Top Gear studio 2005 - Hammond's Dodge Charger

[grezzer31]

I like those rims, at least they arn't 30' inch DUB's lol

[mackensie2212]

what a horrid car!

[GoodTimeBuddies]

@mackensie2212 u just jelly

[SkyRazor2011]

He probably wants to keep the stock rims in one piece!

[BravestToaster]

It's a charger. Why is there any debate about this? Real car guys can look at it for a 1/2 second and tell. It's one of the most iconic muscle cars. C'mon, why is this so difficult.

[bent8rover]

@BravestToaster I don't know, but it's funny ....for a while. I guess the 'real car guys' aren't squinting at a grubby video clip on a tiny Smartphone. They're out there building a better one...

[johnyringoz]

@BravestToaster

Are you for certain its a charger ?

[chiang0809466]

i want one of that to scare children!!!

[Justsomeguysomewhere]

HIDEOUS WHEELS totally destroy the look of the car, also those tires dont belong on a muscle car PERIOD, stance doesnt look good either.

The guy who built this one should stick to euro/jap cars, stop raping muscle cars pls

[bent8rover]

@Justsomeguysomewhere In your opinion.

[MrIggybo]

@bent8rover yea fuck his opinion...

[superpug666]

@Justsomeguysomewhere the wheels arent that bad its not because its a muscle car that it should only have magnum 500s or cragar ss....theres better things than 15inches lol and for the tires, they are sport so better grip what wrong with that? The only think i seriously dislike are the mufflers....they are suposed to be hidden underneath the car before the rear axle...not a generic universal pos like that, but awesome car still

[danelio]

@Justsomeguysomewhere you're a retard. the car is nice. just because it doesn't have drag slicks and weld wheels in the back doesn't mean its shity. maybe this guy actually wants to be able to turn and punch the gas at the same time, and not just go fast in a straight line. leave the comments for the smarter, more motorsports oriented people. not girls that complain about a car because it doesn't meet their generic and boring standards.

[majskolv0]

@danelio if you want to turn and punch the gas at the same time in a real muscle car, the wheels isn't the first thing you should change, but if you've got some manliness in yourself you have to agree that those rims looks like a donkeys ass on a charger

[jflexe99]

chrome aftermarket wheels...what a poof!

[scaifie2]

@jflexe99 he probably wants to protect the originals from the poor excuse for tarmac that they use on british roads

[patricemarteaux]

i want his car

[bent8rover]

@brandon6pk Firstly, if you'd looked first, you'd have seen both the guys who confused with a Plymouth live in the US. Secondly, where do you get off being abusive about our Mothers? Show us you've a passport first.

[EndofDays213]

Damn thats his car?... Dude got taste.

[Razastar1971]

what are you all talking about..... its a 69 charger!!

[oscar6123]

It looks like a Plymouth Road Runner....a Dodge charger rebadge. Only, I recall the Road Runner was the one that came in lime green. I could be wrong.

[bent8rover]

@oscar6123 Look again. Start with the shape of the light units.

[oscar6123]

@bent8rover Got it. I realized that it was indeed a Dodge Charger the second time and tried to edit my comment. Too late. Cheers.

[skatethehouse999]

@bent8rover changing the lights is very easy, the 68 and the 70 chargers have different lights and its the same exact body almost

[bent8rover]

@skatethehouse999 Are you saying the rear panel is the same pressing as the Plymouth? It isn't.

[skatethehouse999]

@bent8rover no not at all, its almost the same and most light sets from chargers can be sawn down to fit but i guess that's pointless if you have bought a Plymouth, you might as well have just bought a charger haha

[bent8rover]

@skatethehouse999 Good luck with the saw.

[fuelinjectedmaniac]

@oscar6123 its a charger the plymoth and the dodge had different body panels and because that a unibody frame you cant really rebadge one of those cars and call it the other without some serious custom metal work, that and at 00:31 you can see the charger badge on the vinyl top just behind the passenger window

[paintwaster117]

@oscar6123 they do the ability to paint cars over in England

[05Rudey]

i prefer the Bowler parked next to it.

