Lol, “if I was bound to it by a Gypsy curse”. Not one for you then.
Yeah that was excellent
I’m an American an my mom owns an Orange 5.7L hemi challenger. I think you’re right about it there being a lot of women who drive large muscle cars in America.
Come to arizona its nothing but hispanics and mexican guys driving them
A lot by me drive lifted jeeps and pickups.
Average annual mileage in the US is 15,000 per year. So 160,000 miles in 12 years is actually low mileage.
Exactly. The average European car owner drives 7000 miles per year, or less than half the distance of an American. In America, American cars on average last longer than European cars, while trailing the Asian cars for longevity.
It is not a performance car, it is a basic every day vehicle. It is made for driving you to work, the store and back, and it did not cost a lot as new. Compared to european cars this one has balls and is cheaper to maintain than a BMW, Mercedes etc. with a bigger motor.
The performance model is the SRT8.
2500 special on craigs maybe 4k for a nice one, the used AMG cars are also good . The 2006-2008 c63, cls63, and ML63 are 10-13k which is a great deal as they costed around 100k brand new . My all time favorite budget hot rod is the Dakota V8 especially with the manual and it's under $2k for a scratch and dent.
@@TheBikemaster94 I had a 98 Dakota rt single cab short box. It was a very fun truck
Wow you do not mince your words ! Great series you have created thanks
Hemi: (for those curious) A hemispherical combustion chamber, (& therefore often the accompanying domed pistons) is a type of combustion chamber in a reciprocating internal combustion engine with a domed cylinder head. The hemispherical shape provides a number of advantages over a reverse-flow cylinder head but comes up short in others, particularly in carbureted engines. An engine featuring this type of hemispherical chamber is known as a hemi engine.
Fiat, Peugeot, BMW, Toyota, and Daimler are just a few of the marks using Hemi’s in the very early 1900’s race/gran price, & road applications.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemispherical_combustion_chamber
Oh you mean just like virtually every other multivalve engine
Colin scutt no
Colin scutt most cylinder heads make for roof shaped combustion chambers, as a hemi with more than two valves wouldn’t work.
I think all American manufacturers in the mid to late 2000’s tried to out crap one another with interior lack of quality. Stateside VW, Honda and Toyota cars decided to follow suit as well. It took until 2012 or thereabouts before things improved.
As to the mileage on this car, we do tend to pile the miles on out cars. For the most part, they take it quite well. We don’t have to worry about the demon rust too much in the south, which helps. I hope you enjoy your time in NC. If you come by Charlotte and want to sample a worn out Dodge Caravan, give me a shout!
Picking holes in a car that is 12 years old... I think you are a bit late mate...!
About the handling he is right even to this day the challenger nor the charger is good for corners. Sure they have big power with the srt pack but you can't control easy that power.
@@ristekostadinov2820 I drive my '19 scat pack in the Ozarks, and it handles great. I take 30mph corners at 55/60 with no effort. A 2007 is nothing like the newer models. 485 hp, and I can get 28 mpg on the interstate. He really should have driven a newer model. Most car rental companies rent Charger rt's.
@@ristekostadinov2820 - 60-0 mph: 104 ft, 0.95g lateral grip isn't exactly poor- for ANY car-and especially for 4400lb full size cars (Charger, Challenger, 300 SRT/Scat) sure compared to a handful of cars now approaching 1.0g+ they're not as impressive. But people regularly make comments like these cars cannot turn at speed at all- which is completely false. Their sheer size and weight not withstanding, 0.95g is greater than nearly 70% of the cars on the road. Camaro & Mustang are being refocused as road course track machines- with appropriate suspension re-engineering and weight loss. The Dodge duo are full size GT cars- the Challenger has a cavernous trunk, and a useable-by-adults back seat, the Charger even more so in those categories. Based on the Challengers best sales ever so far in 2018(a 10 year old Challenger outsold the new Camaro last year), I don't believe Dodge will deviate too far from it's full size GT coupe strategy going forward.
