2019 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye Widebody Review - How is This Street Legal?

I'm Jacob, we're going to hell zone 20:19 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Red Eye with launch control The launch odyssey is disappointing because

this

has no steering There is so much power What is the power and torque? 797 horsepower 707 pound-feet of torque from a 6.2-liter supercharged v8 that's 90 horsepower more than the original 707 Hellcat, yes, and just under 11 damn horsepower, so

this

is just Available with automatic transmission, yeah, I don't think you can do that. It shifts fast enough, otherwise if you took your hands off the wheel you'd probably die, but we drove the original

widebody

Hellcat with the manual transmission and it was awesome.

I loved. Yes too. It made a lot of sense. Actually it was. One of the most perfect muscle cars, but I think this one could be better, so it's more track focused than the original Hellcat or the demon, so we should probably try it on the cliché corner now that the rules are the way we made them. . I have to sweep the cliché curve if it's over 700 horsepower and if it's rear wheel drive so I had to sweep the cliché curve and now I'm ready for a Centon or are you ready Yuri? This is a sport mode because the track traction is crazy here. we use too much power for highways, there is no reason this should be

legal

, like they do it manually.

I think you would keep people under control, but in automatic mode. You have so much speed at your fingertips that I really feel like I'm going to go to jail at any moment, possibly during this

review

and full disclaimer. I never put this in traction at the track and I never turned it off because I'm not here to prove any point about what the hell I can do with this car. I can't afford to rule it out. It's like that. McLaren and the 911 gt2 RS are the cars we will put into traction. Yeah, it's just not worth it for us.

I'd love to, but I can't afford to write this off on a track, maybe this thing still burns through and does donuts with normal traction, so let's talk about that power, which is the most obvious thing to talk about supercharger complaining about for days, yes, the supercharger. This is pretty much the most amazing thing ever, so it's actually bigger than the regular Hellcat, so it's a 2.7 liter supercharger practically straight out of the devil. There are a lot of demon parts in this and the exhaust sounds super crazy. We have it active. exhaust obviously sounds unreal so loud it sounds demonic basically took this through a tunnel almost went deaf with the windows closed loved every second so you're in manual mode right yeah how's the shift, the shift is super fast?

It's a ZF 8-speed automatic, do you know when to send absolutely never? I basically shift by sound almost every time you step on the accelerator about two seconds after that you have to shift. I noticed the change light on my peripherals. I think it's very good. red right in the middle, but you can set your own change points. Yeah, I set them to 5500 just to see if it would help and it really doesn't for me at 5500. I haven't missed any shifts, but I might go a little early and there isn't much room to do a lot of shifts either.

No, it is not within the limits of the law. Check out our

review

of the police car I have before we continue. We know that many of you are not subscribed to see it. just hit the subscribe button and hit the notification bell too and hit the pedal, so if I'm in second gear, no matter what rpm I have, this thing is just going to light up the tires and spin them in second gear, third gear almost sometimes. so let's address the tire situation right now, we are in all seasons, not high performance summers, that's right, and the 305's are fat tires and what is the tire recommended by Continental, extreme contact sport, so the most important thing that I find while I'm driving this because I always want to step, is basically how big your balls are in how long you stay in it, like how much ticket you want for me.

I found out it's how big your balls are, stepping on it at the beginning and staying on it or eating a corner, yeah, well, that first instant it's like okay, the car is moving. Do I stay in and keep pointing forward or do I just back away because I'm a bit of a coward? Yes, never go back as long as you stay in it. you usually end up pretty good it's when you back off it's when you're in trouble when you're on your side when in doubt calm down the gray oh my god we don't recommend it so let's get back to those demonic parts and stuff like that I did mention that this one had 11 more power left than to the demon that uses gas because the demon has 840 horsepower on race fuel so if you use it on regular

street

fuel almost the same horsepower as this one and part of the reason is that it has less horsepower than the demon It's the intake the devil has this one long across the hood this one has a little bit smaller one so it's actually taking in less air so it has less horsepower almost that's why it has two holes in the hood like a battering ram, but if you look under the hood there's only one exit, yeah the other one looks like it could be connected, we're not sure we need to borrow the truth snake from Matt Watson's toilet drain, let's see if it comes until the end.

