In an effort to regain their lost glory, Drive Channel teamed up with Road & Track magazine to stage one epic challenge involving the Dodge Challenger Hellcat and an F16 Fighter Jet. One can already see where this is going.
Even though the rain dampened the mood a bit and ruined any chance the Dodge Challenger Hellcat might have had to show the jet what 707 horsepower can do, you still don’t want to miss this clip. The best of what the American car industry has to offer right now takes on the might of U.S. Air Force. Place your bets!
