Dodge Hellcat-Viper-Hellcat Thrash Battle! - Roadkill Ep. 38
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ธ.ค. 2024
- Roadkill is now powered by Dodge! To kick off the sponsorship, Finnegan and Freiburger called for some brand new 2015 supercars: the 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and Charger SRT Hellcat, plus a 645-horsepower Dodge Viper GT. Why? For an epic thrash, of course! This video has more tire smoke than you've ever seen from these cars, plus a big, irresponsible surprise at a motocross track. There are guest spots from Carlos Lago from Motor Trend, Fred Williams from Dirt Every Day, and pro drifter Tony Angelo. None of these guys should have been handed the keys. And by the way, we used the Hellcat red keys the whole time.
Roadkill appears on the Motor Trend channel. / motortrend

This is why I love roadkill. They get a big corporate sponsor, and drive their cars like it's a $500 beater challenge. Anyone who says this is "selling out" is just out of their mind
How do you feel about it today Taylor? The loft is cool, but I'm not really sure it's purpose. I get the podcast area, but is the sim rig going to be used much you think?
The Hellcats were the shiny new toys when this came out. But looking back on it, God I miss that Viper.
Same
The viper did 202mph stock
If they made a base model/high trim model/ ultimate model viper like chevy did with the corvettes they could have had 1 viper with a aluminum block 392 hemi, one with the V10, and one with a hellcat engine maybe, i bet they would have sold a good amount but then it wouldnt make it a "exotic" car anymore i guess.
@@Garf2O Hemis don't fit between the shock towers of Vipers. I guess they could have MADE it fit by changing the suspension geometry or something. But I don't think they could ever have gotten it competitive with base Corvette pricing. No one else has managed to create enough volume to replicate what the Corvette does.
But, maybe by offering some V8 automatic version they could have gotten enough old guys who want to "cruise" with the wife to get in the ballpark. But everyone involved with the Viper pretty well agreed, any car that appeals to that guy isn't a Viper.
Yeah me too. I don’t know why they did the ultimate off-road muscle car challenge when it’s obviously an orange 69 charger…
Roadkill just strapped 2,059hp together....and NOBODY thought it was a bad idea.
Bro its mint.
Erik Hose Its MAAAAAAAAAAAD
OPHeckler Mighty Car Mods is cool, but the whole saying "MAD" every two fucking seconds is lame as fuck, they need a new word.
No its 2121hp
Dubbelgamer06 707 + 707 + 645 != 2121. Viper doesn't make 707 like the other two
These guys officially have the best jobs on the planet.
Lightly used Viper and hellcats available at your local dodge dealer
“lightly driven”
Quiet possibly the best advertisement I've ever watched. This was great.
Oh hellll yea best freaking advertising for how tough they are .... 2 thumbs up for dodge for letting them beat the snot out of them
troybballin14 quite* :)
yj gjk yeah i noticed after i posted but didnt wanna edit.
***** 2015 911 GT3 or a LFA Nurb package
***** YES it is a beauty. the Viper is a great car but That LFA is something more.
That is the first dog I've seen that actually looks out the front windshield intently as if to be paying attention to the road. "Roadkill Dog" knows what's up!
mike cabela my dog does that, looking out the front while standing on the front console. Coincidentally his name is Hemi. 😜
Probably because if he doesnt he wont be ready and get shitwhipped into the door or dash
Finally they’ve brought some of the TH-cam videos back!
I can’t believe I’m just noticing this after I’ve seen this episode like how many times but Freiburger is using a ratchet strap as a dog leash 😂
"Because Roadkill."
Literally have been checking TH-cam every 5 mins for this!!!
me too. Saturday 10amNew Zealand
now i can stop watching old eps. ... for now

Jake Elliott true words spoken.
If dodge puts a hellcat motor in the ram, they need to call it the hellhound
IKR 😂
that would be so badass
+Kpoole35™ I know right?
Dude! That actually is a billion dollar idea! Holy crap!

I saw this and had to come back for this comment thread. Because 'Future Roadkill'.
Someone at Dodge just lost a job.
+jmcd1313 2.8mil voluntary views of product and counting, someone got promoted
+dingdingdingdiiiiing they first got fired and now re hired and promoted
+Cody Ogden Premoted? Promoted before the fact?
