- You best purchase stock in a petroleum refinery and tire company, because this bear will have people bleeding money. That is unless you go flat out to prison. The Hellcat is a beast, however is it actually any good? As a 4 door car it's hard to imagine much competition here, you have to go to the coupe market or cars like the Z06, Ferrari, Lambo to have this much brutality.

Please never never never stop doing the shop part. You're the only reviewer that does and I love the engineering behind cars
Fadic 4 yes, one of my favorite part of the reviews.
That's why I subscribed
As long as Scott does not open his own 3 cylinder performance shop we will continue.
Definitely an edge for the channel, along with the honesty of the commentary.
Fadic 4 I'll
Did Turbowski predict the 2018 Hellcat Demon at 4:15??? That's wild!
+Shenil Kaithathara Turbowski: Oracle, K-Pop fan, mechanic... what can't this man do?
Shenil Kaithathara
cure cancer
that's what am saying wow!!!!!
Turbowski is a senior engineer for Chrysler.. he was subtly leaking the Demon. Keep an eye on this guy!
"I don't see this engine being around for very long."
"Hopefully it is... hopefully they put it in every car they have."
Yeah.... Turbowski called it lmao.
Yeah, he even mentioned they should have called it Demon. I think FCA was watching.
Years later
I would like to talk about the relationship between the unequal half shafts and wheel hop. The quick and easy answer is this: the half shafts and the super skinny drive shaft are tuned to avoid hitting each other's resonant frequencies.
Here's the more long winded one. If the drive shafts are symmetric, the rotational stiffness in both left and right axles would be the same. If the shafts are completely the same and the wheel/tires are the same, the left axle and the right axle will have the same frequency response. During a launch where all resonant frequencies are excited by stick-slip action of the tires, the resonance on one side will feed into the other through the LSD and create even higher displacement vibrations. The energy from the rotational resonance is fed back into the chassis in the form of linear vibrations. To avoid the resonances building on each other, the half shafts are tuned to have resonances away from each other. In order to get the highest frequency separation, the rotational stiffnesses will need to be as far apart as possible. The ratio of the fundamental frequencies is the square root of the ratio of the torsional spring constants. If one side is 4 times stiffer, the ratio of the fundamental frequency is only 2 times higher. That may seem a lot but for low frequency resonances such as wheel hop, we're looking at only a separation of a few Hertz. eg: 6Hz fundamental vs 12Hz fundamental for a 4X higher stiffness, only 6Hz separation of fundamental frequencies. Hope that helps explain why the shafts look so uneven. And why the drive shaft may also be so skinny.
Mark Chu thank you for your thoughtful response
is it specifically for resonant frequency and not torque displacement?
All that and those skinny ass tires don't even hook lol
Yup.....what he said
What about torque steer though?
0-60 in 3 gallons!!! LOL
Have to tell The Wife who hates my Honda Civic si because it's a manual that I just found a car with an automatic that I would be willing to own! Thank you! you just saved my marriage!
Just Kurt big big jump in power haha
Just Kurt went from 80 horse and no torque to over 700
MisterNiggaX exactly my point Honda guys usually don't realize how badass these cars are even though it's a 4 door. But when they finally sit in one they are blown away.
Why not get a new wife that can drive manual?
Why the fuck doesnt your wife buy her own car
The Hellcat was a Carrier warbird during WW2 and it dominated the air in the pacific against the Japanese Zero.
Jared House I just read your comment and damnit you obviously beat me to the punch by 6 months....right on
Nicholas Dean lol I’m seeing ur comment six months later
@@gaara4667 I see your comment 6 days later
I love the nonchalant delivery of "There's a shit load of cargo space....I can fit my ... penis pump .. rogain..."
I kind of hope these guys never change their dialogue.
I know this video is 4 years old, however Savagegeese....thanks for making this. Watching your video a little over 100 times made me finally go out and get my dream car. I picked up a 2018 Dodge Charger Hellcat.
how is it so far
great review, however I feel everyone that reviews these hellcats are missing the segment totally. everyone wants to compare HC's to sportscars, or pony cars. and the reason for that is the price tag. but actually the Hellcat is a MUSCLE car. and there are no cars that compete in this segment anymore, ford doesn't make a muscle car. Chevy has the ZL1 to compete with the chally, but Chevy doesn't make a 4door muscle car. So reviewers have to take the charger out of it's segment and pull competition out of other segments and try and compare. but it's never apples to apples. and that is a HUGE PLUS for dodge. not a negative because it doesn't handle like a track car. or it's not as swanky as a highend 150k 4door lux sedan. Dodge is the only manufacturer that builds something outragesly Awesome for a middle class man. they should be praised for it!.
kyle stewart Chevy does have the SS, a 415hp sedan, but it can't compete with the hellcat.
