I'll take this a step further and say 85% of these probably will never even see any pavement beneath their tires, as all of them are going to be in climate controlled garages with only 5 to 35 miles on them.

But yes got to love spending stupid money on a banned car at all dragstrips/ tracks. Now to see if Fiat, Chrysler abysmal reliability raises it's head on these or not and see just how many recalls and fixes it'll need in the next 5 years.

I spy sour grapes! Lol...

Just don't pull up with your vette next to one. You'll be totally embarrassed.

SERIOUSLY EMBARRASSED.

Not by most drivers out there. Remember, most people that buy cars like this suck at driving. I guarantee most people will not pull a 1.3 60' out of it.
Is this what the car will actually look like now, a rebadged Challenger with a hood & flares?

I didn't think about that. Is vmp releasing their 2.7l tomorrow then? Lol

LOL I wish, But I do know for 100% that the tvs2650 was under contract for a production car first before it could go to the aftermarket.

Wait so where did they state it was a tvs? Bc the hellcats blower is a twin screw and they look identical.

I dont know for sure, as I didn't see specifics. I know the current hellcat uses a 2.4ts. I'm assuming its a tvs2650 rotor pack as they said it was a 2.7L blower in the video, everything has been quiet on the tvs2650 front since the initial announcement, and eaton said when it was first announced that a production car was going to get it first.

Some quotes from this allpar article... http://www.allpar.com/news/2017/04/the-2018-demon-everything-there-is-to-know-37153

"Also, while those record numbers were achieved with the skinny wheels up front and the high octane race fuel computer from the Demon crate, the numbers aren’t all that bad in the Demon’s basic form. With the stock computer system running on premium gasoline (91+) and the huge 315 Nittos up front, the new supercharged Challenger will still lift the front wheels off of the ground on launch and it will still run a 9-second quarter mile – 9.90 to be exact."

"Best of all, a Dodge representative confirmed that while the torque convertor is designed to “Stall” around 2,350rpm, launching with the stock drag radials to get the numbers mentioned above will have racers leaving the line around just 2,000rpm – so there is room to improve for those folks who swap to a full slick tire."

"While the Demon doesn’t come with a front passenger seat, a rear seat or trunk trim from the factory, buyers can add each of those items as an option for a dollar. Seriously – the front passenger seat costs $1, the back seat costs $1 and the trunk trim costs $1. That Demon Crate with the skinny front wheels, the tools, the high performance PCM, the new switch panel and a few other odds and ends also costs $1, so if you check all of the boxes for those items, it adds $4 to the final price."

"When the Demon buyer orders his or her new Mopar muscle car, that person’s name is applied to the Demon Crate which has a matching VIN to the car. This cannot be ordered blank, so dealerships will be forced to provide a name and if they just put the dealership name or a generic name – it will make the car less attractive to some buyers. With this system, dealers almost have to order the car with an actual buyer lined up, which should help curb the massive markups."

"All-wheel drive was never a consideration for the Demon. The car essentially comes with four rear tires, but having those big, sticky tires up front makes the car far safer for road use than the race skinnies. In fact, even with the smaller (than the Hellcat) front brakes, the Demon will get stopped from 60 miles per hour in just 98 feet. That is supercar-like stopping performance."

"The Demon comes with the standard FCA warranty of three-year/36,000-mile bumper to bumper coverage and five-year/60,000-mile limited powertrain coverage. This warranty covers problems which occur on the dragstrip, even when running on 100-octane fuel, but it only covers the car in stock form. Any aftermarket engine tuning, adding nitrous, swapping to a smaller pulley or other power-adding goodies will impact the warranty, but in bone-stock form, damage which occur at your local test-n-tune should be covered. In other words, the Demon is literally a 9.65 quarter mile car with a drivetrain warranty."

The Hellcats are pretty awnry at the launch. They are very, very tricky. This is why there were so many HCs at the track pulling horrible times. Hardest vehicle I Have attempted to launch. Mustang was a breeze to launch compared to this thing.

Knowing that, I would assume that Demon will be a bit similar. It's going ot take folks a bit to learn how to drive them properly due to the nature of the car; big, heavy, tons of torque and hp, and, what seems like, never enough rubber.

Like I said enjoy your banned car and why you can't run it at any track in the US. Unless you dump another $5000 and cutting it up to qualify it.

1 Full welded interior cage.

2 push pull fuel cut off

3 fire suit/jacket helmet

4 fire extinguisher/ suppression system.

And a few other odds and ends I'm probably forgetting

I still stand by my 85% of these will never be on the road other than the odd car show here and there.
