Great review! I really enjoy watching your videos. I wish I could have heard your opinions and driving impressions on the scat pack wide body though. It seems like everyone is focused on the hellcat and Redeye. Please do another short review video that includes everything that was left unsaid due to the driving embargo !
The Fast Lane Car Why Dodge Always LB-FT OF TORQUE Less Than HP ?
very good comparison of both cars , good review , beautiful cars,
The Fast Lane Car That wasn't a review
Love Nathan, and the fact that he appreciates good American muscle too.
I hope they never change the looks.
This is one of the most beautiful cars ever built
Absolutely, this is my favorite car and body style. It’s one of my biggest “fears” that they change it. I’m not willing to spend 80k on a car now, so I’m going to wait a couple of years. Hope they keep it.
@@texanerection492 i got bad news for you
@@texanerection492 me too broo😍
The Hellcat is becoming the base model in the lineup. It's crazy what Dodge has done with an old Mercedes chassis!
Teddy's Lift World ummm
Yeah, an old W124 in drag...
Actually the W210 chaise
It is like Porsche with the 911, just keep massaging it. For a decade. But I'm not mad...
Which was a modified and changed W124 chassis...
I just came to read the comments of people who want the redeye manual transmission but don't actually drive manual and just making an excuse.
Demon is 808hp at 93 octane vs 797hp redeye 93 octane = 11 unnoticeable hp.
The redeye is the best option if you can afford it.
Rey Perez the demon also has an 840 hp option as well. Not going against what you said, just mentioning it
i was all ready to buy a Demon but they would not put an 8 track in it for me so i stormed out of the showroom
Exodious that's only with race fuel! Yes they build it to accept racing fuel which is amazing.
But you can build a regular hellcat or anycar to accept racing fuel!!
Redeye is basically a demon minus the drag radials the suspension and some other small stuff.
Redeye is the best all around, it can turn better it has a higher top speed.
Exodious and weight reduction parts
If I could afford it I’d buy a redeye, but I’ll stick with my c5z for a little longer. I do wish the redeye came with a manual, but its probably best it came with an auto. Damn student loans keeping me from going 200
hahaha it's the love child! Great review on both. That redeye looks like it's a lot of fun. Nice job guys
yes I buy the 2019 challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye
Like 707hp wasn’t enough 😍😂😍 gotta love Dodge ..
Nah I’d rather pay 30k for a gt500 with 3k miles and be dead even with a hellcat stock
@@themechanicred ford will collapse on u bro, dont even play dumb. And plus a Redeye will gap a any shelby. Stock vs Stock
I just can’t get over how good the Redeye looks, such an amazing car with crazy performance, my dream car for sure!
@@omarchaudry yes very beautiful but not as nice as the demon
@@JT-gh9hi capppppp lol gt500s walking red eyes my guy
I'm in midlife crisis right now, perfect time to buy one!
Max G. Did you get one? I’m at the same point my man...
I feel you. Getting one as well
I bought a 2013 viper when I went thru mine🏁😎
Wolf Man better choice
Just add the demon hood to the red-eye, BOOM! 808hp🤣🤷🏾♂️
Azazel-_xl the demon doesn’t reach 840 unless it has a full tank of 100 plus octane race fuel and an added demon create package lol... So still, 808 is demon power... I’m good with that... I’d take it to the track here and there but it would mainly be my daily driver...
bye gas
@Azazel-_xl tuning will!
Awesome review ..... there’s a lot to be said to Roman’s point, it won’t have the Bugatti’s $12k oil change, it won’t require the McClarren’s 3k mile engine checkup, won’t need Ferrari’s $500hr service for blinker replacement nor will it need specifically trained mechanics with one-off tools the vast majority of others require
Tim Fox it’ll never be as fast as a Bugatti nor will handle as good as the other two
This is TH-cam ... plenty of vids of exotics/ hyper cars eating it big time ... Eddy Griffin slamming into a concrete barrier because the Ferrari couldn’t turn comes to mind. Repairs to the dodge are a lot less than an exotic ... you could buy a second car for what a front end replacement would be on an exotic
Texarmageddon you're just a straight up hater 😂 you keep commenting on challenger videos trying to bash it, if you don't like something you wouldn't be constantly watching lol
Matador Hernandez never said I didn’t like the car... I just hate unrealistic expectations
Yes ur right but dodge wont get u as much pussy as the farrari and mc claren would lol
Its a great day to be alive to see Nathan and Roman together in a review again!
