Oh, I know, haha! I didn't take offense or anything. People say I look like Shaggy from Scooby Doo too. I've goten that one for years, lol. And yeah, that whole week of filming was during a snowstorm, but I got through it. Glad you enjoy the vids!
I want one!!! Looks awesome even in snow. I'm a Mustang guy ( I have two S197's GT), but I also like the Challenger and Camaro. Thanks for sharing your video.
Thank you! I'm a huge fan of SaabKyle04, so being compared to him makes me think I'm doing something good, haha! I'm in no competition though. Thanks for watching!
WOW ur reviews even better from cnet and kbb guys, amazing n comprehensive ones, I really wish 2 c a review for Nissan Xterra 2012/2011 and i an pretty sure it will be the best on the web, many thanks for your grate efforts.
I had a dream I bought this car... I planned on after college either buying this, a new Camaro or a Mustang, they all look nice but I'm leaning for the Camaro, can I get some opinions on some pros and cons of this car beyond what is in this video?
its good that they made it with full automatic transmission and also the touch screen and the navigation and hands free phone cool its a very nice ride i hope dodge sticks with automatic transmission i for one don't want a manual car.. good job on the review keep it up :)
Um snow is not going into the engine. Those are hood scoops that do nothing more than take in air to better cool the engine. They don't lead "into" the engine. What do you think happens when you drive in the rain? You think none of that water gets into the engine compartment?
I guess you've never heard of water injection, which allows for higher compression and more advanced timing. The cooler the incoming charge, the denser it can be and the mlre power it can make. I really doubt an engine would ever suffer hydrolock from a few flakes.
SUCH a lovely day for a tour of a car that will probably never turn a wheel in snow... 1:15 - The Challenger didn't "come back in 1978 in a smaller platform". They just slapped the nameplate on a wimpy rice Mitsubishi. 2:37 - Those aren't "extractors" on the hood. They're for incoming air to the engine. I guess the snow must have befuddled you.
Well, All the trucks and SUV's i have ever owned were POSI... But i mean, I had to drive my Uncles z06 from the repair shop. I had next to no traction issues going up a pass. Mind you, it DID had all season tires and 2 sand bags. Only other light vehicle i have driven in the Winter was a Lotus Elise... Again, with All Seasons... The lotus had a little slip on some uphill Hairpins. There is no reason that these vehicles CANNOT be driven in the winter. If they cannot, it is driver error.
No problem, and to clarify I wasn't being mean when I said that. You're a good sport, and make cool videos. Must have sucked making a muscle car review in a snowstorm?
Yes...definitely under rated. Put my 2012 300 SRT8 on the dyno on a 92 degree day and it put down 423hp at the wheels; at 18% drive train loss known for the setup, that equates to 499 at the crank and on a cool day it could add another 5-10 hp on top of that.
Ya see thats exactly what i said until i started hearing from a couple owners of SRT8's talking about their engines flooding from driving in the rain and snow. Personally i think you're right but i'm sure there are others out there who would beg to differ with us.
Am i the only one who has the ability to drive muscle cars in the winter? I mean, I also have mountains / slush to contend with and i have never gone into a ditch or "accidentaly" lost control. It's RWD.... Just like a 2wd Pickup or SUV...
Again, water will not go "into" the engine through these hood scoops. They are in no way connected to the motor. They simply let more air into the engine compartment for better cooling.
I have a 2012 SRT8 Challenger with the 6 speed.... Barton short throw, K&N cold air, and a SLP loudmouth exhaust with mufflers deleted i have a few videos on my you tube..LOVE MY BLACKBERRY!! yes I drive it in the snow Northern Pennsylvania winters
waiting for mine.. in pure white.. because they don't have blue with white stripes or white with blue..with no sunroof lol. and yes.. the tremec.. POWAAHHHH!!!
Cut and dry- + Can actually seat 4 people + Lots of trunk space + Most horsepower + Best looking + Exclusive + Most comfortable + Interior is made of high quality material + Most retro + HEMI - Slowest - Most expensive - Drinks the most gas - Interior is ugly looking - Its huge!
i'd give dodge a break about driving in the snow (see what i did there?) seriously though, just put some nice tires and some traction control on the car and voila. really, the only thing stupid about doing this review at the given time is that those are functional air intakes, being snowed on. meaning snow is going into the engine little by little... and melting... not good for running the motor.
the car looks orgasmic ..the exterior design is sick as fuck ..but the interior ...to much plastic ..i srsly dont like the dashbord ..if they went for a retro look ..it would of looked way better ..but still a awsome car
Why do American cars all make their fuel door so vulnerable to vandals? I mean they don't require a key to open the flap. Can't somebody just dump sand or pee in there? The Challenger, Ford Focus, etc.
hope it has a good under coating.
Great job showing just about every aspect of the srt8!

g a what do you have now?
that was the best review of this car i have ever seen
Thank you! I'm a huge fan of SaabKyle04, so being compared to him makes me think I'm doing something good, haha! I'm in no competition though. Thanks for watching!
I don't know to be honest. I just go by what the brochure and websites tell me, but that's an interesting thought though.
This is pretty much Saabkle04 but i really like yours, cant tell which is better yet though. Very good job
the best review dodge challenger. you is a excellent professional. congrats :) !!!

