What is it like to drive the all new 2019 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye around a road course? That's what we tried to find out in our latest video. We got the opportunity to go to Club Motorsports in New Hampshire to try out the latest Hellcat Redeye Widebody and the R/T Scat Pack Widebody. This beautiful 2.5 mile long track offered the perfect location to see what these new ultra powerful muscle cars are truly like to drive fast.

This is what a true muscle car is.
Dodge has the best modern muscle cars,and their good looking too
MOPAR IS THE KING, as they were 50 yrs ago
This is probably the best review I've seen on this BEAUTIFUL piece of machinery...
Great job! 👍
Thanks for the compliment! I hope you got a chance to check out our review of the widebody scat pack version on our channel!

I work at Brampton Assembly. There is a 50% chance I installed the radiators on all your testing cars. I LOVE hearing the positive feedback for the cars my brother and sister workers are so proud of building! Just think... we have lucky workers who are paid to drive these bad-boys off the final line everyday.
Thank you for the top notch work! These cars performed awesomely at the track. And if it’s anything like the Demon, it’s going to survive a pretty tough beating!
-Hansen
@@ShiftingLanes When all the boys were having lunch the day we all heard about the world record on the production wheelie... well, lol. You should have seen the smiles ear to ear. I consider blessed to watch these pass me 500 times a shift
@@robertarnold6076 what's the position and salary?
@@c.albrow9161 We're all classed as production workers. Our current rate is $35/hr. Our wages count for less than 10% of the final cost on our cars overall
@@robertarnold6076 wow..... after college I'm sure you'll see me in your plant soon.
The power is great, but I'll always love how the challenger looks. It's a voluptuous woman, not dainty, all the right curves, modern but classic aesthetic.
Dark green with carbon stripes looks mean, black is sooo boring.
Great video!
Great Review! Thanks for putting this together.
Very cool video.. one of the best in this car. I enjoyed your commentary within the entire video. Thx
Great job with this video. Good information properly and professionally presented. Thank you!
Thank you sir for a great review. You did not show your face for a 15 minute narcissistic selfie review like most reviewers- you showed the car and the car performing - that’s why we click- subscribed and thanks again- keep up the good work - showing the star of the show- the car
I'm 55 years old and am smart enough to realize that my SRT392 is all the power I need. I don't have to push it as hard as my old RT 5.7, but I can push it a lot harder. I know I'm too damn old and with not a lot of sport driving, so there is no need to add 200hp for me. I understand exactly what he is saying about feeling more comfortable in the lower power car. These are some damn fine vehicles and deserve to be driven regularly and taken to stretch out on a track, either road or drag, every once in a while.
Thank you for watching! Driving a slower car fast is more fun than driving a fast car slow!
-Hansen
I’m 26 and I agree. Hellcats are more for the drag strip, or mile run. The 392s are easier to throw around a track without worrying if you’re going to spin out because of too much power.
Isn't it amazing that we get 15-18 in town and 24 on the road? With 500hp. I love this car.
It’s nice but from experience and owning a high horsepower 69 muscle car- that is hard to drive in the turns- having all those horses mean EVERYTHING in a 1/4 mile- also knowing you have one of the kings of the jungle at your command is priceless.
You can never have too much horsepower!!
Excellent review, great job explaining the srt hierarchy.
LITTLE?!... Some poo too
-Hansen
TOO BAD CALI NEW EXHAUST LAW MAKES CALIFORNIA THE STUPIDEST PLACE TO LIVE WITH A V8 or FART CAN OR A RICER INSPIRED EXHAUST SYSTEM!!! At least you have TESLA there 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Great review! Looks like you guys had a blast driving all that Mopar round that beautiful track. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
-Hansen
Dope, I love the hellcat redeye and the hellcat but the Scatpack is where it's at for me. I love my 2017 Scatpack.
I'm making room in the garage for this monster.
MOPAR=MASSIVELY OVER POWERED AND RESPECTED!!