+Cody Ogden Thank you for going to google+ and correcting your error. You also changed this reply because as harsh as it is here it's four times as bad on my notifications. You have a foul mouth and need to have a bowl of poop stuffed in it.
Isn't it great that you can edit your posts? It makes you look less stupid to the general public, but MORE STUPID to others like me when we have copies of what you originally wrote. It's ok, though. I won't share your secret. Nobody will never know you can't spell and that you have turrets syndrome.
+Cody Ogden Spellcheck autocorrect can also make some of your correct words become a different word or even a wrong spelling. especially if you accidentally misspell the word the first time, and that spelling goes into the autocorrect dictionary. Then you're screwed, cursed to check that word EVERY TIME you spell it.
I agree.
But... the e and the o are on different sides of the keyboard.
And, I use a desktop, two laptops, a tablet, four smartphones and a voice prompt phone.
All you have to do is just say, "hey I screwed up. I meant promoted not premoted." Instead of all this, excuses and emotional outpourings of anger and personal embarrassment. Believe me when I tell you, youngun, from YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, you are much better off laughing off a mistake of your own instead of trying to cover for it. You'll live MUCH longer with less stress in your life.
You want to know another way (or three) to reduce stress in your life? Go fishing. Go bicycle riding. Play musical instruments.
I'm saying all this to help you with your anger disorder. Set it right now and you won't be a serial killer when you get older.
Thank you Dodge for making this epic episode possible. Great episode.
Tire smoke, fun times and DOG!! Finally back on track guys! Keep it up, also muscle truck is looking killer.
I’m just now realizing back in 2015 dodge didn’t put a ugly bumper guard on it 🫡
nah i like ir especially on the jeeps
No they were just removed at the dealership like they were meant to be. Until some guy who used to leave the stickers on his flat bill hats then got his hands on a new hellcat just as it was delivered and when the dealership went to remove the bumper guards he said "nah fam, that's fresh. Leave them on bro"
The noise that pickup truck makes is well amazing. If I heard that coming down the street I would be like "OH NO IT'S A GANG OF BIKERS... WITH NASCARS AND MUSTANGS... AND A VOLCANO" but then I'd see the truck and be like " oh that's intimidating" lol
Also... DAT hellcat noise too
To everyone: These 3 cars are manufacture development cars, after a year or so, all 3 of them will be crushed and made into a SRT washing machine. So thats why Dodge and SRT dosent give a crap how they treated the cars, they just got 39 minutes of advertisement of their 3 flagship cars for sale right now. Ive been watching roadkill since episode 2 was out and as a die hard fan of dodge and mopar i cant believe how far and well roadkill has come. sweet video guys, maybe jeremy clarkson will make an appearance since he has alot of free time now :)
Dodge Neon Hellcat? Caravan Hellcat? Ram Hellcat? Ram Promaster Hellcat? Durango Hellcat? HELLCAT ALL THE DODGE'S!!
+xCkillaxC My 13 Dart needs to be Hellcat'd
+Lou McGopher lmao 700hp and would still get 13sec 1/4
xCkillaxC But I'd leave a lot of smoke, and that's all that matters
Lou McGopher Haha true
omg i need dodge neon srt hellcat !!
whenever i see a dodge with a V6 engine, instead of calling it a hellcat, i call it a housecat lmfao
lol!
At least they have V6 engines! In Germany 99% of the people drive Inline 4, so boring!
Carl Stallins And how does that change that boring sound? (if there even is any sound...)
Get a quadruple turbo
+Björn Straight pipe bro
They took Paul, Top Gear and Gramps
BUT THEY WILL NEVER TAKE AWAY ROADKILL!!!
I know it's a meme sorry
SILeNt xD We have to believe that Gramps WILL be back... STAY STRONG BROTHERS
Gramps will live, and top gear's funny challenges might come back on Netflix.
cozmium They will Re-shell him........yet again.
SILeNt xD Omg gramps
wereboarder2009 why would he need to be reshell'd? its his electricals that are a fudged
Yay, new episode! I can only hope that Dodge allows Roadkill to still use their other cars :P
Needs more dog
Mufti Hossain ...and cowbell
slider2732 I gotta have more cowbell
IKR. That dawg knows where it's at.
Vladimir Putin OK, props for that one.
You do you, Vlad.
Mufti Hossain the bounty hunter?
Who looks at a Viper and think "Man, what a rally car"?
