Maybe because they are just pre-production cars?Its much higher in the rear end than the first pic I posted. Thats more fender gap than a stock Hellcat. Somethings up with those rear springs
Or, maybe because it's set up that way for the launch?

It's for launch. It can't grip with the high horsepower unless the springs can compress.Its much higher in the rear end than the first pic I posted. Thats more fender gap than a stock Hellcat. Somethings up with those rear springs
No, it was red. I didn't spot the plate. It was stopped at a light while I was turning, it definitely had the hood, wheels, flairs and Demon logo.No one has one yet. Blue manufacturer plate on it? Probably still testing or doing car shows
They are spotted almost weekly. Minnesota:
Detroit:
Trust me, I get what you're saying. And in part I do agree. There's always the "I could take a Honda Civic and beat a P1 with enough money" argument out there.
My real stickler is the cage, the price tag, and that I don't particularly care for the commodification of speed as a purchasable widget. Yes, supercars and hypercars exist. But for the longest time it took talent, time, and dedication to be fast at the drag strip. Now it's as easy as going to the local dealership and breaking out a check book.
I miss the good ol days and i'm not even old.
Ordered my Demon last week. MSRP. A hair over 91K with leather seats, stereo, red seat belts, black hood, 4 seats and engine block heater. Demon crate which comes with $7,000 in parts is a $1 option and can be ordered when I get the car.
I was a Ford guy forever. But the wait for the new GT500 has been forever. I've had a 2015 Challenger Hellcat and told everyone I was waiting for the new GT500. It never came. So Demon it is.
I feel like Dodge has totally F#$Ked Ford and Chevy's plans up. Look at the Demon hype. Nobody is talking about the GT350 or ZL1 1LE anymore. Dodge understands the US market. People want to go fast in a STRAIGHT LINE in America.
There's also the branding. Tell someone you drive a ZL1 1LE and watch their face. Tell them you drive a DEMON. That's good marketing.
What happened to Ford? They used to lead and now they are playing catchup big time.
And you better pray you never get in a wreck with your Demon as Dodge pretty much open yourself up to a law suit by signing that waiver stating the tires and features is not meant for the road. I talked to 4 of my lawyer friends and they all said the same thing with that as Dodge states that what comes on the car is not meant for the public roads and streets.

I doubt the crate can be ordered for a dollar after the fact. If you don't/didn't take the option when you order(ed) the car, you're setting yourself up.
Pretty cool that you got one but the only hype I see anywhere online and around is about the Z1LE lol. And back in '15 the hype was far greater for the gt350.Ordered my Demon last week. MSRP.

Gotta hand it to Dodge,......they have a killer marketing team!The internet almost broke because of the Demon launch. The ZL1 or 350 never came close to that.

Yep. Not exactly sure what hype he has seen for either the GT350 or ZL1 1LE. Surely not endless hype commercials. I made a comment in another thread, the best GT/GT350 commercial I've seen was from K&N on a regular GT doing a burnout as it left a green light.
Yep.
hmm, well I don't see it. To me the demon is a car people think is cool but wouldn't actually buy. The gt350 was non stop on here and other places including euro car site for a loooong time. Majority of the replies in the demon thread were "haaa stupid ford and chevy shakin in them boots loool" when in reality, they aren't
I agree... it's an awesome car, reason I wouldn't but one is because we don't have straight roads here and I find the price a bit hard to accept.If it wasn't $85K plus ADM I'd buy it. The car would be perfectly streetable just like Hellcat, ZL1, GT500, CTSV, etc. It has ac, warranty, 4 tires so it can turn when needed. It's a monster of a car.