The toilet train talks and then there's also the lighthouse hole that the demon also has and what else did this get from the demon? It has two fuel pumps, this thing just destroys the fuel and then it also has upgraded driveshafts, axle shafts, more cooling and it also has the SRT motorized tiller that takes the conditioned air and sends it to the supercharger, cools the air so it boils here But the engines are cooled so you can get maximum performance for longer. I appreciate that I put this in track mode. The first time I'm fine, I'm in track mode.

This is amazing, why am I so hot? I thought the air conditioning was broken and then I put it on sport mode and everything was fine, that's pretty funny, I like that though. It's hilarious and also has a ton of cool tricks up its sleeve which we'll get to later, but first, today's sponsor DS polo shoes. We have been wearing these shoes for about a year and have loved every pair we have owned. I have had what you are wearing today. I'm wearing the Endurance, which is their newest shoe. I'm wearing my white Pistone iax and ballistic for a casual look.

I have also been using my Campione at events when we go to events and You have to dress really well if you want to be really stylish and match your car you can go to the office in plum yes this car paint is called mad plum so check out the rest of the Pilate shoes at Pelosi or polo decom use our coupon code for spss 15 for 15% off until the end of June 30 so now the look just before the look there's some cool performance stuff that really I like them about this, okay, even more, yes there is a lot more, it has this thing called an aftercooler, so when you close the car, it will take the air conditioning and turn it on continuously when the car is off to cool it down even more fast, that's why it makes so much noise when you park it, so now I'm going to make one last submission to the looks.

I love this thing so much, okay so it's purple, yeah, Plum Crazy, it's a traditional Mopar color and it works really well on this thing, yeah, when this thing blows up, it blows up so hard. I think the Challenger has such a good body line that they have been racing. This for about ten years, almost yes, and because of the wide body package that we have, it is currently updated, yes, it doesn't look dated, so you can get this in wide body and no pipe if you get it in non-wide mode. body in a red cat eye you're on a cycle because the tires are going to be thinner exactly do what you want yeah do what you want but definitely get a lot of money so what else is different from the cat hella original?

I drove, it has a different hood, which is a throwback to the old Mopar stuff. I like that it's black. I like it too, but I think it's a little expensive. It costs $1,500 for being black. Oh, your hood is no problem with that, so the headlights are the same. Like the original Hellcat we drove, yes, they're pretty much all the same, but we have a different spoiler on the back of this one. Yes, this is an optional spoiler and it looks great and there is no Hellcat badge on the rear. This one from the back looks like a 1979 Trans Am or something, it looks amazing, it's like a lowered bandit, yeah, and the stance of this thing from the side, it's just leaning, it's so aggressive it's perfect, do you like it better? what does this look like? than the skinny tires of a demon yeah absolutely oh yeah I think I agree but the demon is also super cool because the demon badge is a demon type but this is a Hellcat badge but slightly different right? because it's different?

It has a small red eye. oh look they put a red eye on a red eye. I think that's the only reference to the model name in all of this and it's cool, yeah, because technically it's an optional package on top of the Hellcat, it's not its own. model, but there are like a million different

challenger

s you can get there. There are at least seven, so are you claiming this is the best? Well, I haven't driven to hell because you can't get it anymore, but like this Far from what you can get I think this is my favorite.

I love that manual, but this one is just psychotic. It has no usable energy. You can't use it on the

street

s. This is the perfect car. I love it. Everything about him is crazy. none of this should exist. I love everything and you know what they did in the factory. They accidentally removed those cool yellow bumpers on the bottom. It's not by accident that you're supposed to remove them. And what about the wheels and Brembos? The wheels look so sick, they are the devil's edge, they are so deep, yes I love them and then we also have Brembos behind them.

You can get bronze black and I think orange only for free, which are strange colors, but I understand before I leave you. Driving, let's talk about some handling, so obviously there is some body roll. This is still a Challenger, but it has adaptive suspension, so if you put it in track mode and then adjust the traction control again, it's actually quite stiff, but it's still very comfortable. If you put it on the softest mode it's great to cruise, it's the perfect muscle car, it's obviously got a lot of weight, but this is the most track oriented one and I'd love to try not to kill myself on a race track with this one.

