Dodge Challenger Demon

[tritus]

Next year will be a good time to get a crazy deal on a Hellcat, but who would want one? A measly 707hp is pathetic. Imagine the cringe when the Demon pulls up next to you on several times on your commute to work. (sarcasm)

Seriously, how much will this cause crazy discounts on the Hellcat? If they drop to $50k, it might push me to get one.

You can find some crazy deals right now, 10-12k off msrp is possible.

It's a dedicated drag car. Ford and chevy have already done this, they just dont have VINS or titles

Dodge has been selling Drag Pak cars just like the Cobra Jet and COPO almost since the Challenger was introduced that don't have titles or VINs too.

I thought this was pretty funny...........the night the Demon was unveiled, on another very popular Mustang forum, someone posted; Well the Demon is now out. Dodge just told GM and Ford, go get f*cked!
LMMFAO :lol: :lol:
I laughed out loud when I read that. That was pretty awesome.

This was a real gem.....salty as shit guy who makes his money tuning and doing E85+manifold porting throwing a fit and talking shit over the Demon (presumably) because a stock Challenger has the potential to waste anything he could come up with in the 1/4 mile.

You might have a 9 sec DD car, but I bet it isn't warrantied and will not pass a legitimate inspection. And I'm not taking anything away from you. If you do have a fast car then I commend you. But you can't take anything away from the Demon.
First off let me start by saying thanks for running my ported IM on Nadia. Now, back to your post.

I wasn't taking anything away from the Demon. I was calling it what it is. Either a slow factory race car, or a single purpose factory street car that won't come anywhere near those claimed times in street trim. I will bet you dollars to donuts that no one will go 9's in that car on street radials on pump gas. Not drag radials. Put all the seats in it, put regular gas in it and normal tires. It becomes another useless overpowered Dodge that will get outrun on the street by a stock Camaro in a drag race. That was my point. There are guys on the forum right now that are running similar mph with a blower and a couple boltons.

I am not sure what you mean about passing inspection. There are a ton of high HP cars that pass California SMOG. I just have to fool OBD II Where I am. Every build I have ever done has been a liscenced, tagged, inspection passing DD.

It is cool that the Demon has a warrantee but at the price what does it get you and what are the limitations of it. Put race gas, tires and strip it's contenders as it is and I am sure there are some production cars out there that will clip that car.

Like I stated above, put AWD in it and make it a nice car that handles as well and I will save every penny I have to get one.
I didn't mean to get anyone's anger aroused over this car. I was just looking through the hype to the facts.

HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
The butthurt is real.

The Demon is bad ass and Dodges marketing program was just as bad ass.

Ford WILL NOT pursue the Demon in many of its acceleration metrics, maybe get close to the Red Key/Pump Gas but no way they make a HALO Strip car. Maybe a Mach 1 GT Package...

Ford has a few advantages, MSRP, weight and drivetrain technologies. As of 2013-'14, the GT500 looked to be headed towards an IMSA GT car, called Project Silver. It would have required a large MSRP.

The ZL1 has nothing for the Hellcat and, the GT350R may very well beat it at the track... could be the absolute worst month in Camaro history.

It's a great time to be a car enthusiast! I've been hearing for about a year from someone inside Ford that the upcoming GT500 will be 850+ hp. Demon vs GT500 is going to be insane!

If they want over 808hp, they will need a 5.5 liter Coyote w/ PDI.

Not dismissing the possibility that they found more power between 808 and 850, but, this late in R&D would suggest not.

The drivetrain has been in development since 2014-ish and was being built for IMSA. Possibly at the maximum 5.5 liters and definitely NOT Supercharged.

Man,......this engine is beast!!

Damn near 750 foot lbs of torque at 3,500 RPM...

I didn't know it was secretly a Cummins.

 

[machsmith]

I'd rather have that NASCAR 429 engine. 10,000 RPM and 900HP. God, that would be a blast.
1/2 the weight of the vintage boss 429 engine with 25% more RPM and 300 hp.
What an engine... would love to throw that baby in an s550.;)

You'd be stopping at every gas station on every corner:lol:

Not EVERY corner ;) give me a 15 gallon tank and it would last me a 1/2 hr. Good enough for me

My dealer just gave me first allocation to a demon at msrp. I'd be among the first to get one. I'm passing on it for the GT500, which will be close with on the street dragging, better in comfort, looks and cornering performance. If it was a built in wide body i would have probably pulled the trigger...just to try it out.
