In this episode, Top Gear’s Richard Hammond, also known as the “Hamster”, took the all-American classic 1968 Dodge Charger R/T out for a spin to see how it rides. The Charger R/T, one of our personal “dream garage cars” was fitted with improved suspension, heavy-duty brakes, dual exhaust, and of course, the all-mighty 440 V8 Magnum engine (7.2-liters, 375 bhp) combined with a Torqueflite 727 3-speed auto or optionally, with a 4-speed manual gearbox. As much as they would have liked to, Top Gear avoided practicing their usual mischief on the R/T so don’t except to see any explosions or cliff jumps (thank God), just your usual Brit sarcasm. -Video after the jump
