Which is why this car was able to make it to production. If you leave it to penny counters decide you'll have another Nissan where besides the GTR there's nothing else that comes to mind.
I just came on to type the same thing!! Lol! What a refreshing thing not to have some stuffed shirt dweeb trying to huck a car at you… Tim is a bad a$$ clearly and he eats up the gear stuff. Definitely makes me want one! Jays pretty darn cool as well!
Isn't he the same guy who cried and cried about Tesla quoting it's acceleration times with rollout when he unveiled the hellcat, and now that's how he's proudly boasting about times that include rollout for this car.
@austinlogan387 no hate on the Mustang, but Dodge split their muscle car sales through the Challenger, Charger, Durango, TRX, Trackhawk, Chrysler 300, and even the Wrangler 392. They made a muscle car for everyone.
Dodge and Plymouth have dominated the muscle car market and drag strips since 1962 beginning with the Max Wedge cars, Gen II Hemis, Vipers, SRT/10's TRX's and eventually the TrackHawks, Hellcats and Demons.
Seeing a CEO as knowledgeable and passionate as Tim is really refreshing. He was also surprisingly transparent and why they did certain things and couldn’t do other things.
Right? I'm still amazed that he was so honest on why the price of the sunroof is high lmfao! "If you pay for the sunroof then you're paying for the guy that likes to get fast wheels" "If you want both, great" hahahhaha I love it!
He’s doing what he love and he loves what a lot of us love. He gets paid very well to do it as a bonus. He knows all the right people too. It’s a dream he’s living and sharing it with us. If that makes sense. Incredible life. Very Knowledgeable man.
That is what I liked about it. His giggling every time he pressed the throttle. I'll never own one, but the fact that it exists is enough for me. Shame that some of these will be garage queens and never allowed to stretch their legs or even see a 1/4 mile track.
Jay Leno is freaking National Treasure! To see and hear jays laugh and massive smile just makes the world a better place for a moment! For a guy that has pretty much every badass car there ever was still get giddy about one is awesome! Love to see it and thanks for creating these videos Long Live the Leno!
Tim is definitely the Car Guy's CEO. It was also cool watching Jay chuckle like a little kid every time he mashed on the throttle. He's probably trying to decide whether to spec his out with the passenger seat for his wife or not lol...!! Either way, what an absolute animal. Kudos to Tim and his talented team at Dodge.

C'mon, it made Jay smile from ear to ear! The man owns or has driven so many cars and it makes him feel like a kid. I owned a 2020 Challenger Scat pack and had a blast, I can only imagine.
Absolutely mind boggling that this is a production car. I've never been a huge Dodge fan, but they have 100% of my respect after this achievement. They didn't just improve a few things, they innovated the hell out of this thing. Unreal.

@@MarkSmith-cz3by Is it dodge or the lefties voting for this? Ford killed the Mustang by making it an electric SUV, Chevy is killing the Camaro... Dodge is going out with a bang for their V8s.
Gotta love the CEO, so much knowledge and passion. Jays reactions are pure gold and what a Jobe the team at Dodge did, I want one so bad now.... I genuinely love this vehicle now
That's one car that I wish I could afford to buy as I'm a 60 year old man and on a very low fixed I. Jay Leno I love your beautiful car collection it is truly an amazing collection.
Me too... As far as limited income, that is. I'm 82 years old. The closest thing to a muscle car I had was a 1967 Oldsmobile 442 racing green convertible with white leather upholstery. Bought it in New Hampshire, drove it to San Jose and sold it at a considerable profit. Should never have sold it. It's be priceless now.
Not a big fan of dodge products but I can sure respect and admire when it’s due. This Demon 170 is one of those times. What a smart and passionate CEO!
Great video on an AMAZING CAR! Fun hang with Jay and everyone at the reveal, and thanks to Tim and the entire Dodge team for bringing us the most bas a$$ era of Mopar muscle to date! Tim is the real deal.... you can't find an auto CEO that's more of a car guy than him. And thanks for the shout out as well!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪💪💪
This car's soft suspension combined with that crazy engine, kind of that look when you step on it you see the chassi raise like 4 inches rofl. That's a lot of torque :D
Definitely a good final way to go out for the challenger always liked how instead of going lighter and sportier dodge just says add more power and make it stronger to handle it. Doesn't get much more muscle than that.
