That premiere gave me the chills and I still haven`t picked my jaw up from the floor.....
Dodge has a road course destroyer in the ACR, and now a drag destroyer in the Demon.
Dodge wins the award for most insane automaker of all time

Here`s a little info, I put it in the other thread but thought some might find it here.
Demon
NHRA has already outlawed it, no roll cage, net, etc. It says if they could get few more miles per hour out of it in the 1/4, it would need a parachute to run NHRA.
That looks to be an awesome machine and they say it`s a street/strip car so they`re obviously not selling it with a "race car" title.
Looks like they`re releasing the 707 HP TrackHawk too.

Our club had Demon release party, Dodge sent 2 Demon banners, solo cups with hellcat and Demon on them, Demon shot glasses, Demon hand fans, stickers. Dodge does killer job on marketing that`s for sure. Today being official release they have more up the sleeve, the crate to be revealed.

Detailers Workshop
IF you though people crashing hellcats less than a mile from the dealer was crazy, imagine this thing...
I get it for the track, but that kind of power on the street is dumb, the power levels may have changed but it sand, oil, and cold roads never changes... and of course the occasional idiot behind the wheel.

$100/HP...lol. Haven`t seen any prices yet, but I imagine after dealer markup maybe even up to 90k-100k?

dodge didn`t appreciate dealers marking up the hellcats, so much that they didn`t allow them any further allocation until they dumped their inventory
I know a dealership that won`t charge our club a penny of markup, but they prolly only get allocated one or two Demons.
nobody is buying hellcats,,its great..i have had some dealers offer me ridiculous prices on brand new inventory
I personally don`t like the demon..the wide flares look silly to me..yea its a beast but a hellcat would be plenty for this guy

When equipped with the Direction Connection Performance Parts powertrain control module, the driver can use 100+ high-octane unleaded fuel in any drive mode.
Drivers can also select line lock, which engages the front brakes to hold the Challenger SRT Demon stationary but leaves the rear wheels free for a burnout to heat up and clean the rear tires. The system will also let the driver perform a controlled rolling burnout. The system engages for up to 400 rear wheel revolutions.
Performance Pages also includes rpm-adjustable launch control and by-individual-gear-adjustable shift light displayed in the instrument cluster. A new data recorder feature lets the Challenger SRT Demon driver build an archive of data to help optimize the car for track and weather conditions, while helping to improve driving techniques.
Eco and Valet Modes are accessed in the Performance Pages. When Valet Mode is activated, engine horsepower is reduced and rpm is limited to 4,000. Also, certain performance features, such as steering wheel paddle shifters and Launch Control, are disabled. The driver can activate and de-activate Valet Mode with a four-digit PIN code they create.
Functional and Intimidating Design
The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is the widest Challenger ever and first-ever, factory-production muscle car with wide-body fender flares.
The wide body flares are designed to amplify the Challenger SRT Demon’s menacing stance, while making room for wider tires with concealed attachments. The fender flares, which cover the lightweight 18x11-inch wheels with exclusive, specifically designed Demon-branded 315/40R18 Nitto NT05R drag radial tires front and rear; add 3.5 inches to the Challenger SRT Demon’s overall width. The front side marker lights are styled to flow with the shape of the fender flares.
The entire chassis is e-coated for durability before final assembly.
Additional defining exterior features include the wide Air-Grabber™ hood scoop – the largest functional hood scoop (45.2 square inches) of any production car – and new Demon logos flanking each fender.
The driver is the focus in the interior of the Challenger SRT Demon, as it is for every model in the Challenger lineup.
Both the front passenger seat and rear seat, along with their corresponding seat belts, are deleted in the standard configuration of the Challenger SRT Demon.
Customers have the option of adding seats into the car, as well as adding leather coverings, when it is ordered. The front seat(s) have the Demon head logo stitched or embossed into the seat back.
Seating configurations:
Facing the driver is a flat-bottom SRT Performance steering wheel wrapped in Alcantara with paddle shifters. The SRT white-face gauges include a 200-mph speedometer and flank the 7-inch thin-film transistor (TFT) cluster display screen. A custom carbon fiber instrument panel badge with “Demon” script is located on the outboard vent and signifies the build sequence number.
A new four-point harness bar, available through Speedlogix, is available for use at the track. Mounting points for the bar are accessible, making it easy for customers to install without cutting or drilling anything.
Standard cloth seats include Ballistic II inserts with silver embroidered Demon head logo in the seat backs. An optional Laguna Leather Package includes leather covered seats and trim with embossed Demon head logo.
The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon will be available 14 exterior colors: B5 Blue, Billet Silver, Destroyer Grey, F8 Green, Go Mango, Granite Crystal, Indigo Blue, Maximum Steel, Octane Red, Pitch Black, Plum Crazy, TorRed, White Knuckle and Yellow Jacket.
All exterior colors are available with Satin Black hood, roof and decklid.
