That guy was pushing the "dial it back" thing way too much. They should offer models without that feature and some of the other luxury things. that would lighten up the car a little bit and could make it more affordable. Overall doesn't look bad. Would drive.

Amazing video, amazing car. I would definitely buy one of those.

However, 4400lbs at 707hp hellcat vs 3800lbs at 662 hp gt500.. on paper the gt500 should be easily quicker... that transmission and gearing must really be very efficient.

that was a great video!!!!! I love all of Jay's videos and this one was no different. Dodge has knocked it outta the park with this car. this car is going to sound intoxicating with an exhaust!

Sometimes Jay sounds like he has no clue. Like when he talks about the supercharger sucking air.
You're with the CEO, ask about the pizzacutter rear tires! Oh just because it has more power than a Aventador doesn't its a worthy comparison.

I heard the Hellcat in race mode the other day on the road, I could hear the auto trans bang through the gears. I fell in love.

awesome. that thing sounds insane for a stock car. and that touchscreen setup and customizable gauge display is pretty cool too.

Amazing piece of engineering work, I'd drive it.
Looking forward to seeing some posts in the road kill section to see how the Blue Oval is gonna stand up to these.

Great vid. I am very interested in picking one up. I want to wait a little while for them to hit the streets to see what problems they may have. The ZL1 was overhyped and promised the world but fell on its face. I hope this car exceeds expectations. It is absolutely beautiful.

Good video, I always have enjoyed Jays Youtube videos and it was nice hearing his thoughts on the car. I like the hellcat alot but I still don't think I would get ride of my Shelby for one

nice and would love one - but please Pres. and CEO, don't try to sell us on the size and weight as a good thing.