Love that
Overpowered * so no
Great review 👍🏾
To all the haters ! It's simple if you don't like Dodge then don't watch the videos. Nobody needs to hear the chidish comments . If you watched it then you must have been interested !
I’m a mustang lover, and my dream car is to have a 2014 gt500 Shelby mustang but these new redeyes are my second option. Beautiful challenger, damn mopar or no car 💨
Great review! I may not have a redeye, however I can relate to what you said about forgetting about the scat pack when driving on the road in a hellcat. It's a night and day difference. I owned a 17 charger Daytona 392 then traded up for an 18 hellcat charger. You just can't get enough of that supercharger whine!
too much fun...great job guys!
I own a Hellcat, 3 Demons, aRoush Stage 3 Mustang and a ZL1. Hands down the Dodges are the best.
Mustang has no back seat or trunk and the ride is horrible, same goes for the ZL1..
the very slight advantage they have on a road course is more than given back up on the straightaways.
I use a Hellcat for a daily driver and have driven it cross county...
It is comfortable, has a back seat and huge trunk...
all the creature comforts, handles great in sport or track mode, and can outrun just about anything you’d like...
And oh yeah, i get 22 mpg on the highway IF I can keep my right foot in check....
Message me if you are interested in buying the Roush or ZL1.... :)
Dollar for dollar, NOTHING IS CLOSE....
In MHO ......
Most haters cannot afford any of then in reality, so post negative while they dream of owning one.
Fantastic video!
Damn!! That was an excellent and fun video!!
Thank you! We really enjoyed filming that if you couldn't tell haha. You should go check out our other reviews on our channel
-Hansen
Well done! Great thorough review. Nice work Hansen!
Awesome video! I want one!
Nice video. Thanks.
This car has approved itself since the first production in the beginning of seventies with the hard work of Dodge Team. It’s the dream car and I really love it and the Dodge company.
Wish you the best.

Nice review, very professional and more importantly very entertaining.
Thanks for the nice words! I hope you’ll get a chance to check out our other reviews on this channel!
-Hansen
ShiftingLanes I will!
Pretty damn good review!
Great Challenger model review and critic.............well said and edited! Glad you emphasized that even tons of HP doesn't make a great track car.......better left for the drag strip , bench racing and bragging rights.
Drag racing is way better anyhow.
From the 60s to now...... Mopar has been about one thing and have mostly ruled
Factory stock and strip.
Drag racing.
Sure AAR CUDA AND T/A CHALLENGER 1 YR BUT....
NOT THE TIME OR MONEY PUT INTO IT.
OFCOURSE.THE 340 6 PACK SCORED WHERE MOPARS SCORE, THE STREET AND STRIP
Great video and review. I was there last week and I posted a short review of it.
I’ve never been a Dodge fan but dam if this car doesn’t change my mind. The Cat is wicked. One sharp ass ride. 👍🏼
Absolute beast!! I am a mustang guy but man you must respect this thing! I can make my car 800hp, to get it from the factory just makes dodge the king at this time. Hopefully GM and Ford can get off there fucking hands and compete. That is what makes the competition try harder! Great review!
woodyfive0 gt500
I am curious to see what the numbers are on the new one, better be 800+. It'll need it to compete
@@anthonymolina7416 eh idk if thats gonna top the bhp that the hellcat redeye has it might come close but i don't see ford making a mustang that powerful out of the factory
Kale Wilson but it’s going to be lighter so power to weight ratio is key
Great video.
Very informative video! My views on Dodge are on the positive side!
Good honest review. Much appreciated.
LEAD, FOLLOW, OR GET OUTTA THE HELLCAT'S WAY!! MOPAR... MOVE OVER, PERFECTION APPROACHING RAPIDLY!!☄🔥
Damn that thing is a beast! What other car can go over 200 mph for under $70,000? Great car and good job Dodge, I just wished I could afford one!
I work at the plant building these everyday, how do you think I feel watching thousands of them roll past me that I won't get to drive! lol
A roush mustang jackhammer
Hmm a roush fustang is $70,000? Still ugly tho so I'll stick with the Chellenger!
