How can I get a job doing 0-60 times all day?
start a youtube channel and go test drive cars and video it and hope to hell you are likeable enough to get subs.
and hey even if you're shit on, you still will get $$ as long as your videos get views.
what u need to do is what he said but when uplaodeing promote it
This man really dont know how to drive. I got 5.55 in with my dodge challenger R/T which only got 375 HP about half the amount of the Hellcat. The srt8 with a real driver can do mid 4s. This thing will easily do mid 3s. You just need a real driver
oh please tell us what kind of magic would make this car do mid 3s. it's poorly engineered and therefore has a very bad traction. it can't make use of it's power, tipical american car.
CroGamer1 youd be surprised seeing how they can be tuned easily in the 4
it's auto... whatchu mean real driver
The DODGE/SRT-employed engineer drove the car, and it still wasn't all that faster.
CroGamer1 anybody who ever driven a Muscle car with a big V8 knows that you can't just floor the throttle from a dead start because all what you will get is a lot of tyre spin probably a burnout even if it was an automatic. it needs some skills. and another reason why the car didn't launch proprely is that they didn't turn the traction control off. if you ever drove a real muscle car you should know that.
I know thats not the fastest this car can do 0-60, but a 2013 mustang gt can do it in 4.7 with anybody in the car so.... and the mustang has almost 300 less horsepower. Not trying to be a fanboy, just saying...
It's all about who's driving.
A dedicated drag strip would probably help the time too. This looks like a straight on a race track that they just blocked off to do some standing start runs. A real drag strip has had so many cars go down it that there is rubber embedded into the surface and it gives better launches.
Those days are gone. Now days most cars are automatic with either AWD or Launch Control. So driver doesn't matter as much as it would in a RWD manual car with no electronics to aid acceleration.
***** That's what he is saying... That's why the driver is irrelevant. Launch Control + Automatic trans = a 5 year old can launch the car just as well as a pro as long as he can reach the pedals.
LOL My diesel would do a 0-60 in 4.9 seconds and that was a 8,300 lb truck. The 302 does it in 4 flat. The Hellcat is just another fat cat.
Video, or it didn't happen.......
A 8300 ibs truck 4.9 to 60? Keep lying idiot
You don't know anything about diesels...
I know you're a troll!!!!
Just look on TH-cam at all the videos of guys doing 0-60's well under 5 seconds with diesel pickups. My truck was a 2008 6.4 Powerstroke duel turbo, fully deleted, H&S Mini Maxx, S&B intake, MBRP 4 inch straight pipe. Made around 580 horse to the wheels and 1,100 ft lbs or torque.
"The best part of a racetrack, the straightaway" Lets agree to disagree on that one Nathan.
Well that is seriously embarrassing. Even the expert couldn't get it under 4.7 seconds. I'm sure people are going to say, "But it had the wrong tyres," or, "the conditions were wrong," but the bottom line is in a car on a sunny day with launch control you should be pretty damn close to the claimed numbers. That was way off. It's a typical case of over powered engine bolted to a shit chassis.
Paul McGuire Agreed
remember when the expert got 4.7 the car also registered 4.5 AND there was another person in the vehicle..AND they are like 22000 feet above sea level or something. Also the chassis is amazing. extensive R&D work has been done to develop the SRT platform. these cars pull high 3's at sea level.
So much wasted power w/out awd.
is this at 9,000 ft above sea level?
You guys realize the fast lane car is the only channel that gets the slowest 0-60s in every single car, they always get it 1-2 seconds over the real 0-60.
stoopidvideo
My wk2 srt( Cherokee) they were 4.8 and mine stock runs 4.1 all day consistently. These dude's are bad luck for v8 power
I'm sure it can do better than 4 seconds I mean with 707 HP that's what your expecting right? Just saying
Naw it will just burst into flames with your tax dollars
they need to set it to sport mode
What did Ford say to GM?
I don't recall.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
😂😂
707HP and it's not under 3.5s? Come on...
Lol.. You guys have to launch in 2nd gear.. Even then it will devastate tires but 650whp isn't made for launching an 8speed 1st gear.. The manuals launch in 1st but the autos have to launch in 2nd cause the gearing is too low..
It's funny to read all the comments about how slow the car is. Most people commenting have never been on a dragstrip, let alone drive a car with that much hp. Getting 700 hp to stick with just rwd is an artform in itself. I really wanna see a top speed run, the acceleration after 40mph is probably insane.