@Curtis Fleabag except the person reviewing it on youtube lol
The Scat Packs are pretty good value. Amazing how long this old Mercedes chassis is being kept in service.
In England you would call this a performance car. In the US it's just a normal family car. Just because it has 5.7 Litres doesn't mean it's supposed to be fast. A big engine lasts longer. That's why it has 160K on it and it still runs fine!
Stating the obvious...I think 95% of people already get that point....
@@alanwayte1688 Well then I'm commenting for the 5% that don't!
I have basically the same car, a 2006 Dodge Magnum R/T. For it only being my 2nd car, I like it lol. It has needed a new ECU and fuel tank, but it's lasted for 207K miles and the engine doesn't seem to have lost any power from the factory. I do agree with him about the transmission though, I want to get some sort of aftermarket controller to help it shift at least a little faster
Keep that car I expect them to increase in value in the next few years.
I have the awd rt
You should try the current gen Charger quite an upgrade
Agreed...they're worlds apart in terms of quality of materials, feel and ergonomics.
@Curtis Fleabag I realize that, but my point wasn't necessarily referring to a redesign. The quality of materials as well as fit and finish. Ergonomics and aesthetics as well. All are vast improvements which can apply to all previous cars in Chrysler's line up.
He needs to drive a hellcat period
‘If I had one of these, the first thing I’d do would be to sell it’ .....absolutely killed me!
It might not be the first real hemi-engined car you have ever driven. Many engines over the years have had hemispherical combustion chambers but were never badged as a "HEMI". An old Jaguar XJ6 is an example I can call to mind (because I've got one) but I'm sure there are many others.
Wonder if one of the old Fords has them
@@JayEmmOnCars If you are referring to Ford's ownership of Jag then I should point out that I mean the REALLY old 6 cylinder Jag engine that came much earlier. But yeah maybe.
@@JayEmmOnCars early ish Porsche flat 6, some Mercedes V8s and I think an Alfa engine of some description?
Isn’t the Ford CVH a Hemi? Compound Valve angle Hemispherical combustion chamber
JayEmm on Cars if you got to drive my cvh Sierra before it went wrong you would have driven a hemi as they have a hemispherical combustion chamber!! The steering looks as positive in that charger as my Sierra too lol.
Loving your presentation style Jay, you have a good way of describing what you are experiencing as you drive 👍
Thankyou Dave
@@JayEmmOnCars
If you presented either TG or 'The Grand Bore' both would instantaneously become far more watchable! (I can't fault Chris Harris of course, but he's largely on his own).
Anyway, great review, beautifully eloquent in delivery, and all for the colourful run down on a *Chrysler Land Bastard* 😂
(A vastly different Chrysler to the Series 1 Alpine my mum had all those years ago!)
@ Thankyou, very kind
I have a 07 R/T AWD and love it
I will say the Daytona package fixes some of your complaints (I hope)
Interior has better(ish) plastic, decent leather, and a comfortable cloth section. It also has a K&N Air Filter which boosts +10 horsepower and makes the exhaust a bit louder. I have a tune on mine that makes the transmission smarter about speed, when you floor it, the system will put you into a lower gear a good bit quicker than standard, also boosts about 40 horses. All that for a little under $12,000 in total is not too shabby. Not to mention it’s only got 55k miles
Also yes it used to be my moms. Ironic.
I clicked like at the description of the interior: '... what a bucket of shit it is'.
I have to say I agree with you '
We are spoilt in Europe for the detail
In America ' its a whole different thing
Just get me there '
The chassis is actually a Mercedes so you can thank the Germans for the handling!
😂 You are a funny man, James. Very enjoyable to watch and you know how to talk about cars. 👍
The new 5.7's are at 400 hp and 410 foot pounds of torque coupled with an 8 speed, and the 6.4 is at 500hp / 485 torque now
"Bucket of shit" 😂🤣🤣😂
"The Dodge Landbastard R/T" Love it. It is incredible that such huge displacement has such low power figures. Good review JM, thoroughly enjoyed it.
You think that engine is understressed? Have you checked the figures for the 1980's Rolls Royce 6.75 litre V8's?
