At least Dodge is telling us stuff about the Demon. They could be like Ford and be all hush, hush like the GT500.

I know I would not pay $100k for a current Dodge. I drove a Challenger HC & it did nothing for me. JMO. Give me a used Gen5 Viper for $75k or whatever.
I was tempted on the Viper, but needed room for a baby seat...so the Charger Hellcat had to do
There wouldnt be ceramic rotors, those really only have heat benefits on road course driving, there's little to no weight advantage with them.
That picture of the components in the rear is definitely calipers though. Perhaps a "brembo" style aluminum fixed caliper instead of the traditional, cast, floating style.
I also am not sure they would delete the PS system on a car that's probably going to be just shy of 4000 lbs and have a tire on the front that starts with a 3. Talk about an absolute nightmare to drive.
Electric power steering maybe?
Passenger seat option: Add $1,495 LOLLol, knowing Mopar this will be for the road. Passenger seat optional lmao
It'll have one seat and still be able to be daily driven if wanted?I just read that the Demon will only have one seat. If true, I guess we know it's going after the COPO Camaro & CobraJet market

I wouldn't count on a GT500. Doesn't seem to fit the whole global market strategy.

They built the GT350 and it was only for NA.

So if you buy one you'll get your crate with your name engrave on it and race track stuff in it.
This amazing that a car company is going back to doing this kind of stuff. I seriously question how much this thing is going to cost. I just hope FCA dont **** this up with supply issues or something.
I think with the new Raptor, the RS, the GT350, and the FGT, there wasn't a lot of room left at that point to be building a GT500 with the team they had. Even DBK mentioned this.and drove away an entire portion of their customer base, as these individuals who care more about speed vs 'how nimble it is on the track' are now buying hellcats. Hell probably 80% of the HC owners that come through my shop used to have 13-14 GT500s, and were pushed toward the HC because the GT350 is so unappealing to their tastes / desires.
There should have been a GT350 for the track guys, and a GT500 for the guys who couldnt care less about tracking a car. Like they did with the Boss 302
