Isn’t the whole point of the Demon to kick up dust in forums like this? It is an undrivable “street” car that you cannot actually race because it does not have a roll cage. It is purpose built for internet pissing contests.

Not to mention it is a $100,000 Dodge Challenger. Let me repeat that: A $100k Dodge Challenger. For about the same money you can get a lightly used ZL1 and a lightly used Predator for the summer. Or a 2018 5.0 and Procharger and fuel system and take the rest and fill a swimming pool with gold coins so you can bathe Scrooge McDuck style. Or a Hellcat Challenger and a Dodge Ram pickup. Or a 2017 Z06 with a tune and cams and a shitton of bitcoin. I can go on and on.

So it is not really a street car, but is it even a drag car? Those that are really interested in cars that run <10 like to create them with their own hands, not buy something off of a dealer lot. What mods can you do to a Demon that can make it any faster? Who is going to modify it anyways? How many of these are actually going to be raced? I feel like the target buyer is a wannabe Jay Leno that can point to it and rattle off how fast it is without ever actually beating on it.

Rant off.


1) Undrivable street car? How so?

2) How does having no roll cage stop you from racing the car?

3) $100K? You must be including a Dealer markup of $15K because last time I checked, the MSRP was around $85K.

I will go back through this cluster when I have time. I’m sure more awards will be given. I will give some explanation of why I do what I do and why. As I’ve mentioned, I usually don’t watch this section regularly or a bunch of others.
Yes, OP is trolling.

People are already in the 9s @136. More seat time and right conditions and we will see 9.65. Regardless, with race gas, the Demon is Dyno'ing 780bhp to the wheels. How the hell is Ford going to Kill that?

Demon is legit as hell and I want one, but id be lying if I didn't say I was disappointed by that 780 performance.

I thought for sure it would be ~820-850 at the tire to support the 140 trap speed at 4250 lbs.

Both.
CJ--->no VIN, no tags, no legal
We've had this dumb obvious argument several times.

Again why is slicks and skinnies on a car you want to drive on the street. This is the dumb part of the stock legal Demon.

The demon is a hell of a car, I’m still waiting to hear what it can with the optional street package.

I posted lol. Knew it would get some flack. All you Demon lovers should go to a DODGE DEMON forum if you love the "Not running 9's on the street beast"! 5.2 Supercharged Cobra Jet motor is the same motor as the new GT500. It will be a beast.

In light of recent threads I just want to say one thing and that is, why are we talking about Demons and CJ's? It's pointless. We all know the true king of the strip and that is the bone stock 03/04 Cobra....... Forget about its legendary trunk space and just focus on how fruitless it is to release the new GT500 and Demon's. Throw four kegs in the back of the Cobra and enough water bottles to survive the impending zombie apocalypse for 5 years and the car still couldn't be touched.

=D