Freinegan and Finburger do.
should raise them put dirt tyres on and make it like a mad max car 😂
Manuel Medina I look at a Dodge Challenger and I'm like why can't it be 4WD/AWD??? Lol
Manuel Medina Lol
+Casual Gamer And the solution to that is to put a 2jz quad turbo engine into a 4x4 offroader
Manuel Medina who else read Freiburger and Finnegan?
All 3 cars will be on Craigslist momentarily
Lol
Chicken Soup "Never driven hard, Taken care of by owner"
OddFellow Jack "Old lady owner, Highway miles"
OddFellow Jack Adult driven never raced!
Chicken Soup driven by Carlos, Fred, Finnegan and Freiburger "price goes up" as seen on roadkill "price plummets"
That dirt section was so hard to watch.
Looked fun!
David Freiburger David Frieburger!!! I love roadkill!!!! Greetings from Idaho!!!
+David Frieburger sir this is why I watch roadkill over n over again..really fun to watch..greetings from Indonesia..
Kenny Patchett But let's face it, given the chance, you'd totally do that
Jesus Christ I would with the charger and the challenger. There's no way I would in the viper. It's been my dream car since I was 12.
BOOM! Genius idea! WHAT YOU HAVE JUST WITNESSED IS EPISODE 1 OF THE NEW AMERICAN TOPGEAR. What do you all say???
Oh yeah!!
Wes Combs I don't mind that, that actually felt a bit like Top Gear to me.
Wes Combs do not compare my bros here with top gear they fix the shit they thrash. keep it up roadkill been watching you guys awile now.
outspokengore2 episode 38 as well
John Moose Uk top gear is no longer thing haha.
charger=best sedan ever
Challenger= Best muscle car ever
viper best sport car ever
Viper = best rally car ever
Mack Mcallister alfa romeo guilia- best sedan ever
Audi rs7 better
I'm struggling to understand how people disliked this video. It's fucking awesome. I'm not a big muscle car guy, but boy, have I laughed my ears of!
Prius drivers getting upset...
De Prins Van Mokum It's the Dodge employees that got fired who decided to grant the sponsorship.
De Prins Van Mokum Downvotes = kids. Its an analytical fact (kids, =21 and under)
Or the Europeans that swear up and down that all American cars are awful.
idh0530
Its kids, regardless of origin. They play video games, if said car cant go around a corner at 200MPH without hitting the wall its "an ill handling POS" As I said, analytical fact..MT should know this, they have access to channel analytics
A hellcat engine would look mighty fine in the gremlin xD
Josh Romain I really want them to do that
Josh Romain take my upvote! well deserved xD
each of these cars now available at your local Carmax!
This group is better than the US Top Gear. lol
+Casey Robidoux haha, so I've heard. Season One at least.
so much better
US Top Gear is painful to watch. Clarkson, May and Hammond have set the bar too high for them. Clarkson is pure genius
hell ya
Way better than uk top gear even us is better than uk it just don't make sense (uk)
If they don't get a hellcat engine for one of their cars out of this sponsorship, ill be really disappointed. Mayhem needs a hellcat!
J Burner I think they are gonna do it.
Yea I read that's on the agenda for the mayhem to get a hellcat power train.
Kaminsky That would be cool.
J Burner Dodge will take one look at what they did to those cars, and say use that powertrain VS us giving you a new one
J Burner nope the rotson need that lol
22:13, how fun!
I found myself laughing hysterically more than wondering "why do this". I have a better opinion of Mopar now.
You can't watch this whitout cracking a smile.. :D
DoomDriver32 Mhm. Agreed c;
Engineering Explained thanks
The challenger will always win against most cars in tug of war
Whoa, what's up with the tease at the end? What car are you putting the hellcat into?.
esqueue they are putting it in general mayhem
esqueue put it in the gremlin!
esqueue id like to see it in the junkyard 50's gmc
GENERAL MAYHEM ! ! !
esqueue How about giving it to me?
id love to see a hellcat durango
That would be super sick
lol same
Hellcat Cherokee
Needs to be Hellcat XJ cherokee though!