Take it up to Colorado and make it do 0-60 in 10 seconds!
aha
Absolute power corrupts absolutely. This thing is a show car and nothing more. I'd take a ZL1 or GT500 over this every day.
Needs some stickier tires!!
Remember that TFL get slower times than anyone else does with the cars they test, the Hellcat is no exception, check out the Stingray video, for example.
Running over and over and over without cool down laps the engine is going to be heat soaked like crazy. Such a bad ass car!
That's my car 2016 version hands down. I got to have it period
707 horses yet so slow. Its Dodge, guys. You shouldn't have gotten your hopes so high. All bark and no bite.
The problem here is the tires. 275 rear tires on a 707 horsepower car is asking for traction problems. If this car had the viper rear tires it wold be a different story
The only thing missing from this review was this guys boyfriend in the passenger seat..... lol
This thing really needs some wider rear tires. You can see it hopping sideways during the 1-2 shift. It will be interesting if they put this engine in the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
I think I read somewhere that they actually couldn't fit larger tires without dramatic changes to the rear. As it was, they had to modify the rear fender well to accommodate the 275s they have on there. 😒
Big oversight on the original design if you ask me... then again, there is a smaller amount of rolling resistance between this and, say, a ZL1's rear tires. Not sure if hat makes up for the wheelspin though.
Edit: I'm currently under the belief that the hemmed fenders for the 275s was for the benefit of the *front* wheels. Especially when considering what past Challengers have run in the back, and that Dodge themselves used a 305 drag radial on the stock rims in the back.
275s should be plenty big for the front...
Somebody will figure out a way to do it aftermarket. I had a 99 Mustang GT which was about 260hp, I put 275 width tires on the back and even that could get a little wheelspin. It's not close to enough for this car. I think the ZL1 has around 305 or 315 in the back. That would be a nice improvement, but still even that might not be enough for a good consistent hard launch.
With 411 ft*lbs @1200rpm, I'm inclined to agree with you.
i really hope they make a Hellcat Jeep Grand Cherokee. Idk for sure if they will, but SRT is adding a few more models soon. Dart, Journey, and possibly the Durango I think.
It turns out that the Hellcat is running negative camber on the rears to aid in cornering (and maybe all Challengers do this - I'm not sure).
This is reducing the contact patch of the rear tires during straight-line acceleration - though I'm not sure by how much.
Current speculation is that squaring the rear tires would 'greatly' improve traction for launches. I still believe more rubber would be better as well...the only questions I have is how more rubber and/or 0 camber on the rears would affect handling. Would wider tires offset the camber loss?
Who the fuck would buy an automatic Hellcat?
I would not have...and definitely would not have considered that old 5sp auto - but that 8sp auto is *very* nice and should be strongly considered.
People that think a manual is a better transmission have never ridden in a car with some real hp. A properly set-up auto will crush a manual all day long.
To be fair, some people just enjoy driving a manual better regardless of speed. I enjoy it myself, but this auto is wicked.
You must be riding in some weak ass manual cars. A good driver that knows his shift points can beat an automatic any day. My T-56 transmission would eat autos alive with my kinda of hp. Rethink your statement man.
Even a dual clutch? I rather think not.
I can't wait to get one of these. Will look nice parked next to my ram and charger.
I see a lot of comments below making it seem like it's easy to put 700hp on the ground effectively in a factory car. A friend of mine has a sleeper Mustang 5.0 with the same power as the Hellcat. Since it's street legal, he has normal wheels and tires on it. The whole car looks stock as long as you don't open the hood. He can't go wide open throttle until he hits third gear.
5.0 seconds flat first run in the hellcat? Stock 5.0's or SS's can beat that easily
Why is this guy out of breath from driving a car?
John Klitsko He seems to have that issue in a few of his reviews...Guy needs to relax a bit and stop holding his breath when the foot goes down.
+John Klitsko White knuckles lol..hes having a good time do you blame him? Looks like a blast.
Hahahahahahahaha
The engine. The display. This car is just too nice.
It is tuff to imagine how much better conditions would have to be to gain over one second.
why such heavy breathing from just sitting down
Those guys are a joke at driving... Man be serious here some ppl actually look at your videos to make a decision on buying the car I seen videos of stock hellcat doing 3.5s 0 - 60
So it basically has the same 0-60 as the SRT Grand Cherokee since a lot of people get 4.6 - 4.8 in that.
