Road Grip.
In a word Impressive. Hit hard curves at 90+MPH and the Fat Nitto's held like the car was on rails. Not 1LE impressive..but a tremendous improvement over the Perrelli P-Zeros on the Hell Cat. Brake rotors are actually smaller on the demon when compared to the Hell Cat. I am told it is due to the lighter weight of the demon. Brembo's still stop you like NOW. Little Arrow on the wheel is there when you lower the tire pressure at the strip. You mark the tire at the arrow point and burn them. Check the mark again to observe for bead slippage prior to launch. |

Wow! A customer of mine recently took delivery of a Demon identical to this car. I have yet had to opportunity to drive it but after reading your thread I better put my big boy pants (and diaper) on. You should write for an auto publication. You make it very interesting and exciting to read. Thanks for sharing Phil.

IMO... the ZL-1 likely has a pulley and an E-85 conversation.
Intersting none the less. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jHWtE_010Ls |

E-85 conversion.

----I believe I have heard that brand new Demon's are programed not to get full throttle until the ODO passes 500 miles. Maybe this was the case here?......Bill S

You have full throttle when new. Chrysler may elect not honor the warranty if you exceed 3000 RPM on average over the first 500 mile break in period.

The video discusses the Demon being driven all the way back from Texas, so it is likely it was over 500 miles. IMO.. Even with 200 HP worth of modifications, I cannot see the Demon giving up that much distance to the ZL1 - unless he was spraying NOS via an LSA blower plate. If that's the case then the video begins to look rational.
