Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

My 2026 Charger Drag Build is FINALLY FINISHED!

Evan Shanks posted nothing new this week, leaving a substantial garage update for viewers to catch up with: "My 2026 Charger Drag Build is FINALLY FINISHED!" The title celebrates a completed build, but the description makes an important distinction. He has rewired the entire car; the first start is what he says should come in the next video.

That update has reached roughly 30,000 views. Behind it sits a particularly involved transmission project, developed with Brian at Applied Torque Solutions. The earlier upload combines components from two ZF transmissions with a standalone controller, aiming to preserve the Charger's factory mounting points and driveline geometry. Shanks describes the transmission as capable of handling around 1,200 wheel horsepower, not a measured output from the finished car.

The channel's strongest viewing momentum, though, belongs to "The Truth About My Crash with Taylor Hull at LS Fest..." Shanks reviews broadcast and onboard footage of their tandem runs, gives his account of the contact and aftermath, and argues for stricter safety standards around braking and functioning brake lights.

Subscribers held steady, and daily viewing is running well below the channel's usual level. Among nearby motoring channels, George J Saliba had a much busier week, while Shanks had the smallest weekly views gain of the group. For readers following the Charger rather than the track discussion, the latest build update leaves the project at a very specific threshold: wired, but awaiting that first start.