Heck yeah
7 years ago wow how time flies since the last time I watched this EXACT VIDEO 😢😂
But to be honest it doesn't feel like a 7 year old video at all. It still looks and feels very 2023
10 bucks they will not be sponsored by dodge in the next episode anymore.
vivalaphill Don't see why not, they showed what 700hp does to tires. You only buy a Hellcat or Viper to do one of two things anyway, go really fast in a straight line or annihilate tires. If anything its Pirelli that wouldn't want their stuff shown anymore as that was the only component that failed in the video.
sylumgand in what way did the pirellis fail? if you abuse tires like that any tire will surrender.
vivalaphill
My point being the only thing that failed repeatedly were the tires, not the cars.
sylumgand i know, but was it really failure? isn´t failure when something breaks that shouldn´t/ you don´t expect to fail.
vivalaphill
I guess i'd expect more out of a $250 tire. But my original point is why would Dodge not like publicity like this. They beat the hell outta these cars in ways owners never would and they took it, except the tires. I mean what owner in their right mind would even take a Viper on a dirt road, let alone a dirt track. Besides the people at Dodge probably knew that Roadkill would do this, except for maybe taking them on a dirt track.
dam guys you have the best job ever
The thing that shocks me and makes me sad was this was 7 years ago we all getting old
damn it, just roll those windows up
Even a small burnout fills the cabin from smoke. Many places from the cowl, vents etc... Just build quality too... Had to have windows down to get fresh air.
what about off road driving, there isn't any burnout smoke, only dust and wouldn't it be better to use air circulation?
Elvin Novruzov I was thinking that !!!!
because Roadkill...
Elvin Novruzov What? And get the windows dirty? You animal!
Just one question, why leave the windows down while on the dirt track? I mean isn't cleaning the exterior going to be enough work?!
Well its a dodge it looks good dirty and clean
+kevin O Vipers don't have air conditioning.
legacyshooter but still, I just see the viper as something to take care of and not put it on a dirt track etc. But if Dodge let them use and abuse it knowing full well it could be ruined, I just might do the same thing!
+kevin O considering the Viper suffered zero damage in the dirt compared to the Hellcats, I'd save up for the Viper.
because Roadkill.
I think that most people here don´t get that dodge didn´t let them destroy the cars. I doubt that any of these have any serious mechanical damage. Dodge will take the cars, wash and polish them, throw on new plastic bumbers and maybe some little suspension things and they will be good as new and ready to be given to the next car magazine to test.
Keine Namen or maybe those cars were just defective or smth like that? Maybe the computers were fucked and it was too expensive to fix 'em so they just let roadkill kill them as they were heading to the junkyard anyway?
LPPL123 It's also possible they're test mules and headed for the shredder anyway.
Keine Namen
Selbst wenn, es sind nur Testwagen und je härter sie rangenommen werden desto höher ist die Warscheinlichkeit, dass Fehler aufgedeckt werden die bei normalem Gebrauch nicht oder zu spät entdeckt werden würden.
Rob Roche
Im shure that they are test mules but i don´t think that they will head for the shredder. There are a lot of people who would still buy them and for the dodge people themselfs it´s not a big deal just repleacing minor things on them
Pre production cars are often scrapped for liability reasons. It's a shame, but that's the way things are. Look at all the vipers Chrysler Corp shredded a few years ago. All test cars or pre production. Now if a hellcat engine "got lost" and ended up in the General Mayhem? That would be cool :)
This is animal abuse.. poor Hellcats...
And ESPECIALLY Poor Dog.
drkstr7 A Viper is an animal too
drkstr7 poor viper
They are in their natural environment
Wtf am I watching, the main guy is in camo shorts and flip flops....
+Brent Zittel Florida. You're watching Florida.
Your watching road kill
+Brent Zittel The people who judge a guy by what he is wearing...
Your watching roadkill
+Brent Zittel roadkill brother, roadkill
Yeah seeing the Hellcat on Dirt hurt my soul it just felt weird 😠
Kevyn Thomas Whenever they hit one of those dirt berms, I died a little inside
Its putting the car to work but the berms were a little too much
Kevyn Thomas A little dirt never hurt.
***** its a mass produced car get over it. You could say doing that to the general mayham is far worse as its an actual rare shell.. Though i wont complain cough cough
Oh get over it, this was the most amazing thing I've ever seen! I love that they take them off road, I've been waiting for some modern off-road muscle car action, this was great!!
It was at that moment Dodge knew they fucked up
+Pepe The Frog LMFAO!!!!
debt confirmed
h&0
No longer
*tips le autism.
ha ha!