You sound real intelligent
Well maybe so if I don't want to drive a moded Fusion with a horse on it! Plus pay that much for a more moded Fusion with a horse on it! Just because Ford builds a Fusion looking car and calls it a Mustang doesn't mean I've got to like it or buy the ugly thing just because they call it a Mustang, to me that's stupid!!
love the green, drool.
Demons being resold at 6 figures? Damn car flippers
What a dope video. What were your track time?
Challenger rt 6 spd. Wheels spacers. Rolls bars, stiffer springs/shocks or whatever it has and you would have yourself a fun track car👌🏼💯
Getting me a Hellcat Tuesday 👊🏾
Niiiiiccceee. Have fun with it man!
-Hansen
Best of luck with kitty.
You will have nothing but a blast!!!! LITERALLY amd physically
Does the 2019 hellcat have the adaptive cruise control that the 2018 version was missing?
This reminded me of the review of Z06 vs Grand sport. The guy had more fun in a GS through the corners than the Z06.
You still have the availability of the black key in the Red Eye that will have you running similar power and setup to the Scat Pac.
Excellent review of the Redeye! You made up my mind and I thank you. Keep up the great work. You have a new subscriber 👍🏼
Thank you for watching!!
-Hansen
Excuse my french, but this was a fuckin awesome video. Im from Northern Maine and I love my mopar. Amazing attention to detail here, loved every second of this video. You got my respect dude!
Thank you so much for watching! Hope you’re subbed!
-Hansen
ShiftingLanes Obviously my man!
Take preworkout, drive in track mode to gym, activate beast mode, best day ever
I have family up in southern Maine near Portland! Welcome dude 🙂
-Gregson
Dodge is kicking Ass & taking names!
EXCELLENT VIDEO! Someday........
Holly shit that's almost as fast as my Ninja ZX14 at 9.8 stock but it's turbocharged so it does 8.8 and I weigh 270 lbs. Money to be made summer of 2019. Beautiful car!
Very informative video! Thanks for the info! This makes for a puzzling question? HELLCAT REDEYE? Or...
The ZR1 VETTE? 65 grand is a huge difference! Well, we ARE in the midst of the MUSCLE CAR REVOLUTION!
That really depends on your style. Both are going to be scary on the track but the ZR1 is obviously going to be a much better platform for that. As for street cruising, you can't beat the Hellcat or the Hellcat Redeye
-Hansen
Around the track with the Scat Pack widebody, is it better that the narrow body Scat Pack with the dynamics package?
I need a redeye!!!!
The problem with the Demon and its msrp was that not one dealership sold it for that. They were going for well over $130k here. Looking online, it was the same for those listings as well. I'll keep my supercharged '16 SRT 392.
Nicely done.
I have a 2018 Hellcat widebody. All these car today are nut sack crazy with lots of hp. We’re all going to lose our licenses. Better order that scooter. I had a 2013 Boss 302 but got tired of that small car and it shifted like garbage unfortunately. Love the look of the cat and it drives nice. Great cruiser.
nice. i have a pure orange 2009 rt. fully loaded. i'll save my money! 49k. i'll keep it .
We need some in Australia, oi oi oi
Everyone remember that old 2018 challenger concept? The white one that I like to call the "Naga" due to it's slicked aggressive redesign? If they can find a way to make the Challenger lighter and better handling while maintaining its true muscle car look, as well as it's comfort, I honestly believe it would outsell the Camaro and Stang by miles.
Couple ideas? Aluminum or other lightweight engine material. DOHC(for more power and fuel efficiency). Transaxle(rear mount transmission. for better weight distribution). More aluminum. Maybe some kev/FG/Carbon body panels or something. Big single twin scroll variable geometry turbo with 180 degree 8-2 or 8-1 headers for the next gen demon. Oh, and it's gotta have anti-lag. And a screamer pipe. Preferably out the hood or dumped just behind the front wheels open-header style.
