- It is the END of the line for the Dodge Challenger and Charger as we know it. This Last Call edition is on 1 of 300 examples being built to honor the original 1970 Black Ghost that cleaned the streets of Detroit against Chevrolet Camaros and Ford Mustangs. On the outside you will find many unique touches not found on any other Challengers. Under the hood is a Hellcat Redeye Hemi 6.2L supercharged V8 that now produces 807HP. Is the 2023 Dodge Challenger Black Ghost the BEST muscle car you will REGRET not buying?

I can’t believe Dodge is killing off these amazing cars! This review has over 13 mins of ON THROTTLE action. Make sure you see the TWO separate burnouts I did! They are a great way to send this beast off! You guys are #1! 😎👍🏻
Joe Raiti, you are the KING of car reviews and on throttle action. Nobody will ever be able to touch you. You sir are #1. I wonder what the news is on the EV charger? I heard they might offer a V6 variant?
Dodge wouldn't be killing off these cars if we didn't have a crazy train in charge of the country.
@@chrisgelo1425 you are awesome man! Thanks for the support.
@@RaitisRides Anytime Joe! Remember It's Raitis Rides or NO rides!
I have never owned a muscle car but if I was in the market this would be the one…
The time is coming when we will just look back and really appreciate all this old school machines
You better believe it!
Old school? Lol. My 71' 340 Challenger is old school.
Live in the moment
@@DS..69 exactly lol
@@DS..69 good for you, that why I said that the time is going to come meaning in the future. I’m not talking about now.
The Challenger look is iconic…one of the greatest muscle cars made…sad to see it go…great review Joe
Tell me about it Bob!
It's evolving. And looks great
The Challenger's design is beautiful. I predict it will age well
I think you are so very right!
Much better than the current gen mustang and camaro
Not only that, but Challenger is an instantly recognizable car, because it has such a Unique and Historical look. You cannot mistake Challenger for any other car brands or models.
It really is like one of the most beautiful cars on the road always
@@jakes5530 ask your self what car is still going strong 💪 give u a hint not Dodge or camaro
Man such a beautiful car! Sucks there’s only 300 made. Love all the unique touches Dodge put on the ghost. Especially the challenge or emblems on the side. Imagine pulling up next to someone thinking it’s just a regular challenge? They minds will be blown! Awesome video my guy!
Not a big Challenger fan but Joe makes everything interesting. Would be nice to have one of the last ones.
That’s so awesome of you to say!
For all my car guys, there is a cool mini documentary on youtube about the 1970 "black ghost" and its owner.
You are very right! I highly recommend!
....unfortunately entire story is extremely inaccurate....didn't wanna say lie....but I guess you can call it that....Black Ghost was not a king of Woodward Ave.....not even close just a stock 14 second Challenger....Still a very nice and very rare piece of Mopar history....
It's sad dodge is making coffins for this insane V8 engine. Dodge should follow ford's footsteps with the mustang keep the V8 alive
Tell me about it Matt!
@@RaitisRides idk the exact whole story but basically ford came out with the mach e to keep the v8 on its muscle car. It has something to do with regulations
You know the idea of pony car and difference from muscle car?
If they could they would have
It was great to see you made this beast disappear into the smokes when you fired up the engine! American muscle cars will always be the legends! Thanks Joe for yet another great review!
The Black Ghost is such a beautiful special edition! Great vid, Raiti! Awesome videos as always!
I’m so glad that you approve
American Muscle....No substitute....
Last comment from me. For $99K (plus markup) I wish Dodge would’ve had a special (or just updated) infotainment/gauge looking area. And I agree, the money is under the hood, but that’s a whole lotta money for that engine. Just my $0.02. Oh and yes, I would still love one! ❤😅 *Edit* There is no better supercharger whine in the industry!
That is a good suggestion! I hear that supercharger in my dreams!
Totally agree on an updated cockpit so long as it doesn’t look like we are driving through 2 laptops. 👍🇬🇧
Yeah I mean they updated the Durango's interior idk why they couldn't do that for the rest.
@@Nestle245 exactly
It's not worth it.
That engine can be had for $20k.
Wonderful review as always! Joe absolutely needs a Redeye. You can tell the love you have for this car and all the reviews over the years always are top notch. I gotta say, regarding this special edition, I'm not a fan of the white tail stripe or the rims color. I think it would look better just blacked out. Also would be nice if it had some unique Black Ghost exterior badging. Would love to see you own one! It was partially because of your reviews that I picked up my Widebody Scat Challenger and it is my favorite car I've ever owned. Cheers!
Love your videos Joe. Keep ‘‘em coming.
It look liked launching the car the few times you did, aged you a little bit. Can’t imagine the amount of power being thrown at you like that. Livin the dream getting to drive these things!
So wanted him to Floor it past the Tesla at the end
Show those hippies from Commiefornia a real man’s ride
What a breakdown! You cover absolutely everything, I love watching your passion behind the wheel!
Joe you always deliver the best reviews. So glad to see your continued success.