28:14 RIP Cameraman on the left lolololol
MCHFacts who drid why did it say rip at the end
Luis Munoz-Saucedo Alberto the cameraman didn’t really die dude, and the RIP at the end was one of the people that played a cop in the dukes of hazzard
The Madhouse Channel oh ok thanks
Luis Munoz-Saucedo Alberto no worrys
Let's all be honest here
We all want a Dodge Grand Caravan hellcat
Not me
Definitely hellyeah
I would love that. I wonder if anyone Hemi swapped a Toyota Previa.
We need this, thats the kind of swaps id do with my father
Absolutely, throw a bed in the back of that bad boy and your set for life.
You guys should put the hellcat engine in that 1950s GMC Truck truck you found in the junkyard, that would be sick!
Booo! lol
My hats off to you guys!!! That tug-of-war with Dezmine Chrysler Machines is the first on screen! This is single-handedly the best episode I have ever seen on TH-cam! If anyone disagrees please tell me why? Loved it!!
Love the Chinese safety boots Frieburger, nearly every episode, gold....
dodge and roadkill you're the best
Wrangler with the Hellcat engine. Do it, Chrysler.
Somebody get this man a job..
ChadWorthingham I have a better idea, lets put the Hellcat engine in the smallest Dodge car on sale right now.
DART! That's just wrong but so right
***** oh shit.
They do grand Cherokee hellcat trail cat
31:38 Freiburger- I CANT SEE! - *goes full throttle*
I get so excited when i see these, i was doing something and saw this update, literally ran to my computer!!
They should ask Dodge for an Hellcat motor to stuff into the 68 Charger
I wonder why they don't close the windows so smoke and sand doesn't get into the car.
1.not there cars
2. Probably hot
3.they are trying to trash then haha
Probably waht he said but also just incase of an accident and they cant get the door open, they could yank them out...
***** because roadkill
***** I guess they like dirt in their face more than cold air?
***** for fresh air
These are reasons you do not buy a used car. "Used only one driver and 8 sets of tires!"
Todd Ison buy certified pre-owned
noctanol you don't get the joke do you?
thanks dodge
JayTee RC iiiiii
JayTee RC ii
I CANNOT believe they were allowed to destroy those cars!!!!!!!! If you don't want em I have a need for at least two of em. And holy hell they sound insane, real glad factory has been able to get that sound out of stock exhaust systems nowadays.
Trust me with these American cars. They're not that hard to fix back up.
A couple of new bumpers, a VERY thorough car wash, check the brakes and bam. Back to showroom condition.
Still impressive how small damage these cars got
If it was a Mercedes i'm pretty sure it would've shattered into pieces
|〉Mr. TARIQ 〈| The challenger and charger are on a Mercedes platform.
Kevin Smith That German engineering, no one can deny.
J. Scaffnetti Pre-production vehicles. After all of the promotion is complete, Chrysler will will crush them anyway!These are NOT production cars, have no VIN number and cannot be registered to a new owner.
I see no problem with thrashing performance vehicles, isn't that what they're made for?
Nineteen-Eighty two Rampage
YESSS! Mopar is back and sponsoring my absolute favorite Mutt and Jeff of Hot Rod shows... I had a 63 slant six Dart, 67 318 Dart, 68 New Yorker, 69 Charger RT/SE 440Magnum, 70 Challenger 383 6pack 4speed, 76 Fury, 77 Imperial, 89 Ram, all under my belt. Now want to go back in time to '69 after seeing yer Charger buildup!!! In love with that car. Thanks for doing crazy shit like I used to do!!!!
Awesome, but a little painful too. I would still take any or all of them home, even after the thrashing.
cameron humphries just like the scat pack challenger that gmg had. Still a little painful to watch, but cool none the less.
and this marks the beginning and end of dodge sponsoring roadkill
Really miss the old roadkill content
I am a true JDM fan to the bone, but Dodge has come such a long way. The entire line-up demand respect down to the newly designed Durango which might be one of the best looking SUV.
The Viper is awesome. Sad to see it go next year
Colin Dowd ?
Eric G i’m pretty sure there discontinuing it
They are taking the Viper away because the Hellcat and Demon models are replacing it. Doesn't mean I'm still not sad to see it go.
Dodge has the coolest cars, sorry ford and chevy
Don't sorry
Thuis is The real buddy
Is it OK if I like Dodge and Ford? I've loved them since 7. I'm 13
+Niko Bellic it's fine but you have to love dodge more than ford
+Abdulhai “GaMeS7SuFFer” Redwan opinions
Yeah but Ford trucks are better. Plus I would take a new GT over a hellcat.
