Dodge SRT Demon Announced

[Accumulator]

512detail- IMO a whole lot of the HP wars end up just being bench-racing bragging rights for most owners. The power levels get beyond what the tires/platform/driver can handle IRL.

And, noting my goofy-conservative sensibilities, the black plastic aero-aids on that car look utterly atrocious to me, wouldn`t be caught dead in it. Probably would`ve loved it 40 years ago though.

agree. the rear diffuser is a little funny looking...BUT, take my SRT up to 140 and you`ll wish you had it, lol

Heh heh, I bet your SRT is still better up there than my sedans by a pretty wide margin

Honestly, I`d rather have something that I liked looking at even if it meant I had to keep the top speed reasonable. But then I don`t do the Silver State/etc. thing either.

Eh, my last `vette and the Porsches were all nice and stable at [I won`t say how fast] and they still looked nice.

yea I used to see the back end of my speedo when I was a younger, more silly fellow...now I rarely see it past Back To The Future Delorean time traveling speeds

never knew what aero lift was until I bought this car, lol

In my neck of the woods, triple-digits = car impounded/driver into custody. Guess how Autopian a car is by the time you get it back from the impound yard That`d bug me a lot more than a few hours in the can.

the toll road is 85 here.. and its a couple miles from my house

you can see some people breaking many laws out there ,lol

not me though....85 is a nice calm whine for my SRT and fast enough to drive legally that I am satisfied

Do they let you off with just a citation for anything under 104? I could live with that most of the time.

Yeah, different vehicles/people have different, uhm...natural rythm speeds...where everything just seems right. 85 is about perfect for me in the Tahoe, can`t recall taking it higher since forever.

I think texas law is 24 over but not to exceed 95 for potential for wreckless driving..but that was a while back last time I checked

Haven`t gotten any tickets in my SRT and I`ve had it since 2009

Huh, that 95 limit for Officer`s Discretion would`ve bitten Accumulatorette, she skated with merely a (written lower no less) citation for 96/60 once! But at triple-digits you`re getting hooked up here, period. Wish I knew what the rules were for WVA, might oughta look into that sometime. Credit where credit is due- WVA HP troopers are always *really* nice, write tickets down to nearly-nothing and have even told me "you`re clear to the end of the turnpike, I`m the last radar until the tollboth".

And yeah, I haven`t gotten cited for years either, just warnings, and the last guy who did write me up actually apologized (he was the "chase car" in a laser trap where they were trying out their new toy, said he would`ve just given me a warning but it was already in the system).

Now that we`ve taken this way off-topic (yeah, again, I`m bad ) it just goes to show how people who buy cars like Hellcats *and who don`t track them* aren`t buying the actual performance in the sense of actually using/needing it, huh? No, no...I`m not being critical at all! Just saying...

[MattPersman]

Oh yeah for sure around here I always say a hellcat is useless unless you just want to say you have one. 35 mph speed limits and round about.

If you buy a Demon you have to buy it in red. I take that back there is a Blue Demon (DePaul). Lol

Ditto for a whole lotta vehicles IMO, or at least the ultra-spec versions/options.

in highschool I got 81 in a 35 for street racing and since I was the only one who pulled over the cop just wrote me a ticket and when I went to court the person who went before me in front of the judge was a real Ahole and he got a few extra fines put on him for contempt etc, and the judge apparently liked me because she let me do defensive driving for that ticket and it went away

512detail- heh heh, glad it turned out so well for you! Me?...eh, back when I was young and foolish I lost my license for years on end, and yeah my older less foolish self thinks I sure had it coming.

To some extent it`s no longer how fast you can go, it`s now how fast can you get to how fast you`re allowed to go
