Dodge SRT Demon Announced

one of the stranger aspects is that they are dropping the 6 piston brakes most likely and going with the 4 piston like on my car (and now found on the scat pack`s) - which are nice brakes but they`re adding HP and taking away some braking ability-- yes I realize a lighter vehicle will require less brakes and they need the smaller wheels to save weight and get the radials on there but I wonder what the 60-0 feet is on this new one compared to the hellcat..that`d be interesting to see when it comes out

Maybe the tire size increase offsets it.
 
lol
no thanks
where am I going to sit my mid life crisis at?
I`m out

but I will be looking to get a hellcat someone wants to trade in
 
`In Standard Trim` won`t have but one seat. I`m sure Dodge will be willing to sell you more seats as options.

Wow...that sounds kinda funny...seats as options.

"Did you get the optional seats?"
 
Sounds like a factory sponsored drag car. Can you get it with five point harness, race seat, fire suppression and roll cage:)?

One seat is an insane idea. I can`t even picture the customer they are after. Mel Gibson? A Mad Max Edition for loners.

this damn car is just confusing me

I figured it can`t be AWD, then they say they have 315 nitto drag radials wrapped around 18inch wheels on all four corners

why the heck would they need those tires on the front if NOT AWD?

and the hopefull Mopartian in me thinks maybe they couldn`t fit the front transfer case in the middle so they had to move it over and tunnel it through the passenger side, so they said "hey lets toss the seats over there"

who knows... all I know is I have no interest in it if it`s a one seater

I just cant figure out why they`d have such meaty tires up front if NOT awd, considering the whole premise here is to save weight,, that`s a lot of unnecessary rotational mass and footprint up front if its only RWD
 
Maybe Fiat-Chrysler America (FCA) should make a Special Edition of it named "Gorilla" or "King Kong" , since Mr. Richard Rawlings from Gas Monkey will surely have something to do with promoting this vehicle.
I`d be in favor of having a Special Edition called just "The King" with a Richard Petty No. 43 and STP color scheme, but alas, NASCAR is NOT a viable (IE; sponsored or endorsed) race venue for FCA.

This whole super-car development at super-car prices is a scary reminder that history repeats itself. This current automotive trend is eerily similar to that of the 1920`s when there were numerous car manufacturers making "luxury" and "fast" cars to get in on the economic boom of that era. It all ended when the Great Depression occurred. Let`s hope that the Dodge SRT Demon, Ford GT, Camaro Z-28, even Tesla`s Model S and it`s Autopilot feature, etc., are not a harbinger of economic times to come. Let the good times roll.... just sayin`!! (Wait, wasn`t that the late 70`s rock group The Cars song title?? Ironic, isn`t it!)
 
Only thing that makes sense to me is selectable AWD. Want to do righteous Burnouts? 2WD. Need to go fast and get all that power to the ground? AWD.

A Hellcat Dart rally racer / Lancer EVO / STI killer would be cool.

For handling? Generally, I`m a fan of equal-size tires at all 4 corners. Not that Drag Radials are renowned for great handling...

It`d be great if it could handle like the other modern Pony Cars, fast cars that can`t handle are simply stupid IMO.
 
Brandt you see this yet ?

From our FCA insider...

This week the Dodge brand teaser video, “Forced Induction,” demonstrates the increasing power output of the Challenger SRT Demon’s supercharged HEMI.

*

To maximize the Demon’s full potential, SRT has added:*

The largest functional “Air Grabber” cold air intake hood ever installed on a production vehicle, measuring more than 45 square inches

A significantly larger air box that is sealed and ducted to the hood scoop

Two illuminated functional “Air Catcher” headlamps


This combination gives the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon significantly increased airflow, while also dropping the inlet air temperature by more than 30 degrees compared with the Hellcat.


To watch the “Forced Induction” video, fans should visit*www.ifyouknowyouknow.com. Just like the previous videos, nothing is a coincidence and everything means something.
