Chrysler has a long history of being behind Ford and GM when things are changing in the auto world. Chrysler has always had a thing for being a company that wants to be unlike others. Chrysler was late with responding to the personal luxury market. The Cordoba was introduced at the peek of time before the market began to slowly shrink and cars were downsized a few years later. Chrysler was lacking in the economy car market during the 1970s. There was the Dodge Colt, but it didn't get the attention Ford, GM, Honda, and Toyota got. The Dodge Durango was introduced once the Chevy S10 Blazer, Jeep XJ Cherokee, and Ford Explorer had already been in production. There's many more vehicles Chrysler's brands have introduced that are late in the segment.

Such an AWESOME overview. I learned a TON. Thank you for posting!

Like your videos. Have you ever considered doing a video of a cars complete history? Like the Charger from its beginning in 66 through its rough years in the 70s becoming an economy car in the 80s then returns as a 4 door muscle car in the 2000s? Something like that. Or doing videos on other Mopars like the Polara, Satellite, Coronet, Fury or the original Magnum from the late 70s? I think it would be cool.

The F6F was used by the Navy from 1943 to 1945 as their primary carrier fighter. The fighter on the carriers in '42 was the F4F-3, and F4F-4 Wildcat. Also 27 Liters is 2,804 in Cubic Inches. One more thing, the Hellcat's air combat record was 19:1 with 305 pilots becoming Aces. Plus, the Royal Navy flew Hellcat's from the decks of their carriers, under the original british name of Gannet F-1.

Excellent video man! Would love to see a similar one for the scat pack

Exceedingly thought out and informative, thank you. As an owner of a 2018 Hellcat I'd sure like to know the difference between my intake and a 2019's intake, Does it really add 10 hp? Oh and what other internal parts and pieces as well. Great send off!

What has kept me from ever buying one is how often they are stolen with Dodge seemingly could care less. Otherwise they would of done something to make it more difficult to steal.

I will miss these horsepower beasts so much. The LX Dodges are what a muscle car was like during the golden era. Powerful, spacious, comfortable, fast, fun, loud, straight-line speed, drifting, donuts. They also have the perfect retro exterior designs of a muscle car from the golden era. I understand how CAFE is costing Dodge too much, even though Dodge has been successful with sales of the Hellcats. As for flaws, aside from the parts issues on earlier models, the weight of the Charger and Challenger Hellcats is a disappointment. Prices on all Hellcats should rise quickly by 2030 due to their love and demand by fans and enthusiasts. But we shall see how many will be remaining by 2040. I can just imagine how many will be and already have been totaled.
