@@shawnjones7512 Same I absolutely love the Dodge Challenger series it doesn't matter what it is SXT/GT/RT/SRT8/Hellcat/Hellcat Redeye/Demon... I love them all!
They "upgraded" the brakes by installing lower quality crap. If they wanted more power, a simple pad upgrade would have done fine. Couple weeks and those powerstops will either warp or crack at the drilled holes.
not only that, but those brakes don't hold up to the rust belt part of the US. They last about 1 year before they are rusted and chunks of shit are falling out of them getting stuck in the calipers. Not to mention "race" brake pads they were talking about, do not work until the brakes are hot.. so if you slam on them because a deer runs out the car wont do anything til the last second
The pads themselves are actually nice have a scat pack myself. The brembo pads are nice too but a ton of dust. The powerstops seem to stop even tighter and have less dust. Don't have any numbers recorded though.
@mike force why wouldn't they? Pretty sure the same 4 pot Brembos have been used since 06 to current, leaving the bolt spacing/pattern the same. I do know they're a direct fit on at least the 2015 and up SRT cars. A LOT of cheddar tho...
@mike force Dear Mike, thank you for being such a cool guy on the internet. You won today. Gold star. You must really slay all the wiener at your local gym. You're the one not paying attention, I know FOR A FACT THAT YOU CAN USE HELLCAT 6 PISTON BREMBOS ON SRT CARS AND THEY BOLT RIGHT ON. Scat Pack cars are optioned with them. That clarify it for you, hunn?
@mike force OEM Six Piston Brembo's bolt right up to any Challenger with SRT8 Spindles. So yeah, you're wrong. :) And here's the proof since you *obviously* don't have a clue. :) www.challengertalk.com/threads/hellcat-front-and-rear-brakes.298234/#post-4641706
BaggedF100 Nothing wrong with turbos, they’re badass in their own way and often have their own niche that they fit in, personally I just expect most HEMI engines to be suited with superchargers because that’s more retrospective to “Muscle Cars”. It would be like someone buying a Nissan GT-R and going “welp time to rip out those turbos and put a blower in it”.
nah im sure with the twin turbo build there putting in here they will account for that and make close to 1000hp in this car. and you can always add boost to turbos easily
@ it make 728hp and its 3 parts to this and they dont even show all of the build or dyno. they work on the 1100hp merc then in show 18 go to driving school and the owner drives the car, there is no race between them
@@CamaroAmx and I misread lol. Yeah I agree the shifter itself is ugly. I've thought about buying that Hurst replacement one, but it's not worth the money to me.
I'm on the opposite. I hate the Hellcat, Charger dash and gauges. They all look the same.....like my pos 2014 Dart. The early dash and gauges look more retro to the 70 Challenger.
This is by far one of the most satisfying videos I've ever seen! The way those foodie videos make people feel? Well that's what this did for me great job on the video guys!
I wish things were this easy. Especially the part about using the impact gun for everything. I used to be that optimistic but after cross threadening a few fastners i stoped using powertools to install things. I only use them to remove.
I love this! These 2 hosts are professional, informative and very natural on camera. I can't wait to see the conclusion. The voice over guy however is trying way WAY too hard! Liked and subscribed in spite of him
I understand how shows like this work and the “excuse” of brake balance but removing Brembo’s to install some poverty-stops? Hurts to see, especially being they’re still 4 pot.
@@GT-43 what im saying is the 6speed manual use to have the most gears. But again tech caught up and surpassed the gears and lightning fast shifts we humans cannot mimic.
Word of note, leave the big half axel nut on when if you want to save them. Because if you hit them with a big hammer, it will damage the threads on the end if you don't!!! You will find it some what difficult to get that big nut back on. You might find it difficult getting a core credit from it if the big nut is not on it!!!
Technically hellcat is faster knowing that it’s too dyno speed according to motor trend is 225 mph, where as the demon is limited to 168 mph, the demon is much quicker off the line but after the half mile the hellcat would take over
Yea there is something special about that 6.1. I got one that still brand new with 16 original miles hemi orange. They are rare cars and from what I've read about the motor it's a twin plug design more like the old 426 hemi
I have the same car, except mine is brilliant black with red hash marks on the front 1/4s and Scat Pack style stripe in back. The 4 piston brembos stop them in just 110' from 60 mph, which is pretty damn impressive for the big beautiful pigs 4k+ wt and is the one so-called upgrade they didn't need to do lol
wow brembos replaced with power stop....I don't know about that one...but can i have the brembos? does not hurt to ask....is there part 2 to this video ?? would love to see the ending...thanks for the video great job.
Lol. Hey!! I use power stop.. but I have a Challenger R/T - And don't have a production budget to "Beat" a hell cat. You guys are funny I'd love to win this thing though awesome build.

