Episode 11 of the Dodge Badassador Podcast comes to you from Roadkill Nights, where Jose Pretel, Ricky Radford, and Sal Cordova sit down with Dodge CEO Matt McAlear for an unfiltered conversation about the future of Dodge performance.

Matt addresses the criticism surrounding the new Charger, explains why the 600-horsepower Super Bee is only the beginning, and delivers a message directly to the keyboard warriors: “F the haters.”

Let’s talk about:

• The new 600-horsepower Dodge Charger Super Bee
• How the Super Bee compares with the original 2015 Hellcat
• Bigger turbos, improved cooling, upgraded brakes, and track-ready suspension
• What Direct Connection and the aftermarket have planned for the SIXPACK platform
• Why Dodge believes performance is bigger than an engine configuration
• The possibility of 50–75 factory paint colors
• Dodge entering competitive drifting with manual-transmission Charger builds
• Toxic Orange, Ch-ching Green, and upcoming Durango options
• The Dodge x Under Armour collaboration
• Roadkill Nights, grudge racing, Time Attack, and what Dodge has planned next

Jonathan Rimbo couldn’t join the table because he was preparing his SIXPACK Charger for the following day’s grudge race—but Matt still reveals whether he thinks Jonathan has what it takes to win.