This car needs the same looks and power but a brand new updated chassis. It's just completely outdated.
Imagine this beast 500lbs lighter??!!
If you’ve ever worked on these cars you’d soon realize one thing odd. The Challenger, 300, and Charger are all on the same chassis, and have been for many years. I totally agree.
Dont remove weight.. Weight is good when you have a lot of power, expecially in curves since the weight will press the car down on the road which gives better handling.
@@KristalBlut Lmao,👍
@@KristalBlut I can't tell if you sre trolling or seriously dumb.
19 5oh coming!!! So they can loose control and fishtail like mustangs 😂
Awesome 😃 👍
I wanna go
When can I get it?
The most exciting thing for me is that the Hellcat starting price has dropped. My plans to own a Hellcat have now gained more legitimacy :)
Muscle for ALL! Seriously... that whine... it’s something else
-Hansen
Facts
The only thing brakes are for on a road course are pitting. Competent drivers know to use the transmission for braking in conjunction with the foot brake.
I love driving my HC, mustangs and Camaros come up behind me and don't even try to pull up beside.
what about the z06? or the zl1 1le?
@@vinniecatullo6037
Nope zr1 maybe at 130,000
Of course the demon takes care of that
And if you say 720s?
Demonology took his Demon and beat it twice.
Then to prove it was not only his Demon? He took another Demon and beat it 3 more times
@@soxfunny98 ok if you can spend 85.000 on a car then you should have any problems on a 130.000 i think you can get it for 120.000
@@vinniecatullo6037 ummm thats 45,000 more!!
You. An buy another Challenger ( scat) with that
I don't think a Demon ever hit 9.60s in the hands of the public...FACTORY STOCK; with aftermarket mods....yes.
Track?
Why couldn't you have used the 500hp black key for less hp on the road course?
I do
Whoa
Nice review 👍🏻 I'm going to order a 2019 Hellcat Widebody 717 hp like your video seems to stress, I felt I really didn't need the extra power of the Redeye. The base Hellcat at 717 hp is still a lot of hp .
I'm stuck on what color to get . I currently have a red Corvette Z06 so red is out . Since you were around all of the new Challengers. What color did you think looked the best ? Thanks
Good choice! Wide body is a worthy upgrade. There’s 14 colors to choose from. F8 Green is new and looks very unique but I don’t think it’s for everyone. My pick would be Destroyer Grey. White Knuckle is a second choice. Thank you for watching!
-Hansen
If you don't mind me putting in my 2 cents, I own a 2016 hellcat it's plum crazy purple with black wheels, sun roof and the black satin hood that I'm so happy I got after days of going back and forth about getting . I also suggest looking into c quartz coating it makes the car sparkle besides protecting. Look at different combinations with stripes, black satin hood, rims, and plum crazy purple. I'm very happy with the car and the color plum crazy purple you either love the color or hate it.
@@peterszl Same i just picked up a 2016 plum crazy purple hellcat challenger fully loaded 2k its my dream car and love everything about it got it for a steal and i can always add my own 305s for better traction.
Maximum steel is new for 2019 but is coming out in a couple months i “heard” its like a silver chrome
Destroyer grey, f8 green is bad ass, look.before you go with anything else.
I know you said no red BUT u may want to see Octane Red.
Purplish ( dark) Red( dark) combined. My god its beautiful
Subscription DEFINITE
Imagine at AWD Demon, insane
Right?!
If the Demon was like 300 pounds lighter it would be a 9 second car easy.
AWD demon widebody charger
they're not smart enough to add AWD
@@fallback8314 they've done more than ford or chevy (granted it's only a pentastar V6... But camaro's and mustangs both come with 6 cylinders).
Has anyone ever provide a full video review of the functionalities of the JEEP SRT. For example, audio, navigation, engine, steering (driving in straight-line), body inspection, memory settings, wipers, and etc. I have completed some research, and I have never seen so many SRT for resale (Whether JEEP or Dodge). I did made some phone calls to sellers, and did get some feedbacks regarding functionality issues. Let me know what you think. From what I understand, these are all BAILOUT vehicles. Safety is a concern.The reason why the demon is on ebay, is because it's garbage.