did you guys already do the giveaway
@@religiousabuse It looks like the story was from the 2015 season.
Can those rotors fit stock 4 piston brembo?
My birthday is on the 8th. I'd love to have this challenger. Its mine and my sons favorite car!!!
@@shawnjones7512 Same I absolutely love the Dodge Challenger series it doesn't matter what it is SXT/GT/RT/SRT8/Hellcat/Hellcat Redeye/Demon... I love them all!
Definitely wouldn’t have traded out the brembos for powerstop but I understand it’s for the sponsor lol
haha I was getting ready to comment the same thing.
@@pharoahamunra I was going to say the same thing. Why would you give up six piston calipers for four piston?
Nathan L It performs worse now lol.
Oh I thought I was watching this in reverse!
They "upgraded" the brakes by installing lower quality crap. If they wanted more power, a simple pad upgrade would have done fine. Couple weeks and those powerstops will either warp or crack at the drilled holes.
If I win it, can I get the Brembos back ??
This is an old episode so highly doubt it lol.
@@allanb3222 it was posted sep 30th that was what 3 days ago lol
@@Rumsey.30HATE It was aired 3 yrs ago, these are just reruns.
@@allanb3222 oh for real lol was it from the og tv show then? And either way why get rid of the brembos lol and I apologize
allanb3222 yeah “hellcat is the top of the line” it’s the demon now so you can tell it’s kinda old
Those powerstops are in no way better than the brembos. I mean that's a downgrade.
not only that, but those brakes don't hold up to the rust belt part of the US. They last about 1 year before they are rusted and chunks of shit are falling out of them getting stuck in the calipers. Not to mention "race" brake pads they were talking about, do not work until the brakes are hot.. so if you slam on them because a deer runs out the car wont do anything til the last second
I'm sure they know this, but powerstop is a sponsor sooo...
Especially when they are competing with 6 piston Brembos....silly!
Names Rule !!?!!
The pads themselves are actually nice have a scat pack myself. The brembo pads are nice too but a ton of dust. The powerstops seem to stop even tighter and have less dust. Don't have any numbers recorded though.
Why does this feel like an early 2000s show with the background music and everything😭
The hellcat will now murder this thing in a braking test lol. The stock brembos stop REALLY well.
robertsrt they should’ve put hellcat Bremos on it
@mike force why wouldn't they? Pretty sure the same 4 pot Brembos have been used since 06 to current, leaving the bolt spacing/pattern the same. I do know they're a direct fit on at least the 2015 and up SRT cars. A LOT of cheddar tho...

Would’ve liked to have seen the engine being beefed up too
Inject roids into it
NeedForSpeed2004 oh, it does get beefed up
@@karlsmith2570 the internals weren’t upgraded what he meant
@@MichaelMulin ok, even if the internals weren't upgraded, it was still beefed up
Though, it wouldn't take much to beef up the internals
th-cam.com/video/ueS8XGQub7U/w-d-xo.html
Didn't realized they still filmed shows like this. Feels like 2003 all over again.
Feels like im watching a 2005 commercial
When you turn friendly fire off
This video looks like its not in 2019
The alabama man looks like a man from 2009
Ukko Laitinen or 2015 because that’s when the hellcat came out
Should have kept the brembo calipers
right! And I've never heard a race car driver give a shit about his rear brakes and "braking balance" in my life... If they even have rear brakes lol
@@gittyupalice96 I feel like that braking balance is bs
It’s all about sponsorship.
@@gittyupalice96 I can assure you brake balance is important, well maybe not in drag racing, but for every other disciplines it is.
You lost me at “twin-turbo Hemi”
"Discount double check". 😎
Why? Turbos are badass
BaggedF100 Nothing wrong with turbos, they’re badass in their own way and often have their own niche that they fit in, personally I just expect most HEMI engines to be suited with superchargers because that’s more retrospective to “Muscle Cars”. It would be like someone buying a Nissan GT-R and going “welp time to rip out those turbos and put a blower in it”.
@@aaronrodgers5852 that's when you put two superchargers instead of the turbos
Now the hellcat owner changes super charger pulleys and your screwed
nah, stroked twin turbo. i doubt that seriously.
nah im sure with the twin turbo build there putting in here they will account for that and make close to 1000hp in this car. and you can always add boost to turbos easily
*_It's a Dodge after 10k of driven it brakes down and both go home in a Chevy._*
@@Thelongmanable it's time to wake up now
@ it make 728hp and its 3 parts to this and they dont even show all of the build or dyno. they work on the 1100hp merc then in show 18 go to driving school and the owner drives the car, there is no race between them
When I win this thing, I'm putting the Brembos back on and I'll let you work on my '06 300 SRT8 for your next project.
Who said you winning this boat is mines sir
But in reality neither of you will win it.
We can always hope lol
when I win it i'll wreck it and then take it to get scrapped.
@@xxxod Well damn! Lol
Who else cringed when he put the impact gun by the fender?....
Lol did you see the part where they impacted the connecting rod
You mean when he SLAMMED the gun down on that fender. Oh yeah. I went OHH!
I'd still rather have a Hellcat. The jump in interior quality from pre and post facelift is just too much for me. Hate the gauges in the 09-14s.
Jeromy Williams I hate the auto shifters in the current ones.
@@CamaroAmx the 8 speed? I enjoy it well enough in my R/T. If I was buying the car for myself instead of my wife I would have got a 6 speed 392.

