[QUOTE="Kaneda, post: 15827125, member: 153847"] We all know it was said. Venom Kills Demons. But do you guys really think that was a smart thing for Ford to say. Let's break it down. How in the world is the GT500 going to put down a better certified 1/4 time than 9.65@140mph? If you are going to go on record and say the GT500 KILLS a Demon...won't it have to beat this time? And everyone in the world knows the Demon was designed for the 1/4 track. Not a track. So if Ford backtracks this comment and starts saying it will Kill a Demon on lap times, they look silly. The Demon isn't designed for a track. When Dodge marketed the Demon, they didn't come out and make bold statements like this without backing them up. In fact they kept the Demon's performance numbers a total secret until the reveal @NYC AutoShow. What happens when the GT500 finally comes out and it doesn't best the Demon's certified times? Every headline is going to be...Venom Doesn't Kill Demons. I work in marketing / communications for a living. And dumb statements like this can really hurt a companies marketing efforts. Yes they will sell every GT500 they make so you could argue marketing doesn't matter. But we all know in the enthusiast community, bragging rights mean a lot to people. Now on every Demon video on YouTube the Ford fans are saying "Venom Kills Demons"...I mean come on, really? Dodge has made a stellar product and got it to customers when they said they would. Ford has taken FOREVER and a DAY to make the GT500. And where is it? When is it even coming out? By the time it arrives, you know Dodge is going to be releasing a whole new monster. My point is...Ford needs to put up or shut up. All we've had are words and nothing real to react to. I highly doubt the GT500 will KILL the Demon's record setting time. What do you think? [/QUOTE]
