I will never care what a “stock” car runs. 90% of us mod our cars in one way or another. Demon/Red Eye/ Hellcat/GT500 are all great machines. Run what ya brung and see what happens. If you lose to a modded car then admit the loss. If losing bothers you, mod your car and improve your driving skills and try again. If losing doesn’t bother you then you are lucky - because there always is going to be somebody faster.

I'm interested in what the new C8 owners are going to have to say about being able to mod that car after news came out that apparently it's going to be super expensive to just tune those things.

Until the cars is actually launched and owners get a chance to comb over them, everything spreading throughout the interweb is pure conjecture.

No use getting all worked up over rumors at this point.

@Kaneda for prez. The truth hurts!

In stock form, the new 500 wont cover the Redeye or Demon at the strip. Is what it is.

We know that's not what the car was designed for though, so........... why get all upset? lol

I've heard this excuse before, but there's no way in the world Owens didn't realize that a Demon is a drag race purpose car and it wasn't at a road course race or taken out of context. He could have chosen ANY VEHICLE, like say the Porsche or BMW they benchmarked against, but he chose the Dodge on purpose. He realized they were gonna fall short and back tracked, like any politician would (He's the marketing manager, which is in essence the same thing).

What isn't really being said here is that Demon is no longer a production vehicle and therefore I don't think you can compare the two fairly if you can't go buy them both on the same day.

That leaves the Redeye and the GT500 which weighs???? (lots of people saying right @ 4200...we will see soon hopefully).

Redeye 797/707 @ 4451
GT500 760/625 @ ____ (4200)

Should be interesting if the 4200 is right.

IMO the C8 will be an amazing road race car with the new design will set the new benchmark for American made cars.

Then there's this: Dodge Viper

This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. He said VENOM kills DEMONS. Demons are out there. Will his VENOM kill my DEMON? WTF cares if it's in showrooms or not. That was his comment.

From what I've seen on YouTube, the Demon is trash at roll racing. So, I wouldn't be too prematurely smug, if I were you.

Cause the fools roll racing don't know how the tranny works. You don't cruise in auto then punch it. You put it in manual mode and then floor it in the lowest gear possible. There is no way I lose to a GT500 with the power advantage I have. You clowns. 625 lb ft of torque vs 770. HAHAHAHA. It's going to be comical when I shoot one back.

Wait so do people actually think a GT500 will walk a Demon during a roll race? Which one is it boys? Down all that power. Where is the advantage coming from?

It will cover the redeye

I'll take that Bet....but what do I get when I win? I just ran a McClaren 650s and was dead even. I can't wait to see a GT500 lose.

Its $500, u already accepted the bet months ago, im just reminding everyone.

U didnt run shit, post the video,

You ass clowns think I am racing to 150mph on public streets? Nah. I'll do 20-120mph at most. Trust me, by then, it won't even be close. Or better yet, we could do from a dig. Which nobody will want. So when can this race happen? In the winter when you finally get to pay 20K over sticker for your stangs?

I must say, the comment that the Demon is a one trick pony is laughable.
While it may not set records at Willow Springs, I do know I could drive mine from
coast to coast in total comfort! Its rides like a cadillac on the roads, and, well, its taken me to a
9.98 fully optioned, minus the roof.
Back on topic, still waiting for pricing so I can get my order in!

The GT500 is going to be a better car overall than the Demon which is a one trick pony.

Meh, it's still an S550 and going to fall short where the S550 falls short of the 2015+ Challenger/Charger.