Wouldn't mind having a ghost in my house.
I’ll have Dodge send you one!😊
Awesome review joe! Thanks for also mentioning the tire issue these mopars come with from the factory. I have upgraded to the Pilot Sport 4’s and they make a world of a difference in traction!
Thanks man! You are a smart guy!
Really needed this after a hard day. I’m excited it’s here and this thing is so beautiful an powerful.
What a beautiful burn out!
Thanks man! Nice & Smokey just the way I like them!
I've said it before, I'll say it again, these challengers are like the iPhones of the car world. They never really change much appearance wise, even on the different trim levels.
Wouldn’t that be a Camry or a Honda accord?
@@jerelle_lol!
Interesting
@@jerelle_ good call
Also is the same shape giant rectangle
Another great video from Joe and the team! Great work to you all!
Thanks for letting me bring it to you Andrew.
Got my 23 Last Call Widebody Scat Pack Challenger exactly one month ago. 392 with a 6 sp manual. Funnest car I've ever driven.
How much you end up getting it for
@@steve9348 MSRP + TTL Mine was 61K sticker.
@@steve9348 If you don't need a last call there are plenty of used with low miles out there for cheaper that are in really nice shape
Have the Swinger manual order
Just got the vin # had to pay 5k over
Thanks for sharing the awesome news.
Black Ghost, based on an embellished story manufactured by Godfrey Qualls' son. The man's name is Godfrey Quall's not Callum and he was a veteran, Special Forces, Purple Heart recipient but the story of the '70 Challenger beating everything in Detroit was the fictional part of the story.
Honestly, ever since the Hellcat, Redeye, and Demon, I feel like once you've seen 1 Challenger and Charger, you've pretty much seen them all. This platform has been milked more than a 🐄
Never, still more milk to go. Mopar is going to milk almonds and coconuts next, lol
the platform of a 20+ year old Mercedes E Class
I bet you like corvettes.
@@HEAVYCHEVY409
I believe it. 😂😂
Same with a mustang
Even if you get passed the MSRP of $99K. The biggest issue will be dealers doing a stealership mark-up adjustment of (30K-50K) most likely more due to 1 of 300.
I miss 2016 when you could get a nice red hellcat for 55-60k never
@whereisthedollar - "past", and your sentence structure is wrong. Let's try: "Even if you get past the MSRP of $99K, the biggest issue will be the dealers. They'll want a stealership mark-up of $30-50K due to only 300 being made.
I can't believe Raiti got his hands on one! I've been waiting for this review!
Wow this is a very special review, thank you Joe, and Steven🎥
Thanks Joe! Fantastic homage given to the real Black Ghost in your review. Dodge hit it out the park with this replica. That’s one bad Mo Fo Muscle Car…wouldn’t change a thing with it. Back in the muscle car era, when I went through basic training, my drill sergeant would say “Smoke em if you got them”. You certainly did smoke them😂.
I got a 19 hellcat widebody not a red eye because I wanted a manual, never regretted it. Whichever one you choose. Amazing.
Manual is the way to go!
@@Vosovogalsyncopemanual is the “only” way to go!
they’re all the same at the end of the day
love ur enthusiasm!!!!! always enjoy your reviews!!!!!
Wow. What a great machine. I am a Chev guy. But Dodge just keeps giving us these great machine. I might have to add one of these Black Ghost to my car collection. What a way to send this video with a double patch of rubber left on the asphalt . Great Video Joe. I think you are having way to much fun. Great video. The time is near when in about 15 to 20 years these cars will be worth their weight in gold. Forget the stock market . Stock up on some American muscle machines. Joe and Lori . You guys are great . Thank Joe
I love it! Put a couple of people in the back seat and scare the hell out of them. I couldn't stop laughing. Great improvision!
Great job and thanks for bringing this one. You, Steven and Lori are the BEST 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
An honorable tribute to the car that ruled the streets of Detroit 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 back in the early ‘70’s.
For us MOPAR fans, Stellantis (Dodge) has turned their backs on the generations that got us here. Instead, it’s all about corporate/dealership greed, with these cars going to the highest bidder 🤬.
Canadians are willing to pay too but sadly Stellantis isn’t shipping any pre ordered Challengers or Chargers to our Country! I ordered my ScatPack WB Charger in April 2022 and still no build date for me. I live 2 hours from where they’re being built and all shipped to the USA! Not cool
a 2 ton 14 sec stock 426 hemi did not rule the streets anywhere ever - the human interest story is commendable but the rest is fairy tale
9:06 sums it up
Love it. Wish it was numbered.
Joe, love your videos. That triangular shape by the air vent at the 11:00 mark is called the Fratzog. As always, l enjoyed watching your high quality work! Thanks for sharing
This was one of the best "On Throttles"!!! What a Beast!
I been waiting for you to review this and go on throttle in this beast. So sad this is the last year for them.