[TerminatorTX11]

Hammond has really good taste

[vicpik]

nice sound

[czwij]

a zeppelin handles better than that dodge. but nothing of this earth sounds so sweet. hell even a merlin powered spitfire comes close, but it's still not "it". i was a chevy guy, but always lusted after dodge engines.

[sarcasmojones]

That Dodge sounds awesome even when it is idling.

[masterjedi89]

Hammond is a secret American at heart.

[Superabound2]

@masterjedi89 Judging by the looks of the car, hes also secretly Ben 10

[Chunkychucky]

One of the best sounding cars i've ever heard from that Charger, however the wheels are shocking..

[dandi20009]

how do we know that it is hammonds charger



[bent8rover]

@dandi20009 Google.

[SeberHusky]

Now THAT is a nice exhaust sound...anyone know what exhaust he's got on there? Probably some British ones, I'd assume?

[bent8rover]

@SeberHusky There is a brief write-up on drcreview site, search on "Mopar Muscle for Top Gear's Hammond"

[hughski0000]

Thats a Plymouth Baracuda morons.

[bent8rover]

@hughski0000 There was no such model. In fact, no manufacturer has made a model edition called 'morons'.

[Stuntman175]

@hughski0000 I've never seen a Plymouth Barracuda that said Charger in the C pillar. Imbecile.

[hughski0000]

That's a PLYMOUTH BARACUDA you idiots!

[bent8rover]

@hughski0000 Wrong platform. A 1969 Barracuda was A-body.

[extremepsychogamer]

@hughski0000

thats a charger dipshit, look closely and go learn about cars before trying to be a smartass

[and313]

@hughski0000 well i dont see it anywhere. do you? or do you think you do?

[dunderthedirt]

@hughski0000 Are you blind????

[TheFormalGuy]

@hughski0000 You calling us idiots, your a hypocrite and you need glasses.

[GdRoock]

@hughski0000 Look at the description. Or the stripe on the car. Or the shape????? It's a charger. Fail..

[TheKleco]

@hughski0000 i think hammond knows a bit better than you which car he bought.

[shaunomenon]

@hughski0000 No it is a Charger you idiot!

[fuelinjectedmaniac]

@hughski0000 look at the car google charger, look at the car again google baracuda look at car again and see if you learned something

[bad65stang]

@hughski0000 its a charger bud

[yungkidnf]

@hughski0000 Actually, the Barracuda(with 2 r's) had a much shorter platform than the Charger, it shared one with the Challenger, an had a flat pane back window, not the inset one this Charger clearly has, also, it's body dimensions where completely different.

[hughski0000]

That's a  PLYMOUTH BARACUDA you idiots!

[ro0t9]

thumbs up if you cant thumbs up

[StoyanBG1]

RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!

[Zecoatl]

Lol, Hammond you silly show off, you.

[kenns9]

any non stock Charger is gay!

[NHCWARZONE]

Unleashing the beast 

[Jonbeee]

great sound, ugly exhausts... 

[carcrazy2424]

The sad thing is, that Charger's nicer than a lot of them IN America. D=

But kudos to him anyway for an amazing car..

[landothegreatest666]

i love the fact that hammonjd still loves muscle cars, that thing sounds tasty!

[Khazar01]

- One small step on the gas pedal, the engine makes a beautiful sounding "VROOM" and 35 liters of fuel gone in less than 1 sec. :)

[motanelustelistu]

@Khazar01 Tottally agree . Why can't any1 invent a 4L 400HP engine which will do 10L/100km :P ?

[Khazar01]

@motanelustelistu I think that BMW have a 3L 335HP engine that does about 14L/100km which is not so bad after all :)

[ashrafnfs]

@Khazar01 hahahaha somethin' like that. I'm willing to do many unspeakable things to get my hands on a proper car that sounds like that :D

[Debbiebaxter51]

0 TO 60 IN GAS STATION



[Debbiebaxter51]

TWENTY BUCKS A REV LOL

[461blackwidow]

Hmmm I wonder why they always bag on american cars but just in that video, I saw a Charger, Ford GT, and a Hummer H2 probably some of America's most stereotypical cars haha

[boboo73]

How do he reach the accelerator?