Seeing the Dodge Challenger pulling the other 2 cars made me really happy because I have one :P
Me too bro. I plan on having one next year
You sure do Roblox master
then the charger pulled both sooooo
+MisterRageQuit It's all good because my mom has a charger hell cat my dad has the challanger hellcat
Video or it didn't happen kid lol
Dodge should take the 8.4l v10 from the Viper, supercharge it, then cram it in an AWD Charger or Challenger.
Zachary Martin they’re already heavy enough
@@bloodred9857
An upgraded Chassis/Platform can help a lot with the weight. So, maybe they could make it happen.
thats a 2014 viper TA
Im a generally a Chevy guy but this makes me want a viper
same
profile picture checks out
Lol
im a Nissan guy but this makes me want a challanger
I don't like the charger because u can't listen music while in it
iPhone joke
I get it iPhone 7
dat "show more" reveal tho'
I.C.B.M when my iPhone 5 which is getting a new battery dies, in moving to android
I.C.B.M a
I.C.B.M you don't need music with a v8, it comes with its own soundtrack 😂
Will these be sold as Lancia in Europe?
Vanila Kung thats taking the piss :)
Vanila Kung Sadly there is no market for American cars in Europe. Chevrolet is gone, Dodge is gone, Chrysler is gone....pretty sure Ford won't last here too with its Mustang. There are too many great German cars here, it's hard to compete.
*****
still american.
***** Europe is getting the 5.0 V8 and the 2.3 turbo four. They also don't come out till the Summer anyway
Mustangs sold in Britain will still be produced in the States and shipped over always incurring over the top EU and UK tax unfortunately. Boooooooo
The ending should have shown you guys bringing back the cars. Haha. Love this episode cause the sponser gives you 3 cars and you take full advantage! I wouldn't have wanted to drive the viper, just feels wrong to thrash it offroad
Was anyone else refreshing the videos page waiting for this to come up?
3 days later, "slightly used hellcat for sale. Never track, always babied."
That charger has its old roots
not twin screw?
Gilson Wilson what
+Jjmoose I thought you was talking about the supercharger
Gilson Wilson no I was talking about the charger
It has it's old roots, but other than the engine, it got turned into a family car. The 69 Charger is my favorite muscle car of all time, but the new one just looks stupid.
man doing silly stuff in cars with friends is the best thing ever
Benjamin Ang Jian Seng I would love to have their jobs.
That was the best thing I've seen ever....

Duh shit.

+Nick Radloff Who knew Roadkill Dog drank that much?
"fred, this is a 90 thousand dollar car", 10 years later thats what a 1/2 ton truck costs................
I was looking at a couple different cars on the net , that might replace my 2006 Linc. Towncar. Except for the age, it has been the best car I have ever owned. Jag, coupe or sedan. Cadillac CT6. Linc. Continental 2 door or 4. But after watching this 'LITTLE' battle of '? '... I think I should rethink my selection of vehicles, and take a drive over to the Dodge Dealership and check out their stock. Very impressive beating, and still looking relatively free of damage and sounding as if never being red line to where the valves were flooting to the point of kissing the tops of the pistons, the amount of dirt that was inhaled throw the open air port in the grill that feeding the superchargers. And , no plugged air filters. Superchargers are extremely sensitive to temp., dirt, rocks, lack of lubricant (due to dirt). why those engines didn't freeze up from heat ? Viper is known for it's cooling problems, and Hellcat's designers ran through all kinds of hoops to control the heating problems . What you have done for the Chrysler Dodge Company, the could buy five of each of those cars. This advertising was a brain storm. Kudos to who though of this episode. I am going to my Dodge Dealership in a couple hours when they open to look at one of these cars. And will show them this video. Then to my buddies to show them. etc. United States of America . We did it then. And were still doing now . thanks guys. dan t. Palm Springs, Calif. U.S.A.
I kinda miss the 'old' Roadkill episode style: The Draguar type builds, the long road trips in old hacks, the Cheap Truck challange, ect.
I know Dodge is the new sponsor and all, but I feel that this episode was one looooong (and a bit boring) commercial for the top-of-the-line Dodge products.
Best. Day. At work. EVER!