These two make the best car reviews on TH-cam hands down😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I just can’t get over how good the Redeye looks, such an amazing car with crazy performance, my dream car for sure!
I own a supercharged Mustang. I work at GM. If I were to ever buy another muscle car it would be a Hellcat hands down! I wouldn't even consider a Camaro or Mustang. Especially after driving a friend's 2017 Hellcat last week. Incredible machine.
Even watching this video was a lot of fun, do more, thanks...
We'll both are true mucle cars but the Red-eye is the one I would go with
Its a great day to be alive to see Nathan and Roman in a review!
The red eye has a stronger built engine, torque converter, drive shaft, half shafts, and bigger intake and supercharger to mention a few things than the hellcat. It's bullet proof compared to the hellcat. I'd buy the red eye widebody for $11k more.
I ordered My 2019 Red Eye the other Day ..White Exterior with blood red Interior...Happy Holidays for me..too excited!!!
Does anyone else get triggered by the red eye not just rounding up hp number to 800 it would grab so much more attention. 797 hp is amazing
Me: Casually Clicks on this video for a comparison of the Hellcat Vs the Redeye
Also Me: Oh My God Theres A Rush Shirt!
2:16, "695 lb-ft of torque"? when it says 656 lb-ft on the screen. 656 is the Hellcat...I've seen 707 lb-ft quoted for the Redeye.
Lol , If the tires ain't spinnin . I aint grinnin .
It’s something about looking at the new cluster on the red eye and seeing the 220 mph on the dash.
Awesome review you to love the difference in opinions as well as enjoyment you guys are a hoot
I would take the Hellcat Widebody with a manual. I like the manual connection and it more fun to me, that tenth is not as important and with a tune I could be faster than a Redeye
It was obivous how much fun you guys were having in the entire video. Thanks for the sweet comparison.
On these cars visual wise, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. I think if FCA did a major overhaul in terms of redesign, in my POV, they would ruin a very familiar visual profile that has grown on me since the release of the Hellcat Charger and Challenger back in 2015. I really like that they not only gave it a few very small Easter eggs, but they were more focused on the internals rather than the visuals, although they did change the hoods, which I think looks retro, yet badass in terms of that dual-snorkel hood. That being said, I’m aware that some will think the Challenger has become outdated since the Challenger’s release and I totally respect that. What do I think about it? I think that despite having throwbacks to the classic late-60s and early-70s Challengers, it still has some elements that also make it look pretty contemporary as well like the wheel design for instance. Again we all will have different views on this, as Nate pointed out, assuming you watched the video. Anyways great vid as always! 👍
Honestly it’s already second to seller.
All FCA needs to do is make the interior on par with the Ram trucks and focus on making it super reliable.
They need to That in general though.
I think more of the complaints are the Hellcats look like base model challengers. If you think about it we’re paying 3 times as much for a car that looks the same as their base models they should’ve made all the V8s widebody or somehow a little more aggressive looking.
Awesome car, but mostly an awesome review!
Thanks for the kind words!
Nathan you are too funny at the beginning! Had to watch it multiple times! Be sure not to give Roman a heart attack!
Tommy Gordon Jr I try my best
Thanks!
Best Challenger review I’ve seen today. 👍🏼
I'd be happy to just still have the 71 RT I had 40 years ago , I wouldn't know what to do with 700+ HP . Great video . , , , OK yes I would I ride a Ninja now at 62 .
Both cars together and no drag race? I’ll never watch these old ladies again.
