken away. We just aren't mad enough and can't bring ourselves to believe what's really happening...right in front of us...based on a HOAX.
It may not have hit many yet but, we're definitely living in a historical event right now with the the charger and challenger. Imagine in 100 years the hellcats are brought up and how people who owned them were menaces to society and insanely fun these cars are, definitely a time to be alive right now!
The "shaker hood" actually does work. It provides a bit more cold air than a normal intake. There's some intake piping that goes from under the hood intake to the normal intake.
Just brought one of these home yesterday. I'm a mom of 3 and my dad taught me manual many years ago on a Mustang gt. I've wanted one of these for years so i could continue the tradition. I agree, the gears are loose and i too kept accidentally downshifting on the interstate yesterday lol. It finally started "clicking" today. My ventilated seats work great btw! Our butts were icy cold in 95 F today lol. Great review!
Edit: the shaker does ventilate the engine through the back right side... it's not just hood candy. The engine configuration is different on the shaker.
I was NOT "lucky" enough to get one of them. I inquired at several dealerships and I am disgusted that dealers are doubling-tripling factory recommended prices on the last call series. I was told 250-300k for the Black Ghost, "up to 500k" for the 170. (In Canada) Dodge shouldn't allow this level of greed. It hurts the brand as they are asking a fair price. A couple extra (or 10s of) grands would be ok, but this is outrageous. I am NOT lucky enough, but won't ever buy a stellantis vehicle ever again.
RIP Challenger and V8. You are legend.
If you had the chance, who wouldn't want a Hemi Challenger, Shaker with manual trans? Here's your chance to buy one brand new! That Shaker is just cool! ... and functional!
Dope Yuri! Didn't know you tore it up on the snowboard! Hope you still got them skills!
Pretty sweet ride. Love how it sounds. I've been a huge fan of that Bumble Bee logo!
Damn, Yuri s got mad skills on the slopes..nice work.
Had mad skillz
I've never been a "muscle car" guy but these just look cool. Kinda sad to see it go.
Being born and raised in Colorado in that era you bet your ass i shredded some gnar pow on the reg with my Jeep grand Cherokee with the Special Blend sticker on the rear window. Shakedown was a great video. My buddy helped film The Art of Flight!
It will never be last call for me and my family. Enthusiast for life here... If I have to buy used Muscle Cars, so be it.. The 392 has plenty of streetable horsepower and torque.
Take away gas engines and I'll quit driving. Hard to believe what's happening in the world of cars. Biden would have us all locked into electric cars without enough chargers so they can control us through electricity. If things keep going this way you'll have to get person points just to be able to own a car like the ccp does in China.
Earned my subscription with that Shakedown reference 😆. Yuri had a proper front 7 too. 🔨🔨
Shaker hood brings cooler air to the intake filter. So there is a function.
....glad I got mine when I did... Scat Pack, 6 spd, Dynamic Package... White knuckle, for the street the 6.4 is the best. everyday fun.... (daily in my case) before the Interest rate bumped up ...
The Shaker is functional. @ 3:00, notice that there is a hole in the air filter box, on the left rear corner. That is where the hose from the Shaker feeds into the air box.
LMAO the dodge last call thing was funny af with the dui reference
RIP V8's. Sadly, future generations will never know how awesome you were, how much fun and emotion you conjured, and how many tires you shredded.
You could probably burn more rubber in a electric car, if they were rear wheel drive
@jointhefist1016 And yet feel very "limp" doing it. Sort of like holding a rc car and "trying" to do a burnout😂
The leftists knew this would break morale if many proud Americans. It's why they feel like they're winning every morning and I feel like I'm losing.
Literally the first mod for a scat pack manual is the Barton short shifter. As someone who has a the car in the scat pack version. You get use to the power and you end up add mods just to try to squeeze more power out of it
And skip shift eliminator.
My 2019 RT cooling seats work so good. I wonder if it's just that test car?
Us car enthusiasts have really spoiled these last 5-10 years with SO many super cool cars being released, like the Hellcat and the Demon. It’s too bad this is the end of the road for the V8 Challenger & Charger, but let’s just be happy that Dodge made all of those beasts in the first place!! Great send off to the ‘Murican engine we all know and love Yuri and Jakub!
Now what? Think these fanatics are going to stop at 8-cyl? This country will be afoot or on camera-equipped public transit in the next 10-15 yrs.
All these “merican” engines and cars are made and produced in Canada 🇨🇦
@@tylerkriesel8590 Well, I know not ALL of them are. But, even if they were, that’d be perfectly fine with me! Personally, it’s not about where the engine is actually made. It’s about how it feels, how powerful it is, and how it sounds!!! I also feel like most enthusiasts would agree with that. 😁
Sad to see these go. Bought a new R/T Hemi Challenger last year. Has the 6 speed Tremec. Great car.