I think it would be a lot of fun, well, the last time we went to the track with the Veloster and we were chasing a Hellcat, he beat us on the straights, although we had him on all the curbs the whole time, it wasn't a wide one. red eyes on the body, although yes, but still, yes, I know, I know he has the angry cat and we are getting it, maybe we are just very good drivers, so maybe we were pretty fast, but hearing that thing is the Best sound of any car. Think and now I think you should experience that from the drivers.

I'm going to start with a launch control in G, my guest, it's just those burnouts, but it's controllable as long as you have some skills when it comes to real draft cars. It'll probably be fine unless you're too bold, yeah, so basically you have to know what you're doing. You have to have driven some pretty fast cars to know what you're doing in this because this will affect you all the time. Do you think our parents could drive this car effectively? I don't believe it. I'm sorry dad. I'm giving you the black key. Yes. If they had the black key.

I think they would be fine. I also believe it. because it starts in Auto in eco mode and eco mode has only 596 horsepower or something like that 500 is ok yes but it's much more controllable it feels like a completely different car to be honest I didn't drive this in five with our horsepower or not. Even once and in a cliché corner I feel like I'm more on the brakes than the throttle and sideways, so controllable, although okay this or the competition m2 is not manual. I would take it for sure, yes, there is no doubt, but they both feel it. very similar, yes, but this is just psychotic, but don't they feel similar in your ability to control?

Yeah yeah, so if you've driven an m2 comp it's not the same, just a little bigger, yeah a little toy power sounds a lot better, yeah it looks a lot. better too and that little drift and drift sport traction, yeah I don't want to go any but I say it but I feel like we would have to take a completely different approach to driving this than with front wheel drive. hot hatches yeah this would be like a racing simulator where you have to wait to apply the throttle before you wear out oh yeah yeah when you try it you're like I could drive this Corvette with everything off yeah no this they can't be done traps in this system. so I'm going to rattle off a few things that are the same as all the other Chryslers, we have half paddles just on the top, whichwhich bothers me a lot, especially after driving all those cool Italian cars that are owned by FCA.

Yes, exactly Alfa Romeo Maserati for a car that goes mostly in a straight line, now it's just a column mounted paddle and has so much power that you just want bigger paddles, yes, but then we have our volume control buttons on the steering , which I love. We have our complaining satellite radio Apple Carplay Android Auto gauges that show every number, like I said before the shift light flash is very easy to see if you train your eyes to look for it and those gauge numbers go up so fast on this it's basically a blur, oh sure, but it's cool that it's an analog tack.

Remember on the Hawk track we hated it because it was digital and we didn't know when to change. The problem is solved and then we have the performance pages where we have our line blocking and we have all our other cool things, okay, let me get into that quickly so we have our career options, so when you click on that you have your launch control so I set this to a couple of different rpms the first one was max all I did was burn like I was standing up it was a max of 3000rpm so I had to dial it back.

I tried 2500, no, I still got burned, so I tried 1,900, no, I still got burned. 1700 rpm does not burn and To be honest, it is a very light launch. I like my question. We link more higher pitches. Yeah, well this would work if you keep going up it and then we have our dash cooldown in there as well. Yes, is cool. You just click on it and it tells you exactly what to do, oh, great, very good. Oh, like the cooldown is on and it shows you your target temperature, the ambient temperature and where you need to go down, that's cool, sorry, that's what more cars should have, yeah. and then you'll have like your timers from zero to sixty, you're a brake that stops, that has three wins on the reel brakes ready, yeah, two, one, oh that's good, now it's really good for this side, the seatbelts get a little tight on this one and like almost everything else buy FCA the shifter is down for up and down the right way thank you very much and it shifts quickly if you use that or the paddles like most of FCA products, I'm pretty sure the visor test goes well. to pass with flying colors three two one yes, I only have the extension, it is a very small extension but it works.