9:17- 9:32 so..... basically the classic muscle car.
So the hellcat charger does 220 mph?
Nope. 204
When you dont know how to use a vehicle's power properly, of course the lesser power of vehicles will be more fun for you. A good review but not a professional opinionated review. Once you drive the track more and more you become more confident and comfortable. Practice makes perfect. Get some seat time and review the red eye again.
Uhh... no SRT392??
My Dream Car!!!!! Beautiful!!!!!
#BeardedApe
6k for fenders and tires well worth it?? Not sure about that.
And the full suspension rework underneath it all ... it's not just cosmetics.
Oh, it is.
Chryco still hasn't figured out taking weight out of these cars will make these cars a lot nicer to live with. It's unacceptable that in this day and age with CAD/CAM design that these cars are not at least 1000 lbs lighter.
500 tops while remaining as comfortable and premium as they are. But yeah. Reason being is that Charger, 300, Magnum, and Chally are all on the same-ish platform/chassis. Which was made back in 03-ish. Particularly for the former(read: larger) 3 of those cars.
Chally gets its own chassis? More aluminum? Maybe some carbon/FG/or Kevlar stuff? Rear mounted trans(transaxle)? DOHC aluminum engine? Chally rapes. Based on looks and comfort alone, already; Chally rapes. But it wouldn't be to hard to have the next gen Chally on par with the other two on track and still dragging their asses on the strip.
I want a turbo Chally with anti-lag and screamer pipes for the next-gen drag-strip model. 500 pounds lighter while retaining comfort and space. 925HP stock.
Wrong.
The weight was left on purpose.
Thats why all the power!
That weight helps you drive very comfortable on the road and the Gs etc are better than alot of little cars that are suppose to be good track cars. Nissans, some of the amg's although not small and others. So you have a Real Muscle car! big, carries 5 adults if needed, your things to the strip. Runs smooth over bumps, does fair to good on a track and kicks asses and takes names at the strip because of the power.
My goodness......... AND LOOKS AWESOME.
Now Thats a car
Not only that.... Right now they are still on a benz platform with tweeks to help it around turns etc.
Decisions decisions Green or destroyer grey?
Destroyer grey. Do it. Do it. Why aren’t you doing it yet?
-Hansen
LOL 1. dont have the money yet may have to wait until early next year 2. None of the dealers in my area will have any until at least next month and the ones they will be getting will already be spoken for. 3. Do I want an HC or will a wide body Scat do just fine?
That supercharger whine makes a big difference imo. If you don’t care about that whine or the extra power then the widebody scat pack will be perfect. We will be getting a scat pack for a weeklong review in mid October so stay tuned for that.
$6,000 for 3 tenths bragging rights and “better handling” you dont need in a muscle car. Thats not why you buy the widebody. You buy one because it looks and goes like a Demon and it costs less. The scat wide body is really cool but honestly people will constantly think its a hellcat or demon and will want to race and it wont be able to hang. Just my opinion though
11 mins to empty the fuel tank at WOT?!! How many hard laps around the green death would that be, two?
Not quite 2 full laps... there's no way something this heavy is going to have laps that fast. The brakes will give up before the end of the first lap unless you drive to conserve them - and that's based purely on the weight (physics of how brakes work - just too much energy to dissipate).
Do you think people buy an 800 HP MUSCLE CAR GIVE A MUSTANGS SLOW ASS ABOUT FUEL ECONOMY?
MY 74 YR OLD FATHER IN LAW DID. HE BOUGHT A FORD ESCAPE INSTEAD OF A DODGE DURANGO RT BECAUSE OF GAS MILEAGE. I SHIT YOU NOT.
I WARNED HIM.