@Loren , mine has never seen snow .. Odd are not good at all with 400+ft torque
What are the new features on the 2013 dodge challenger srt8?
its good that they made it with full automatic transmission and also the touch screen and the navigation and hands free phone cool its a very nice ride i hope dodge sticks with automatic transmission i for one don't want a manual car.. good job on the review keep it up :)
How often could you drive it in the winter with snow tires and traction control?
im curious how it handles in the snow before i buy one...
Um snow is not going into the engine. Those are hood scoops that do nothing more than take in air to better cool the engine. They don't lead "into" the engine. What do you think happens when you drive in the rain? You think none of that water gets into the engine compartment?
IS IT GOOD TO DRIVE THIS IN THE SNOW ?
Cool video. Anyone ever tell you that you look a bit like that kid Jake from 2 1/2 men?
@gunmaster0047
Thank you very much! I appreciate that =)
@extebax20
This one was $51,380.
This is a well done video. thanks
nice vid, that things a beast

Hey I have a question ik you prolly don't even think abt this app but does the srt8 392 2012 have track mode options etc ?
@@JusDee 2012 SRT model only has 2 modes but full complement of gauges views.
Great video
....but why in the snow
My friend has lost control of his challenger in the snow so many times!! Funny stories to tell really!
+MUSCLECREWDave A year later and still no story..
Ya see thats exactly what i said until i started hearing from a couple owners of SRT8's talking about their engines flooding from driving in the rain and snow.
Personally i think you're right but i'm sure there are others out there who would beg to differ with us.
I live in wisconsin and i drive a charger in the snow just need to knoe how to drive it right
What wheels are those?
nice video
You didn't want to drive it in that snow?
They have really out done theselves to bring back this classic. :)
Beautiful car. Love it!
Great Review. Thank you.
Because that snow is really tearing that rubber up.
such a beautiful car
They do...it's called the SRT8 Core. Starts at just under $40k.
Are those stock rims
Yeah
beautiful car
Hmmmm, thanks for your input!
very nyc reveiw
Man change the title of the video and add the "392" give the car its respect!!
It's just a car. It comes and goes, you can't take it with you when you die...
Agon.
@Leon...shut up..
Leon Visa YES YOU CAN! PLEASE TELL ME YOU CAN?
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
thanx 4 the upload your a pro
Am i the only one who has the ability to drive muscle cars in the winter?
I mean, I also have mountains / slush to contend with and i have never gone into a ditch or "accidentaly" lost control.
It's RWD.... Just like a 2wd Pickup or SUV...
why didn't you open the sunroof? xD
Dang I miss mine. I want this same year again. The new ones are very nice, but it’s something about this year.
dislikes = people who like the car to the point where they are made they can't have one
Again, water will not go "into" the engine through these hood scoops. They are in no way connected to the motor. They simply let more air into the engine compartment for better cooling.
I just don't get it. Manual not standard in an SRT8?!?!?!?! I drive a Mustang but damn do these cars look amazing in black!
I have a 2014 Challenger SRT8. I don’t even let her see rain let alone snow.
and you'll have to paint the inside wheel after the rust sets in I had to!
nice vid
It bloody well FEELS like 500. mind you the car is 4,200 pounds lol. might do a driving video tomorrow.
Im having one of those imported to the uk

I have a 2012 SRT8 Challenger with the 6 speed.... Barton short throw, K&N cold air, and a SLP loudmouth exhaust with mufflers deleted i have a few videos on my you tube..LOVE MY BLACKBERRY!! yes I drive it in the snow Northern Pennsylvania winters
This is the first time ive seen it in the snow
It would have been fun to watch you do some shittys in the snow.

Me. I had the whole week off from work.
IF your careful, why not?
My dream car ❤❤❤❤
I love this car.
...." If he were sitting in that Challenger , the snow would melt......" (DOS EQUIS)
That is easy. Lighter and a lot more aerodynamic, and probably a newer gen fuel injection system.
If this can as is class A can pull a 2021 where it's a screaming tank than my goal is good
That's what I plan on doing!!
It comes in handy in Cali... Trust me, it's not fun holding your cell phone under your wrist like a walkie talkie...
@gunmaster0047 I sooooo agree with you
Simply put. A great muscle car.with the umphh needed to kick some Fords and Chevy's butts!
This is my Car! i just dont have it yet :P
Uhh. There's snow in your car..
nicee...i want onee
Next time let it thaw out!
🏜
my fucking dream car.
Challengers Rock
I want thes car
i'd give dodge a break about driving in the snow (see what i did there?)
seriously though, just put some nice tires and some traction control on the car and voila.
really, the only thing stupid about doing this review at the given time is that those are functional air intakes, being snowed on. meaning snow is going into the engine little by little... and melting... not good for running the motor.
I cant take this video with it snowing lol poor challenger!
there not functional air scoops anyways
@manofthefog
Hahaha!
I swear, next person I see doing a car review who turns the wheel without moving the vehicle moving should have to buy new freaking tires for the car.
Dear Santa...
A Canadian like myself
the car looks orgasmic ..the exterior design is sick as fuck ..but the interior ...to much plastic ..i srsly dont like the dashbord ..if they went for a retro look ..it would of looked way better ..but still a awsome car