Am I the only one that would still rather have the muscle truck?
bugattirocksful Roger that!
bugattirocksful Yes.
bugattirocksful Sign me up for that too.
bugattirocksful the muscle truck is flat out cool....i'd love it but you could sell any of the three and have 2 or 3 muscle trucks....
bugattirocksful I was thinking the same thing, I love that truck
This is the most irresponsibly ridiculous thing I've ever seen, and I love it! This was awesome!
this time on Third Top Gear........ LOL
ASRA177 LOL yeah they have sunk that low this time for sure!
nobody can ever be top gear cool >.>
ASRA177 Watching this you forget top gear existed
And on that bombshell!
Trikster1of4 Good Night I'm going to miss top gear
I wanted to,cry when the viper went round the dirt track 😖
Me too I cringed I was silently screaming "nooooooooooooooo"😱
Yeah that was hard to watch. The dirt part.
Even though it looked better than the Hellcats? Pssh, I've been in the passenger seat of a 911 GT2 as the driver went "Hey, wanna see how a $200,000+ 911 looks going offroad?", beyond fun, but the pucker factor was in effect, I will say. Being in that Porsche as it ate piles of dirt and weeds and grass was a bit terrifying.
agreed
Lol
We aren't supposed to have new, reliable cars on Roadkill! Just kidding. Maybe.
HAHA. Reliable to Roadkill standard.
***** i'm surprised the viper didnt break in half xD + they trashed loads of tyres at that airstrip, thats a lot of punishment too :D
***** you expect a viper to break down? Its built to handle twice the power that it makes from the factory. They don't break.
cad5359 All cars are reliable if you do the proper maintenance.
Eric M Planned failure of parts, like a timing belt is only made to last 60k miles, and a starter 350.
I don't know how I missed this epic episode... So much fun!
Drive it like you stole it? This episode reminds me of classic Top Gear back before it turned mainstream. Real humour and real camaraderie!
Just wondering why they drive on a dirt track with windows open?
lanseri because Roadkill
Cause roadkill
lanseri when did UK Top Gear deviate from that cammaraderie format?
daz samuels Um, last week, on Sunday? Unless you believe that Stig going around the track solo proves that the camaraderie still exists?
Top Gear never 'turned mainstream'.It's over or will soon be.
Why did they have the windows down?
Wow! A reply by no one else but the man himself! And that was a fast reply. Anyways, ok. Thanks!
David Freiburger I wondered that too! This was by far my favorite episode yet! THANK YOU MOTORTREND AND DODGE!!
David Freiburger nah, its for a lovely blend of hot exhaust, hot brakes, and most of all, hot rubber :D
David Freiburger Chicks.
Because roadkill!
''If you ever see a viper, and you want to screw with the owner pull this lever''
4 years later and I still can’t get over the intro 😭😂
i love how the dog just vibing. XD
Out of the 3 I'd definitely take the Viper.. There's ECU tunes coming out now that boost the power by a lot, and it's an actual sports car
Plus it's got a v10 which is bad ass
The displacement in that engine holds potential for MASSIVE power.. Would be cool to see how much power it could produce
V8 motors have more torque around the low end so they are quicker but I have always been fascinated by that viper v10. I don't think I would be able to choose one or the other lol.
Dee Jay These engines are pretty much bulletproof, it's like they were MEANT to be upgraded.
Jonka Olofsson Think the most powerful one at the moment is a twin turbo one with 1100 whp
Dee Jay i would take the challenger
Now lets see Chevrolet awnser back with the keys to a Z06 Corvette, ZL1 Camaro, and the SS Sedan and do the same thing... Not likely to happen. Dodge must really be getting desperate for advertising or really just trying to show how durable these cars are. I doubt any car company in their right mind would allow this normally.
Chris Servoss Or maybe because Dodge is on a roll with the hellcat branding that GM wishes it can compete. the only thing Chevy has is the Coupes. the SS is practically DOA its not worth mentioning, hell it wasn't even at NAIAS displayed.
Chris Servoss Really desperate for advertising??They had to put a hold on hellcats because they couldnt make them fast enough to meet demand.
You literally could not be more wrong, except for maybe with the poor viper.. I wish that thing sold well.
Juan Galvis the thing is, it does, they produce about 70 vipers a month and sell about 60 +
Incoming dodge dickriders
Chris Servoss if i remember it right, Dodge is the official sponsor of road kill now
This was amazing. I wasn't bored for a minute!