Well that's a good start then for chevy. If they were smart they would resurrect the chevelle. And go after the charger HC. They have the motors, and platform.
Kyle, see my post above. I own a HC Charger A8, it's brutal and is like a fire breathing Dragon
Mustang is a muscle car still
kyle stewart you hit it right on the head
This entire review...what a story.
Outstanding quality. Much better than the constant moaning and groaning of the guys at Motor Trend. You are fair, but positive. I really like that about these reviews.
DaFroBroforeal aww man - you don't like Lieberman or Lago?
Vero Tabares, Lieberman is pure agony..Carlos Logo “was” great at MT. Only Lieberman, & Jason are overrated, pretentious hacks
Was that an, eco mode? Does it just laugh at you?
28:33 Diarrhea tips - my God, the subtle things are why I can never look away from your vids.
lol he was also searching for your moms number

If a car can makes you smile, is a good car ! !
But if a car can make anyone smile in 2 seconds, then it's an outstanding car.
Youre gonna be outrunning helicopters in this... Haha exactly what that kid in Houston did
Facts 😂😂😂
I know I’m a bit late, but I love the subtle humor you provide. The Diarrhea Tips that flashed on the radio display was very amusing
"It will transform you, I promise" truer words have never been spoken.
The suspension is "shocking"....Scott......killing us.....
And he wasn't a douchebag about it.
Haha, "It's like touching a woman for the fist time." Best line ever.
Legend has it... Savagegeese still hasn't touched one.
Your production quality is insane for one-person. I always enjoy these reviews, thanks for taking the time to make them.
First time viewer, here. I absolutely love your review style. You're almost telling a story. Instant sub. You're up there--in my UA-camr opinion--with the all time greats like Chris Harris. Brilliant vid. Everything from the production quality to the format is fantastic.
+wildcardNP Thank you, appreciate it as we keep up with all of them but dont copy anyone.
You are in the top 3 car reviews on YT, possibly number one. I love how thorough your videos are and the production value is tops!
This is the best car review video I've seen. I've had my eyeballs on one of these for forever, and your video has become my favorite. Thank you for all the work you put into this video.
Am I the only one who caught the part where he said 492 instead of 392? Lol. Really good video, though!
+David Delgado The last few videos have had some serious brain farts.
I have a 2015 challenger hellcat and just wanted to say I thought this was a great review. I am not an interior snob so it doesn't really bother me like it might some. The car can go across country in total comfort and then to the track and beat a lot of purpose built race cars. My personal best is 10.74, only mods are drive shaft and drag radials. One other thing that is great about that huge trunk.. It fits 2 drag radials and a jack. =)
10.anything is insane for a car like this. What was the mph for the 10.74 run?
Scott P 127 with a 1.6 60'. Computer said 2.99 sec to 60 on that run. I have a run on my channel from the same night that was 10.77. no one was taping my 10.74 run but have the slip
Amazing! That's how all cars should be.
Im gonna try and get one next summer except a challenger hellcat not really a fan of chargers i have nothing against them just like the body style of the challenger more
@@Scott-xh7wd You got that right!
The "Hellcat" name came from the WWII fighter plane that allowed the US to be formidable against the Japanese Zero.
No it came from Hello Kitty
Your reviews just keep getting better, this is def my fav. Keep on the good work. Best car reviews on the web!
I have to be honest and tell you this is a great review with very high production values. I would like to share one thing about the dash as an owner of a 2016 Dodge Charger Daytona which I have owned since new and did 140K+ miles on it. And that is.... No rattles, not one, not one squeak in the entire life I owned it. I live in city and drive 50 miles a day through potholes, traffic and terrible road conditions which would kill the experience on most cars in a few years. In all this time I had no noise at all in this car. Actually, with the exception of some minor issues the car has held up extremely well.
Post 1 year ago.
Car 2016 charger, owned since new.
Has 140,000miles on it.
So 140,000 miles in 2 years ? 😨🧐
I find most Chrysler homegrown products are durable and reliable, if it is
maintained very well.
Their Fiat based Chrysler products, are shit and it gives Chrysler a bad name.
I also had a 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan and it had over 140 000 miles but i sold it a month ago. Aside
from normal wear and tear and one starter, it was as reliable as the sun.