I like the earlier gauges from the 08 to 14s. They have that retro feel and look. The new ones look like a baboon with Down's syndrome.
Good grief, their torque measurements are all Ugga Duggas lol
They just went to town with that impact. I work In avation and this was real fucking cringey
I use the german tq spec of goodntight
@@I5ZQ8 I was thinking the same thing. I wouldn't want these guys working on my car...
This is by far one of the most satisfying videos I've ever seen! The way those foodie videos make people feel? Well that's what this did for me great job on the video guys!
this episode and video description is amazing, thank you guys for the content
proud owner of a 2009 black srt8 6spd :)
Really cool to see all the suspension work you guys did, not many videos out that detail that. Cheers!
“This ol car wasn’t sittin down here no time and them boys down there at engine power done snatched that ol hemi” 🏎
Beautiful car, I would love to ride in that monster... Nice build guys.
I’d love to have a challenger. It’s been my dream car since the 2010 model came out and I saw this video and got so excited. Love yours guys work
They gave this shit years ago 😂😂
Just get one, you won't regret it

Pretty funny when they said 8 gears for the auto, and 6 gears the manual lol use to be the other way around but technology caught up to us ;)
Hmmm ,I've encountered another josh
@@joshedits3196 haha!! :)
@@GT-43 what im saying is the 6speed manual use to have the most gears. But again tech caught up and surpassed the gears and lightning fast shifts we humans cannot mimic.
I love the color on the Hellcat.
I want that car 😍always a big fan of Mopar . Loves those hemis
This is the build I needed
Really cool video love the color of the car!!!!
I love how they hyped me up but there’s no part two to this in TH-cam 😭
Winning this would be a blessing. Awesome videos
That's season 3 episode 11. That was a couple years ago, and Bob Bondurant actually drove it too! And it turned out to be an awesome car!

Dodge engineers are insane. I can't believe how this thing is put together. Hats off to the powernation crew for messing with this.
torque specs = 3 ugaduggas
Seriously, they sure are trigger happy....
Lmao!
Nice I'm here wishing up on one Star.
Love the idea. Keep it coming. :)
How man ugga duggas to hit those bolt torque specs?
German torque spec. guten tight.
@Clobercow1 itsjusta6 🤣🤣
Right man fuck it impact on everything
Usually 3 ugga duggas is a safe click check😂😂😂
These guys are impact happy.
Load that baby up and send it my way lol. Well I went to the powerstop page and it says this contest is over.
Yo.. I have my RT challenger that I've been wanting to upgrade specially when a hellcat rolls by . This is definitely the video that I needed.
This build isnt compatible with an R/T.
@J C I could be wrong, I have no idea what they are doing, yet. So we'll see what happens.
Boy that 5.7 a dog don’t waste ur money you won’t be faster than a hellcat
I had to look away whenever the impact came out to tighten down those nuts and bolts lol
-Hellcat:Fastest produced muscle car
-Demon:laughs

The Brembos would have to go back on so I can stop quicker to pick Bimbos.
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL
u guys are amazing
The 6.1 was a great engine period
5:05 Did he just put that nut on there then take if off with the impact? Maybe they forgot to cut that part off
Hahaha

my favorite part of these shows is all the sponsor ad products.
Bro that 6.1 damn just fire 9/10 years later... Just something about it 😎
Yea there is something special about that 6.1. I got one that still brand new with 16 original miles hemi orange. They are rare cars and from what I've read about the motor it's a twin plug design more like the old 426 hemi

Love to see you do a build on an 09 RT!!! Use mine if your down. 🤘😎🤘
Love to win that ride but I know that wouldn't happen.But is nice to see the build
Just the front end work to make the Challenger handle better would've been good enough for me.
i cant wait to do this to my challenger
This is why I love Power Nation!

Mmmm I love new parts . I would gave the undercarriage a bit of por15
Sand blast and some paint or at the very least a good coat of Krown or Fluidfilm