And mustangs camaros... ect.. lol but worse mpg.. Hellcat Hell nooo. Lol 😆 🤣
Plus, I've sen the testing of this beast. A lot of lesser vehicles will beat it on the street from 0-80 mph. It also heatsoaks bad at anything above 65 degrees F.
if you see the z06 c7 on TH-cam is 3.0 sec flat 0-60 watch the video.some people say the hellcat can beat the z06 but that is stupid.
+Jimmy Tapia is it stock if not then u have literally no clue what your saying
+TheBigGuy3380 what year and how much hp what edition and could u send a link
+NeedForLeague Chirp chirp....
+Lovethempeas someone salty fam
NeedForLeague I don't understand what you said, but I was commenting about the lack of proof from thelittleguy3380
Drive straight to the tire shop and get street legal Hoosiers put on the rear and the new NOS set up for this car. Done!! Let's go racing. :o)
I like the way you think.
ChiTownRuler023 Ever notice they never tell you 1/4 mile times on that show "Street Outlaws". The fastest cars always have a crate engine, blower or turbos, NOS and drag slicks. This Hellcat is going to be sick with the right setup!!! :o)
Jerome Burrasca on "Street Outlaws" they do 1/8 of mile.
Dad has a friend that owns a ZR-1 and used to own an 1100hp grand national with a retired mid 80 winston cup V6 turbocharged block in it. (Yes he removed the carbs and went fuel injection to accomplish that)
Anyway he did have the pleasure of driving a Hellcat Charger down i-94 heading east out of Detroit. He said it is so much faster than his ZR-1 its not even funny.
I'd probably take that man's opinion over the 11 year old bench racer.
The point is exactly what was said at 5:50. Looks like its spinning A LOT and has some decent wheel hop to it... There's a possibility people are going to be complaining about snapped CV joints.
Slow ass car for 700 plus horse power
It weighs almost as much as a truck, what do you expect?
700 hp isn't easy to stick to the pavement, the 40-140 pull is probably insane. Grip is the hardest component in time trials, it's either gonna make or break each time.
bulbinking And why would you throw over 700 horsepower in a truck? I've always hated these cars with a passion because their acceleration does not justify their big ass power numbers. You're throwing in a big ass engine, no shit it's gonna weight a lot. There's a lot of cars with a much better power to weight ratio.
Rizwan Javed
"There's a lot of cars with a much better power to weight ratio."
Thats my point. This is a cheap car that goes fast in a straight line and pretty much nothing else for the people who can afford it (most of american middle aged men who also grew up in muscle car culture) to get an adrenaline rush thinking they have some awesome machine.
bulbinking oh lol, I thought you were defending it. We're on the same track.
This car is slow. 707hp? More like 200hp
Th3TurdBurglar Lol why so butt hurt? It's not like you have one and at 60k it's not all that expensive either. He is saying 200HP by looking at this car's slow ass 0-60 time. I know this car will destroy almost anything on the freeway but this video is just about 0-60 and there are cars with 2.0 turbo that can do 0-60 in under 5 seconds.
Rizwan Javed
The car can do mid 3's. it depends on if you know how to launch.
ToAstYNaChO Yea I agree because the 0-60 times from these guys are always much higher than other reviewers. I know there's the elevation problem and all that so it's not really their fault.
Rizwan Javed I don't think they could get the new Vette under five seconds so they are always a couple seconds above other drivers.
Your fuckin stupid you saw him break traction in sound gear.
I have a Tesla Model S P85. (4650lbs) The manufacturer's power figure is 416hp and I've seen it dyno-tested at 444hp. Anyone can do 0-60 times below 4.5 seconds in it, and I did it in 4.19 the very first time I measured it. There is no launch control, you just stomp the accelerator like you're trying to kill a cockroach. I'd like to see Dodge demonstrating the 0-60 times they're claiming. In fact from now on, I would like all manufacturers to have videos of 0-60 attempts to back up their 0-60 claims. This is a great video, that shows the car can't really do what Dodge is claiming. I think this Dodge car needs all-wheel-drive to make its 700hp more usable by regular owners.
I don't have a Tesla (unfortunately lol) - but a friend of mine has the P85 like yours and has clocked 0-60 in 3.8/3.9 seconds for 0-60. I have read of a number of Model S (P85) owners claiming similar results - using a fully charged battery, that is.
lets not everybody forget that this car runs 10's stock. 0-60 aint gonna be the best, but once she hooks up i bet she'll pull pretty damn hard
I was impressed by this car... Until I saw this:
2014 Porsche 911 GT3 0-60 mph 3.0 Quarter Mile 11.1
With a price tag that's twice as much, I'm sure I could improve the Hellcat tremendously with that kind of budget.
