"Let’s repeat that. The Dodge Demon is NOT “banned” from dragstrips"

I remember when people with 930s were crashing them when they first came out. Then the vipers, some people would not know how to corner the car.

Some people will crash cool cars. Some easier than others.

I myself do not think the R&D dollars would have flowed into the development of the engine in the Demon if it was constrained like the newer COPO camaros.


So with that said, I am fine with how the car is being rolled out, as a production vehicle.

Dodge Credits the 840-HP Demon for Increased Challenger Sales

At first glance, the 840-hp Dodge Challenger SRT Demon doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It makes way more power than anyone could ever need their road car to have, most American's can't afford it, and only a few thousand will ever be built. But Dodge says it didn't build the Demon to sell Demons. It built the Demon to sell regular Challengers. And apparently, that plan is working, even though Dodge still hasn't actually delivered a Demon to a single customer.

Speaking to the Detroit News, TimKuniskis,FCA's head of passenger cars, said Challenger sales are up, and he credits the Demon."We haven't built the first one yet, but people have been talking about this car since January," he said. "So the hype has been building and selling other Challengers. Our Challenger sales are through the roof. We're having an all-time record year to date."

These cars are simply amazing. Here is what we are doing with Hellcats, Just Bolt ons and pump gas. There is another 75hp available on race Fuel or e85.

Think about the sales increase if the "COPO" was like this, streetable, but barely. The ZL1 should have been the Z28 (I know old arguments) and the Z28, the ZL1!

Took at little road test in a new demon this weekend,all i can say is wow loads of torque and awesome power that just seems endless, if u have one ordered i guarantee it will put a smile on your face!!!

About 6 months ago I purchased a 2014 Shelby GT-500 with some simple bolt ons, smaller blower pulley, etc, that makes 710 Hp to the rear wheels, but if you know when to apply the power, and in the right conditions, it is controllable. Even in third gear, it will spin the tires and the rear will kick out. Just be conservative and use your head and get a feel for the car in an open, safe stretch of road, learn the limits, and what happens at those limits. A lot of my learning experiences have come from "showing off" and some of the results have not been good....