HE REGRETS IT EVERYDAY
I'll believe Dodge is serious about tracking cars when they get the Challenger GT3 spec'd. Until then it doesn't matter.
wow! in a very scary way
Awesome car. I have been debating trading my 2015 Scat Pack Shaker on one but no manual transmission is a bummer.
“Finally” ?
Speed limits is 55 ---- 75 according what road you are on
Lets state the real facts.No Demon sold to the public has ran a 9.65 and Chrysler did not use the drag radials they deliver the car with to run the 9.65.Secondly they had a stripped Demon with no rear seat,no sunroof a no option car and a 120 pound female driver.They ran a 9.68 with a similarly sized other driver.Most demons are running a low 10 second time with the rear seat in place and a normal size driver.A few have seen very high 9 second times and none at 140 mph.The Red eye which does not come with drag radials ,once fitted with a set will run within a tenth or 2 of what the Demon runs.Next the 11 horsepower difference between the 808 h.p Demon and 797 h.p Red eye is the different hoods.The demon hood allows for more cold air to get into the engine bay.Give the red eye the 840 h.p tune and it will be a very very close race.My friend ran a 10.54 in an all stock 2017 Challenger hellcat on mickey thompson drag radials here in montreal at Napierville dragway.Obviously the red eye will be several tenths quicker.A red eye on skinnies and drag radials will give a demon a great run.
Demons have been running high 9.7s and 9.8s in the good DA
No, mopars answer to a track is "more power"
Or Viper ACR moron.....
or Red eye moron...
Big Cizzle not in production
It's a 4500lb boat
Big Cizzle yes but the Viper doesn't really fall into the musclecar category, I was speaking on the challenger platform.
Mopower !
I still want a trackhawk 😏
They arent selling..dont worry there are many available in car lots
@@The570Experience
No worries. And you mean they werent selling. They went down to 90,000 k instead of 105 and that was enough to get it selling at a 35% faster clip
Good choice struggle.
That.engine and suv is running.easy mid 11s because of the all wheel drive.
@@soxfunny98 yeah...my comment was 3 months ago
@@The570Experience
Right which is why i brought up the price dropped after awhile and now they are selling at 90k.
Still alot of money but it seems people that own them......... Like them alot.
People that are racing them, street or track??? They LOVE THEM.
THEY HOOK GREAT, THEY HAVE THE POWER BUT YOU CAN GET 1200 HP AT WHEELS WITH NOT TOO MUCH WORK AND POUNDS ON MANY MANY CARS AND SUV'S??
UMMM FORGET IT.
THEY SMOKE 2018 5.0 10 SPEED STANG, THE CAMARO zl1 and many more. Chevy got the bone stock zl1 at 12.2 116mph
Ford turned a 12.0 at 116 and motor trend turned a 12.02 with n auto and 12.6 and 116 for both with manuel.
While the 5300 lb TRACKHAWK runs consistent 11.5s at 124.0
Gt350r is more for track
Hmmmm.... 3 car review channels release their hellcat redeye review within 2 minutes of each other. I'm only slightly suspicious.
The embargo has been lifted. Enjoy!
-Hansen
No shit...... Who cares enjoy the beast
Possibly the best purpose built car. Fastest 0-60 time car (of course under "ideal testing conditions" at 2.3s).....not a canyon carver or a car you'd want on a road course. Something you'd immediately see looking iat it's dimensions. Would I consider one? Not being a competitive drag racer? Someone that would never see a track (drive on)? With it's numb steering? I'd probably lean more towards a "track focused muscle car". Or "trackable sports car" like a Roush or Shelby Mustang. Great review! Well done!! Would have liked to have seen a POV on street driving impression. What is it like to drive in the city and the burbs? :) To maybe "drive daily"...looks like a Sunday morning driver to me.
We’ll be getting the Scat Pack for a week long review in mid October. We will talk about daily drivability then. You’ll be able to see that review on our channel when it becomes available. As for the Redeye, we are hoping we’ll get that in the future for a daily drive test. Thanks for watching!