Hellcat 1/4 mi is 10.8, Porsche is lighter and will get the jump but see nothing but this cats tail at the finish line
Who cares about quarter miles? They take little to no skill especially in an auto with launch control... Try facing off against the Porsche at the Nurburgring then come talk to me...
WesSites
Because when you pull up one someone at the light and they want to go, you don't have the Nurburgring in front of you.
Atreid3s Street racing is unsafe, stupid, illegal, and immature. I now see why you care so much about something that takes no skill... You're simply an immature person who can't actually drive and thinks horse power is the be all end all.
Gt500 is faster to 60 for sure.
Love the challenger, but theres so much power to this car it just over spins the tires off the line, the only way you'll reach the 3 second range is if the tires don't over spin. Which will rarely happen. Thats why he's hitting the 5 second range.
Ok dodge let's give you some tips
1:Give it some weight reduction,carbon fiber or something.
2:Give it some wider sticker tires
3:take off all AC and radio like the camaro to save more weight
Then this car will defiantly haul ass.
This is a fast DD not a track car. I'll sacrifice .1 second in the 1/4 for my 8.4 inch touch screen NAV.
I always think this channel is called The Fast Car Lane... that sounds better. lol
I raced a Hellcat driver on a track here in Ohio with my VW Golf R32 HPA twin turbo (to 60), with a time of 3.5 seconds! Beat him side by side in 3 heats! He got out of his car and kicked a dent into the side! LOL!
Guys check 5:40 where he mentioned the time of the car and said it was in the mid 3!! Which is very reasonable compared to the older model with 475hp engine time which was 4.4 sec
Woww...all the hype surrounding this car on Jalopnik had me excited. On Jay Leno's Garage the SRT guy said it does 11's, 10 on slicks in quarter miles.
This is the same issue the Shelby GT500 had...couldn't break 4's with all that power.
4.7 with the SRT track rep driving is pretty sad. Going to need 807hp to compete against a ZL1 or GT500 with that fat assed 4500lb tub.
Nice watch, dude. I've got the same one with a Ti band. Challenger was abysmal as expected.
I hit 4 flat in my 392 inaugural editon..they should be killin that
Chrysler over horsepower vs poor traction continues throughout history. Go Chevy!!!
What people don't understand is, you're buying a car that will beat a Lamborghini at a fraction of the price. SRT recommends if you want to take your hellcat to the track you need to buy wider tires. The car can run a 10.8 second 1/4 mile with slicks.
My 2014 GT Premium convt with Brembo brake package, auto trans, does 4.3-4.8 zero to sixties. That's with a JLT cai, SCT 93 octane tune by Performance Automotive, BBK VariTune axle backs, and Eibach Sportline springs. Typically I get 4.6 sec.
I'm a bit disappointed, I was expecting it to be at least 0.5 seconds faster. Still looks cool and sounds good.
What the hell is that sound at 1:10 . It sounds like the hellcat released some demons.
Nathan, old buddy, you did remember to release the handbrake, didn't you ?????
XD
did he put the RED Key in the car ? That unlocks the 707HP. the BLACK key was made for daily driving the car so it limits the power to about 500 to 550.
This car should come with drag radials stock and preferably wider 305's or 315's.
wow 707 hp doesnt hook up? kinda silly to have that much in a car, i would imagine only a track car. love the show keep it up!!!!!
The 471hp Challenger SRT-8 does 0-60 in 4.2 seconds, on 100% perfect conditions. I have no doubt in my mind that this 707hp Challenger Hellcat will do mid low 3 0-60's in 100% perfect conditions.
Tires might be too hot.. In one of the shots it looks like the tires are leaving a heap molten (not burnt or dry) rubber on the track. Seems probable that all the horsepower on a sunny day might just melt the tires off. But of course, I'm no expert! Such a good sounding machine.
From test I have seen Fifth Gear do using F1 technology they found that the Solo that you guys use can be off by about .5 seconds. So yeah the cars time is probably more accurate. (With that much power I have a hard time believing it has trouble getting into the 4s)
Man that Z07 is going to blow this car and others out the water.
707hp and yet 0-60 isn't better then a 400hp m3. What a shitty car.
I was expecting a J turn at 1:32.
I'd like to see one of your viewers hit 3.5 seconds. As Roman says at 8:25, "We'll leave it up to you guys to show us how it's done."
