Moving for sure !
I can’t bring myself to take my Demon to the next level. Maybe I need a redeye which would give me a black eye from she who must.

I guess I am just the odd man out. Isn't the redeye is suppose to be the handling versions??? I would rather see you expand on that instead of doing what the demon does. It is dumb IMO to make any and every variant fast in a straight line when the brand build a trim specifically for straight line.

Cool its fast in a straight line....welcome to 197( enter whatever year you want) show me a muscle car that gets me sub 10s and handles then you have my interest. If not you are doing the same thing since the 03/04 cobra ......


Yea yea yea but but but only xXxX dollars in mods and it hits x.xx 1/4mi times ....yea ok but it's 2020 I want more , I want you to show me 1/4mi time AND how it handles. ANYBODY can make ANYTHING fast in a straight line only...

Isn't the redeye suppose to be the lightweight better handing version?

Nothing lightweight about it, lol.
It is supposed to be the 'better handing' version of the Hellcat/Demon world, but it does really good going straight with a quickness.

^^ The redeye has nothing to do with being "better handling" lol.

The red eye is basically a Hellcat with a demon engine. Done deal. Everything else is the same. The widebody version gets different wheels and tires obviously and I believe different shocks but that's about it. And you CAN get a redeye NON widebody.

The regular hellcat has a 2.4L blower and the demon/redeye has a 2.7L blower and different pistons, etc.

If that were true you’d only see 8sec cars on any given track night but that’s not the case. You obviously have never been on a drag strip let alone gone fast so go cry to mommy.

Challengers/Chargers are on an ancient chassis and are heavy cars. Not really a good platform to make a "handling" car. Plus, they're selling the shit out of these straight line cars! From a business standpoint, why would they? People love the product, they're buying them and it wasn't designed to be a good handling car.

Ford and Chevy don't have a "straight line" Mustang or Camaro. Granted the GT500 just came out but they're late to the game. So I think it's cool Dodge is pretty much the only company making fast straight line muscle cars.

I never was a Dodge guy, ever. I had a ton of cars throughout my life, but something about the Hellcat was just cool. I bought it to be a muscle car and it does that very well.

Sir, who does your tuning or are these canned Diablosport canned tunes? Armando Solis 2019 Redeye Owner
I work for Diablosport, this is our in house R&D vehicle. The goal is to demonstrate our tuning capabilities, which I think it does rather well. There are countless hellcats and redeyes that make quite a bit more power than we are at this stage, but few that run as fast and consistently.

The canned tunes we offer for the Redeye knocked .3 and added 2.8 mph over stock as I recall from our initial testing.

We are hoping to offer a 9 second tune/pulley/injector offering based on this tune, fingers crossed.

In all fairness, nothing we have done has taken away from the vehicles handling capabilities, short of swapping the wheels and tires.
There are several reviews out there where they compared a redeye to either a Mustang or Camaro, and in each case the car was out classed in the handling department. It does an amazing job for being a 4500 pound beast, and the magnetic ride system works very well, but in the end it will never handle like a proper sports car without a ton of weight reduction and suspension modification.

As mentioned above, it’s an R&D vehicle for us and we don’t do suspension parts. Would be cool to see one of the big suspension houses take one on, but they seem to focus on Mustang/Camaro as well

“I want track focused handling, this needs to do everything, go fast, turn, stop, I want it all”

Haters gonna hate. 4500lb car that goes low 9’s and traps 140’s with simple bolt ons. What world do we live in when that isn’t impressive?

HoW DoEs It HaNdlE?
ITs NoT $5k iN bOlTonS, iTs $9k

news flash, if the difference between $5k and $9k in mods means anything to you, then you need to step back to the children’s table. Definitely miss my charger hellcat.