@@amanofmanyparts9120
Come on dude, comparing a motor built in 1980 to a 2017 motor?
@@JayOfBurn Built in the Twenty Teens, but designed in the ...
80's 😆
Meanwhile the Noughties version of the Rolls V8 pushes out over 550 HP! More with one or two turbos.
@@amanofmanyparts9120
They must have updated the design since then surely... even if they haven't, the production line should have improved, material quality should be improved, modern EFI and ECU should squeeze more out, even the fuel quality difference from then to now would have made a big difference.
It may be 5.7 L, but it weighs the same as a 3.4 L Porsche 6 cylinder and has more power (340 vs 265 hp). Displacement is not the same as engine size and weight. Pushrod engines are smaller and lighter than overhead cam engines which is why an LS fits in a Cayman.
HAHA! I just love an honest straight forward unbiased car review.......very entertaining and spot on. Love it!
Hope you're enjoying the USA Jay 😉
For your second charger, it should be a 2020 widebody hellcat
I was told designers and engineers were told they were designing the replacement for the Dynasty. They were shocked when this was renamed the Charger.
That is completely incorrect ....
I have connections, at Chrysler (that date back far) - It was created, and designated as replacement for the Dodge Intrepid. .. which is exactly what it is.
Just fyi.
I find that the title is not as good as the content. You don't need that, please be yourself as usual : )
Smells Like GASOLINE i think he summed it up perfectly. Huge engine and no real performance.
@@stuartchristie654 I just don't understand why he's refering to "English guy" and not..."I". That's like a common clickbait title to me.
The ignorance in the comment section is disappointing, you would think viewers of this channel wouldn't be this dumb. Generalizing american cars based on this Charger is like saying all european cars are the same as a Vauxhall Omega or a 1st generation Skoda Superb.
That’s because USA cars are generally ugly, lousy handling bloated heaps of junk and considering the engine size, power is lame. The Ford Mustang v8 is laughably slow, a golf r or Audi s3 is far quicker
@@stephenpeacock2627 It's always the Vw group scum that lies and insults others, no one else acts like this, the whole Vw group and their fanboys are cancer, the lowest of the low.
@@Mgoblagulkablong peacock is a pillock, also the only reason these inbreds are obessed with handling and small engines is because their roads are the size of our bike lanes and their gas is 3x the price. not everyone needs or wants a clown-sized car that has track handling with quad turbos, when did comfortable cruising become unfashionable
So if I said "mk4 Cortina 2.0 Ghia auto with a nasty bodykit and slotmag alloys would be the UK equivalent" would I be far off the mark? 😂
I had a 2008 300C Hemi for a couple of years. The 'box (Merc NAG1) lets it down - badly - and the standard brakes are terrible. Uprate the brakes, drive it manually and fit a cold air kit and a decent glasspack muffler set and you have a pretty good reliable car that will do 60 in under 6 secs. A ZF 6 or 8 speed would have improved it so much.
A bit nit-picky for a 12 year old car. Either way, 0-60 in 6 seconds and a top speed of 130+ is pretty good considering the power to weight. Funny review as well.
My awd magnum rt does 0 to 60 in about 5 seconds
130+ is pathetic for the size of engine, some 1.6 can go way quicker 😂💯👍
@@rutter1ifyThe litre size of the engine is 5.7, but the physical size of the engine is smaller - as it is a small block. The car also weighs double whatever the shitty car a 1.6L is in. I mean how dumb are you? The litre size of an engine literally has nothing to do with top speed.
@@rutter1ify you just have to buy a tuner to remove the governor
@TreeroyJ No, a stock Ford Fiesta is not faster. Not even the ST. And like I already said, the Hemi in the Charger is not a big engine. There are also, in case you didn't know, other factors involved with speed other than the engine and power.
Such as: Weight, transmission, gearing, aerodynamics, etc. But you Europeans are too stupid to understand that for some reason.
