The audio in this video was recorded with in-ear binaural microphones. If you wear headphones, your mind won't be blown, but it will go, "woah, that's cool."

I'm also the producer for the Winding Road YouTube Channel:

Here on TheTopher, I'm known for putting a camera on my face and driving cars. Whether it's about any of my personal cars or reviews on weekly press vehicles, the goal is to give you an idea of what a certain car is like to drive or live with. Most of my videos are filmed in POV, with my clothes on, and (for like the 5th time) with in-ear binaural audio. Which, if I haven't made it clear yet, is why you should wear headphones. Because of the whole "woah" factor. It's there, trust me. Try it, it's pretty nuts. Or don't. As long as you whitelist me on your adblocker I'm okay with whatever you do or don't do with regards to headphone usage. That is all. Oh and I guess you should also probably subscribe. Why are you still reading this, you should be watching the video. With headphones! Hah, had to sneak that in there one more time. Later!

This is the one I'd get. It's a manageable amount of power and really all the power you need. Simple V8 and rear wheel drive with all of the styling cues of the 60s and 70s muscle cars.

[DonnySRT]

I love these POV videos. Nice to hear the exhaust and seeing it driven around a track and not just street racing

[Basslightning]

Great content Topher! This footage debunks the myth that Scats are only strait line performers, Track Mode is excellent for Auto Cross.

[belchbat]

I love that you don’t dramatize shifting gears with the paddles. It’s upsets me to the core seeing “car influencers” slapping the paddle shifter taking there hand off the wheel lol

[jayfrazier]

Amazing Videos Dude. I love them i think you one of the best out here even tho you may not be the biggest you just really get into detail with everything and it makes a great video i don't know if you accept request but i own a 2005 dodge neon Srt4 and i would like to see a video on one of those. Thank you for the vids and keep up the amazing videos. Love your car btw

[Sky]

Just an FYI, this damn video made me get one!

[CodeAnjel]

I feel Ike you could have driven it a lot harder but I was watching the speeds throughout the track and that’s still pretty good.

[jayespi]

Love ur videos bro! True car enthusiast 👌

[Conconboss]

How do i get to drive nice cars on a track? Do tracks let you rent a car and track it for a price?

[carlosanti]

Nice video! I have a manual 6 challenger and you pushed me to go run my car at the track..Im just scared i will fry my brakes and clutch pushing my car to the limit..

[treerexaudi]

heard a lot of great things about this car!

[seanem]

Can do you a track comparison test between this and the mustang and the camaro?

[SeeFoodDie]

This was fantastic. Any more footage to share?

[HB-ixhl]

I'm about to buy one of these but to tell you the truth this video is actually scaring me off because I'm wondering how well the car does in the turns? I know what it can do with the straight away. The question is hows the handling ? You were traveling very very slow. That's not what I'm looking for

[kevinkarvoski]

May I ask how you get to test all of these vehicles? I’ve been wanting do drive various vehicles for review purposes. But not sure how it works. I could use your knowledge! Thanks

[nealparler]

I really enjoyed the Video! TY I live near Atlanta, could you please tell me the steps to be able to go and drive on Track Day? Thank You Very Much!!!

[MohdAlfayez]

A very simple question in the SRT pages, Why did you put the "Street" engine option instead of "Track"
?

[DizzyMan]

Why is there a makeshift turn in the long straight? It just defeats the purpose of it....

[msben]

I used to own a scatpack and now a hellcat, both autos and there’s an enormous feel/perception of power difference once the hellcat hooks, especially speeds like from 60-130. They literally weight almost the same but the cat has 200 more hp and runs 10’s stock with just drag radials @124-127 in decent conditions. My scatpack felt slower than my 16’ camaro ss rental as well.

Maybe next time show it in automatic mode as well