Traded in my 2021 scat pack for the Shakedown. It's truly a beautiful spec. Lots of fun while still being usable. "Old car, still around" is a good way to put it. Nothing has changed from the 2021 that i had, but it's still got the right amount of charm.
Dammmm !!! Didn’t expect to see Yuri shredding on the board 🤣🤣🤣
$85k for a scat pack is insane. you can get a hellcat for that money
The scats will hold their value more than the hellcats bc the hellcats are leased for a month by people that have a 300 credit score and bring them to takeovers and basically wreck them. I got lucky when I got mine I paid sticker
@@mikefranzen lol no, those are stolen sir.
Nice thorough review.
I think the Shaker is functional as a secondary intake, along with the cone filter.
The shaker pulls in air TO the cone filter... It's not separate. The air from both intakes meets there.
@@mpsangha 👌
No snowboarding for me, I hate winter. But flatland bmx and i still have my bike. I’m 42 and still ride occasionally. Want to get my kids into it.
Whatever you going through you will get through it.
That footage of snowboarding trick by Yuri from 2007 is really Yuri? 😮Damn boy!! He’s goooodd. I didn’t know he skateboards.
If Dodge doesn't come out with a Challenger Hellcat Demon DUI, they're really missing out.
They should come out with a "police chase" edition. Seems like there's an abundance of them in dashcam police pursuits on UA-cam
Just ask for a 6pack of budlight. Theres your DUI edition.
Cool video, though have you ever heard of the mopar 23 of dodge?.
Thanks guys! We've had a 2007 Chrysler 300C SRT Design (5.7L HEMI only) and really loved it for travel, towing, and performance. Too bad the body is rusting here in Toronto. Seeing these last V8s is exciting and sad. But, the future for our kids, grandkids, and beyond should still be exciting with its 'Fratzonic' pipe organ. Lotsa love to all. ❤❤❤
We definitely will enjoy higher speeds limits on some roads here in USA🚀🏎🤩😍🤩
The shaker IS functional, it's the shifter. You do the shakedown while it's in gear, as Jakub demonstrated.
I was upset about V8s dying until I bought an E55 wagon like Jakub's. Thing gets like 10MPG in the city. Worth it, but I can't imagine many people tolerating that
I must say the rock instrumental at the beginning caught me off-guard has kind of awesome
My son has one in Oahu. Black wide body shakedown manual trans. Hope he can bring it home to the mainland.
Makes me appreciate my 2021 ram 1500 classic single cab black on black
The red detail mix well with black color on that thing!
If I could do it again. I would only get the special editions of these cars. The shaker is cool and the hellcat Daytona is cool.
The laugh sums up the video 0:49 lol.
I’m about to purchase one of these. It’s a big car but doesn’t really feel like it. A lot of torque at low rpm but looks cool. Still deciding, I just have to sign the paper work..
the shaker is active, if you guys took the time to look you would have seen the port from the shaker to the back left corner of the intake box
Just get a hellcat 👍
That's embarrassing. The 2024 5.0 has one more horsepower than a 392 cubic inch engine😂. Dodge should have sent it out with more horsepower.
I remember seeing standard scats going for a very low $31k in Virginia
The shaker most definitely works , there’s duct work going to the air filter open your eyes
Agree with Yuri. I love older cars now. Non of the new ones exites me.
I love my challenger 2022 scat pack. But I keep thinking about the dark horse 🐴. If I should trade
I'm from South africa please tell me the difference between the shakedown, jail break, demon 170 and redeye.
Wow I didn't know the Shaker hood wasn't functional before.
Lol yuri is killin the transmission 😂
God i need a manual one of these in my life before I die. OH DAMN IT HAS 2 Piece rotors!!
Can't wait for another straight pipes build like the c6
James Franco enjoying the passenger seat 😂
Thank you straight pipes 🎉! Thank you dodge!!
Someone somewhere get them a Demon 170 to drive!!!
Ocean Gate joke was great 🤣
Bad idea Stellantis. Too soon, jr. Let the V8 live on.
That ocean gate joke…priceless…💀💀
Jus get these last call challengers and chargers they specials
What do you mean the Shaker isn't an intake? What do you think that big rubber pipe going into the back of the air box is for 2:38? Also, the headlight intake is blocked off...
The Shaker is 100% functional.
Come on guys, spend a little more time under the hood.
How much power does it add over a non shaker hood
@@TheStraightPipesYou're still wrong.
