I suspect they were talking Hellcats or SRT's. SRT Chargers also came before SRT Challengers.
Right, either way the Charger was first! Do the people who made these videos even know that?!? The fact that neither could say Street and Racing Technology...Preston got pretty close at least.

I think it's pretty sad that " pretty close " is acceptable now a days.

And most of them don't even care about having a car in the first place. Self-driving mode of getting from A to B, or even just public transportation.

I meet so few young people that could give two flying Fs about cars...
On some level I agree..on another I'll just give my impression being an instructor at a aviation maintenance school teaching young folk and Vets under GI Bill

Some youngsters are totally obvious to a real muscle machines...
And the other half are envious of my Trackhawk in the teachers parking lot.

It seems to depend on their upbringing and exposure to horsepower..

The Vets who worked on Ospries, F16, 18,'s F35's and Tanks and vehicles get it.....
Or the Ricers who follow the car set are very interested..

We.... as old timer Dinosaur's need to teach the younger set who never had their role models hell most have no fathers...

Preston’s social media history has at least one negative Dodge video. I don’t understand how that is okay, versus a collection like Speedy has. I don’t know who vetted the contestants social media history. I don’t need to meet him or be interested in him at all from what I saw about him and his new Porsche as he blasted Dodge in several ways. Anyone want to view it, it’s over at the other place.

I swear Speedy said they did personal interviews before they finalized the select few. Uhm did anyone ask the question have you ever badmouthed Dodge? And even published it on the Social Media.

Yeah I’m seeing all this stuff about him too now coming out. What a joke, Dodge should be embarrassed!

So what did you think of the Plaid? I’ve been in one, cannot deny the acceleration!

Im making a YouTube video but yeh no thanks. Sure it’s exhilarating but that’s all it does zero fun factor for me.

Well done for the effort @Speedy!

Was definitely pulling for you and when I saw you made it to the top 5 with Artie, that was it, a lock between one of you.

Disappointed you got little to no airtime from the interview, knowing you speak about cars more so than most of us in multiple situations.

Hoping it may pan out for you in other opportunities, if nothing else than additional positive notoriety at ChallengerFest and Beech Bend Racetrack in the near future.

SFMF.

So preston made a pass at MSHS today. He has a blue widebody charger so not sure if that is his car or the one Dodge is letting him drive for a year. Well, couldn't do much of a burnout, had a 1.09 reaction and ran 11.89@123:(
