Musto welcomes guest Kevin Wesley of Wesley Motorsports, who has recent experience with the Hornet in Musto's A Swarm of One series on YouTube. The pair is also joined by a few familiar names and big personalities from the Dodge Enthusiast Tour - if anyone knows Dodge, power and the Brotherhood of Muscle - it's this group of misfits that travel nationwide all year long to spread Dodge cheer. After each getting behind the wheel of the Hornet, they've come together to talk about the experience that left them, well, mostly surprised. Give it a listen to find out why you should give the most powerful compact utility vehicle in the segment a chance! Plus, let us know in the comments if you recognize some of these voices from Dodge events near you.