They tuned the high-pitched sound of the supercharger whine to the exact sound you make when you put your foot down, whether that sound is internal or external.
That little giggle when Jay steps on it from a stop is GENUINE PLEASURE on his part. My ‘73 Challenger (340) kind of gave me a similar reaction but by comparison it was NOTHING compared to the current Challengers. Fun at the time and if I had my hands on this car at 18 years old, I most certainly would NOT HAVE SURVIVED. I would have gone out with a huge grin tho’ !!!

I just love to hear a CEO like Tim be passionate about the race car. He really knows what he's talking about. He's driven that car A LOT.
JP, I live in Portage Michigan. The Pfizer plant is right down the street. 7 years ago the place was as empty as a Denny's at 3am. About five years ago they began building and ramping up production. Currently, a large addition was added. Huge construction effort! Looks like the finishing touches are being added. So my question is... if they were able to supply everyone with vaccines and boosters with existing structures, what are the new ones for?? The answer. New mandates.
It seems like Jay has been really enjoying a lot of cars in the past few videos. Good to see him laughing gleefully. And the CEO clearly loves this project too.
Thanks for coming by, Tim! Holy crap, that thing is bananas!! Cars like this are the reason that there are no Prius owners' "cars and coffee" groups. 😂 Thanks, Jay and Crew for another entertaining episode!✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
I haven't seen Jay smile so much from pushing down on the accelerator in a long time, what a torque monster, way to go Dodge. I know that the times are changing with the internal combustion engine demise in the near future, but thanks Dodge for going out with one hell of a muscle car. BTW Jay next time make sure that you put on the 5 point harness... Stay safe.
I had the opportunity to see and touch this car and the thing that amazed me the most was that looks like any other challenger but when you pay attention to the details it literally blows your mind, what an amazing machine!!!!
The Jay giggle is the best. Amazing car, being a hard core Mopar guy I would sky dive to get one of these and for anyone that knows me Tim doesnt sky dive.
The CEO makes this all so elementary..!!! I really enjoyed learning about the car and he made it all seem so thoughtful yet simple. Great at his job, BIG RESPECT
Thanks Jay. I have not watched a late night show since you have been gone, but I sure watch Jay Leno's Garage. Keep it going and please take care of yourself. May God continue to bless you.
Very refreshing to see a CEO talking passionately about the tech details and not marketing blurb and corporate babble The SRT is just the business, love it!
Jay looked and sounded like every little kid giggling when he floored it. Love it! Reminnded me of riding in Dad's hot rods growing up begging to floor it. Dad would love today's muscle.
@@michaelcole2571 Dodge actually has a good track record of CEOs who are also enthusiasts. When they branched out SRT as a separate brand they made Ralph Gilles CEO and he's also a huge car guy, he's actually been featured on throttle house with his retromodded 1970s Charger with a hellephant in it.
Last of its kind. What an incredible car. Love that you can adjust the torque curve on a 1000 hp blown alcohol motor with a screen. The last true detroit muscle car. Thanks tim.
Thank you, Jay. Seriously for all these videos. The time and effort you put into this (you can really tell the production is incredible) is inspiring given your level of success. To see someone at your level really care about the passion for these vehicles is pretty cool. You have another level of appreciation for these machines that we all share so thank you again for taking us along for the ride and showing us all these awesome rides.
Incredible. When I was a ten year old sitting next to my Dad in his ‘69 Barracuda with a 340 cubic inch a ‘Cuda passed us. I asked my Dad what it was, he said “a Hemi”. Now Chrysler put out this.
Seeing Jay chuckle every time he presses the accelerator made my day!! What a great car and hats off to Dodge for doing this. by the way my new motto is "there is no substitution for immaturity" thanks Jay!!!!
I fell in love with the Challenger ever since the 392 came out but this beast just made me crazy.Hats off to the Dodge team to create such a masterpiece.
