    Wow! This is production! So ur getting almost Demon looks. The widebody just makes it that more menacing.

    The video is 7:07 long , well played sir !

      Well done! It was a huge pain to get it to 7:07.

    Another awesome video Brian! This widebody in Octane Red OMG.... It seriously has me considering if I can afford two car payments right now because I just bought a Benz C43 (Needed something with AWD for the bad days). I guess I'll just have to make due with my Supercharged 6.4 Challenger SRT for now..... But videos like this just make me drool! :D

    • @BrianMakse
      @BrianMakse  Před 7 lety +1

      +Brett DiMichele Studios ah, man, this Widebody is soooo good. Thanks for watching! We really appreciate your feedback! Hope you enjoyed!

    @markurbancowboy Před 5 lety

    I love my manual trans but the way the auto was downshifting and holding the revs was pure awesome!

    • @BrianMakse
      @BrianMakse  Před 5 lety

      We just tested one in the real world. Love that car with a manual, but the Demon...

    @123bigred Před 6 lety

    I wish they would Improve the gaps on the body panels play it over and watch closely. I remember a 2007 impala v6 had gaps like Those! LOL

    What an awesome review and camera shots. I saw on another review that the rims are 4lbs lighter EACH per rim, do you know if that is true?

    • @BrianMakse
      @BrianMakse  Před 7 lety +1

      Thanks. I don't have that in my notes. Depending on the source, that may be true.

    Looks way better, the one thing I didn't like was the Huge car with little skinny tires and the narrow looking rear.

    Those downshifts tho 😍

    • @MrBmaleki
      @MrBmaleki Před 6 lety

      Wayne Morris what down shifts? It's an a8 and he didn't touch those paddle shifters once...?

    • @waynemorris3973
      @waynemorris3973 Před 6 lety

      Bobby Fresh an automatic still downshifts

    • @MrBmaleki
      @MrBmaleki Před 6 lety

      Wayne Morris obviously..? There’s nothing special about an a8 downshifting lol

  • @dobbins2550
    @dobbins2550 Před 7 lety

    That transmission shifts so hard and quick.

    • @BrianMakse
      @BrianMakse  Před 7 lety

      +dobbins2550 wicked on downshifts, too

  • @calimade8136
    @calimade8136 Před 6 lety

    Is it auto rev matching just off deceleration?

    • @BrianMakse
      @BrianMakse  Před 6 lety

      Under heaving braking. Track mode works exceptionally well with the auto.

  • @hmackprotection1
    @hmackprotection1 Před 7 lety

    Brian, what are the specs on the new tires??

    • @BrianMakse
      @BrianMakse  Před 7 lety +3

      305s on 20 x 11s for the Widebody vs 275s on 20 x 9.5s on the regular Hellcat. There's a P Zero all season available, but the better choice is the three season P Zero which is what I drove.

    • @hmackprotection1
      @hmackprotection1 Před 7 lety +2

      Brian Makse, right on Man. Thanks

  • @amanimccrary4483

    Ahhh im not really feeling the widebody look i hope its an option to delete widebody on the website

      You can still get a regular Hellcat.

    • @BrianMakse

      Good eye. Yeah, it was a ton of work to cut out those extra couple of seconds and get it right.

  • @customerreviews8476
    @customerreviews8476 Před 5 lety

    Has anyone ever provide a full video review of the functionalities of the JEEP SRT. For example, audio, navigation, engine, steering (driving in straight-line), body inspection, memory settings, wipers, and etc. I have completed some research, and I have never seen so many SRT for resale (Whether JEEP or Dodge). I did made some phone calls to sellers, and did get some feedbacks regarding functionality issues. Let me know what you think. From what I understand, these are all BAILOUT vehicles. Safety is a concern.

    • @BrianMakse
      @BrianMakse  Před 5 lety

      We have extensive reviews of the Jeep SRT here, but the things you're asking for is something we don't cover. We're interested in how it drives. I like they way everything works and in fact nearly purchased a Trackhawk. Great all around vehicle.

    • @customerreviews8476
      @customerreviews8476 Před 5 lety

      Thanks Brian; however, I am very interested in reliability and real-life reviews. Most of these reviews are all about horse power, rims, tire, and exhaust note. Take that away for a minute. What else can be reviewed. Dodge, Chrysler, and JEEP are ripping their customer off. No offense to your video, but looking for a review that's truly engaged for the consumer. Hope this helps.

    How would you put it against the Camaro ZL1 1LE?

    • @BrianMakse
      @BrianMakse  Před 7 lety +1

      +Eugenio Picado dunno. Haven't driven a ZL1.

    • @EugenioPicado
      @EugenioPicado Před 7 lety

      Brian Makse whenever you do, cool if you pass a comment on comparison for braking and handling

    • @BrianMakse
      @BrianMakse  Před 7 lety

      +Eugenio Picado pretty sure I know which way that's gonna go. The Hellcat is the real muscle car. The Camaro is a pony car with sports car cred.

    • @midnightsconfide3683
      @midnightsconfide3683 Před 7 lety

      They're not on the same league so that comparison would be pointless.

      Budget version of the demon.

    I prefer the look of the previous Hellcats. I'm not a fan of the flared wheel wells.

      +pjpaella I can appreciate that. I prefer the Widebody.

    @IAMMRPATRICKBORNAGAIN Před 7 lety +2

    Dodge should redesign the Magnum and bring it back as a Hellcat. It'd be the sickest wagon on the planet.

    • @BrianMakse
      @BrianMakse  Před 6 lety

      For all three people that would buy it.

  • @MrBmaleki
    @MrBmaleki Před 6 lety

    So you're going to do a car review in an auto but didn't bother using the paddle shifters at all?
    Think if you're doing a review on a with such caliber, with an auto trans perhaps you should have used one of the best features on the car. The paddle shifters...

    • @BrianMakse
      @BrianMakse  Před 6 lety +1

      Paddle shifters? Clearly I failed to articulate that track mode shifts perfectly for you on track.

    • @MrBmaleki
      @MrBmaleki Před 6 lety

      Brian Makse even though track mode slightly alters the shifts points, I think the paddle shifters still would have been the better route. You still would have benefited from the track mode suspension and traction
