So I highly doubt the demon is a high 9 sec car. I'm thinking mid 10's, possibly low 10's. The reason I say this is if you have been watching there videos, they leave "Easter eggs" for clues. They just released a video and at the end there was a very quick scroll through of their performance pages and I was able to slow it down and read it. Looks like 0-60 in 3.0 and 1/4 in 10.5 @129. So I would expect the claim time to be around there. Seems very possible that a 755 HP mustang with AWD could run close to that.

why do you keep thinking it will be AWD?

That's probably without the race fuel button/tune. They are saying it will add about 100hp. Word is high 9s. Your probably not going to drive it around town with race fuel tho..

Maybe. That's a serious boost from race fuel. I thought it was more rumor then anything regarding the fuel button/tune.

I highly doubt it'll be anything near 9 seconds. I doubt it'll even brake the 10s in factory trim.

If you believe the clues we are given, 6.6 @ 123 mph in the 1/8th means that whoever was driving during that run lifted. Car should have run a much higher mph in the quarter (140s). The launch also sucked. The 1.4 gs they are showing indicates that it will launch as hard as a P100D 0-60 in the 2.2s If this was from a test run, a competent driver will run deep into the nines all day. Put the seats back in it and it will be the perfect street terror.

The insiders know and have given hints of it being high 9s. The race fuel button changes the tune of the car adding around 90hp. Will come stock with just over 800hp.

The Demon does 0-60 in 3 seconds. Does the quarter mile at 10.5 @ 129.
Very impressive for a car off the showroom floor.

Weight should be roughly 4250 in lightest form, but I hear seats and other things will be options so goes up from there. Rear tire diameter I believe is expected to be 315. The others I don't know.

That would be pretty impressive if they can add 100 hp and shave 230lbs and go from high 10's, low 11's to high 9's.

Well at 4200 pounds without driver and a 10.40@130mph = 720 crank hp.

Yes, they will debut it at around 810 HP. They are underrated from factory, a bit like the 13/14 GT500 was except more so. They typically dyno around 40 to 50 hp over said HP. The Demon will actually dyno at around 850HP.

Could be thatthe 810 HP is WITH race fuel. Still, would dyno around 850.

We're good friends you and I. But I don't believe this.