Jay does the best product launch videos. I love that the CEO is a car guy who understands physics. I hope it trickles down and Dodge & Jeep return to prominence.
I'm generally NOT a fan of Chrysler. I think many of their products are low quality, and are not reliable nor durable. However, they do outrageous better than anyone else! This is a silly, ridiculous, very heavy car, but it's crazy, silly fun and fast! This car will be a conversation piece for anyone who can afford it and will put a big smile on their face when they drive it. It is an instant classic right now, and you can't say that about too many cars in a generation.

@@MarkSmith-cz3by Is it dodge or the lefties voting for this? Ford killed the Mustang by making it an electric SUV, Chevy is killing the Camaro... Dodge is going out with a bang for their V8s.
He didn't create it. Engineering did
Super down to earth CEO, but he does throw around the term “literally” needlessly way too much like an annoying teenage girl haha.
@@bretthong6137 engineers are clueless without a leader to guide them
Gotta love the CEO, so much knowledge and passion. Jays reactions are pure gold and what a Jobe the team at Dodge did, I want one so bad now.... I genuinely love this vehicle now
It's rare to get the CEO of a large company even on Jay Leno’s Garage
Ford did it
This man was here before when he presented the original Hellcat back in 2014
They line up for him if they got the right car to show.
It’s an advertisement‼️ This is not a corrupt Auto Review Channel.
Fake Times
Probably the most authentic and real reactions of Jay in any of his test drive videos. Love it!!!!
I was gonna say the same thing! The way he laughs and smiles is just genuine!
What makes this great is we've seen all the goodies Jay has and has driven and yet he's having a true blast driving this beast.
Glad too see you’re better after the injuries, Jay. This car is very slick.
That's one car that I wish I could afford to buy as I'm a 60 year old man and on a very low fixed I. Jay Leno I love your beautiful car collection it is truly an amazing collection.
Me too... As far as limited income, that is. I'm 82 years old. The closest thing to a muscle car I had was a 1967 Oldsmobile 442 racing green convertible with white leather upholstery. Bought it in New Hampshire, drove it to San Jose and sold it at a considerable profit. Should never have sold it. It's be priceless now.
Not a big fan of dodge products but I can sure respect and admire when it’s due. This Demon 170 is one of those times. What a smart and passionate CEO!
Yeah i hate dodge cars also in general i don’t like American cars but this car is impressive
Great video on an AMAZING CAR! Fun hang with Jay and everyone at the reveal, and thanks to Tim and the entire Dodge team for bringing us the most bas a$$ era of Mopar muscle to date! Tim is the real deal.... you can't find an auto CEO that's more of a car guy than him. And thanks for the shout out as well!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪💪💪
Loved the analogy! Perfectly explains the power of the 'instrument' and the talent needed to make it 'sing'. 👏
TIM LIES
@@devonp5079 Another one of your jealous comments, go watch a plaid video.
This car's soft suspension combined with that crazy engine, kind of that look when you step on it you see the chassi raise like 4 inches rofl. That's a lot of torque :D
I love that the CEO himself is here breaking down the ins and outs of this car to detailed and explained for even non car people to understand
Definitely a good final way to go out for the challenger always liked how instead of going lighter and sportier dodge just says add more power and make it stronger to handle it. Doesn't get much more muscle than that.
They tuned the high-pitched sound of the supercharger whine to the exact sound you make when you put your foot down, whether that sound is internal or external.
So iv've been following Jay's channel for ever and i have not seen him smile as much as he does driving this car.
Dodge smashed it out of the park with this thing.....an instant legend. 10 out of 10 🙌
Long after we're gone, this thing will be worth about half a billion dollars. Lol.
@@tonecapone8840 Now that is a long term investment.
I just want to say, on behalf of all Hellcat owners & fans, thank you Tim 🙏🏻👍🏻
I've never seen Jay so full of joy and happiness, with a genuine smile while driving any car. Till i saw him drive this car.
hes done it with hundreds of cars.. F1 cars included
Put a smile on my face seeing Jay smile that much
You can't beat the instant throttle response and torque of a belt driven supercharger. I love mine.