You should put labels on the screen of which vehicle you're in at the time to let the viewers know which vehicle you're in. Just a tip. I think it would be useful, especially when comparing vehicle's so people wouldn't get confused on which vehicle you're currently in/using/talking about. Keep up the great videos.
I can't wait for the hellcats prices to go all the way down.
Kwezzy so about 10 years from now when the better ones come around?
yep because I don't care about the newer and better ones. I just want one with 707.
Cheaper to just get a used Scat pack and rebuild and turbo it...would make alot more power for $20k less.
great so then i can see those in the local high school parking lot, what a great day it'll be when 16 year olds from wealthy families are getting handed the keys to 700 horsepower rear wheel drive muscle cars.
If u can’t wait get the 2018 model
305/35/20 DR's wrapped around 10.5" wheels help the non widebody get power down you get the traditional Challenger look + the traction best of both worlds in my opinion👍🏾
Id buy a hellcat if i lived in the US
Then you should just come. It's not like anyone is going to stop you lol
habu srt not wit dis corona virus
So the Redeye they were testing was at a 88K sticker price of you include Tax and License your close to that 100k mark. So do you buy a limited production Demon with more special features and better looking hood, at the simular price or do you get a Redeye. And at the end they said they would get the Hellcat for 17k cheaper!
So the Hellcat widebody would be the better deal. 👍
Great review!
I have seen that the 2017 hellcat also has a red key fob , that seems to unlock more power.
Great review this car is a monster
2019 Red eye wide body & Hellcat wide body vs 2019 Mustang Bullitt & Mustang GT 350. Who would you choose?
I'd go for the redeye wide body 😍
Victor C mustangs are trash you only go for a Ford if you can’t afford a Dodge or Chevy
The widebody Redeye! More power and much better looking exterior too!
What a great comparison review! Now I finally get the difference....2020 Widebody Redeye here I come!
Awesome comparison, from a hellcat owner, I love the original hellcat hood (2016-2019), the new ones 2020 look awful. As cool as the widebody looks, if I step it up, ill try to get a demon, even though limited and probably used, be worth it. Regardless all personal preference and all them are great cars. Love Dodge!!!!
Great job guys!
Thumbs up to your Rush shirt!!!
Now that you have Steven in Canada I would love for you guy's to open a TFL-East in New Hampshire...
The Drag from/too run the Bigger supercharger is why it probably doesn't rev as quick.
The Redeye seems like the better car because "it's the most expensive", but I also think the narrow/wide body hellcat is just as good if not better? It's very seldom these days where people buy these bad boys and leave them stock. Hellcats have proven to make large amounts of power with basic modifications. What it really comes down to is how deep are your pockets. Either way they're almost the same. Beautiful cars though!
I want to know what happens to the lap times with a Redeye widebody on some sticky tires. Maybe some Michelin Sport Cup 2s. That's the trick Lamborghini uses to get good numbers from a heavy car.
goatmonkey2112 Or some 305/35r20 Toyo R888R tires along with more fade resistant brake pads and heat tolerant brake fluid.
Oh ya not taking aerodynamics into account, rear wheel steering, awd, carbon ceramic brakes.. Making it seem just tires will do it smfh
The profound effect of some racing wheels, cc-brakes and improved downforce (with a stupidly obscene wing) could be seen on the Viper ACR and its time improvement over its "casual" siblings...
(awd on the other hand doesn't make a well balanced car faster round a track, other than some pretty messed up fwd-boxes like audis and such.)
Of course a Lamborghini or Viper, or whatever exotic would be faster, but you can't deny the huge improvements from tires. The tire options from the factory on the Challenger are pretty weak. It's either all seasons, drag radials, or mediocre Pirellis. The 305s are finally wide enough, now to handle all of that mass some really sticky tires would make a huge difference. It should be capable of turning in times similar to a heavy AMG or something like that on the right tires.
True...TIRES are the #1 most important performance part on a high powered car. It would easily pick up an additional 2 secs on a 2.5 mile+/- race track. It would also show that a stiffer suspension would be needed. T/A viper was 2 sec faster with the Michelin cups that with the stock Pirelli Corsa tires around Laguna Seca.