So on a good day when no one is watching with a test driver on a prepped track it can Maybe hit 0-60mph in mid 3 sec. Maybe
for a very heavy car it's pretty good.
I put DR's on my HC and run 3.3. So moral of the story, Drivermod+Tires=Win
Great video and I love this car. Got to drive one on a track and it was great fun.
5 seconds 0 to 60 in a car with over 700 HP....pitiful, just pitiful Dodge.
An Accord V6 is faster with 278HP.
I don't get why they don't have much wider wheels if traction is an issue and it's only RWD.
As cool of a car as this thing is, in 1987 Buick was pooping out 4.3 second 0-60 runs from a 231ci V6! I miss my Grand National :-(
for all those people whining how 707hp/650ft-lbs cant go faster then 4.7. there is more to it then just sheer power guys. its having difficulties because of traction issues, the tires just are not wide enough for it. 275's are what I put on the back of my V6 jeep. this thing needs a 305 or wider tire. my second point is weight, this thing weight as much as my jeep (4260lbs) as we all know, weight hurts acceleration. and lastly, looks who's driving it, someone who spends most of there time reviewing econo-boxes and family cars.
It needs more tire with that kind of power, and the times would be much better. It could run 10s with slicks. I'm not a Dodge fan but that thing is a beast.
how come motor trend can get it in 3.5 seconds but you guys can't like seriously
Are you kidding me? Airbag warning on a brand new car that has been supposedly honed to perfection and is the pride of Dodge?! I'm just dumbstruck at how badly these cars are actually built.
I will hold on my 2012 911 turbo s , i will go running and embrace my porsche 2.9 0-60 king!
lol!!!!! this thing fell flat on its ass lol!!!!!!! great job guys!!!!! real word testing for the win.
What about 2nd gear start?
Motortrend says that the trick is to launch it in 2nd gear and then switch to automatic once it hooks up
The solution is simple: it needs the tires from the Z-28 (310 section pirelli P-ZERO Trofeo) These cars leave the factory with 275/40ZR20 All Season Performance Tires that are undersized and ill-suited for the power this car produces. This ought to have Viper tires (345 section)
This video just speaks volume why the Hellcat isn't all that great in controlling the power to get a good grip. Any grandma can get to 60mph in about 2.5 seconds in a Tesla Model S P100D every time because of much superior automatic torque management.
You should turn the traction control off and use the paddle shifters to get the best time
I'll bet that he feels like hulk being unleashed
Something wrong here. This thing is listed at 3.5 seconds 0-60.
Maybe they had it in the wrong power mode. It has three power modes 700, 5xx and 3xx i think
I had a very hard time believing the original numbers from Dodge, in the first place. I have used Pirelli PZeros before (the ones I used were 285s, unlike the 275s on this one) and they aren't that great at hooking up. I can imagine how hard it is getting them to hook with that much power.
I will say that I'll really be impressed when it keeps up with its competitors in the twisties.
How is Nathan breathing so hard from just getting in the car?
These guys usually do videos at high altitude right?
It bothers me when the camera lens is dirty and I can't do anything about it.
Why do you have the bigger tires in the front?
Wait is it a front wheel drive?
Are you kidding me? How bad are you guys. You gotta feather the throttle and warm up the tires. I have gotten a best 4.3 out of my SRT charger
I think Dodge has to step up to the plate and prove the alleged mid 3s timing with a video!!!!
conquryourfear The advertised 0-60 was done, completely stock. With drag radials, Dodge got it to 2.9 seconds. Insanely fast car.
Motor Trend claims they ran a 3.7s 0-60 time with the 8-speed auto on the stock tires on asphalt (a non-prepped surface) by starting in 2nd gear (and rolling on the power).
I believe the differential gearing for the auto is something like 2.6 already, but if 1st gear is actually worthless for anything but burnouts, then perhaps an even taller rear gear would be a good idea? Might even improve highway fuel economy a good deal.
Just not sure why people have to hate one car because it's not their style? I'm not into the fast "rice" burners but doesn't mean I think less of the people that do like them and drive them. I like this car, it's looks, it's sound, it's get up and go. Are there other cars that will beat it at the track and/or drag strip, absolutely, doesn't mean I won't be happy as hell driving this car.
To each their own, no need to bash others decisions to buy this or that or whatever.
I drove a Toyota Tundra with factory racing suspension and factory charged engine package installed and got 0-60 in 4.4 seconds. Faster and cheaper than the Hellcat.
the fast lane car driver had no idea how to get that car off the line.
