We drove the first and last Dodge Challenger to see how it evolved into what it is now… and to see why Dodge is finally putting it to rest.

Huge thanks to @jaylenosgarage for letting us drive his 1970 Challenger!

    I like how Jay is just here without any introductions, like the cool grandpa taking the kids out for a day.
  • @dtemp132
    I love how Jay is like the grandfather of car youtube right now
  • @kevingass1271
    The black ghost is such an awesome story. RIP to the legend cop. Took care of his family and had a whole race career. What a man.
  • @TheDesiDragon
    R.I.P. to the car that introduced me to the supercharger whine. Dodge Challenger, you will be missed dearly 😔
  • @bluceree7312
    Jay's passion will keep him young all the way to the age of 128, probably.
  • @Mhospitality
    RIP Dodge Challenger, an iconic car, you will not be forgotten
  • @LtNduati
    I love how Jay is just there sometimes, like all over Car Youtube, dude is a legend
  • As a boy from Austria I didn't have much knowledge or appreciation for American muscle. I was all up in the Japanese import mindset. And then I saw the R/T Challenger in Need for Speed Carbon. And I fell in love. The swooping lines, the friendly face, the elegant shape all just spoke to me. 17 years later the classic challenger is still my favourite American muscle car and I'll never get the chance to drive one. And now it's gone. Rest in peace, legend.

    "don't ride the clutch so hard" You could see the fear in Nolans eyes
  • @axel3895
    Nice to see jay helping kids understand cars better
  • Whoever did the graphics for this episode needs a raise!!!! Really stellar work 😍
  • the og challenger is such a unique piece of machine. it is low like a sports car, it's got a long hood like a supercar, and it's acceleration is so raw, that even though it's just 130, you feel like you are about to die from going into the seat. it truly was, and is, still one of my favorite classics. RIP. may you never be forgotten.
  • Jay Leno clowning Nolan on riding the clutch is one of my all-time favorite Donut moments.
  • @dqge_6068
    It's so sad to see icons like the Evo and the Challenger get cut from production. Last few years have been hard on the automotive industry (RIP Holden).
  • @4RILDIGITAL
    Phenomenal deep dive into the history and evolution of the Dodge Challenger! I've always been a fan of this car, and your video just reaffirmed my admiration. What a send-off to an iconic piece of American automotive history, and the connection with the Black Ghost was a fantastic touch! Looking forward to seeing how Dodge will continue this legacy in the future. Great job!

    Wow, so cool to see James’ dad driving the lads around, I’d love to see an Up to Speed on him! Edit: I’m telling you all, hydrogen combustion is the next step, the only emission is literally just water, the engine is still pretty powerful, and it’s proven safe! Come on world!
  • @CrapTrapSlap
    The look on Jay's face while pulling the challenger suggests that he pulled cars 10 times faster than this , while the donut crew loses their faces. Absolute legend.
  • @Josh-og9lp
    I would have melted into my seat if Jey Leno told me to stop riding the clutch in his Challenger, way to keep your composure lmao
  • @SupraJoe
    As a JDM car guy, this breaks my heart. R.I.P. legend. 😞
  • @ShinnSin
    Dang, truly an end of an era. You guys really need to keep doing these types of videos, the story telling and animation is amazing. Keep it up.