@@thomas0086 I can't stop driving mine either haha
Another Excellent review!
Best car review I ve seen in a while. Great editing, great shots, I love how you cover every aspect of the car in depth.
These reviews are so good. Funny, informative, and beautifully shot and edited. Keep up the good work.
From southeastern Wisconsin and I'm glad to see a reviewer in my general area. The thing I was most interested in was the footage of the surface rust developing under the car. You can see it on the suspension components. Gives me great insight for what to expect in the salt covered winters to come.
I agree this will be a classic.
fatboy19831 only problem is will it last for 50 years with all this computer technology and plastic? I doubt it!!! You'll be lucky to get 10 years out of it.
Brian Samuels There are a ton of 2005 Chargers on the road. This car is like a Toyota compared to the early Chargers.
I see lots of 2005 chargers on the road every day here but they are mostly crappy. My cousin grenaded his 2005 dodge magnum hemi with only 120,000 miles.
Brian Samuels When a manufacture says lifetime transmission fluid. What they mean is 10 years 100,000 miles. Everything after that is all cream. Do not fault a car for well........lasting 11 years 120,000 miles.
I'm not faulting the car but my muscle car is a 1968 Chevy Impala 496. It's has the original transmission from 1968. Never been rebuilt still shifting like new. Sad part about my cousins dodge magnum hemi is he only got 6 or 7 years out of it.
Your reviews are by far the most thorough on youtube. Ive spent a few hours a day just watching all of them because of the information and the humor thrown into it. Its sooo much better than the rest of the youtube reviewers that all same the same exact thing.
These are just such high quality car reviews. So articulate and no nonsense! Well done!
Thanks to you and your review, I bought a new 2018 Hellcat Charger.
I have a Pitch Black 2016 Charger Hellcat and it's an insanely crazy good time to drive.
Great review. So much information. Thanks and keep up the good work!
One of the best reviews I have seen in awhile.
Fantastic review, thank you.
No thank you.
I really like the interior lol. Lots of people seem to hate it but i think its pretty great.
Wow finally a review from someone who actually understands cars. I felt I really got a in depth understanding of everything I wanted to know about. Really appreciate your content
Absolutely stellar review. One of the best reviews of any car that I’ve seen on YT
Great review as usual and I chuckled at the comedic bits sprinkled here and there. I laughed out loud @28:29. Searching for your moms and Diarrhea tips song
Viper ACR, Z06, Hellcats, GT350R, Z28.. America is making the best cars in the world
I've always been more interested in German cars, but they're losing their appeal now due to the affordable power coming from America. If the GT350R had hydraulic power steering it would be unassailable.
Colds and electing the best present!
Colds
Once they put dual clutches/auto in all there sports cars it will be a new day
Young Den manual is almost always more fun than auto. im not lazy, i dont want a computer shifting for me. Leave the over complication for germany and japan
Colds
You don't get maximum performance from a manual trust me. I like manuals but when they are the only option it makes me think the car isn't as engineered as counterparts. Take a Viper ACR vs a 650s, R8 V10 and Porsche Turbo. ACR is great but could be better and all that aero isn't no where near a street car.
Your channel really caught my interest by how you actually dive into the mechanics, under, engine bay, etc! Keep up the good work man
This is probably one of the best and honest car review I've seen. Good job!
incredible how this car passes emissions, very good review!
oversized engines actually have much less harmful emissions than small ones, small turbo engines have the most harmful emissions
Mgoblagulkablong exactly
Too be fair its mpg is horrible, you do pay for that in gas guzzler taxes
@@Mgoblagulkablong that's bullshit but whatever
Eco mode - voila.
It's not extremely difficult to build an engine with insane power that still conforms to emissions standards. There's a standardized test. Driving like a maniac is not standard.
P.S.: I could imagine they gave them the black key for the emissions test. 😏
Electric cars will soon AFFORDABLY surpass the performance of this, but they will NEVER have the heart and soul of a gasoline powered vehicle.
Craig Williams Soul exists in the enthusiast's imagination.
That's deep, man...You could be right though..In my opinion, electric cars are cold and sterile--But I'm old
Thel sure pass in maybe 0-80 that's about it .. I can't see an electric car in the next 5 years beating this after 100 mph
I'm not saying they don't
Tesla, they build them now, and they can beat this car.
Dude this guy makes absolutely hands down the best reviews, awsome!
What a review! - Well done and thank you very much for the upload!