Mistake #1 - Reviewing a pre-2012 Charger
Mistake #2 - A non muscle car guy reviewing a muscle car
Mistake #3 - Expecting $100K worth of luxury in a car thats meant for a different customer base
Basically this guy screams that hes a jeremy fatson wannabe hoping to remake the anti-US glory moments of the propaganda show top gear uk.
What I recommend is that you show us a European car, that performs as well, as cheap, as easy to fix, and has a better style than a Charger. Bad reliability is one of the most famous lies about American cars, unless of course you think the chevy lacetti, aveo, spark, ford fiesta are American. European cars are notorious for breaking down the moment the warranty runs out, and then being financial suicide pits.
Cheers, from the EU.
I'm pretty sure I made a point in the review of saying reliability in it has been good
@@JayEmmOnCars And right after that you did mention the "American reputation" about reliability. Doesnt matter, what I said stands. In fact even though I admit pre-2012 Chargers arent the best, I'd like to see the list of 2007 cars that compete with this Charger, performance, style, reliability, price.
@@DesertStateNevada Ford Mondeo ST220 would be a good equivalent
@@JayEmmOnCars Alright, I'll take that. If you wanna get even closer in style, then the Ford Falcon. Point is, theres not many cars that compete.
The thing is, they didn't compete. The Charger was never sold in the UK because it simply would not have sold.
I do kinda wish there were more big simple V8 muscle cars and sedans in the world. No need for record-breaking performance, tech and bells & whistles, just a big smooth cruiser with V8 character. With both Ford and GM out of business down under, I guess we only have the Chrysler LXs and Ford Mustangs left. If only they were better made...
I'm an english guy living in Florida. I've owned a 2006 Daytona 5.7 RT charger for over a year till last Thursday when, on the way to work, a dumb bitch ran a red and totalled it. Put it this way I wont have another dodge. It had constant problems, handled like crap and drank fuel like it was going out of style. I'm glad I experienced the muscle car life but I'll be buying a German or far eastern car once they cut my insurance cheque.
The next generation is much better, better suspension tuning, better engine tuning, better steering, I've got a Pursuit and it can hustle around tight corners shockingly well for an AWD v8 powered land yacht with a 120+ inch wheelbase
LOTUS (now I’ve got JM’s followers attention haven’t I 😂) used a Hemi in The Elan’s Lotus-Ford Twin Cam Special/Cosworth TA specifically to help reach desired air fuel ratios.
The early Aston Martin V8’s from the 60s-80’s were hemi’s as well. For obvious reasons this was rarely advertised to such effect as Chrysler, if at all.
This old Charger looks good it would never get old they are so cheap now I need to get one of course with a Hemi
I love that road :) I did it many years ago in a Toyota Tacoma. I want to go back someday and do it in something fun.
Dodge Chargers do have good cup-holders, fer yer Mountain Dew!
Quality vid James
I just sold my 07 Charger R/T last Saturday, and I am picking up an 07 GT500 this Thursday. Then I click on this video and agree with everything he said about it..
That location looks incredible. Great video, reminds me once of the day when Doug DeMuro reviewed the Land Rover with really negative reviews and upset the Brits. He probably went back home in one of these and jumped off a bridge. What a vile car, but it looks nice in two of the side shots you captured. 60p a litre omg....
Somewhat “TH-camy” title but loving the content.
It's designed for the American market
The word you're looking for is "clickbait" ;)
JayEmm on Cars tbh I’m not really fussed by it your content is always rlly good.
i think this is the most annoyed I have seen you while reviewing a car, but I desire to see you damn a car even more!
Watch the CLA45 video
Your review of this car is so spot in. The height of mediocrity. But at least it does that very well.
This review is trash hes comparing a base model rt to a GT500 and a Hellcat
The GT500 gets mentioned because I literally just stepped out of one
@@JayEmmOnCars why even mention the Ford?? You're in a 2007 but compare it to something new?!? That is simply dumb. Would you compare the quality of a 2007 Jag to a 2019 Jag and marvel at how crap the 07 was??
@@MrThumbsofThunder The Ford was the same age
Also I just shot a video with a 13 year old Mercedes and the quality was amazing.