Jay,
This is just one the reasons we love the show, your passion .. and what in-depth information you deliver to the audience..
Thank you..!
At the end of one hell of a legacy... Rest in piece Hemi. (1953-2023 - 70 years of high powered Mopar's)
The Hemi is not going away
@@2010drive Wait, what?
@@2010drive they are….. dodge will no longer continue gas powered engines
You forgot to mention the 30 plus years in between they didn't offer one.
@@dmcdannnell3069Nope. 1953 was the first Hemi ever, and I never skipped a year, so...
That little giggle when Jay steps on it from a stop is GENUINE PLEASURE on his part. My ‘73 Challenger (340) kind of gave me a similar reaction but by comparison it was NOTHING compared to the current Challengers. Fun at the time and if I had my hands on this car at 18 years old, I most certainly would NOT HAVE SURVIVED. I would have gone out with a huge grin tho’ !!!
I just love to hear a CEO like Tim be passionate about the race car. He really knows what he's talking about. He's driven that car A LOT.
are you stupid??? he's letting stelantis KILL Dodge. no more ICE for Dodge. they are replacing them with batteries.
Seeing Jay have this much fun made all of us have fun along with him.
Great video!
JP, I live in Portage Michigan. The Pfizer plant is right down the street. 7 years ago the place was as empty as a Denny's at 3am. About five years ago they began building and ramping up production. Currently, a large addition was added. Huge construction effort! Looks like the finishing touches are being added. So my question is... if they were able to supply everyone with vaccines and boosters with existing structures, what are the new ones for?? The answer. New mandates.
I haven't seen Jay that excited by a new car in a long time. Great video Jay. Great car too
since 15 hellcat
It seems like Jay has been really enjoying a lot of cars in the past few videos. Good to see him laughing gleefully. And the CEO clearly loves this project too.
That car suits Jay like an old pair of jeans.
His chuckle when he kicks it is golden.
Stay golden, Ponyboy.
It's been a long time since a car blew me away, I'm so happy it's one of ours. This is a car to be proud of.
Thanks for coming by, Tim! Holy crap, that thing is bananas!! Cars like this are the reason that there are no Prius owners' "cars and coffee" groups. 😂 Thanks, Jay and Crew for another entertaining episode!✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
Tim lies about everything, a real 🤡
I've never seen Jay laughing so much over a car. He really is a car nut in more ways than one. Send it Jay !
I haven't seen Jay smile so much from pushing down on the accelerator in a long time, what a torque monster, way to go Dodge. I know that the times are changing with the internal combustion engine demise in the near future, but thanks Dodge for going out with one hell of a muscle car. BTW Jay next time make sure that you put on the 5 point harness... Stay safe.
This may indeed be the last of the (internal combustion) V-8 Interceptors! Hybrids and electrics will now take over... sadly.
I love the fact that Tim is so knowledgeable and all for keeping the muscle car alive. We need more automotive CEOs like him.
I had the opportunity to see and touch this car and the thing that amazed me the most was that looks like any other challenger but when you pay attention to the details it literally blows your mind, what an amazing machine!!!!
The pure joy on Jay's face says it all!
The Jay giggle is the best. Amazing car, being a hard core Mopar guy I would sky dive to get one of these and for anyone that knows me Tim doesnt sky dive.
The CEO makes this all so elementary..!!! I really enjoyed learning about the car and he made it all seem so thoughtful yet simple. Great at his job, BIG RESPECT
Thanks Jay. I have not watched a late night show since you have been gone, but I sure watch Jay Leno's Garage. Keep it going and please take care of yourself. May God continue to bless you.
I love that the CEO is so obviously knowledgeable himself ... and that he's so open about the importance of the car's management system.
That CEO sounds like a used car salesman, a real 🤡
Very refreshing to see a CEO talking passionately about the tech details and not marketing blurb and corporate babble
The SRT is just the business, love it!
Fake Times. Tim Lies
Jay looked and sounded like every little kid giggling when he floored it. Love it! Reminnded me of riding in Dad's hot rods growing up begging to floor it. Dad would love today's muscle.