@@TheStraightPipes it actually offers the EXACT same performance as the headlight intake you incorrectly claimed it has. Probably could get more out of it with a tune with the access to colder denser air?
Stock? They all make 485/475 regardless of the intake.
Not sure what your relationship with Dodge, but if I was sending you products to test and you were completely misrepresenting a $2k option I would probably be less than thrilled.
Ymmv.
Ford Executives said the V8 is here to stay in the electric world. They'll continue Mustang production. That is, if people shop with their wallets instead of their mouths. If not, the v8 will die.
Shit the way they are pricing those "new" mustangs GOOD LUCK
I don't know of too many enthusiasts demanding electrification. If Governmental mandates miraculously vanish, long live the V8!
@@kbarrett1844 good luck getting all governments to remove their mandates 🤣
Shits over pal. The world has moved on.
@@Lifeof728 - We are nowhere near having the infrastructure in place for full-electrification of automobiles. Maybe in 30 years? Mandates are inevitable, but perhaps will go into full-effect long after I am gone...
@@kbarrett1844 nobody gives a shit about infrastructure. Hell half our roads snd bridges are crumbling too but you dont see people saying STOP MAKING CARS.
The infrastructure will figure itself out just like gas stations did.
0:01 New dash shows tires per 100km 😂
And they just unveiled a 8th edition, the mopar edition. They just keep on giving lol
I would love it if TSPTrue car was available in Canada...
This would be the one I’d want if I could afford it
My FAVORITE "Last Call" is my own personal 2023 Challenger 1320. TorRed with leather/alcantara seats with the Plus interior package, and of course an 8 speed auto ( only way the 1320 is available).
Nice
Comment the “Shaker” the engine hood scoop does function take it apart n see that their is a tube for more engine cooling
Makes no more power according to Dodge
@@TheStraightPipes “Engine Cooling” never stated more horsepower but I’m glad I got a reply thanks for these awesome videos 💯 🔥
sounds great
Been looking for these in Auto, can’t find em NOWHERE. 😢
I picked up my Last Call 2023 Dodge Charger Super Bee last week. I would let you guy’s review it since I do live in the same area however no burnouts lol those 315 nitto street legal drag radials aren’t cheap.
Thank god! The end of an big slow muscle car is never cause for regret.
I had my black one delivered a month ago, 6 speed, widebody, the only way to go.
Congrats! Got mine yesterday :)
just wondering, how much did you get it for? I’m looking at potentially getting one and trading in my 21 R/T 5.7.
I just came back from visiting Houston and every third car was a challenger lol.
last call, rare cars :swinger sub lime green Manuel only 200 builds, plum crazy,charger super bee wide body/500 builds,super stock 807hp,demon 170 ,3300 builds ,rare will seeing it at the drag strips or on the road , most are going into private collections in a plastic wrappers for speculation , my thoughts are 1 Manuel transmission, odd colors ,paint stripes ,painted hoods, super stock /1320 /redeye wide body s with no back seats or one seat for racing
We're gonna miss 'em when they're gone.
Dodge in 2023: The V8 is history and we are moving to EVs!
Dodge in 2026. Due to our stocks tanking because our EVs are terrible and too expense and no one wants them, introducing the new and improved 2026 Dodge Charger and Challenger!!
The shaker is functional and its part of CAI system. It directs air to the cone filter that also takes air from the headlight and bottom of the fender. I have a 2016 shaker with a 440ci in it on solid engine mounts and that removes the shaking of the shaker unfortunately. On Oem mounts you can see it tilt to the side when you apply throttle.
Best looking retro muscle car of all time. (Proof: The Camaro and Mustang needed to be 'refreshed' every three years. Dodge never touched the exterior on this one...)
So glad i got my challenger SRT 392 6 speed 32k miles for 25k
the only problem with used vipers challengers and chargers is it doesnt matter if it only has 10 miles on it they cannot be certified used cars by dodge. which sucks.
They should call it "The Stick Up"
392 isn’t the engine size, it’s actually the credit score you need to buy any dodge
Damn only 392 to grab one of these old fart then get stolen lol.
Thank you for the 😂😂😂
@@voodoodiecast that’s why there’s hellcats in hoods across the country
It's also the interest rate when you have that score.
🤣😂💀💀
Shakedown otw out the door for this incoming markup.
only 1000 of these???? doesn't the new mustang have line lock too? just seems like a dealership special that allows them up charge however much they want for a 392 with different looks
Wow another challenger how amazing it must be different from every other challenger we’ve seen since 2007
Somebody is having a case of the mondays.
I have a smaller slopiness in my daihatsu cuore on a gear knob ..! ;-D
date just two tone dang no more skx! lol upvoted!!
Just got last call swinger, and well below MSRP