@@JayEmmOnCars and the cost of that Mercedes was?
Just look at it as an cruizer car, it's quite good then.
thats what its meant for
Great review man keep up the good work
I would have expected more views than this by now (19/6 : 8k views) considering it has American content. It does deserve it Jay. I'll not complain about your saying 'twenny' whilst you're away too!
It has done the best out of my American content so far
A 2007 vehicle "not really that old"? Seriously? This is 2019. After 12 odd years its accumulated about 160k miles. That's 13-14k miles per year, which seems rather normal here in the states. A level of use that's pretty typical IMO. I found your surprised reaction to that rather amusing. Regardless, thanks for another interesting video. Cheers.
I dont consider anything post 2000 that ancient
Im a brit living in USA. I agree with everything you said but quite frankly im glad the average Joe is driving these around instead of shitty 1.4L hatchbacks the UK is littered with with equally shitty build quality
Do you prefer the lifestyle over there compared to the UK?
@@ARDEN440i Most definitely. I actually feel i fit in better here than my own country
@@petayV8 That's really interesting. I'm also a Brit who lives in London and fantasied living in the States myself, but everything seems so much bigger and different there. I will be going for holiday to LA in a few months so hopefully I feel the same way as yourself.
@@ARDEN440i The states is very different state to state. I personally disliked LA. I live in NorCal in the Napa Valley. Next year im moving to Idaho for a lifestyle thats suites me a little better but its personal preference. Also people cant just emigrate here willy nilly there is a lot of paper work and i have a unique situation
When I was in the States last year I saw quite a few of those, liked the look of them & thought I'd search one out when I returned to the UK. Researching them didn't give great reviews for reliability & the quality of the interior. You also have to be buyer-wary of the "Hemi tick" (a common problem wit the camshaft) Save for that silly wing on the boot I quite like the look of them.
Yeah fiat quality
@Deez Nuts not heard of the "Hemi tick" then?
But man that r/t is like the tipical mondeo in uk with a 2.0 (except in america uses the 5.7 or 3.6) is a daily car, cheap, reliable to drive normally. The 6.1 is a much sharper experience, more sporty look and the exhaust have a fruity sound with a top speed arround 270-280 km/h.
Actually, I'm rather impressed. With the years and miles it's down right amazing that it looks and drives that well. For a Dodge that is pretty good.
A 2007 Dodge with 160,000 miles is only worth $4500 dollars. I’m not sure what he was expecting exactly but most $4500 (3438 GBP to you brits) cars are going to be a let down.
A 4500 dollar three series will cost a fortune to maintain. There is more to this stuff than driving dynamics. I could see a lot of people picking this old Chrysler, which will do another 100,000 miles with 1/10th the maintenance costs
@G W are you writing from Europe? In the USA parts for German cars cost ten times what they do for American cars. A 40 dollar water pump is 400 dollars for a German car. An American cars starter or alternator that costs under 100 bucks is 450+ for the Germans. It’s not the labors costs that get you (although this is another problem...everything is double the amount of time) it’s the parts costs that do you in.
It’s one of the reasons why I loved my british leyland cars. Nothing on a BL car could break that would cost more than 100 dollars to fix
...A 12 year old English made car would most likely be permanently broken down by now!!!
What an amazing drive. The car is a product of its place to e fair
RichieT5 "What an amazing drive." You don't get out much, do you, Richie.
Drove a 12 Charger R/T and was so disappointed in how lazy and sluggish it felt, guessing the new 8-speed makes a difference but either way an SRT8 or higher is the only way to go for these boats.
the engine is made out of iron so it slow down the car quite a bit because its super heavy. I think that the v6 chargers they sell today are almost faster than the 5.7.
“Yank tank”...LMAO! BTW, how many machine guns can you fit in the trunk?
nerd from land of 1.8 diesels escapes to America to try torque for the first time
Pretty sure my 1.9 diesel has nearly as much torque as this
Lol...you Americans...really don’t understand the British European Car....we value handling...that’s going round corners...oh gosh do I need to explain the concept...and performance from small capacity engines....with reasonable economy...and love a good interior ...I am not a James Fan...we actually disagree especially about Aston Martin....but your comments are so stereotypical American....what the percentage of Americans that hold a passport ...for the record I live near Oxford a small village outside Berlin in Spain..were we all speak Latin and build and drive 1.6 Diesel Lotus Evoras pick up trucks ...