Tim seems like a good dude. I have liked all three times he has been on the show.
Tim is a 🤡
Tim's depth pf detailed engineering and manufacturing knowledge is very impressive.
Tim’s lies are very impressive. Sounds like a used car salesman. A real 🤡
Last of the V-8 Interceptors. Yeah!
"There is no substitution for immaturity" - I agree 100% Jay 😂. I've never seen you this happy in any car! Love it!
This CEO must be an engineer! What a pleasure to listen to someone in charge that actually knows his stuff.
Tim, is that you? ☝️
You’re a 🤡
He's originally a salesman, with a Batchelor of Business Administration. He's not an engineer. But he knows his stuff that's for sure.
@@sports2hedz542even more impressive if anything
@@michaelcole2571 Dodge actually has a good track record of CEOs who are also enthusiasts. When they branched out SRT as a separate brand they made Ralph Gilles CEO and he's also a huge car guy, he's actually been featured on throttle house with his retromodded 1970s Charger with a hellephant in it.
"There is no substitution for immaturity". I believe that says it all. What a great episode.
Last of its kind. What an incredible car. Love that you can adjust the torque curve on a 1000 hp blown alcohol motor with a screen. The last true detroit muscle car. Thanks tim.
Wow. Engineering, fun, passion, everything you want. Thanks Jay
Thank you, Jay. Seriously for all these videos. The time and effort you put into this (you can really tell the production is incredible) is inspiring given your level of success.
To see someone at your level really care about the passion for these vehicles is pretty cool. You have another level of appreciation for these machines that we all share so thank you again for taking us along for the ride and showing us all these awesome rides.
This mans knowledge is so impressive, glad they sent him. Probably the best brand rep I've seen. Fn awesome. No wonder the car is so rad.
Incredible. When I was a ten year old sitting next to my Dad in his ‘69 Barracuda with a 340 cubic inch a ‘Cuda passed us. I asked my Dad what it was, he said “a Hemi”. Now Chrysler put out this.
Seeing Jay chuckle every time he presses the accelerator made my day!! What a great car and hats off to Dodge for doing this.
by the way my new motto is "there is no substitution for immaturity" thanks Jay!!!!
I fell in love with the Challenger ever since the 392 came out but this beast just made me crazy.Hats off to the Dodge team to create such a masterpiece.
I get such joy seeing Jay’s inner child giggle every time he gives it a little gas. How can you not smile when you see that.
Jay does the best product launch videos. I love that the CEO is a car guy who understands physics. I hope it trickles down and Dodge & Jeep return to prominence.
Out of the three muscle's, the Challenger is the one that truly pays respect to the heritage of this car segment. So sad to say farewell to them😢
Straight line only speed? Yeah that’s their thing, definitely not turning
@@BlackRam17 Sound, torque, emotion. Go actually drive a powerful car before you knock it.
@@BlackRam17 this isn't the 70s
Say farewell to the globalist criminal cabal soon enough, and everyone will finally see what a lie it all was.
@@BlackRam17oh are you bandwagoning that idea too? The challenger is a monster on the track.
I'm generally NOT a fan of Chrysler. I think many of their products are low quality, and are not reliable nor durable. However, they do outrageous better than anyone else! This is a silly, ridiculous, very heavy car, but it's crazy, silly fun and fast! This car will be a conversation piece for anyone who can afford it and will put a big smile on their face when they drive it. It is an instant classic right now, and you can't say that about too many cars in a generation.
An actual car guy as the CEO, no wonder their cars are so successful
The US car companies are putting car guys in charge. It’s great. They actually like driving cool cars.
Yeah the US has really improved the last 15 years. The days of Rodger Smith are over. 💪
*_Different product, but too bad Anheuser Busch/Bud Light didn't follow a similar strategy when they hired their current clueless executives. LOL_*
@@andyroid5028 Budlight has never been a good beer lol.
@Dane Edwards like most American cars....
love that little giggle when he floors it !!!...wow...I remember from the '70's performance cars are dead!
Seeing Jay so giddy brought a hard smile to my face I couldn't get rid of. One of the rare episodes I wish would never end.
