Maybe its geared for 1/8 mile racing?
Dodge Challenger SRT Demon
- Thread starter Booky
- Start date
where'd you get this information?
That info came from the Road and Track editorial this morning (125 mph 1/8th).
Yes, 4mph back half is obviously not right...but so you guys don't think I'm a potato:

It's unlikely but maybe.
Lot of cool shit in the information cluster. I really wish my car had more stuff like that.
I don't know how much I believe of those shots though..

You can take those numbers with a grain of salt, even if those were the numbers dodge were to go with it which I doubt but this thing would be faster then that. Some suggest they might have let off. I bet this fat boy will be low 10's.
Regardless it is going to be faster then anything from Ford or Chevy for the time being. Its going to be crazy to think a few bolt ons might be able to push this thing into the 9's.

From the sound of it, it may just take a tune, or a pulley swap and tune.
Didn't they say it did 9.56 in the quarter in stock form?

At the end of the video when it flashes through the screen shots you have to pause the video and there are several bits of information in each screen shot...it's the last maybe 7 seconds of the video Dodge posted today.
Here's a screenshot....
If this thing doesn't run 9s I'd be surprised. Now it may take the driver seat only/race gas setting etc... To get there, but I don't see the point of making this vehicle with such a grand marketing scheme if it's not going to break the internet in the process.
In my dads drag mustang, I did a 6.3 second 1/8 mile at 109 mph and finished the 1/4 at a 9.9 @ 134. Had a couple tenths left in it too as is. The gearing is too short and I topped out at 134 long before the 1/4.
Big block 557 CI, N/A motor. I know its a totally different beast.
The Demon should hit 9's from the factory.

Might be in the 9s?! Pulleys, tune, injectors, and slicks on a Hellcat and you're deep in the 9s now. This thing better be able to crack into the 8s as the Hellcats are very close with all of its seats

I paused the teaser video on the HP graph, it looks like it goes just past 700hp and the clock says 757.
Dont think for a second Dodge is giving away the whole story this early on. They're saving the best for last.
That 10.5/7xx hp is likely the black key, regular gas, or both. This thing is going to run a bit more than 3/10 quicker than the hellcat.

That's probably a good point. This car is literally only good for one thing, it better be much faster than that.
8's? You realize the HC challenger weighs 4,449 lbs right? Even if the Demon comes in at 3900 pounds it would have to put out approximately 1061 hp to run 8.99 in the quarter...You're talking about 8's like they're 13's. And without a cage where are you going to run the car? I have no doubt the car is going to be the straight line pony car king but 8's are retard fast.
