The guy in the Charger just cracks me up. ”Now let’s roll race because that’ll change nothing” 😂 The guy’s reaction is awesome.

Ehhh…I’d still rather drive the Dodge than have to be caught driving a Bowel Movement on Wheels. They do less than nothing for me.

the throttle house vid was entertaining. I wish for once theyd all leave the paddle shifters the F alone, let the trans do what it does best, theyd prob get much better results

I think the most profound thing that was said, (when describing the Charger) was, "Holy crap, is this car fun to drive!".

Isn't that what an enthusiast's car all about?

My 2 cents.

 

[vortecd]

There are other cars out there that do run well but the bmw does cost twice as much as the redeye and would be nowhere as fun to drive

 

[Slowpoke387]

Yeah was watching the parts where they were showing the BMW and it was almost boring. I think it may be too refined, although the performance speaks for itself. And I’m an avid BMW hater too.

Agree with the comments on BMW. I love mine for what I bought it for - making my bi-monthly 600 mile round trip to Vegas for flying.

The creature comforts are nice and I actually really like the iDrive setup but it's super boring to drive. Elicits absolutely zero emotions when driving. And so far it's been very easy and relatively cheap to maintain.

I thought I was going to replace my Hellcat with an M car but after driving many M3/M5s it came down to the fact that, while very nice, they just didn't put a smile on my face like the Hellcat did. I understand the new AWD M5 may be different.

I admired my german cars,
I love my Hellcat.

 

[BULL]

Did he seriously rip off a non-existent center console?

Looked like the console lid came off

I'm seeing these things do 10.6's in the 1/4mi.(That's supposedly the '2021 CS. The earlier ones were like low 11's) How'd the RE lose by half a track on that straight run? I'm also seeing they're closer to 200K. (like $198K not $170K). Am I wrong on any of this?

 

[Av8ing1]

I'll take one of each please. If I have to pay for it...I'll keep my paid for non RE Charger.

I saw 200k also. Like I said twice as much, well more then twice as much

Disappointing video for the Charger Redeye

WTF, the comments about there being storage in the freaking doors?! But AWD and superior launch control will rule the roost every day, all day. Did find it entertaining how they dished on the Challenger all day.

Not much dodge can do awd wise but if they got their head out of their ass, all the sensors are there, you could have a launch control system second to none in that car.

the one common denominator across all these video reviews where they either do evals on the HC/Redeye/SS or comparisons vs higher dollar/higher end cars, whatever, is that they lament or complain its not a great track car and its a burnout machine and cheap interior, all kinds of other stuff, but EVERY ONE OF THEM, is smiling laughing and giggling like a kid while driving them. You dont see them doing that when driving much else. That speaks volumes. Yeah not the best track car, or not the fastest or not the best at x y z, but they cant wipe the grin off their faces or hide their sheer excitement during and after the test drives. THAT is what its about

Also you can buy two Hellcats for the price, and still have enough money left over for a solid week of hooker heaven. Fast cars, faster women, and the cash to enjoy both, makes for a happy man.

Ps. Incase anyone wonders, completely faithful to my wife from our first date. But many fond memories of civilian ladies, and pros, those flashbacks hit me occasionally, and get me remembering the old days. South American, and European Ladies, are wild and free, not so oppressed by the rules, or ashamed of their bodies.
Okay enough dreams, back to reality.

My point is that its odd to me when comparing stuff not in the same price range. I enjoy McDonald's food, but also enjoyed the expensive dinner I had a few nights ago in Reno. But I wouldn't compare them, one costs me $7 for an entire meal and beverage, the other was $95.

No doubt the BMW is a great car, it should be for that kind of money.

It reminds me of this Jaguar: https://www.jaguar.com/about-jaguar/special-vehicle-operations/project-8.html

Another $190k car that everyone wants to drive, but not own.