It's not fake carbon fiber. It's called engine turning. It's a custom panel engraving process that a lot of muscle cars and hot rods had back in the day. It has nothing whatsoever to do with simulating carbon fiber.
Are you talking about the trim at 29:58, or the stipes on the exterior?
and another fantastic review. best car review channel aside from saabkyle.
Thanks, saabkyle was one of the founders of indie car vids.
MEGA a e t e r n u s 永 saabkyle voice is so frigin annoying. he sounds like he got his nuts chopped off. and all he does is spit facts. he loves every car he gets into
Rayshidnwind adfefaf don't talk about gods perfect angel that way
Dude, fricken awesome review! the best review i have seen, you cover EVERYTHING.
Like always, awesome cinematography and an honest review. Making a 30 minute car review actually worth watching all the way through. I've been subscribed since 20k subscribers and the quality of your videos are better than most car review channels with 200k plus subscribers. You'll get to that number soon. Keep it up!
Thanks for that, and glad you enjoy the longer format glad you are hanging around.
I don't understand such harsh criticism of the interior - and this comes from someone who dreams of rolling naked in a Bentley Mulsanne. He calls it "fleet car" and bottom of the barrel, but you'd have to be positively spoiled to really think that's a fair assessment.
Red Bluesome there are 70,000 reasons why I agree with the harsh criticism of the interior. By no means am I spoiled either but the fact is that this car is too expensive to have such poor interior quality and it's really a shame. Your spoiled to think that the criticism is not appropriate to this car. Its like marrying a beautiful woman on the outside with a bad personality inside but you like the way she looks. Smh. The interior is trash point blank period and always has been. Its important because the interior is where you spend most of your time in. Lol.
Well, "fleet car" is hyperbole, but the interior is csrried from the Charger which is a INexpensive car.
I fucking love batshit crazy muscle cars, but still the fact remain that the interior is really not a 70k+ price tag car level, ofc ppl that get the Hellcat doesnt prioritze the interior.
Granted the interior should be better at that price point...but that's not the point. The other point is the interior isn't THAT bad, i've been in many many far worse hard plasticy interiors.
man I love that car...
Always the best reviews. Keep up the great work.
One of the best reviews I've watched to date... Good job.
Different half shaft diameter is to prevent axel hop, same as ZL1
Watching this video again. 19:22 One of my favorite lines ever in a car review ... "It's like touching a woman for the first time."
I have to say, you are the BEST at doing car reviews, the time you put into the little details, I have never that from a reviewer before, you made want to buy that vehicle, even though I don't have the equity to get it, man kudos to you and your team for putting a great piece of art, it's like I was watching an ARTIST going to work man...
The most beautiful review style Ive ever seen. Good job
This guy reminds me of Agent Colesan from the Avengers. Great review though.
You gotta just grab that car by the throttle.
Stephen E Hahaha
Can't believe I ran into this channel NOW!! Loving the videos!!
Great Review Guys! Looking forward to more videos.
Please get an Aspen hybird for review.
+Scott P There is a 6 year wait for that.
Plymouth Volare Premier Wagon Hellcat is what we need!
Hellcat 300 please
Only discovered this channel today. This is exactly the kind of reviews I need in my life.
Never Stop the 'Shop' part of the show! Its Awesome. No other reviewer does this.
Dodge is amazing with these hellcats and demon cars. Definitely the best shit out right now
They should revive the magnum, and make a srt hellcat option
Thijmen Kuik hell cat jeep grand cherokee would be the best option
MechHead Naga GMG Well the SRT is already a thing, but for some reason americans hate wagons
SRT HELL CAT JEEP. For those who want more than a n/a v8. The platform is there already just change the drivetrain.
A wagon would perfectly address the trunk issue and negate consideration of a SUV/cute ute, well, except for the "I need ride height because I'M THE LORD OF THE ROAD, EAT MY HORRIBLE CENTER OF GRAVITY, PEASANTS" mentality.
mexicanhalloween Trunk issue? the hellcat has a lot of trunk space.
Really enjoyed your review. Very detailed and straightforward no bullshit with minor comedy here and there. Watched it from start to finish and subscribed. Well done!!
jeez this is why I watch your videos savage , you tell your honest feeling about the car that your filming ...
Savagegeese, youre too funny 😂
2:50-3:10 Okay that is funny
I like the cockpit views (especially the mph display) on the track. Good job.
