100%, And this is from someone who never really liked the styling of the old one to begin with, always thought the front was too flat and would look better with more of a point.
I agree, and I see potential in the new Charger. The proportions seem right, and the old Charger it's inspired by was a beautiful car, IMO. But these Challengers are just right.
Nah, had the new one had a V8 you would not being saying that. The new one looks faithfully close like the 2nd Gen Charger. This is clearly dated, to the point the old 70s Challenger look modern.

The EV Charger is the prettiest car Dodge has made in a long, long time. It's everything else about it that's awful. This Challenger by comparison looks like a swollen ford pinto
@@pilotdog68Are you joking? The new gen charger looks decent ( I just hate how it’s an ev) , but the last gen challenger ( hard to believe I’m even saying last gen) runs marathons around it
I have a challenger myself and speaking from experience. It is a comfortable vehicle. I have gone on 6 hour drives with it without feeling any kind of back pains or discomfort.
Trackhawk and Hellcat Durangos fit that niche. Chally/Charger platform is heavy enough already. And if they did make one I think they would be very expensive and heavy.
Nah, you don't need AWD to plant power. Just the right chassis, suspension, wheels, and tires. 1000hp is impressive to the general public, but there's many, many cars people build in their garage with a lot more. I have a buddy with a 2400hp Fox that gets it all to the ground at the track. **cough** can't TURN well of course hehe ;)
There is a TH-cam named KhalSRT and he is actually making that, it’s a custom AWD Chrysler 300 with the demon 170 motor in it. Things a beast I’d definitely check his channel out if your interested in what it would look like👌🏽
Seriously guys, we need more videos. It´s been a long time since I got so impatient and excited for a new video. Greetings from Spain. You make the best car reviews ever to exist.
6:31 is perfect, James says "This is full power all the time" and their faces when Thomas hits it are Priceless. Thomas looks genuinely concerned 😂 Exactly why we love these cars 😊Love you guys!
As someone from Eastern Europe, the principle behind American products and behaviour is often weird to me. Unnecessarily extravagant, flamboyant, BIG, so much power it can't even remotely be called useful anymore. This car is the ultimate incarnation of these principles. And I can't not love it to death for it. Owning one of these is a dream that most likely will never come true for someone like me, but even being alive in a time where I can see and listen to this monster - even if just through a TH-cam video - is something I'm utmostly grateful for. Americans, you're friggin crazy, and thank God for that.
Remember when Clarkson drove the C6 ZR1 and the R8 and marveled at how amazing and wonderful the R8 was to look at and drive compared to the Vette? Yet he said he’d take the Corvette because it was so mentally insane lol.
With each year that passes, I love my 2020 Scat Pack Shaker more and more. It's so fun to drive and also terrifying if you let someone else behind the wheel who has never driven something like it.
@@stevendavis6157how is he lost when he is correct, also how come i only see the challenger and chargers at auto cross and at road courses and not beamers?
Big wheels/low-profile tires are overrated. They ride worse, cost more, are fragile. The only real benefit is steering feel and maybe .01 higher skidpad results.
@@JoshHockmanlike they said, big heavy boat with a big heavy engine strapped inside. Nothing but low end grunt and throaty exhaust notes, the beauty of straight line speed and no handling whatsoever 😂
I don't have a track mear me, so i don't care how amazing a car handles, i care that it puts a smile on your face every time you press the gas pedal and that thing is Amazing
That supercharger intake is no joke ! What a send-off, anyone who says a 4wd or EV is faster simply just don't get it. This car is perfection for what it is !
I remember when they first announced the original demon and I thought that was the most insane car they will ever make, now there is the 170, and it’s sad to know we will never get to see what they could have done to top this one too.
Yeah I was thinking the same. I was really hoping for a TG like cut to them pulling up to a strip and trying their best to put in a good time. At least a road where they get to open it up a bit more. I wanna see this thing opened up at WOT down a straight.
@@carlton4824tbh, what even is the point of the term muscle car anymore. First it was big car with a big motor, now it’s big car with a big motor that can’t turn.
So dodge was the only muscle car maker of recent history then? Because the ZL1 1LE is made as a track car and the mustang i guess is a pony car? Which idk wtf pony car means now and what else in the world is a pony car?
I love the dynamic of these two. I’m not a new fan but man, I just appreciate you two as car reviewers. Amazing and natural dynamic. It’s really like just watching two life long friends lol
My friend took me for a drive in his hellcat, and it was legitimately the most crazy experience I’ve ever had in a car. That supercharged sound is intoxicating, and just how loud it was was deafening 😭, god I love it. My amg was nothing compared to it
speaking from experience the challenger is one of the most fun and comfortable cars there are. did a road trip from LA to NY, avg 25mpg. definitely one of the best options out there.
Wait a f'n second ?? Of all of the countless drag strips and countless drag strip pictures ever - you happen to show a picture of my local drag strip: Cecil County Drag Strip in Cecil County Maryland !! Represent !!
Lets hope not. The mass population can get by on EV or hybrid tech with a multitude of safety tech. If we push the shitty politicians right, we can keep these kinds of things around for a very long time.
This is what I am talking about. When they drove the ev, there was no smile or enjoyment. Once they got in a dodge demon, it looked like their spirits rose to the sky
Wow. When you realize that driving is an experience rather than a calculated best of the best nonsense. Categorization is great and actually makes for new innovation and development on cars.
I’ve seen one of these at a cars and coffee event and it did a rolling burnout and I got straight goosebumps after hearing the supercharger and it was 80+ outside 😭. Love the channel and the content tho; you guys have reviewed all of my dream cars now including the Demon 170 🫶🏽🔥💯
It’s basically the world’s strongest person and biggest bodybuilder that skips 100% of the leg days. it can bench 350000 lbs with ease, but when you ask it to walk over from an arm length distance it will just fall and fail.
I’m only a little disappointed that there was still tread left on my tires when you were finished. Merry Christ-mats, guys!

When will they make an AWD version that can actually put the power down? These things get smoked by far less powerful cars on the regular.

As someone that grew up around Drag Racing and participated myself, You’re so missing the point of this car.
The fact that this thing tries to do a wheelie every time you give it more than 50% throttle is mad!

Seriously guys, we need more videos. It´s been a long time since I got so impatient and excited for a new video. Greetings from Spain. You make the best car reviews ever to exist.
But Dodge has an official third-party partner to have a roll cage & parachute installed for the Demon 170 to make it NHRA-compliant

This is drag car that just happens to be street legal. Its purpose is to go fast in a straight line and that’s it.
UNNECESSARY FUN. Thats the entire point of it, nothing more.
tip: do not call Canadians Americans.
Honorary American comment. You can immigrate anytime, bud. You get it.
Remember when Clarkson drove the C6 ZR1 and the R8 and marveled at how amazing and wonderful the R8 was to look at and drive compared to the Vette? Yet he said he’d take the Corvette because it was so mentally insane lol.
The British-Canadian-Boston accent was wild.
And Chevy let the Camaro go out with a whimper....
Idk how much better on the track the Camaro could've gotten than the ZL1 1LE, but if they had room they should have upped the ante
Z28 was the one to collect.
If a new owner of a Demon 170 doesn’t wreck it within 5 minutes of driving it off the lot then the owner doesn’t deserve the Demon 170.
With each year that passes, I love my 2020 Scat Pack Shaker more and more. It's so fun to drive and also terrifying if you let someone else behind the wheel who has never driven something like it.