[superkryp13]

anyone who says American Muscle cars are crap needs a good lesson!

[dancono1]

V6 V10 V12. No better sound on this planet than a V8 stock or tuned, old or new

[bigorange1986]

Hamster is about the only one of the three that has true taste in beautiful cars.

[RustyStallioNZ]

Charger looks sick, especially on those chromies :)

[SirLoinOfsteak85]

Looks like he's driving into a nuclear blast. :D

[eddierools]

I love how Richard got himself a 1969 Dodge Charger. Richard may be a Brit on the outside, but he has an American heart to understand how fantastic American muscle cars are, especially Mopars. I have heard rumors that he had sell it off because it was doing so little miles to the gallon. Understandable, but people have to realise that cars like those are just not capable of being every day cars anymore, now they're the kind of cars that you take out on a beautiful day and have a good time.

[Statimtek]

At least one of them has good taste! : )

[prabhsharn1]

my ears are bleeding

[djiezeskraajst]

Awesome sound. Still would prefer the Ford GT form te beginning of the vid...

[tonidmc]

Those hotwheels wheels look horrible in that classic Charger

[TheKenjoje]

too farty

[Tarotgal8205]

OMG! What a great all American sound!!!

[Chouldentfindanygood]

I want that dodge, cut the roof of and install roll cage and drive like Gordon Freeman does offroad :)

[moonkef]

Wasn't it sold on, stripped, found to be very rusty and turned into a General Lee??

[SteezyJerksEnt]

Sad, he has driving soo many nicer vehicles.

[drummerboy1550]

Love the car!!

[The509charger1]

nice



[baswink96]

Wow! Amazing!!

What kind of mufflers and engine are on that Dodge??Awesome..!

[MrAlarmklock]

@baswink96 a 440ci with flowmasters

[baswink96]

Wow dude! Awesome!

Does anybody know what kind of mufflers and engine that is?

[Jake5762]

He owns my two favourite cars a 350 mustang and a charger =/ damn him

[violinmadness]

the studio looks insane without any audience in it

[lab42486]

listen to the idle and its a stick

[jefryjacsjeff]

he's the best.. he has the look that woman will melt in his arm, then he had a dodge charger..what more can his ask for...damn him..hehehe!!

[carbonfootprintmyass]

thats nice but the wheels arent

[TraustiGeir]

The beast is HUNGRY!

[TheAnToOo9]

I don't know how you can argue with that...

[EJL2004]

Man, those 3 gents live an astonishingly wonderful life!

[cookiemuncher3000]

@nikobellic2008 Oliver. . .

[DC322]

Hammond also owns a Shelby Mustang.

[SRSpoony]

that charger is just stunning, and the noise is just like a volcano blowing

[toyota420xp]

richard said the charger was only made for 8 years. that is wrong they were made from 1966 until 1987 then 2006 to present

[whatever04811]

Hammond is a secret Yank!

[hardtackjack]

Wonderful Charger! Now he just needs some period-correct rally rims! =D

[tomsriv]

Looks like a 70. Love the car, the wheels, not so much. 

[MrPoshyandjoinc]

Nice car, it's better than that shitty ford GT!

[haynes571]

sweet he got the charger !

[haynes571]

[guguigugu]

[RacketOfficial]

hammonds charger sounds beast!

[hughski0000]

@RacketOfficial thats a plymouth baracuda dumbass

[bent8rover]

@hughski0000 No.

[hughski0000]

@RacketOfficial Its a Plymouth Baracuda.

[Sammyzuko]

Awesome! I wonder what kind of looks he gets driving that around England :)

[littleenglish]

@Sammyzuko I've been to London and I saw some muscle cars there.  It was kind of odd lol