Well done, excellent review / show, enjoyed it every bit
At one point I thought Scott was gonna pull his pants down and get this charger pregnant 😬😬
He cant handle V8s he needs a nice 4 cylinder turbo around 1.2L.
savagegeese Maybe he would handle a 1.0L inline 3 EcoBoost engine better. He can perform an EcoSplat on it.
Some of you people are absolutely blasphemous with your ridiculous statements about this "muscle sedan". Of course the CHARGER is not going to be (button down) like a "SPORTS CAR", (something that it is not). The Dodge Charger mounts on a old chassis which means that the platform is "dated" in addition to the car being original as possible while persisting to it's identity unlike other cars. You people need to stop categorizing cars that has no real competition. This car stands by itself.
Another great video man keep em up
The best review of a Hellcat on UA-cam, by far. I rented a Charger R/T last weekend, and even that has frightening amounts of power available at any speed. I can't imagine upping the HP to 707.
4k videos are best videos.
+Christian Augustin Starting to migrate towards it.
gotta get some HDR gear too. To be honest, just keep making AWESOME videos...
I thought "Hellcat" was a reference to the F-6F Hellcat, a WWII Naval fighter?... The Ford Mustang is named after the North American P-51 Mustang. If it's not, then, it's not as cool as I thought.
WarHammer1911A1 it is, Chrysler made those engines for the plane model they just past it in to the vehicle
Cruise 96
There is such a thing but this was named after the Naval Jet. A magazine did a piece on it in 2015.
Michael Burkes - Well there was a question mark at the end of what he was saying.
Lord of the Jungle I should add the F6F was not a jet. It was a radial piston powered ww2 fighter. It was the fear of Japanese pilots back then.
Love the way your videos begin 👌🏾
Loved this review
let me guess
Turbowski doesn't like it
Ha, not this time, he was all up in it.
He seemingly only has an irrational hatred of everything with a blue oval on it, no matter how good it is. Coming from New Zealand I often encounter this kind of "motoring enthusiast" in the form of the Holden Fanboy - known by its scientific name as "Boganum idiotus."
@Oggy LMAO, yes I've had a G6E-T for 7 years now. 185,000km on the clock and the only thing I've ever had to fix on it other than usual wear items was a broken power steering pump pressure sender for all of $40. Ford would have lost the taxi & police car market in ANZ if they had made a bad Falcon. Like any manufacturer, Ford make some duds and some great cars - just writing them off as a brand entirely because you like the competition and therefore they are your tribal enemy is the height of idiocy.
it doesn't look like a sleeper to me
To most people it just looks like a dodge charger.
great vid man most in depth review on the web
How does it stand up to the chivy SS
KingThallion it beats the crap out of the ss in everything.
Yea it looks a lot better than the SS, it was a trolly comment.
KingThallion lol ok cool.
TheDustyaman No it Don't The hellcat Is Fuckin Heavy Is shit 4500 Bounds whaaat The ss Will Wreck That Shit
TheDustyaman Chevy SS FTW
the cooling system of the supercharger is way better than what chevy did in their LT4 engines in the Z06 cooker !
in other words: put that engine in a chevy Z06 and you get a real winner; but perhaps it dont fir in the engine bay.
But i think a 466hp C7 Z51 is faster on track ;-)
The frontal is area the main issue with the Z06. ZL1 and CTS-V want have that same issue due to larger area up front. Exhaust on Z06 is very close to oiling system also. These larger cars don't have these same issues.
GM has claimed a fix is coming on Z06. They did release a aux cooling last yr at Sema. Maybe it will be available on the updated Z06.
Jeff Will
it´s not only the cooling it´s also the low engine bay. In the new ZL1 they used a bigger (higher) intercooler under the compressor. In ZO6´s the inlet air get hot and you loose a lot of power !
Little late, but damn all your reviews are just top notch. Really love how you give it like it is instead of giving even good cars passes in other aspects. Great content!
This really is the last breath of good ol' American huge sedans. I'm definitely gonna miss these being around. Fantastic review. Glad to see turbowsky happy about a car for once.
Alberto Lemus Model S. :)
I love how he blurs the speed. Like... Just going 25 in fourth gear. No speeding here.
Can you review a Tesla? model s or x.
Will try for sure.
Thumbs up SAVAGEGEESE :)
Must say, I am your viewer for a long time and I realy do enjoy your videos, keep it up !
Hope to see civic type-r soon.
Glad you are still around, I hope to get the TypeR when it launches.
This might be one of the best reviews of this car I've seen to date. The garage scene had me worried, that was getting out of hand. Over all lots of great info, very well done review.