Alan Wayte the UK is a postage stamp compared to the square mileage of the US. We have more miles of curved road than you have road period. We’ve got three prominent mountain ranges. If anything, you could sit down and take notes from us. We have small cars here that do decent numbers and carve mountain roads better than anything the UK eeks out. In fact most of your hot hatches were designed here in the states sooooooo maybe do a little thinking before you try and come across as some snooty little college kid.
The fact of the matter is we have V8s, 6s, and 4s falling out all over the place. Any regular minimum wage jaggoff out here can go and get a V8 Charger, which will last them until they destroy it, for a rather paltry sum. The UK gets salty because everything comes with such an exuberant tax, and then followed up by congestion and guzzler taxes that it’s practically useless to try and import. You say we’ll never understand; but I think it’s the UK who will never understand. Besides this V8 would eat you alive brother
Alan Wayte fuck bro check out the corvette. For the past like what, ten years, it’s been doing nothing but wrecking the European circuits. The past two generations have coupled horsepower and handling like no EU member could ever dream.
@@Coffee_AddictBMX the US cars are getting much better but are still behind in terms of handling. the new ZR1 is a beast but it cannot match the high end MR cars from europe.
At 4:25
I think Jay is undecided if he likes it or not😂
Funny to hear a large guy talking about how American cars are quite large. Even funnier to think about this large guy in a small car.
Don't think about it, instead watch it - google "fat guy's Lotus Elise"
Subscribed, great video!
Cheers
Great video
Thanks
It's a big heavy American car, as a Brit I'd say, Mmm, no surprises it handles like a half full bathtub
How did you avoid the speed-traps? That's how small-town America makes its BennyBux.
Fml I knew as I typed that single curse word it would likely get censored.
They look good in black, in your rear view mirror, chasing you with a bad guy behind the wheel.
"Appalacian Americans" - that's as disturbing as any of the other descriptions.
By the way, what road is that?
If I’m not mistaken, that’s a co developed platform from the Daimler/Chrysler period.
Yes, it's a Mercedes underneath
Love your reviews. Probably not too bad a car 10 years ago. Or not.
Looks like an early vectra from the back.
I'll tell you this,my friend,there's no such thing as a 4 door muscle car,back in the day there was an argument about whether small engined 2 door coupés were "muscle cars",regardless of body shape,labelling this a "Charger" is the same as labelling a cat as a dog,this was Chrysler-Benz cashing in on a cherished and revered name brand from the glory days of affordable two door brute powered "suicide machines".
Great review once again. Much love from Canada
Cheers
I was laughing all the way through this 😂
You’ll have to drive my grandfather’s 2006 R/T to appreciate the old charger
I love muscle cars they are cool. Euro or British cars are only exciting when expensive
I had a '95 Stratus, purchased after owning two cars that had excellent brakes. The Stratus' braking performance was surprisingly poor. Sad, because my late father had been a huge Chrysler fan.
I've always liked that car quite a lot (for a sedan), but it really is an underengineered piece of cheap plastic and steel.
I would still buy one, though.
Great vid! Although I think your expectations are a bit over blown....it's an entry level v8 car! It's a daily driver!...after being in your country for over a year, I learned something...you Brits don't drive very far...so your cars are small, light (tinny) and frankly not very comfortable... in the states, people will commute an hour to work, take a 17 hour road trip. A larger , heavier car is a requirement for comfort reasons
No offense, but it looks like a pile of wank..........it looks like it would be quite good if it had a manual gear box and if the germans made it instead.
@PeePee2000 Thanks for the reply.
Did you upload this after getting back to the UK?
