2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon Explained

Oh no! How do I redeem myself guys?????
What I'm gathering is that he wants to see a video of the actual cars lining up at the track and the Demon beating the super cars that he jerks it to.
The manufacturer times isn't good enough for him.
You could start by shutting up.
You gathered all that Kenny?! I mean I was very vague with that post.
Am I the only one here that sees the irony?
Absolutely not the only one.
@treynor, make this guys Google disappear like his brain?
What's funny, is that I don't think Hokey Pokey gets it.
I am very interested to see what these things run with Average Joe at the wheel on a chilly fall night. Will be fun for the owners. Dodge put has put a good foot forward.
That's the bad side to any 9-second car, not just the Demon. It takes more than the average Joe to run 9s in anything. Even in an automatic and in chilly air.
It'll be same as the hellcats, LOT of slow passes, with a few guys that actually know how to drive in there as well. I think it'll run low - mid 10s all day, and with good driver / track be into the 9s.
If you read about the car it has a lot of tech to help transfer the weight to the rear. The front struts are active. It also has a transbrake. If you know what that is.....And it traps 140. So the Tesla may give it a hell of a run, but it's eventually going to blow by the Telsa like someone dropped an anchor.
I'll eventually take my barge to the strip. I feel mid 11's on a true street tire are doable. I have 555r's waiting on dedicated rims, hopefully low 11's with a tire. Then you'll pulley and tune it for me and I'll run 10's all day in 4 door comfort?

Probably.
I'd still the CTS-V all day long.

no way that has to be fake . Damon is way faster then this 1000hp CTS-V . Damon is the new king of the dig , it has magic suspension and transbrake so it will rape P100D Tesla on the street from a dig
I saw a Challenger Hellcat pull a 22.xx time at the track a few weeks ago. He literally smoked the tires to half track then just kinda went part throttle the rest of the way.
See, everyone believes going fast in an automatic is always just slamming the skinny pedal, no feathering or adjustments necessary. And that's not always the case. More to going fast than just horsepower, it's not a GTR
so Does the Caddy have 850 hp or 1000? Tell me more about the mythical 8spd auto it has? What bigger blower? Not that many with blower swaps. Has big DR's but doesn't do any kind of burnout to heat them up? How much fail is in this vid? I'd guess the CTSV's number to be closer to 650 at the wheels. If it was a 1000 or even 850 from a roll he would've put counties on the Tesla.
Tesla = yawn. Wake me when....
Like I've been saying; the performance-oriented Tesla's, particularly the P100D, is a force to be reckoned with from a dig. On the street or the strip. No conventional vehicle with power stands a chance against one on the street, from a dig, regardless of tire.
However, look at the vast difference in outcome when instant traction is taken out of the equation. The CTS-V was entering a different zip code! Even the 5.0 would have stood a chance from the 30 roll if the guy was in the right gear. Had that made him spin, though, it's a moot point regardless.
I will say this. If I was in the market for a $100-150K car that was geared more toward the track but still had to be fully functioning, have amenities, etc., I'd be in a P100D before anything else. If just for the consistency and ease of driving alone.

I thought the point of the demon was racing from a dig?
I’m only posting this up because realistically the demon driver is going to be an average putz not knowing how to launch the car. Lol, now I know why you want to talk about roll racing.
I said this before, I don’t care about Tesla’s or electric cars. And I definitely hate electric bikes. But The Tesla cars seem to improve and get faster every year. I still wouldn’t want one!
I get what @slow poke is saying, the demon has all these bad ass features and all these claims, a car specifically built to race 1/4 mile and roll race (probably). Only to get beat by awd cars who’s sole purpose isn’t 1/4 mile.
I respect the demon and think it’s ****ing awesome. A lot of money for a car that does only 1 thing good. So many choices these days for price of admission.
