Demon 170
- Thread starter Booky
- Start date
Actually I LOVE the no flare up front. #1 its lighter, #2 its more drag efficient, #3 its CLEARLY identifiable as a DEMON 170 from the front or the side.
Try figuring that out with an original Demon, Redeye, Super Stock or JB in a WB. They ALL look the exactly the same other than the emblem which is really hard to see from a distance.
You think anyone knows I have a Redeye over a standard Hellcat? No one can see that little RED eye from more than 5 feet away lol. Same with Widebody Scats. They look EXACLY like a Demon from a distance.
At least with the no front flare its immediately identifiable as a Demon 170.

Does anyone remember the original Demon days?
Dodge sold/built the first cars with proof of purchase at MSRP by individuals not dealers.
Dealers could and did order (and still could charge ADM) but their cars were built last of the the 3300 cars built.
I already have a WB Challenger Hellcat manual car ‘on order’ and I already threw it out there that if they do the same thing with this Demon and selling the first cars at MSRP that I’m a buyer.
My contact said that after the owner gets back we would talk as he already said he’s trying to get one of the first manual cars built and offered me an original Demon at MSRP back in the day.
That ‘MSRP orders built first’ was a very last minute announcement and I still remember having 2-3hrs to make that decision—declined and still regret it.
Pretty amazing that they’re making this car.

I always use E70 as the cutoff but unless you’re running it hard with max timing, Ethanol fuel has a large tuning window and detonation resistance.
On a ‘soft’ factory tune the E65 doesn’t surprise me. Now give me some E90 and 4-6deg more timing please

Lol, sorry you’ll have to forgive me as I was making a joke. I was making a joke about the black hawk because of all their wild names they have. “Black ghost, track hawk, jail break, etc”. Thank you both for correcting that it was a Twin Rotor Kamen “K-Max” K1200 Helicopter.Twin-rotor Kamen "K-Max" K-1200 helicopter

The original demon was dope. Everything else, meh.
Seeing them flog the 7th collector edition of a platform that is in its second decade is sad at this point. It's not even an exciting platform. I prefer my truck to my hellcat.
It's like getting excited to see the Rolling Stones on tour in 2023. Sad.
His track record of getting crushed by procharged Mustangs and Frankenstein civics is unblemished.
Not to mention the dudes a complete snake and douche bag on top of that
E85 is wonderful. Heck, I daily drive it in my Ranger (E50 tune).
They kill it with the marketing. Always have. Even in the 60's and 70's.
Exactly man. Really bums me out that this could be the end of an era. But cool to see all the crazy vehicles that are rolling out from an enthusiast standpoint.

Meh, the Ev Daytona is going to flop, look for the hemi comeback in 5 years.
Pessimism in me says just watch motorsports die... the people have proven time and time again that they'll do nothing
I can see that but how can you not respect/want a new 1025hp muscle car.
No truck I’d prefer to that but I buy lots of cool new stuff. If I can get one for MSRP I’m buying this one.
3300 should be more than they’ve built CFTP in one year no?

Gotta give credit to dodge for putting out vehicles no one asked for yet everyone wants!
According to several HC Facebook groups I belong to, dealerships are trying to sell these things with up to a 200K markup!?!?
People are paying 50k+ over msrp for a Raptor R pickup. No surprise on this markup.
For sure. Flared front (and rear) decreased performance and tiny teeny wee bit. But then again, so does the rear. At that point, might as well de-flare. To me, it looks unbalanced. Off. Not complete. Also, to me, the wide body cats are some of the best looking cars of our times. Just love the look. I‘ll take the ”hit”.
Also, I really dont care if the average dude cant tell what my car is or cant tell it apart from other cats. A true car guy will, thats the “metric” that maters to me.