Yes, all of my editing stuff is at home. This was shot in May
I dislike the charger but the endless whinging about a cheap muscle car being a cheap muscle car is silly. You can pick these up for $5000-7000 bucks in nice shape. For that price you get v8 soundtrack, comfortable, reasonable handling, and cheap. Nobody ever said it had an Audi interior. You sound like car and driver magazine endlessly complaining about the plastic. People in the us want power and they will trade soft touch plastic for power anytime. And in 2005 there was a lot of crappy plastic in most cars. One other thing that charger sounds like it’s not healthy. I drove a 300c and it ran a good bit stronger than that one.
Power is useless when the car weighs the same as a moon
The Charger has come a long way from 2013 onward. You should try get your hands on a Charger Hellcat if you can.
Really want to
You want something that doesn’t fall apart buy German, you want something that starts every day buy American and if you want both well Japan obviously.
If you don’t care about any of those things buy English.
If it was the super Bee 6.1L hemi charger you may feel a lot faster the 5.7L Hemi have a stock manifold the 6.1L has the proformence pack at 425 horsepower an with a super charger a 1000 horsepower
"...I have to confess that the new Charger, particularly the Hellcat, is a *good* looking car..."; "...Dodge have made 'leaps and bounds' over the way they 'do things..."
There has been very little change in the structure or appearance of the Charger in well over a decade.
Also, the "American" car stereotypes are a bit hollow considering it's an Italian automobile. ;)
The new charger is a very different looking thing to me. But then so is a Ferrari 355 vs a 348 even though they are obviously close relations
"If I had one of these the first thing I would do is sell it...."
😂
It's not that fast, handles not that well, it's 2 tons. It sounds more like a Land Rover and we see a LOT of women driving them in the UK, certainly around here in Cheshire. Maybe it's the security of having a heavy car that appeals?
I dont think the modern Hemi engines actually have the hemispherical cylinders, this is just modern marketing BS.
No they all have hemispherical combustion chambers, depending on the car/application etc. the pistons may or may not be domed as well, flat pistons are used to achieve a lower compression ratio to account for boost/lower octane fuels etc in some applications
What a bucket of shit it is.
Was NOT expecting that 😂
I grew up around what you call Yank Tanks and hated them. First car I drove was a Honda Accord. Not fast or cool but it was at least competently engineered. I would avoid that Dodge like the plague. Maybe more women drive them because they aren’t really interested on performance and men get bored with them or avoid them in the first place. All they are really good for is hauling kids and groceries up and down mostly straight boring roads at a leisurely pace, and maybe making a little bit of a rumble. They do have their fans. But those may be the vocal minority.
enjoy your accord pussy
LOL!
Hired a Dodge Charger a few years back when I was in Florida
Comfortable cruising but anything else shi@ bucket👍
comfortable cruising seems like the main purpose of a car eh
Yeah, you're clueless
When I hear Charger the F&F one pops up in my mind automatically, not that piece of crap. I never really liked that new iteration and I'm not surprised it's average at best.
If anyone knows “hemis” better than I do, please feel free to correct me, but to my knowledge, no Mopar “hemi” has had a hemispherical combustion chamber since the original in the mid 50s. It’s just a Mopar brand name.
I think you are correct in saying this car doesn't have hemispherical combustion chambers, but it does have HEMIspheroid chambers, so in a way it’s a HEMI, sort of.
Hemispheroid chambers have a greater chamber surface area for any given combustion chamber volume compared to hemispherical, in order to reduce thermal efficiency, to lower KOx emissions.
I believe the last Chrysler with true hemispherical chambers was last built in 1971? Then stopping production for new cars because they were unable to pass KOx emissions test of that time.
"Back home you don't generally see women driving performance cars"
Really?
Spend an afternoon in any affluent S/E town.
I'd be confident that Guildford, for example, probably has more females driving £100K Range Rover variants, Audis and Beemers than there are in the entirety of North Carolina...
Apologies, politeness compels me to say I did actually enjoy the video!
I don't consider a Range Rover a performance car, it's an oversized handbag
Range Rover is not a performance vehicle but for some reason recently I keep seeing women driving M4s and M235s.