The small full mouth cup barely fits, but it's a pass and like all the other

challenger

s we have that cool brushed steel. or polished steel interior, exactly what is really nice, still, soft touch everywhere, the seats are super comfortable, they have a nice little SRT badge with a red eye over here, but no red eyes on the seams. Do you see one? You know I didn't see it either. I'm going to have to add that with some little kids, like jeweled kids, a little bit sharp, no, no, you need like the jewelry for the moment, yeah, so bring some arts and crafts in here and then some weird stuff.

I noticed the fog that may have been applied to the other challengers, if you fold the rear seats down to your height you have practically no room to fold the rear seats, yes I couldn't sit comfortably in the driver's seat because the headrest goes back, but if we get in the trunk, we have a lot of room, yes, it's actually a pretty big truck, this is a powerful car, this is the only powerful car left, the Mustang is a sports car, the Camaro is a sports car, This is what you need at full speed. to mentally prepare yourself to go full throttle, I realize I don't go full throttle as much, but when you don't go full throttle, if you're at the right rpm, there's a bunch of superchargers whining like that's exactly what it was while I was driving this? at the speed limit, would make people wrap their wives, husbands pick up their dogs off the ground, like taking their strollers off the sidewalk.

People are afraid of this. Everyone sees it. I get dirty looks, but I also get a lot of thumbs up. I really like it. I'm so happy this car actually exists. There is no reason for it to exist. Yes, it's pretty perfect. It's crazy. It's too fast for its own good, but it's still very controllable. Gets terrible gas mileage. It doesn't matter, although none of these things really matter. I think it's the wail of the supercharger that sets it apart from everything else because no other supercharged car really sounds like that, no, and the exhaust is very violent too.

I love everything about this one, that's right. Is there any car you would take control of this right now, would you take the hell over this if you had the choice? Well, I've never driven a demon, yeah, but from what you think, I'd have to say yes, just because of how limited the demon is. and I would just keep the tires fatter so yeah okay but that's like I haven't driven a hell and it's a lot more limited but this is pretty much like you're getting it what do you want to drive this on a clue?

I absolutely can't wait, I hope I can one day. Do you think it would be faster than your speed? Finish that car. You are good. I don't believe it. It's what a waste hauler would be and much more fun for it. I'd love to see the difference between driving a fast Muscle Car and driving a fast Hot Hatch, yeah, then we'd have to go off the track like three times to get gas and stuff, oh my god, even think about that, yeah, so this doesn't really work. I have no competition, it's nothing direct like the m5, in the lake, horsepower and speed and all that, but that's a luxury four-door and this is a two-door muscle car, yeah, so , if we prove it. that or the AMG GT R, this is a strange car, but I think it's the better car, then there's also the Camaro zl1 and the upcoming Mustang gt500, maybe no one has known those numbers yet because they haven't released them at the time of this video.

At the end of the day, this is the best car, this is the best muscle car, this is one of my favorite cars and I would love to have one. This is probably the coolest experience, yeah it's crazy. I hope this translates into video. how crazy this is and how much we love it because it's so special it's the scariest thing I've ever been in my life but let's talk about the price yeah it's actually pretty reasonable $94,000 195 for the asking price of the red eye this one is sitting. at 117 thousand two hundred and twenty Canadian dollars and that's an incredible value for horsepower, so it's about the same price as the Alfa Romeo vo Quadrifoglio style that we drove, yes, and probably around the Giulia, this one or one of those , No doubt.

Honestly, I would be hesitant if someone handed me the keys to a McLaren and this would be hesitant, you'd have to think a little bit about taking the McLaren, but you'd have to think a little bit about it. I would have to think about it a lot, if you have to pay maintenance, you would end up with this one. Hey, maybe if the doors opened on this one, no, no, don't do that, so let us know if you think there's a crazier car, this is the end of the line for crazy gas cars, let us know what think, don't forget to subscribe, hit the notification valve, check out patreon.com/lenguin.

I'm Jacob, let's go for a walk, no. don't forget write, subscribe right now, subscribe, we didn't even do it, we have driven MacLaren, we have driven the gt2 RS, I was not afraid in those cars, now the Aventador, the Huracán, I am afraid of them, but I guess we don't win as many things with that, not even with normal traction or track traction, it was still okay, yeah, this is scary, it's scary, I love it.