Tell me about it! We had to do it extra special for this review
Great video thank you
Great Joe on this review on the Black Ghost. Wow what a great muscle machine. I am a Chev guy from way back . I might have to add this car to my collection.
I can't believe all of the car companies are going electric. Keep the V8 Engine under the hoods of all of the performance cars. I will never own an electric muscle car. Great Job Joe on the Review on this car. A great car with history tied to it. You guys are # 1 on these reviews. Keep up the great work.
Awesome ride!
2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody Black Ghost Special Edition!
Heck yeah Scott!
Nice review keep up the good work Joe
Great review Joe! What a shame to see these cars go by the wayside. I don’t like it at all. Love the on throttle action. Great stuff! Thanks for bringing it to us.
For over 100k after taxes you can’t even get a serialized placard?! 🤣 great review as always!
One of many I WISH I could buy! 😂 Thanks for sharing brother.
You and me both Lee!
Love Raitis enthusiasm, it is infectious...
Thanks for the ride alone! Great video! I'm like you about getting a hellcat instead . Love to hear that super charge buzz.😁👍
Sweet ride!Silver wheels look super against the black finish.Great burnout!
I freaking love you JOE I love watching these reviews. I’m on a binge watch right now.😂 and I know I can’t believe this is the last call😢
Had to fast forward to the on throttle portion ! 😁 lol
Don’t miss the two separate super Smokey burnouts!
Love seeing Joe go on throttle in such a beast of a car!
Thanks for taking the ride with me!
Another awesome review.
Another great vid!!!
Thanks Owen for letting me bring it to you.
Nice one !
Thanks man!
All your advice is spot on! You can get in trouble very fast in this car. I have the 2021 Redeye and it’s a total blast with the paddle shifters. I have the dark warp speed rims and like them much better than those Shiny ones. Also all black. Mine is loaded without a sun roof and hood clamps but I was at $95K sticker. Thanks
Enjoy it while last. Great review as always 🎉
I got the see the OG real black ghost at the Detroit Autorama yesterday. So awesome to see and hear about the history of street racing and epic muscle cars.
Very interesting history 🥇
I’m so glad that I could share it with you!
Wow 😮a Beautiful machine 🙌😎
I’m glad you are digging this one!
Thanks to your videos. You're the reason why I got my gold rush 50th anniversary. Watched that video endlessly every night knowing when my opportunity came. I'd get the gold rush. Thank you
Nice ride Man! 🚗
Hey Raiti's Rides Can You Make The 2023 Ram 1500 Limited
You got it my friend!
The Black Ghost Challenger is an awesome car!
You said it right Bryan!
There's a video on U-Tube showing what appears to be a totalled new black ghost. Apparently the owner didn't realize this car finds objects that are stationary. I like the car, but why $90,000+. Its still a Challenger with a performance Hemi and the standard features of what a Challenger RT came with that a few years ago sold for Many Thousands Less. I enjoyed your road test, but I don't see this as a daily driver. It's close to being a track only car because of it's high horsepower and short wheel base
Ur best video yet…great job
Kool looking dodge Challenger.
I’m glad you approve Manuel!
Smoke m if ya got them Raiti
Hell to the yeah!
i have a 2016 Challenger. "Thanks for this video. It was helpful!
Great review! I have a Widebody RedEye and felt the rush every time he stepped on the gas! What a shame the future holds.
What up Joe? MOPAR TIME!
Hey Tom! Let’s smoke’em!
@@RaitisRides ;D
Joe, I think you should buy one of these cars. Limited quantity, there's your bragging rights, it's FAST, gas powered, need I say more. Joe and Lori taking a ride in their new Black Ghost.
I am trying to look into it for sure!
@Raiti's Rides would you purchase the crap financing man sells ( extended warrenty, paint protection)?
The black ⚫️ 👻 is the best send-off... great review Joe and Steven..on throttle multiple 🔥 burnouts into the sunset 🌇 💯 oh get the super stock..😊
Sweet Ride! 👍
I better hurry up and buy this car now Joe.
I wouldn’t wait too long!
The Ghost🖤🔥
Heck yeah man!

The whine is worthwhile joe! Thank you so much for this you three you guys are #1!!😊😊😊😊

That supercharger whine when Joe goes on-throttle. Man oh man! Like the voice of angels.
Man love your energy, it looks like I am inside with you nice 👍
That’s what I love to provide!

Joe, this one needs to be in your collection, or at least some variation of a Challenger! Such a beautiful car.
Nice tasty review so I immediately wanted to buy on of these muscle cars before they gone.. But the gas prices in Canada put me down to Earth.
😳😬👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Thnxs guys for the great video’s 🇺🇸
You are so very welcome!
Nice review Raiti! I will have to wipe my eyes on this one. This Black Ghost is nice!
Steve very nice camera work! Better ask the BOSS if you can get one your fans will only get you in trouble!
Yeah, get one!
Another great video, thank you!
Awesome! I'm curious what do you drive?
Always great Joe. Roof is cool. Only issue is the exhaust. Killer otherwise
