Dodge Challenger SRT Demon
- Thread starter Booky
- Start date
The Demon name doesn't match the heritage...Demon was a compact with small v-8 when introduced and everyone saw it as a "yawn" car. Truth is it would run pretty well for a small block but would never keep up with the monster cars.. The SS Nova would run over it!
It will be a street car. Widebody (not true wide body, fender flares). Coming with 305 nittos. Drag suspension. Possibly no backseat. Expect 900-1000hp, at least high 800's.
Resume Speed is a dodge insider. No one knows his identity but he's been around since the beginning and has never been wrong. If he says it, you can take it to the bank. Expect very low 10's.
No AWD. 400lbs will be shaved off. The numbers at this moment point to around 800-850HP. It will handle and brake better and have line lock. Tim K. has said, in passing, that they are gunning for bigger fish.
Bad ass I hope Ford ups the ante with a new GT500!

I wonder if this is in response to the end of the Viper? If it has 850hp it will be seriously quick. Add in all the other stuff and it will be extremely hard for GM/Ford to answer.
For this car to run bottom 10's/high 9's it will need more than 850bhp. More like 850whp. Definitely a real possibility of it being marketed as 850 but it will be severely underrated.

I have a feeling Ford knows exactly what the capabilities of a hopped up Hellcat are. The next few years in the automotive world will be very interesting for sure!

Very excited to see what this car brings to the table. I might have a GT500 and CTSV for sale? And you have to admire Dodge's advertising. Whether you like Richard Rawlings or not he is bringing attention to their line up. Add great videos and some Metaillica...Win!
Don't forget a ****ing hybrid Mustang. With the new ZL1, the HC, and now a Demon, Ford is playing 3rd place in the performance wars.
Like the current hellcats are, they dyno 640-650whp all day through the 8HP
I agree Dodge's marketing and commercials are great.

If you want a heavy car that is only really good in a straight line, buy the Dodge. If you want a car that is (lighter) and handles well, the GT350 is for you. Personally, I wish cars are smaller and lighter, not heavier with more power thrown at it.
I have to agree with you. Given a choice, I'd take a GT-350 over any Hellcat. I prefer my muscle to be on the trim side. JMO. That said, I give Dodge credit for pushing the big power envelope wide open. Dodge is taking no prisoners.
Ford gt, raptor, gt350 and 350 r is boring?
Test mules.

Well done dodge.
Add Focus RS too.
Ford doesnt have a 700hp rwd car thats under 100k = Ford performance division sucks. They might as well be toyota. lol