Ralph Gilles and the boys at SRT really outdid themselves with a Demon that can take corners and not limited edition. Sergio Marchionne must be smiling from heaven.
"supercharger LAG"??
What is that? The screws are directly connected to the crank...?
As much as I love the challenger I still dream of a time they will make a GT hellcat awd as an option. Lots of power with excellent handling. 😁
Man tell when he asked you "do you know who Jerome Betis is"? You were just playing, the guy is a legend on football field nickname "the bus". C'MON MAN!
I was under the impression that only the redeye got the double scoop hood. Thought that hellcat still had the regular hood
What's scary is that you can get the redeye without the widebody.
I have a 2015 hellcat and I drove a redeye, there was no difference in the ride ??
Love it.
Somebody has to say it.
The HarleyPlus of cars.
Not the most agile.
But rumbles of immense power. And a rumble that commands respect of driver and time.
Mopar always out of the box..
What we loved as kids.
Classic lines ( mine where 50's thru early 70's)
Only true Muscle car on the market.
Thumbs up for you and Mopar.
That B5 blue is incredible
"717 hp and 695 lb torque" you meant 656 lb torque
TLF, keep up the great content boys!!!!!!!!!
I'd just do the Scat Pack wide body and save some money. Great video.
Dustin Juell scat is fun as well
A42yearoldARAB my friend has the none wide body 2015 and it's enough power for me.
Great car wish we could have them in the uk
Ya know theirs gotta be some limit ..."get the new 2025 hellcat now with 1007 hp"
This comment aged perfect
Easy fix, slap 10.5-11” wide wheels, then slap on 305s or 315s on the rear, it’ll hook MTs or Nittos preferably
enjoyed the caparison, truly the look on you guys faces while getting your boogie on, says it all!
BOTH need to loose weight, I'm talking about cars ofcourse.
And Roman and Nathan 😉
NoNegotiations 😂😂💀 sure you are
*lose
@JO Thank you OCD guy.
Actually it's grammar guy....if it was OCD I'd have also mentioned your OFCOURSE, But that was a typo instead of not knowing which word to use. This was a teachable moment for you...You're welcome.
awesomeness!!! thank god Nathan was driving he knows how to haul ass! looking forward to the charger review I'm considering buying a Scat pack or Daytona.. but if Hellcat prices drop to the 40's that'll be something to surely consider. Thx Roman and Nathan t
I’ll just wait a couple of years and scoop up a Redeye at a reasonable price when the hype wears off.
So Nathan, are we getting a top speed test?
Interesting they say the hellcat loses 4 mph in top speed because of the widebody...BUT the Redeye doesn't lose anything?
It's just a body kit so that makes zero sense...
@@MrPAULONEAL ??? That .... Makes " no sense". You didn't get what I was saying.
If the widebody option Drops the standard Hellcat's Topspeed by that much, It WOULD drop the Redeye 's Too.
All the Time/Speds They gave are Very Questionable. For example, the Standard Hellcat ... Doesn't do 203mph. A 10Hp increase doesn't Increase Top Speed by 4mph, Especially when the New hood, Increases Drag.The guy even Said the wrong Torque Rating for the Hellcat.
Man if only I could push myself to work a little harder... I'd definitely scoop up a SP, HC, or Redeye. Probably would be safer(And cheaper) to get the SP.
Love the review.especially the bus reference.steelers nation would be proud.
Demon vs Red-eye
Same engine
Different horsepower
Red-eye: All Purpose
Demon: Drag Car
I just put wider wheels and tires. 315/35/20 rear on 20x11 and a 285/35/20 front on 20x9.5
I'm thinking the 2019 Yellow Jacket SRT Hell Cat with carbon fiber striping is the way to go as far as color !! Man does that ever look sweet !!
i love the burn outs!!!! SMOKE EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!
If you guys want to pick up a redeye but the sky high price is making you think twice, then wait a year or two for the prices to drop and jump on a used one W/ low miles. You can get such a banger deal on these used hellcats/redeyes, especially since you let the first owner take the big hit (depreciation) instead of you.
