Upload a nonsense video and then sit, count the views, and watch the money pour in. That is some YouTubers' strategy, and apparently, it gets them rich. So here is the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat boat that broke all rules and laws. If you want to try getting rich like that, skip the law-breaking. Keep in mind that this is a parody. Well, most of it, anyway.
Is it a boat? Is it a shark? Well, not really. But a HEMI-powered Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is something you would not expect to see in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Sounds like the worst thing you could do in the water together with dumping "16 quadrillion gallons of oil, car batteries, battery acid, diesel fuel," as a less-than-a-second message reads on the screen during the footage.
Of course, they did not do all these (hopefully!). It is just one more way of mocking environmentalists and authorities. Actually, they found a lot of plastic thrown in the ocean before they brought the car there.
Last year, Cody brought an eight-wheel monster truck to the water and got a visit from a coastguard helicopter. A helicopter shows up this time as well, but there is no word on what they are there for. It hovers around the car for a while and then flies off. Off fly the paddles from the wheels as well, once Cody pushes the throttle pedal to the floor. He eventually finds out that brakes don’t really work in the water.
Once the HEMI-powered 717-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat hits the water, everybody starts filming. Cody switches to the Track Mode and the car throws water 200 feet (61 meters) away. At least, that is what the WhistlingDiesel team claims. Police officers are watching their every move from the shore.
He drops the anchor when he wants to "park" the car, while he wears a Coastguard cap. He wants to smash a bottle of champagne against the hood, as customary for boats. But he hits it again and again and only manages to put dent after dent on the hood and deform the upper side of the fenders.
Back on land, Cody takes the Hellcat to the Freedom Factory in Bradenton, Florida, for some donuts with the massive aluminum wheels used as paddles on water. At the front, the car wears a wheel in black and another one in red finish.
He’s gonna stop at nothing, so he keeps spinning those improvised wheels until they totally deform and start cutting into the body of the Dodge so bad that it becomes painful to watch. Don’t be surprised if this car right here shows up on the used car, listed as crash-free, driven by a granny, never abused.
But before that happens, the 12-minute video gathered almost six million views. And counting.