The widebody scatpack seems like the best value. Not enough opportunities in the USA to use 707hp wish we had an autobahn
Alumnikiid I live in NYC so a Hellcat would be completely pointless.
Alumnikiid here in Texas we have wide and straight highways... if the drivers knew how to drive (like those in Germany) we could have been rewarded our own version of the autobahn
revving an unloaded engine slowly makes it destroy itself because the power does not leave it and it is like hitting yourself in the face
Y'all guys should race both cars
I have a T/A 392 and the Redeye is my new dream!
I like the hellcat redeye the best with everything
I Love my 2017 hellcat but love the red eye a lot. Traction always an issue. Any Model 3P test coming?
Can't beat our wheels!!!
Love both Hellcats. Cant wait for the Hellcat Charger to get the Widebody and the RedEye Hemi!!!
I love that pop noise.
Beautiful shirt Nathan !!
Sign me up for a Gt Awd. Didn’t even know Dodge messed around in that area with Challengers.
Those quarter mile times at 7:20 explain why the fastest demon time anyone has ever achieved is 10.23, and that was done in winter. The redeye has basically the same engine but runs 11.1 and 10.8.
I saw a Demon do 9.9, also in colder weather and good track conditions
@@Photoshop098 wasn't stock though. Like i said, quickest stock tire demon is currently 10.23.
@@StrykerV8 Wasn't the one Dodge ran a 9.65 with completely stock too? Yeah yeah, I know that was a miracle pass and will probably never be done again. No telling how many passes and hours of prep it took to achieve that time.
@@Bamabrute85 pre-production car. A guy named demonology has quite a few mods and he averages low to mid 10s. Fastest stock is 10.23
@@StrykerV8 Demonology has bogart wheels and different tires. That's all he has done if I remember correctly. And no, he doesn't have a tune like people say he does. His suspension was setup the same as a Hellcat by accident from the factory. All they did was change it to how it's supposed to be. He's been a 9.85 btw.
220 on the dash!? JESUS!
I would wait on the supposedly coming new generation.
Would have loved it with a manual transmission.
I would get the "ordinary" Hellcat Widebody then. It can be had with stick.
Brenden Sider it doesn't have the transbrake it has torque reserve
They don't have a manual apparently that can handle that much torque
Andrew L. Thats the story they tell. When it came to putting a manual in the Charger, they had another story... they always have a story. I think they don’t want to outsell their competition too badly, because of something behind the scenes.
You can get the regular hellcat with the widebody too. It's not exclusive to the redeye.
❤️ this!! I have a 2015 SRT.... I absolutely ❤️ my Challenger... updated it to have 510hp.... I love the Demon and Hellcat... but don’t have a no need... kids pull up nxt to me in their “hot rods “... meh... my 510 smokes them... but their mommy & daddy are paying for their fuel
I don’t understand why dodge didn’t include eYe being Red inside the badge from day one. That’s the hole point of the Hellcat, no matter it’s 707 or 797 HP.
Could you guys compare a Challenger hellcat versus a charger hellcat wide body and both? Drag race handling etc... Comfort, crappy mileage...
Classic Roman and Nathan
This is very enthralling! Quite shopping for one. I'm bending towards Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye, but a few of my friends told me to wait for the 2019 Ford Shelby GT 500 code named the "Predator" subjectively packing over 700whp with Launch control. Then, there is the Chevy Camaro ZLI 1LE, the fastest, best handling sports car of 2019 that does evrything with stellar performances. I surely would like to see the Red eye, Shelby GT 500 and ZL1-1LE on an intense comparo. Might help me somewhat.
Every dislike is ford and Chevy and jdm fanboys.
You guys realize the new challengers and chargers almost share nothing suspension wise or chassis wise from its predecessor years ago that use to utilize some E Class components.
*walks in to SRT Headquarters*
"He- WHY IS THE DEMON HAVING SEX WITH THE HELLCAT"
